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.

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.

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.

'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

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 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.
Our experience In a large number ot these
casts Is that they have given a false ad'
dress and are not found. In aiding them
you are training another generation ot beg
gars ana paupers. " ,

Secretary Laughland makes special refer
ence to the work of one ot the prominent
nlnlstcrs of this city by saying : ' "The work
of the rector of All Saints' church , Rev.
T. J , Mackay , though In connection to a
certain extent with the work of the Associated
charities , was unique and Independent.
"This gentleman having been handed a
sum ot money by one ot our generous citi
zens for special distribution among the
worthy poor , found It more difficult to dis
cover such families than to provide the means
of icllevlng them ,
"He flnaly conceived the Idea that there
nust be a large number of people too proud
: o ask for aid , through the regular clian-
lels , and that these could bo reached through
the press , by advertisement , which he at
cnco Inserted , stating that 'any person In *
llstrccs and wishing to avoid publicity can
find a friend by addressing Letter C. , Dee
or World-Herald office. '
"Replies to this advertisement began to
pour In , and from the better class of citi
zens , until his full time and that ot his
helpers was taken up with the work.
Many pitiful cases among fa in I les too
proud to beg or make their wants known
vcn to their neighbors , were relieved , and
the fact established that the really deserving
ioor of our city arc In danger of being neg
lected by the methods In use last winter , but
which will be Improved this winter by the
employment of district Inspectors. "

resents a gain of 1,091 schools during the
preceding twelve months. The pupils had
also Increased from. 1,004,407 to 1,040,079.
Ono .cause for this great growth may be
found In the Initial operation of the free text
book law. "Without doubt , " declares Dr.
Scliaeffer , "the Introduction of the free text
books has been the most Important step of
progress since the year 1SC7. Several
suparlntendents specify an Increase , ranging
from 20 to 30 per cent. Others report better
classification , better grading and better teach
Ing as the result of free text-books. "
