SOLDERING Horses.

Some horses will slobber nearly all
they eat; others when they eat certain
plants, usually in early summer, and
others are never. known to do so.
Horses thus affected will, when their
diet is much restricted, sometimes cease
the habit. Clean timothy and ed.top
hay, and clean oats fed in the straw
(clean meaning free from weeds or 9TH
er plants,) will usually cause . con-
iirmcd case of soldering to stop tenn
porarily. A little clover, clover hay,
rag-weed in the oats, and many other
weeds, are liable to start it again, in
fact, will be quite sure to do so. Thus
1t IL clear that the tendency is constitu.
tional in the animal, that q cause that
would excite soldering in one animal
will not affect another, and that it is
excited by different plants which the
horse II e' for food, either in the green
or dry state. Besides, the habit is said
to come from partial paralysis of the
nerves of the face, or of one side of tho
face. Usually, however, it comes from
some article of food, and it is more
often caused by the second growth
clover than anything else. Veterinarians
have recommended astringents to be
employed in solution, the mouth being
washed with decoction of oakbark,
wilchhaacl, alum, etc., but no pcrma
nent benefit comes from these applica-
tons, Partial relief has been expert.

The Last Mans Clnb.

The death of Robert Riddle, of No.
l,337 Hanover street, on Sunday, leaves
hut four survivors Of the original Last

the last four being tho only survivors.
1t was agreed when the club was or
ganizcd that on the I'd of January of each
year the members should all attend a
supper, and that a regular organization
should DO maintained until the death of
all the members, tho last survivor to take
the club effects to his home as a me-

arrest of johnnie Brockschmidt, son OF the
Third street saloon keeper and doctor, and
Il young man well-known in this city, and
a couple oil his pals, whose names

their preliminary trial, but owing to the
absence OF material witnesses, the trial was
postponed until tomorrow.
The father OF Johnny went up to see him
out of the scrape, taking Capt. l.. l..
Bridges along as his attorney.
To-day, DIR. Bockschmidt was seen by a
BAzOo reporter, to whom the doctor said
that there was no evidence against
his son; that he was only
held ON suspicion, having been
found in company with the other two
young men, against whom there is very
strong evidence. Officer belong also went
to Clinton, yesterday, to see if he could, in
connection with Mr.. Kahrs, identity the
men as the parties who forced MIR. Kahrs,
at the end Of pistol, to open his safe and
deliver up his money, some TIVE months
ago. The Identification was not made.

ALLEGED DISCRETION.
William Miller, the Plasterer, Be-
ing Sought After by His
Wife.

Another case of alleged wife desertion
was reported Ia the police this morning.
Early last fall Mr.. William Miller, plas-
terer, aged thirty-seven years, was married
to Miss Melinda Graham, daughter OF
Nicholas Graham, who resides in String
town, opposite Pohl's brick yard.
Miller arrived here little more than a
wear ago from Texas, and has been engaged
in business with George Noftsker. Alter
marriage he made his home with his faith
er-in-law, and their welded life has been,
to outside appearances, all that either
could have wished for.
For the past two weeks Mrs. Miller has
been quite i'll, requiring the services
of physician. Yesterday the doc
tor called upon her and left
prescription to be filled, but
Miller neglected looking after it until
about 9 O'Clock last evening. At that
time he left his wife I'm the care of the
nurse, and said he would GO up town and
have the prescription prepared. He put on
his overcoat, placed his pistol in his
pocket and took his departure, and has
not been seen since that time
Some time after midnight the sick
woman had her father, Mr.. Graham,
called, and he started In search OF the
missing husband. He called upon the
police, but none of them had seen: him. am
he was unable to obtain even a clue as to
where he had gone.
In conversation with BAzOo reporter
this morning, Mr.. Graham said he was
convinced that ii was a case OF wife de-
sertion, and he was of the opinion that
Miller had boarded the 1890 train, last
night, for some point east. He thinks
Miller had quite a sum OF money in his
possession, and that st. Louis is his des-
tinztion.
