SCARES HERSELF INTO RABIES
Doctors OF New York Hospital Closely
Watching . Remarkable
Case.

The doctors at Bellevue hospital. New
York, are watching with interest what is
thought TO be a case OF pseudo hydropho-
bia. At the time of the rabies scare last
simmer there was a good deal OF discus
sion among doctors concerning the genu-
ineness of such cases. It was stated by
many authorities that probably most of
them were spurious.
The case now under observation in Belle
4 we, the doctors say, bears all the ear
marks Of being genuine. 1t has been I'M
kder observation for nearly a week. The
Spatient is a girl 10 years old. While her
; commissions are the indirect result of a
bite, the woman who bit her-for she was
, bitten by a w~oman-had never been bitten
y herself, SO far as can be learned.
The girl is Dora Klapkih of 21 East
One Hundred and First street. July 8
last her aunt, Mrs. Sophia Thaler, became
III at her home and the girl helped nurse
her. The Illness developed into insanity,
but at first Mrs. Thaler was not violent
and the girl continued to attend her.
One day while bending over the patients
be dto give her a glass of water, the de-
sire for which precludes the idea of hydro
phobia in the aunt, the doctors say, the
girl was bitten on the left cheek. The
bite was n slight affair. Miss Klapkin paid
no attention to 1t and went on about her
duties. On this same day Mrs. Thaler's

BEATRICE-An automobile. race was
pulled off yesterday between +. r. Mockett
and Edward Pinney of Lincoln, the former
winning the contest and covering the DIS
lance of forty miles between Beatrice to
Lincoln in 1905. Mockett drove d Mitchell
car and Plnney a Buick machine. A few

again met with an accident which put him
out of the race. He ran off a culyert be-
tween Cortland and Lincoln. breaking one

CENTRAL CITY-While performing his
duties as night Waterman at the mill Of
the T. b. Hord Alfalfa Meal company
Sherman Grubb had an exciting expert
ence with some robbers and as a result
carries a billet wound I'm his left hand.
The mill and hay shed Of the company
are quite extensive. and when Mr.. Grubh
was making his customary roulGs at about
3 O'Clock in the morning, he came upon
a couple Of men I'm the barn making off
to them to drop their booty AID surren-
der, but instead they started TO run He
fired at the mand they returned his fire.
a bullet striking two of the fingers on the
left hand and inflicting a painful, but
not serious wound. The men kept on run
ming and made their getaway. NJ. Lrubb
went at once to the home OF a Mr.. Scott,
manager OF the mill, nearby. and had his
wound dressed. He then went down and
reported the affair to Deputy Sheriff Dir
ney. No cdlew TO who the robbers were
has been discovered, and hence no ar
rests have been made. The cement which
the men were carrying off when they were
discovered is worth only about 90 cents a
sack. and 1t is hard TO conceive how any
body would take risks resulting in a shoot
ing to secure so small a booty. At frs:
II was feared that Mr.. Grub might lose
one OF his fingers, but that danger has
now passed.

JOHN E. SEARLES, SUGAR KING
Won and Lost One Fortune, but Got
Another Before His
DEATH.

The ups and downs OF a business career
In New York were never more strikingly
shown than in the career OF John Z.
Searles, once the sugar king OF America, -
who dropped dead in ond the other
day. at the age OF rs years. He was the
son of a poor, itinerant Methodist minis
ter, began TO work for his own living at
the ago Of 10 and had gained a moderate
fortune by the time he was 40. He then
organized a big sugar company, which in
a few years was able to consolidate with
itself most OF It's rivals, and afterward
Mr.. Searles formed the gigantic Sugar
trust, with a capitalization OF S0,OOo,Ooo.
He was the secretary, treasurer and execu-
tive officer OF this. but was not content
to confine his energies to its management.
He became a bank president and a direc-
tor In a dozen or more corporations. and
divided his energies to such q degree thai

Who Object to Liquid Medicines Should Buy Peruna Tablets

11-year-old SON Max brought into the
house a dog, but because the neighbors
disEked it and because Of Mrs. Thaler's
condition the dog was soon sent away.
This was all before Mrs. Thaler's in
sanity developed. Finally her condition
grew so bad that she was removed to
Bellevue hospital and then transferred to
the asylum at Central Islip, l.. l., where
she died on July IA.
Dora Klapkin went on about her duties
and was apparently in the best OF health
and spirits. Not long ago. however, some
one told her that her aunt really had been
bitten by a dog and had died of hydro
phobia and that Dora, having in turn been
bitten by her aunt, might suffer from it,
too. TIL girl is said to have taken the
remark to heart and to have bought sew
eral books and read much on the subject of
rabies. She became sullen. and grew thin
and ~listless worrying over the matter.
on Saturday, october II. she suddenly
fell In a faint on the floor at her home
and when a doctor was called he found her
in commissions. She was removed to Belle
vue, and after watching the case there the
physicians discovered all the symptoms of
h~ydrophobia.
Whether or not the girl can recover the
doctors are unable to say. but they seem
convinced that they have on their hands a
case of a young girl who has simply ter.
rorized herself into her present condition.

some Of his interests got beyond his con-
troll.
MIR. Searles was rated at one time to
be worth $40, 10000 and was regarded as
the head of the sugar interests of Amer
lea. Men were eager to get his name to
aid In promoting other enterprises, and
he embarked in a great number. When
the senate investigating committee called
him as a witness in regard to Sugar Trust
affairs he refused to answer questions in
relation to campaign contributions. md
was tried for contempt of court, but the
judge presiding at the trial directed the
jury to acquit him. At what seemed the
summit of his career he retired from the
offices in the American Sugar Refining
company, the corporation formed TO re-
place the Sugar Trust, to which technical
objections had beer made. The announce
ment, created a marked decline IN Sugar
stocks, but with the choice OF his success
sor they rallied. 1t was given out that the
condition OF the health Of Mr.. Searles
caused his retirement. but he at once de-
voted. himself to other interests. especially
the American Cotton company. The fol-
lowing year, however. he was forced into
an assignment for the benefit Of his oredi-
tors. In n year he was discharged from
bankruptcy and resumed his business re-
lations 30 successfully fhat he gained an
other fortune before his sudden death 90
CURED.
This was told in Wall street Of the cause
Of the shrinkage in the fortune OF Mr..
Searles. Before he retired from the Amer
lean Sugar Retiring company, in a suddsn
and sharn decline OF the stocks It was
said he lost over 10000. He also in
vested largely in a Montana copper mine,
which he estimated to be worth $500, 600,
but on which he was unable to realize.
The schedule of his assets and llsbilitis s
showed that the former were 81. 6l6.545 and
the latter S2,iS5, 1856. After he had passed
through bankruptcy with the remnant OF
his fortune Mr.. Searles. at the age OF GO,
began a new business career. and at the
time of his death was largely interested
in a number a. corporations.
1t was regarded as a hit at Mr.. searies
at a meeting over which he presided when
a speaker told this story OF the reply Of
John Bright to one of his admirers OF
Lord Beaconsfield. who said:
You ought 10 give him credit for what
he has accomplished, fer he is a self
made man."
