. Ewiug Advocate:
Two bums, and from recent account in
the O'Neill papers we surmise these
were the sains ones who recently made
a raid on pocket books at that place, vis
ited our town last Saturday. After, visit
ing the barbershops they purchased a few
bars of five cent toilet soap carved it in
small cakes and went out among the vill
agers ready for business They succeed
ed in making about five or six dollars,
and had a nice drunk and left town Mon
day. It is certainly a caution how some
people like to be bumfoozled. But it
were ever thus
What might have proved a fatal acci
dent occoured to Prof. Gordiner of the
Shaker Medicine company, at the hall
Wednesday evening. He was perform
ing on a high trapeze with his feet nearly
tonobing the ceiling, bis head down, when
one of the hooks which held the trapeze
gave way letting fall to the floor, striking
directly on his head. The large iron
hook followed and struck him over one
eye leaving a deep gash. He was im
medediatly picked np and assisted to the
dressing room where he was oared for by
the company doctor and in a short space
of lime was again ready to perform his
miraculous fetes.
Atkinson Plain Dealer:
Barrett Scott’s shortage iu his first
term which amounted to about $10,000
has been settled in full by the bondsmen
without loss to the county. Manv n
man gives a sigh of relief to konw that
this judgement hangs over him like a
pell no longer.
The new hose house is being pushed
rapidly toward completion. Ere long our
town wilt have a hose house of which our
citizens may well be proud. It is being
built by Riley Tower to whom the con
tract was let, nence the firemen are as
sured of a good substatial building and
an honest piece of work tbronout.
BEGGED FOE i BOGTOE
World Hearld: Out of a death by
appendicts Friday night has grown a
•coroners inquest and a lifely sensation in
the city of Council Bluffs. Miss Ethel
Yales, aged 19 years, died Friday evening
at the home of Mr. »Dd Mrs. James Car
ter, on Avenue G, near the driving park,
auffering with pain for a period of five
days under the treatment afforded by
Divine Healer James of South Omaha.
Ethel Yates’ prrents, Mr. and Mrs. B.
P. Yates reside in Tabor la., and she had
been visiting at the Carter home for sev
eralweeks. The day before Christmas she
was taken siok and Dr. Bellinger was
summoned. The physician states that
he attened to the case for several days and
the patient was progressing with good
prospects fqf recovery. Tuesday before
New Years Mrs. Yales, the mother, arriv
ed from Tabor and shortly afterwards
the doctor was told that he need not call
as her daughter would be “treated with
prayer.”
From the Carters and other witnesses
and neighbors at the inquest it is learned
that the girl begged her mother to send
for a physician but her request was refus
ed. Divine Healer James was called and
took charge of the case and the girl grew
worse and died.
The case has created a sensation in the
neighborhood and developments are
awaited with intense interest.

How Two Men Hot Over the Greet
Snow Drifts.
“It looks a little like snow.” said
the weather man the other day as he
looked first out of the window and
then let his eye wander over the great
glass map in the senate lobby. There
was a fine beating snow outside just
whitening the ground in places and
piling up in drifts several inches deep
against the terrace, says the Washing
ton Star. Both west and south and
east on the map were great white ar
rows pointing toward Washington and
two great “highs” Were racing from
different quarters for the capital. From
Chicago was reported a record of 10
degrees below zero and from Colorado
was reported snow deep enough to
cover up small towns. The weather
man was figuring on the depth of the
snow at Como and Apex and calculat
ing the velocity of the wind, and from
this and the general atmospheric con
ditions outside, concluded that Wash
ington was threatened with snow. “It
is no plaything,” the weather man
said, ‘when they have snow like this
in the Rockies. I had an experience
in going from Helena, Mont., over the
divide some years ago. It was a beau
tiful day when my companion and my
self left Heleha. There was deep snow
on the ground and in the mountains
there were some immense drifts, but
the snow was packed and the sun was
bright. Before we got on the top of
the divide it began to snow, and it is
snowing now, fine drifting snow, and
the wind got up to about fifty miles
an hour. Within two hours there was
no sign of the trail anywhere. We
were in a beating blizzard and couldn’t
tell which way we were going. We
struggled along blindly until we got
on top of the divide. All we could
tell was that we were going down on
the other side, and we had no idea
where we would wind up. The horses
were afraid and did not want to face
the drifts, and we were half dead
with cold. In floundering through one
drift we got tangled in a wire, and
that was our salvation. It was the sin
gle wire on the government telegraph
line. The drift was clear up to the
top of the telegraph pole at that point,
but it was for the most part within
three or four feet of the wire. We
knew we must follow this line to And
our way. We could not do so by
sight. One of us had to hook his arm
around the wire and hold on to it
while the other took care of the horses.
He would just slide the wire along
in the bend of the elbow, letting go
only to pass each pole, and in this
way we got into Deer Lodge. It seems
strange here to talk about walking on
about the level of the tops of tele
graph poles, but that’s what we did
from the top of the divide to Deer
Lodge.”
ALUM AND NERVOUS DISEASES.
Surreptitious Use of the Uros lu Food
Causei .Many Illnesses.
The frequent case3 of nervous pros
tration or utter collapse of the nervous
system under which women “go all tc
pieces,” as the saying is, have caused
much thought and investigation on the
part of physicians. Certain inorganic
substances are well known to cause va
rious forms of nervous diseases which
are readily traced to the poisons pro
ducing them. Further research leads
to the belief that alum is a prevailing
cause of so-called nervous prostration,
for the d^mptoms it produces on the
nervous system after its absorption
into the blood are very remarkable in
deed. Experiments physiologically
made upon animals by Orflla, Profes
sors Hans Mayer. Paul Seim and oth
ers show that alum frequently pro
duces no visible symptoms for many
days after its' introduction into the
body. Then follow loss of appetite and
other alimentary disturbances, and
Anally a serious prostration of the
whole nervous system. The most prom
inent physicians now believe that
“nervous prostration” and many affec
tions of the nerve from which both
men and women suffer are caused by
the continued absorption of alum into
the system. It is probable that many,
medical men are unaware of the extent
to which salts of alumina may be in
troduced into the body, being undei
the impression that the use of alum in
bread is prohibited. Alum, however, is
still used surreptitiously to some ex
tent to whiten bread and very largely
in making cheap kinds of baking pow
der. In families where baking powdei
is generally used great care should be
exercised to procure only those brands
made from cream of tartar. The alum
powders may generally be distin
guished by the lower price at which
they are sold.

