NOTHING MATTER WITH WATER.
Or. Jordan Says Kidney Trouble From
This Cause Is a Fake,

Quite a number of people in this city
have come to the conclusion that there
is an epidemic of kidney trouble and that
the dam in the Little Arkansas river is
the cause of il.
1t is claimed that there is a largey. per
cent OF alkan in the water of the Little
river than in any other stream in this
section. and that the dam in the river
forces the water from that stream into
the waterworks. and hence the people
are drinking it.
The first waterworks built in this CITY
used the water from the Little river. The
people finally rebelled against il. They
said it was nasty and unhealthy. Then
the new waterworks were built on Lanes
island. where it was claimed that only
water from the Big river that had per
colated through hundreds OF miles Of
sand from the Rocky mountains would
be used in this city
There was something refreshing in the
thought that people were using water
thus purified and the very thought made
peoples kidneys grow stronger. Finally
some fellow advanced the theory that the
dam was causing water from the I.ittle
river TO get into the wster-pip,s and
people commenced to feel pain in the
resion Of the back Some OF them
thought they had Brights disease. sure.
Some citizens corralled DR.. Jordan on
Douglas avenue yesterday and asked him
10 state whether tho dam in the Iit,la
river was not the cause Of the great num-

Der of cases of kidney trouble in this
city.
well. now, in the first place" said
the doctor, this kidney trouble is in the
mind of the people 1t is the popular
thing just now to have your kidneys out
of whack Some fellow eats too much
this hot weather or he gets little dose
of malaria. and he goes to the doctor.
He diagnoses his own case and does not
wait for the doctor to do it. He wants
something to relieve his kidneys, and the
doctor does not want to argue the case
and gives him something for his stomach
or nerves. The fact of the matter is that
there are very few cases of kidney trouble
in this city.
1T is my opinion that very few people
in Wichita have died from drinking water.
OF course, ii is admitted that bad water
does sometimes cause typhoid fever, but
there is not much typhoid fever here,
and there never has been. [ do not think
there is any cause for alarm about people
dying from drinking water. There are
people here who have been drinking this
water for over thirty years, and they are
not dead yet

worth considering by the business men

TO DEFEND EDWARDS BOYS,
Judge Wall Is in Meade County on
Murder Case.

Judge T. B. Wall was called to Meade
wards for the shooting of their father
as told in the Eagle at the time The
Meade Globe gives some further psrticu-
lars about the shooting as follows:
The citizens of Meade were shocked
Wednesday evening to learn of the kill
ing of w. T. Edwards of Plains, by his
sons. Don and Ray Edwards has led a
drunken and disreputabIe life for years
and it seems that whiskey was the pri-
mary cause of his degradation.
1T will be remembered that he served
out term in the penitentiary and came
home q little over year ago, his family
receiving him and taking him back into
their home circle again. His last crime
and tragic death is evidence of the kind
of life he has led since his respected wife
and children gave him an opportunity to
reform and make a man of himself
1t was his last crime. that of incest
with his only daughter. which so enraged
his sons that they opened fire on him at
his home place. shooting him in the head
and side, killing him Instantly Don and
Ray came to Meade the same day and
gave themselves over TO the officers of
the law and are now in the city. No ar
rests have yet been made
1T is sad, indeed, that one sinful and
misspent life must cause so much suffer
ing and misery in the world.
The following is the verdict of the
coroner's jury: The said jurors, upon
their oaths. do say. that the said w. I.
Edwards came to his death by two gun
shot wounds inflicted by an unknown per-
son or persons.
Edwards was known years ago in this
city and Wellington as gambler without
much principle and it is said that he kill
ed a man in gambling hall at yelling

LONG CHASE is ENDED

c NJ. Anderson of 31O2 East First street
was arrested yesterday on the charge OF
using the name Of y. K. Fairbanks &
Co. soap manufacturers in swindling
operations. The arrest was mace on IN
structions of the soap company and the
Pinkerton detective agency of Kansas
City. The Pinkertons claim to have been
following him ever since the first of the
year.

chased great quantities of y. X Fair
hank 5 soap from Jett and Wood. He is
alleged to have pre=ented himself as an
q Vertising agent OF the soap company
ana had the soocs shipped to some sta
ton c. o. D. subject 10 representatives

ture from the list which ii was promised
would be shipped within two or three
days. In some cases il is alleged that the
agent offered to deliver the premium
within the next two days. Some of the
furniture listed was worth FIVE or six
times the amount OF the soap purchase.
The purchaser was told that il the de-
livery was not made within the next
week they should write n. X. Fairbanks
company and find out about that premium
and that the company would see that il
was forthcoming Immediately.
1t is alleged that Anderson worked
this scheme on the farmers for several
thousand dollars in good coin When
ever a sale was made the agent would
take the packers slip from the box ami
write upon it the articles selected as
premiums and sign his name which the
police say in this case was one of
dozen
