They Have Effectual Remedies for Parasites
and Insect Bites
New Orleans Picayune.
Animals get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those suf-
fering from fever restrict their diet, keep
quiet, seek dark airy places, drink water, ,
and sometimes plunge into it. When a
dog has lost its appetite it eats that spe-
cies of grass known as dogs grass, which
acts as an emetic and a purgatiVe. Cats
also eat grass. Sheep and cows when
i'll seek out certain herbs. An animal
suffering from chronic rheumatism al
ways keeps, as far as possible, in the sun.
The warrior ants have regular organ
lied ambulances. Latreille cut the an
Uenne of the ant, and the other ants
came and covered the wounded part with
a transparent fluid secreted in their
mouths. If a chimpanzee is wounded it
stops the bleeding by placing its hand on
the wound or dressing it with leaves and
grass When an animal has a wounded
leg or arm hanging on it completes the
amputation by means of its teeth. A
dog being stung on the muZzle by a viper
was observed to plunge its head re-
peatedly for several days in running
water. This animal eventually recoY-

terrier hurt its right eye. 1t re-
manned under counter, avoiding light
and heat, although it habitually kept
close to the fire. 1t adopted a general
treatment, rest and abstinence from
food The local treatment consisted in
licking the upper surface of the paw,
which it applied to the wounded eye,
again licking the paw when it became
dry. Animals suffering from trau-
matte fever treat themselves by
the continued application of cold
water, which Nj. Delaunay considers to
be more certain than any of the other
methods. In view of these interesting
facts we are, he thinks, forced to admit
that hygiene and therapeutics, as pro-
posed by animals, may in the interest of
psychology, be studied with advantage.
Many physicians have been keen OBJ
servers of animals, their diseases and the
methods adopted by them in their won
derful instinct to cure themselves, and
have awaited themselves of the knowledge
so obtained in their own practice.

PALESTINE, TEX. Jan. II Yesterday
being Sunday, it did not become gener-
ally known until this morning that on
Saturday night there was bold attempt
at robbery and brutal attempt to muir
der one OF our good citizens, Mr.. Robert
Harris, living in West Palestine. About
o 'clOck the barking of Mr.. Harris
dog awakened him. Observing the
window curtain near his bed to move
suspiciously he watched it, and presently
saw through the window which had been
raised the face of a man. He Ieaped
from his bed and made for the door near
by, hoping to catch the man before he
got off of the premises, AS soon as he
opened the door partially another man
opened fire on him with a revolver, firing
five shots, and then taking to his heels
The first shot passed through a portion of
the door, and struck Mr.. Harris on
the right arm near the shoulder.
Three of the shots were fired
before he could close the door in the face
of his assailant, and one fired after the
door was shut struck him on the left
shoulder, doing no more harm than pro-
ducing violent shock. The scoundrels
had gone into Mr. George II Matthews
yard close by and cut limb from fig
tree to use in getting Mr.. Harris pants
from the foot of the bed and it proving
too short they had procured long scant-
ling for the purpose, which was found
with one end resting on the window sill
Mr.. Harris saw both men plainly, but
could not recognize them. 1t is thought
they were tramps.

ADJUSTMENTS.
CRAWFORD GRAND.

The "Old Homestead" was presented
last night at the Crawford Grand to a
large house. Archie Boyd as Joshua
Whitcomb," the New England farmer, in
terpreted the role to perfection and was
supported by strong company. The
third act showing Grace church at night,
elected rounds of applause. The scene of
the play is in New Hampshire and an
evening with those old fashioned, honest
people carried every one back to the time
before they got too rich to remember their
poor relations. The popularity of the "Old
Homestead" is easily understood and it is
in the category of pieces that never grow
old A pleasing combination OF pathos
and humor is shown to advantage and sus-
tains the interest Throughout. Mr.. Boyd
characterizes his part with an originality
that will associate him with
Joshua Whitcomb" in the minds of
the public and will sustain his reputation
as an able actor. The Old Homestead will
be presented again tonight for the last
time

In MEMORIAM.
HE giyeth His beloved Sleep"


