Mr.. Stanley said yesterday that the

He seemed to think that good many
people had an idea that he had charged
some irregularity because he had de-
handed an investigation.
He said that he had not even insinu-

guilty of an offense, but what he did
say was that the bar ought not to rest
under these loud rumors and insinua-
tons that reflected on every member
alike until an investigation was had.

hunters TO a large tree, and far out

. dark object that gladdened
their hearts. The hounds became silent
at once, went away some thirty feet

leaves. The bull dog took his position
closer to the tree, and the old hunter

A New Yorker laid hold of one hound

They did not get TO sec much of the
fight. Both were thrown 10 the
ground and were rolling over and over

animals dragged about and the New
Yorker once found himself painfully
mixed up in the battle as the coon gave
him a snap on the hip that will mark
him for life.

AFTER INFANTS ARE WEANED.
Articles of Food That Are Best Suited to
Their Needs.

Their Needs.
The feeding of an infant after it has
been weaned involves so much care
and anxiety that many mothers arc
willing to postpone the matter until
the health of the child is compromised
and the many other duties of the
mother interfered with.
The time of weaving obviously de-
Ponds largely upon the individual
strength of both mother and child. If
both are well, physiological changes
make it possible. and even beneficial,
for the child to begin to leave the
breast at the end of ten months, and to
give it entirely up at the end of a
year. OF course the transition should
be gradual except when one OF
the numerous circumstances intervene
which compel an abrupt discontinuance
In determining the amount and con-
sistency of the food to be supplied dur
ing the transition period we must take
into consideration the digestive powers
of the child. The milk of Jersey cows
is to be preferred, since it is richer in
fats. 1t is necessary to dilute milk
from third to half with water to
bring it more nearly into correspond
ence with infantile digestive abilities,
and ordinary milk suffers by such a
dilution a marked diminution in the
amount of fats.
The slight acidity of cows milk may
be disregarded in healthy babies OF six
months or over, although lime-water
should be added at any earlier period.
In warm weather all milk should be
heated to almost one hundred and sew
e.ty degrees, except in the case Of very
weak infants, when the subject should
receive the attention of medical ad-
wiser.
After a child is six months old il
may be given small quantities of
starchy products. the best forms being
potatoes. oatmeal and barley. II may
be mentioned that oatmeal tends to
prevent constipation, while barley will
check diarrhoea-
At this period crusts Of stale bread
and crackers should be given TO the
child to nibble. Eggs diluted with wa
ter and sweetened are very nutritious,
and in fact make a very good substi-
tute for milk.
At the end of year soft boiled eggs
and broths of beef, chicken or mutton
may be added to the diet, which from
this time on should be increased in pro-
portion to the strength of the child.
Finely-divided bits of underdone meat

articles form varied assortment from
which to tempt the appetite OF the lit

AN OLD SETTLE BACK.
Colonel Russell Returns to His First Love to
Sedgwick County.

Colonel Russell, formerly of Union
township, was in the city yesterday.
All of the old settlers will remember
Colonel Russell. He used to take d
prominent part in the politics of the
county and was always strong Re-
publican and he still continues in the
faith.
Colonel Russell was telling some old
friends yesterday that he now draws a
pension of seventy dollars a month
and that he had come back from Wash
ington to stay. He says he never re-
garded any place but Sedgwick county
his home.
Colonel Russell was a gallant soldier
during the war. He was telling some
old friends yesterday how his horse was
shot from under him al Stone River.
Murray Myers, he said, was a 15-year
old boy then and bugler for his regiment.
When his horse was shot Murray ran in
and tried TO save Colonel RusselFs sad
die but he said the rebs pushed them
so hard that Murray hung the saddle
on stump and gathered gun.
Colonel Russell said that Murray
raised a great howl about loosing that
saddle and never seemed to realize the
danger he was in.
Register of Deeds Barrett was also
with Colonel Russell in that fight and
the brave old man never forgets his
boys, as he calls them.

WAS GIVEN TO POOR.
Sedgwick County is Feeding People Who
Come from Other Sections.

County Commissioner Busch said yes
terday that some people seemed to have
an idea that the county was helping
more people this winter than ever be-
fore.
MIR. Busch said that there were a
good many poor people in the city
but the cost to the county was not very
much more than other years. The
amount expended for provisions in Oc-
tober was s204.75, in November s1S7.45;
and December $20e.45. That was all
in the city. Then outside for the same
time s254S0 had been given.
Mir. Busch says that about the same
amount as for provisions has been Civ
en- by the county in coal. This would
make for the three months $S53.30 for
provisions and the same for coal would
make s1,706.60 for the three months.
This does not include for January
which has not yet been all settled.
That is not considered a very large
amount for county like Sedgwick,
