THE OMAHA DAILY HJ3E TllUJlSDAY, AUCS-UST 15, 1001.
At Union Pacific headquarters yesterday
thero wan circulated a talo that must
revive confldenco .In that ancient axiom
that there's no killing on Inebriate at least
wfillo ho Is Inebriated.
With a bottle of whisky In each hand,
one hi each hip pocket of his trousers and
another .half-emptied Inside his shirt, an
unknown workman lay down to rest lost
night on the Union Pacific tracks In Don- (
ver at tho Fortieth street crossing.
Sleep soon came, and with It a train.
At 10:67 tho whisky-laden laborer was '
scooped bodily from tho track and hurled
as from a catapault clear across the fence
that bordered the right-of-way. Uut ho
was proof against death and Is now lying'
In a Denver hospital In a fair way to re
covery, with five ribs and a leg and col
larbone broken,
When found the man still had all five
bottles with him. Throo were smashed to
atoms, the two In his linnds unharmed.
He had lighted on his shoulders and buck
as ho was lying when tho engineer nrst
saw him on the track. The only thing
that paved his llfo and provented' him from
being run over was the fact that his feet
were toward tno train ami one leg was
cocked up far enough to slldo up the cow
catcher.

the
confetti or no confottl7 That l tho
question with all citizens who aro Inter
osted In tho succo of the carnival of Ak'
bar-Ucn. Whllo thu stunll boy and tho
giggling girl undoubtedly derive much
pleasure from dashing a handful of fins
cut paper Into tho fare of an Unsuspecting
wayfarer, thera are hundreds of citizens
who believe thu practice dangerous and not
nt all essential to n good time.
Lost year a number of people caino out
of tho carnival season with bad eyen as
tho result of confetti assaults and there Is
considerable nnxlcty nti to whether tho
rannagomont of tho festival will tolerate
tho nulsuuco again for thu unite of the
rtnall revenue It brings. Eveu If the man
ugers dccldo to sell tho privilege their
action may be put to naught by ah order
of the chief of poller, who considers con
fcttl throwing n public nuisance.
In his stand against confetti, Chief Dona
hue Is endorsed by Mayor Moorcs.
Tho oiiilUu of Omaha agree that great
Injury to tho eyes may bo Inflicted by con-
fet'l throwers.
Tbelr statements follow:
Wlmt the OcullNtn Sn).
Dr. P. C. Morlarty I treated threo cases
of eyes Injured by confetti 'last fall, but
none was very 'bad, The eyes were Injured
by dtfst thrown with the confetti. Tho
trouble Is that this paper stuff accumulates
In the gutters and people pick It up from
tlicro with all. kinds of dirt. Of course
when ono protests ng.ilnst confetti throw
Jng thero are lots of people ready to say
that ho Is 'knocking' Omaha and tho car
nival, but l am one of a good many cltl
ens who believe that tho fcstlvot would
bo much moru respectable and enjoyable
with tho confetti left out.
Shnrn KiiuiikIi to Cut.
Dr. 11. IS. Lomcrc It Is something of a
violation of protesslonat ethics to talk on
this subject for publication, but tho danger
to tho public by Indiscriminate throwing of
confetti Is so great tnut perhaps It Is woll
to sound a note of warning. Tho confetti
Is smnll enough to enter tho eye, sharp
enough to mako a wound and Its coloring
htiH sufficient nrsenlc In It to poison tho
eye. I was not In Omaha at the tlmo of tho
carnival last year, but Hlnco then I have
treated some cases which undoubtedly re
sulted from Injuries inflicted by confetti.
I should say It Is a dangerous custom and
It ought to bo suppressed.
Dr. Horrold Olfford I hnve seen some In
flammations which ,wcra attributed to con
fettl, but nothing serious. I can readily
foncclvc. howover, how serious troubls
might be started by having confetti thrown
into tho eyes and I often wonder that thera
aro not more caseo of Injury from this
source than thero nre.
" Dr. F. C. Owen l havo never seen a cas
of Injury to the eyes of any sort caused bj
tho throwing of confetti. I caw a case
where an cy-s was slightly injured by hav
ing a papor holding confetti thrown against
it, but as fqr Injuries from confetti, I have
never seen any.

