There is no rigor prop erly to be thus designated, but rather a series of lisrht chills and a feelinar of heat therewith. With the first access of the nasal irritation comes the dull ness, which is followed by some fever- ishness, with more pronounced malaise, and, in general, the headache, weakness and soreness of the members, especially of the larger joints.

With the progress of the case in some epi demics there is considerable sreneral weakness, even marked depression of the vital powers. The pulse becomes small and weak, the mind gloomy, and restlessness ensues. When a fatal termination is to occur, as a rule, an extension downward in the trachea and bronchial tubes takes place. Although catarrhal and croupous pneumonia are said to be "complications," they should be regarded as occassional conditions, and when present are, properly speaking, constituted parts of the malady.

La grippe, or some- iU, officials, police, fireman, and citizens, rich and poor, are numbered among its victims.

On the streets day" and 4'how are you?" have given way to "have you got the grippe as a salu-! tation. Affirmative answers are plentiful. The symptoms of the malady in Brooklyn, as described by many of the sufferers, are in some cases fever, in others chills; some have headache, pains in the chest and lungs, and a general feeling- of lassitude and debility.

The attack varies in severity and continues from one to ten days. 'Fully as many perfectly sound and robust people succumb to it as of those whoso generally enfeebled condition might be thought to predispose them to any ailment that had reached an epidemic stage. It has created havoc in the ranks of the local states-. men. President McCarty of the board of alderman is convalescing from an attack and expects to be ready for busi-.

Be it old-fashioned cold, influenza, 'la grippe," incipient pneumonia, congestion of the lungs, bronchitis, or whatever else, the trouble has taken a tight grip on the police force. This will be readily understood when it is officially stated that there are seventy-five policemen now laid up suffering- like common mortals from the malevolent, though seemingly fashionable, ailment of the day. But that number does not include all the policemen who are afflicted.

The number of deaths in the city from all causes Christmas day was 318. For several years the regular average has been 200 for that day. Fully one-third of the populace is prostrated with the disease. The editor of the Moniteur TJniversel and three soldiers died in Versailles hospital to-day. Vienna.

The hospitals in this city are crowded witn patients sulrering from influenza, accompanied by inflammation of the lungs, pleurisy, and peri tonitis. There are over 100 cases of in fluenza in Prague. There have been several deaths here from diseases that began with influenza. Lisbon. The number of cases of in fluenza in this city and Oporto is in creasing.

Two thousand people have the influenza, including the queen and Senhor Gomes, the foreign minister. Berlin. For some days past there have been a few sporadic cases of influ enza at Konigsberg-, but the disease has now become epidemic and some of the cases are oi tne most serious nature. The influenza is increasing throughout Germany. It has crippled operations in the shipbuilding yards in Flensburg, Kiel, and Dantzic.

In cases where the disease is slighted or not treated it engenders pulmonary disorders. The doctors say that the climax is passed in this city and that the disease is on the wane.

The influenza is still rag ing in Boston, though the physicians think the crisis has been passed.

The decided change in the weather fwfltn moist and warm to cold confirms them in this opinion. Tho disease, however, has done its work here and done it thor oughly, no part of the city having es- caped. City Physician McCollom says ii tiu tiiei itro zkj.uuu rases ui liiu wiji- demic in Boston. Said he: "I haVe a "i rrf had but one new case in the cityjaii today, which would seem "to indicate that the influenza is abating, but it may be that it has only exhausted itself in my limited field of observation. When the influenza goes it will go as suddenly as it came, but no one can tell when it will go." Dr.

Durgan, chairman of the board of health, says that it is not at all improbable that 10 per cent, of the residents of Boston have been afflicted by the epidemic. The disease in itself is not fatal. Most of the cases which have- come under Dr. Durgan's notice have been severe, lasting from two to four days, and when the fever disap peared the patients were left oftentimes with troublesome coughs. In the su- i burbs the disease has a strong hold.

Mayor Chaplin of Chelsea and Mayor Burr of Newton are both on the sick list. In Cambridge many of the clerks at the city hall and the postoffice are unable to be at their desks, and at the house of correction in Cambridge 138 of the 550 prisoners are sick. Sixty prisoners in the Salem jail are confined to their bunks. The doctors estimate that there are a thousand cases of influenza in Maiden.

There are altogether about two dozen cases of the genuine article on record. At Blockley almshouse and hospital nearly all the women nurses are prostrated by the malady. So far as can be learned it was here that the disease first made its appearance in this city, and as it was not recognized as grippe" until its worst symptoms had appeared it had ample time to establish itself in the institution.

The case of Miss Sadie Scott may be cited as a representative one. This young girl was attacked about four weeks ago by what she thought a severe cold in the head. The disagreeable svmptoms continued for several days and then came a severe pain be ginning in the back of the neck and ex- tendinsr down the spine. This was fol lowed by a headache, dryness of the tongue and lips, and alternating periods of chills and fever. Physicians went at the disease with clinched teeth and plenty of quinine and whisky, but in the meantime four others had become afflicted.

The doctors worked on, however, and now the disease has succumbed, and without the use, so far as can be learned, of any but the commonplace remedies for colds quinine and whisky. During the period of convalescence the symptoms Were much like thoe of malaria. Outside of Blockley the cases are is dated.

407 NORTH MAIN ST. Kansas City is a remarkable town. Its people are a wonderful people. Everybody puts a shoulder to the wheel and it moves. In some towns three-quarters of the inhabitants hang- to the wheel and leave the remaining weak quarter to push, that's why they are so slow.

About everybody here pushes. The part of the pushing-The Store does is to keep down high prices and keep up good qualities. Although The Store now occupies nearly one hundred thousand square feet of floor room, yet you often complain on account of the crowded condition. Now, take it on the other hand. Suppose you were to go into a store to buy a blanket; not a customer in sight beside your lone self; every clerk standing idly by; not a blanket on the counter to mar its neat appearance; every pair folded neatly on the shelves, in a sort of way that seems to say, "we've come to stay; our prices are on stilts and can't be touched except with a very full purse." We believe you would do as many others have done, come straight back to the crowded store.

Cool, crisp, bright and sunny, activity everywhere. "The great energies of nature are known to us only by their effects." The sun has smiled upon the soil, and now a mammoth harvest is sure. The Kansas wheat yield will foot up over THIRTY-SIX MILLION bushels and the corn will aggregate more than two hundred and seventy-five million bushels! Farmers will wear a broad smile this fall. Agriculturists, manufacturers and merchants will all join hands in congratulations. The honest sons of the soil set the ball rolling, and then the rest of mankind keep it going.

The Store is fortunately situated in the gateway between the east and the west. Our aim is to serve you better all the time. You know that here you meet truth with trust. i Words alone are not the attractions; the witnesses are here, in this Mammoth Stock of Dry Goods. The simple fact that we sell more dry goods than any retail house between Chicago and the Pacific coast is enough to convince you of what we are doing.

The provisions of the act continue in force until the legislative assembly that shall meet under the territorial government, which may be established by congress over Oklahoma make provision for the execution of such trusts and for townsite entries, provided that all cases then pending shall be disposed of under the provisions of this act.

Cooper, the celebrated tragedian, she, of her own accord, offered to assist him, and for three years was a brilliant star in the histrionic world.
