What Drs Mackenzie says About II
in His kkDOk.


LONDON, Oct, 12.--Dr. Mackenzie, In
his book on tho case OF the late Emperor
Frederick, states that after the emperor's
death an attempt was made to entrap him
into false position, aud II was, therefore,
settled that no post-mortem examination
should be made. DIR. Mackenzie was
urged to write his opinion as 10 the ma
ture of the disease, doubtless in the hope
thai, thinking himself safe from exposure,
he would answer smbiguously, but he
disconnected his enemies by declaring the
disease cancer Of the larynx. He con-
tends that the operation OF traoheotomy
in cases Of cancer is of deadly char
acter, the mortality amounting to OF per
cent. He also contends that in majority
OF cases Il is inadequate for complete re-
moyal OF the growth, the average recur-
renee amounting TO almost 80 per cent.

many Republicans who we're active in the

low the same candidate if they though he

that have been promoting Judge Gresham 5
candidacy, the motive of unselfish loyalty to
the party and an earnest desire to advance
the principles they believe the party to repre-

Four Persons Murdered.

ViRoouA, WIS, May 25-Information was
received here to-day of the murder of four per-
sons last night in the town of kickapoo. Mr..
and Mrs. Reuben Drake, an old couple, were
shot dead in their own house by unknown
parties, and the throats of their two little
grandchildren were cnt from earto ear. The
lifelcss bodies were found this morning when
neighbors made an investigation because of
the unusual quiet about the house. The old
couple lay on the floor and the children were
stretched in their beds. Everything was
turned upside down inside the house, and it
is supposed that the murder was the result
of an attempt at robbery. The old man had
been known to receive pension money, and
this.
Il is not known how much booty was Sc
cured from the house. The officers who in
spected the premises found that the house
had been thoroughly ransacked, drawers
overturned on the floors, and everything left
in great disorder The murderers probably
demanded Mr.. brakes money, and upon his
refusal to disclose its hiding place, if indeed
he had any in the house, shot him and then
his wife. The children were no doubt awak-
ened by the noise and for fear that they might
identify them the murderers apparently de-
cided that they, too, must be sacrificed, and
cut the throats of the innocent witnesses of
the horrible deed to make their own escape
more certain.
