Death of M. Rutman.

The wife of Charles Butman died at
Manchester, New Hampshire. on the
2lst inst, after an illness of but few
days, with malarial fever. She left
here with her husband last month
on visit to her old home, and the first
intimation her friends here received of
her sickness, was a dispatch to Mr. ii.
n. Bailey, announcing her death. Mis-
Butman was well known here, where
she resided quite while, and had a
large list of friends. Her husband is
engaged with III. \. Bailey in stock
raising and farming, on Driftwood.
southwest Of here The Manchester
Union, of the 22d inst, has this 10 say
Of Mrs. Butman's death: 1.-The shock
of sudden death of one greatly below
ed is always terrible, and never was this
fact more sorrowfully realized than this
morning when it was made known that
during the night Ida L., beloved wife
OF Charles Ii. Butman, had passed from
life to death and that her face would be
seen among her companions no more
forever. To those who knew of her ill
ness, the shock was in degree lessen
ed, but to all there came the feeling that
one had gone whose place i'll their affec-
tions could never be filled. Mr.. and
Mrs. Butman left their western home.
Medicine Lodge, Kansas, five weeks
ago, yesterday, and arrived here four
weeks ago last Tuesday. Aside from a
tired feeling, attributed to the journ-
ey, Mrs. Butman did not complain of
i'll health until two weeks ago Tuesday,
when she was stopping with her hus-
bands mother, on the corporation. She
complained then OF pains in her head
and shoulders and as these did not leave
her, she was finally removed To her old
home, corner of Hanover street and
Mammoth road, and Il physician sum
m0ned. Iler Illness, despite the latter's
efforts, gradually became more severe,
and last Tuesday she became uncOn-
sclOuS. She remained i'll this state eX-
cept with very brief intervals ever since,
ana her death at last must have been a
glad relief from the agony of pain in
which she lay. The deceased, was ma
tive OF this city and was a daughter of
William NJ, and Lucinda Emery
Plummer. Her age was ~ years, 5
months and - days She graduated
from the Manchester III "a school Ia the
class of rs, the same Class in which her
husband graduated. she being the youn-
geSt and one of its brightest members.
she married Charles H. Bulman IN Jan
uary, 1880, and it was just four yeai S
ago yesterday that the young couple ar
rived at Medicine Lodge. Mrs Butmau
left, beside her husband, father and
mother, three sisters. Mrs. John John
son. of WaterjOwn, Mass. Mrs. George
\. Mason. of Boston, ard Mrs. Levi
Proctor, of this city"

Col. Croker.

Col. Sam1. Crocker, editor of the
Oklahoma War Chief. addressed a
large audience at the opera house in
this city, last Friday night He spoke
strictly as a nOn-partisan and while al
vising his hearers to disregard party
lines in electing men to Office, he was
ont-spoken in his praise of Thomas
George, tue democratic candidate for
congress and told the workingmen,
anti-mOnopolists and Knights of Labor
that they should vote for him. And
he gave good reasons tor this advice.
He said that Mr.. George stood fairly
and squarely in favor of the issues that
the Knights of Labor are fighting for:
that he, George, favored the repeal of
the national banking law; that he was
IN favor Of the government issuing the
currency Of the country; that he was
opposed TO high protective tariff and
against The encrOachments of monop-
oily in every shape or form; he had so
declared himself publicly on these ques-
lions and he deserved the snoort of
every antI-mOnopolist Col. Croker
spoke for two hours and held his audi
ence spell-bOund. He also gave his ex-
perience i'll Oklahoma; told of his ar
rest and imprisonment and blamed
Judge Peters for not protesting against
the arrest and Imprisonment of his con-
stituents when they had violated no
law. He also charged that Judge Pc
tiers only declared in favor of opening
Oklahoma when lie found that it was
the great and popular issue in South
western Kansas; that up to this canvass
he had avoided the interest entirely or
had opposed the opening of Oklahoma.
Col. Croker made good impression
on his hearers and, by general request,
he returned here Sunday and delivered
an address under the auspices of of the
knights of Labor of this city, on the
moral influences of that order. lie had
a good house and impaired much infer

Barber county now has a broom fac

corn of the county. G. Z. Neill, who
lives nine miles southwest of Lodi, this

corn. and has worked it up into good

pacity of five dozen per day, and if ali

FaintinS,

The word swoon means tie same as
the medical term syncope. 1t is due
to the failure Of the heart to send the
necessary supply ofblood to the brain.
It may be partial, or complete.'
In the latter case, the person sud.
denly turns pale, and soon falls, with
loss OF consciousness and an appar-
ent stoppage Of the pulse and heart.
The breathing, too, is either imper-
ceptiblc, or occurs only in occasional
weak sighs. The patient, to the or
dinary observer, may seem to be dead.
OF course the action of the heart
has not ceased, but it is feeble. This
condition may last only few mo-
ments, or it may continue for hours.
It generally ends in recovery, begin
ming with slight movements of the
features and hands, and deep sighing.
The pulse becomes more distinct, and
the heart stronger. Color and
warmth return, and consciousness is
gradually restored in full.
Among the causes are organic dis
ease of the heart, especially fatty de-
generation; extreme heat, combined
with impure air; loss of blood, or i'm
poverished blood las in enemia); the
reflex action OF certain conditions of
the stomach or other organs on the
heart. More or less of these causes
are sometimes combined Some per.
sons faint from very slight causes-an
unpleasant sight or odor. We have
known persons to faint easily and
often, and yet enjoy good health to
extreme age. But when fainting is
due to organic disease of the heart,
or to loss Of blood, or to extreme
heat, it may prove speedily fatal un-
less soon relieved.
In it's treatment, lay the patient flat
on the back This favors the flow of
blood to the brain. We had friend
who could generally anticipate an at
tack, and check it, or cut it short, by
at once taking a recumbent position.
Never allow one who has tainted to be
lifted into a sitting posture, or to have
even the head raised.
Ii the fainting is due to excessive loss
OF blood, this of course must be ar
rested. Meanwhile manage to place
the head lower than the rest OF the
body. The heart, too, should estim-
ulated with some form of alcohol, n
monia, ether, or cologne water. :.
In all cases, secure the purest air,
and loosen the dress, especially. about
the chest and neck.
A writer in the Lancet says that in
many cases person accust omed to
faint from slight causes may avert the
attack by applying heat to the head.

ciety can be attained by an any man
who possesses asuit of evening clothes

a one will have no difficulty in getting
an invitation to an ordinary dance in

if possible have ugly daughters. He
must dance, or pretend to dance, as