Quinine and rum and a whole lot of

but not one preparation of the general
run will cure tho dandruff. A germ

Seasonable Fashions
Tho wholosalo dry goods trarto of Omaha
Is In better shape than It has ever been,
despltn the rumors of damaged crops. Loss
than 10 per cent of tho advance orders
canceled earlier In the season remain In
that condition, latctlnstructlons from tho
retailers making 00 per cent or more of tho
canceled orders effective. In addition to
this the peoplo visiting tho wholesale dis
tricts from other towns are more numer
ous than .they have ever been at this sea
son of the year and a large percentage of
them are peoplo who for tho first tlmo
have come to Omaha to replenish stocks.
For the first time In tho history of tho
wholesale trade of Omaha a line of manu
factured cloaks and wraps for women Is
being carried and the men who Introduced
the Hue say that they havo every reason
to congratulate themselves upon the In
novation, as It has met with popular
favor. Then1 will be a considerable change
In tho styles of these garments the com
ing season. Last year the short Jacket,
twenty-ono inches long, was popular. This
year tho prevailing length will be twenty
seven Inches, with a considerable demand
for forty-two and flfty-slx-lnch lengths.
Tho prevailing colors aro to be browns,
enstors and tans. Instead of the full bnck
of last season they will bo one-half tight.
Tho goodx from which they are mado Is
principally kersey.

Among tho prominent dealers .on the
Omaha market this week have been J. II.
Mese of Vernal, Utnh, who makes annual
visits to this market to renew his stock,
Mr. Johnson of Clark & Fanning of Idaho
Falls, Idaho, one of the heaviest buyers In
tho west; Mr. Mattls of Mattls & Mott of
Odcbolt, la., a firm which until this year
has confined Its purchases to the eastern
cities-, Mr. Kdgar, manager of the, Edgar
Mercantllo company of Heaver Crossing, a
firm of the heaviest buyers of the state;
M. Johnson of Norwich, la., who Is mak
ing an Inltlat trip to Omaha for the pur-
chasa of goods; Richard Goethe of Fairfax,
Mo., who comes from St. Joseph territory to
leave orders for goods In Omaha; Mr.

pany, Logan, la.-, a firm of tho best buyers
In tho western port of Iowa; C. C. Mc
pherson of Greeley; Mr. Husk of tho Oak;
and Mercantile company, Oakland, la,; L.
C. Harney. Chambers.
These men all report conditions In the
various parts 'of tho country from which
they come. Generally In southern Iowa tho
reports are bod for cropu this season, but
the dealers say that tho country will not
be seriously affected by tho failure, as the
farmers are In better condition than they
havo been for years. From southern Ne
braska the report Is about the same, but
from northern Nebraska the merchants
generally forecast better crops than were
expected two weeks ngo.

Infant's Coat and Cap., No. 3883 How-
stand how tho promiscuous throwing of
flno paper, particularly .papor which has
been scooped from tho streets and Is full
ot gravel and dust, might cause serious
damage to eyes. Most confetti Is mado of
colored papor. If mineral colorings are
used In paper, tho eye might be damaged
by tho coloring. This is truo especially of
green paper, which Is frequently colored
with arsenic. Tho eye Is so dellcoto that
aricnlc or any other poison might make
very serious trout le. Thoro Is greater
danger, howover. from rice, gravel and
other heavy substances than from con-
fottl. Permitting tho uso of confetti en
courages the throwing of nil sorts of
dangerous mtBstles and subjects eyes to
great danger.

The potato market Is wild nnd from pres
ent nppcaranccs tbe man who requires
tubers at each meal will have a millionaire
appctlto this winter, for from oil parts of
the country come stories of short crops.
In some places tho shortngc has been
caused by drouth. In others by excessive
molstu.'e, but whatever the cause the, ro
ports received by Omaha commission men I
forecast n dearth ot potatoes this winter
which will be hard to supply with any
other vegetable I
Tho immcdloto effect of tbl report was
shown yesterday morning on the local mar
ket.ln this city when potatoes took a Jump
of 10 cents, selling for tho first time whole
salo at $1.10 a bushol, 10 cents abovo the
highest price of the season nnd more
than doublo the prevailing price last year.
The dry weather In the westx practically
killed tho lato crop of potatoes south ot
tho Minnesota line and north of that line
tho crop has been badly damaged. Minne
sota dealers have boen writing to southern
points for potatoes and nowhere can any
surplus bo found.
Thero was a rumor to tho effect that tho
npplo crop would bo vcrj short In the
west this season, but later rcpqrts show
that Missouri, tho chief sourco of tho
apple supply for tho Omaha markots, will
havo a crop as good as last season, al
though not up to tho average.
With the exception of potatoes tho vege
table market was considerably easier yes

