BLUFFS
SIXTEEN HORSES CREMATED
D)Bitrotii Early aorning Blue in ths
Ojden Livery Bain,
ONLY SEVEN HEAD IN THE STABLE SAVED
Fire Thought to Have Beea Started
by Rome Tramps Who Were Sleep,
lag In lb Hay Mow Shortly
Before Fire Started.
Sixteen head of horses were either burned
to death or suffocated In a Are which par
tially destroyed the Ogden livery at 15
West Broadway early yesterday morning.
Thirteen buggies, a hearse, and twenty
eight sets of harness were entirely or par
tially destroyed as well as several ton
of hay aud a quantity of feed.
Marks & Company, proprietors of the
livery barn, estimate their loss at between
$f.00 and 6.ffl0 with Insurance of about
11,000. The building, which Is owned by
A. N. Nash, was damnged to the extent of
about ll.Pco, fully covered by Insurance.
When the fire broke out there were
twenty-seven head of horses In the barn
and of these only saven escaped. Four,
which were gotten out after the Ore had
made considerable headway, were so badly
btrned that they had to be shot later to
be put out of their misery. Five of the
seven horses which escaped broke loose
during the excitement and up to last even
ing only two of them had-been recovered.
Smoke was seen Issuing from the building
about 3:30 o'clock by a passer by who at
once aroused the men who were sleeping
In the barn, and at the same time an
alarm was turned In. By the time the
firemen reached the place the smoke was'
dense and the firemen had considerable
difficulty In locating the flames. The water
pressure was good and the firemen, once
the location of the blase waa known, had
several streams playing, and by hard work
soon had the Are under control r 1 danger
to the adjoining buildings averted.
The origin of the fire, which ? rted In
the hay loft. Is unknown. About cildnlght
the stablemen turned out two tramps who
had sought a sleeping place In the hay
and the supposition Is that one of them
may have dropped the lighted end of a
clgnr or cigarette which started the hay.
The front part of the building facing on
Broadway practically escaped damage, the
portion burned being an old frame exten
sion at the rear which a few years ago
was covered with a brick veneer and a
corrugated Iron roof. Mr. Rich, the owner
of the buildlnr, carried J1.B00 Insurance on
It and this It Is figured will cover the
loss.
Several of the horses killed were the
property of private Individuals, as were a
number of the vehicles. Among the ani
mals burned was the handsome driving
horse of Pat Ounnoude of the Arm of Gun
noude tt Zurmuehlen. Mr. Ounnoude also
lost a fine phaeton and a new set of hand
made harness.

offered to supply the fountain with all
the surplus water from his artesian well,
provided the citizens would erect the foun
tain. This they did, but the fountain haa
been dry for the last two years and It la
presumed there Is no longer any surplus

Nearly every day one hears Something
about the club work belhg suspended for
the summer. To be sure the club season
Is over and there have been few meetings
for more than month, but when one
Considers the playgrounds and vacation
schools and Industrial classes and sum
iner camps that are In operation all over
the country, It reminds him. If he stops
to do more than tske such things for
granted, that some of the club work Is
Just at Its height. In all parts of the
country, particularly In the larger cities,
these summer Institutions for the children
exist with few exceptions, as the direct
or Indirect result of the efforts of the
woman's club. In many of the eastern
cities play grounds and vacation schools
are being conducted by the clubs at a

In many places the women have demon
strated the value of these Institutions and
have been relieved of the financial burden
by the city. Omaha will open Its first public
play ground today and it Is gratifying to
the club women to feel that they have

In this enterprise, 1150 having come out
of the club treasury and any amount of

The refusal of Mrs. Carry Chapman
Catt to accept re-election as vice presi

Suffrage association at the Portland meet
ing ls a matter of general regret among
those In the organisation who, through as
sociation with this brilliant woman, ap
preciate how much her ability and her
attractive personality have meant to their
cause. A year ago Mrs. Catt declined to
serve another term aa president, an of
fice that she had held for several years,
and she was elected to the second office
In the executive. Now she wlthdrews en
tirely, but only because there are other
demands that come ever! before that work
to which she has given so much of her
life. For a number of months Mrs. Can's
health has been much Impaired, necessitat
ing her dropping out of all responsibility.
She has been succeeded, however, by ono
of the most able women In the organisa

