Another Thirty-MiIe Race.

Henry Peppers, the young colored
rider who won the 30-mile contest on
Saturday last, is desirous of another
chance OF proving his superiority over
other long-distance champions, and
he is anxious to join in the forthcom-
ing race between William Mcconnell
Of Oakland and Ben Clark of this
city, which is set for decision at an
early date. He is willing to make ii
a three-cornered sweepstakes OF $3.50
aside, and has behind him a gentle
man with sufficient faith in his ability
to furnish the necessary stake money
Should Clark and Mcconnell be will.
ing for him to enter, it will be neces-
sary for them to postpone the contest
for a short period to allow Peppers
making the necessary arrangements,
and if this will not suit their plans
the colored champion is willing to ride
the winner for any amount up to $500
side. On hearing definitely from
them he will Immediately post for
felt to bind match, so the winner of
the forthcoming Oakland contest will
undoubtedly have a diaicult task to
perform.

OXENA.

OXENA.
OzHna is the professional or technical
| name given to an advanced form of catarrh
in which liberation has eaten through the
| membrane lining of the nose to the cartil-
lage of the bone. Any case of catarrn may
| end in ozpna, but it most frequently oc.
ours in those who are naturally scrofulous
the discharge taks place through the nos
| trils or through the throat, and is generally
OF a yellowish or greenish-yel'ow color,
frequently tinged with blood, and almost
always attended by an offensive smell. In
| the language of DR.. Wood, Of Philadelphia,
1.-THE disease is one of the most Obdurate
| and disagreeable which the physician has
to encounter. In bal cases the breath of
the patient becomes so revolving as to iso-
late him from society, and render him an
object of distrust even to himself"
In someinstances pieces of bone becom
separate and slough off, leaving deep, un-
healthy ulcers, which secrete bloody ma t.
ter, and are extremely difficult to heal.
After ozona has continued some time the
sense of smell becomes impaired and often
lost
Deafness is one OF the most common con
sequences and r suits from it's extension
through the eusvschian tube to the internal
ear.
Pains in the head and over the frontal
sinuses impsiring memory, and even in
sanity frequently springs from its exten-
sion to the brain.
The great danger, however, because the
IN Ost common. is that it will extend down.
ward ana affect the lungs. In most cases
OF pulmonary disease catarrh is present to
some degree, and in many instances 1t
causes large share of the patients dis
comfort,
Besides these grave consequences. all Of
which are liable TO spring from scrof
uious catarry of Ozoena, there are Others
which, If less dangerous, are sufficiently
unpleasant. 1t occasions great unhappi-
them and preventing their settlement in
life: An offensive running from the nose,
with foul breath, is about as great a calam-
ity as can befall young people. Every dis
ease OF tals KIND can be cured by our new
system of practice.
I have seen 50 many OF these cases cured
that do not consider any case hopeless,
unless both lungs are seriously involved.
Even then the Limitations aid us in dissolv-
ing the mucus and in contracting and heal
ing the cavities which nothing can do
with the same success.
The very best reference from those al
ready cured.
CONSULTATION FREE
Those who desire to consult with me in
regard to their cases had better call at the
Office for consultation and examination,

DEATH AND DESERTION.
A Deserted Wife Destroys Hel
own Life.

i
The inquest over the remains oi
Mrs. Phila Kirkpatrick was held al
Coroner Meredith's Office yesterday
evening. The verdict rendered by
the jury substantiates that the de-
ceased died from the effects of an
overdose Of morphine taken during a
spell of great mental depression, with
the intention of committing suicide.
DR.. E. 7. Shoemaker, Chas. Tupper,
Mr.. Frazier and Mrs. Ella Lindsey
were the witnesses. The evidence
adduced was to the effect that Mr..
and Mrs. Kirkpatrick occupied a
house with the Lindsleys on SAVOY
street, near the Southern Pacific
depot, since the 18th of July last.
During their residence there they ap-
peared to be on agreeable terms with
their neighbors and with each other.
The husband was switchman in the
employ of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, an honest, sober, industrious
man. Their life was apparently
happy; at least no complaint was
ever uttered by one about the other.
But a change came over this happy
home last Sunday evening which will
perhaps forever remain unexplained
The wife on Monday morning told hel
neighbor, Mrs. Lindsey, that hel
husband had packed his trunk
on Sunday evening and was
going to leave her forever
She assigned no reason TO,
this determination on his part, but il
was inferred from her remarks that
they had quarreled. True to his wore
kirkpatrick was seen to leave the
house with his trunk, leaving no wore
except that he was going to San Fran
cisco to draw his pay, and that he
would never return. About ten min.
utes after the husbands departure
Mrs. Kirkpatrick left the house also
telling Mrs. Lindsey she was going t.
Mrs. Tupper's, at 15S Ann street, anc
that she would not return to bel
rooms any more. 1t appears that be-
fore going to Mrs. Tupper's she frs
visited Horne & Abel's drug store
where she procured the fatal drug
which she used to end her troubles
Mrs. Upper was not in when she az
rived at her house. but when Mr.. Tup'
per returned from his work at about
80 P. NJ, he found Mrs. Is fitzpatrick
lying on sofa in the parlor and weep
ing bitterly. He inquired as to hel
troubles, and she told him about hel
husbands desertion, and stated that
she could not live to endure the hui
initiation. Directly she said she
wanted to sleep, and ere long she fell
into a fitful slumber. Mr.. Upper
did not at first suspect that she
had taken anything, but by
and by it dawned upon
him that she had taken
poison. He called Mr.. Frazier then
and went for DR.. Shoemaker who al.
rived at 6 10, but too late to stay the
work of the death-producing potion
At about O'Clock she expired. An
attempt was made to intercept the
husband by telegraph, but it is moi
known whether the message reached
him. However, those who know him
looked for b is return last night. The
rooms occupied by the Kirkpatricks
have not been opened since the trag-
edy. The last statements of the de-
ceased indicated that jealousy was the
cause of.the husbands desertion.

"The Deacon's Daughter, Draws
Big Houses.

Big Houses.
Another large house assembled at
the Grand last night to see Miss Pix
ley in The Deacon's Daughter. The
favorite is very clever artistic, doing
many things well. Her Yankee
accent, her finished elocution, her
naiuets as the country girl, her sing
ing, whether it be an ambitious
selection, or Negro melody and her
graceful dancing are all finished in
their art, and in all respects. Miss
Pixley is supported by a carefully
selected company. All details of
makeup and setting are carefully at
tended to, and the piece runs
smoothly without a flaw. Each mem
Der OF the company is cast to the part
SO that it fits like garment. The ap-
probation Of the audience was ex.
pressed with yociferous and demon
statIve attestation that the people
were delighted. The attraction holds
