Cattle on the Hoof in Chicago Sell- ! ing at the Highest Figures At- j tained Since 1900?Housewives I Paying Record Prices. Chicago, 111.?-Increase in consumption of meats, attributed by the packers to the recovery from the financial stringency, coupled with small supplies of beef cattle received at the stock yards during the last two weeks and small supplies in the beef coolers of the packers, has led to an advance of from one-half to one and one-half cents a pound for wholesale prices of dressed beef in Chicago. Beeves have been selling on the hoof at the highest price attained since 1906 and the receipts during the last fortnight have been the lightest in nearlv a quarter nf a r>entiirv Receipts for the week amount to only about 32,600 head, compared with 38,028 last week, 43,265 the week before last and 64,716 received in the corresponding week last year. Cattle buyers were compelled to pay advances of fifty cents to sixt.y cents, with a little selling down in values on larger receipts than are usually seen so late in the week. Beef steers sold this week at $5 to $6 for the poorer light weight killers up to $7.50 and $7.75 for the best class of heavy shipping cattle, with sales largely at $6.10 to $7.40. Good cattle brought $7 to $7.45 and medium steers $6.50 to $6.1)5. AMERICAN HOUSEfflVES MAKE BEEF TRUST SHIVER New York City. ? The American housewife is taking her own revenge out of the Beef Trust.

Rabe Was Bitten by Stray Cur Five Months A20. Connnander of Quarantine Tug, New York Harbor, Expired Ignorant of Nature of His Ailment. New York City.?Captain Edward Rabe, thirty-one years old, commander of the Quarantine tug James W Wadsworth. died in the Smith Infirmary. Sta'ten Island, the surgeons declare, of genuine hydrophobia. This conclusion was reached not only be cause of the characteristic symptoms but because the patient was absolute ly ignorant of the nature of the ail ment Mth which he was afflicted. The fatal termination could noi have been hastened either by fright or by auto-suggestion ? causes tha' ?5 ??- -^4 ia s>nc?n r>f WilHaTT were auvaiiucu m cue w. Marsh, the wealthy Brooklyn inven tor, who was informed that he was i victim of rabies and that death wai inevitable. Captain Rabe believed himself t( be suffering from rheumatism anc had forgotten apparently the bite o: a dog five months ago. He never re ferred to it during his Illness and h< was not undeceived as to what he be lieved his condition to be. The case is believed to be unique in this particular aspect, and if th< autopsy reveals the peculiar change! in the texture of the brain cells tha indicate hydrophobia, physicians sa] the question will be settled definitely that canine madness is wholly physi cal and not the result of mental sug gestion. Dr. Charles Pearson, chie of the hospital staff, was convincec two days before the captain's deatl that he had to deal with a case o: rabies so far advanced that deatl was almost certain within twenty four hours. In this prognosis his as sociates and an expert from Phila delphia agreed, but not the slightes' intimation was given either to the sufferer or to his family, ^xcept to in form the wife that her husband wa: a very sick man. Captain Rabe's legs began to swell and he laughingly declared that h( must be getting old and rheumatic Liniments and hot cloths were applied, but the dwelling was not reduced. Then the muscles of Captair Rabe's throat became rigid and he was unable to swallow. Later ir the day he had a violent chill and his right side became numb. The symptoms were those of paralysis. The progress of the malady was rapid after the patient was admitted to the hospital. He became delirious and exhibited the signs of rabies. The rigidity of the muscles of the throat became more pronounced. The hospital staff agreed that the case was beyond hope and that nothing could be done except to relieve the periods of delirious pain with opiates. Captain Rabe died finally of exhaustion, Before confirming his diagnosis Dr, Pearson had made careful inquiry without exciting alarm and discovered that Rabe had been bitten by a stray dog, but that tho wound was so trivial he did not have it cauterized. He found also that about the same time a dog had bitten a horse belonging to T"k ? * ? on/1 1 + c jjr. JJUiy. JLUC UUIOC UICU brain was sent to the laboratory of the Board of Health for examination. The report was that the horse had died of rabies. It is believed that the same dog that bit the man bit the horse. RECEIVER FOR GOULD LINE.

