Common soda is all right in its place

We refer to the common use of soda to

habit which thousands Of people practice
almost daily. and one which is fraught
with danger; moreover the soda only
gives temporary relief and in the end the

The remarkable experience Of Mrs c.
A. Merrill. Chetopa, Kan, is related by
her husband; who tells how she was
afflicted with most peculiar nervous
trouble, and how through an unexpected
agency. her health was finally restored.
Mr.. Merrill writes as follows:
"a few years ago while living at FL
Paso. Tex. my wife was stricken with a
severe nervous affection, which at times
would seem to almost drive her insane
from her intense suffering. The trouble
consisted of very severe pain in the right
nasal cavity, and extended to the rear
of the right ear. I consulted various
specialists between FL Paso and Cincin-
natl O., finally sending her to the latter
place, where she was treated for a time.
She seemed to be relieved and came home.

WILL co TO LAW
County Won't Pay City's
Claim Except on Judgment
NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Cost of Suit Unless an Agreed
Statement of Facts.

There is a difference of $4,000 between
sedgwick county and Wichita and Wich-
ita claims it. To settle it in a law suit
on oral evidence will cost $1,000. Tax
payers are interested to know what will
be done. The financial committee of the
council had another meeting with the
county commissioners, but no agreement
has been reached in the matter. num-
Der of meetings have been held but the
committees can not get together. Speak
ing OF the matter some days ago Com
missioner Wilson said:
DO not see that we will be justified
by any means in paying this amount over
TO the city, except under Judgment for
the amount. [ think, so far as the COM
mlssloners are concerned the city will
nave to sue and get judgment if any
money is paid from the county"
j. Giles Smith, chairman of the finance
committee of the city council said:
We do not complain that the commits
sioners refuse to pay over this money.
except upon judgment, but we are trying
now to shorten the way. If the county
attorney and city attorney can agree upon
statement of facts and submit it to
Judge Dale for a decision as to the law
in the case it will reduce the cost Of a
settlement very materially.
I'VE should have to take the case out
OF the county for trial, because no citizen
of Wichita could be allowed to sit on
the jury. Then all these books would have
20 be gone over item by item, and that
would take several months. The expense
would be a great part of the amount in
volved and none Of the officials concerned
want to go into such a long, tedious con-
test. The commissioners are disposed to
be fair in the matter and I think We
shall get it all arranged SOON
The shortage is in a measure respon-
sible for the difference between the city
md county. The law says it shall be the
duty of the county treasurer and clerk to
report the amounts on hand and due the
city as often as the council may require
and the commissioners say that if the
city failed to ask for a report it was
simply negligence for which the county
is in no wise responsible.
1t is questionable if the county can get
out of paying the money on this score
thought it is such a complicated matter
that It is hard to tell just what will come
out of IT. There is a difference between the
accounts. Looked at in one way, the
matter would appear to be question of
facts, and If this is the case the matter
can not be settled by submitting a state
ment. In another way it would seem to be
purely a question of law and in that
case, the whole thing can be settled very
easily. If it comes to bringing suit and
going over the situation in court it will
cost the city and county not less than
eight or nine thousand dollars. This
method of settlement will be very I'M
fortunate for tax payers.

ROSE GARLAND

The second performance of Rose Gar
land at the Crawford Grand last night
went off more smoothly even than on the
previous night. From beginning TO end
the play was good-however, the play
grew stronger as the performance pro-
ceeded. Not for years has there been
an amateur show equal to this, and but
for a few slight earmarks of the amateur,
the show was as good as most profess
sional performances. Mr.. Payton labored
hard in directing and drilling the players
and the result was a fine production of the
play. AS on the previous night the entire
cast did well. The specialties We're the

PROPERTY SENSE Of BEES
INTERESTING FACTS REGARDING
INSECTS.
In Times of Scarcity One Swarm will
Rob Another-The Defeated Usually
Join the Marauders.

That bees have a sense of property
rights is shown. says a writer in the
Chautauquan, through their actions
in defending their stores from plum
dering swarms. Bee robbing usually
takes place when there is little nectar
to be taken from the flowers, and
probably hunger incites to i'll gotten
gain. 1t is interesting to note that
strong colonies are seldom attacked.
the weaker ones being the victims.
The fury with which the owners of
the honey will fight for its retention
is sufficient when once seen. to CON
vince any doubter that bees. at least,
have sense of property. When the
robbed swarm is overcome and the
queen killed the bees will desert and
join the robbers and help carry their
own stores to the hive of the marau-
ders. This shows that it is a matter
of property and not individual ami
mostly which inspires them. otherwise
they would fight to the death. Bee
hunters say that when taking up
bee tree, or a bee hive. for that mat
ter. the bees will fight furously nm
til their comb is actually broken:
then they give up, and defeated and
ueSpdlrlnp, tneN cluster on the bro
ken comb making no further effort to
save themselves. There is something
touching in the story of these brave
little defenders of stores and home,
and their utter encouragement when
they see their treasure broken and rtl-
ined.
Taking up" bee trees and bee hives
is barbarous performance, and does
not rebound to the honor of man;
and the thought of it quite reconciles
ones to all of the bee stings inflicted
upon the genus homo since time be-
gan.
Another sign of the sense of owner
ship of stored provision is the care
given it by the harvester ants of Tex
as and India. These wise harvesters
store their seeds in underground gran
aries for winter use. After the rains
come the grain. if let alone. would
naturally terminate or become moul-
dy. The ants comprehend this. and
when good weather comes again they
bring the grain up and dry it in the
hot sun and then return it to the
granaries.
