Can ii be avoided prevented:
And can it be cured?
Grip is characterized by continued fever, by
tendency to inflammation of the membranes of the
digestive and often the respiratory tracts, by pain
in the muscles, and by debility.
The grip in individual cases varies from slight
indisposition to forms with grave symptoms
these variations depending wholly upon the
health age, temperament nervous condition OF
ethe person. Those predisposed TO rheumatism
suffer great I4in n the muscles persons of nervous
temperament become low spirited, often have hSs-
terra, and if not closely watched, have been
known to commit suicide. Several cases of this
sort have been reported this month in the news
papers. Headache is a constant symptom. The
bowels are generally constipated Whatever form
the disease takes, there is invariably extreme
prostration The danger to persons in previous
healthfu condition is slight.
1t has been absolutely proven that there is one
certain preventive of serious cases of grip; and
that there is remedy for persons suffering Wild

AFFAIRS IN PUERTO RICO.
Elections Slowly Progressing-Muoh
Interest In Congress.


Interest In Congress.
San Juan, Puerto Rico, Dec. 20.-
The elections in Puerto Rico are pro-
crossing slowly. The Republicans car
ried Ponce on December II by about
], 100 majority.
According to the census of 1897 there
are over $4,000 people in the Ponce
district, but of that number only 4, 468
are eligible to vote, the right of suffrage
being limited to taxpayers and profess
sional men, about 4,440 of that num-
Der going to the polls. The Republl-
cans say that San Juan will give them
tremendous majority, and that the
election throughout the island will re-
suit in an overwhelming federal defeat.
The elections will last for at least two
months more, there being still over 80
towns to vote.
The people are looking forward snx-
iously TO the action of congress ON the
question of civil government. Many
expect that Puerto Rico will be Inn
mediately given 3 system of self-gov-
ernment for the island, while others
take q more conservative view Of the
subject. The Boletin Mercantil, COM
menting on the subject says:
"The form of civil government for
Puerto Rico will undoubtedly be the
one recommended by President McKin-
ley in his annual message to congress.
With the expectation of the highest
Office, the appointee for which place
is not known yet, the appointments
will be distributed among. the most
capable Puerto Ricans and Americans. 4"

Rowing Bands Capture Supplies Sent
for Mexican Soldiers.
Austin, Tex, Dec. 20.-A special
from Ortiz, state Of Sonora, Mexico,
states that the Mexican authorities are
contemplating sending more troops into
the Yaqui Indian country at once, as
it is thought that the present force will
not be able to cope with the situation.
General Torres now has some 5000
men, but it will take at least that many
more. or possibly twice that number,
owing to the geographical conditions
surrounding the uprisings which pre-
vents successful military movements.
The Indians are DO scattered that un.
less some troops are sent to the front to
engage the small rowing bands, they
will continue to depredate the country
and harass the soldiers under General
Torres until they wear them out. There
are now about 1,500 Indians engaging
the attention of the soldiers, while the
remainder of the 5000 braves who are
on the war path have scattered into
small, rowing bands, for the purpose Of
pilfering. These rowing bands OF In
dians are capturing supply trains sent
out to the Mexican forces in. the field.
They have of late captured several
trains containing provisions and am
munition.

of steel for the Northern Pacific extern
sion. The rails were covered with ice
and snow. and in descending the long
grade leading into Kendrick the train
got out of control of the trainmen and
dashed madly down the steep grade,
about O'Clock this evening. A mile
and half east of Kendrick four cars
were ditched, and the track was torn
up for quarter of mile. When the
rest of the flying train struck the yards
the engines and all the cars were
ditched and completely wrecked, and
the track there torn up for 200 yards.
Wrecking trains have been sent from
Spokane and Lewiston.
The Kendrick grade is one of the
steepest in the Northwest. Control of
the train was lost at the head of the
grade and then the engines started on
their mad five-mile run in the dark.
None of the fated crew have lived to
tell the story of their awful sensations
while being swept on to death.

