POISONED BY IMPURE VIRUS.
Amos Fry's Family in a Serious Condition
and Some Members May Die.

and Some Members May Die.
The family of Amos Fry, near Bos-
ton, Ind, is in a terrible condition as
result of impure vaccination. Several
weeks ago one of the neighbors was
vaccinated and Mr.. Fry determined to
yaccinate his four children from virus
taken from the arm of the neighbor.
The operation was performed The
four children were taken violently ill
and eruptions appeared over their en-
tire bodies, from the size of a dime TO
that of half-dollar. Miss Amy Fry,
II years of age, was compelled to have
her arm amputated, and is so i'll that
she probably cannot recover. All the
children are suffering from blood-poi-
eoning of a severe type, and all of them
may die. Physicians say that the virus
has permeated their entire system and
even should they recover they will be
physical wrecks.

John Speer entered his 80th year the
other day at Wichita, Kan, and cele-
brated the event by making worlds

Mr.. Speer is the pioneer editor Of
Kansas, but Quantrell burned his Office
in the Lawrence massacre, and killed
two of his sons, since which time he
has been in comparatively poor cir
cumstances.
\ few months ago he concluded to
publish the life of that picturesque
Kansas statesman, Senator Jim Lane.
He is now 1T the work, and has 200
pages out of 400 stereotyped. As an
instance of his remarkable memory, he
is compiling the life of Lane as he sets
the tyre. lie averages 5000 ems day.
Those who have read the proofs say
the history is very correct, and The
literary style quite interesting.
Mr.. Speer will have no assistance in
the work, and he insists on setting all
the type Composing as Ae goes a1ong)
and making up the forms for the book
himself. He has two cases Of type at
the residence of his SOB, and he stands
up before them eight hours every day.
Mr.. Speer was in the first batch OF
emigrants that came from New Eng
land to Lawrence to oppose slavery in
Kansas, and was conspicuous both
personally and with his pen in the
fioht for q free state.

There has been revival of the wicked
and groundless stories to the effect
that Ruth Cleveland, the presidents
oldest child, is afflicted with brain
trouble. During the last three weeks
several newspapers have stated that
this little girl was in a sanitarium at
Kirksville, Mo-, under treatment from
DR.. Still, "a famous bone doctor"
Others have said that the child was
at Evanston, H., in a sanitarium, or
was about to be sent there.
These statements have been circu
lated chiefly in the west. Of course
they are false. Anyone might be con-
vinced any afternoon by seeing Ruth
and her sister Esther bundled into q
carriage at the white house door by
their nurse to be taken for ride The
presidents children are not secluded.
When the weather is clear and warm
they play in the white house yard. Any
one can see them. Ruth is as we'll and
as bright as any parents could wish
their child to be.

One of the prettiest Juvenile balls OF
the holidays in Washington took place
the other afternoon at the home of
Secretary Lamont. Miss Bessie and
Miss Julia Lamont entertained al! their
school friends from four to seven to
meet their guest, Miss Elsie Cochran,
daughter of MIR. and Mrs. William f.
Cochran, of New York. who just ar
rived to pay them a holiday visit.
Mrs. Lamont gave up the whole house
to the children, and there was never
a merrier gathering. The drawing
rooms were completely stripped Of fur
niture and rugs and the polished floors
were perfect for dancing. Southern
smilax sprayed the walls, caught here
and there with rosettes and streamers
of scarlet ribbon. The doorways were
framed in green, and the effect was
very pretty. A collation. of all the
sweets and ices dear to the youthful
heart was served in the dining-room.

Mantle on Protection.

The following eloquent and pat
riotic enunciation of the republican
principle of protection is from
Hon. Lee Mantle, one of the able
representatives of Montana in the
U. S. senate.
~ am believer in the principle
of protection because it gives the
work of this republic to our own
workingmen, to whom of right it
belongs. Employment is essential
to the we'll being and happiness of
the people. 1t brings prosperity
and content and inspires patriot
ism. Idleness, upon the other
hand, is prolific of discomfort and
social disorders of every character.
am therefore in favor of that
policy which will light the fires in
our own furnaces, start the wheels
in our own factories, furnish labor
to our people, develop our own
magnificent resources, furnish a
home market for our own products,
and which will come nearest to
making us self-sustaining, indie
pendent nation in every particular.
The protective principle, wisely
and justly applied, will aid greatly
in bringing about these desirable
ends. But it ought never to be
invoked for the benefit of Gny
special interest, class or section
: or be permitted to foster any mo
nopoly or combination against th'
, public interest. 1t must protec

national debt in time of peace,
1862, 900, 900; for its disreputable
bond deal with foreign bankers, by
the chief executive, through his
law partner, at cost to the peo.
pie of more than $4,000, 900; for
defeating, by unlawful administra-
tive process, the beniticent pur-
poses of the pension laws; for alb
rogating and refusing to carry
into effect the reciprocity treaties
of the last republican administra-
ton, through which our national
commerce and trade were being
rapidly developed; for its weak,
vacillating, supine and unpatriotic
foreign policy; for attempting
under thinly disguised assump-
tion of patriotism to avoid investi-
cation and evade just criticism for
nefarious transactions in public
securities, and generally for it's
incompetent and disastrous con
duct of the nations affairs.
We condemn as un-republican
and un -statcsmanlike the action OIL
those republicans In congress, who
in defiance of republican traditions
rushed to the aid of a democratic
administration in securing the
unconditional repeal of the Sher'
man law, and we assert that the
repeal of that law has utterly
failed to accomplish single
beneficent result predicted by th'
enemies of silver.
We condemn the pauperizin&
policy of the democratic admins
tration in regard to the veterans
of the late civil war, as unjust ant
.unpatciotic. Their investigation
with regard to pensions hav
proved farcical and worked unjus
hardship to deserving pensioners