It was decided that a white athletic dress shall be worn by each competitor, the outer seam of the trousers 1 to have a red, white and blue stripe and the chest of the shirt or jersey to be adorned by a national shield of the United States. Each athlete shall wear a blue cap, with a shield on the peak. The team is to sail on the American liner Philadelphia, arriving on the scene of action about ten days before the opening of the games. To finance the trip will mean an expen- i ditur? of about $30,000, and though all of this has not been collected the American committee hopes to have that sum at its disposal when the team heads for Sandy Hook. It will cost $325 to send each of the men to London. Every man of the select seventysix is trained to the hour and will be kept in perfeqt condition until the team sails away.

' BREWERS SCHEME TO STOP i WME OF PROHBITIOS Meet in Milwaukee and Decide to Work For "Clean Saloons." WILL KEEP OUT OF POLITICS .Prohibitionists Send Sarcastic Message of Condolence to Liquor Men ?Dr. Darlington Says Alcohol Causes Heart Disease. Milwaukee, Wis.?In view of the recent activities of the Prohibitionists, the recent outlawing of the traffic in splritous liquors in several Southern States, and the serious injury to It in nearly every quarter of the country, the convention of the United States Brewers' Association, which met here, is regarded as the most important ever held by the or ganization. The brewers, in executive session, formulated plans to meat and stem the tidal wave of prohibition. The attack on the anti-saloon forces will be in the main educational, but will also include efforts at regulation of the saloons by statute, with the idea of taking them out of politics, thereby elevating them so that the-liquor traffic will be recognized as a legitimate, respectable | business, and not as something outside of social and ethical recognition. The keynote of the movement, characterized as one to overset Intolerance and bigotry and to correct misreprentation, was embodied in the address made by Julius Liebmann, president of the association. The situation was also set forth in a report of the Board of Trustees of the , association. > Mr. Liebmann said: "It is of th? utmost importance that the saloon* keeper should respect the laws, but the constant Injustice meted out to him under the guise of laws is a force which tends to undermine this ; respect. "The problem of the saloon Is one of regulation by statutory authority; of administration by the trade. From either standpoint It is a complex problem which cannot be settled in i the offhand fashion that seems so easy to superficial observers. "The regulation of the saloon has , been needlessly complicated by experimental legislation, party politics, police corruption and inefficiency. Fixed and arbitrary limitations lm j posed on communities oy tne state without regard to local conditions, ( have only increased the difficulty. "To keep the saloon out of politics It must first be taken out of politics; and the best way to keep it in politics is to provide by local option laws for the constant agitation of the license question, with the element of harassing uncertainty which this involves. In recent years the saloon has been growing to be less and lessa political factor. To-day it threatens to become the biggest political issue in our history." [ Prohibitionists Send Condolences to the Brewers. Minneapolis, Minn.?One of the J first acts of the Minnesota Prohibition ' Convention, assembled here, was to send this message to the National ' Convention of Brewers, in session at | Milwaukee: "The Prohibition State Convention of Minnesota, now in session, sends condolences to your association. Your , business is doomed, as your outposts I are now carried and the prohibition I army is about to move against your main body. The Church and society have now declared and the State will soon say, 'the saloons must go.' "E. E. LOBECK, Chairman." i Milwaukee's Mayor Sounds Key note of Anti-Prohibition Fight Milwaukee, Wis.?This city, noted as the beer city of the Nation, has , thrown down the gauntlet in the 1908 battle of the brewers against prohibition. The preliminary rallying cry j of the United States Brewers' Asso, ciation has been, "Let us clean house; down with the immoral saloon!" and Milwaukee has led off by blacklisting forty-five places where beer is sold, and her municipal authorities will see that these forty-five licenses are revoked. Mayor David S. Rose and his Chief 1 of Police made this list public. The Mayor has led off the 1908 battl3 with a municipal object lesson, point1 ing out that the clean brewer will not stand for the unclean saloon. Stop Drinking Alcohol, Says Dr. riorlintrtnn TTpnlth Commissioner. Boston.?"The people of this courf1 try are drinking too much alcohol by far." So Dr. Thomas Darlington, Health Commissioner of New York, told physicians from all over the country at the twenty-seventh annual meeting of the American Climatological Association. Dr. Darlington read a paper en "The Cause of Mortality From Heart Disease in the United States." "We need rugged constitutions, indeed, to hold us up in the pace we are traveling." said the Health Commissioner. He declared that while the general death rate is decreasing, mortality from heart disease and its correlated condition, chronic Bright'? disease, is increasing steadily throughout the country. For it Dr. Darlington blamed alcohol largely. I Says Anna Gould Will Wed. Saying he expected Mme.
