As intimated in the telegram from Arlingt on , published fn yesterday BKE , Miss 2mma Froeso , her sister nnd brothor-ln-law above rofeered to , stopped over in this city on their way to Hanover , Washington county , Kan. They were the guests of the Rev. Mr. Frcess , pastor of the Lutheran church , on the corner of Twentieth nnd Mason streets. Both the sisters were eagerly sought by a number of curiosity-seekers who desired to talk with them over the unfortunate - nato bnrnihg , but they were considerately kept away from all intruders by their host. Ho stated that Miss Emma needed rest ; that she had loft her homo for that purpose , aud that ho would not allow her to bo ntorforcd with. Yesterday , however , uBuE reporter called at the residence 6f Mr. Frccso and found that his brother and two sisters-in-law were about leaving for the depot. The home clergyman kindly stated that ho would endeavor to give the reporter all the information which the parties sought for had , when ho should' return from the train. The reporter , however , followed to the depot aud there met the entire party. Mrs. Frcoso , from Kansas , is a handsome woman with a iuco indicative of character and strength. She was dressed in black as was also Emma , who is slight and whoso fea tures have a pensive expression , which is not inappropriate considering the bereavement to which she bos been subjected. Emma was reserved and quiet and nt Mr. Frceso's re quest THE BBC man addressed no questions to hor. She had already spoken to her brotnor-in-law and ho gladly imparted all ho know. "I desire in the first plaoo that you should correct the f also statements which have been put in the papers about Emma. She is not insane and she novcs has been. She never told any newspaper man that she was en gaged to Mr. Smith , Louis Grotoluschon nor to any other person. And it is not true that she was engaged to a stranger whom nobody know. " Mrs' Freeze hero interjected the remark that the truth was that her sister was never engaged at .all. Continuing his denials of the false stories circulated by some of the gossips of Arling ton , Mr. Frecso said : "It is not true Mrs. Frooso's family was in conflict with any other Mrs. Frceso was liked by overbody. She was kind to everybody and charitable , and was a sincere Christian ; and the day of the funeral , the pastor of her church , Hcv. Mr. Hilgendorf confessed the same to his people and said that no per son in the country could say otherwise. " "Was Louis a practical Lutheran ! " asked the reporter. "Ho was , sir , " was the answer. "On the day of the funeral , his uncle , whoso name is also Grotoluschon and who resided In Colum bus , was at the funeral and showed my brother n letter which had been received from his sister , Louis' mother , in Oldenburg , Germany , hi which she told of her illness , and that she hoped to spend Easter in Heaven. She died on Good Fridav and she did spend the Easter In heaven. That letter contained an admonition to Louis to bo true to his Lutheran faith and to dlo a good Christian. The letter was received n few days before the burning and it was not until Louis was beyond perceiving it that it was brought to where he hud resided. " . ' -There was no quarrel between the Frecso family nnd neighbors nor between Louis and Fred , " said Mrs. Frceso. "Tho papers have said that Louis did the burning , but I don't ' believe he did. He-Is dead now aud thcro is nobody to speak for him except us , unless it is God , " Mrs. Frooso said with con siderable animation and tears starting to her eyes. ' Howdo you believe all your people In Arlington were burned then ? " asked there- porter. It was a painful question , especially as Kcv. Mr. Frceso had expressed a dlsllko to asking the ladles questions. After souto hesitation the lady answered. "I can not understand how all of them got into that barn and were burned up , but I don't believe Louis did It. " "I don't think , " ald Hov. Mr. Froeso , "that Mrs. Grotoluschon would take her child in her arms into that burning barn to savon cattle. She wouldn't have done it. Emma believes the same thing , but like mo and Mrs. Frees , she docs not believe that Louis had anything to do with it. They all feel with mo that they would like to have the mystery cleared up. " "Tho papers said , " continued Mrs. Frooso , "that Louis did not sleep in his bet that night. That is not true , because Mrs. Smith told mo that ho did. " [ Tholacly did not state how Mrs. Smith could have re ceived any more information on the subjoc than she herself had. ] Suddenly changing the subject , "I deny" she said , "that I over said that Louis had flroil the burn , and I never auw a reporter , J did not say , either , that there was bad feeling between my sister Emma and ouu of the neighbors who was the first to announce the flro. I would Just liku to find out some ouo who started such story. " "When did your family say its prayers ! " Mrs. FrccBO spoke to her sister Emma and in reply said " 1 was there [ meaning with the family ] , three weeks come time ugo one we had prayers morning and night. ' [ It may hero bu stated that hi tlio prayer book found the book mark was placed ba Uveon the pages containing prayers for Sat urday.l thMr. Frcoso supplemented this by stating r at they had in the Lutheran church two kinds of prayers , consisting of u verso from the Bible with lessons and explanations , to gether with a small book for prayers it household duties aud for every day in the week. The hook mark being sot for Satur day showed that the prayers hod already been said for Friday morning. In resjxmsoto a question as to what time the family rose in the morning , Miss Emma eald that they generally got up a little before 0 in the morning , though there was nothing certain about the time. "Did the children uud the adults cat at tin same time ) " "They mostly always oat together , " cam the answer from the same lady , "but it do nended upon the amount of work the men had to do. " Ou the morning of the flro there wer hrco basins loft on the table with several > ieccs of broad from which several bites had > eon taken , This showed that on that * morning the family had not oaten together. "Who did the milking ! " Emma again answered through MM. Frocso. "li red most all the time milked the cows and ho was helped by Louis when work vns great" "What time were the beds made upl" "After breakfast nnd when the dishes wcro washed and put away. " "About what time would that hot'1 "Perhaps about 1 o'clock in the morning , That depended on the work In the house. Sometimes they would bo made earlier , and sometimes later. " These facts , insignificant apparently , show irctty conclusively that the victims had not > een murdered the night before , as some hcorlsts claim , and then in the morning con signed to the flames. They show that ho workdono about the house and re ferred to already In these columns was performed on the morning of the holocaust. This talk also shows the firm belief of the Frcoso family that the destruction of seven of its in embers was not the work of nn acci dent and that it was not the work of Louis Grotelnschcn. With respect to the latter opinion , It could scarcely bo oxpcotod , in the absence of positive proof , that they would bo ilcascd to pronounce their kinsman n mur derer. Hov. Mr. Frcoso said that ho did not < now that any steps were being taken to discover the murderer , but ho desired greatly , and so did all his people and their friends , that the mystery bo cleared up. Meanwhile , the "thousand oars and eyes of the publio must bo rolled upon to catch every suspicious whisper , sight and circumstance , or else , these seven victims ot Washington county will , like the Turnoval massacre in Nonce county , for ever go unavenged.

Daniel Bandman appeared at Boyd's opera house last night in his own dramatization of Robert Louis Stevenson's uncanny novel "Dr. Jolcylo and Mr. Hyde. " The audience was composed of the best theater going ele ment of the city and was ouo of the most en- husiastic as well as discriminating that over assembled to pass judgment on a now picco. Mr. Bandman has been very successful in extracting the strongest dramatic scones and situations from the wiord story. The dla- loguo is spirited and some of Mr. Banduian's long speeches are full of n dramatic vigor that could not bo expected of the prosaic Dr. Jekylo of the book. The play is consequently an improvement , without being a plagarism , upon Mr. Stevenson's work. At the end of each act Mr. Bandman received a call ; the third time responding with a neat speech , thanking the audience botii for their liberal attendance nnd appreciation of the piece. The supporting company Is fair throughout and the play was well staged. An Absolit'o Cure.

They at first did not pay any attention to his drunken taunts , but for bearance soon ceased to bo a virtue and they resented his insults.

A A Devoted Wlte i Entlood From Homo by Her Mother. liv THE MOTIVE IS 'INEXPLICABLE ' , True Storjr or , jx Dark Cloud Which Hovers Pjrcr the Foiid Uoarta of Two "Worthy 1'crsons. A. Ilcnmrknblo Case. About ono year ago W. H. Kobortson , with a younu wife , came to this city with the hope of finding rcmunoratlvo employment and lo cating permanently horo. Mrs. K. wns a irctty , Intelligent woman , and had formerly vorkcd as a stenographer In hoc eastern icine , and that she had acquired this accoui * illshuicnt was a fortunate thing for both lior mil her husband , 03 the sequel will attest , tlr. Ilobortson upon getting ensconced in a comfortable llttlo homo here , at once set about to secure employment , but as diligent as ho was In this Inudablo enterprise , as has teen the casa In tha cnrcor of many a dcsorv- ng man , ho failed Incontinently. Ho was sorely disappointed over his inability 0 obtain employment suitable to his capa- jllltlcs