WISCONSIN'S RECORD.
FAITHFULLY TOLD IN READABLE
SHAPE.
Buriins ION Merchant Found Dead at
Racine = Is Thought to Have Been
Murdered by Confidence Men Burn
on Body Aids in Finding Lost Child.

1t is now said that three sharpers
were in the deal whereby Henry Miller,
the Burlington merchant. found in the
lake at Racine, lost $4,000. The leader.
representing himself as George n Frat.
hired horse and buggy at the stables of
Nick Gil, and his two confederates Sc
cured rig at Mathews stables. Gill
did not like his actions and ordered an
employee, Gaylord Kies, to follow the
stranger. The fellow drove to the Wis
consin Central railway depot and Sc
cured two satchels, which he placed in
the buggy. Then he drove to what is
known as Wilson's Corners, met his con-
federates and turned over one of the
satchels. Returning to the village he
picked up Mr.. Miller and then Kies stop
ped following him. A half hour later
Mr.. Miller secured the $4,000 from the
bank and was again taken into the coun-
try. 1t is now believed beyond doubt
that Henry Miller was murdered by a
confidence man for $1,000, but other fea-
lures of the case are attracting atten-
ton. The wounds on Miller's head were
not caused after his DEATH for then
there would have been no blood. Had he
jumped into the lake he would have been
wounded on a different part of his head.
1t is generally believed now that he was
hit with a sandbag, robbed and thrown
into the lake. The spot where his body
was found is only about block west
of the st. Paul depot, where Miller was
last seen alive by friend, Webb Rich
ardson, and where, il is believed, he had
made an appointment to meet the conf
dence man, who pretended to be George
Fratt, a Racine banker. The theory
that Miller was robbed of $4,000 and
committed suicide has been abandoned,
as it is regarded as preposterous that 50
shrewd a business man could have been
SWindled out of that sum-

Since 1873 the city has had to deal
with the fever at different times, but in
no case have the previous records been
reached. In 1897 the outbreak caused
the same panic over the New Orleans
situation that now prevails, but the
death list was comparatively small.
Yellow fever was first recognized def
nitely in 1647 in the West Indies, and
since 1851 it has been endemic there.
In the latter part of the eighteenth and
the first part of the nineteenth centuries
the disease created havoc along the
whole Atlantic coast of the United
States, spreading TO seaports as far
north as Maine. In 1893 the city of
Philadelphia, then having a population
of 10000 was stricken, and 1000 per

HISTORY OF THE PLAGUE.
Memories of Some Yellow Fever
Scourges in the South.


The history of yellow fever in tbs
United States. with the awful memories
of the summer and fall of 1878 still ris-
ing like ghostly specters, is well calcu-
lated to arouse dread of what may en-
sue between now and the frosts of au-
tumn. With the frightful death lists of
the past before them, it is small wonder
that the people of the Southern cities
are in condition bordering on panic.
In New Orleans yellow fever prevail
ed TO some extent every year as far back
as the records so up to 1880. with the
exception of the years the city was I'M
der the military control of Gen. Ben
Butler, and the regulations of war time
completely interdicted travellers from the
tropics.
In 1850 the city changed its system of
quarantine from the absolute Introduction
