A Passenger Overcome by Hydrophobia
North Western Train.
RACINE, Wis.,, Nov. 23.-Adolph Fixen
and several other Racine gentlemen
who went to Chicago on North West
ern train, yesterday, report terrible
and exciting scene in one of the
coaches. When near Kenosha, one of
the passengers, well-dressed man, was
observed to be acting strangely. He
glared about at the occupants of the car
with wild look in his eyes. Then he
frothed at the moth, bit viciously at sew
eral persons near by, chewed the back
of the seat, bit his hands and coat and
made noise resembling the barking of
a dog. It took the other passengers
but a very few moments to arrive
at the conclusion that the man was
a victim of hydrophobia and the wild
est confusion prevailed. People rushed
pell nell for the doors and other
coaches, and in less than two minutes
the mad man had the car to himself.
A couple of brakemen took hold of the
man and mad fearful struggle to over
power and prevent him from biting
them. They removed the unfortun-
ate man to baggage car. In his
quiet moments said he had come from
the West and was on his way East. He
said that he had been bitten twice by
dog bat never felt any i'll effects be-
fore. At Chicago he was turned over
to the police who removed him to a
hospital. His name was not learned.

A Family Disappears and their Cottage
Bears Evidence of Murder.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-The poiict
have made strange and sickening dis
covery which will probably lead to the
unearthing of bloody tragedy. Di-
rectly opposite the Deering Street sta

Up to the 18th Of this month this cot
tage was tenanted by John Hughes, his
wife and two children. On the 18th they
disappeared. This morning the cottage
was broken open, and the floor, ceiling
and walls of three rooms were found
almost literally covered with blood. In
some places on the floor the blood had
not dried and was 80 thick that it could
be literally scooped up with q spoon.

family, or part OF it, has been muir
dered.
The police say they have established
the TACT that no tragedy las taken
place at the cottage. The blood marks
are not such as would be produced in
life-anddeath struggle, but are
broad smears OF blood, as if
spread on Dy whitewash brush. They
say that the blood was brought there

Bad for Cold Water.

Unless the law providing for the hold
ing of elections in Kansas is changed be-
fore the next election the Prohibition
party will be unable to place a ticket in
the field at that time. The law as
passed by the last Legislature, and
which supplements the Australian
system, provides that no political
party that did not at the last
election poll per cent. of the entire
vote cast can place in nomination candi-
dates for office. At the last election
about SOC, N,0 votes were cast, of which
the Prohibitionist, cast only 5000. 1t is
doubtful whether the Union Labor par
ty will be able to place ticket in the
field at the next election under this law,
for at the last election that party polled
in most instances but 100 or 200 votes
over the per cent. required.
