have increased 204 per cent. Although
the income from sources other than di-
rect taxes has increased over $50 per
cent and population only %, the burden
of direct taxation upon the people in
stead of being diminished increased
from S276,000 to 81, $685. ,000 The direct
tax for Manitowoc county in Governor
Peck's last year was $4460, which has
increased to S74, 4,275 in 1908.
A business man would not tolerate
this extravaganza in his affairs why
should the voter in his public affairs?
The speaker closed in an eloquent
period appealing to voters to investi-
gate and vote their convictions. The
speech was typical Schmitz oration;
eloquent, logical and fervent, even
fiery in its earnest vehemence.
Mr.. Kennedy introduced Mr.. Weisse
who in n brief talk outlined some of
the grossest instances of Republican
misrule culled from his experiences in
congress.
The audience led by Mr.. Kennedy
gave three cheers for a. j. Schmitz.
The big crowd stayed until the end,
and followed the addresses with rapt
attention.
The meeting was a success from
every point of view and a splendid
testimonial to the opinion of Mr..
Schmitz held by his former neighbors.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

William Simon, the School Hill man.
who about two weeks ago forced Miss
| Emma Brandt to elope with him but
was arrested and taken back home
Friday night in Chicago, shot and kill
ed Miss Brandt, shot her sister, Miss
Tillie Brandt, through the hand: fired
two shots at his cousin, Lawrence
Simon, and then killed himself at
Lawrence Simon's home, 80 North
Eorty-eighth avenue.
The series of events that ledup to the
shooting had its beginning in Elkhart
Lake, two weeks ago. At that time
Simon forced the girl now dead to
elope with him. At Stevens Point,
Wis, a marriage license was procured,
but the pair was overtaken. Miss
Brandts parents denied her permission
to marry.
From that time until Wednesday of
last week Simon logged the footsteps
of the girl. Wednesday he learned
that she was to be taken to st. Louis
to forget him. He anticipated the
move and went to Chicago, stopping
at the home of his cousin.
Friday morning Miss Brandt, her
sister Tillie and two other sisters,
Laura and Bertha, arrived in Chicago
at 1880 o'clock, thirty-eight minutes
after the train they had intended tax
ing to St. Louis had left. They went
to the home of Lawrence Simon to
visit while waiting for later train.
At $50 o'clock in the evening Will
liam Simon arrived, and the entire
party sat down to supper. William
Simon appeared to be nervous, when,
after supper, the others adjourned to
the parlor, leaving him with his sweet
heart. The shooting began soon
after.
When Tillie Brandt reached the
kitchen door she saw her sister lying
on the floor in pool of blood and ut
the same time was shot through the
hand. Lawrence Simon rushed in and
with his cousin, who fired
three shots at him, and then rushed to
the back porch, reloaded his revolver
and fired two shots into his own head
dying almost instantly.
Emma Brandt was shot through the
temple and died within five minutes.
The bodies of Simon and Miss Brandt
were removed to a morgue where an
inquest was held.
The funeral of Simon was held Tues
day. His remains were brought to this
city for interment in Fvc rgreen ceme-

A WORD ON RABIES.

DR.. j, G. Jrikowic, vino while in
Washington, ID. c., handled nearly 100
cases of rabies in dogs, cats and horses,
has the following to say in regard to
this disease:
Usually when a dog becomes affected
with this disease, the first symptoms
are those of the dog leaving home for
day or two during which period he
may cover nearly 100 miles and as Il
rule spreading the disease along the
entire route he covers. If the animal
has not been killed on the way, he re-
turns, completely fatigued, often
covered with wounds he received in
fights with other dogs, but glad to get
home, showing his pleasure by licking
his masters hands and joyously bark
ing. The neXtminute he is a different
animal, biting is his only ambition
and as soon as he has bitten he seems
to be sorry for the act.
From now on the dog grows rapidly
worse making frequent passes over its
head with its fore paws, the eyes be-
gin to have a staring look, and often
film, his bark is changed into a howl
as if he were suffering from abdominal
pains. Soon he will he unable to
swallow, then begin to froth at the
mouth, unable to rise on his hind
limbs and in a few days dies a horrible
death. This form of rabies is the
most common and known as the
furious.
The dumb form which is often seen
is whore the animals jaws become set
either locked or open. The animal by
its look and actions implores for help,
if placed in an enclosure it will be
seen to walk round and round always
in one direction; soon it will fall and
die a quiet death.
Affected horses will bite and tear
large pieces of flesh out of their bodies,
the first symptoms resemble those of
collie.
Cows will froth at the mouth, run
about the field until they drop, seldom
attempt to bite, probably due to alb
sence oi upper incisor teeth.
There is no cure for the disease when
it once manifests itself. The pastcur
treatment is a safe preventative if
taken in time, the death rate being
only one half of one per cent.
Generally the disease is transmitted
by the bite of suffering animal, but
is not necessarily the case. The saliva
of such an animal entering through a
wound or into the pores of the skin
has been known to cause the disease.
As one dog is able TO spread the
disease to any number Of animals the
only way to check the spread Of it is
| by well enforced muZZle and leach
law, the wire basket muzzle being
the only safe and humane one on the
market.
Any dog under suspicion should be
locked up for several weeks or longer
II he has bitten any one the dog should
be shot by Il veterinarian and the heac
sent by him to the lIygcnic Laboratory
at Madison for examination.

Herman a. Schmiedicke, an old resi-
dent of this city, died last Thursday
night at his home, S07 York street,
aged 81 years. His death was due to
pneumonia with which he was taken
down the preceding Sunday. Last
December he slipped and fell on South
Water street and was not able to walk
about since until week or so before

near Berlin in Germany Nov. l3, 1920.
When young man he served in the
kings guard and one night when on
guard at the kings palace arrested the
king himself who was King Frederick,
grandfather of the present ruler of
Germany, while he was taking a stroll
through the garden and attempted to
pass the guard without giving the
countersign. When halted and ques-
toned the king said that he was citi-
zen from Potsdam, that he had fallen
asleep in the garden and asked that he
be allowed to go home No attention
was paid to his pleadings, however, by
Mr.. Schmiedicke, who arrested the
king and placed him in the guard
house. In the year 1854 Mr.. Schmie-
dicke came to this country, landing in
New York where he lived for two
years, coming to Manitowoc in 1856.
Two years later he established a har-
ness shop which he conducted for II
years after which he turned the busi-
ness over to his two sons, Herman, Jr..
and Ernst who are at present running
the business.

business man. He was well known and
was held in esteem by all who knew him.

daughters, Herman, Ernst, Mrs. Henry
Bremen, Mrs. John Meyer and Mrs.
Simon Schurr, of this city; Mrs. Au-
gust Haupt of Newton, and Mrs. c..

CAUSE GIVEN FOR
 ENDING STRIKE

Paris, October 1s.-A manifesto issued by the strike committee of the National Railroaders union, which last evening for mally called off the strike, declares that conditional surrender Is preferable to hu- initiating negotiations with the govern ment whose dictatorial attitude was an unjust violation of syndical and individ- ual liberties.
 The manifesto goes on to say that 1t was believed the demands of the railroad employees would be granted, because they were backed by public sympathies. Ii appeals to the wage earners to united for a new battle for their rights
 Another bomb was found on the Quai Des Celestins today beside the barracks of the republican guard.
 Thorough military surveillance of the railway systems involved in the recent strike continues. The train service was normal today.
 The government is continuing negotia- tions with the companies in an effort to secure for the men a general scale of wage increase.
