ONE BODY mm IN RUINS This Brings the Total of Known Dead to Pour—Search is Temporarily halted CAUSE OF FIRE IS STILL A MYSTERY Authorities Seem Convinced That It Started From Furnace—Property Damage $185,000.00 Omaha.—After working from 7 o’clock Sunday morning until 5 o'clock fn the evening, Commissioner A1 Kugel called a halt to the work in searching in the ruins of the Dewey hotel temporarily. When the men quit work their search for more bodies of victims of the horrible fire had been unrewarded. No more bodies had been recovered and indications were that no more wour*l be located. Fire Chief Salter, who remained at the scene of the tire almost the en tire day, said he had given up hope of ever unearthing more bodies. “We have searched that part of the building where the victims were supposed to have gone down,” he said, "and have found nothing and it is my belief that all the dead have been accounted for. 1 hardly believe that an}- were cremated.” The body of Mrs. Alice Bonevieu, [ sister of Mrs. C. E. Winkins, acting j manager of the burned Dewey hotel, was recovered from the ruins at 4 o'clock Saturday morning, it is the only body discovery up to the pres ent time. The identification was made by Floyd Wilkins, son of Mrs. Wilkins, and by Night Clerk Nold. A Russian pony coat and a gold necklace fur nished the means of identification. Workmen are now’ digging in the portion of the ruins in which bodies of other victims are believed to be buried. Nearly half of the ruins which crumbled into the basement have been cleared up. Another por tion of the ruins contains much parti ally burned lumber, and comparative ly little brick, and will not take more than twenty-four hours to clear up. The body which was discovered tvas found in the engine room of the base ment, under a great heap of ice-coat ed wreckage. Sam George and John Shady, laborers in the employ of the street department, stuck their picks into a pile of bedclothes, and with drew them immediately upon discov ering the charred stump of a leg pro- j The Known Dead.

Both legs were burned off, one to the lcnee, and the other a little higher up. The face was completely obliterated, and the hair charred so that it was impossible to tell what color it had been. The black Russian pony coat, most ly destroyed by fire, covered the up per part of the chest and back, and a portion of the arms. An earring, containing a set, which may be a ruby, was in one ear, the other ear being destroyed. Of a dozen acquaintances of Mrs. Alice Bonevieu, who have called at the morgue of Coroner Crosby, none were able to identify the body posi tively. Some declared that Mrs. Bonevieu had a pony coat, and this proved the best identification clue. The coat evidently had been donned | in a great hurry, immediately after | the alarm of fire had been spread in : the building. There were no clothes under the coat. The report which was first circulat ed that a man by the name of Bever ly, who worked at the Cole Oyster house, had been burned and which was later refuted, may still prove to be correct. A man by the name of Hanson it has been learned was tak en for Beverly. Hanson works at the Cole Oyster company and Beverly was a waiter at a local restaurant, but just which one no one seems to know. I Manager Nold of the Dewey hotel said | he had seen nothing nor heard any thing about the whereabouts of Bever ! ly and believes that he went down in the flames. Beverly's first name was Charles and he was a regular roomer at the hotel and consequently his name did not appear on the register, w-hich was found. Known to be Saved: Mark Hemmingway, Ewing, Neb.

It is not far wrong, however, to say that it originated in the furnace room in the basement of the hotel. This plant supplied heat for the entire building, including the business houses on the ground floor. The blaze was first seen by an A D. T. watchman, who was making his rounds. This was about 4:45 o'clock, so far as can be determined. At that time the flames appeared to be eating fheir way through the whole structure. There came a big puff like a muffled explosion, then death and ruin. First Warning of Fire. It was a few minutes before mid night Thursday night when Sam Mor ris and M. P. Ryan, policemen, passed the Dewey on their way to police headquarters. Sparks were flying from the chimney at the rear of the house, and the officers told Jesse D. Noid, manager, of this fact An investigation in the furnace room failed to reveal any fire. Then Mold turned the house over to Gar ret E. Veliet, night clerk, and went to bed. Veliet was reading a newspaper In the little office at the head of the stairs leading to the hotel floor from the Thirteenth street entrance about 4:45 o'clock when a puff of wind swirled a dense cloud of smoke into the room. He was almost sufforcated before he could arouse Nold. For God’s sake get up and awaken some of the people.” Veliet cried to Nold, as he pounded frantically on the latter’s bedchamber door. “There’* a fire in the building.

