posed Rabid Dog.

pesCu houtu Ivy
A mad.dog scare has been on in
Butlerfor the past three orfour days,
caused by large strange black dog
attacking and biting four or five per,
sons on the streets.
Roy, the 5-year.old son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. A. Seese, was bitten by the
brute Sunday night. Mr.. Seess said
he and bis wife were coming up town,
and the boy was running along on
the sidewalk few rods ahead OF
them, when the dog sprang at the
child and buried q tooth In his left
wrist. he again tried to bite the
boy In the face, but got held Of his
cap. The dog then left and trotted
off across the street. The Butler
maidstone in charge OF the Mayor was
applied to the wound, and we under
stand adhered for about an hoor.
Being applied again the stone refused
to take hold.
Mr.. Seese said he would take bis
little son to the Pasteur institute in
Chicago.
The same dog bit ]. NJ. Patty,
twice, once on the arm and again in
the groin. This occurred on the foot
bridge over the branch near the east
school building. Mr.. Patty went to
Nevada Tuesday morning to test the
maidstone at that place.
The dog also bit Perry Beckham's
little son on the arm, inficting a
bad wound.
The same dog attacked Lulu Cam
eron and tore her cloak and skirt.
Brown Walton was another victim
Of the mad brute. but he escaped
with his clothes torn.
It ID reported in town that a farm
er. east OF town, was bitten by the
dog Tuesday.
The officers have made strenuous
efforts to kill the mad.dog, but sc
far as is known he is still at large
Several dogs in town were bitten by
the rabid animal, and a general wal
determination Of the canine raceir
this city is being inaugurated.
Owing to the tragic death in THU
city several months ago OF Jim Angle
from hydrophobia, our people are
thoroughly excited over the events
of the past days; and many insist on
killing every dog in the town.

MAKING FORTUNES.
Money Of the Market IL Not for the
Man VINO Hns Merely a
Theory.

The fortunes have been made, Will
Payne tells readers of Century, in "The
Chicago Board of Trade" not by men
who entered the market with a precon-
ceived theaJy as to it's course, which
they attempted to make good through
thick and thin, but rather by those
who took things as they came, watch
ing the drift, shaping their way from
day to day, like prudent merchants,
according to the current.
This is confusing to the novice, for
the novice always comes in with pre-
conceived theory. Some time ago a
young man with large hope, mod
crate fortune, and considerable social
prestige, was shown the enormous pos
sibilities in December pork. 1t looked
absolutely convincing; but he called
upon a great packer with whom he had
a personal acquaintance. Yes, the
packer thought very well of pork-was
buying it, in fact. Thus doubly as
sured, the young man bought. The
market went his way and he bought
more. Then the market turned. The
young man reviewed the convincing
statistics, remembered the words of
the packer, and stood stubbornly upon
his line. When he was getting near to
the end Of his margins he was horrified
to learn that his friend. the packer,
had shifted to the other side of the
market two weeks before. He visited
him. recalled the conversation and ex-
planned the situation The packer
stared. 'sDo you mean that you've been
holding $500 barrels Of pork all this
timer" he demanded. "Yes," said the
young man; "andsI have il yet. Now,
what can ] dc with it?" 81 don't
know" said the packer, unless you
can eat it,