What education ls doing toward raising
women out of pettiness and snobbishness to
a democracy of the truest kind was dem
onstrated this year at Smith' College. The
senior class of 300 women elected as its
president a young woman who waa work
ing her way through college. She waited
on table, did work in the dormitories, did
mending for wealthy classmates or what
ever else sha could get to do that was
honorable to help meet her expenses, but
notwithstanding the fact that the senior
class presidency la considered the highest
honor that can be conferred upon a stu
dent at Smith, this reward fori scholar
ship and popularity waa not withheld from
this girl merely -because she was poor.
She was also elected to four of the lead
ing societies of the school.

Mayor Weaver and Judge Gordon last
week request' d that the district attorney.
In drAwlna up Indictments against Council
man Frank II. Caven and John W. Hill,
former chief of the bureau of nitration.
should bring the charge of conspiracy with
certain other persons to defraud the city.

ing his councllmanlc oath In being Inter
ested In city contracts, and former Chief
Hill ls under bonds to answer charges ot
forgery and falsification of records In con
nection with contracts for the construction
of the city's filtration plants. At the

The district attorney. In refusing to add
the charge of conspiracy to the Indictment
drawn up against Caven and Hill and to
Initiate criminal proceedings against "cer
tain other persons" said that such charges
based on the evidence taken at tho Caven
and Hill hearings could not under the
law be made. He suggested that the mayor
take the Initiative. Mayor Weaver and
Judge Gordon Inslstod that It was the
district attorney's duty to begin prose

his assistants. The states attorney general
is authorised to appoint a special district
attorney on the request of one of the

Many a bright and promising career has)
been blighted by injurious habits ef folly
before the age of knowledge and uader
standing, and many have been cut short
by the unfortunate contracting of soma
poisonous special disease which, through)
neglect or Improper treatment, has com
pletely undermined' and shattered tha
physical strength and mental facultlsa Ka
greater mistake can be made thaa to oon
alder lightly the first evidence of tha In
troduction of any private disease Into your
system or to neglect the first symptoms of
weakened mind and approach ot nervous
debility, caused by Improper or unnatural
habits, excesses, dissipation, etc.
Such Indifference and neglect of the flref
symptoms Is responsible for thousands of
human wrecks, failures In life and bust
neas, domestlo discord, and unhappy mar
ried life, divorce. Insanity, suloido, eta.
Men! Why take such desperau chances t
The manifestations of the first symptom
of any disease of weakness should be a
warning to you to take prompt stspe to
safeguitrd your future life and happiness. '
Tou should carefully avoid all uncertain,
experimental, dangerous or half-way treat
ment. for upon ths first treatment depends
whether you will be promptly restored to
health again, with all taint of the poison
ous disease removed from your syetem, or
whether your disease will be allowed to
become chronic and subject you to future
recurrences of the disease, with ths various
resulting complications, ete.
If we could but see and treat all mea
when the first symptoms show themselves
there would soon be little need for so
called specialists in chronto dlseaaea, snd
there would be few men seeking a ro
luvenatlng ot their physical, mental and)
sexual powers, and there would be none
marked with the Indelllble stamp of eon.
stltutlnnal Syphilis; and the soffsrers from
Varicocele, Gleet, Stricture, Kidney
and Bladder Diseases
would be reduced to a minimum. But as
long as MEN continue to disregard tha
golden sdHgo,"A stitch In time saes nine,'
snd continue to neglect themsalves or to
ertlse Indifference In securing the right
treatment at the outset, Just so long will
there be multitudes of chronic suffersra.