WAGES ARE TOD LOW LEGISLATURE TO TAKE ACTION ON PACKING HOUSE MATTER. $9 PER WEEK AS MINIMUM House Roll No. 442, Alleviating Situa tion, Unanimously Recommended. Lincoln.—Well down in the house general tile, but not so far down but tnat many members are keeping an eye turned in its direction, is a bill which will shortly attract the sup port of legislators who believe in pro gressive economic legislation as well as in progressive politics. The bill is house roll No. 442, in troduced by McCarthy of Greeley county and unanimously recommended for passage by the committee on labor. It provides for a minimum wage for adults in work shops, factories and packing houses of 20 cents an hour or. if the work is contracted by the week, of $9 a week, overtime to be paid for at time-and-a-half rates. The committee’s unanimous recom mendation, despite employers’ pro tests, resulted largely from informa tion in its hands relative to the wages paid unskilled labor in South Omaha packing houses. Additional informa tion on this subject has since been secured by the special working girls’ investigation committee. Legislators stood appalled at un challenged statements that 1,500 men employed in South Omaha plants secured only 17 1-2 cents an hour, a weekly maximum, if by good luck there were no short days, of only $8.40. As a matter of fact, it was shown that the average weekly wage of 3,u00 unskilled laborers was about ?7.00 Worse than this, the average weekly wage of women and girls, who have been employed in increasing numbers during the last few years, was shown to be $4.50. How men could support families on such paltry sums, even when the wife and mother aided in the earnings, was beyond the comprehension of members of the committee. The employers' representatives, in cluding men from the railroads, tele phone companies and the South Oma ha packing industries, objected, but the bill went to the general tile. It will come before the house sometime during the next three weeks. The progressive members, who have looked up New Jersey’s recent action jpi attempting a $9.00 minimum wage for girls, to say nothing of men, expect it to receive plenty of atten tion. Governor Sends Message. In executive session the senate re ceived the message from Governor Morehead announcing appointment of Henry Gerdes of Falls City, C. H. Gregg of Kearney and Charles Graff of Bancroft as members cf state board of control soon to come into existence. In accordance with a predetermined plan, agreed upon at a caucus Kemp of Nance moved that a committee of live members be appointed to investi gate the character and competency of appointees and to report their find ings back to senate before action on confirmation is taken. Yeiser Given $200. The claims committee of the house reported its bill back to the house carrying appropriations totaling $75, 000. John O. Yeiser was given $200 for his services on the pardon board, this being all that was allowed for his claim for $1,200 for this purpose. House Passes Potts Bill. The house corporations committee has recommended for passage the Potts bill taxing all corporations one tenth of 1 per cent on the capital stock representing Nebraska business, an increase of about $220,000 a year over the present corporation tax. Bill Gets Ax In Senate. The senate's first application of the ax upon a bill coming before it on the order of third reading took place when the Bartling bill requiring rail roads to man switch engines with full crews while operating in yards at di vision points was defeated by a vote of 14 to 11. House Passes Lee Bill. The house has passed the Lee bill permitting the city council of Omaha to vote $50,000 for park improvements and to construct a work house. Senator Placek Has Pneumonia. Senator E. E. Placek of Saunders is very ill with pneumonia at the Lin coln hotel. Mrs. Placek is with him. Governor Signs Bill. Governor Morehead signed house roll 353, a bill appropriating $50,000 for the state penitentiary deficit. Franchise Bill Quickly Killed. Killed and buried in less than fif teen minutes was the fate of senate file No. 340, the bill that would have given electric light free and unregu lated entry into any city or town in the state. No person appeared before the senate committee on roads in sup port of the measure, and Senator Heasty, who introduced.it asserted he did not care much what became of it, as it was introduced merely by re quest. Many members joined Senator Wolz in a successful effort to see that the measure was quickly slain. Favors County Ownership. Over the protests of a big telephone lobby the senate committee on tele phones recommended the Fuller county ownership bill for passage. Must Pay for Own Bonds. Upwards of forty state officials must dig down into their own pockets for the premiums on their official bonds The house adopted a commit tee report, which declared no statuto ry authority existent for payment of the premiums by the state, save in the case of the treasurer. COOD DISCUSSION OF GOOD ROADS Most That Has Been Accomplished In Thirty Years in Iowa Is Senti ment—Face Problem. Gov George W. Clarke, in a mes sage tc- the Iowa legislature, touching on good roads, said: “For thirty years the discussion ot the good roads problem has been go ing on in the state. Many of the gov ernors of the state within that time have called attention to the question and some of them have urged con structive legislation. Some progress has been made both in the way of bet ter laws and in the improvement of the highways, but the most that has been accomplished is an aroused pub lic sentiment in favor of better roads —perhaps in favor of permanent roads. Iowa will have permanent roads whenever she wants them. She will have