From Clones.

Ed. Register-La Grippe has been
getting in some pretty effective work
in this and adjacent vicinities since my
last from this point. 1t is no respector
of persons, an attacks persons of all
ages and conditions. There are many
opinions as to its origin. Whether it
is bacterial in its origin, l do not pre-
tend to know, but Greenley, in the
american Practitioner and Neacs, says
I'm my opinion la grippe is due to a
definite micro-organism which is in the
atmosphere under certain conditions
and at certain places, which conditions
of atmosphere last for a longer Or short
er period. When these micro-organ-
isms come in contact with the muscus
membrane of the respiratory tract. if
the conditions are such that they find
lodgment, then the disease is manifest.
l am firm believer in the germ theory
of the disease" Let it be bacterial in
its origin or not, it gets in its work all
the same.
We now have our mail facilities just

dent at Quincy, Ill. A young lady was
teaching in one of the public schools
on history, when she came to pensions
she said to her pupils that the soldiers
who drew pensions were paupers and
had to swear to a lot of lies. And the
G. A. r. men had called on the school
board to discharge her. This looks
bad for an Illinois girl; if it had been
a Mississippi or some other Southern
state girl it would not have sounded so
bad, for Southern girls will speak what
they think.
Mr.. Hall, our teacher, went to Pied

A little child of Joseph Farmer was
buried here late this evening. The
creek being past fording, the little
corpse had to be carried to the rail-
road bridge south of Annapolis. This
was quite a hardship. as there is no
road. This incident speaks volumes in
favor of a county bridge at this place.
As long as Iron county has money to
loan l don't see why Annapolis should
not be treated to good bridge across
Big Creek. We may be wrong in this
matter, but fail to see where at present.

A Curious Wager.

A wager was made in 1905 In the
Castle Yard, York, England, between
Thomas Hodgson aud Samuel Whitehead
as to which should succeed in assuming
the most singular character. Umpires
we're selected, whose duty it was to de.
eide upon the comparative absurdity OF
the costumes in which the two men were
to appear. On the appointed day Hodg-
son came before the umpires decorated
with bank notes of various values, his
coat and vest being entirely covered
with them. Besides these he had row
of fiveguiuea pieces down his back, a
netted purse of gold around his head
and placard on his back bearing the
legend "Johu Bull" Whitehead came
en- the scene dressed like woman on
one side, one-half OF his face painted
and a silk stocking and slipper on one
foot and leg. The other half OF his
face was blackened so as 10 resemble
an African on the corresponding side OF
his body he wore gaudy, long tailed
linen coat; his leg on that side being In

and boot with a spur, He wore>a wig
of sky-bluc braided down his back and
tied with yellow, red and orange colored

that he presented the most singular aud
ludicrous appearance, but the umpirea

NJ. de Varigny gives in the Paris
Revue des deux Mondes clear, succlnct
account of the events Of the Chilean war,
which the conflicting repor:s OF news
paper correspondents have left vague IN
most minds. Wnilo he b.ane' the con-
duct of Balmaccda, he regards much OF
what has happened as the almost IN
evitablc outcome OF the opposition OF
English and American ideas and ln-
duencc, which, working as they have
worked together in the evolution OF the
Chilean Republic, had cteateda u condition
of things under which it was impossible
for a people so naturally vigorous to con-
tinue. Chilean parliamentary instltu.
tions are impregnated, according to NJ.
de Varigny, with che monarchlcal spirit
of England, from which country they
were copied. But this monarchicll sys'
TEN has for its own CROWN an autocratic
President, whose powers were g'anted
TO him under American influence, end
whose position in the Constitution was
copied from that OF the President OF the
limited States. The two institutions
cannot work together. Balmaceda only
followed in his unconstitutional prac'
tees the "deplorab,e dcviations' OF all
his predecessors. and one of the results
of the war is likely to be revision Of
machinery of Government which may
bring the powers OF the President and
tbo Parliament into more logical re.
latiop to each other. The Chilean war,
in fact. has been, in NJ. Narlgny'S read
inc of it, a war between the force which
made for closer union with the United
States and those which made for tho
supremacy OF English influence; the
English forces have won, and with thell
victory the dreams of the three Americas
united against the world loses all chance
of realization. The indignation o
Chile, he continues, has been stirred
against the United States, ,and too deeply
for the breach to be easily healed, anC
tho ambition of the Republic will TO
the future be to maintain its independ
ence until it takes, in the southern con
tinent, tho position of supremacy whic
the United States holds in the north.