CURRENCY BILL PASSED
The Vote Of the House Was
1870 to $50.
ELEVEN DEMOCRATS FOR IT
The Measure Had the Support of Every
Republican Member of the House
Resolutions in the Senate.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The currency
bill, which was debated all last week,
was passed today by the house by a
vote of 100 to 15O 1t had the united
support of every Republican in the
house, and of IL Democrats-Clayton
briggs, Fitzgerald, Levy, Rupert,
Scudder, Underhill, and Wilson, of
New York; McAleer, of Pennsylvania;
Denny, of Maryland, and Thayer, of
Massachusetts,. All the other Demo-
Gratis voted against the measure or were
paired against it, except John Walter
Smith, governor-elect from Maryland;
Stallings, of Alabama, and General
Joseph Wheeler, of Alabama. STALL
ings has not been present in the house
this session ON account of illness, and
one OF his colleagues announced that if
present he would have voted in the ne
gative. General Wheeler is serving in
the Philippines.
When the speaker announced the re-
suit the Republicans cheered Justify.
After the vote the speaker rather un-
expectedly announced the committee
selections, and the reading of the list
was followed with intense eagerness by
the members, whose opportunities for
distinction depend 80 largely upon
their committee assignments.
The only incident in connection with
the reading of the list was Bailey's in
terrogatory of the speaker as to whether
General Wheeler's name had been
placed upon the committee on ways
and means. Speaker Henderson re-
sponded In the negative.
Announcement of the death of the
late Representative Bland, of Missouri,
which occurred last summer, caused an
early adjournment.

General Hart was to attack the left

and General Littleton was to take the
center and to support either.
Early in the day / saw that General
Hart would not be able to force q pas

What the senate may accomplish in
the way of legislation for the Philip
pines during the present session is
problematical, but that the question
will be thoroughly discussed is indi-
Gated by the number of resolutions
bearing upon it being produced. In
opposition to the retention by the
United States of the Philippine islands,
two resolutions were introduced today,
one by Tillman, of South Carolina,
and the other by Bacon, of Georgia.
Each resolution purposes to yield the
islands to a government to be estab-
Hshed by the Filipinos themselves.
Morgan, of Alabama, addressed the
senate briefly upon the necessity of
legislation to control trusts, and had
his joint resolution again referred to

SHOT WIFE AND SONS.
Jealous Man Then Sent Bnllet Throug
His Own Head.

ms OWh 06AOs
Tacoma, Dec. 18.-Adam Crist de-
iberaJely shot his wife fatally, killed
his S-year-old son, seriously wounded
a second son, aged 5 years, and then
ended the tragedy by putting bullet
through his own brain. Jealousy Is the
only motive assigned for the crime.
Crist is the proprietor of the Chicago
house, and returned this morning from
a six months business trip to Spokane.
He was at the hotel during the
morning, and apparently in the best of
health and spirits. About 2 o'clock
in the afternoon he went to Pacific
avenue pawnbroker and purchased two
revolvers. He stopped few doors
away at a drug store and bought 25
cents worth of vitriol. He must have
proceeded directly home, for the shoot
ing occurred only few moments later.
Crist was in the hotel kitchen, on
the second floor, when his wife was
called to the head of the stairs to talk
to peddler. After the interval of q
few moments he sent the younger child
to ask her to come to the kitchen.
Immediately afterward four shots we're
fired, all of which were found to have
taken effect in her body. He then
turned the revolver on the little boy
and wounded him in the leg, but the
child managed to crawl down the stairs
and escape.
The woman staggered to the side
walk and Crist went into the hall,
where he caught the 8-year-old boy.
There are no witnesses to this part OF
the tragedy, but from the position OF
the bodies Crist must have held the Lad
close to him while he put q bullet
through his heart. A 41-caliber bullet
through his own head followed, and
both bodies fell to the floor, still
clasped in each others arms.
