W. n. Smith committed suicide yesterday morning at the residence of Mrs. Gardner , 1225 Pleasant street. He left here November 7 last ( or Sioux City , but returned last Wednes day night , nnd went to Mrs. Gardner's house , where he was acquainted. He had been all- Ing for some little time , nnd Mrs. Gardner gave him such assistance as her limited means would allow. During Saturday evenIng - Ing she conceived the Idea that he bad drank the contents ot a bottle of laudanum , and sent ( or a physician In haste. Uut a further In vestigation resulted In the bottle being found with all Its content * . It was about 1 o'clock In the morning when the family retired , and at that time Smith seemed to be more rational than he had been at any time dur ing the day. In the night Mrs. Gardner heard a sound from his bed room , but thought it was a rat gnawing , and paid no more attention to It. When morning came her son , Samuel , went to the sick man's room , about 8 o'clock , to see bow ho was , and was horrified to find htm lying on the floor , dead. Near by was a razor , which he had drawn across his throat , Inflicting a single gash five Inches long and reaching to the bone. Coroner Jennings was cilled , but atter an In vestigation decided that an Inquest was un necessary. The body was taken to hank- ley's undertaking rooms , where it will be kept until the relatives of the dead man are heard ( rcm. Smith had lived here ( or a great miny years , and had been engaged In canvassing for certain patented articles ( or Jacob Shutz. He was a well educated man , but had had a very checkered career. He has a sister In Tekamah , Neb. , whose husband Is In the Implement buslness , and one of the leading men of the town. He also hag a daughter , Mrs. Kllbane , who Is also a daughter of Mrs. Gardner's sister. This quasi relationship was what caused Smith to go to Mrs. Gard ner's house when he returned to the city. It has not yet baen decided when the ( uneral will take place. 1IKNN1SUN IIKOS. Monday's Halo. Another big day at cur dress goods depart ment. Special bargains In ladles' fur capes and cloaks.

PNEUMONIA PHEVENTIVE8. Itrllnhlo Homo Itetncillos to Uio til the A cnto of Mcillrnl Attention. Conditions ot weather and climate ore probably the most Important o'f ' all known agencies In the causation ot pneumonia. The Influences of cold and dampness In In creasing the liability to acute Inflammatory diseases of the chest are well known , The disease Is also more common In temperate climates than In regions characterized by great heat or extreme cold. Pneumonia Is a trouble which falls to quickly upon one's system that It Is hard to discover the precise moment of attack. "Wear n chamois skin Jacket lined with flannel next the skin all winter It one has any predisposition or Inherited tendency toward this weakness , " advised one physi cian ; " 1 find this an excellent prcventatlve. " "It Is also a good Idea , " he continued , "to keep the blood well nourished. Strong food Is a formidable ! foe ot pneumonia , for It puts the tissues In such condition from Its effect that they throw off the cold. " Pneumonia goes harder with men than women , all doctors agree , the reason being that the latter are moro constantly exposed. As soon as the rigor comes on , which Is as significant of approaching danger as the shrill rattla of a snake , go to be : ) . D ) not temporize with the disease. Discretion Is the better part of valor and a quick sur render makes the enemy less Implacable. Take an effective laxative , 20 grains of quinine , a h't lemonade and g t a g ol swoit. lay In bed for thirty-six hours nnd In elx ascH out of ten the symptoms will pass. In children the rigor Is often displaced 1 * . convulsion or violent fit of nausea. In amateur treatment to prevent what ncllntB toward pneumonia care should always > o taken about the heart. Failure of car- lac power Is the great source of danger , nil , therefore , digitalis , which Is such a elp In uncomplicated cases to depress the Irculotlon , has to be mcd sparingly whre ny heart weakness Is discernible. But quinine remains Rood in all cases and tages. It can be taken In large doses , wenty grains or more , repeated at Intervals f twenty-four hours. A full dose of randy ts an excellent accompanylst to this. Cold baths are given at once abroad , but t Is not a safe thing to try without the aid il a physician , and would be classed more H a cure than n preventive. So the old line remedy of a good hot mustard foot iath with a blanket wrapped about the knees ml a few blankets over the body stands till In favor at the beginning of the Inva- lon. lon.Absolute Absolute quiet should be maintained from ho start , for the nerves play a great part n the development of pneumonia. The oem Hhould bo at a temperature of OS de grees. Milk , soup or lemonade , quite hot , hould bo the only food. If the favcr rises : old sponging Is the thing to do , except in ho case oV weak children , when tepid baths ihould bo substituted. Turpentine Inhala- lens assist expectoration , tone up the sys- cm and are pleasant for the patient. Some f the physicians now favor an hypodermic njectlon of borax , claiming that It Is an excellent arrester. If there Is a pain In the side or lungs , ivhlch generally accompanies the rigor , mus- ard plasters should be used and wet or dry cupping , according to the Intensity of the pain. Some physicians are using chloro- 'orm soaked In cotton , with a dry