HOME AGAIN,

DR.. B. Y Boyd and wife returned yes
terdav from three months European
trip. They had pleasant return voyage
and feel very well after it. The doctor did
not see as much of Europe as he would
like as most of his time was occupied III
Vienna studying the latest in the medical
application of electricity. He speaks very
highly of the Vienna medical schools and
thinks their equals cannot be found any,
where else The scenery of Europe he
prouounces grand, but in other respects
that continent is a hundred years behind
the American age. When he told them
about the electrical appliances he had
in his institute they would hardly
believe him and We're perfectly
astonished London, he says. is wonder
full business city, and so are Paris, Berlin
and Vienna He wanted to 20 to Rome,
but he got too much interested in the
Vienna medical lectures and he thought
it more profitable to stay there. He says
he prefers to live in Kansas than any place
he has seen, and, by the way, speaking of
Kansas. verv few of the Europeans whom
he met had ever heard Of the state, al
though mostly all of them heard Of and
read about Wichita.

Cattle are excited by red because
that color is the complementary one To
green, and as the eyes of cattle are
nearly all day long fixed upon the
green of the heritage on which they
feed, articles of red color necessarily
impress their vision with greatly in
creased intensity, with the result of
causing them to be greatly excited.
Colors not only influence cattle, but
human beings also. On this point
some curious experiments were report
ed from Italy as to the effect of colors
on the nerves of the sick and insane.
In the hospital for insane at Alessan-
dria special rooms are arranged with
red or blue glass in the windows and
also red or blue paint on the walls. A
violent patient is brought suddenly
into blue room and left TO the effects
of that color on his nerves. One maniac
was cured in an hour; another was at
peace in his mind after passing a day
in a room all violet. The red room is
used for the commonest form of de-
mentia melancholy, usually accom-
panied by refusal tn take food. After
three hours in the red room a patient
afflicted in this way began TO be cheer
full and asked for food.-N. Y. sun.

HAS IOL.is RESlGN Z d?

1t was stated yesterday that H. 6. Toler
had Withdrawn his name from the Demo
cratic ticket and declines TO run for Office.
The facts are that Mr. Toler has not with.
drawn his name and very likely will not,
as he never accepted the nomination. Not
having accepted, he IS practically in the
same position that he was before The con-
vention.
Mr. Toler will probably not make the
race as he has sense enough to know that
no man but Republican candidate can
win in this county this year. He would
get good many votes il he consented to
make the race, for lie WAS fortunate
enough to have the enmjty of the fusion
organ at the outset, aud that is no small

a FAREW ELL.

One of the most enjoyable affairs of the
season was a farewell reception given IN
honor of Mrs. y. Dawson last evening at
her home, coo North Washington avenue.
Her many friends presented her with a
most handsome silver card case. Mr.. l..
Burns made an elaborate presentation
speech in behalf of her friends who had
gathered to spend their last evening in
her company. Those present were DR.. and
Mrs. Minick, Mr.. and Mrs. Humble, Mr..
and Mrs. Upton; Mesdames Thornton,
Barringer Brooks. Sheppard, c. H. Allen;
the Misses Della Wampler, Hattie Shep-
pard, Millie Beaver, Gertrude Nandine,
Gertrude Phillips, Louie Phillips. Maude
Allen, Sadie Milton, Nellie Humble,
Edith, Isabel and Ethel Brooks: Messrs
George Miller. l. Burns, Henry Seymore,
Earl Brooks. Milton Barringer. The even
ing was spent in games and music. Re-
freshments were served at 1880 O'Clock,
and it is free from IA doubt that they were
done just'c 10 by all; after which the young
folks engaged in dancing, accompanied by
the most melodius music, which was
rendered by Miss Maude Allen. Her
friends took their departure for their re-
spective homes, wishing Mrs. Dawson a
pleasant journey and happy greeting in
her future home in Chicago.

A THREATENED FIitE.

Last night during the heaviest portion
of the storm the woodwork of the store ol
w S. Norris caught fire and for time
things were pretty lively there. The fire
was not SO very serious, but everything
around the place was charged with elec'
tricity. One fellow touched the awning,
which was soaking wet, and he was badly
shocked. The photographer up stairs
took hold of water basin, and it was also
charged to such degree that he dropped
it on the floor and his arm was badly
cramped besides. Charlie Collins was
up stairs and desired to look out to see
what caused the excitement, aud he, too,
came in contact with something that
knocked him down.
The fire company was called out, but
an electrician was the man really wanted,
and when he came he made things go ali
right again.