better rural schools when ever she wants them. She will not have either before. Legislation awaits public sentiment—generally aroused, organized public demand. The next great era in the development of west ern civilization is going to be called by the historian The Era of Perma nent Road Iluilding. We are now at the very threshold of that era. We are face to face with the problem No state can longer allow herself to be handicapped by mud. The econom ic waste is enormous. Not in the fu ture can there be such a thing as a really great up-to-date state without good, permanent roads. The great cheapening of the cost of transporta tion of the markets of the country waits on permanent roads. The in stant great increase in the value of land awaits the coming of the perma nent road. There can be no complete solution of the country life problem in advance of the permanent road. The consolidated rural school will go halting and crippled until the perma nent road passes the door. This is an ideal that will be realized in the fu ture. How far distant it is depends upon the people of the state. This general assembly ought, it seems to me, to take hold of the problem with the end in view to ultimately realize this ideal. Nothing could contribute more to the greatness of the state and the welfare of all of the people. All that is done hereafter in the improve ment of our roads ought to be with the view of permanency. Permanent culverts and bridges, permanent sys tems of drainage, permanent estab lishment of grades—all with the view Df eventually receiving the permanent road. With this purpose in view the law should provide for the appoint ment of a county engineer. He should be thoroughly competent and not necessarily a resident of the county where appointed. There should also be created a permanent highway com mission, composed of expert road men and engineers with such powers and duties in the way of the preparation of plans and specifications, estimates of costs, advertising for bids and gen eral supervision and control as may after careful consideration be deemed (vise. I can see no reason why pro vision should not be made for a refer endum to the people of the question as to whether bonds of the state should be issued for the purpose of raising money for permanent road building. It would not incur a great expense to determine whether or not the people are ready to enter upon this work which would add more than anything else to the greatpess of the state, and it would at least be of great value in causing universal dis cussion of the subject which must al ways precede any movement involving the change of long established meth ods and of thought. In the meantime our road laws, which now exist in a disconnected and patchwork form, should be revised, rewritten and strengthened for the purpose of secur ing the best possible temporary roads and for devising methods of adminis tration looking to the coming of the permanent road. Selfish interests clinging to old methods and advan tages, may be found in covert opposi tion. Permit me to suggest that you look carefully to this, as 1 know you will, to the end that private interests may not prevail against the common good.” Reduce Width of Roads. The suggestion of the governor of Iowa that public roads should be re duced in width is a very sensible one. The governor proposes to make the roadway 40 feet wide and turn the rest of the land back into the farms. While this would add many thousands of acres to the tillable land of the state, the best feature of the plan is that it would greatly reduce the cost of keeping the road in good condition. I never could see the reason for main taining a 70-foot highway with a little tract of 10 feet in the middle and 30 feet on each side growing up to weeds. Considerable Benefit. If good roads from the producer to the consumer were general the ben efits to both would be considerable. No Fear of Cholera. Experts of the state agricultural col lege of Kansas, who recently traveled through the state on the “Pork Chop" special, told the formers that they can now return to hog raising without fear of loss from cholera. The experi ments conducted at the college with serum proved conclusively that the dis ease can be prevented by vaccination Efficiency of Automobile. One thing about the automobile is its efficiency in helping to secure a good road. Dr. Hartman’s Plain Talk to Young Men My plain talk to young men In my last article certainly brought out many responses from young men. I take this means of answering them briefly, for the benefit of other young men who did not write me. One writer says: “I was greatly interested in your talk to young men. I wish I was strong and well as you describe your self to be. I am going to begin at once and follow' your advice and take care of myself as I ought to. I will quit the use of all stimulants, tea and coffee, go to bed early. I will take the cold water towel bath every morn ing. I want to live to be old and useful, like you. And I shall also keep Peruna at hand, in case of slight ailments as they may arise. I thank you In the name of thousands of oth er young men, like myself.” To this letter I replied: My Dear Boy:—I cannot tell you how much good your letter has done me. To know that I am arousing the young men in matters of right living fills me with gratitude and en thusiasm. I want to help you. Write me any time you wish and I will con sider your letter strictly confidential and give you prompt reply. Follow the advice I gave in my article. When ever you have occasion to consult me further do not hesitate. Let us be friends. If you will be obedient to me as a son ought to be I will be faithful and true to you as a father ought to he.

