RECEIPTS HAVE FALLEN OFF.
Street Railway Superintendent Find
Out Cause

Superintendent w. r. Morrison, of the
Wichita Railroad and Light company.
says fewer people are riding on the street
cars than at this time last year. lie made
investigation to determine the cause of
the falling off. and his conclusions are
somewhat startling but not discreditable
to Wichita. He says people are saving
money TO pay for their homes
Mr.. Morrison says that a great many
men in the city who work for salary
at this time last year paid their rent
and spent the rest of their money. Rents
got high and Nancy of the people who
rented homes have gone into the Build
ing and Loan associations and built their
own homes or have bought them or the
installment plan. When u man gets his
own home he wants to pay Tor il. and he
saves more money than formerly. He
does not ride down to the business center
after supper as often as formerly. and
that causes the street car company 10
collect less money.
This is certainly very unusual way Of
accounting for the falling OF in street
car receipts. and it is creditable to the
business sagacity Of Mr.. Morrison that
: he was able to discover the cause OF the
shrinkage of receipts. The cause as
signed is a very reasonable one. and wiz
be accepted by people who know OF the
big building boom in this city.
The more people who own their homes

WILL EAT EXPORT BEEF.
Whitlock Bros. Will Give Wichita
Great Treat.

Many of the people of this city will
this week eat the finest beef in the world.
Butchers tell about fine steaks in New
York selling on the block for thirty-five
cents. They are cut from export steers
some of the cities of this country and
Europe.
How many people can tell what an
export steer is? The export steer is fed
on Germ to a finish and when that is done
he will weigh at the least 1.500 pounds
and even more If he IS the best. The
only export steers in this country this
winter were five head fed by Mr.. Long
fellow Of Gypsum township. They were
on full feed for more than year and
weighed when sold TO Fred Dold last
week over $500 pounds.
These steers were butchered by Dold
and sold to Whitlock Brothers at cost
and they intend to sell them at the regu-
lar price for ordinary good beef. Doid and
Whitlock are working for nothing in or
der to give the people of this city some
of the finest beef ever butchered in any
country for their Christmas dinners.
These cattle will be on sale at the meat
market of Whitlock Brothers. commene-
ing tomorrow morning and people who
do not want fine piece OF beef can go
there and see wha- export beef looks
like. When they have seen these cattle
they viii ever after be able to tell the
beef of an export steer from that OF
an old Gamer COW. They have been
hanging for about a week in Dold's new
cooler and the meat will be in fine con-
dition tomorrow

WATER FOR DYSPEPSIA.
Distilled Water Said to be Valuable in
Its Treatment

work on pure water in its relation to
health, points out the great value of dis
titled water in the treatment of stomach
affections For cleansing a foul stom-
ach,'' says the professor, which is the
cause of moro than half the cases of dys-
pepsia people suffer from. there is nothing
better than distilled wafer slipped slowly
while quite hot. In addition to its cleans
ing power. the heat will increase the flow
of the digestive juices. The water should
be taken about an hour before eating. at
rising, and just before retiring. We have
known many very stubborn cases to give
way completely before this treatment"

HENRY MARTIN HAS
GENERAL PARESIS
Man Is Afflicted with Peculiar
Insanity.
THINKS HE HAS MONEY
Severe Cold Bothers Insane
Patient Considerably

General paresfs is the uncommon form
of insanity with which Henry Martin i.
afflicted.
Martin was brought to the city from
Mt. Hope on a complain sworn out by
the county attorney and was adjudged in
sane in the probate court yesterday after
noon. Martin is man about 40 years
old and Is presumably alone in the world
No relatives were present at the trial
and as far as is known he has none.
Paresis, or as it is often called, paraly-
sis of the insane. is gradual paralysis
of the entire body and is incurable. II
is a comparatively new disease in this
country, although very common in the
old countries. In 1S43 the disease was
first noticed in this country by DR..
Luther B. Bell of The Mccain asylum,
near Boston. and in 1S47 few more
cases appeared. From that time on the
disease has been gradually spreading.
In the old country, especially among
the French people, the disease is quite
common, there being about 80 per cent
Of the cases sent 10 the asylum of This
nature. In this country from to 10 per
cent are paresis.
The disease is more common in men
than women. In France it occurs nine
land four to men to one inwomen, and
in America seven men to one woman. In
the early stages it is often misnamed.
and unless the symptoms are carefully
watched will soon arrive at a stage that
is incurable
One of Martins hallucinaJions was
that he was worth about $4,000, and
about year ago when in the city he had
Clarence Smith showing him over the
county as a prospective land buyer. He
wrote numerous letters concerning his
money, some of which were offered as
evidence. A peculiar manner in his writ
ing was brought out by DR.. Charles Ross
in his examination yesterday at the trial.
The prisoner was asked to write a sem
tencetence and when he did so from die
tation it was noticed that he would, in
many instances. write the last letetrs OF
word first and afterwards fill in the
beginning letters. The following is one
of the letters that was introduced as
evidence:

1t will be noticed that the wording is
entirely uninteligible and that many
words are left out, which DR.. Ross claims
is one of the symptoms of the malady.
This patient is only in the first stages
of the disease said the doctor, land in
the last stages will develop into dementia
of the worst form.
Martin was taken to the county Jail OF

the trial. '"rhat is hte best hotel ] have

A SERIOUS EMBARRASSME
Washington Hopes the venezueI
Blockade Will Soon End.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The earno
hope is expressed by officials havii
to do with Venezuelan matters til
the European allies will come to q
agreement promptly and call off t.,
blockade that is still in force. It's Ccn
tinuance is a serious embarrassmo
to the people OF Venezuela. The differ
ence between the offers of Mr.. Bowe,
and the demands of the allies, it is felt
here. are not such as should require
continuance CT the present condition ol
affairs On the Venezuelan coast.
Any further material delay in reach
ing an agreement, it is believed here
will not arise from any irreconciliablt
differences between the offers of Mr.
Bowen and the demands of the Euro
pean governments, but from a feeling
on the part of the allies that the!
should be over cautious and insisten
on al absolutely binding agreement
even in small matters.

Venezuelan Negotiators Discuss a
Minor Detail.

Washington, Jan 2S.-The first Joint
conference Of the Venezuelan negotia-

appointment at Mr. Bowen's apart
ments, the ranking diplomat, Signor
Mayer des Planches, the Italian am
bassador, making the representations
in French to Mr.. Bowen. The question
under discussion was a matter of the
merest detail, the envcys wishing to
know whether the monthly payment to
the allies should be in proportion to
the amount of the claims. or whether
Great Britain, Germany and Italy
would receive the same amounts each
month until the indemnity was paid.
Mr. Bowen said he was quite willing

they might make would be satisfactory
