MANY RUM0RS IN WICHITA
They Are Persistent and Cause Much
Inquiry.

y
Rumors have been very persistent in
Wichita during the past week and every
day something new has been sprung for
the people to get excited about. The first
one was that Mrs. Nation had been shot
in Topeka This went around the streets
very rapidly. The telegraph and news
paDer. Offices were asked about the &C
currence and of course there was nothing
IN It
Another rumor which went about on
the streets was that George Stevens, the
man injured IN the saloon affair in An
thony, had died in this city. The first
report came out Of Anthony and got into
Kansas city. kilograms reached here
asking about the matter.
Then there have been q rumor Of hatch
cts being purchased in large numbers in
this city. OF course plenty of hatchets
are sold here but the dealers have not
reported an extraordinary sale Of them
These are the kinds Of rumors which
Wichita people have had. There are
many others and If one cared to pay any
attention to rumors they would be kept
busy all Of the time.

AMERICAN BRIDGE BUILDERS.

Americans are twenty years in ad-
vance of other nations Except Can
ada) in the art of bridge design and
construction. The steel of which a
bridge is made represents about half
it's cost. Steel is now made in the
United States at much less cost than
in any other country. In Britain labor
is SO much hampered by trades-union-
ism that it is admitted by one of the
leaders that the cost of labor in MAX
ing steel in the United States is not
one-half of what it is in Britain. This
can be said also of the labor employed
in manufacturing.
The market for bridges IS far great
er in the United States than elsewhere.
The states have now 100000 miles Of
railways, and it has been estimated
that there is an average of one span
of metallic bridge for every threa
miles of railway. This gives $4,000
bridges on existing lines, without in
Guiding those required for new lines.
The increase in the United States of
the weight of cars and engines has re-
suited in wonderful economic changes
The average rate of freights on Ameri-
can railways was in 1867 little over
SIS ton Now it averages ninety-five
cents. Any one can figure the savings
on 976,000,000 tons of freight moved ir

BLoop.Po1soN1NG.

In the widest acceptation of the
term, blood-poisoning occurs in all in
fictitious diseases, in Bright's disease,
trouble affecting the general system.
But, as usually understood, it means
poisoning by pus microbes or their
products, conditions medically known
Us pyaemia or septicaemia.
A quarter of a century ago these
diseases were very common, especially
in hospitals, and were often the cause
of frightful mortality among the
wounded in battle; but now they are
becoming more and more rare, and
many physicians of several years
practice have never seen well-mark-
ed case
This happy change is the result of
the general adoption of the principles
OF antiseptic surgery, whereby septic
infection of wounds and consequent
extensive suppuration are prevented.
But blood-poisoning sill occurs at
times after wounds made with infected
objects, or wounds which have been
allowed to tester without proper treat
ment.
Physicians occasionally get blood
poisoning in consequence of slight
cut or scratch received while perform
ing an autopsy after case of appen-
dicitis or other suppurative disease. In
cases in which death follows an op-
GRAFTON for appendicitis the cause is
frequently septicaemia or pyaemia, the
operation having been undertaken too
late to prevent the absorption of sep
tic material.
The symptoms of blood poisoning
are those of profound depression of the
general system, but the symptoms of
the two varieties of blood-poisoning
differ more or less
Septicaema usually begins abruptly
with chill and high fever. The pulse
is quick and weak. the breathing is
rapid and sometimes oppressed, head
ache is usually severe, the appetite is
lost, and there is much nausea with
vomiting.
In pyaemia these symptoms are
more gradual in their appearance and
are preceded for day or two by slight
fever, loss of appetite and general de-
preston. There is succession Of
chills, high fever and sweating, so that
the case is sometimes taken for ma
laria. Later all doubt is removed by
the formation of assesses on various
parts of the body
Both forms of blood poisoning are
grave, but recovery is more apt to take
place in septicaemia Treatment con-
sists primarily in attention to the
wound through which infection has
occurred, which, if accessible, should
be opened freely and thoroughly drain
ed. At the same time the system must
be supported by stimulants, heart ton
les. and nourishing and easily digested
food.

AN Unnamed MONSTER.

The Field Columbian Museum in
Chicago possesses some of the bones
Of gigantic dinosaur, which appar-
emily exceeded in size the famous at
lantosaurus, heretofore regarded as the
largest land animal known ever to
have inhabited the earth. Professor
Marsh thought that the atlantosaurus
might have attained a length of eighty
feet, and have been more than thirty
feet in height. The as yet unnamed
monster whose bones have recently
been measured in Chicago, and which,
like the atlantosaurus, dwelt in the
Rocky Mountain region had a thigh
bone six feet and eight inches in
length. The bone of it's upper arm,
the humerus, is even larger than the
thigh-bone, exceeding by twenty-three
inches the largest humerus hitherto
known to science. Prof. Elmer S. Riggs
remarks that the extraordinary length
of the humerus suggests that the ami
NAL had something giraffe-like in its
proportions. In that case. its height
must have been truly gigantic.

BILLIARD CUES.
America Furnishes the Best Product in
Every Way.

