Women Gamblers.

New York Tribune: People who hay,

made harmless. The phantom pictures
which rise and fall with the click OF the
ticker fascinate them, and they play the
game of chance with the recklessness of
veteran gamblers. Hundreds of women
give their orders clandestinely, and the
fact that they have an interest in the
stock market, that their daily examination
of the market report is prompted by any
thing beyond a desire to be Informed, is
not known to any one save their brokers'
These are good customers for brokers.

to get even is the usual sequence
There is another class of women stock
gamblers in which the bad loser is largely
represented. This class supports bucket
shops in the residence parts of the city.
like the one which was raided few DAYS
ago. When these women win they are
happy, but when fortune frowns on them
they are "horrid." They want their money
back from the bucket shop proprietors.
They cry, scold and finally threaten to

margins In order to shield themselves the
threat is not often carried into execution,
and the bucket shop continues to do bus-
ness at the old stand, taking money from

that once in a while woman gets So
thoroughly angry because of her lossei
that she does her share toward breal1ng
up the bucket shop business. She would
never do such thing IL her speculations
were successful-hence all good citizens
should rejoice when she loses.

This Is Miraculous.

Manhattan, Kan, March 14.-One OF
the strangest cases that has ever been
heard of in Riley Co. is that Of the
three-year-old daughter of Mr.. Jonas
Bruhaker, of this place.
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough, which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her, she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of spinal meningitis
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles, but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
We began to give her Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, and after she had taken
about three and half boxes, she was
entirely cured. Now she is we'll as any
child, running and playing as IL moth
ing had ever been the matter with her.
The doctors said she was beyond the
reach Of medicine. Dodd's Kidney
Pills certainly saved our little girls
life, when she was 80 far into the
chronic stage Of Bright's Disease that
we thought nothing could save her."

WATER CAUSED TYPHOID.
Epidemic Has Ragged in Waterloo
Nearly All Winter,


Waterloo, Ia, March 1G.-The cause
of the typhoid fever epidemic from
which Waterloo has suffered the great
er part of the winter, and from which
many deaths have occurred, has at last
been found. DIR. w. l.. Berring and
DIR. Henry Albert the bacteriologists of
the University of Iowa, have filed their
report of the examinations conducted
by them. and the report shows plainly
that the water furnished the city by
the Waterloo Water company is the
cause of the trouble and that this wa
ter is burdencd to an alarming extent
with typhoid germs. While for some
time the people have feared that the
city water was the cause of the trouble
and have been by order of the city
board of health boiling all water used
for drinking purposes the finding of
the typhoid germs to such an extent In
the city water is Il surprise. Ever since
the typhoid came to be of more than
ordinary prevalence, the health officers
have worked on the case. The ordcr to
boil the water was carried out in gem
eral and the disease gradually lowered
in the number of cases in the city. A
couple of weeks ago the report showed
that there We're 1856 cases in the city,
but since that time numbers have re-
covered from the disease and few new
cases In comparison with the former
number were found, and ii is believed
that the epidemic is gradually being
driven ont.
The water secured by the water COM
pany from the Cedar river is con-
demned in strong terms by Drs. Bier
ring and Albert The entire supply of
city water is received from the ceaa:

A Dozen Country Eaas.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: She was
an energetic lady whose adage is Save
the pennies and the dollars will take care
of themselves" Not long ago she decided
that hard boiled eggs would be pleas
ant diversion from meat for a light sup
per- and promptly bought a dozen best
eggs from the corner grocery. She gave
the proper directions to the maid and
went out on the stoop, happy in the con-
seriousness that the supper was planned
for one day at least. But her attention
was soon attracted by a huckesters Wag-
on IN which was a huge box of eggs.
"tiow nuch?" she asked, and was as
tonished at the reply, us cents-and coun-
try eggs, at that"
Being quick to act where money mat
tiers were concerned, she bought dozen
eggs at is cents, and delivering them to
the maid, instructed that the other be
carefully put back in the same paper bag
in which they had come and taken over to
the grocery. And tell them, please, to
give you back 20 cents,'a she added,
sweetly.
However. 1T was scarcely more than an
hour later that the grocery man came
around himself and rang the front door
bell viciously.

Mrs. Blank produced her pocketbook
