OMAHA, Dec. 29.-E. A. Cudahy. the
millionaire packer, has received second
communication from the men who Kid
mapped his son. This time, as formerly,
the letter contains threat, and says III
substance that unless he withdraws his
offer of $4,000 reward for the arrest and
conviction of each Of the three bandits,
they will kidnap another Of his children.
The letter refers to the failure Of the
police to get anything like a tangible
clue as to the identity of the kidnapers.
scoffs at the idea of Pat Grove being one
of them and mentions the ease with
which the first job was pulled off, and
concludes by saying that II Mr.. Cudahy
is as wise as he showed himself in the
first instance. he win comply with the
request and withdraw the reward at
once.
This letter is written with pen and ink.
on the same kind of yellow paper as the
first and evidently by the same person.
1t was found by servant of the Cudahy
household. early on the morning of
Thursday December q. Someone called
up the house by telephone. and asked II

swered that he was not.
Well" came the voice over the tele-
phone, ''you can go out in the front yard
and you'n find letter there. near the
that It is delivered TO him personally. and
TO no one else"
The servant went out at once and
found a letter. 1t was In plain white
envelope and was addressed:

INFLUENZA MICROBE.

THE modus operandi of the influenza
miCrobe is peculiar" says the Manches-
ter Guardian, quoting a recent article
by a French authority. 1T is not the
microbe itself that does the harm, but
a poisonous liquid it eXcretes. A meas
ure of consolation is afforded By the
fact that this poison is more deleteriOus
to the microbe than to the human being
in whom it is deposited, for the mi
crobes end by being destroyed by their
own horrible eXhalatiOns, whereas the
victim, of course, has many chances of
recovery. The mlcrobe is an egg shap-
ed thing, but gifted in spite of its
roundness and smoothness, with an ex-
traordinary capacity both for adheTng
to any conceivable surface and for
passing from one resting place to an
other IT'S goal is a human nose or
mouth and once in the vicinity of these
organs its future is assured, for the
mere act of breathing is sufficient to
draw it into the system. Arrived there
it propogates itself with amazing rapid
ity 1t lengthens out and after twenty
minutes of this process breaks in twain
and there are two fully fedged microbes
in the place of one. In tWenty-four
hours the original invader will, in this
way, be surrounded by progeny of
over sixteen millions of his poison pro-
ducing kindred. In short, the doctors
know almost everything about the in
fiuenza mierobe except an effective way
of DISCRIMINATING it,"
