Kansas City, August 15.-Goorgo Evans, manager of the American Trans fer Company, murdered his wife, Mrs. Lillie Maude Evans, at their homo in the Southern part of tho oity to-day. Later, Evans was found doad in St. Mary's cemetery, two milos away, hav ing shot himself with a revolver. According to ? servant girl, who was tho only witness to the tragody, Evans walked into his wife's apartments and (ired two shots at her. None of the bullets took effect. Dragging tho woman toward him by her hair, Evans placed his pistol at the back of her nook and fired, literally blowing her hoad off. Mra. Evans flied a suit for divorce last Wednesday, and this was probably the primary cause of the murder. 8ho chargod her husband with being drunk and eruol in his treatment, toward her, and it was intimated in society olrolos that other details more sensational would be forthcoming.

It ls the custom io some families to] keep a bottle of whiskey io the house te use in ease of sloknoas. The variety of ailments whloh this same remedy ls supposed to eure is amazing. No patent medicine that was ever invented and sold at one dollar per bottle ls expected to do duty for so many occasions. If one of the ohildren has a bad oold ! it is gi ven a little "toddy" to warm it| up and ouro the oold, If another obild is stricken down with fever lt is given whiskey, notwithstand ing its warming qualities, to strengthen the obild, when anybody and everybody knows that if you was to givo lt to the strongest man in town when he is feel ing at his very best it will make hia] knees wabble. If the ohildren have the toothaohe, headache, sideaohe or any other kind of an aohe whloh flesh is heir to, they are given a little of this universal painkiller. Unfortunately it is only a little they are giv?n at flrst, for if they were given much they would rebel and refuse to swallow the fiery stuff, but when it ia mixed with a little sugar and water they will take it without muoh trouble, though In nine oaseB out of ten the taste is disa greeable to thom at flrst. We have to cultivate a taste for some things. Few people like olives and oysters when eat ing them for the first time. Do you ever'stop to think what you are doing whoo you are giving toddy to a small child? Why, you are cultivating a taste for alcoholio drinks and if some time in the futuro that ohild is a drunk ard you will have no one to blame but yourself. A thoughtful physlolan will not pr HOI ibu opium for a patient who has a | obrouio disorders beoause he knows that the opium habit 1B easily aequlred and they do not want the responsibility, of making an opium fiend. Why are we not all as careful about giving aloohollo drinks when we know they oannot safely be trifled with? It is very easy to got on without thom if we are not accustomed to their uso. One trouble about keeping them for medicinal purposes is that they - have a tondenoy to make attaoks of sickness more frequent among the older members of a family. A story is told of a farmer and his son who concluded tl at they were both beginning to tako a "drop too muoh." Af tor gravely talking the matter over they resolved to lot tho stuff severely alone in tho future. Then the father suggested that thoy krop a little on hand to uso for sioUnoss. This was agreed to; BO thoy got a jug of whiskey and oairiod it homo, both promising that they would not touch it unless seriously ill. Ono day not long after this tho son deoidod that ho was not feeling at all well and that ho would be justified in taking a drink from tho jug. To his great astonishment ho found it to be quito empty. Uo went to his father and asked for an explanation. His father ropliod, "My son, I have been sick ever since that jug was brought in tho house." Instead of curing siokness it seems to havo boen tho direct cause of it in this caso. Sam Jonos certainly considers it a j dangerous thing to have in the family. He says he wouldn't risk giving it to a woman unless sho was dying-and he wouldn't givo it to a woman until after ho was dead." w. c. T. U.
