The Grin.

1t is only now that physicians are able
to begin to sum up the real consequences
of that Russian influenza which has
ragged among us the past two winters.
These results crop out in unexpected
forms almost every day in some part of
the country. Consumption, pneumonia,
weakened eyesight and long continued
nervous prostration are some of the more
common consequences of the scourge..
But there are others even worse. In
sanity from grip is unfortunately not
at all uncommon. A hopeless and un-
accountable depression comes first to
the weakened and nerveless body. It
grows till the mental faculties give way.
Sometimes the sufferer becomes perma-
nently insane. In Pennsylvania two
brothers from one family have been
taken to the asylum, both dangerously
insane from the effects of grip. No case
Of insanity from grip is sadder than that
of a gentleman in New York who was
suddenly attacked with grip q few weeks
before his wedding day. The violent
attack passed and left him a lunatic,
with apparently no hope Of future re-
covery. Sometimes it, is not madness,
but suicide that follows the steps of the
plague. One Of the suicides lately was
that of a highly respected police captain
in Philadelphia. He was ian old sol
der, brave as a lion, we are told, yet
he could not fight off the depression that
overwhelmed him following seizure Of
grip.
It is the opinion Of some physicians
that the grip is product Of theeamine
districts of Russia, terribla eminder
to all the world Of the filth Starvation,
wretchedness and despair Of hundreds Of
thousands of their fellow men.

For Our Agricultural Interests

For Our Agricultural Interests.
One of the most important congress
sional investigations ever made in
America has been entered on by the
United States senate committee on agri-
culture and forestry. It will be an in
quiry into the long continued depression
of agricultural prices in this country.
Even the rise in wheat that was expected
to take place in view of the famine in
Europe did not do so. Cotton has been
lower recently than ever before, while
the breeders of food animals have been
grievously disappointed in the seasons
results.
What is the reason? It is certain that
the retail dealers in farm food products
do not become rich any faster than they
did formerly. It is also certain that
consumers in cities pay for nearly every.
thing as much as they ever did. The
senate committee will examine into
every cause that has a possible bearing
on the present depression.
Ihey Will look into grain gambling
and speculation in agricultural product:
of all kinds, ascertaining if perhaps thi:
speculation keeps prices down. They
will study methods and prices Of trans
portation, cost of lands, machinery ani
tillage and the fees of middlemen. Diver
SIZED farming and the improvement O
cultivation both as to increasing crop
and diminishing their cost of productio,
will come under the microscope, as vii
also irrigation as factor in increasing
crops. Both during the sessions of con
gress and during the recess this senat,
agricultural committee will patientl,
continue the endeavor to find out who i
| is that grows richer while the farme
grows poorer.

-Appreciating the difficulty of con.
sulting Farmer Ben we have laid the case
of Dan, the Day Worker, of the Register,
before him. He says if Dan wants a
house, he should work for as high prices
as possible, but work anyway, if going
prices are less than suits him; work every
day he gets chance. Farmers work on
the every day and every hour system, and
half the time on crops that never pay,
but some of them pay some years. Far
mers that build in town and rent their
farms, reach such seasons without such
debt as absorbs all their good crops. Be
economical. Dan. Don't spend your
money before you get it,. The ready
will buy quarter more things than trust,
especially after you have abused trust by
not paying at the earliest practicable
moment Don't let your money get away
for liquor, cigars and other things that
grow in town. When you get chance
TO clean house, don't insist on running
the whole establishment. Let the owner
say who shall be cook, chambermaid,
coachman and gardener. Your air of
owning the house. debating who shall
occupy all the other positions and what
shall be their pay, lost YOU that last job.
About the boy, Briar Rose says. "Keep

in season for breakfast. Teach him to be
industrious and not whine when thrown

WINDY CITY REVOLUTION.
Grade Crossing Horrors May Cause a
Great Railway Change.

CHICAGO, February 14.-The Times
says revolutionary move is contemplate
ed by the railroads entering Chicago.
Rather than elevate their tracks, they
propose to build new belt line with
which each road will make connections.
All tracks, depots and other property
within the city limits will be abandoned.
The Chicago & Northwestern estimates
that to elevate the 100 miles of surface
tracks it owns in the city will cost $685.
100000. Nearly 1900 miles of surface
tracks are in Chicago proper, and on this
basis the cost to complete the elevation
would run up to between 5000; 900, 900
and 5000, 900. The motive for this
radical departure is the agitation result
ing from the daily horrors at grade cross
ings, the loss of life in the aggregate be-
ing appalling.

Jumped to His Death.

CINCINNATI, O., February 15.-Mere--
dith Stanley, the bridge jumper, leaped
from the suspension bridge into the river
at IL o'clock this morning and sustained
injuries which will probably prove fatal.
He is suffering intensely and is unable to
talk. In his descent from the bridge, he
attempted to turn somersault but failed
and struck the water sideways. A purse
of $25 was made up to induce Stanley
and his wife to make the leap together,
but she refused on account of the purse
being too small and the water too cold.
Stanley then agreed to inmp alone.
