It is about time to inaugurate the annual ‘‘mad-dog” scare. Last year, St. Paul and other cities throughout the state had “scares,” and nearly every vil- lage of any pretention in the state followed suit. In summer time ¢very dog that snaps and snarls is “mad.” Humans may be out of temper or ill and because they can voice their complaint in words we un !|derstand, but the dumb animal is harried through the streets and subjected to tortures that would shame a Comanche—and all because, like “fire,” the cry of “mad dog” drives man into a blind, unreasoning panic of senseless fear. Generally it is not the dog but his pursuers who are “mad.” Nor does the panic end with the dog’s life. Whole neighbor- hoods are terror-stricken and the victim of the animal’s teeth so terrified by his own imagination and the forebodings of friends that delirium and death are but the natural result. And yet many physicians say that in years of investigation they never have seen a true case of hydro- phobia in a human being. A pamphlet, “The Aunnual Mad-Dog Scare,” has just been issucd by the Women'’s Pennsyl- vania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which, were it generally read and und- erstood, would save many men as well as dogs from torture and death. Itisa plea against the cry of “mad dog,” especially in the sensational newspapers. To support the contention that the dog afflicted with hydrophobia is seldom found, the statements of prominent physicians are quoted. ‘“‘Many medical men,” states the pamphlet, ‘‘are of the opinion that if hydrophobia develops into human beings at all, it is on ex- tremely vare occasions; that the condition of hysterical excite- ment in man described by news- papers as ‘hydrophobia’ is mere- ly a series of symptoms, due usually toa dread of the disease, such dread bejng caused by realistic newspaper and other reports acting upon the imagi nations of persons scratched or bitten by animals suspected of rabies.” An extreme position, perhaps, and one that may be controverted by other physicians; but this statement, at least, can be made with safety: that not one-tenth of the “mad dogs” are afflicted with the rabies. Some effort, then, should be made to stop the “mad-dog” scares that are of almort daily occurrence during the summer. They cause untold and needless suffering and death. For the sake of human beings if not pity for the dogs, this ‘“‘madness” should be out- grown. The Cuban version of the fight between police and American sailors at Santiago appears to be that the bluejackets had been do- ing some more “bottling up” in the port which made Hobson famous. Destructive Storm in lowa. Council Bluffs, Ia.,, May 23.—Light- ning played queer freaks in Western Iowa. At Loveland a church, two stores and one residence were burned by four different strokes of lightning, At Hastings C. H. Baxter’s house was struck and burned. At Moorhead three different strokes burned three houses. At Plummer settlement a house and barn were destroyed. Robbery Object of Murder. Portland, Mich.,, May 23.—Edward Manning, aged sixty years, proprietor of a restaurant here, was murdéred while on his way home from his es- tablishment. He was shot in the back. Robbery was evidently the mo- tive of the crime, as a large sack ot silver that he usually -carried was wmissing. Offered Railroad Presidency. ‘Washington, May 23.—John F. Ste- vens, former chief engineer of the Panama canal, has been offered the vresidency of the Northern Pacific railroad. He has not decided whether or not he will take it. At present Mr. Stevens is making an appraisement of the physical value of the New Yor;(, New Haven and Hartford rail- road. WORK OF WRECKERS Southern Pacific Flyer Ditched Near Los Angeles, Cal. ONE DEAD; A SCORE INJURED Rails Are Disconnected on a Trestle, Several Coaches Plunging Over the Embankment, Being Badly Crushed and Splintered by the Fall. Los Angeles, Cal, May 23.—Train No. 20, one of the Southern Pacific coast line flyers, was wrecked at West Glendale, ten miles north of here, at 12:30 a. m. The wreck was the de- liberate work of train wreckers. One man was killed and twenty-two per- sons injured, three probably fatally. In accomplishing the wreck of the train a devilish ingenuity had been exercised. At a point on a trestle over the Arroyo Seco the fishplates and Dbolts of two connecting ralls on the southbound track had been re- moved and in the apertures whence the bolts were taken strands of heavy wire were fastened at the end of each rail. From the appearance of the track after the wreck it was evident that some person hidden on a hill- side close to the trestle had pulled the wire as the train approached and spread the rails outward toward the edge of the trestle. The train, three hours late, was traveling at a rate of between thirty- filve and forty miles an hour. The eugine wheels were first to leave the rails and the engine took to the ties, traveling nearly 100 yards before it was brought to a standstill. The ten- der, the diner, two Pullmans, the buf- fet, mail and baggage car plunged over the edge of the