head approvingly when the doctor
spoke about the deathesis OF blastenia,
the reliculum of the chlorisis, the pie
thora of the melanenia and the amania
of the aborted cachexia which being
pathologicaly incoraemeiated meant
simply that the corpusles lexicohaemi-
ated-in other words that the doctors
knife was dirty and poisoned the blood.
The greatest excitement prevailed,
however, when Jim Comfy proceeded to
make his argument TO the jury. He
accused DR.. Albright of being, himself,
a wart on the profession of surgery,
that he was a blotch on the social Sys-
tenn, that society shrunk and shivered
when he hove within sight of il, that
he fairly killed Mr.. Wood who, after
such an opera ton. would never again
regain his wonted strength. Jim paint
ed the doctor in such a horrible man
ner that good Juror Boylan looked at
the doctor to see whether he had hoofs
and horns and hair OF fire and brim-
stone.
Shipman & Steffee, the attorneys for
Dr. Albright felt better disposed to-
wards him and painted the poor old
man with a halo about his head. They
left no doubt IN the minds of the jury
but what he has done more for suffer
ing humanity in removing their corns
than any other man living.
The jury has the case under consid-
GRAFTON and are discussing J. with a
great deal OF wisdom.

WAS A SUDDEN CALL
DR.. Ed Whitlock Passes Away Suddenly al
the Eagle Hotel


Sunday afternoon about l O'Clock DR..
Edward A. Whitlock died in the Eagle
hotel, 116 North Water street, while at
dinner.
The doctor had been complaining for
some time of kidney trouble, but being
a man of strong constitution he had not
paid much attention TO his physical
trouble. He nor his friends never
dreamed that there were any serious
complications, and his sudden death
fell like a thunder clap from clear
sky. He had taken his seat at the
dining table and Mrs. Arnholtz had just
served him with soup. He gave his or
der for dinner and had only taken two
spoonfuls when his head fell sideways
onto his shoulder his eyes about half
shut. With almost a superhuInan eff
fort he arose to his feet. When Mrs.
Arnholtz asked him if he did not like
his soup he tried to talk, only making
a few inaudiable mutterings. He grad
ually began to sink to the floor when
Mr.. Arnholtz, the proprietor, caught
him. Mr.. ArnholtZ, together with a
few who were in the dining room at the
time, assisted him TO a room on the sec
ond floor and medical aid was imme-
dlately summons, but death had al
ready claimed him. His brother and
father were called at the same time, but
were too late to hear him speak one
word.
A ooroners jury was e1npaneled, con-
sisting OF III. T. DERRICK, James How
ard, G. W. Berdine, John McComb, F.
A. Gackenbach and Henry Schad. Az
ter viewing the remains it was removed
to the home of the deceased, over 233
South Main street, and the jury ad
journed till 9 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The jury found that the deceased
had come to his death from heart
disease, superinduced by kidney com
plications.
Edward A. whitlock was born IN
Pennington, Ia, forty-three years ago.
He graduated with honors at the Pulte
medical college, in Cincinnati. Ohio, and
commenced the practice of medicine In
1876. He came to Wichita in 1882, and
has had a lucrative practice here ever
since. He has taken several post grad
uate courses in medicine in New York
and Chicago. He was 32nd degree

The funeral will be from the residence

1t Caught Fire Sunday Night With Forty
Thousand Dollars Worth of Grain.

The old p. V. elevator, just east of
the Southern Kansas depot at Winfield,
caught fire Sunday evening about $50
O'Clock and was entirely consumed. II
is supposed to be a case of spontaneous
combustion and the fire is thought TO
have originated in the coal bin on the
east end of the building. 1t was hrst
noticed at this place and the fire de-
partment answered the alarm promptly,
but before they arrived the fire had
reached the cob elevator running from
the top OF the building near the west
side to the engine room. This served in
the nature Of fiue and the blaze fed by
the powder-like dust went through this
chute like the wind.
The building contained about $4,000
bushels OF wheat, two car loads OF corn
and one bin of oats, all, or nearly all OF
which, was the property of Davidson d
Smith. upon which they carry lnsur-
ance amounting TO nearly $4,000. The
building was the property of the Santa
Fe Railway company, and was insured
in their big policy.

ALL RAILROAD WORK STOPPED.
The Pennsylvania Company Trying TO
Reduce Its Expenses.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 30.-Because
of the general depression in business
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
to-day decided to stop all work on its
line, wherever possible, in order to re-
duce expenses. At the same time it
was ordered that all contemplated inn
provements should be laid aside for
the present.
The tunnel at Radabaugh, near
Greenburg, which is partially com
pleted, will be left as it is, and moth
ing more will be done for sometime.
Work on the new iron bulkhead shed
at Debrosses street, New York, ard
a new pier at wharf No. 20, North
river, New York, has been laid aside
for the present.
one OF the presidents of the
company said to-day that the reason
for stopping the work was the fact
that financial trouble and business de-
preston exist all over the country.
lie said the experience of other cor
porations leads to the belief that if
the company decided to float bonds in
order TO continue the Improvements
it would be difficult to DO so, except
at a sacrifice.
