YELLOW FEVER IN 1893.
Observation-Disclosures

In these days of advanced hygie
mic science, when an outbreak of yell
low fever, such as the present one in
Louisiana, is limited to compare
lively small area, the people of this
country can form little idea of q
panic such as that which swept over
the country during the epidemic of
1893. Nobody now thinks of Wash
ingtOn and Philadelphia as being in
the least danger, yet in that year the
yellow fever in this latter city alone
carried off almost 5000 people.
The most interesting circumstance
in connection with this epidemic
concerned the national government,
which was then seated in Philadel-
phia. President Washington had
his residence in the very heart of the
city, one block from the historic
State House, at Sixth and Chestnut
streets, and when it was seen that
the plague was dangerously near the
government offices he was urged to
remove to some safer spot, but he
refused, and it was only when great
pressure had been brought to bear
that he agreed to leave the town.
He chose Germantown, now only
a few minutes distant, as his new
home. There he took quarters in
building known as the Morris house,
which, though built in l772, is still
standing, at the good old age of l34
years. The present owner is Ellis
ton Morris, II direct descendant of
those Morrises who helped for $50
years to make the history of Phila-
delphia.
The plague continued in the city.
Corpses lay for days uncared for in
the houses where they had fallen.
Neghbors looked with distrust upon
ueighbors; men dared not step out
upon the street without yelling their
faces and holding handkerchiefs,
stepped in vinegar, at their noses.
One-siXth of the population was
carried away; but the hour was not
without it's men. Chief among these
were Dr. Benjamin Rush and Steph- /
en- Girard, a shipowner and mer- .
chant, who was then counted the
richest man in the United States.
One day when the plague was at its
hight MIR. Girard found boy lyingl
sick in the street Picking him upl
in his arms, he strode with his bur-
den down the middle of the thor
oughfare, the people flying from him
on either side. Arriving at the hos-i
pital, Mr.. Girard set to work him-i
self as nurse and soon gathered a
devoted band of followers. Gradual-l
ly he assumed control of the cam
paign against the disease, which he
at last suppressed.
Ably seconding him was DR.. Rush,
one of the few physicians who re-
manned in the city. His labors were
so incessant that several times he
broke down, but still he persevered.
His text book on yellow fever was
perhaps the first book on this subject,
and remains today, despite the pro-
gress that has been made in theI
science of medicine, one of the stand
ard works on that subject.

WearinS GIasSeC.

When a man or woman of normal
eyesight reaches the age of 45 it is
generally agreed among oculists that
they need the assistance of glasses
These can be obtained of local deal
ers Just as we'll as through u travel
ing specialist who may or may not
be all that he claims in his adverti-
sing matter. 1t is only where there
is something peculiar about the Wis
ion, where the sight of one eye is
different from that of the other, that
the aid of specialist is required
Even then great care should be OBJ
served about the selection of your
specialist. He should be an occulist
and not a quack. w. S. Fry, the
leading jeweler of Palatka, has u
fine line of spectacles and nose glass
es and is prepared to adjust pair to
your vision when you need them.
There is great deal of needless
alarm about the treatment of failing
vision. Glasses are now made scien-
tifically and in such varieties that
almost any condition of falling sight
oan be helped.

Eleetricitr In Plants.

Electric currents in plants are due,
says Kunckel, to the movements of
water in the tissues, and not to differ
ences of potential, existing independ-
emily. 1t was considered probable that
vegetable electricity was due to biolog-
lcal processes, especially respiration
and the consequent chemical changes.
In experimenting with leaves and flow
ers dieotyledons and on large mush-
room in an atmosphere of hydrogen it
was found that the electric current was
diminished, but never quite suppressed,
owing probably to lntramolecular res
piratlon. The electric current revives
on air being readmitted.

A SERMON FROM THE PEOPLE.

EDITOR Argus;-IIistory teaches us that
from time immemorial man has had to pass
through an age of evolution. That OF
throwing off the shackles of-bondage and
gaining personal and physical freedom. In
the different ages this bondage has been
known by various names. In some as serf-
DOM, feudalism and slavery This in any
OF its stages is very abJect state and one
which has always been ultimately abolished
with much bloodShed and all the honors
accompanying war. But withal the prize is
we'll worth the price. Still as bad as this
state Of conditions has been or can he depict
ed 1t does not compare to intellectual slavery
the grossest bondage of any age And will
be gainsaid in stating that this state of affair
exists today True it is gradually passing
away and like all other evils the people see
and feel they rise in majesty of their might
and swat ii death blow.
The intellectual slave is the man who
allows another to do his thinking for him.
lie who blndly follows a leader who formu-
!ates subtle and sophisticated reasons for
acting thus and so whereby iheir,orIginalor
may derive benefit. 1t is he who permits
the Boss and Ring Ruler to tell him what he
mus, do and with fear and trembling follows
the edict ground out oy the Machine whereby
he votes against that which is for the vel
fare of the masses. This is the intellectual
slave and he is in more abject condition
than he who is deprived of only his physical
liberty. This is due to The fact that he is
not only deprived of the noblest of his God
given faculiies-his MINDFUL 10y his actions
brings on also moral wrongs by electiug
GrafIers and unprincipled politicians to posi-
lions Of trust and confidence, whereby they
may wax fat at the public expense.
In our late elections of Ohio Pepnsyl-
vauia, New York and Maryland, there we're
thousands of voters who dared be men and
did their own thinking and backed the
thought with the ballot, thus pronouncing
doom unto the intellectual slave masters
So also here men of Preston do your own
thinking Bury these Bosses in a practical
grave so deep that thoy may never be res.

went to the place where used to roam.
The place l loved so we'll;
This place was my fathers home,
Where memory loves to dwell
When went within the lot
Where enjoyed many happy hours,
There was nothing there to mark the spot
Where once gathered fragrant flowers.
The large oak trees that stood so tall.
That had stood there for many day.
And the house with It's heavy walls.
They we're all taken away
The foundation rocks were all taken away.
There was nothing there TO be seen;
Everything around seemed to say
Nothing left but the grass so green
The many acres OF farming land
That my father used to pillow.
Is titled by strangers hands
Aud owned by strangers now
While everything seemed so lonely and still
AS stood wondering what could see;
cast my eye 10 that beautiful hill
That hill that was so dear unto me.
went to the spring where used to drink
Where the water flowed so free
Something caused me to stop and think,
To look for the old haw tree.
And there 1t stood, so fresh and green,
My mothers favorite tree:
Covered with fruit, as | had often seen.
That was so sweet to me.
When gathering fruit from the highest limb
would hear my mothers CALL
When out on the branches so high and slim.
BE careful, or you'll fall"
Now comes to mind my mothers last words
The dearest wotu- that are given:
The last from her lips that heard.
Were. Henry, meet me in Heaven"
These sad recollecuons come to our mind
Things that so long have passed:
We think of our friends that we're so kind
And hope to meet them in heaven at last.

Council Bluffs, Oct. 1.-The recent
heavy rains and windstorms are going
to cost the farmers of Pottawattamie
county cents bushel on corn. Here
tofore the prevailing price for husk-
ing corn in this county has been 8
cents bushel, but the edict has gone
forth from the huskers that this sea
son it will have to be cents bush
ell. This raise in price of husking is
due to the fact that much of the corn
was blown down during the recent
heavy storms and huskers will be able
to husk Only about half as much as
when the corn is in good condition
and standing straight in the fields.
