TOO MUCH HARD CIDER.
But E. NJ. Mclaughlin Says 1t Was His
Mothsr-in-Law to Blame.

But E. NJ. Mclaughlin Says It Was His
Mothsr-in-Law to Blame.
His mother-in-law, balky horse and
hard cider all combined to get E. NJ. Nc
Laughlin into the police court 1t is
safe to say that the hard cider did nine
tenths of it. Mclaughlin tackled the
hard cider first, then tried the balky
horse, reserving his mother -in-law for
the last. He had considerable trouble
steering himself, and a great deal more
trouble in trying to control the risky
young thing hitched to his cart He
finally got to his mother-in-law's
house, and going in by the back gate,
drove recklessly over the little patch
where his wife's mother was trying to
raise a few onions aud other things.
When she called to him from
the kitchen door he replied in
terms that were more forcibIe than
occasion required. Liquor makes some
men eloquent and Mclaughlin is one of
those men. He felt like talking and
wouldn't have traded his eloquence for
that of F. B. Dawes. Officer McElroy.
who made the arrest, says that McLaugh.
lin generally tries to beat his wife when
he gets drunk, and that she left home
last night when she learned that her
husband was at it again. That was the
reason he went to his mother in-law's
house looking for his wife.

WHY SUES HIS FATHER
C. A. Sprecke1s Gives His Reasons for the
SANDER Suit.

c. A. SpreckeIs Gives His Reasons for the
SANDER Suit.
SAN Francisco, May 2.-The depo-
sitions are being taken in the 800, 900
damage suit of c. A. Spreckels against
his father, Claus Spreckels. the sugar
king, for alleged Islander. c. A. Spreck-
els devoted several hours yesterday to
telling why he sued his father for SLAM
der. Claus Spreckels will tell today
why he made the statements to which
his son takes exception. The statements
OF each will be used in the coming trial.
While the young man could not men
ton any particular occasion where he
had suffered financially, he said that his
general reputation had been injured. All
of the Spreckels millions, he said, would
not recompense him for the damage done
to his standing in the community.
The suit for SANDER is based on an
article published several weeks ago in
which Claus Spreckels was quoted as
saying that c. A. Spreckels and his
younger brother had attempted to de-
fraud him of large sum of money and
that G. A Spreckels was poor business
man and would soon be bankrupt.

There VIII BE an Irrigated Farm Near
Topeka This Summer.

While the Kansas irrigation board is
sinking wells and $4,000 in experiment
ing with irrigation in western Kansas
several Shawnee county farmers and
gardeners are actually irrigating.
An irrigation plant is now being con-
structed on the farm of Frank Studer a
short distance north of Soldier creek on
Kansas avenue.
Mr.. Studer was for many years en-
ployed in the Santa Fe shops but he now
expects to make more money off his lit

with irrigation than he ever made while
working at his trade.
A Topeka wind mill manufacturer
made the machinery for this irrigation
plant which will soon be in operation.

BY a Wealthy Aunt.
NEWPORT, R l.. May Mrs. Cordelia
Sanford, who occupied handsome sum-
mer villa here for years, died year ago,
leaving the bulk of her estate to ALA
Newton, her companion for long time.
To Kate Field, the editor of washing
ton," and to George Riddle, reader,
both next of kin, she left only few
trinkets in the way of remembrances.
Miss Field was a niece and frequent
visitor and a companion of her aunt in
her old age, but she was practically
ignored
The will was offered for probate, but
notice of a contest was given by Miss
Field and Riddle. The contestants make
serious charges against Miss Newton,
claiming that she unduly Influenced Mrs.
Sanford. Mrs Sanford was the widow
of Milton H Sanford, who was famous
turfman. Mrs. s. F. Barger, of. New
York, received the major portion of his
estate. Mrs. Sanford left valuable art

A GIRL ENGINEER.
A Stockton Girl Performs the Duties Of
City Engineer.