layer of .ho cotton protecting It , to alleviate the dls- rcss. But , again , this deserves professional treatment. If ono has any tendency toward lung or throat trouble It Is well to remember that the ankles and arms should ba kept well covered. These parts are very sensitive , and the woman who wears a short-sleeved , ilgh-ncrked shirt Is more Imprudent than If iho exposed her throat. For this reason lilgh boots should be unvaryingly worn In cool days outside of the house or Inside , f there Is no furnace heat. CHINESE BOBBERS. Blowing Out the I.lghti nml Cnrryln ? Off tlio Dinner. Ono can scarcely pick up a paper now adays without coming across a dozen cases of burglary , but dexterous as are our thieves In stealing articles of every descrip tion , Hays the Hartford Courant , the Chinese thieves are far moro daring. In Canton there IB a bold and Ingenious gang of thieves who work with apparently little hindrance. A shopkeeper will not leave his shop to denounce > a thief who Is committing depre dations at his very door , but will probably augh at the Impudence of the clever one successful vagabond who , unmolested , carries off his prey. A slnglo thief has been known to arrest a sedan chair and to rob the party conveyed within it , the bearers ( they not being accomplices , but consider ing the matter as no concern of theirs ) stop ping and looking on while the nefarious deec : was done. In one case where a short sighted man was being carried In his sedan his bpectacles were removed , his pockets were emptied , and the robbery took place li a long street where multitudes of persons were constantly passing. Among amusing modes of plunder In China Is the flshlnc for fowls-the catching of them with rod , line and hook. A man will sometimes be seen sit ting on the wall of a poultry yard bobbing his bait among the cocks and hens , and every now nnd then , after twlst'ng Its neck , con veying one away to his bag ; and that being replenish t J he will mova off with a simplicity and serenity of countenance Ilka the gravest of mandarins. At Macoa , on the ground floor of a large house , a table was spread for a late dinner. It was covered with many delicacies , and , as usual , there was an abund < ance of silver plate. The tun had gone down the wax candles were lighted and the win dews left open to a'r the room. Suddenly a great number of bamboos were seen to enter on all sides , and at the same moment ever ; light was extinguished by a puff from the hollow bamboo tubea. The apartment was plunged In darkness , a band of thieve Jumped In , and before the astonished guests realized what was being done the whole o the plate was carried away. And , as a boa had doubtless been provided for the transpor of the spoil to a neighboring Island or to th mainland of China , no trace was ever fount of the robbery or the robbers. .l.\XUUXVK.1t i\ Ezra Kendall and his company wllj prescn to the patrons of the Fifteenth Street thca ter for three nights , commencing Thursday evening , Dacsmber C , a type of entertalnmen that has not heretofore been seen in tha house.

" This production , while i Is largely comedy In nature , has n dlstlnc measure of human Interest and a plot o sufficient continuity to hold Its four act together cohesively.

HttMl. Each winter Qmnha anil , It.i.clmrltable In- t.tutlons nre called upon to assist the more nfortunato people who Imve not been able 0 lay by enough to sustain them In com- ort during the colil weather. This winter 1 going to be no exception , and , In fact , It s thought by the authorities that there will > 3 more than the usual number of Indigent ier ons who are deserving of old. 1'repara- one are being made by different societies to help take care of the poor , and among these Is the Associated Charities , which lias doilo a great deal of good work since It was or ganized on September 1 , 1S02. Previous to th : organization of th3 Associated Charities , and even since then , there has been Ill-ad vised charity g'ven to people who are Im- ) ostera , an3 even now , with all of the care that Is being exercised to prevent Imposition , here are some who get the best of the good icarttd people anl receive assistance when they are not deserving- It , or else don't need It. The public was given a practical lu.tratlon of this last winter , when a cer- a'n newspaper opened a relief bureau. Many eople contributed their spa.-e supplies to ils bureau when they would hive otherwise ent them to the Associated Charities or to onie recognized relief Institution. Thsse applies were distributed with as little clls- rlmlnat on as they were received , nnJ the est of them went to Hsscii } hall , In the old ) ouglas street theater , where a lot of people cro assembled who had no claim or right o charitable assistance. The best of the lothlng was scramblsd for by the Inmntej f this place , and many of the deserving men who were there went Illy clad because hey would not Jlght for the. clothing that as brought down there. Some of this lothlng found Its way Into pawnshops and vcr bars , where It was traded for Iliiuor. 