WHAT is A "coLD2'
The Word That Covers q Multitud.
OF Ills Expounded.

The Word That Covers q Multitude
OF Ills Expounded.
Professor Lohnberg, in the Vienna
Clinical Review, on an essay on cold
In the head, says that the Ordinary
cold is no individual complaint. but
only a collective name for Il large num-
Der Of different complaints"
He continues, .sThe attempt to dis
cover a universal remedy against u
cold Is Just as absurd as to search for
a generally .%eficacious remedy for
hadache." The particular complaint
Of which the cold is the symptom
can only be ascertained by careful ex.
animation OF the nasal cavities and
%neighboring parts" Hence sufferers
should be circumspect in the use of
remedies.
The professor says only that which is
true, but Of which the mass Of man.
kind is ignorant. Colds are OF innu-
merable varieties, but the most COM
mon IL is that which is persistently
misunderstood. 1t is attributed to any
thing but the right cause, which is a
microbe.
All its symptoms are those Of q high
II infectious fever. and the public In
stead Of blaming the microbe Of infec-
ton and striving to kill it will persist
In denouncing drafts, wet feet, low
temperature, etc.
They exclude air, the enemy Of the
microbe, from their rooms; they supply
q temperature in which it chr multiply.
and, having become thoroughly inocu-
lated by breathing the germ laden at
mosphere, they find that a cold current
Of mir causes them to shiver. The shiv-
ering of the ordinary mind decides the
question Of ~causation.
1t is significant of every fever that
1t begins with %shivering. and q cold
is no exception.
Cold, wet feet, drafts, ETC., r at
most only accessories. BY putting a
greater strain on the animal economy
they decrease It's resistance to mkro-
bal infection.

Sioux City, Jan. 22.-Sioux City
which has made a success of it's mu-
ricipally owned water works, may at
tempt to own it's telephone exchange
An organization of municipal owner
ship advocates have formed a municipal
league and will take steps to secure
eventual municipal ownership of the
Sioux City telephone business. The app
plication of the Tri-State' Telephone
Company for a Sioux City franchise has
been made the occasion for a new step
on the part of the leaguers. They will
ask that there be incorporated into the
franchise the following amend
"A certain fixed percentage of the
gross earnings of the telephone COM
shall be paid into the city treas
ury each month.
provision shall be made for the pur-
chase of the system by the city at the
of a limited period by the
city paying a fair cash value for the
tangible property Of the company.
.Provision shall be made requiring
the company to connect with all tele-
phone systems outside of Sioux City
which may want to have connection
With Sioux City"
The last provision is made to break
down the monopoly which the lowe
Company exercises in the matter of
toll business. The Iowa Com
pany will not connect with the indie
pendent companies. which in most cases
operate III telephone system in the
mail towns. The result is inconveni-
,nce and extra charges for messenger
service. The people of Sioux City are
o a temper to grant g franchise to al
most any independent company IL the
Independents show the right spirit.

Dangerous things look safe, and safe
things look dangerous. The trouble is
all in the beholder's eye, as the common
expression is. An Englishman was on
a voyage to Spain.
Ships were flying by Of varying
shape, rig and color. One, the English
man noticed. was bearing slowly down
toward him, with her cargo piled on
deck half way up the masts. What
could she he? How could she hope.
laden in this way, to live ont the faint
est suspicion of a gale?
The English traveller was consider
ably exercised about her. Something
surely ought to be done to make such
rascally "deck loading" illegal and fm.
possible. He scanned the vessel With
his glass. The breeze was light, but
she rode %buoyantly. At last q sailor
cleared up the mystery.
"Why, sir" he said bluntly. .'she's
only a coaster loaded with cork.

A HEROIC TRlC.,
Travis, Crockett and Bowie ana {
Neglected American Epic.

Travis, Crockett and Bowie ana .
Neglected American Epic.
The late Frank Norris In an article
in Worlds Work says that the Ameri-
can epic, which on the shelves Of pos
terity should have stood shoulder to
shoulder with the "Hemskringla" and
the Tales Of the NibelurSen' and the
"Song of Roland" will never be writ
ten because the Hector of an ignored
"Iliad" has been forgotten. Zone Of the
requirements Of an epic-a true epic-is
that its action must deyolye upon some
great national event. There was no
lack of such i'll those fierce years after
forty-nine. just that long and terrible
Journey from the Mississippi to the
ocean is an epic in itself. Yet no seri-
GUS attempt has ever been made by IN
American author to render into prose
or verse this event in our history as
national in scope, in origin and In
results as the Revolution itself. The
prairie schooner is as large a figure in
the legends as the black ship that bore
Ulysses honeward from Troy. The
sea meant as much to the Argonauts OF
the fifties as it did to the ten thousand.
And the Alamo! There is a trumpet
call in the word, and only the look Of
1t on the printed page is d flash Of fire,
but the very histories slight the deed,
and to many an American born under
the same flag that the Mexican rifles
shot to ribbons on that splendid day
the word is meaningless. Yet Their
mopyln was less glorious, and in COM
parison with that siege the investment
OF Troy was mere wanton riot. At the
very least the Texans in that battered
adobe church fought for the honor Of
their flag and the greater glory OF their
country, not for loot or the possession
OF the person Of an adulteress. Young
men are taught to consider the "Iliad,"
with its butcheries, its glorification OF
inordinate %seltishness and vanity, as q
classic. Achilles-murderer, egotist, ruff
fan and liar-is a hero. But the name
of Bowie, the name Of the man who
gave his life to his flag at the Ala
mo, is perpeluated only in the des-
ignation of a knife. Crockett is the
hero only of a funny story about q sa-
gacious coon, while Travis, b boy
commander who did what Gordon with
an empire back OF him failed to do, is
quietly and definitely ignored. He died
in defense of an ideal, an epic hero, a
legendary figure, formidable, sad. He
died facing down injustice, dishonesty
and crime; died in his boots and the
same world that has glorified Achilles
and frgotten Travis finds none so poor
to do him reverence"

Wednesday We're 1896. over100 more than
arrived the same day last week. Total
for the first three days shows an in
crease of $40 over last week. This
heavy increase is having a weakening
effect on market conditions. While
trade was fairly active today, the
large number OF offerings made buyers
,bearish and limit on bidding in many
instances was fully So lower than prices
Mt Mondays opening. But on farm
stock the demand seems to be in
creasing and prices are fairly steady.
More buyers are in attendance. There
is a fair demand for prime heavy
horses. and prices have rallied some
from last weeks slump. A number of
orders are being executed for north
ern shipment at prices ranging from
$l35 to $3.50. Heavy drafters of good
to choice quality are unchanged, but
medium kinds are in weaker tone.

Starving Cattle Ticks.

A bulletin of the Mississippi Station
says: The longest time that we have
been able to keep them alive Is about
three months. Prof. Morgan succeed
ed in keeping them without food from
September 14th, 1897, until January
Goth, 1898, about four and one-half
months, and during warmer weather
about two months-from July goth to
September 18th. DR.. Schroeder. OF the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington, collected number of female
ticks February Sd, 1897. Eggs from
these had Matched by March 18th, and
many of the seed ticks remained alive
until July 21st-four months and ten
days-when they were placed upon a
COW. A number of these were ma
tured by August 18th, when they were
collected. We thus see that these
ticks remained alive more than five
months. If we suppose that tick eggs
can retain their vitality five and one
half months and the seed ticks live
five and one-half months without food
before dying. we see that eleven Gid
months would be the maximum time
that pasture could remain infested
after removing all cattle. In this esti-
mate, however, we make no allowance
for their chances Of being killed by
cold, sunlight and heavy rains.
