Salt as a Dissipnfion-

Salt, the least harmful OF condiments,
II such q necessary article Of diet can Be
termed condi1neut, is by the medical
profession recognized as a species Of dis
sipation in its excessive use by many
women. Every one knows how fat and
favorless all food becomes when the sys-
tenn Is trife derznged. It Is Just then,
when men resort to bitters and burning
sauces TO tone up their faded appetites,
that women find their sole recourse IN
the apparently innocsnt salt cruet. It's
the old story Of giving an inch to yield
an ell, and before the victim knows it
her palate demands 8 double or triple
quantity Of the mineral to SAVIOR every
morsel she eats
Some go SO far as TO salt not only tho
substantial dishes, but tea, coffee. fruit,
nuts, sweetmeats and wines. They be-
gin by taking pinch now and then TO
pique their tastes, and before long steal
bit TO keep in tho pocket, or buy a
crystal to nibble on the ely. Natures
revenge on her weak daughter is a. in

OBITUARY..

+. NJ Herman was born in MOnongahela
City, Washington county, Pa, on August
Z. 1854 He was reared on a farm near
that place and, for a number of years, was
engaged in business in his native town. Be
ing young man of excellent qualities he
was much liked and admired by all who
knew him, and formed friendships, the
ties of which were only severed by death.
About ten years ago he came west because
of declining health, his health never hav-
ing been good On May 20, 1886, he was
united in marriage to Miss Myra l.. Gather,
an estimable young lady and successful
school teacher, who at that time was fol
lowing the profession at Andover, Butler
county, Kan, where T. NJ Herman resided
but she was originally from West Vir-
ginia. She was to him a faithful and low
ing wife, while he was to her noble and
good husband. They lived in AndOver a
year; from thence they removed to WiCh-
ita, Kan, he engaging for time in real
estate, after which he and his brother, 5.
B. Herman, were engaged in the grocery
business. The confinement was very in
furious 70 him, and his health grew worse
after a time it became necessary for him to
give up business, being afflicted with that
dreaded disease, consumption, which
seemed to be hereditary, he having lost
brother with the same trouble.
Hoping to avoid the worst by getting
away from that which was detrimental to
his health, he removed to Conway Springs,
which is considered somewhat of a health
resort. But too late, the disease had made
such inroads upon his system that it was
impossible to regain health or strength.
While Frustrated on bed of sickness he
did not murmur or complain, but was one
of the most patient sufferers, never seem
ing grateful enough to his faithful wife,
who was a constant attendant at his bed
side, administering to his every want. He
expressed himself as being perfectly re-
signed to the will of God, if called to die,
yet preferred to live. But God in his good
ness saw proper to take him from this
earth and his friends are left TO mourn
their loss.
Those of us who knew him best feel that
we have lost a precious jewel, constant
and faithful friend. The deceased leaves a
wife. father and mother, two sisters and a
brother.
Peace be to him and may his soul bask
in the eternal sunlight of Gods presence.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

An accident that came near being a
serious one in a double sense occurred a
the Thirteenth street crossing of the Mis-
souri, Pacific track Wednesday evening y
couple of gentlemen were driving west on
that street and in crossing the track one of
the horses fore feet slipped into gap
between one of the rails and the timber
alongside and became fast In its efforts
to extricate its foot the horse foundered
and fell, breaking the shafts 10 the buggy
and bruising itself to some extent. Just
then a train was discovered approaching at
a lively speed and it looked for a few
moments that there would be a catas-
trophe, but with the prompt and energetic
assistance of the men the horses foot was
lOosed and the track cleared just in time TO
escape the approaching train. To the
surprise of the gentlemen the horses leg
was not broken. as seemed inevitable at
the time it fell
The existence of such a break in the
grade crossing Is next TO criminal negli-
geuce on the part of the railway employee
whose business it i 10 look after such
matters. Had there been fatal results
from the accident there would have been
good ground for an action for damages
against the railroad company. As il was,
the negligence put the owner Of the turn
out 10 serious inconvenience and some eN-
penSe TO repairs the damage TO his vehicle.

POISONING CASE.

A case of poisoning was reported last
night on North Main street, but at last
accounts all three of the females seemed
likely to recover. The police, who are
pretty good doctors in such cases, pro-
nounced it case of alcoholic poisoning,
but the physicians afterwards regarded
the matter as more serious, finding traces
of arsenic. James Macken, hailing from
Guthrie, and who, according to his own
statement, came here to buy rye, was
present on the preceding night and
was arrested yesterday on sus-
pIcion. He says he went to 334 North
Main street, taking a bottle of whisky
with him and that he and the inmate 5
drank it and beer as we'll He does not
think there was anything wrong with the
whisky and that he has suffered no i'll eff
fects from it himself. Ifthey are poisoned
he knows nothing about it and does not
care anything about the consequences.

THE PICNIC.
The members of the normal institute
held their annual picnic yesterday after
noon at Riverside park. Not all the
teachers were in attendance, but those
who were enjoyed the occasion greatly.
Some who live in country were preparing
to go home in the afternoon, while others
deemed it necessary to make little more
preparation for the coming examination
These latter labored under a mistaken
idea, for the rest and recreation to be had
in the breezy freshness of the woods would
have been better than an afternoon of
hard study. The faculty kindly furnished
the picnicers with load of watermelOns,
which were artistically dissected and
amply discussed. The cup impovised
from "a watermelon rind revealed talent
hitherto unsupported in one of the pro-
fessorS.

EMPTY HOUSES,

A gentleman who has recently moved to
Wichita was out house hunting yesterday
and reports desirable houses very scarce.
He found very few houses, even in the
suburbs, that were built for people to live
in. He was willing to give it as his opin-
ion that there would not be a vacant house
in the city in three months if the parties
owning the many frames in the suburbs
would make them habitable. Many resi-
dences that present a tolerable appearance
from distance are without the ordinary
conveniences of life. \ closet is a rarity,
and in many instances the water i pump
ed from a well in the back yard sunk, pos
sibly, eight feet. Your family physician
warns you against typhoid fever, and your
wife wants some place to hang things up
The consequence is there are lots of empty
houses, and every day people are looking
for homes. The whole fault lays with the
landlords, who kick because people are not
willing to pay handsome rents for the priv
ilege of living in a she'll.
