A dispatch from La Porte, Jnd . x
says ..he murder of four persons she .
had invited to her "House of Hor- i
rors " as her guests at a Christmas c
party, is the latest atrocity charged 1
to Mrs. Belle Guinness, La Porte's '
arch assassin, who is being sought by s
the police o* practically the whole
world.
From a careful identification of s
the unidentified bodies which have a
been recovered from the "soft spots" 1
of Brookside farmw and the compari- I"
son of other evidence, it is now almost
certain that the woman slaver f
committed her quadruple crime on 0
Christmas night of 1906.
Jennie Olson. John Moo. of Elbow 1
Lane. Minn., and a man and woman 1
known only as the "professor and his ?
wife were on that night the victims <1
of the Guinness woman's passion for
slaughter. t
This discovery corroborates In de- t
tall the statement by Emil Greening, f
once Mrs. Guinness' chore boy, who d
has beeu Interviewed in Oklahoma ?
City." c
Greening said that after the party r
held at Mrs. Guinness' house Christ- f
mas day. 1906, and the next day, De- c
eember 2 6, he noted the disappear- s
ance of all the guests. When ho
asked Mrs. Guinness where the visitors
had gone, she said that the
professor and his wife, who were at ^
the house, had gone back to their
school near Los Angeles, California,
and had taken Jenule Olson with
them.
One of the men at. the Christmas 1
party Is now known to have been t
John Moo, of Elbow Lake, Minn., but j
the persons remaining to be identified (
are the ones described as the profes
sor and his wife. j
Heretofore It hna linen iyanui.?ll..
thought that Eniil Greening was ?
wrong in saying that there was any ^
woman guest at the Christmas party i
besides Jennie Olson. The explanation
made was that probably Green- .
tng saw a man dressed in woman's
clothes. '
Four bodies were found in one
grave. One of them has been identl- J
fled as that of Jennie Olson and an- .
other as the remains of Jim Moo
The third is that of a woman, and ,
the fourth a man of unknown ideu- .
tity as yet.
There are reasons to believe M?s .
Guinness prepared for this slaughter
weeks ahead. The graves wore dug ,
two months ahead by Hrtjiski. a Pol- ,
isb laborer, who did odd jobs for
Mre. Guinness. The preceeding October
Mrs. Guinness was making ,
girls' dresses, and when asked by .
one of the neighbors what she was .
doing, she said the dresses were for
Jennie Olson, who was going away j
to school.
It may be presumed from the
shreds of evidence now in the posesslon
of County Prosecutor Smith that
Mrs. Guinness had plotted to kill
three persona on this occasion?the <
sj-called professor, his wife and Jennie
Ol6on, but Moo with his $1,500
arrived in answer to Mrs. Guinness'
matrimonial advertisement just in ,
time to Join the party and to he '
killed and buried with the others. j.

With a saw the legs were cut in ,

and were wrapped in burlap appar- ,

watch. a
Coroner Mack received a letter -|
from Mrs. Henry Witr.er, N. 32.r>4 Ma- j
pie street, Toledo. O., declaring her c
fear that her daughter, who was a ^
graduate of Valparaiso College, had ^
been a victim of the arch-assassin. f
Tho girl disappeared from her ?
home on November 18, 1902, after
saying she was going to visit a friend
In La Porte. She was never heard
from again.
"We will hang Ilay Lamphere for (
hla part in the murders committed
by Mrs. Belle Guinness at her 'Houfee

SYMPATHY FOR TILLMAN.
>tatc Democratic Convention Itogret<
ted His Sickness.
By a unanimous* rising vote the j
Jtate Democratic Convention Wednes- (
lay adopted a resolution presented i
>y Mr. D. L. Sinkler of Charleston. <
expressing the sympathy of the party 1
or Senator Tillman aud regretting* *
lis absence from the councils of the
Democracy at this important time.' (
In presenting the resolution Mr!
liukler said: i
"The absence of our senior Sena- i
ui uy reason or nts protracted sick- i
less is very regretable and deprives l
his Convention of his wise counsel i
ind able leadership. His prominence I
n national political circles?his ta- \
niliarity with party conditions and
he confidence of the people, which i
le enjoys to so marked a degree, I
nukes him a potent factor in party 1
onventions, and I am sure that each
>f us will miss him for this gatherng,
where he is wont to fill so con- <
pic.ious a part.
"I, therefore, offer the following: i
"Resolved. That the Democrats of i
Jouth Carolina, in State Convention ;
issembled, express to Senator B. R. I
Tillman their sympathy with him in i
lis unfortunate sickness. i
"Resolved. That we regret his en- I
orced absence and shall miss his t
ible leadership.
"Resolved. That it is the earnest 1
lope of his fellow Democrats that he i
?e speedily restored to health and <
ible to return to his active official 1
luties."
This is the first time since 188k '
hat Senator Tillman has missed a
hate Democratic Convention, and
or the last 18 years he has been t'.o
loininating figure In the party in
outfi Carolina. it is significant of
hanged political conditions that thisesolution
of sympathy should ronu
rom Charleston, once the stronghold
?f Anti-Tillmnnlsni, and that it
hould be adopted with unanimity.