and tastes , but not to bo completely baffled , ho went to work at wheeling dirt at wages barely suQlclcnt to keep soul and body : ogethcr. Hut in marrying Mr. Kobcrtson jad gained a help-meet indeed , for realizing the uncertainty of her husband's support the resolute little woman herself started out in search of employ incut for horsolf. She was unexpectedly succccssful in obtaining a position as stenographer in the real estate ofdco of F. M. Kent , corner of Fourteenth street and Capitol avenue. The hard task that Hobortson had taken upon himself quickly proved too much for him , and ho shortly found him self prostrate with sickness. Upon his re covery newlj found friends interested them selves in his bohnlf and succeeded in getting him an appointment upon the letter carrier force. The affairs of the Kobortson's now ran along smoothly for a period until their came a tlino when the young wife doomed it best to resign her position in Mr. Kent's onico , but upon leaving she secured the gen- tlcmnu's consent to give the pobition to a yonngor sister oftho lady's , who was also n skilled stenographer. She sent cast for her sister , and in duo time , accompanied by her mother , the girl arrived , and altogether they took up their homo in the house of Mr. Hobortson. At length n little chubby faco'd baby came to enliven and brighten the house hold , but to the husband's great distress the young mother , after the birth of the child was tardy in recovering. Ono day she would bo feeling' well ana the next would suitor a rclupso. Thinking that it would bo easier and nioro bcnoucial for the invalid to board , Mr. Robertson looked about and found n suitable place for all of them. They hailed the idea of a change with delight. On the day of their removal , Mr. Kobertson , owing to a press of business in the mall service , was unable to bo present and assist in the transfer of their goods' ' , nut ho hired sufficient help , and contented land happy ho went away about his duties. But a dark cloud was hanging .ominously over the life of the unsuspecting young mall carrier , nndln the evening , when his day's work was over , ho went to his npw homo only to find the doors locked and no sign of his precious wife , mother-in-law or sister any where about the premises. Ho was- then informed that they hud not been there at all , aud in irreat perplexity he UurrieLback ( to his former homo Hero his perplexity turned into alarm , for the house was effectually closed aud locked , aud every vestige of furniture removed. Half distraught the young hus band hurried off to''tho residence of his friend Kent , and together the two started out to hunt up the.missing family. No trail , however , did they discover , aud in a frame of mind bordering on insanity , Hobert- son returned homo with Mr. Kent , who advised him to , bo calm , aud remain quiet aud await developments. The next day came and went with no tidings from the missing ones , and another day and night passed with no other result , but on the third day Kobertson received a letter from Chicago cage , lust a few lines scrawled in his wife's well know chirography with a lead pencil upon a piece of common manllla wrapping paper. It read : CHICAGO , 111. , April 23. Dear Husband : I will write to you at the very earliest moment. 1 am being closely watched. Youu DEVOTED WIFE. In a subsequent tall ; with Mr. Kent the latter Informed Robertson that his sister-in-law hod drawn her sal ary the night bcforo the disappear ance , and this led him to believe that what ever had taken place it was with tha full cog nizance of both she and her mother. What it all mount ho would not venture to say , as it was all wholly incomprehensible. Then the aid of tha police was invoked , aud they succeeded in ascertaining that in the morn ing of the disappearance , the household goods had been , taken in a transfer wagon to the Union Pacific depot , the ladies following in a closed hack. The note from Chicago , however , had gone a long way towards alloying Mr. Kobortson's harrowing suspicions , aud ho was convinced that his wife had been induced to leave her homo , presumably by her mother , but for what purpose was a problem too deep aud too recondite for solution at his hands. Ho has remained passive ever since , and a few days since received a second epistle from his wife saying she would ro- tura to heart and homo next week , when the mystery would bo explained terms satisfau- faction. There are those who account for tliis strange affair by the fact that Mrs. Kobertson's mother was a woman subject to mental aberrations , and that in ono of these diseased whims she had in some manner managed to control both Mrs. Robertson aud her sister , oven to the extent of spiriting them away. The ilnalo of this strange story will be awaited with no little interest. CREAM Its superior excellence proven In millions oi homes for more than a uuurter of a century.