Mrs Henrietta S. Fleeman fell asleep
born in Buffalo, N. Y, March IA, 1851 On
the 18th of November. 1877, she became
the wife of Mr.. A. Fleeman, Of the same
city. They have three children, with two
Of whom the mother is now reunited, and
one, dear little girl, is left to bless and
comfort her father with her sweet pres
ence. Mr.. Fleeman has been connected
with the Dold Packing company for many
years, at Buffalo. n. Y, Harrisburg, Pa,
and in this city. In January. 1885, he
came to Wichita and was joined by Mrs.
Fleeman in March following. Although
a resident of this city but a short time.
her loving and amiable qualities had made
themselves felt, not only in her own home,
but among all those who had learned to
know her and many who weep with those
who mourn, shed tears not only of SYM
pathy, but of grief at the departure of her
whom they had learned to love.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Fleeman was
called to Buffalo by the tidings of the
death of his father During his absence a
new sorrow came to Mrs. Fleeman in
the news of the death of her
mother at Cleveland, Ohio, Novem-
Der q. On Tuesday evening. December
3, Mr.. Fleeman returned to Wichita, and
was met at the train by his wife and little
daughter. The little family circle was
drawn the more closely together by the
sorrows through which they had passed,
and through the dark clouds, happy in
their reunited home, they looked forward
into the coming years with hopeful hearts.
On the following day the great sorrow
through which they had passed brought
about a physical prostration, from which
Mrs. Fleeman did not rally, and on
Wednesday last, about noon. she went to
join her parents and little ones, in that
world where ''there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor crying; neither
shall there be any more pain"
In the presence of such Affections,
human sympathy feels how powerless it is,
but there are many, who with sincere
hearts share in the sorrow of those, who
are bereft.
Mrs. Fleeman's sister is on the way from
Cleveland, O., to attend the funeral. which
will take place on Friday, at 2:SO p. M,
from the residence of Mr.. Fleeman, corner
of Waco avenue and Twentieth street.
The burial service of the Lutheran church
will be conducted by Rev. w. L. Sea-
brook

FROM THE POOR FARM TO A WHITE
COTTAGE.

Some days ago Mr.. William Dudley
superintendent of the Door farm received a
letter from W. II. England of Harper
making inquiry if there was any one in his
charge who would make good wife
Dudley handed the letter to Mrs. Anna
Hamilton, expecting that he would not
hear of the matter again although some
what impressed with the contents of the
letter. 1t seems the letter was duly
answered by Mrs Hamilton and Tuesday
morning last Dudley was surprised when
he was accosted by a young man who said
his name was w. H. England of Harper
and had come to get married. He was
soon afterwards introduced to Mrs. Hamil-
ton. Taking dinner at the poor farm they
came to the city and were married by
Judge Buchner that afternoon and that
evening went to Harper.
Mrs. Hamilton has lived in the county
about six years her husband dying three
years ago. She was forty-two years old
but according to Mr.. Dudley and DR.
Durand WAS rather good looking. For
some months she has been assisted by the
county England is twenty-four years
old, stout cheerful looking fellow, a
section boss on the Southern Kansas, is
said to be rather saving young man and
has small bank account.

AFTER SUGAR IN EARNEST.

From gentleman who arrived from
Kingman last evening it was learned that
the Kingman County Sugar company has
just been organized with Charles II.
Eldred, of Medicine Lodge, president.
ing men of large wealth. both in the east
and in the west.
Before embarking in this enterprise they
made a thorough study of the work at
Medicine Lodge. and finding that salts
factory profit had been realized on the first
seasons work, decided to submit PROPOSE
tons to the city of Kingman and several
townships of the county to erect a large
central plant at Kingman, with branches
in such locations as TO bring the benefits of
the market for cane and beets within reach
of as large a number of people as possible.
The people of Klngman county
are to be congratulated on their
good fortune in receiving propositions
from the Medicine Lodge company with
its additions which together constitute
the Kingmsn county sugar company. Yet
only did this company make the largest
profit the present season ever realized in
the sorghum sugar business but their
and promptness 80 that farmers and others
doing business with them are never in
conyenienced by delays of payment.
The fact having been demonstrated at
Medicine Lodge that by proper selection
of seed, proper culture and proper handling
the sugar beet can be produced with
as large a percentage of sugar as it
attains in Germany is one of great import
ance since the season for harvesting the
beets commences near the close of the cane
harvest SO that we shall have a sugar
manufacturing season of five or six
months.