Porter will becomo tho brldo of Frank I.
Hicks of Pittsburg, Pa., and Wlnsor will
Brrvo as best man.
Hicks was nn avowed suitor for Miss
Porter's hand three years ago and was en
tirely acceptable to her parents, except for
ono thing. Ho wns thought to havo con
sumption and Mr. Porter would not consent
to tho mnrrlago for that reason. Ho added,
howover, that If Hicks should bo cured of
tho disease ho would consent to the mar
riage. He sunt Hicks word that If ho would
Join tho Iloer forces and serve to tho end
of tha war ho would permit tho marriage
of tho young couple.
Hicks started nt once for South Africa
and fought with honor and enthusiasm until
with Cronjo's forco he was captured by the
Drltlsh. Wltb other prisoners ho went to
St. Helena and was thoro lost track of,
not being permitted to wrlto home. Later
he was reported dead and Miss Porter be
camo engaged to Wlnsor and tho wedding
was set for August 12.
Hicks arrived In Providence August 1
and went at once to tho Porter home. Ho

A pretty diplomatic romance has Just
come to light la wasnington wnn tno
formal announcement of the approaching
man-lane of Solomon Ilorllnger. American
consul atTeneriffe, Canary Islands, and Miss
Jcnnlo Ottenberg of this city.
Dctween postago stamps aud wedding
gowns there may be a wldo gulf, but it was
through tho medium of tho former that MUs
Ottenberg won tho latter; ami In addition to
bringing his pretty American correspondent
a proml(d collection of stamps, Mr. Her-
Iluer brought her a wedding gown at well.
Mr. Ilcrllnor received In his mall ono day
nt Tcnerlffo a fresh, piquant letter from a
student nt Columbian uulvtyslty, Washing
ton, asking that ho save her a collection of
postago stamps, The fetching tone of tho
letter brought about a regular correspond
ence between tho young diplomat .and thu
school girl. Miss Ottenberg had written
similar letters to at least a hundred mem
bers of tho consular service. As Bhe re
ceived prompt attention from all, as well
as pretty sou'venlrs from all parts of the
world, It setms a bit of fate that Mr. P.cr
Ilner should havo been tho lucky man to
win her hand.
A few weeks beforo leaving tho Spanish
lalnnds for Amerlen Mr. Berliner wrote for
and received tho picture of his pretty cor
recpondent. It wns a caao of love at onco
and Mr. norllner hastened his departure
as much as possible, but so ardent was his
admiration for tho author of the beautiful
letters that ho rented a villa on thn out
skirts of Tcnerlffo and ordered a hand
some laco wedding gown, with Jewel) an,d
laces, besides other bautlful .embroidered
robes, superb cloaks, and enough rare finery
to win the heart of any girl, to present to
his unknown sweetheart. Upon his arrival
In this .country ho presented himself first
at tho State department and then at tho
homo of Miss Ottonberg, whoro ho met for
tho first tlmo the woman ho had learned to
lovo through tho medium of her letters.
Kven more than the letters promised was
revealed In tbe personality of the young
stamp collector, and Mr. Ilerllner found not
only tho piquant character he had expected,
but an accomplished linguist, a student of
the llteraturo of many countries and n mag
azine writer of promise. Finding tho par

cannot have a captain on my personal

staff in the Philippines, preferred to re
turn to his regiment to see active service
rather than to comu homo, so I left him
In tho Philippines."
The general, speaking of his experiences
In the Mohammedan part of tho islands,
said:
"The discussion of tho arrangements In
tho Sulu country sec-ms to havo become
moro Interesting than the reports of the
'military operations. What I did In sign
ing that much-dlscusHed treaty was done
under orders from superiors I have been
criticised for tho treaty and my friends
have asked mo why I did not leave out all
reference to the question of slavery. We
had promised not to luterferc with tho
tribal customs of tho native population,
but taking into consideration the position
of tho government on tho question and my
own sentiments In the matter, I did not
feel like making a treaty which did not in
clude somo provisions by which tho Blaves
could secure their freedom.
"Tho Mohammedans on the Islands are
the most bigoted I havo over seen. The
sultan of Sulu, while not the only sultan
in tho group, is recognized by all of them
as thn religious head of the Moros. Ho Is
a young man, less than 10, but he has
mado two pilgrimages to Mecca. At the
tlmo of tho signing of tho treaty he asked
mo If ho could keep his own Hag. I told
him tho United States would havo no ob
jection to that provided ho placed tho
American flag abovo it. Ho objected to
this and requested to be permitted to carry
tho two flags on a level. For tho purpose
of teaching him tho supremacy of the
United States I would not grant that re
quest, but told him that at all times tho
American flag should appear above that
of Sulu if he dcHlred to havo tho protec
tion of this country, which would, always
be accorded him when ho was In tho right.
