ST. LOUIS, SCOURGE.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 5.-Diph theria is raging throughout the city, and in some quarters the disease is assuming such pro- portions as to be considered epidemic. The board of health is indignant at the action of certain physicians in giving the disease a wrong name when filling out death certificates. Nearly all the cases are quoted as croup or laryngitis, when in reality theyare diphtheria or scarlet fever. There seems to be an agreement between the physicians that the truth in regard to the prevalence Of the disease should not be made public.

A telegraphic special from Kan-

that the Grand jury, in session
there has returned indictments
against the chief participants in
the Catholic and American Protec-
tive Association election riots, in
that city. Jerry M. Pate, D. A.
Pike, E. L. Coleman and another
participant in the riot who is not
yet in custody, were indicted for
murder in the first degree, and 0.
M. Bingham and G. G. OFT were in
dicted for assault with intent to
kill. The jury censured the police
department and added: "a single
policeman clothed in uniform then
on the spot could have saved hui
man life and prevented bloodshed
which followed, but none was there
and armed men filled with religious
hatred of each other fought out a
battle and then escaped before the
solitary policeman stationed only
about block away at that pre-
cinct appeared upon the scene"

TEXARKANA ARKANSAS THURSDAY EVENING" MAY g. 1894
S solemnly avouched, is told in the

solemnly avouched, is told in the
following words
A duel at the age of 6 years is an
unusual occurrence, even in the life
of military hero; yet such a duel
is related of Napoleon, and his part
in the affair was taken with as much
energy as he ever displayed in after
life. 1t happened in this way;
Little Napoleon was a pet of the
garrison at Aiaccio, and often
would go out with the grenadiers on
the exercise field while they were
drilling. He would follow the tao
tics as closely as the most grizzled
veteran among them, and the ofiic-
ers were as much interested in him
as the men, One day an ugly old
grenadier told him to march faster,
and angrily exclaimed that he was
in the way. Little Nap quickened
his step, but did not answer a
word.
After the drill was over the little
fellow approached the oldgrenadier
with fire in his eye, Monsieur,
vous m'avez manquew he cried
fiercely (You went back on me.)
"Eh, puis?" was the contemptu-
Gus retort.
"Vous men rendrez raisonm (You
will give me satisfaction for it,
"In what manner2" asked the
soldier, who began to see that the
child was in earnest,
''En tirant lie sabre moi was the
excited response.
The humor of the situation was
irresistible, The grenadier drew
his big sword from its sheath. Ma
poleOn snatched out his little one
and put himself on guard like an
old fencer. The duel was begun.
The boy rushed impetuously upon
his adversary, as if he meant to end
it as soon as possible. OF course,
the grenadier needed all his skill to
keep from hurting the child and
protect himself at the same time.
Just then a couple of officers
came up. They interfered at once.
They complimented young Bona
parte on his bravery and scolded
the grenadier, threatening to send
him to the guard house. This only
made little Nap more angry. eco
away" he exclaimed, 'let us fight
it out. He has insulted me-
"But you are an officer. An ofIic-
er never fights a duel with mere
private soldier"
eff I have sabre" was the
child's answer, 1T is that l may use
it against all those who give me
ofliense."
At last, but only with great diff
ficulty, the infant was pacifed with
out bloodshed His father, appear
ing on the scene by accident, cried
to the grenadiers Gentlemen,
you will spoil that child for me. l
shall be compelled to make a soldier
out of him in spite of myself.
