Polish may be laid upon wood to such

same thing may happen to man.
People who honestly tell us of our faults

N 1890 la grippe first attracted world
wide notice under that name. Since
then hardly year has passed that it's
attentions have not been pressed upon
mankind, until it is coming into the
front rank with consumption and pneu-
monia and diphtheria. What it is and
whence it comes and what to do with
it are questions the medical men are
pretty much at sea about Some trace
a pretty close relationship between it
and what we used to call the "epizoo-
tic;" others find it closely related to
epidemics of influenza that are record
ed as far back as 1910; others find a
close resemblance in it to the dengue
or bre ak-bone fever.

California street heavyweights to the
handsome home of a capitalist on Pacific
avenue, who is no longer popular in the
Pacific Union club. After the dinner,
which was eaborately planned, perfectly
served and thoroughly appreciated, the
host led the way to the billiard room, where
he produced for the inspection of his friends
a new roulette wheel which he had just pur-
chased.
After it had been examined and duly ad.
mired monsieur proposed that his friends
tempt fortune with it, announcing that he
would be banker, and smilipgly invited

expected this sort of diversion, but they
hardly could decline the entertainment"

on the black or the red, they expected to
lose a trihe to their host, but they did not
anticipate any such financial catastrophe

The bank won steadily. Soon all the
player guests were "broke," but the host
offered, in an off-hand way, to stake one
and all, guarding against a loss of the
frequent loans, however, by taking the
checks of his friends. For the purpose, with
admirable forethought, he had provided
himself with blank checks on every bank in

LINCOLN, Aug. 30.-Lincon people
and those from towns nearby to the
number of over 10000, gave a noisy and
enthusiastic reception to the First Ne
braska regiment last night. Four com
panies left the train before reaching
here, going home. Two more compa-
mics left the train hero. The train left
with the remainder at shortly after l2
o'clock.
The occasion was the biggest thing in
the way Of an ovation that has ever oc-
CURED in this city. Everybody was ont
to greet the returning soldiers, and as
the train pulled into the station bedlam
broke loose Every conceivable thing
with which noise could be made Was
brought into play. The JOY Of the sol
diers at reaching home again was only
equaled by that Of their friends and rel
atives, who had gathered i'll thousands
to welcome them.
