demic Of influenza. commonly known
in America as the grippe?"
The obnoxious disease first became
epidemic in Spain a few months ago.
Even King Alfonso fell a victim to it.
Hardly city or town in Spain es-
capped.
Then II spread to Germany. and the
German army became infected. So
widespread was the epidemic in Hun.
land that the delay in resuming the
German drive on the western fron:
has been ascribed TO II.
Now the influenza has spread 10
England, and whole counties are suf-
fering from It. The epidemic has
reached the midlands. schools have
been closed to prevent its further
spread and many mines and factories
are in danger Of shutting down.
II seems likely that the epidemic
will soon assume the proportions Of a
pandemic, as in Spain and Germany.
VIII the disease spread to the Uni.
ted States and cripple that countrys

The present prevalence Of the dis.
ease is the most widespread since the
worldwide epidemic OF 1889. when
every country on the globe was affect

in 1893, 1894 and 1895, but they were
viewed as "reminiscences of the per

Influenza Is extremely In fectious
and is caused by microbe known to
scientists as "Pfeiffer's bacillus" The
fact that 1t has German name is nc

to German plot to make the WHOLE

Unusual Wheat

D. A. Carpenter, one of Winfield dis.
trict's best known farmers, brought a
stock, or cluster, OF wheat 10 town to-
day which is bit out OF the ordinary.
Springing apparently from one grain
OF seed this stock contains eighteen
full grown straws and one shorter
straw, making nineteen in all. Ali
straws have full heads Of grain on
them.
This unusual development was
found about the center of a one acre
patch OF grain which was grown upon
Mr.. Carpenters farm on Burners
Ridge. The seed was broadcasted and
the crop which was harvested this
week appears to be good one.

A Study Of Juries
In Two States

A very interesting legal case with
unique phasese was won BY Con
gresham N. M. Neely in the federal
court in Baltimore Yesterday. II was
a damage suit for $4,000 brought by
the administrator OF Donald p. Davis.
former sheriff OF Mineral county, W.
Va. against Peter Weisengoff, OF
Westernrort. Nd. Elk Sheriff was
killed in an automobile accident
attempting to arrest Weisengoff.
Davis was on the running board Of
the automobile when in crossing a
bridge he was fatally injured and
succumbed. Weisengoff was convic.
ted OF second degree murder and was
sentenced to serve ten years. i'm
prisonment. At IN present there Is
a writ OF error pending in the Sup
rene court OF Appeals.
The interesting part about the case
IS the verdicts Of the juTies. The one
in West Virginia returned verdict
Of guilty while the one in Maryland
