DR. McMullen Replies to DIR. Wright.
After reading the article over the name
OF I. Arthur Wright, M. d., in THE EN-
PORIA NEWS of June I'd, 1879, | found
myself hating between two opinions
to answer or not said article. 1t requir-
ed but little thought to be convinced that
were the remarks solely directed toward
myself, the proper remedy would be 81
lent contempt, but as the remarks reflect
upon the wisdom of the Eclectic Medi-
cal Association, by which, after due con-
sideration, | was chosen one of the state
medical examiners, to comply with the
law lately passed by our state legislature
L found myself impelled to reply to his
unjust criticism. T. A. W. bases his re-
marks on Il postal card he received from
me, calling his attention to Me inevita-
BILE duty he would be called upon to per-
form in compliance with SAID law-that
of meeting myself as state medical exam
liner, in order that / might be able to
know of surety if the said T. A. w.
was competent to prescribe catnip tea,
or any kind of a compound, to improve
the health of the people of our state
Because of the above notice, and not of
LdpSuS tfRguG, but perhaps a slip of the
pen in my changing the photography of
Webster, the said t. A. w. pdrCa LeUeS
cdpfHnt G1tiDlus. The English version
would be, Little minds are caught with
tritles," quoting from one of the authors
I. A. w. draws upon to help out his
ideas, and which think has been read
by him, judging by the elegance of his
illustration, much in the same way he
has read medical lore, only to attain a
superficial smattering. Perhaps he has
read Shakespeare on Lucretius. 1t may
be that he is somewhat conversant with
the classics, but evidently, in some in
stances, his education has been sadly
neglected, in that he drank so slightly
from the pierian spring. He is intoxi-
Gated. He has learned so little that he
is not aware how small amount that re-
ally is. Turn back little in your class
ical reading and remember the fable:
The toad was wise in all toad knowl-
edge, but he aspired to be an OK. Re-
member, my friend, this truth, for your
guidance in the future THAT if per-
son is thoroughly acquainted with one
thing; that person is wise; if with two
things, eminently so. You may be well
read in the general literature of the day,
my impression is you would be unable
to pass creditable examination in med
ical knowledge, and as the Law is have
no doubt that no difference how promi-
nent you or the liberal physicians of Ly-
on county are, the medicine prescribed
by the law will be nauseous to the taste
of some, and am certain its action will
be prompt and decided in expelling
those who are ignorant and ungentle-
manly from the ranks of the Eclectic
profession. w. MCMULLEN, M. d.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Man Accidentally Shoots and Kills
His Wife.

A Man Accidentally Shoots and Kills
His Wife.
From Kansas City comes the particu-
lars of one of the most horrible accidents
that the annals of history could possibly
contain.
The gentleman who was the unfortu-
nate cause of his wife's death, is. Mr.. F.
G. NOonan, who is well known through
out Kansas, having been for years in the
type and newspaper QUILTING business,
and having helped to furnish large num-
Der of the papers now being printed in
Kansas
The fearful tragedy occurred on Satur-
day night last, June 18th, the particulars
being as follows:
Mr.. Noonan and family-the latter
consisting of his wife and two bright lit
tie girls-retired about 8 O'Clock, and
shortly after he had gone to sleep Mrs.
NOonan thought she heard some one in
the house, and aroused her husband. Her
idea was that the burglar was in the adj
joining room where the children were
sleeping, and Mr.. Noonan, taking re-
vOlver which he always keeps under his
pillow, started into the room. There
was no light in the house and the night
was very dark so that when he entered
he could see nothing. While standing
still, trying to locate the objects in the
room, he heard his wife say, "See, the
window netting is broken;" and Just
then he heard anoise in the direction of
the bed in which the children were Sleep
ing. He at once cooked his revolver
and held it in readiness for an assault :;
Immediately following the noise, some-
thing fell at his feet, and endeavoring to
jump back his other foot struck the same
rnlaI I'll en-
the revolver was discharged. Before the
echo of the report had died away, and
before he had located any object, he heard
his wife's voice say, Help me, Fred,
L am afraid you have killed me-"
Frightened almost out of his senses,
the poor man secured light, and found
his wife lying on the floor; and when
he lifted her head, stream of blood
poured out from wound at the back of
the head near the ear, where the ball had
entered. Assistance was called at once,
and everything done to relieve her suf
ferings, but the germ of life had been
cruShed-the wife and mother was dead.
Mr.. and Mrs. Noonan had been mar
ried about eight years. They removed
from milwaukee, Wis, to Kansas CITY,
In 1872. During their residence there
they have made many warm friends,
who will feel the loss of one so talented,
and so loveable withal, as was Mrs.
Noonan, while their sympathy will be
with the husband to the fullest extent
Nor will the sorrow be confined to
that city, as they have friends here. The
sad occurrence leaves two charming lit
tie girls, one five and the other two years
of age, without mothers love and care
The theory regarding the accident is
that Mrs NOonan had followed her hus-
band into the room, after speaking of
the netting, had gone to the bed where
her children were, and in leaving it had
tripped ON the rail and fallen upon the
floor at his feet.

INTERESTING TO SHEEP RAILS
Frs.

The following facts and figures from a
late wool circular may prove of value
and interest to the sheep men of Lyon
county. The official statistics show
an enormous growth of the wool interest
in Lyon as compared with other coun-
ties throughout the state:
The Improvements in the wool mar,
ket continues up to the present time, and
prices have advanced on different classes
of stock from 10 to 40 per cent. beyond
May quotations. The surplus of goods
has been worked off and the opportuni-
ties for the future of woolens much
improved. Our advice to farmers is TO
sell promptly.
The excitement of the past two months
has been so strong that decided specu-
lative movement has been developed, and
prices must sooner or later decline un.
der the influence of dull market which
must follow the present unusual ac-
tivity.
A strong speculative element in Texas
has bought up the entire clip. The con
dition of western woods particularly is
better than usual, and they are in active
demand at present

A Washington telegram states that
Secretary Sherman has examined the
Legislative appropriation bill as it passed
the senate in its amended form, and says
no difficulty in constituting it was expe-
rienced, nor is there any difficulty In
carrying out its provisions anticipated.
This indicates that the President will
not veto the appropriation bills IN the
shape that the Democrats have finally
put them, and that the "war congress-
is over for the balance of the season.
