IF any eof the Kenosha people had
but noticed, this has been common
conversation during the last few days,
not from any particular section Of the
city but from all over, residence and
business portion, all have been suffering
from the attacks of la grippe,
Physicians declare it is but natu-
raj result that this disease should gain
q, foothold at the present time. Not
a single practicing doctor in the city
but confesses he had numerous cases
on his hands It is not an epidemic
Of the disease, it is claimed, but a
natural result of the variations in the
weather which have been experienced
during the last few weeks. Not in
years, old residents declare, has the
weather been such as experienced this
winter. Variations from cold to that
OF early rail- days, from snow to rain,
come within the short period Of
twenty -four hours. The fragile lungs
of many of our city residents unused
to the rough tactics of the weather
must give way in some manner and
the ever busy la grippe microbes get
in their busy season.
Z Although there are great many
cases reported, the disease is said to
be on the average much milder than
the ravages of genuine epidemic.
Changes in the weather cause much
negligence in regard to wearing appar-
Ell. At one time person faces the
weather in overcoat, muf1ers and
gloves. A few hours later he is on
the street in almost summer attire.
A little precauion in regard to dress,
say the physicians, will entirely do
away with the disease

in the proceedings the better we like

HOLDS Up A TRAIN
Man Supposed TO Be Suffering
From Religious Mania Stands
in Front Of Train
HOLDS EMBLEMS OF CHURCH

Standing on the railway track with a.
prayer book in one hand and with the
other pressing crucifx to his lips.
Matt Peterauskas, Lithuanian sup
posed to reside on Third street tied
up the traffic of the Northwestern rail
way out of Kenosha this morning The
man was finally subdued and removed
from the track by the fireman and the
engineer in charge of the train in front
of which he had been standing and he
was taken to the county Jail by special
officer Ryan. It is supposed that the
man is insane and that he is suffering
from religious mania Whether it was
his intention to commit suicide or not
not known but the conditions strongly
indicated an attempt to kill himself by
being crushed by the train.
Peterauskas had been working as a.
fireman at the plant Of the Kenosh Gas.
and Electric Company and last night
he had gone to the police office and left
a photograph Of himself At that time
he talked in such a rambling manner

he was attempting to say. Later he.
returned to his work but he left the.
plant just after one o'clock and it is
supposed that he wandered about dur
ing the night. The spectacle Of the man
bareheaded and holding the emblem of
the church in his hands standing in
front Of the train caused a sensation
among the early morning passengers,
to Chicago The man repeatedly fought
with the train crew in his efforts to,
remain in front of the engine and it
was not until he was thrown to the
ground and held by the fireman that the
train was permitted to proceed to Chi
cago. The man could give no connected
account of himself and his rawlings in
Dictated clearly that he was insane. An
effort is being made today to locate the
friends of the man and it is probable
that an application for an examination
into his mental condition will be made
