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. According to
a statement just issued by the packers
combine, she has cut down her
purchases of meat twenty per cent.,
and there's no telling how little she'll
buy when the summer com%3, with its
abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables.
The unusually wet spring has
brought promise of exceedingly
bountiful crops, and everything is
cheaper in the eatinglineexcept meat.
PKIIES IN BUSiUN HlUHtK
THAN IN YEARS
Boston. ? Scarcity of beef sent
wholesale prices to a figure higher
than had been reached since the beef
strike several years ago. Whole cattle
were selling at twelve and a half
cents a pound. Dealers said they
did not expect lower prices until late
In the summer.

BO OF BHLHVDBOPHOBIfl
Capt. 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

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.
Wheeling and Lake Erie in Court on
Claims Aggregating $8,791,047.
Toledo, Ohio.?The Wheeling and
Lake Erie Railroad, one of the Gould
lines, was put into the hands of a receiver
by United States District Judge
W. W. Tayler on claim aggregating
$8,791,047 due the National Car
Wheel Company, of New York.
The petition alleges the total indebtedness
of the Wheeling to be upward
of $28,000,000. B. A. Worthington,
of Cleveland, vice-president
and general manager of the Wheeling,
was appointed receiver for the
road.
It is said that the troubles of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie Road had
their foundation in the building 01
the Pittsburg and Wabash terminals.
This work was started under President
Ramsey, who believed he would
put the work through for $16,000,000,
but which has already run up to
over $40,000,000, with the work still
uncompleted.
Other matters which are said to
have rushed the matter of a receivership
are a note of a million dollara
due in August and an eight-imlliondollar
mortgage which falls due within
a few months with no funds available
to meet them.

) Will Be $30,000.
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. The fifty-eight substitutes,
many of whom just fell short
of the charmed circle, are not to be
slighted in the calculations, and a

makes it certain that the honor of

' 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.

Boston.?"The people of this courf1

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.

The nerve centers require nutrition. If

An Odd Find.
Twenty-four years ago, while plowing
a field on his farm near Townville,
Crawford County, John Blair
lost his wallet, containing $35 In
gold. He has just found the last ol

plowing, he turned up $25 of the
money, but could not find the balance.

turned up the missing coin, a $10
gold piece. The wallet was never
found.?Philadelphia Record.
