The Use of Large Quantities of Alcohol
ESmphstically Condemned.
In a paper in the Revue Scientifique
describing his recent researches and ex-
periments regarding the bits Of poison
Gus snakes, Prof. Kaufman advises that
in the treatment of bite the injured
limb should be tightly bound above the
bite as quickly as possible, with hand
kerchief or any other available con-
strictor, and that then 1-to-2 solution
of chronic acid should be injected deep
into the wound, making several similar
injections in the neighborhood Of the
wound. II these directions are care
fully followed, the poison will
be destroyed before being alb
sorbed. If there is already much
swelling Of the wound more in
jections should be made in various
parts of the swelling, which should then
be manipulated to bring the acid thor
oughly into contact with the poison.
The swelling should then be freely
lanced and as much as possible Of the
fluid squeezed out The skin should
be washed with the chronic acid solu-
ton, followed by the application Of
congresses saturated with the solution.
If the swelling returns, these proceed
ures should be repeated. This local
treatment should be supplemented by
the internal administrator of alco-
holic stimulants and aqua ammonia.
Prof. Kaufman, however, strongly con-
dennis the use of large quantities Of
alcohol, which, he thinks, paralyze and
depress the nervous system.

AT THE FIRST NJ. E. CHURCH.

A large and earnest congregation assem-
bled at the First NJ E. church, and the
exercises were of special interest, particu-
larry to the members Of the church.
From 7:3O to 8 o'clock praise and song
service was led by Mr. Shauer, whose solo
singing has proved so attractive feature
of the meetings. His rendering of the
song Nothing but Leaves" last night was
unusually impressive. At the conclusion
of the song service Mr.. Shawhan preached
another of his vivid, telling, practical ser
mons. His theme was: "Crucifed with
Christ" No report of such a dis
course could do it justic, but it
WAS evident when the invitation
to come forward to the altar was given
that the plain and direct speech had reach
ed many hearts and had aroused many to
desire to step out into better Christian
experience. In few moments the altar
was crowded with anxious seekers, Chris
tians and those seeking the blessing OF
salvation. The altar service was most i'm
pressive and many were converted
The meeting was the most powerful of
the series.
Today from to 4 O'Clock there will be
special services conducted by the evangel-
lists, and at 7:3O this evening. All are cor
daily invited Come this evening and
take part in the preliminary service OF
prayer and song.

A BAD RUNAWAY.


The large blooded team of Phillip Mid
dleton took fright yesterday near
Schwartz's coal yard on the West Side and
made terrific dash west on Chicago ave-
nue.. Officer Guyer saw them approach
ing and shouted to Miss Snively, who was
driving in the street, to turn out of the
way of the furious animals. She became
bewildered and, apparently, lost control OF
her hands, and in an instant the heavy
team and wagon colided with her buggy.
She was thrown out with great force from
her seat to the ground and the buggy was
broken into smithereens. Three of the
wheels were reduced to splinters, the
shafts were broken, the canopy torn to
pieces, and altogether it was the worst
wreck seen on the West Side for long
time.
1t was thought at first that Miss Snively
was seriously wounded, as it did not seem
possible that she could escape without be-
ing badly injured; but strange as it may
seem, when Officer Guyer raised her from
the ground he found that she had not re-
ceived a scratch. 1t was the most miracu-
lous escape the officer ever witnessed.

LONESOME JUSTICE JONES.

Today is the 267l b anniversary of the
discovery of New Zealand and the seventy
seventh anniversary of its settlement by
the English, and there is not a man in
Wichita but Justice Jones TO celebrate
both events, for he is not only native of
New Zealand by birth. but his father was
an English settler. 1t seems pity that
the justice can't have company in duly
celebrating the two great epochs in his
country's history.
New Zealand is British colony in the
Sout Pacific ocean. discovered and named
by a Dutch navigator, Tasman, in 1924
Various navigators, French and English,
visited the islands afterwards but in 1914

master Frank Hollis of that city. These
gentlemen report progress in their neigh

ally. Much of this years crop of wheat is
yet unthreshed, but the yield exceeds the
expectations of the farmers. A large acre
age of fall wheat is now out and more be-
ing put out. The farmers have learned
that the late sown wheat has no fly. The
wheat acreage is the largest put out for
years.

A FINE TEAM STOLEN.

James H Forsythe, farmer near Peck,
had quite an experience the night before
last. About IL o'clock his dog began bark
ing furiously and knowing there was
something wrong, he dressed and went
out to see what was the matter.
When he got outside the door and
around the corner of the house he saw two
men mounted on his fine span of horses
and ready to depart. He hailed them and
demanded of them to surrender the horses
TO him at once but one of them pulled
revolver and made him go about 100 yards
in the opposite direction from the house
aud. of course, he complied under such
emphatic persuasion. When he had done
so the thieves put the whip to the horses
aud ga!loped away. Mr.. Forsythe imme-
diately walked to neishbor's house and
ave he alarm. a pair of horses were
saddled at once and the thieves followed.
They were traced to Clearwater but there
all track of them was lost Thinking
they had turned towards Wichita. Mr.
Forsythe beaded this way, but before he
had proceeded far he met fellow farmer
who told him that he had seen the thieves
about daybreak beading for the west
The team was valued at about 500 and
will be great loss TO Mr.. Forsythe if he
cannot find them for be is poor man.
The farmer who gave the Information TO
Mr.. Forsythe on the road reported the
matter here 10 the officers yesterday and
had them telegraph the details of the bold
theft and the description of The thieves
and horses TO the officers OF Stafford and
Reno counties
