BURNS HERSELF AND THREE CHILDREN
One of the l.lttlc One * In Oend niiil
the Mother .May Not Hccover
UetnllN of the
Affair.
By throwing kerosene oil Into n kitchen
steve to make the flro burn quicker , Mrs.
JInry Camera , an Italian woman , started n
conflagration In her living apartments last
evening that burned herself and three chil
dren so severely that one ot the llttlo ones
is now dead. The life ot the mother hangs
in the balance , the attending physician being
unable to tell whether shu will live or die.
Mrs , Camcro , with the two little girls , was
taken for treatment to Clarkson hospital.
The younger of the two will recover. A
B-yenr-old boy , burned about the head and
hands , was cared for nt the homo of a
neighbor.
The flro occurred nt 7:30 : o'clock in the
two-story frame building , 1110 Davenport
Street , where several Italian families occupy
apartments , Mrs , Camera's room being on
the second floor , opening Into the hall by
nn cast door , There were many people In
adjacent rooms , but the accident happened
BO quickly there was not titno for any of
them to bo ot assistance.
Mrs. Camera was preparing supper for her
liusband , Nlchol , who IB a shoemaker hav
ing a shop on Sixteenth street near Capitol
avenue. Her apartment serves the purpose
of kitchen , dining room and sleeping room
combined. In a bed with Its foot almost
touching the stove were the three children ,
Ilalpb , Rossle , 2V6 years old , and a 3-month-
I'4 old baby , Maggie.
' !
VHVI ( he Oil.
Because the flro burned slowly Mrs.
Camcrn poured from the kerosene can a cup
of oil and opening the steve door tossed
It onto the 'blazing ' wood. Instantly there
was a burst of flames that Ignited the
woman's clothing and the carpet where the
oil had dripped , spreading to the bed , con-
Bumlng like cotton the straw mattress on
which the children lay.
The half-frantic mother tried to carry all
their llttlo ones out of the blazing room , but
Bhq dropped Rosslo from her arms near the
door. The other two having been gotten
eafcly outside , Mrs. Comoro ran screaming
downstairs to the street where she fell.
John Taylor , n colored man living next
floor , saw the smoku pouring from the win-
flows and hastening up to the second floor ,
eclzcd a pall and dashed water on the flames
until they were extinguished. It was Tay
lor who found llttlo Rossle burned nearly
to a crisp ,
The police were summoned and while
waiting for physicians Captain Her and his
assistants procured materials from the sta
tion to relieve the suffering of Mrs. Camero
and the children temporarily. Assistant
City Physician Ralph ordered them sent to
Clarksqn hospital , but the boy having been
cared for.by some neighbors was left with
them.
Rossle Camero died at 10:15 : last night.
Tbo mother was burned about the head and
liands , but if she has not inhaled the
flames her chances of recovery are good.
The physician Bays It will require a day or
two to tell If she Is burned internally. The
other children will recover. ,

Driven Over a Klffy Foot Iliiiik and
In Hardly Scratched.
John Ryeburg , teamster on one of T. J.
1 O'Brien's"'coal' wagons'- drove a team ot
horses hauling a ton of coal off from.a bank
fifty feet high last night and escaped with
only n slight Injury on the knee.
The accident occurred near Tenth and
Tine streets , where Pine street Is ended by
'
a high blurt. At the foot of the 'incline
Ilyeburg , a companion named August
Mundst , ' horses , wagon and coal were piled
in n heap , but when they were untangled
the principal damage was found to have
been done to the wagon , -which was nearly
demolished. Mundst picked himself up and
walked away ; the horses were driven off by
RycburB.'s eon and Ryeburg himself was
carried to a neighboring house to wait the
arrival of a physician.
Ryoburg was sent by his employer shortly
after dark to deliver a ton of coal at an ad
dress on Hickory street. Mistaking Pine
street for that thoroughfare , ho did not dis
cover the error until ho came to the bank.
Then ho attempted to turn and drive to
Hickory street along an edge of earth be
tween a fence and the bluff. In the dark
ness he failed to keep close enough to the
fence and was tumbled fifty feet Into n
brickyard.
( Mrs. James L. Hamblln , who resides at
the end of Pine street , heard Rycburg's
wagon rattling past and a few seconds later
ehe heard the crash as It fell. 'Mrs. Hamblln
summoned help and. several men ran to
Rycburg's assistance. The wagon , having
fallen across ono of his legs , had to bo
raised before the driver could bo released.
Mundst had taken his departure before help
came for his companion , but ho Is known
to have taken the tumble because his hat
was found near Ryeburg's cap and a motor
conductor saw both men on the wagon seat
when It turned from Tenth street into Pine.
Ryoburg was carried to the house of F. M.
Whitney , a few yards distant , and was aft
erward removed to the station. City Physi
cian Ralph said his Injury was n slight ono.