2ven at this early date some of the profes- lonal loaferj arc Inquiring It Itcbcuo hall Is o be opened' ' again this winter. The man gers of the plaoe are not to blame , but liey lacked an organization and were not p to the tricks of some of these profes- tonal beggars. This winter all charitable work will be In cod hands , and only those who are dc- crvlng anOi willing to work will ba given as- Istance. Tlic Associated Oharlt es has penad up Its wood yard and gives dally em- loyment to fifteen or twenty men , and as he days grow colder will stnrt the soup ouse , where an able liodle-1 man can secure nutrlclous bowl of good soup by working or It. Of course when a man Is known to 13 disabled he Is not required to work , but one of those who receive assistance are ex- ectoJ to try and make this his hsadquarters or the winter. The men are g veil about hrco hours work each day for three days , or which they receive an , order on some estaurant for two meals and an order on omo respectable loJglng .liaus . for a bed. HOW MEN AHB , lASSlSTEI ) . Secretary Laughlnnd l continually looking jut for permanent positions for the men who are working temporarllyln .the wood yards , so that they come and go , n fast as places can bo provided for themA man In need cf asslttance makes appl ca pn to the tec- etary , who nils out a yank and then care- ully Investigates , the caspr , In the mean- line the man Is g.ven'work In tha wood yard , and If he Is found to bs a worthy ap- illcant the needs of himself and family are mmcdlately supplied. The married men are given the preference. Tile men In the wood yard are provided , wltl | ) good tools and tet at work sawing up scraps.from sawmills , which are cut up Into 'kindling wool , and oak and h ckory cord wood ? which Is cut nto desired lengths for cooking stoves and 'urnaces. This wood Is. sold In the city 'or about enough to pay the expanse of get- tins : It cut up. The headquarters of the association are at s07 Howard street , where the wood yard nin soup house Is also located. Last winter the ofllcers allowed poor families to utilize the rooms on the upper stories to live In , but [ hey were Imposed upon In such a manner [ hat It has been decided not to let anyone live there this winter. The association Is co-operating with the city and county luthorltles this winter , and Is about complet ing arrang3menta by which a large number of men can be given employment all winter. A goodly quantity of supplies are now on hand , but will soon be disbursed when the winter actually sets In. The donations have been quite light this fall , as many of the contributors find themselves In straitened circumstances. A quantity of old furniture , stoves and other suppllss has been received , jnd the secretary has supplied a dozen fami lies with stovea this fall. One deserving family In hard luck has been provided with enough furnltur ? to fix them up in quite comfortable circumstances , and sines then the husband and father lias managed to se cure enough odd Jobs hero and thete to take care of his family. The dispensary Is moder ately well supplied with drugs , and besides the regular physician , a number of the other doctors call there and tender their services one day In the week free of charge , The Associated Charities began Its work on the 1st of September , 1892 , and during the first year furnished relief for 691 families. From September , 1893 , to September , 1894 , relief was given to 1,830 families , and from September 1 , to November 23 of this year 273 families have been aided , making a total of 2,097 families which have been ma terially assisted In their struggle against poverty , besides the single men and women of whom no mention Is made In this esti mate. The officers of this association are : Thomas L. Klmball , president ; Frank Mur phy , vice president ; A. C. Kennedy , treas urer ; John Liughland , secretary. The board cf trustees are ; Thomas L. K'mball ' , Morltz Meyer. Frank Murphy , C. W. Lyman , J. O. I'hllllppl , John Ilush , Thomas Kilpatrlck , W. V. Morse , S. L. Wiley. " The secretary has recently compiled his second annual report , and In the Introduc tion he says : WHAT THE SECRETARY SAYS. "The past year has been one of exceptional Industrial and financial depression throughout our country , and has been severely felt In our own city , and has therefore made our work very heavy. From the large and sud den demands made upon us , and the lack of co-operation , the work has not altogether been so satisfactory as we should have desired. The tramps , professional beggars and unde serving clans , roaming from , ' one relief bureau to another , reaped a rich .harvest , and our second hand stores profited largely by the quantity of clothing sold to , them. Wo trust that In future thlayll' | be prevented by adopting and carrying out the plan of work proposed for the coming winter , which was published In The llee' . , 'VVlth such precau tions we feel certain that tn'e deserving poor will be well cared for. ' ; "The alms and objects , pf our association are being more fully understood and appre ciated by the public , as' ' shWn by the confi dence the Citizen's Relief committee had In entrusting us with the distribution of the funds collected by them'for' ' relieving the poor last winter. ' ' \ "We would again urge ' 'tho public to keep a supply of our cards to W've to thos * seek ing assistance , and refer to us for Investiga tion and relief , If found deserving. The professionals generally Te'lufee or afterwards destroy them , knowing they will receive no sympathy or assistance from us. We would specially warn the citizens against aiding children begging , tiniest known to them. Take their address and Immediately write or telephone our central office , and our Investi gator will call at once upon their parents.