trestle, falling a distance of sixteen feet. The buffet car, the express car and one of the Pullmans were turned completely up- gide down and the others landed on their sides. All were badly crushed and splintered. The man killed was T. J. McMahon of Banta Barbara, a member of the Electrical Workers’ union, He is be- lieved to have been stealing a ride on the baggage car and had as his com- panion Frank Naylor, a fifteen-year- old boy from Santa Barbara, who was fatally injured. At the Southern Pacific general offices in this city notices were post- ed offering $10,000 for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the wreck. The offi- cials announced that they had no clue ‘whatever. ENDS IN SIX DEATHS. Effort to Lynch Negro for Attempted Assault. Reidsville, Ga.,, May 23.—Two ne- groes lynched, four other persons shot dead and six others injured is the net result of an attempted assault made on Mrs. Laura Moore, white, a widow, by Flem Padget, a negro. News of the attempted assault aroused the citizens, who immediately went to the home of the negro’s father. As they approached the house Flem Padget fired on the crowd, killing a white man named Hare and wounding four others. The crowd fired a volley into the house, killing the old negro, Padget, and two of Lis daughters and wounding two of his sons, one of whom was Flem Padget, the man wanted, but who escaped. After the cooler heads had left the scene of the killing the hot headed element employed a young man to take Padget’s wife and one of the Padget boys, who was shot through the lungs, to Reidsville jail, but the party followed, took the prisoners from the young man and riddled them with buckshot. Those involved in the affair are in- fluential citizens. Further trouble is feared. POST CUTS CAR IN TWO. Fifty Persons Injured, Three Possibly - Fatally. New York, May 23.—Of the fifty persons injured in the traction smash- up near Coney. Island three are pos- | sibly fatally hurt. They are Harry Donne, G. W. McFadden and Frank Putrieno. An “L” train bound for New York struck a trolley car, forcing it against a steel post on which trolley wires are suspended and the post cut through the car like a knife. The passengers were overwhelmed in the wreckage and firemen who were called had to use axes in cutting away the shattered woodwork te release the injured. A flagman is blamed for the col- lision, both motormen claiming that he had signalled to them the right of way. One Hundred Shots Fired. Cleveland, May 23.—Striking ship- builders patrolling the river had a skirmish with guards. It is said more than 100 shots were fired. The strik- ers were lined along the railroad tracks waiting for the return of a launch with the guards who had been down the river. So far as learned no one ‘was hurt. Hargis Case Goes to Jury. Lexington, Ky.,, May 23.—The case of Judge James Hargis, charged with the assassination of James Cockrill in | Breathitt county, has been given to the jury. Men and women crowded the courtroom during the final hours of the trial and the excitement was intense. Three Thousand Machinists Out. Lowell, Mass., May 22.—A strike of 8,000 machinists employed at the Kit- son machine shops in this city has been declared. The men demand a 10 per cent increase in wages and a re- adjustment of a “bounty” schedule which prevails at tlie plant. Hummel Too Iil to Leave.Cell. New York, May 22.—Abraham H. Hummel, the lawyer who was com- mitted to the penitentiary on Black- wells island Monday to serve a year’s sentence for conspiracy, is too ill to leave his cell. % IN THE SPRINGTIME.

New York, May 23.—One hundred negroes who were engaged to take the places made vacant by striking long- shoremen at the Atlantic docks in Brooklyn were attacked by about an equal number of strikers or strike sympathizers, including a number of Italians, when the strikebreakers re ported for work in a body. The strikers at first attempted to persuade the negroes to keep off the docks, but in the argument that ensued some of the members of the opposing forces became involved in a fight which quickly included the whole number of both sides. During the fist fighting which followed one o6f the negroes fired his revolver without injury to the strikers. The police dispersed the rloters and arrested the negro who did the shooting. SURROUNDED BY TROOPS. Guatema_lans Suspected of Attack on President Suicide. ‘Washington, May 23.—A dispatch received by Senor Herrera, the min- ister from Guatemala, reports that four of the men who attempted to take the life of President Cabrera on April- 29 ‘had committed suicide. Be- cause of the nature of their crime they had been refused shelter by any one, the dispatch says. Finaily they took refuge in a hut, their presence became known to the authorities and soldlers surrounded it. The men fired from within, killing a major and wounding a colonel and another offi- cer. The soldiers, however, were too much for the men and, finally, seeing there was no hope of escape, they killed themselves. REACH BUTTE BY JAN. 1. Milwaukee Road to Push Work on Coast Extension.

