William ,M. Carlo w, 31 years old, a clerk
employed by thu Drexol Shoo company,
committed suicide Friday night by taking
two ounces of laudanum at his home, G001
North Thirtieth street. No cause Is known
for the net except that ho had been drink
lug heavily for several days; It Is sup
IiobciI also that the heat was a contribut

tho latter 11 years old.
About 7 In tho evening Carlow went
out In tho back yard of hli home, where rfo
sat In a hammock. A moment later h(s
wlfo'a sister, who was visiting at the
house, saw him drink something out ot a
small bottli and afterwards throw the
empty phial away. Sho at once notified
Mrs. Carlow, who waa upstairs.
MeanwMIo the sister had found tho
empty phial and noticed ,that It was labeled
"laudanum. ' Sho handed It to Mrs. Car

"You didn't swallow alt of this; did you,
Will?"'aSkcd hls'wlfo.
"Yes, every drop of It," ho answered,
"but I think If you'll send for a doctor
right away you may be able to uavo me

These woro his last coherent words. A
moment later tho poison began to toko ef

What Is the use ot telling the rheumatic
that he feels as If his Joints were being dis

Ho knows that his sufferings am very

What he wants to know Is what will per

Mr. Carlow had lived in Omaha tv:nty

BURDENED WITH TROUBLES

Survives.
Ocorgo Duncan, a widower of n month.
living at 201S Charles street, made an effort
to commit sulcldo yesterday morning, and
when ho felt tho poison gnawing at his
vitals sent for a priest. Meanwhile tho
neighbors learned of what was going on
and tho police were notllled by telephone.
When, at 10 o'clock tho police surgeon, Dr.
Francis Borglum, arrived, he found the
priest there ahead of him, engaged in nd
ministering extreme unction, nnd the pa
tlcnt in tho throes of what appeared to bo
a death struggle. Tho priest didn't want
to be Interrupted, but the doctor insisted,
saying: "I'll save his life, father, and
tnch you can save his soul!"
Hut tho problem of life-saving presented
an unforeseen difficulty. Duncan wouldn't
tell what, kind of poison he had taken,
"It doesn't make any difference," he
gasped feebly. "Nothing you can give
mo will do nny good and all I ask of you
Is to go away nnd leave mo alono with
tho father. Please go away."
Tho doctor mado a hurrlod examination
of the man, but there was nothing In his
symptoms that would reveal tho .nature of
the drug. Ho was having spasms, but there
aro a half-dozen polsonti that will produce
that effect. Then he searched the room for
n box or bottle, but the patient had had
tho forethought to dispose of these. Flnnlly
tho doctor was driven to extreme measures,
Doctor Unch StrntPK)'.
"If -you'll tell mo what kind of poison you
took," ho said, "I'll not do anything to
counteract Its effects." '
: The patient was writhing and twisting
In- an ngony no intchfld that ho couldn't
answer Immediately, hut finally h6 whis
pered: "On your honor?"
"Yes, I've nlready arranged with tho un
dertaker to bnvcn cold slab waiting for
you."
"I'm afraid I didn't take enough," were
tho patient's next words.
"I'm afraid so, too," said .the doctor,
"and I think I'd better glvo you a little
mote. 1 havo a lot of different kinds of
poison hero In my grip; which kind shall I
glvo you?"
"Strychnine," como the answer.
Then the doctor administered the neces
sary nntldoto and the patient was soon In
a fair way to recover. Instead of his not
having taken enough poison, however, as he
supposed, the secret of his revival lay In
his having taken too much. He had taken
such a largo quantity, tho doctor sft'ld. that
nausea ensued and he was compelled to
eject tho greater part from his stomach,

ufacturers of tho city nro getting behind
the festival project In n way which Is an
agreeable surprise to even the most san
guine supporter of the new lino of klugi
of Qtilvera.
Tho demand for spaco Is such that thoso
who desire to bo represented nt the street
fair must mnko their reservations early In
order to secure positions suited to their
purposes. Many of tho exhibitors last year
have expressed a deslro o have tho posi
tions they hnd then, so that they may re
celvo tho cumulative advertising benefits
of tho spnec. There aro no reservations
maintained at the central otllcc unless a re
quest for that action has been made, nnd
tho llrst to mnko requisition for space, will
be tho one to get choice. Under these con
ditions It is believed that practically all of
thu available space set slide for advertis
ing purposes will bo gone within a week or
so, ns practically every ono who had space
last year will bo back again and some of
them with Increased space.
Tho nttraetlons for the fair this season
aro to ho far and away ahead of last yiur.
Tho Idea of the street fair was sprung rather
late In the aeusou In 1900 nnd when the
managers began to look around for nttrae
tlons they found that much of the cream' of
tho talent had bcenvsccured by other cities
for the period of tho fair In Omaha. This
season tho fair was anticipated from the
llrst and tho managers havo an open Held
nnd no favor for the signing of attractions.
Some features have already been secured.

