An Awful Scourge.

There are quite number OF people
in Reynoldsville that are either suffer-
ing with grippe or just recovering from
an attack oft. The Pittsburg Adrocdte
says: ''If our country had in it to-day
half as many typhoid fever, smallpox or
cholera cases as IL has OF grippe, our
people would be panic-stricken. In fact
we are suffering form terrible plague,
and we seem scarcely to realize it. The
prevalence OF damp, foggy weather this
winter has done much to spread the
grippe germ, and in many places the
epidemic has seriously interfered with
church services and with business.
This influenza is responsible for so great
number Of deaths that we would be
seriously frightened were any so.caled
serious disease the cause Of them. One
Of the terrible things about grippe is its
after effects. In very large proportion
of cases it leads to heart-failure, pneu-
mOnia. quick consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh of various organs, and other
diseases. Its presence among us is a
matter for individual concern. 1t is a
present duty for each person to take
the best possible care OF himself during
the raw days Of spring. II the disease
develops, the patient should Immediate
ly house himself up, and remain indoors
until he is sure Of recovery. In many
cases patients should keep in bed for
days. Any trifling with this trouble is
perilous."

Repudiating Tendency.

Commenting upon the repudiating
tendency of the board of commissioners
Of Lawrence county at a late meeting,
the Lead Tribune says:
"The board Of county commissioners
showed its populistic colors last Monday
in special session by passing the follow
ing resolutions. Their action will not
be considered of much weight however,
az the courts will without doubt reverse
the order. But it shows the repudiat-
ing tendency of our board. The order
is a follows:
ut appearing to the board Of county
commissioners Of Lawrence county,
sitting in regular session this 2nd day of
March, 1897, that certain 5 per cent
bonds outstanding against this county
are over and above the constitutional
limit, and therefore should be declared
forfeited:
Now. therefore, it is hereby ordered
that all 5 per cent bonds numbered from
l3l TO 637 be and the same are hereby
ordered cancelled, and the auditor in
structed to enter on the bond register a
cancellation of said bonds pursuant to
an order of this board heretofore made
and in conjunction with this order, and
that said bonds be declared to be'no
further obligations Of this county.

Stock Minimizing Wall.

Parties who come in from the cattle
ranges bring good reports Of the condi-
ton o: stock. Cattle men say that what
loss there has been so far has been
mostly among the southern stock
brought to the northern range late in
the season. The uplands are almost as
bare Of snow as in summer, and feed can
be found plentiful on every hand.
Cattle. perhaps, are not in as good con-
dition as they were at this time last
winter, but they would make splendid
beef, and would command a good mar
ket price as they are right now. While
the condition Of the range is not per-
haps as favorable as that Of a year ago,
stockmen feel no alarm whatsoever. and
are making great preparations to STOCK
with many more head as soon as the
weather will permit. Many are in the
south now purchasing so as TO have
them delivered early in the season in
order to get the.a aclimated before next
winter. They figure that 1897 will be
extremely favorable to the cattle in
dustry and $4,000 to 100000 head may
be put on this spring. The SHOWS give
the grass a wonderful growth every
where, the sloughs and water holes will
be full for a year to come. and what
more does the average stockman ask ?
The stock business never had a more
promising future than it has now, and
our average stockmen are the first to
realize it and take advantage Of the
situation. They will make it win this
year, too.-Times
