his business was good there. He heard
about the regatta at Moline, so he told
me he was going to come here, and that
could go where | pleased, as he didn't
want anything more to do with me. OF
course I cried, for why shouldn't /? We
have only been married about six months,
| and love him passionately. He left me
at the hotel without q cent of money,
and started for this place.
II borrowed some money from a gen
tleman who boarded at the Brown house,
and here l am. Now you have got
my whole story, will you help me?"
Escorting the little lady to the police sta
ton, Chief Miller was sent for and into
that gentleman's ear her tale of woe was
again poured out. The chief promised to
do all he could to aid her, and a search
was made in the city for the recreant
husband. 1t was found that he had been
here Friday morning, and stopped at the
Commercial house, but that he had gone
away about 10 o'clock the same day. The
chief then got the woman in the patrol
wagon and went up to Moline and secuted
over that bucolic village looking for him,
but in vain. He had never been there,
leastwise no trace of him could be found.
The woman remained in Moline on Satur-
day night, but came down to this city
yesterday afternoon, and is now stopping
at Third avenue boarding house. Her
husband has probably gone where the
wood bine twineth, and will never return.
There are several discrepancies in her
story that appear to make her tale a
little fishy, She told an ARGUS reporter
last evening that lots of times she had to
steal money from her husband. She said
that Spitzeen always had plenty of money
and she had stolen as high as $3.50 from
him at time. This is probably the
reason he left her, thinking that it was
better to have no wife to steal his money
than wife who would steal all he had,
and then sigh for the whole universe.

Good to Paste in Your Hat


An intelligent and reliable gentleman
who read the account in The Republican
of yesterday of the sufferings of Mr..
Charles Traught from the bite of cop
perhead snake, suggests remedy He
says he has known several cases of snake
bites cured by the application of raw on
ions and salt macerated and applied as 8
poultice, and has never known or heard
of failure when this remedy was used
The gentleman who gives this infor>
nation suggests that the same remedy
might be of service to persons bitten by
mad dogs. 1t is at least worth the trial,

K has hitherto stood for Kentucky and
killing; but III now stands for murder and
Michigan. Two are committed every
week in the state, and scarcely a month
passes by when some one is not killed in
Detroit. Wife murder just at present is
the prevailing style; but last winter it ran
to the butchery Of families. 1t is not a
Southern paper that says this, but the
Detroit Post and Tribune.

The Value of Oranges.

Throughout the entlre range of fruits
that have attracted the attention of the
medical profession as a means of allevat.
ing many of the ills that human nature
is heir to, there has been found none
that have so many and Oversize uses
as the luscious and succulent orange
Particularly is this 81 in all cases of low
malarial complaints which are SO preva.
lent in climates where sudden changes of
temperature frequently occur. The
use OF oranges as an anti-febrine
is recommended generally through.
out the civilized world, and has largely
taken the place Of unpalatable drugs so
frequently used to the great disgust of
the taker. No fruit compares in cheap.
ness with the beautiful and luscious or.
ange, particularly on this coast, where
the finest oranges in the world are pro-
dnced in immense quantities and sold at
prices so low as to be within the reach
OF the most moderate purse. All classes
OF fevers can be prevented by the daily
use Of oranges, and no one should fail on
this coast to avail themselves of the Cd.
portunity to continue in health when
the means TO do so are so cheap, handy
and beneficial. -Aha CalJornia.l