BOY PAID FOR HIS WHISTLE Obeyed Father’s Instructions All Right, but Made No Sort of a Hit With the Teacher. It all happened in a wayside village. She was the village schoolmistress, prim and proper, but a bad hand at settling accounts with the local trades men; he was ten years of age, one of her pupils, and son and heir of the village grocer. “Tommy,” she yelled in class one morning, “don't you know it's rude to whistle in the presence of a lady?” Tommy was not abashed nor chas tened. “But dad told me to whistle,” he re plied. "Your father told you to whistle. Tommy?” queried the school teacher, in considerable doubt. “Yes’m. He said when he sells you anything we’ve got to w^histle for our money.” Tommy then took up a conspicuous position in the adjacent corner. Calumet Guarantees Baking Economy Have you ever stopped to think just what "economy” in baking really means? Some folks seem to have the idea that saving a little on the cost of the mate rials—the Hour, eggs, etc.—is economy. Others are of the opinion that they have been economical when they buy the low priced baking powder, and save 10c to 25c. But both are wrong. For the real econ omy—the economy that counts—consists in doing away with the failures that so often waste far more than is saved in buying low-priced materials. And that beyond a doubt is the reason that Calumet Baking Powder is the favor ite of millions of cooks. It absolutely prevents failures—and guarantees suc cess—which in the end is the same thing as economy. Calumet is unfailing—it makes every baking good—more tasty, more delicious, more evenly raised—simply because it is not only pure and wholesome itself—but so uniform in quality that you ran always depend upon it. Two World’s Pure Food Expositions—one at Chicago in 1907. and the other at Paris. France, in 1912—have officially pronounced Calumet the best baking powder made You Can't Tell.

Bowels Get Weak As Age Advances The First Necessity is to Keep the Bowels Gently Open With a Mild Laxative Tonic Healthy old age is so absolutely de pendent upon the condition of the bowels that great care should be taken to see that they act regularly. The fact is that as age advances the stomach muscles become weak and inactive and the liver does not store up the juices that are necessary to prompt digestion. Some help can be obtained by eat ing easily digested foods and by plenty of exercise, but this latter is irksome to most elderly people. One thing is certain, that a Btate of con stipation should always be avoided as it is dangerous to life and health. The best plan is to take a mild laxative as often as is deemed necessary. But with equal certainty it is suggested that cathartics, purgatives, physics, salts and pills be avoided, as they do but temporary good and are so harsh as to be a shock to a delicate system. A much better plan, and one that thousands of elderly people are follow ing, is to take a gentle laxative-tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which acts as nearly like nature as is possible. In fact, the tendency of this remedy is to strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles and so train them to act naturally again, when medicines of all kinds can usually be dispensed with. This is the opinion of many people of different ages, among them Mr. O. P. Miller, Baroda, Mich., who writes: “I am 80 years old and have been constipated for many years. Since receiving your sample bottle 1 have procured two 50c bottles and find that Mr. O. P. Miller. it is the best remedy I ever used and does just what you claim for it to the very letter. I can not recommend it too highly.” A bottle can be bought of any drug gist at fifty cents or one dollar. Peo ple usually buy the fifty cent size first, and then, having convinced themselves of its merits they buy the dollar size, which is more economical. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. Any elderly person can fol low these suggestions with safety and the assurance of good results. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it be fore buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your address—a postal will do—to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 203 Washington St., Monticello, 111., and a free sample bottle will be mailed you.
