He consulted a number of physicians and it was teared that he was lo«mng his tuiud. He was a nervous wreck, although at certain periods he uould . gain in stiength and seemed to be on the road to recovery. Such is the peculiar course of the disease, and | wb oh lias been so misleading to phy-, Sicians. At first Hudson's case was diagnosed as a general nervous breakdown. bordering on insanity. "But he showed little improvement j except at certain sessions or periods only to be followed up with another attack more severe each time. Some months ago his case was pronounced as pellegra. The doctors diagnosing i the symptoms as ~eiiegra had never seen the patient before and but two weeks prior had seen their first case, while visiting in Chicago, although having previously made a careful Study of it. Hudson had every symptom of the disease. "While new in the United States,the disease lias been prevalent in ' Italy for years among the peasantry more particularly in the southern part It first male its appearance more than one hundred years ago. Italian scientists ■ho had given the

He had the breaking out on the hands and face, first resembling sunburns and finally sealing off. There was also In this case a breaking out between the toes. “Hudson had consented to appear before a body of medical authorities at Indianapolis in a few days. Hrs. iB. S. and Morton Hunt had all arrangements made to take him and lie readily consented to go If he could assist the medical profession in one of the most baffling diseases on record. But death came sooner than expected, although it was known that the disease would eventually prove fatal. j "Some months ago Hudson visited in the southern states. While there he saw a number of cases of pellegra. He immediately recognized It Ito be the same disease from which ihe was suffering. The doctors had also told him and he was prepared for the worst. "When the disease was first discovered it was agreed that the matter j be kept quiet, inasmuch as it is not contagious and there was no danger of it spreading. Mrs. Hudson kept boarders and it was her only way of making a livelihood. Hudson was ai glass blower by trade and was etn-1 ployed at the Woodbury glass fa ory. "Strange as It may seem .the disease has never been discovered ' among families well-to-do or where ' , surroundings are the most hygienic ' and where only wholesome and the j best food is eaten. As a rule, the I disease is found where conditions are unsanitary.”

Willow River, Wis., Sept. 28—(Speci ial to Daily Democrat)—After being half starved from a fast of three nights and two days in the woods, Earnest Egan, living near here, who ran I amuck on last Monday while intoxicated and shot three men, including his father, returned home and surrendered, and was placed under arrest. A reactionary storm period, under the combined strain of both earth and venus equinoxes is central on the 3rd and 4th, and may be expected to

with autumnal rain, wind and possibly light snow, northward. ®Venus light©ing and thunder will probably bring in these October periods, followed by rapid change to much colder. A regular storm period is at its center. with full Boon on the equator, on ; the 7th. This is one of the most decided 1 storm periods of this month. Violent disturbances should be watched against., both in the lake and gulf regions. Rain, wind and thunder will visit most parts of the interior during this period. From the stb to the 11th, central: on the 7th, constitutes a grave seismic period. Snow, northward, rising barometer and much colder, will ' wind: up this period. A reactionary storm period falls at I the closing of the venue period, on the ! 13tti, 14th and 15th. Fierce, autumnal thunder storms will visit many sections, with high gales over lake regions: High Irarometer, snow squalls and change to much colder at the culmination of these storms. A regular storm period, covered by the autumnal and mercury periods, extends from the 17th to the 22nd. The crisis of this period will fall on the 20th, 21st and 22nd. Fierce autumnal storms, with lightning and thunder during the first stages, will mark this period. Autumn rains will occur generally at this time, attended by dangerous gales, especially on and about the great lakes. Early snow to the north and west, with mercury sleet storms that will hamper and endanger, wires and agricultural interests, need not surprise those concerned. Another very decided seismic period reaches from the -18th to the 24th, central on the 21st. High northwest winds and cold, fair weather will follow this period. A reactionary storm period will bring in storm changes—low barometer. cloudiness and autumnal rain and wind, on the 24th, 25th and 26th. Stubborn cloudiness, persistent tendency to drizzle and sleet, snow and cold, will attend and follow these dates. Those who will be forewarned' of disagreeable weather and autumnal storms, and make haste with all possible outdoor work, will be winners at this time.

A regular storm period is central on the -fifth, and extends from the 28t.> of October to rhe 3rd of November. The menth •.•.<!’. end w ith weather i growing v.m’mer, falling barometer, and cloudiness and advancing from j the west. Rains turning to snow in western extremes, will be in sight- to “official observers,” and to those "on the spot,” as we enter November. NOAW FRAUHIGER Has the Following Sales So Far, Scheduled.

It has been very warm and dry i here —one-one hundredths of an inch rainfall the past four weeks. I never saw anything like it in all my experience. In fact, very dry all over the continent. Some war news between Germany and France, but only the small kingdoms between these two countries alarmed —Belgium, Holland, Luxemboro, etc. —are worried, but, there is no danger of war. England would be pleased to witness another hitch between Germany and France, but there is no danger. r hare witnessed some maneuvering of the Belgium soldiers. Only today I saw a regiment of cavahry eventising. It looked grand. Do you know that the cost of living over here is simply awful. No living memory at similar prices. Rioting has been quite prevalent in Great Britain. Germany, France, and elswhere. I enclose you clipping from today’s Daily Mail (Paris edition). Such recitals appear daily. Am well. My weight is IM) kilos Have had some very enjoyable sport shooting over some of the largest domainal. Partridge, pheasant and hare are quite plentiful. In one day, in a company of twelve shooters, I killed 25 partridges, 3 pheasants and 7 hares, and tn the evening quite, an elaborate menu card. Plenty good old Bourgundy. At one place, a Bourgundy was served that was put tn the cellar in 1884—27 years old. With kindest regards to all, I am Sincerely yours, J. M. FRISINGER.