A LIE NAILED
The following has been doing duty for
tbe past ten years and the author has
been lost, but time has brushed away
none of its original luster. Read:
St. John (Kan,) News: It takes mon
ey to run a newspaper.
What an aggregation, what a whopper.
It has been disproven a thousand times;
it is a clear case of airy fancy, it
dose’t take money to run a newspapper;
it can run without money. It la a char
itable institution, a begging concern, a
a highway robber. B’Godfrey the news
paper is the child of a dream.
It can go on and on and on when any
other concern would go into the bands
of a receiver and be wound up with a
cobweb in tbe window. It takes wind to
tun a newspaper. It takes gall to run
a newspaper. It tekes a scintillating,
aorobatic imagnation and a half dozen
white shirts, and a railroad pass to run
a newspaper. But money, Heavens to
Besty and six hands round—who ever
needed money to conduct a newspaper!
Kind words are the medium of exohange
that do the business for the editor—kind
words and church social tickets. When
you see an editor with money watch
him. I
He’ll be paying bis bills and disgrac
ing his profession. Never give money
to an editor. Make him trade it out.
He likes swap. Then when you die,
after having stoo^ around for years and
sneered at the editor and his little Jlm
crow paper, be sure and have your wife
send In for three copies of it by one of
your weeping ohildreu, and when she
reads about you forwarn her to neglect
to send fifteen cents to the editor. It
would overwhelm him. Money is a
corrupting thing. The editor knows it
and what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks. Then he can thank the printers
and they can thank their grocers. Take
your job work to the job office and then
come and ask for half rates for church
notices. Qet your lodge letterheads
and stationery printed out of town, aud
then Hood the editor with beautiful
thoughts in reslulions of respect and
cards of thanks. They make such spicy
reading, and when you pick it up filled
with those glowing and vivid mortuary
articles, you are so proud of your little
paper! But money—scorn the filthy
thing. Don’t let the pure, innocent ed
itor know anything about it. Keep
that for sordid tradespeople who charge
for their wares. The editor gives his
bounty away. The Lord loves a cheer
ful giver. He’ll take care of the editors.
Don’t worry about the editor. He has
a charter from the state to act as door
mat for the community. He’ll get the
paper out somehow; and stand up for
you when you run for office and lie about
your pigeon-toed daughter’s tackey wed
ding and blow about your big footed
sons when they get a $4.00 per week job,
and weep over vour soul when it is re
leased from your gasping body, and
smile at your wife’s second marriage.
He’ll get along. The Lord alone knows
how—but the editor will get there some
how.
One of the most wonderful farms in
the world is situated in Canada. Its pe
culiarity lies in the fact that everything
is worked by electricity. Two waterfalls
within the bounds of the farm, some 60
feet and 160 feet feet higb, furnish the
motive power, a central power bouse be
ing erected near, and the current is trans
mitted by wire to every available place on
the farm.
The churns and other things have eleot
rio moter attachments. A moter of ten
horse power works a moving machine,
and another works a log saw, while the
house, barns and grounds of the farm are
illuminated by electric lights

EVIL DOERS TRAPPED.
fh«7 Are All Animni «o lleur from the
Women Tlirr l ove.
From the Indianapolis News: “It Is
queer what risks some men will tsh«
to get a letter from a woman they
love,” said John Edmunds of the gen
eral delivery department of the post*
office. "Criminals who can be found in
no other way are often arrested when
they call for mail at the general de
livery window. Generally, the men
call for letters written by some wom
an. Along close to the holidays last
year a Pinkerton detective came to the
office and waited for three days and
nights for a man wanted in the East,
who was supposed to be In this city.
The detective knew that before the
murder he was accused of committing
the man had corresponded with a wom
an in the East. The detective had been
waiting three days, when he received
word to go to Columbus, Ohio, as there
was a letter at that office for- the man.
He went, and had not been there long
when the man made his appearance.
The detective arrested him at once
and proceeded to Cleveland, where the
prisoner was tried and sentenced to
death. Another instance was where
not long ago the authorities were look
ing for a man accused of committing
some big crime and had no clew at all
as to where he was; so every office in
the country was sent word to look out
for a letter for that man. Some time
after one came to our office and we at
once notified the authorities. A detec
tive came on immediately, and when
the man asked for his mail he was at
once arrested.”
