A Rare M That should be More
Hure.


A strange story, if true. is thus re-
lated by the Omaha Herald. as follows:
The latest instance Of this fact was
developed yesterday and reveals a case
which is peculiarly unfortunate.
The victim in question is a girl not
out of her teens, whose family reside on
Sixteenth street.
For some time past two young men
have maintained intimate relations with
the girl, and now the natural conse-
quences of the wrong-doing have be-
come too apparent to be longer con.
cealed.
Ordinarily the unfortunate girl could
have recourse to the law and marriage,
to shield her from dishonor, but the
fact that in this case such q course is
impossible, leads to an explanation of a
singular state Of affairs which led up
to this.
The two young men involved had
previously formed intimate relations
with the girls mother and sister, and
these women some weeks ago, one after
the other found themselves in an en-
barrassing situation. One of the men
considered it advisable to marry the
sister, and the other has promised to
marry the mother-if indeed he has not
already fulfilled such a promise.
The two newly made husbands, it is
reported, will be required to assume the
support of their sister-in-law and step
daughter.
The parties have up to the tr%anspir-
ing of this affair been regarded as above
suspicion.
The case is II that teaches its own
mural

Died Of HydrOphObia.

Peter Dahl, the unfortunate who was
taken to the County Hospital Wednesday
noon suffering from hydrophobia, died at
1:10 last evening, after suffering great agony.
From nine clock on the evening of the
day on which he was brought to the hospi
tai he grew perceptibly worse, and at three
O'Clock yesterday morning had become so
violent that three able-bodied men had to
stand guard over him. By ten O'Clock in
the forenoon he had become almost unman-
ageable, and a straight jacket was brought
into requistion. He resented this indignity,
as he chose to call it, and threatened to kill
whoever should attempt to fit it to his
person. He would not hesitate to become q
murderer, he said if any one ever attempted
to put him into bag like that His conyul-
sions were SO frequent and so violent that
the jacket had finally to be forcibly applied
to him, in order to prevent him from de-
stroying himself. The case was typical
one of its kind. There were all
the horrible manifestations of the
dread disease, and the patient remained
almost perfectly obstinate to all treatment.
Finally, in the afternoon, the doctors con-
Guided to try an experiment with curare, or
Wourali-the arrow poison of the natives Of
Borneo and other islands of the Pacific.
Three hypodernic injections of the deadly
drug were given the patient. The first was
a light one of only one-tenth OF grain, and
the two subsequent doses contained one
sixth of grain each. Care was taken to
note the effect of each dose, but the result
was entirely unsatisfactory, and the symp-
toms all the way to the death of the patient
continued Enthusiastically those of hydropho-
bia. The curare poison-symptoms at no
time were made manifest, but It was plainly
to every one present that tho
curare had a soothing, quieting effect upon
the convulsive movements of the sufferer
This effect was so marked that it was con-
Guided that the curare treatment would be
attempted from the beginning upon the very
next hydrophobia victim brought to the
hospital. Tribune, August y.

The sWlndlers 90 to a well-to- do farmer
and tell him he has been recommended as a
good man to sell their machines, and ask
him to become their agent. He is persuade
ed that they sell rapidly, and that he can
make a large per cent. profit. He is told
that he will not be expected to risk any
money or pay anything until he has sold
800 worth of the machines. He is induced
to sign the contract above given, which, it
will be seen, sets forth this agreement when
read straight across 1t looks fair and inno-
cent enough, and soon the farmer puts his
name i'll the blank space just before the
words "Sole Agent for -- Company.'
Afterwards the scamps easily change the
document from contract to sell into a
