THE most interesting feature of
heart disease is its inSidOusness. 1t
may develop as n complication of some
simple disease of childhood, and run
an absolutely hidden course until, per-
haps, accidentally discovered, or until
some sudden call on the system for
extra energy discloses the fact that
the heart will not stand the strain.
Since life insurance has become so
popular, hundreds Of thousands of
cases of heart disease absolutely un-
suspected before are discovered every
year by the medical examiners Of the
various companies. Heart examina-
tions have become much more exact in
recent years, and the existence of a
heart lesion-that is, of chronic heart
dsease-is seldom missed This ac-
counts for the fact that the large life
insurance companies are now able to
point with pride TO the immense
amount of insurance, in one case over
thirty millions, that they have rejected
during a single year.
by far the greater number of heart
diseases develop as a result of rheu-
matism. The younger the patient who
suffers from rheumatism, the more
probability IS there that the heart will
be affected. More than Sc per cent. Of
the sufferers from rheumatism, under
twenty years Of age nave heart COM
plication. Under fifteen years of age
very few sufferers from rheumatism
recover without a heart lesion. Promi-
ncnt doctors doubt if there are any
sufferers from genuine rheumatism in
childhood who escape with unchanged
hearts

SHE STILL WATTS
Miss Anesith Warner Hears
Nothing of John Wilson.
NO CLUE is FOUND
His Father Has No Idea of
Sons Whereabouts.

Miss Anesith Warner stn waits at the
home Of Richard Wilson on the West
Side for the return Of John wilson. the
young man to whom she was to have
been welded on the day following
Christmas She waits in vain, as it
seems, for John Wilson has not returned
and neither have his relatives had any
word Of his whereabouts.
Nothing. has been heard Of John wilson
since Christmas night Then he was OBJ
served 10y some Of his friends on Doug
las avenue near the daDots. This fact
gives color to the theory that Wilson has
left the city. Where he went OF why he
left wichita is still o. mystery. His
father clings to the idea that his son is
slightly demented. He was in the city
yesterday to ascertain II anything had
been heard of his son. He found nothing
to encourage him and last night returnei
TO his home and family to tell them that
1t seemed TO be a hopeless case.
Chief Cubb0n and his men have not
heard anything Of John Wilson They
have been making inquiries. They have
found no clue. but all have the theory
that he had left the city. Chief Cubbon
thinks that the man Is slightly demente1
and the longer that the time elaDses, the
more the idea is made stronger.
He said yesterday to a reporter for the
Eagle. Eve have not had a word from
John Wilson. Neither do we have amy
idea where he is. His father has been
here today but we could give him no
news of his son. We still have the idea
that the young man is out of town.
also think that the worry Of not getting
his home arranged and everything in
readiness for his bride. caused his mind
10 be unsettled and he left the city in
that condition Of mind. There is abso-
lutely nothing that we can do about the
matter owing TO the fact that If he is
out Of town, as we think, for we have
no means Of ascertaining just where he
went to-"
Anesth Warner and her brother and
sister win return to their home in Strong
City within a few days if John Wilson
does not return. The brother is still puz-
zled over the case for he cannot under
stand why John WILSON, the Young man
he has known so we'll should act in such
a manner Wilson was a resident of
their home for many months and it was
through this means that the young peo-
pie became attached to- each other and
were engaged to be married.
Miss Warner has been a school teacher
and has had good success in her work
She gave I'D her school during the pres
ent year for the purpose of marrying
John Wilson. Every plan had been with
that happy end in view, but everything
was sadly disturbed by the disappearance
OF the young man.
The father. Richard wilson, In talking
TO a repc~ter for the Eagle, said: 1--WE
have heard nothing Of John yet Where
he is or what he is doing we do not
know I wish that we could hear some
thing Of him. If we could know where
he is it would end the suspense that Miss
Warner and Johns mother is now bearing
up under. I think that within the next
few days we viii hear something Of
him"

HUNTERS NEW MARKET
Said to be the Finest Fixtures West of
sat Louis An Attractive store.

