thirst for human blood, which nothing
could appease, and he had to be kept in

by tasting blood in fight. He was

saw blood flow from the nose of one of

heart of a bystander and drank his
blood as it flowed He killed another

Disaster.
CHICAGO, May 9.-The farmers in the
West and Northwest have a good right
to be blue these days. The heavy rain
falls seriously delay those who have
not finished their seeding, and the I'M
seasonable snowstorms IN the more
northern regions have played havoc
with the crops already in. The corn
belt is soaked, and the tillers Of the
soil in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri and
Iowa are fretting away the time
until the sun dries the land so they can
do their drilling and seeding. Wheat,
too, will have to wait in many SGates
until the land assumes a better con-
dition for blowing, The outlook is not
at all encouraging to-day. Cloudy
weather still prevails in the vicinities
visited by rain, and in those still Wis
tied by SHOW and sleet the temperature
evinces most discouraging tendency
to hover about the freezing point.