Many Nebraska Ami lown shippers to this
market do trot understand the expression
used In market reports referring to "so many
loads of cattle btllod direct to packers. " In
answer to Inquiries General Manager Kenyon
of the Union Stock Yards company sold : "It
means several things. Primarily , It means
that local packers bought PO many cuttle
at Kansas City , Sioux City , St. Joseph or
some other point and that the cattle were
simply sent here to bo slaughtered. This
raises the question , Why do our local pack
ers buy cattle at oilier points ? The answer
Is simple. They cannot get enough cattle
here to suit them and they can buy some
grades of cattle a great deal cheaper at
Kansas City than they can here. There are
practically no Texas or southern cattle re-
| colved In Omaha. These cattle arc very de-
1 slrablo for some purposes and packers are
j forced to go elsewhere "to get them.
Then , loo. medium grade native cattle sell
much higher hero tlian ot Kansas City , for
the very reason that here they nro not
brought Into competition with the southwestern -
western grass and meal fed cattle. Stockera
and feeders nro high and prospective feeders
prefer selling t-holr corn to taking chances
on fc edlng It to "high " priced cattle. There
are now undoubtedly 23 to 40 per cent more
stock cattle In Nebraska than last year and
with anything like n. good corn crop this
year the close of 1899 will again BCD the
food lots of the state as full as ever. Local
packers will bo glad to buy Texas cattle
shipped direct to this market. Arrange
ments Imvo bem made by which the shipper
can go on to Chicago at the balance of the
through rnto In the event that ho docs not
sell here. "
This comment of Mr. Kenyon will doubt
less answer ftlio questions of the shippers
who have written asking about shipments
made direct to local packers.
What Is known ns the winter campaign of
hogs ended on the last day otFebruary. .
The winter pack commences on November
1 and ends on March 1 , and the number of
hogs slaughtered and packed at the different
hog centers Is watched with interest by
provision dealers and speculators all over
the country. Last year the winter pack
nt South Omaha was 550,000 , as compared
with 795,000 during the winter of 1898-99.
This is an Increase of 245,000 hogs over
the pack of last winter. While Omaha shows
an Increase in the pack of nearly 250,000
hogs , Kansas City shows n. decrease of
C3.000 'hogs ' , Milwaukee a decrease of C3.000
and Cleveland a decrease of 38,000.
The South Omaha market compares favor
ably With any of the markets of the country
and shows -that the business of packing hogs
at this point Is constantly on the Increase.
During the winter campaign of 1897-98 the
stock yards received 583,943 hogs , whllo
550,000 were packed here. The recent cam
paign shows receipts of 799,224 hogs re
ceived nere , with 795,000 packed hero. In
brief , all but 4,000 hogs shipped to this
market during the winter of 1S9S-99 were
sold and packed here. This Is a remarkable
showing and one which -tlie buyers and shippers -
pers at this market are Justly proud of.
J. Evans , jr. , of Emerson , la. , was at the
stock yards yesterday making arrangements
for his sale of fancy stock to bo held on
March 9 and 10. Mr. Evans will sell 123
head of Aberdeen-Angus cattle to the high
est bidder. Foreman Henderson of Uio horse
nod mule barn has removed a. number of
stalls in the big stable iin order to make
room for this sale. Seats for at least 200
people will be erected and tne floor space
will accommodate nearly as many more. The
stock to be sold Is In the pink of condi
tion and -as the sale lias been largely ad
vertised It is expected that stockmen from
all over the state will attend.