A Stockton Girl Performs the Duties OF
City Engineer.
The Stockton Record says that Miss Stella
Sanford performed the entire duties OF the
city engineer during the recent sickness
of her father-a period of ten days or
more. Every day she went to the engine
house. got up steam and pumped the
stand pipe full of water.
1t further says it does not believe there
are ten men in Stockton who know
enough about steam boilers aud pumps
to have taken this responsibility on their
shoulders; or who would have discharged
the duties of the position with half the
energy and skill that Miss Sanford did.
The courage and practical judgment
of this young lady who is not yet out OF
her teens, deserves recognition as one OF
the best instances of woman's capacity TO
do mans work.

Is CURED OF RABIES.
A Woman Said to Have Had
Hydrophobia
RECEIVERS AFTER CONCLUSIONS.

She Was Bitten April 10th and Was
Attacked With Spasms a Week Ago.
She is Now Well.
1t is very seldom that one hears of a
person recovering from hydrophobia but
Mrs. William Keuler who lives six miles
northwest of Topeka seems to have done
so, according to this story.
On Wednesday, April 10, Mrs. Keuler
went to a neighbours house on an errand.
As she entered the yard a dog ran up
behind her and fastened his teeth in the
back part of her left leg just above the
knee. After biting her the dog disap-
peared The bite was not severe and
Mrs. Keuler did not even tell her hus-
band of the occurrence when she went
home.
The wounds made by the dogs teeth
healed rapidly and the woman thought
no more about the matter. One day a
neighbor asked Mr.. Keuler whether his
his wife had recovered from the bite,
and then. for the first time, he found out
what had happened. Still they did not
think seriously of the bite, for the marks
made by the dogs teeth had almost dis
appeared.
A week ago, in the middle of the night.
Keuler was awakened by the most
frightful screams from his WIFE She
was in commissions which lasted several
minutes, during which she frothed at
the mouth and showed every symptom
of hydrophobia After the CONFUSION
passed the woman became quiet, but it
was not long until she was seized with
another more severe than the first. She
lost consciousness and her muscles
ierked and twitched. All day she raved
in the most frightful delirium. The
wounds made by the dogs teeth became
red aud infamed
A doctor was summoned from Topeka
who administered medicine, and toward
evening the woman became quieter, but
the twitching of her muscles continued,
though the commissions were less fire.
quent
The second day Mrs. Keuler partially
recovered consciousness and the wild
stare in her eyes disappeared. She
talked in a desultory manner but only
about dogs. The next day she COM
planned of terrible pains in her head but
fully recovered consciousness.
Yesterday Mrs. Keuler was able to get
up and it appears that she has fully re-
covered. DR.. Hamilton, who treated
her. says that he has had four cases OF
hydrophobia who recovered. There is
danger however, that Mrs. Keuler may
have a recurrence of the attack.

WIND MUST RAISE CROPS.
Wind Mill Irrigation at saIina is to Be
Tried.


SALIVA, May DIR. ]. E. Miller will
experiment with irrigation on q 5-acre
patch of ground here this summer He
will raise potatoes, cabbage, etc. He will
use a Perkins wind mill, with an i'm
mense fan wheel fourteen feet in diane
ter. In addition to this be will have
large reservoir, which will contain fifty
or sixty barrels. which can be used when
the wind doesn't do the work.
Said the doctor: "This is not good
soil for irrigation. It takes a sandy soil
with gravel bottom to spread the water
in good shape In this soil it would be
impracticable to attempt to irrigate by
ditching. l will run pipes under the
ground and use taps running toward the
surface, which plan, 1 think, will work
successfully.

An Eastern Opinion.

The same opinion seems to prevail in
the East of the grand work of DR.. Kee-
ley's Cure as has been esta blished in the
West by the wonderful results of its ad-
ministration at the Kelley Institutes of
Kansas City, Kansas, and Topeka. We
clip from the Pittsburg Dispatch the fol-
lowing letter from one of the leading
temperance women of the country:
81 have been watching the effects of
DIR. Keeley's medicines for the past four
years. l have seen men who were in
sane from the effects of alcohol, morphia,
cocaine and other drugs when they were
taken into the institute. A few weeks
treatment cured both mind and body,
and those men today are useful members
of society. 1t is wrong for any intelli-
gent man or woman to oppose the Kelley
cure, for there must be about 500 cured
men in Allegheny county. The Kelley
League is the most practical temperance
society in this state. League No. is
located in Pittsburg. Over 70 of our
pastors are members of this league.
