LITTLE KNOWN OF HIS PAST
Telia People at Hospital He ie Kara

He Waa Addicted to ta
Morphine Habit.
Oliver Hamilton,' the stranger who was
placed Tuesday afternoon In fit. Bernard's
hospital by Major Richmond, chief of
police, as he showed every sign of being
mentally deranged as the result of ex
cesslve us- of morphine, committed suicide
on Broadway near Main street ahortly be
fore 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Hanrll
ton la believed to have swallowed the con
tenta of a bottle of stryohnlne and the
symptoms exhibited by him before his
death ae well as a statement made by him
Indicate that thla waa the means he
adopted to end his life. Hi death occur
red less than three hours after he had
been dlschargd from St. Bernard's hospital
on ordara from the commissioners on in
sanity.
Nothing was learned yesterday of Ham
ilton'a movements from the time he was
discharged from the hospital until he was
found on the stairway at 419 West Broad
way In the agony of death by William
Frailer, an employe of the .- Manhattan
restaurant, on the opposite side of the
street. Fraxler's attention waa called to
the man by the fact that he appeared to
be In great suffering as he was swaying
backward and forward on the steps. Fra
iler crossed the street and tapping the ap
parently alck man on the shoulder aald:
"What' the matter, shall I, call a doc
tort" ,
"I've taken strychnine, let me alone, ',
don't want any doctor," was ' the man's
reply.
Frailer, realising that the man was In
great agony started to telephone for
doctor. By this time a small ' crowd had
gathered and suddenly the man, who was
sitting on about the ' fourth ' step from
the bottom, slipped down cod lay at full
length on the sidewalk.
About thla time Dr. J. H. Gasson, who
had been summond by Frailer, arrived on
the acene and had the unfortunate man
carried to his office just across the street.
The usual remedies were at once applied,
but the man died a few minutes after being
taken to the office. On orders from Cor
oner Treynor, who was summoned, the
body waa removed to Cutler's undertaking
rooms.
Appeared to Bo national.
When Dr. J. M. Baratow and H. V.
Battey of the Board of Insanity called to
examine Hamilton at tH hospital yester
day he appeared perfectly rational, they
aald. He explained his condition by stat
ing that he used morphine In extreme quan
tities, thirty grains In the morning and the
aame dose at night. He told the commis
sioners that ha waa a nurse and that he
had accompanied a patient from Bt. Louis,
whom he had turnod over to relatives In
Omaha. He named two doctors In St. Louis
for whom he aald he had worked, both
doctors being known to Dr. Barstow. He
stated that he had a friend In Omaha,
named McMahon, a civil engineer, who had
offices on Thirteenth atreet opposite the
Bt. James hotel.
When Dr. Baratow suggested to Hamilton
that he atay a few days' In the hospital
Hamilton declared that If he only got the
small amount of morphine allowed htm In
the hospital he would likely be there for
two or three months.
"You don't want to keep me here, and I
don't want to stay here. I want to get
back home to St. I-outs, where I will be
"better off," raid Hamilton.
Thla ended the Interview at the hospital
and the commissioners left. Iater. while
In session at the court house, the commis
sioners telephoned to the hospital to In
quire aa to Hamilton' condition. Attend
ant Gallagher replied that the man was
apparently In good condition, and accord
ingly the commissioner ordered him dis
charged. A bottle which Is believed to have con
tained the strychnine taken by Hamilton
waa picked up on the stairway where he
sat down to die. There was no label on It
to show where the unfortunate man had
procured the poison and the police were
unable to, ascertain.
Coroner Treynor held a post mortem last
evening, which proved that the man had
taken strychnine. He decided that an In
quest would be unnecessary. ,

A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISINQ
written by Seymour Eaton of Philadelphia
for the readers ot THE OMAHA BEE
I have a bunch of letters from advertisers asking, me
to criticize their advertisements; to tell them wherein the
copy is bad or good. . ' -
It is nearly all bad; but sometimes even bad adver
tisements pay, which shows what a force advertising is.
The better the copy, as a general rule, the. better the re
sults. Good copy for one class of trade might be very
poor copy for another. But there are a few broad general
principles which are always true.
Your advertisement should be attractive enough to
catch the eye. Size doesn't do this. A two inch single
column card may be made to attract more notice than aa
announcement as big as a sheet of note paper. If your ad
vertisement isn't seen it isn't read and if it isn' read no
matter if. it has ten million circulation it isn't worth a.
postage stamp. You are not investing in 'circulation but
in readers of advertisements. "
1
The next point is to make your advertisement read-,
able. As a rule the most readable copy is printed in fairly
large book tj-pe; one kind of tje with a display heading
or two and the reading matter divided into easy para
graphs. Most advertisers think that by crowding the
space to its utmost they are getting bigger value for their
money. Within reasonable limits the very opposite is.
true. Ten words read are worth more than ten thousand
words looked at.
If I were advertising a retail shop and I found that
my advertising appropriation would allow me to take a
two inch card daily in four newspapers I should multiply
the two by four and take an eight inch card in one news
paper. But the secret of copy is personality; red hot hustling
life. Like breeds like. If your shop is a hustling go
ahead concern and this spirit is reflected in your adver
tising, the contagion will soon spread. The first hundred
customers are the hardest to get; the second hundred
come in about half the time; the third hundred are at
tracted by the crowd.
The full page announcement of the department stores
overshadow the smaller dealer; but there is'opening up a
great field in every big city for the attractive advertising
of the smaller shop. This advertising must bo done in a
new way; it must be pleasing, refined, convincing; it must
appeal to the individual who loves quiet rather than
noise; the very antithesis of the broad-side bargain adver
tising so common in every newspaper.