America Furnishes the Best Product In
Every Way.
"Most billiard cues" says New
York manufacturer, care made in two
pieces, the cue proper and the handle.
The cue is generally made Of maple,
and the butt, which is wedge-shaped, is
inserted into handle of rosewood,
snakewood, ebony, mahogany, walnut
or some other fancy dark wood, which
is cut to dovetail with the long part.
The maple wood used in making the
handles is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape Of the handle to be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
die blocks. The handle block is turned
in the shape of the handle in lathe,
and, when the butt has been fitted, it
is finished and polished.
THE finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means of a
double wedge. At the top of the cue is
ferrule of ivory or horn, or bone, in
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive,
Of course, it is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
liable to crack. The extra workmanship
on cues is put in on the butts, some of
which are deliberately inlaid and
carved in beautiful patterns.
There are number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another per-
son to use their cues, and for the use
Of these particular players cues are
turned out from which the tips may be
unscrewed, leaving the cut with unfin-
ished points and useless. American
billiard cues are the lightest, strong
est and neatest made anywhere in the
world. They are made in all weights
and lengths, and rank in price from
80 cents to $25 and more each, accord
ing to the quality and finish of the
article"

Timely Present. for Brides.

In spite of the fact that brides are
not supposed to give thought to any
of their friends or relatives at home
when on their wedding tours, it is the
fashion-and pretty one-to present
the new matron with dainty little
writing cases, small, compact but lux
uriously appointed, says the New York
Commercial-Advertiser These wee
escritories can be tucked into the most
crowded of travelling bags, and are or
namental reminders that line or two
sent by the bride is much-prized at
tention. Some of these writing sets,
fitted with every necessity for CORE
spondence-they even furnish inspira-
ton, being so attractive-are no larger
than an ordinary sized book when
closed. For the bride whose trip is by
sea their is specially designed writing
outfit, including clock and barometer,
which is made to fasten on the side of
a berth on board ship.

TO KEEP FLOWERS.

If one wants to preserve flowers a
few days longer than they would keep
ordinarily, one should try this meth
cd: Clip the stems just little, and
put one drop of ammonia and the tin
lest pinch of salt in vase of water,
says the Montreal Star. Put the flow
ers in this, and unless the weather is
very cool set them outside the window
over night. Put them in fresh water.
with the drop of ammonia and pinch
of salt, every morning, and it will be
found that they keep fresh and will
not lose their crisp, "lifey" appearance
for many days. Roses have been known
to keep in this preparation for a full
week without dropping at all. Of
course, flowers that have been worn
for several hours will not keep 50 long,
but even they will brighten up and
seem grateful.

GRAusrARK FOR mANNER1sa.

Mr.. Frank Mckee of the well-known
theatrical firm Of Hoyt & Mckee has
Just purchased from Messrs. H. S.
Stone & Co., publishers, of Chicago,
the dramatic rights of Mr.. George Barr
McCutcheon's novel, "Graustark; a
Story of Love Behind Throne" Mr..
Mckee intends this play for Miss Mary
Mannering, and will produce it after
"Janice Meredith" Miss Mannering
read the story while she was playing
her recent engagement in Chicago and
is delighted with the part of the Prin-
cess of Graustark. She thinks it will
suit hsE better than any part that she
has ever played. as it has SO much
picturesqueness so much vivacity, and
SO much romantic love. The story is
full of action and adventure, and ad-
mits Of fine and unique scenic effects
Mr.. Mckee appreciates this fact and
will spare no expense in the produc-
ton Of the play.
= The dramatization Of "Graustark" is
being made by Miss Jeanette l..
Glider, who has just finished a dram
atiaztion of S. R. Crockett's Joan of
the Sword Hand" in which Miss
Blanche Walsh will star next season.
Miss Glider said that she had tho
greatest confidence in the success of
this play, not because Of her ability

5Gsual opportunities offered by the
story, which, while it is Of the Zenda
school Of literature, is in no way imi-
tative Of Mr.. Hopes peculiar manner.

parts of New England. Here in 1900
May 9, to be exact-the future martyr
was born. The first five years of his life
were spent within its shelter. The
Browns had more or less claim to the
title of sons of New England, no less
than six generations having titled its
soil since the coming of the Mayflower
Family Moves to Ohio.
In 1905 Owen Brown forsook the east
and settled in Hudson, o., where his
son received his early education. In
1912, securing contract to supply the
army with provisions, the Brown fam
lily took up it's abode in Detroit. Later
the son settled in Richmond, Pa,
where President Jackson appointed
him postmaster.
In the subsequent stormy years OF
his life John Brown settled for a time
in Massachusetts, but Torrington and
it's vicinity knew him no more. 1t
wasn't until years after that the
sleepy old town awoke to the fact that
the man who sacrificed his own life
in the cause of the blacks had con-
ferred undying fame upon it. Even
then there wasn't enough loose money
in the place to preserve the famous
homestead.
Travellers came from near and far to
inspect the spot, and usually left with
something substantial in the line of a
momento. But Torrington slept on. II
it wasn't for the enthusiastic Litch-
field man it would probably continue
to slumber while vandal and relic hun
ter completed the work of destruction.
