EPIDEMIC OF GRIP IS
SWEEPING COUNTRY
Tens of Thousands of Cases of This
Pestiferous Disease Are Being
Reported.
SUFFERERS IN MANY CITIES.
Business in Many Places Is Disor-
ganized on Account Prostrations
from This Ailment.

An epidemic of la grippe seems to be
sweeping over the country, and tens of
thousands of people are suffering from
the disease. Pittsburg reports the worst
visitation in its history. The business
of the city is disorganized on account
of the large number of people who have
been suddenly forced to remain absent
from their places of employment.
Factories and mills, offices and stores,
are affected seriously.
There is a notable uniformity in the
symptoms of the present epidemic,
which appears to affect principally the
bronchial passages. Bronchitis and
pneumonia are its most common accom-
paniments, and it aggravates fully 80
per cent of the tuberculosis cases. Those
most injuriously affected are persons
who before the attack were badly run
down in their general health. In their
cases pneumonia quickly develops,
while the heart, brain and other or
gans become affected.
In Philadelphia an epidemic of grippe
is sweeping the city and whole fami-
lies are Frustrated by ii. Pneumonia in
many cases is followed close upon its
heels, and last week many persons died
Of that disease. Doctors are scarcely
able to keep up with the demands made
upon them. Baltimore, too. is expert
encing an unusual amount of sickness.
Other cities where grippe has made
its appearance are Boston, Chicago, Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Milwaukee
and New York, and reports from these
places indicate that the health authori-
ties fear that the outbreak is only at
the beginning Health Commissioner
Evans, of Chicago, has issued a warn
ing to the people, urging them to get
plenty of fresh air and TO exercise in
the open as much as possible. Chicago
knows the danger of grippe. for it has
been frequently visited by the disease.
In 1890 that city had 100000 grippe suf-
ferers and 112 deaths directly resulted.
In 1899 over 800 persons died from the
disease, and since the first appearance
of the malady the city has paid a
tribute of 2,20S lives.
In New York. where the disease is
BOW gaining a strong foothold, sixty
eight deaths resulted last week and
there are many cases scattered about
the city.
Boston is the worst sufferer on the
Atlantic seaboard. There are nearly
100000 cases there and sixty deaths
have resulted. Cincinnati has 1900
cases and the disease seems TO be cpl
demic in form.
The open winter is held responsible
for the spread of the disease. Where il
originated no one seems 10 know. II
travels with wonderful rapidity. In
1889, when the grippe appeared in viru-
lent form all over the country, ii was
tracked back TO Europe and thence tC
Hong Kong in China. The germs OF
the present epidemic may have come
from the same source.

MINERS ENTOMBED FOR WEEKS.
Three Men Buried a Thousand Feet
Underground in Nevada.

One morning early in December a
sudden crash of timbers. n mutiied
clatter of rock and cloud of dust told
the engineer of the Alpha mine. near
Ely, New, that the five men he had
just sent down in the cage were buried.
He gave the alarm and a thousand
men. eager to be of service, gathered
about the shaft. Supt. Gallagher care
fully picked the men he wanted, noti-
fled others that he might call upon
them later and ut once began efforts to
communicate with the entombed men,
hoping some might have escaped death.
Before nightfall lie learned that two
Greeks were caught in the cave-in and
buried alive, but that the three Ameri
cans. Bradley, Brown and Mcdonald,
were in no immediate Danger. A six
inch pipe runs from the mouth of the
shaft to the bottom and by removing
the cap from its base the imprisoned
men managed to talk with Gallagher
They told him they had a little food
and water enough for two or three
days.
With rubber devices Gallagher passed
food and liquids down the pipe and
was soon able to supply the men. He
st'irted drift toward them and ut
first it seemed probable that he would
zach tHem in a week. Before that
time the unforeseen happened and the
rescuers were compelled to make new
plans 1t was then announced that ten
days would be sufficient TO get to the
miners. but fresh accidents beyond the
pale of prevention delayed the work
ers. Now Gallagher declines to make
predictions and simply says that he
will continue his effort as long as he
has strength to direct it. The men
can be saved, he declares, and he will
save them.
The entombed miners spend their
long days far more cheerfully than
might be expected in such circum-
stances. To safeguard them in case
the rescue party is delayed Supt. Gal
lagher has supplied them with enough
provisions To last three weeks. They
receive cooked food, eggs, milk, and
tobacco by means of siX-inch pipe
running down the shaft. They have
connected the mine telephone with an
electric cable. and are able to talk daily
with their families and friends. They
are we'll supplied with news. and have
shown much interest In the Goldfield
crisis. They have plenty of light and
room to move about, so that if they
can endure the long delay they can
wait for rescue with confidence and
comparative comfor'.

Wealth Producer in Glenn Pool.
Nothing in the history of oil discov

record of the Glenn pool. near Tulsa,
|. II. There are in operation LIS
wells, which produce daily average
of 167,7OO barrels, and in sixteen
months have sent to market 100000
barrels. Land which in December,
1905, was worth 500 per acre now
brings $500 per acre. Three good
reflex prosperity of the pools. Glenn
pool is one of the wonders of the world
to men in the business of petroleum,
and men have come from all over the
the most productive pool in the world,
but it is the largest in area. Up to
this time the proven territory covers
some 1900 acres. Rigs are still going
up, and whenever the people in the
business think they have the lines pref
ty well defined along comes a well
away off from production, which ex-
tends the limits of the pool by from
one TO three miles. So nobody knows
anything about the limits of the pool
except that up to this time 1900 acres
have been proven up.
Millions of dollars have been spent
in the development of the pool and
millions of dollars have been made out
of it. The pipe lines and the equip
ment run into money as rapidly as wa
ter runs down hill. 1t costs $1,000 tc
drill and equip a well. Then it costs
something for the lease and something
for the tankage. To drill and equip
each SO-acre lease takes close to $780,
coo i'm real money. But the pool gives
it all back again. A real good well will
pay for itself in five or ten days