PHILADELPHIA, July 20. -The world's
champion Vesper Mght-oafcd shell crow of
this tlty, whlih has carried the colors of
Its club to many a 'victory, went down to
defeat tddiiy before the strong Argonaut
crew of Tororito.'Cati.,' In the last day of
the nnnual regatta of the National As
sociation of Amateur Oarsmen. Not only
was this crew whipped by tho Canadians,
but the eight men of the Winnipeg Rowing
club also llnshed past the champions nnd
heal them out nl the finish-
it wns the first defeat, for tho Vesper
eight. Their Waterloo did not come as a
surprise to the experts that have followed
their worli during the season, and ninny
were the predictions that In the Canucks
from Toronto and Winnipeg they would
meet thnlr match. With tho exception of
two men, the" Vesper crbw was tho same as
that which wrested the victory from the
world's, oarsmen at Paris last year. The
Argonaut' lime for tho mile nnd a half
was 7:4.9,. Just tell Fcconds slower than the
time made by tho Vespers over the same
courae 1 In'n race last year. Winnipeg's
time wu'q 7-53?i 'and the Vesper's 7:56.
Between '"0,000 rind 50,000 people saw the
laces. Tho" weather was beautiful nud the
coCirso was as smooth as the proverbial
mlllpoud. The high banks of the Schuylkill
river w;rb' lined w'Hh enthusiastic crowds
and thousands braved tho danger of the
rnllrond brldgo at tho llnlsh line ami
swnrmed -ull over the tftructure. '
The .dual contest for - the. championship
oi the United Stu,tcs In thu. singles was
not ns Inspiring ns was hoped for, and
the honor will remain with the wonderful
Ton Eyck for nnother year at lenst. Ten
Eyck's sculling wns Just .as finished as
ever It was, and his grand handling of i,he
sculls was cheered tp tho echo. Greer, his
opponent, roweil a plucky race, hut no mat
ter how he tried to push to the front, the
winner of tho diamond sculls held him
tufely throughout tho race.
Mnntly I-'IrM riiiNN.
Most of 'the other races were of first
class order. In the International four
oared ovent, tho Vespers, composed of four
members of their eight, got revenge on
the St. Louis four which -defeated them
yesterday. The local men almost ran awny
from them. a
The association singles was captured by
Titus, forraorly ot Now Orleans, but now
of New York. Titus was' disqualified yes
terday for turning his stnko too short, but
was allowed to row today in the final
through the courtesy of tho other con
testants and defeated them.
Tho work of the 'Detroit Intermediate
doubles was again of ft high order, this
crew winning Us event rather ' easily.
Toronto wou two of tho races. New York
two and Newark; Detroit, Philadelphia and
Worcester one each.
Tho heats In the Intermediate singles
were won rather easily. Tho man who
failed to qualify was E. J. Hess of St.
Louis. Iu tho flnnls Scholcs of Toronto
took tho lead, with Miller of Allegheny
last. "Th'o',mcn'ne'e'r changed positions
nnd finished its named, 'with Scholcs rowing
easily,
Tho- Intermediate .fduNoared 'shell1' race"
;was a beauty to the" turn, which was
reached by Winnipeg Passalo of Newark
and Harlem of New York together. Clif
ton of Stnto Island wns only two stroltcs
behind. On tho run home, however, Pas-
sale -got tho lead -through a pretty turn.
Harlem tried to catch them and In doing
so got into Clifton a water nnd fouled
the latter; Passaic increased its lead and
won handily, with Harlem second nnd
Clifton third.' ' Clifton claimed tho foul
and wns given second placo. Soon after
tho turn Winnipeg, which had n flno show
for winning, ran Into shore through bad
steering nnd was out of the race.
Tltu' .nrrmv I.piul.
In tho association singles theroN woro
flvo stnrters,- Marsh of Toronto, Bond nnd
Juvenal of Philadelphia, Johnstone of Win
nipeg and Titus of Now York. Up to the
half mllo mark the .'contest was an even
one, but nftcr this Titus, Marsh and John
stone lot "oilt a link a'nd 'wcnt to tho front.
Titus, by a great spurt, got the lead half
wuy homo and after a bruising finish won
out by tho narrow margin of two seconds
over Marsh. Johnstono wns third, with
tho two Philadelphia men trailing nlong
in the rear.
Detroit got the Jump first In the Inter
mediate doubles. They rowed a beautiful
even stroke and took tho lead and1 held It
from start to finish. Tho New York Ath
letic club crew was six lengths to the
rear, with Harlem In last place.
Tho International four-oared event, with
only the St. Louis crew and tho Vespers
of this city, was a procession. Vesper
took thp lead at the crack of the pistol
and gavo tho western men their wssh nil
tho way down tho course They won by
abput threo lengths, but would have had
a bigger margin If tho local men had not
steered all 'over 'the river In nenrln'g tho
finishing line.
Five crews, Union, Atlanta and Hnrlcm
of Now York nnd West Philadelphia and
Pennsylvania, both of this city, lined up
in tho Intermediate ' paired-oar race. The
run up tho rivfr was n flno one and at
tho turning buoy West Philadelphia, Union
nnd Allantfc were together. Union made
a had turn-and lost several' lengths. On
tho homestretch Atlanta forged ahead and
wns never caught.
Ten i:ek Still C'linninlon.
Tho.qhamplonshlp race betweon Greor and
Tcn-Eyok was somowbat easy for tho Wor
ccstor- man. Ten Kyck did- not Immediately
tal:n tho lead, but held on- to Greer, who
waa rowing thrco strokes to tho mlnuto
faster that ' his rival, until the half-mile
mark was reached, when ho gavo n (purt
and took tho lead. Ho turned tho stake
In 4:45 and rowed homo to victory In easy
style. Ten Eyck's tlmo was Svt seconds
slower than tho tlmo in the association
singles, showing Hint he wns not pushed

Winnipeg, on 'he outsldo course, wns tho

ately left behind by thn Vespers and Argo

pulling 40 strokes to thu minute. The
champions at the quarter-mlln mark had k
slight advantage but as the three-quartern
post was ntarcd the husky rrew from Tor
onto, with the veteran Joe Wright, the
stroke, hitting It up, nlowly crawled up

really began, but the irregular training of

People con live In n temperature which
feels from ten to twenty degrees cooler
than their neighbors tnjoy, by regulating

Tho plan Is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowanco of fruit,
either cooked or raw. Then follow with
a saucer containing about four heaping tea-
tpoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, treated with a
little rich cream. Add to this about two
slices of ontlro wheat bread, with a meager
amount of butter, and tcrve ono cup of Pos
