competent young man said to be worth
5000, 900, who is supposed to have been

New York. Jan. 4-The police have three

TERRIBLE EPIDEMIC OF La GRIPPE
Is Now Raging in All Parts of the United
States, Striking Down Its Victims
Everywhere.
HIGH AND LOW, RICH AND POOR, GREAT AND
SMALL, ARE FALLING, ONE BY ONE.
The Greatest Scourge of the Century Is
Feared

La grippe has always been peculiarly
fatal disease. Its ravages are not so
alarming as diphtheria, or so much
dreaded as smallpox, but its number of
victims is greater than either.
Silently-insidiously gathers in its
fearful harvest of precious lives. 1t does
not spread from man to man like con-
tagious disease, nor does it belong to
limited localities like malaria. 1t Is in
the air everywhere. It is of climatic
origin. No man can escape from il, no
woman is safe from il.
La grippe is epidemic catarrh. La
grippe is acute catarrh excited by Pc
culiar climatic conditions. 1t sweeps
across a continent in q single week, like
the blizzard of winter or the hot wave
of summer. It does not depopulate
whole villages like the black plague,
nor desolate a homo like malignant
diphtheria, but il counts its single vic
tins here and there necessarily, night
and day, week after week.
La grippe is acute epidemic catarrh.
Our climate OF all times, especially in
the winter, excites numerous cases of
acute catarrh. Just now the climatic
conditions are such that very few es-
cape. 1t is called by the French name,
Ia grippe, but in plain English it is ca
tarrh-acute catarrh. The last two
weeks many hundreds have died of it..
In the coming four weeks many thous-
anCs more viii die.
Unlike the hot wave, we cannot flee
from Ia grippe by going to the noun
tains. Unlike the winter blizzard, we
cannot escape Ia grippe by going to
southern chimes.
AS TO the nature of Ia grippe, author
tiles differ. Even now the New York
Board Of Health is declaring il TO be q
contagious disease, while other men Of
equal authority do not regard it as such.
And what IS worse vet, doctors do not
agree as to the remedies for la grippe.
No school Of medicine or set of doctors
have reached any definite conclusion as
70 what remedy or remedies will either
cure OF prevent IL grippe. One doctor
says this and another says that, and in
the meantime the people are dying al
around US.
Since 1850 DR.. Hartman has passed
through four or i've cpidemics Of la
grippe. During all this time he has con-

Good Demand for Fat Hogs

The local hog market yesterday was

command. Following these sales came a
long list Of varying sized lots of wagon

ally inconsequentaI quality and sold at
prices from mthe minimum TO those fig

WOOL MARKET.

Boston. Mass, Jan. 4.-The American
Cotton and Wool Reporter viii say to-
morrow Of the wool trade:
While the volume of transactions the
past week has fallen far below that Of
the corresponding period last year. never
theless there is more than the usual
amount of activity for the opening days
OF the year. The market has been infiu-
enced by the holiday season and by the
fact that everybody's attention has been
more or less devoted to closing up the
books for the year. The next event which
everybody is looking forward 10 is the
opening Of the heavy weight season,
which will probably take place within the
next two or three weeks. There Is
feeling Of mild hOpefulness on the part
Of the wool trade as regards the charac-
ter of the next good season. The sales
Of the week in Boston amount TO 100000
pounds domestic and 1900 pounds for
e!gn, making a total of %. T9S 900, against
a total OF s.7s5. 900 for the previous week
and total Of 7.659. 900 for the correspond
Ing week last year
