"About two months ago was taken

La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, variety Of acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe it is
not very fatal disease but the condition
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death of countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
la grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged by the per,
nicious effects of this disease. The major
ity of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them of all the bad effects which la
grippe has brought upon them, what an un-
told amount of suffering could be averted
Thousands have already heard how quick
ly this remedy will cure in these cases and
have been saved; but tens of thousands have

A FITTING REBUKE.
by "A Heroic Messenger
hoy to a COwardly and
StinEy Man.

There was trifling fire in west side
street the other day which caused good
deal of excitement and incidentally gave a
fat man a lesson in courtesy. The fire
started in the apartments where the man
and his mother lived. The man started
about the time the fire did and got down
four flights of stairs to the street before his
mother knew what was up. When she dis
covered the fire she promptly tainted, says
the New York Mail and Express.
Meanwhile the fat man stood in the street
yelling: Save my mother! Save my
mother!" A messenger boy who was pass
ing stopped, saw the smoke, ran up the
stairs, aroused the woman and brought her
out in safety. The neighbors cheered and
the fat man looked uncomfortable.
Here. boy" he whispered. Here's
quarter for you"
The boys face expressed his disgust.
cav, save it," he said, "and buy yourself
some nerve food
The crowd laughed, the fat man blushed
and the boy went whistling down the
street. He didn't know that he had been a
hero, and the fat man felt himself coward.

bull broke out of the corral and start
ed through the grounds. Several ex-
pert cowboys tried to lasso him. but
could not do so, and a cowboy known
as Club" Baker was thrown from his
horse and seriously hurt. Just then
another cowboy, Wyatt Jordan, gal
loped up, and, jumping from his horse,
seized the bull by the horns and forced
him into nearby corral.

REPUBLICANS WILL RULE.
The Democracy of the Northern and
Western states Make Pitiful
Showing.

1t is figured that the republica ms
will have a majority in the next sem
ate which will be almost two-thrds
of that chamber. This is more of a
reponderance than the republica n
looked for, and more than many of
them desire. 1t is just what might
haSa been expected, however, from
the vices and lunacies of the demo-
Gratis in the past few years. Bryan
ism is responsible for the disasters
which have come to the democracy
The disasters were worse in Bryan's
second canvass than they were in his
first one. They will be still worse in
his third campaign if the plans of his
supporters to give him another nomi-
nation are carried out.
Not since the middle of Grants serv-
ice as president has there been such
an eXtirpation of the democracy in
the senate as has taken place in the
past few years. After the withdrawal
of the II states which constituted the
confederacy the republicans had a
two-thirds majority in the senate for
years. and part of the time they had
a three-fourths vote. But abnormal
conditions prevailed at that time.
The absence of the II states and the
% senators from the democratic sec
ton of the country naturally put that
party far down in the scale. For
years the democratic vote in the sem
ate varied from nine to eleven. while
the republican roll in that time
ranged from Sc to 5S.
In the present situation all the
states are represented. There is a
democratic party in the entire 45
states, but in most of them it has
become so weak that it has not the
slightest influence in the elections.
or even in determining the sort of
candidates which the republicans
put up. The republican, as
cendancy is so great in the larger
part of the country that the party
never takes the democracy into the
account. There is scarcely democrat
in the senate from any of the great
tier of states of the north and west.
Outside of the states in which slavery
existed in 1860 the democratic party
has no standing, and in some of those
states. like Delaware, Maryland and
West Virginia, the republicans are far
in the lead. Nor is this the worst
that can be said for the democracy in
this connection. Not only are the
democrats in the present day reduced
to the low estate in the senate in
point of mem bership which they had
in 1S61-73, but they lack the leaders,
the Bayards. Hendrickses, Saulsburys,
Thurmans. Johnsons, Davises. Bucka-
Jews and others-who gave the demo-
Gratis a dignity and a strength which
went far toward compensating them
for their comparative diminutiveness
in numbers. At the present time the
democrats in the senate are as feeble
in character as they are in number.
They are not strong enough to form
that powerful opposition which is nee
essary in a popular government even
for the well-being of the dominant
party. Never before since the de-
mocracy was founded by Jefferson
little over a century ago has that
party been as feeble and as contempti-
BILE in the northern and western states
as it is at this moment.-St. Louis