All three of the members to be elected will

control of the board again and place Presi

ALEXANDRIA , Egypt. March 2. Cecil
Rhodes , who , In the eyes of most English
men , Is the Incarnation of the Imperialistic
policy , holds views concerning the future ot
the United States even more far-reaching
than most American Imperialists have
broached.
Mr. Rhodes , In conversation with a repre
sentative of the Associated Press on board
the steamer Hansburg , by which ho came to
Egypt In the Interest ot the Cape-to-Calro
railroad and telegraph , predicted most con
fidently that within a century the United
States would have advanced the work begun
In the evacuation of Cuba until it controlled
all ot the American hemisphere except
Canada.
The substance of the conversation is re
produced without absolute verbal accuracy.
Mr. Rhodes expressed admiration for the
work already done In Cuba and predicted
that It would bo carried on In the Philip
pines.
The United States ho considered one of
the nations best equipped for colonization
and repeatedly exclaimed :
"You are taking to It Hko mothers' milk ,
apparently with the greatest delight. "
Ho Inquired with great Interest what wcro
the arguments of the opponents of Imperial
ism In the United States and commented
that they seemed to be animated by selfish
ness.
"It la the duty of civilized nations Co take
charge of the barbarians and glvo them a
whlto man's government , " he said. "Tho
United States Is one of the great powers and
cannot escape this duty. "
Surprised at Our I'ayliiK Spain ,
He did not believe ttio United States wouTd
over withdraw Its authority from Cuba and
thought the manner In which Spain had been
evicted and the United States had taken pos
session most businesslike. America's action
In compensating Spain for the Philippines
surprised 'him.
"I would have bundled the Spaniards out
and made them pay a war Indemnity , ' " was
his comment.
He declared that the United States could
never withdraw from the Philippines , be
cause it was its duty to give these people n
strong and good government ; nor did he be
lieve that when they had begun to realize
the results of their work there , Americans
would deslro to abandon the policy. They
might grumble for a time over the expense ,
but that would bo a "mere flea bite" to a
nation so rich. Why not abandon some of
the expenses of the pension list , which
seemed so unreasonably Targe , if economy
was necessary ? Even if a largo navy must
bo built , the United States could well afford
one. So far as the fear of provoking foreign
entanglements and war went , as long as En
gland and the United States stood together
and maintained their present understanding ,
which was practically an alliance , no com
bination ot powers dare menace them. To
govern colonies , the United States must or
ganize Q staff of colonial officials , but it
could do that as easily as It could organize
a new navy.
Next We'll Expand Southward.
To the sUBEestIons."r V tno anti-imperial
ists that the Philippines would bo only the
beginning of colonization , he said :
"There arc no more Islands of the sea to
bo acquired. They are all taken up. The
territory of savage races Is practically all
pre-wnpted by the civilized. The ultimate
work of the United States will be to govern
South America. You will TTobably begin
with Mexico , acquire the Central American
states , then those on the continent of South
America , until you hold all the country to
the south of you. These states have Incom
petent governments practically barbarian
governments and It will bo your duty to
glvo them the white man's governments.
Mexico Is well governed , but n nation can
not depend on one man , and when Diaz Is
dead It may be ruled no better than before
his time. Southward Is the logical direc
tion of the expansion of the United State- ) .
"Tho Philippines came to you by accident ;
these neighboring peoples It will be log
ically your duty to provide for. "
When Elaine's efforts to arrange a friendly
compact between the North and South
American republics were mentioned Mr.
Rhodes called them visionary.
"You will possess all those states by force
of arms , and that within a centuiy , " he
sold , emphatically.
AN to Canada.
Asked if Canada would logically be In
cluded In this expansion , be said that Can
ada had a good government , and therefore
there was no need for change.
Summarizing America's policy he said :
"You people of the United States cannot
always remain within yourselves. You can
not always go on making money. You must
get out Into the world and take up your
share of the world's burdens. Already you
are outgrowing your own country. You
will absorb other countries and give them
good government. Why should you not ?
You have It In your blood. The Philippines
will furnish new careers for young men.
The whole work will strengthen you and
jroaden your national character. Yes , al
ready you are taking to It like mothers'
milk. "

that beQ'in in the blood. What
other medicines drive in Ayer's Sarsaparilla -
saparilla drives out. Where other
medicines make a surface show of
health by cleansing the skin , Ayer's
Sarsaparilla lays the foundation of
health by cleansing the blood. It
is conceded that of all diseases the
larger portion have their origin in
impure blood. Cleanse the blood
and you cleanse the skin. Foul
blood cannot make a fair body.
The shortest way to a sound body ,
a clear complexion , and a vigorous
life is to purify the blood with.
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
"I can truly say that Ayer's Sarsaparilh saved my life after doctoring for years for blood poisoning. Not one bit of help ia

"Last year I was badly troubled with boils which I could not get rid of , until I procured Aycr's Sarsnparilla. Two bottles
relieved me of my tormentors , and they have never made their appearance since. " B. H. BRADLEY , Danburgh , Ga.
' M Five years ago my little boy became blind from'the effects of scrofula. Our doctor failed to help him. We began the

use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla , and two bottles cured him. " C. C. GOPETT , Canes"Ky.
"After six years suffering from blood poisoning , I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla , and , although I have used only three
bottles of this great medicine , the sores have nearly all disappeared. " A. A. MANNING , Houston , Tex.
"I was afflicted with catarrh for a number of years , none of the doctors being able to help me. When almost hopeless of

VICTORIA , B. C. , March 2. Miners'who
have just arrived on the steamer Tecs from

which has reached here , have planted the
British flag witiiln seven miles of Halnes'
Mission , the entrepot for the Porcupine dis
trict. The point to which the Canadians
have advanced will throw a big area of the
recently discovered mines of the Porcupine
district Into British territory if the new

on Aiiu-i-Ii-iinlHiii.
ROMK , March 2. The Impression pre
vails here now that the dust has settled
and things can 'be ' clearly seen , that the
> ope's letter to Cardinal Gibbons approves
'real Americanism , " and condemns those
who had misrepresented It. The pope col-
ected , examined and definitely repudiated
all such misrepresentations. Evidently he
relieves that the things so alleged never
existed in America , for the American
jlehops would have denounced them , and
his holiness thus vindicates true "Ameri
canism. "
Archbishop Ireland's letter appears to
: iavo emphasized the pope's views and It is
generally understood that Cardinal Ram-
lolla , papal secretary of state , has assured
ilm that the pope never condemned and
never Intended to condemn real "American-
sra , " declaring also that Archbishop Ire-
and had rightly Interpreted the views of
.he pope and urged him to make this fact
