Tho death of little Wlnfleld Leonidas
liritt in this city, Wednesday morning
of last week, was particularly sad. He
was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs.
Winfiold S. Britt, and was born Aug-
ust 12, 1895. His mother died leaving
him a babe only three months old. His
father was tha only mother he ever
knew, and as a consequence his father
was deeply wrapped up in the little
fellow and is heart-broken over his
death. He was a bright, active little
fellow until taken down with the
measles, followed by pneumonia, dying
after a spell of three week's illness.
His father and doctors done everything
possible for him and the kind neighbor
women rendered all tho assistance they
could, but it was of no avail. He took
his medicine heroically and seemed to
realize his condition. About one-half
hour before he died, he clasped his
father around the neck and kissed him
and his brothers and sisters good bye,
and clung to his father's neck until he
passed away, seeiniug to fully realize
that he was dying. On Thursday
morning the little b uy was laid to rest
in the Warren cemetery beside the
bodies of a little brother and sister,
that died in the spring of 1896.

Atchison's Vinegar Cure.
ATCHISON,Kan., March 11.—Vinegar
is tiie preventative for smallpox that
the city physician, Dr. C. F. Howe, is
using. Three cases of smillpox de-
veloped here six weeks ago and many
persons were exposed. Dr. Howe
claims that he found people who used
much vinegar were not affected by vac-
cination. Then ho began using vino-
gar for a preventive. Ho says it eraci-
cated the disease here. His explana-
tion is that it makes the blood acid and
that germs cannot mature in acid.
Mayor Donald has issued a proclama-
tion indorsing tho city physician's
theory and calling on all good citizens
to drink elder vinegar according to di-
rections.

fully realized the intensity of the
pain or how his own medicine

Jerry McCarthy was tapped for
#13.20 in nickles by an enterprising I

Tuesday night. The money was hid j

the fellow seems to have been con
versant or he never would have
found it. Their theft almost tied
up Jerry's slot machine for the want
of change.
Dr. J. B. Worley is in receipt of a
letter from E. E. Kirkpatrick, sec-
retary of the board of dental ex-
aminers in this territory, inviting
him to deliver a lecture on dental
clinics at the May meeting of the
association. In his letter he also
stated that he recognized Dr.
Worley as one of the leading den-
tists of the twin-territories, and
since the receipt of the letter the
doctor's friends rather think that
his chin looks a little more elevated
than common; but Dr. says i* is
only their imagination that causes
them to think so, for he has re-
ceived many such compliments be-
fore and they do not have the effect
upon him they used to have when
he was younger.
