The wines were of tlio lim-Hl , but rustle simplicity wns sug- gcMtcd by a big elder press In ono cor- uur of the room. Tlio press was not a uicro ormimont. lull whenever ono of tlio diners fell HO inclined hi' would go to tlio machine , place a basket of apples muter tlio press ami with a few turns of a giant ucrow supply himself with real home- lunik1 elder. Another evlileneo of good fallli In adopting the role of farmers was given by tlio millionaires In their method of eating certain courses.

The table wns clreuhir , the hollow In the middle being tilled with pumpkins , melons , corn , grapes , cabbages , apples , nuts , trailing bonus and vegetables of every description. Many of the vegeta bles 'bad been hollowed out and electric lights Inserted. The pumpkins and soiuo of the larger articles had been fantas tically earved. decorated with moss wlps. and with their electric foutuivs they grinned at the "farmers. " To reach the room It was necessary to tlnd a way through a corntleld. The lloor was oovorod with wheat , upon which live rood tors crowed to their contentment. A big stuffed bull was lit one side of the room , his stall being decorated with more wonderfully carv ed and tlliimhmtcdecelables. . Along the opposite side of the room was a rail fence separating the guests from a pig , a calf and three tierce look ing stnlTed rams. Farming utensils were scattered about ami hung upon ppgs In the wall , and all was as Ideally bucolic as the Imagination of the mil lionaires could sugnost. The Ices were molded and tinted to form fruits and vegetables. After the clR rs wore lighted the "farmers" tilt ed back their chairs and discussed the weather and crops until after mid- Bight.

A STAMPEDE WAS PREVENTED During Performance of Cinderella Sat urday Afternoon a Cry of Fire Al armed an Audience of Women and Children No One Was Hurt. ( From Monday1 * Dally. ) During the matinee pcrfonnnnco , 'Cinderella , " Saturday afternoon , by ibo Chaso-Llstor company , the capac ity of the Auditorium for taking care if an uxcltcd audience came close to i tost. The drop cord , connecting the pic- lure machine In tlio balcony , with an electric light socket In ono of the up per boxes began to bltr/.o , throwing out a dense smoke and a penetrating smell of burning rubber. Some one shout ed , "Flro ! " and Immediately tlioro was a movement toward the exits on the part of the crowd In the roar. The show management , quick to reull/e that there would be trouble , ordered everyone to keep tholr seats and In a moment Stage Manager Hollylleld had thoelectric current shut off and order was soon restored. In the small pan ic , however , there wore ueveuil wo men and children roughly handled and bruised. A largo number of children wore In the audience and It Is readily anticipated that something serious might have happened , ; If prompt meas ures had not been taken to allay the fours that had been aroused by the cry of llro. About alx or eight Inches of the rubber Insulation on the drop cord was burned where.lt attached to the socket In the box , but there was noth ing inllnmnmhle In the way and no harm would have been done If the cord had burned across to Uip bal cony. No attempt was made to use the picture machine during the balance of the performance , but after the show was out u test was made of the ap paratus and no trouble of like nature ensued. The trouble Is said to have boon caused from the fact that the whole power of the lighting station was concentrated on that one small cord and It was too much for It. The Auditorium was the only building us ing the lights and many were turned off there to give the picture machine a chance. It is said that some of the boys In the balcony had raised ono of the windows dews , preparatory to making a leap for It , but wore prevented by the bal cony ushers. It was charged by persons in tno audience that side exits were locked and the keys were not to bo found. Stage Manager Hollylleld says , how ever , that the doors were unlocked but that some of the early ones to seek exit slammed the doors to in goIng - Ing out and that the spring locks snapped together at that action , but that there were house attendants oady to open them again immediately should the occasion rise. If they had ieen locked they could easily have icon forced outward as there are 10 strips on the outside to hold mil but one catch at the top to force > pen. A few feeble taps of the lire boll vere sounded by boys who made nn early escape from the building , and a considerable crowd was soon gath ered , whllo the firemen ran out one ioso cart , but there wns no need of either the crowd or the tire apparatus md there was a disbursement when issured that the excitement was all > ver.

BUT THE MAN FROM BLOOMFIELD DROVE BACK HOME. DRAGGED BENEATH RUNAWAY Driving Into Norfolk , He Was Over turned and Dragged Nose Was Lacerated and Lips Badly Cut Ban daged , He Drove Back In the Cold. The man from liloomllold who drove Into Norfolk last night after dark , was overturned near the Nebraska state hospital for the Insane In a runaway accident , brutally dragged for a long distance by his frantic team of chilled and spirited horses , and terribly gashed and slashed about the face , bad nerve. When , bleeding and suffering , ho walked Into town , entered the Clirls- toph pharmacy , asked for a surgeon , stood still whllo Dr. Bear bandaged up his lacerated lips and nasal appen dage although little remained of that through which to breathe the breath of life and then , mlttonlng his hands , strode out Into the cold , dark nlcht In compiling 'the statistics of the different races of people of the world , It is of interest to irote the article of diet , tlio manner in which it is taken ind the extent of medical attendance is practiced in the civilized world. It ms been demonstrated conclusively hat the meat caters arc the strong est , healthiest and the best educated icoplo in the world ; therefore it is casonnhlo to believe that they are the people who govern the world. As lemons ) rated by Dr. Caldwell , the American people consume on an aver- igo of six pounds of meat per week ; the English four ; the German , three ; : ho Krench , two ; and the Italian , one- naif. Statistics prove that epidemics of contagions diseases more largely prevail among those people , whoso diet partakes of less meat and more fari naceous foods. Good meat Is the'most wholesome of all foods to bo taken. True , it is not as fattening as the ce reals or farinaceous foods , but it is more strengthening and contains more blood and nerve producing elements , so necessary to strength and good health. What is required specially for perfect health is good digestion , plen ty of outdoor exorcise and special care ns to hygiene and nil the laws of na ture. Dr. Caldwell-is a specialist of many years' experience , and has devoted - voted much of her time to tlio study of diseases of the stomach , diseases of the brain and diseases of the ner vous system. From conclusive proof It has been demonstrated that a Httlo food properly served and well digest ed Is far better than a great quantity of an unwholesome character improp erly digested. Dr. Caldwell has been afforded spe cial advantages In studying the char acteristics of the people , their diet , their hobbles and the special condi tions governing medicine as a special ty. She has been awarded , In contests with the greatest schools In the world , the highest prize and a number of med als. She lias been making a specialty of chronic , nervous and sucgical dis eases , diseases of the eye , ear , nose , throat , lungs , diseases of women and diseases of long standing character. No matter how long such patients have suffered or who has treated them , she never failed to cure these ailments. In over a quarter of a cen tury in the experiment , study and prac tice of her profession In the diseases of men and women , she has cured thousands who have been pronounced helpless by other physicians. People come to her from far and near to re ceive her treatment and her offices are crowded at the places of her appoint ments and all speak in the highest praise of her treatment. Ily permission wo are pleased to publish a few of some of the cure's she madei throughout the state of Nebras ka. These are only a few , as time and space will not permit us to publish more : Mr .
