A doctor writing in an English periodical
has this to say in reference to the talk
about influenza which one hears at present:
MANY people may be surprised to hear that
even in this world there are places where it
is impossible to catch cold, simply because
there are no colds to catch. There are facts,
however, which seem to prove this For
example, Nansen and his men during the
three years which they spent in the Arctic
regions never caught a cold. Yet they were
exposed to cold, fatigue and wet to degree
which we at home can hardly realize Espe-
cially one remembers how Nansen and his
comrade Johansen during their wonderful
expedition on foot over the Polar ice Wen.
on, day after day, clad in clothes which
were so saturated with perspration chat
they froze by day into one solid mass of ice,
and even cut into the flesh; how every night
when they tucked themselves up in their
sleeping bags, the first hour was spent in
thawing; how they lay shivering, their
frozen socks spread across their chests until
their clothes gradually became wet and soft
and eventually comfortable and warm. It
was, indeed, a damp bed to sleep in. Yet
they never caught cold" All of which raises
the question of the availability of the Polar
regions as a winter health resort. The most
interesting intelligence from the Klondike
will be with regard to the popularity OF
that region in this very respect. Perhaps we
shall have our doctors, dsinterested persons
as they are, telling those of their patients
who suspectible TO cold, 10 go north
and grow UP with the country.

Eugene Higgins who died in Baltimore last
Friday, of the most unique charac-
te~s in American politics. Higgins was born
sixty years ago He was in appearance
typical sport of the old school, He had "A
somewhat fiorid face, long, white mus
tache. and was scrupulously neat in his APP
pearance. He invariably wore clothing of
the latest cut, and his head was always
surrounded by a glossy tile of the seasons
block Furthermore, Higgins invariably
drank wine, which is the vernacular for
champagne Through all the period when
the ring ruled Baltimore and Baltimore gov

When Mr. Cleveland first became Presi-
dent and Daniel Manning was made secre-
formers Of the country were thrown into fits
upon the announcement that Higgins had
peen selected Tor appointment clerk Oh the
treasury. His reputation as a political heads
man was such ta, every clerk in the de-
partment trembied for his place when he
learned of Higgins's selection, and very nat
urally those in the appointment division were
the most worried of all. But there was one
among them. jolly. short. squat German,
who did not propose to borrow trouble. His
colleagues in the office were introduced one
after another. and finally Fred Grimm was
presented to the new chief.
Mr. Hiccons" he said my name is
Grim. l have come to gif you a pointer.
You don't know der furst brincibles of your
dooty.''
Well sir" said Mr. Higgins severely,
IF you can give me any information as to
the proper way in which should begin my
labors in this office / shall be glad to have
you do So"
Sir replied the smiling clerk, der furst
duty of a chentleman who komes into dis

That suggestion pleased Higgins. He
needed no further hint. ''All the male clerks
of this Office" he said, will meet me at
Solaris at exactly 4:15 and the man who is
one minute late will be looking for a new
job tomorrow"
There was not an absentee. Higgins
bought a basket of Piper, and thereby es-
tablished himself in the good graces of his
clerks. He never had occasion to dismiss
one of them during his term Of office; and
there is not clerk in that division of the
treasury who does not sincerely regret the
demise of Eugene Higgins.

BEDFORD, Ind, Jan. 22.-In short time
Bedford will have a third bank. About a
month ago T. o. Daggy, former treasurer of
the county, sought to make a deal for the
purchase Of the Citizens Bank, to become
the property of John r. Walsh and others,
but the principal stockholders, Col. A. c.
Voris, Joseph r. Voris and Harry NJ. Voris,
declined to sell. He then approached the
stockholders of the Stone City Bank, and
the latter, it is understood, were disposed
to consider a proposition based on a valua-
ton of the bank stock at 100 per cent. The
representative of the Walsh interest OBJ
jected to the price. The business interests
here owned or controlled by John r. Walsh
pay out between $40, 900 and $50, 600 per month
by check on Mr.. Walsh's Chicago bank.
This money kept in Bedford would be suffi-
cient for a good banking business. These
interests are very extensive, as the pay roll
indicates, and are destined to be much larger
in the future.