Butchers Of the west in general are be
coming more progressive. and up-to-date.
They gradually are realizing that Its
different now" A few years ago the
butcher who sold the best meat had the
largest trade; the appearance of the shop
didn't count. Today the neatness of the
market the beauty Of the fixtures ana
general appearance Of the market are OF
vital Importance to success.
AS 1t costs no more to trade at a we'll
appofnted market having the latest i'm
proved refrigerators and fixtures than 1t
does to trade at some dingy. repulsive-
looking shop. the public naturally prefer
the former, and the owner of the up-to-
date market gets the business. The in
vestment in attractive fixtures thereby
soon pays for itself
Mr. Y. J Hunter Of this city Is one Of
the shrewd men who realized the present
condition and Immediately set about to
remedy It by purchasing an entirely new
outfit. which, knowing ones say, Is not
only the finest in Wichita, but the hand
soonest in the western country. The out
fiji was furnished by the Gus. V. Brecht
Butchers Supply co. of St Louis. and
consists Of their patented ventilated re-
frigerators, conceded by users the finest
and most practical made in America
also massive counters, blocks, nickel
plated steel meat racks. etc, all Of the
very latest designs. The woodwork is
solid oak nlaid with enameled tile pan
els. i'm themselves works of art. This
class Of fixtures is entirely new and was
ORIGINATED by the Brecht company The
brilliant effect of these fixtures cannot
be described, but must be seen TO be ap-
preciated.
AS result Of giving the people Of
Wichita an up-to-date. swell market 10
deal at. Mr. Hunter has attracted an i'm
1nense number Of new customers and is
reaplng the benefit of his well-conceived
idea-that there is no reason why mar
ket in these days should not be as clean
and attractively fitted as the finest store.
The Brecht company, Mr. Hunter says
Issue q very complete catalogue OF re-
friEerators and market fixtures which is
sent free 10 any prospective purchaser.

to tack and sail for port, he had an ad-
venture with a monster shark that the
crew viii long remember. They had
turned towards shore when ccmmotlon
commenced in the water. and instantly
the ropes holding the net frightened and
the smack started of at a rapid gait the
waves washing over the deck. The crew
were thoroughly frightened and wanted
to cut loose. but Captain Feress kept
cool and ordered them to stand ready
for whatever It was that had hold Of
them. and for half an hour no one knew
what was going to happen, They could
see nothing. but thew were going away,
and some Invisible power had hold Of the
boat Then big black object came
suddenly to the TOP. jumping clear out Of
the water. trying 70 loosen himself. then
started for the shore and soon had run
onto the bar and the tide left him high
and dry, and they could then see what it
was that had nearly scared the life out
OF them, a monstrous shark, measuring
IS feet the largest anyone on this coast
had ever seen Monterey (CaL) Herald,

As a production, Becky Sharp" is as
interesting and impressive as taste,
ana expenditure can make play. The
scenery OF TIE four acts has all been pro
vided after careful study of the period
by the artists employed. It consists
Of four interiors varying In treatment
with regard to locale. The scenes are
laid in Miss Crawley's London house, a
palace at Brussels where the ball Of the
Duchess of Richmond is represented, the
Curzon street house Of Becky and the
inn at Pumpernickel where Becky resorts
after the failure of her fortunes One
scene-that of the balls probably the
finest in its fidelity to such a function
ever scene in this city A great feature
is the costumtng of the play. The pic
to' al dress Of the period Of 1S14-2S is rep
resented by a hundred or more examples,
designed by Percy. Anderson of london,
from the best authorities.

That great New York Lyceum success,
1.-THE Prisoner Of Zenda,'' viii be given
at the Crawford theater New Years
matinee and night by an especially
strong company headed by Vaughan
Glaser ard Helen Bell. Although the
play has now been several years in the
public eye, it IS still at the height OF It's
popularity, and the popular de-
mand is greater for it now than for
many new play. The play was dram
atized from Anthony Hopes novel, by
E. 2. Rose and shows immense merit.
What elaboration there is shows e mas
ter-hand The incidents Of the novel
are closely adhered to and are most ef-
fectvely handled, while the atmosphere
Of romance Is never once allowed to re-
lapse. Tie heart story is touching, and
affords one Of the noblest lessons in
moral courage ever presented on the
stage The scenery is most elaborate and
the costum'ng effective.

Music and Drama
Coming Attractions for
Wichita Amusement Lovers

A good sized audience saw Ten Nights
in Bar Room presented by Busby
Brothers company at the Crawford
theater last night matinee perform
ance also attracted a good audience. An
Uncle Toms Cabin show and Ten Nights
in a Bar Room draw similar audiences.
Many people go to these shows that are
never seen at any other time. The story
OF moral as it may be styled, is what
attracts. Artistic merit is never expect
ed and surely seldom found in show of
this kind and such was the case with
this show. The tableaux were very fine
and the vision scene was also good. And
those who ike that kind of a show so
doubt were pleased and perfectly salts
fed But theater goer who looks for
the artistic was disappointed, but he
should nave known Better before going
For the kind OF show the company did
vel enough The company carries a
fine band and orchestra, which is draw
ing feature. Next attraction Prisoner
of Zenda" on New Years day. Matinee
at 2:90 o'clock and night performance.
