MANY HAVE GRIP
City Is Having Its Share of
the Epidemic.
THOSE WHO HAVE DIED
Numbers are Confined at
Home, Others Recovering

The alarming increase in grip and pneu-
unonia in this city has given rise TO some
apprehension. Some physicians who were
seen yesterday say that these diseases
are the most fatal during January ana
ebruarv and at this season, in this city
alone. there is now a great many OF the
citv,s popu.ation confined to their rooms
and homes with an attack Of the grip.
Some are down with it; others are recover
ing. and during the last few Gays lneFe
have been several deaths in the city anu
vicinity. The ravages of grip among Dusl-
ness men and their employees has 10 some
extent entailed extra duties upon lhose
who have been fortunate enough TO nave
ESCAPED the disease or have recovered from
a recent attack.
There seems to be an epidemic Of Illness
now prevailing throughout the many
states. from the east to the extreme west
and south TO the Gulf.
Physicians in the city are having about
all they can attend to at present, though
they do not feel that there is any need
of special anxiety over the results Of death
TO any large degree, as remedies are now
within their reach which if properly Iol-
lowed will bringg about relief and fna-
recovery, if followed as prescribed. The
drug stores have been busy during the past
week filling prescriptions, more especially
for the grip than any other disease.
So far as can be learned, fatalities that
can be traced to the cause OF grip are few,
but more deaths have occurred in this
vicinity during the past week than for a
Icing time before. Since Sunday the fol-
lowing have been reported: Patrick Nc
Donald, living six miles west; II. B. Cas-
sidy, city; Florence Dobson, city; Cecil
Shapaugh, city; Jennie Moran, city.
Those that are confined 70 the house are
as follows: S. w. Cooper, who has so far
been one of the exempts, went home yes
terday surrendering to the disease; W. c.
Donnelly, Judge D. NJ. Dale, Clink Howe,
Will Stanley, son of Professor Stanley.
W. D. Francis will soon be out on the
streets. He has been sick six weeks, his

DISTRICT COURT ADJOURNS.
Judge Dale has adjourned court until
January It, in order to allow himself the
lawyers and all others interested finish