Cooper’s New Discovery has taught me many things. Not least of which is that parasites or tape worms as they arecalled are responsible for an immense amount of suffering. Thousands of these creatures havebeenbrought | to me by people who have taken the New Discov- eryandInowknow that an immense amount of sup- posed stomach trouble is caused in reality by one of these parasites, A man or woman may be afflicted in this manner for years and not realize the true cause of their suffering. When I first sold Cooper’s New Discovery I did not know that the medicine would remove this trouble. I have since found that it invariably does so. ‘The following letter is a fair sample of the symptoms as experienced by an individual thus affected: ~ “‘I was always tired. ~ My stomach bloated ande the slightest exertion made me sick, weak and dizzy. My appetite was variable and a good nights sleep was unknown to me. When I awoke in the mornings I had a bad taste in my niouth and a coated tongue. I heard of the wonderful benefits that were being derived from Cooper’s New Discovery, and decided to try it,”’ ““The horrible tape worm, sixty feet long that had been sapping my life NICK EMMERICK. away, ‘passed from my system alive and squirming after I had taken three doses, Now I have a splendid appe- tite, every trace of stomach troubl has disappeared and my digestion is good. I sleep well and am gaining in strength every day.’”’ Nick Emmer- ick, 1344 Louis Ave., Milwaukee, Wis. We are anthorized agents for the Cooper medicines. Call and let us ‘ell you more about them, E.

From a room in the Leahy hotel he Baw two negro soldiers come up the elley from the garrison and fire two or three shots each into the Cowan House. A group of about eight men followed and from that party he saw the flashes and heard the reports of two or three additional shots. As the men passed up the alley he sald he saw shooting from the garrison and that it appeared to come from the balcony of Company B barracks. He claimed to have distinctly seen the flashes of the guns. After the bugle call had sounded at the fort he saw a group of five or six soldiers returning down the alley to the garrison. The witness told also of seeing a company of soldiers patrol the town after the shooting and as they were halted in front of the Leahy hotel he heard one of the negroes at the foot of the com- pany remark that they would come out the next night and finish the town. He said Mrs. Leahy also heard the remark. On several important points Elkins corroborated - the testimony glven by other witnesses. CAR LINES KNOCKED OUT Wreck Switchboard at 8an Francisco. San Francisco, May 23.—All of the Uttited Railroads’ trolley lines north of Market street were put out of com- mission by miscreants who managed by means of a wire or chain to con- nect 2 high power transmission wire with the trolley wire on Church street between Fifteenth streets. The instant effect of divert- ing the 13,200 volts of electrical cur- rent to the trolley wire was a frightful explosion In the Turk and Fillmore sub-stations. The switchboard, which is connect ed with all of the trolley lines oper- ated by the company north of Market street, burned out and the attending electrical display struck consternation and fear to the hearts of hundreds of people in the neighborhood. Miscreants It s remarkable that the trouble| was not attended by loss of life. CURRENT IN FENCE. Montana Rancher Is Electrocuted by Touching Wire.

CONTROL PUBLIC UTILITIES Administration Measure Through New York Legislature. Albany, N. Y., May 23—The senate has passed the so-called public utili- ties biil by a vote of 41 to 6, after the defeat of several amendments pro- posed by Democratic senators. A lit- tle later the assembly voted concur- rence in the measure. This bill is one of Governor Hughes’ | measures. It creates commissions, the members of which shall be ap- pointed by the governor, with power to supervise and regulate the opera- tion of public corporations, both in the city and the state'of New York, with separate bodles for each. In the city of New York the commission su- percedes the old rapid transit com- rhission, appointment to which was by the mayor, and for the reason that in this respect it touches the New York city government it must, before it be- comes a law, be suBmitted for the mayor’s approval. It is anticipated that Mayor McClellan wil] withhold his approval, but as only a majority vote is required to pass a measure over the mayor’s veto and as it is in j all respects an administration bill it cannot fail to become a law.
