HIGH AND Low, RICH AND POOR, GREAT AND

The Greatest Scourge OF the Cen
tury Is Feared.

La grippe has always been peculiarly
fatal Disease. It's ravages are not so
alarming as diph,heria or so much dreaded
as smallpox. but It's number of victims is
greater than either
Silently--insiditusly-- gathers IN Its
fearful harvest OF precious lives. 1t does
not spread from man to man like COIL

tied localities like malaria. II is in the
air everywhere. II is OF climatic origin.
safe fiom II.
La grippe is epidemic catarrh. La
grippe is acute catarrh excited by peculiar
climatic conditions. II sweeps ACROSS a
continent in single week. like tho bliz-
card OF winter or the hot wave OF summer
IL does not dcpopulate whole villages Ike
the black plague, nor deso.ate home like
malignant dlphtherla, but 1t counts its
single Victims here ami there incessanuy
night and day week after week.
La grippe is acute epidemic catarrh. Our
clinate at all mes. especially In the win
ter. eXcitts numerous cases OF acute ca
tarrh. Just now the climatic conditions
are such that very few escape. 1t is called
by the French name, In grippe, but in
plnin English it is caiarrh--acttte catarrh.
The last two weeks many hundreds hayo
died Oh IT, In the coming four weeks many
thousands more will die.
Unlike the hot wave. we can not flee
from la grippe by going TO the mountains.
Undlke the winter blizzard. we can not es
cape la grippe by going TO Southern climes.
As 10 the nature OF In grippe, author
ties differ. Even now the New York board
OF health Is declaring 1t TO be a contagious
disease. while other men of equal authority
DO not regard 1t ms such. And what ~
worse yet, doctors do not agree as 10 the
remedies for la grippe. No school OF medi-
cine or set of doctors have reached any
definite conchs en- as to what remedy or
remedies will either cure or prevent In
grippe. One doctor says this and another
says that and in this meantime the peo-
PIE are dying all around us.
Since 1850 DIR. Hartman has passed
through four o. five epidemios OF In grippe.

FUNERAL OF RICHARD COKE, JR.
HID WAS THE LAST OF THE CHILL
DREN OF THE LATE SENATOR.
Mrs. Coke Ii Now the Only Member
of the Family LivinE-Cere-
monies Impressive.

Waco, Texas, January 4.-The funeral Of
Richard Coke, son of the late Senator
Coke, was an impressive one this after
room. 1t was made moro impressive by the
fact that he is the last but two OF dis
tinguished family in Texas Mrs. Coke and
Hon. Henry Coke of Dallas. a nephew Of
the senator, are the only surviving mem
bers in this State.
The death of Richard Coke, Jr., eNtbn-
cuisines the line Of direct descent from
the great senator of the same name whose
statue and monument of white marble was
completed few months ago. Senator Coke
and Miss Mary e. Horne were united IN
marriage in Waco in August. 1852. Born to
them were Amanda Elizabeth Coke, Jack
Coke, Mary Victoria Coke and Richard
Coke, Jr. All are dead Richard Coke, Jr.,
was born July 80, 1853
DIR. r. C. Burleson, who solemnized the
wedding of Senator and Mrs. Coke, who de-
llverei the sermon last year at the funeral
of the senator, Officiated at the funeral OF
Richard Coke Jr.
Senator Cokes friends all over the State
wired messages OF confidence to the sor-
rowing mother.
Richard Coke, Jr., turned to the life of
farmer from Unborn taste. He was very
young during the administration of his
father as governor OF Texas. During the
long service of his father IN the senate of
the United States he was offered opptU-
tunities in the legal profession and in
politics. The great black waxy cotton plan
tatlon was his favorite field OF industry.
Two weeks ago, while suffering from grip
he rode TO the lower farm ON horseback,
distance there arid back OF fourteen
miles. The exertion and exposure caused
pneumonia and death.
Richard was tall, graceful young man,
strongly resembling in features his father.
Richards grave was made beside that OF
his brother Jack The monuments Of the

father whose snow white statue stands
grandly on the pedestal with startling life