About this time my tli rout also began to give mo n irreat donl of trouble , I would always be hawklnn nnd hemming and trying to clear my throat , otten raising llttlo hn.ru lumni. sometimes of a green ish , nt other times of n yellowish color. 1 would of ten have pains in the chest , extend ing to the rlcht shoulder blndo. When drawing n long brontii I could hear a kind of a wheezing uolso in the chest. And sometimes It would eeem to mo as If I WAS breiuhlns through n sponge I seemed to be nblo to hearlhe airp ss inc through. I begun , to fear that I was ttohin Into consumption. I was more llrmly convinced of this w hen. before long , I commenced to cough n kind ot hollow cough. The sharp pains In my cheAt would extend around to the small o tiny back. "Try to prevent It ns I might , I was forever catching fresh colds. I wns never without them. Mucus would run from ray nose , nud quite frequently my nose would bleed. At my work 1 hnvo to stoop over quite frequently , nnd when I did so 1 would become dizzy nnd every thing seemed to swim before my eyes. At nlcht my sloop did not refresh mo nt all , nnd in the morning 1 would fool ns tired nnd languid ns when I went to bed. "My stomach wns nlTorted , too. I would sit down to the table with whntscemed n good np- petite , but after n mouthful or two my appetite would leave mo. Hvorythlng would socm to sour on my stomach. There would be almost con- Btnut belching , a disagreeable , bitter taste In the mouth , nnd at last I got so I didn't care to look at food. "I lost flesh nnd strength steadily , and from my average weight ot 178 pounds , I came down In weight to below l&Q pounds. "I w ns always feellnu tired ; had no ambition. Kverystopl took nnd whatever work I might do was done with an effort , nnd after working a whllo or walking n block or two my head would pcrt > plro and my limbs would ache as if I hnd done some very heavy work. "I came here to Omaha and brought my catarrh with mo. In reading the dally papers I read the advertisement of Dr. McCoy nnd made up my mind to try again. I visited his ollicea in the Ilningo block some time in February , nnd started treatment with him , and I grow hotter nt the start , nnd nftor ono month'o treatment , I felt so good that 1 went away on a visit , think ing that I would finish the treatment nfter my return , but I have not taken nny treatment since , for , ns I said to my friend , ono month wns enough for mo. I have no more symptoms ot cntftvrh , nnd am , 1 think entirely cured of It. My ndvlco to nny ono who Is siKTerlna with catarrh , is not to trifle with patent medicines , but to go to Dr. McCoy at onco. " "Do you cnre If 1 publish this interview ? " wns asked of n gentleman who wns rn. riEncE M. HOHENSOK , employed at the meat market at No. 013 South TentU street. "NoJ Blr ; I don't care a bit , for I want any ono sulfering ns I was , to have the hunellt of my ex- per.itmct > , and you can say too , that any one uoubtliiK this Interview , can interview mo them selves , If they wish it. by calling at the btore at No. C1J South Tenth street. " . LEADING PHYSIOLOGIST Atlynnccs Ills Theory of Catarrh and Consumption Ilia Advice on tbo Subject. Ono of the best learned physicians of modern times , in on article on catarrh and consumption says : "The treatment of consumption has made great advances by the introduction of new rem edies , and has enabled the close student and specialist to establish Indications for remedies long in use , so that by their methodical applica tion hotter results are attained than were for merly gained at u time when consumption and cancer were regarded as equally Incurable , and wore somewhat similarly treato < . "The treatment ot consumption demands a careful avoidance to all agents calculated to cause hyperemla of the lungs aud bronchial ca tarrh. "arsons in whom a tendency to con- Biiraptlon is suspected should bo treated with the greatest care and attention. L "Finally , whenever there Is the slightest sus picion of u prodlsi > osltlonto consumption , uvury cutnrrli. no matter how slight , should bo treated % flth the utmost care , whlcu must not bo relaxed until the catarrh is entirely well. This rule , so obvious from our point of view , la very fre quently violated- "Many patients full a victim to the deeply rooted prejudice thatra neglected catarrh novcr leads to consumption. IN SIMPLE FORM Popular Explanation ? of a Matter Usually Veiled in Technicalities. In this connection there can hardly bo a nioro interesting subject than the ultimate effects ot catarrh upon the hearing , Tlio processes of this disease in pol&onlng the breath , rotting away the delicate machinery of smell and taste , poisoning the hums and the blood , and passing Into the , stomach , enfeebling the digestion , vitiating the secretions and polluting the very fountains of life. All this perhaps has been very generally discussed , but the very fri : < iuont Direct of catarrh of the nose and throat upon the hearing has not been touched upon as often as tha subject wan-ants. < A very little htudy of anatomy Mill show the reader that the Junction of the back passage of the uoso and the upper parts of tno throat Is connected with the ear by a mliiuto and delicate passage known as tlio I'.ustaclilun tube. Along this tuho the ratarrhal process extends , producing congestion and lutiammatlou. lly the further extension of this process to the mucus lining ot the tympanum of the ear In caused , in homo cases , slight forms of catarrh of the mldiUu-ear. aud In this way partial or complete deafness may in lite manner result from the swollen. thlcVoned tlnsuu encroaching upon the mouth ot tho. Uustuuhlau tube. Partial or complete deafness may also result from ratarrhal Interference with the nnsul breatlUng. depriving the ear ot a proper supply of pure air or from the ollocts of obstruction In the nasal pasTOges. causing undue ratification or condemnation or the air in the middle-car. In tmcn cases as these , gtmtirul remedies , which are often prescribed , prove comparative ly InulTt'ctlvo. A cure can only bu obtained by skillful and scientific local treatment and let It ba said here that nothing could be attended with more disastrous results than unskillful local treatment combined with constitutional treatment and cure for the dtheasuhlch brought about the trouble to the hearing.