As soon as the roll was called and
checked up Ool. T. B. Crews took the
chair and Senator Blease moved that
Gen. Wilie Jones be elected chairman
of the State executive committee.
This was adopted unanimously. Mr.
J. D. Bell was elected secretary and
treasurer.
Senator Blease reported that the
books of the committee had been
checked and were found in satisfactory
condition. The report was adopted.
It was brought out that Charleston
wished a change in the Constitution,
giving the county the right to assess
candidates for solicitors and congressmen
in that county. It was decided
that the assessments on all
candidates for State offices should
he the same as hereofore.
It was decided to appoint a subcommittee
with Chairman Wilie
Jones as ex officio member to nrrau ;e
the date for the campaign. The o'her
members of this committee are:
C. I... Blease, A. W. Jones and D. G.

There was considerable debate on
the Idea advanced by Senator Blease,
suggesting that the State commlt.ee
use Its efforts to change the constitution,
providing for two campaign parties
this summer. Blease stated that
he would at the State convention of
the party advocate a change in the
constitution along the linesmen! toned.
The proposed change was finally
recommended by a division vote. It
it as follows:
"Be It resolved. That the constitution
of the Democratic party of South
Carolina he amended, as follows:
"Amend article 11 by striking out
all of said article down to the word
'in' on line 6 and inserting in licti
thereof the foilwing:
" 'Before the election in 1908 and
each election thereafter, except as
herein provided, the State Denton atic

Hydrophobia on the Increase.
There is no doubt about hydroihobia
b< coming more common in
his State as the years go by. There
vas a time when a case of hydro>hobia
was a rare thing, but now it
3 a very common thing. There is
in unfortunate tendency on the
>art of s ie to depreciate the im>ortance
<?t rabies and hydrophobia
>n account, of their rarity, while
ithers ha\ o been led by the frequent
nistakes in diagnosis to deny the
xistence ?>f these affections altogether.
Hut there is no doubt of its
xistence. and it kills more people
han one unacquainted with the
tatistics would imagine.
The Journal of The American
dedical Association says "it is rclorted
thwt epidemic rabies exists at
iresent in one or more states of the
Inion, ami there are probably few
tatos thai have not a few cases of
hiu n * * -
aiuuilK UU((B Kl till UHICS
vhile instances of human infection
ire not unknown in any section. In
his resp.'ct the United States com>ares
unfavorably with Europe. The
otal annual mortality from hydro>hobia
in this country is from 100
o 300. In England the muzzling
rder has l>een followed by a corndote
disappearance."
Dr. Hart. an expert on such maters,
says "the disease among dogs
s increasing. In and about Washngton
its frequency during the last
en montlis has been alarming; in
1907 a positive diagnosis of rabies
vas made in 41 cases, and of these 33
vcre found in the District of Colum)ia
or its immediate neighborhood.
These 33 animals bit 10 people, M?"
logs, 2 h >rses and 2 cows. Nor is
he disease less common in other
)arts of t le country; Dr. H irt we 1
>bserves that the preventive measlres
at p -jsmt being tiken are al ogether
inadequate, and urges that
stringent measures should be taksn
to sta up out the awful disease.
All dogs should be muzzled and
hose found running at large, unnuzzled
should be killed. This is
vhat was done in England, and the
hse&se h is completely disappeared.
The life of one person is worth
housau'isof dogs. The Mayor of
jreenvii.e, where some twelve or
nore persons were bitten by mad
logs in a week, h?s issued a proclanation
requiring all dogs running at
arge to be muzzled. He gave the
lolice oiders to kill all dogs found
>n the streets without a muzzles regardless
of their value or their own
Tship, and in less than three days
>ver one hundred dogs have been
tilled. If all the cities and towns
hroughout the country would folow
the good example of (Ireenvillc
i>droph<>bia would soon be a thing ^
>f the past.

The Lncoln, Neb., Journal, a
Republican paper, says: "It has

iVhen democrats from outside came

dcKinley pictures. It was so huniliating
to Mr. Bryan that he pre'erred
to go away to sec the leaders

feeling of tolerance and good

bnt most of it conies
rom the reaction from the extreme
