'sTHE OLD SALT DOCTOR. "
Mr.. VIM. O. Hart Relates an In.
terestipg Narrative.
From thu World Herald. Omaha. Neb.

From tho World Herald, Omaha, Neb.
Mr.. William G. Hart, favorably known
among his friends and acquaintances as
"The Old Salt Doctor" Is probably the most
familiar character in the vicinity of
Twenty-fourtha and Franklin streets, Omaha,
Nebraska. Mr.. Hart is now over 50.
An interesting history Of his recovery
from q common malady follows: A little
over five years ago became afflicted with q
My family have been troubled the same
when they arrived at my age, and they said
was on the same road and that there was
no cure for me. The symptoms were, d1zzi-
ness, loss OF memory, and an utter prostra-
tr on Of the nerves: Inc most n ,a0
came in from walk or was out standing
in the sun or doing any kind of exercise at
oil. When I would sit down, my head
would swim and everything would dance
before my eyes, and I would become so
dizzy that would have to hold to chair to

Whirl before me, and would have to hold
to the chair for some little time; my men,
DRY was so poor that it was difficult for me
to remember some Of my best friends. This
state Of things continued for about year
and a half, and kept getting worse and
worse; could not remember anything, and
my head was in constant Whirl; every
thing swan before me so that life was
really miserable.
On the recommendation of some friends,
I went to my druggist, Mr.. Shrader, on
Twenty-fourth and Clark streets, and got
box OF Pink Pills for trial, and after taking
few doses began to feel the effects and
found that they were doing me good. When
the first box was gone l got another and an
other until I had taken four boxes and l
was entirely relieved. And now, although
my memory is not SO good as it was forty
years ago, it is greatly improved, and is
better than many mems memory that are
much younger than I; my dizziness is en-
tirely gone, and my nerves are strong as
they were ten years ago, and DR.. Williams
Pink Pills did it too. cannot speak too
highly OF DR.. Williams Pink Pills, and
have, and shall continue to recommend
them to all my friends or any one else that
is in need Of strengthening tonic.
The reporter interviewed Mr.. Shrader,
the druggist, and many of Mr.. Harris
friends and acquaintances in regard to his
statements, and they all told the same story
as to Mr.. Harris recovery from his malady.

Cooked Dressing,

The following dressing is, to my
mind, the best that can be made for cold
slaw: Into half teacupful of cider
vinegar, put two teaspoonfuls of sugar
and scant teaspoonful of French mus.
tard, with the same quantity OF salt.
While it is heating beat the yolks OF
two raw eggs in a bowl. AS soon as the
vinegar comes to boil, pour it, drop by
drop, over the eggs, stirring the yollss
rapidly to prevent curdling. Beat hard
and the hot vinegar will convert then,
to the consistency of cream. While still
hot pour it over scant pint of chopped
cabbage, and serve as soon as cold"
The number Of yolks and the amount
Of vinegar may be varied to suit. In
cool weather this dressing will keep
during several days. 1t is greatly i,u-
proved by beating in one or two table.
spoonfuls of oil. Just before serving
two tablespoonfuls of sour cream
stirred in may replace the oil, when pre-.
ferred.-Good Housekeeping.

MQiIre SouDS.

Are not success unless they contain
some element to take the place of stock.
Milk is the best substitute for this.
A broth made of beans or peas or any
of the pulses" is almost as nourishing
as q broth of meat. Most vegetable
soups, however, must be made with
a foundation of stock to have any ex-
cuse for existence. Cream soups are
frequently made of rich milk, with wa.
ter, instead of milk and stock. Such
soups, if agreeable in flavor, are salts
factory at this season because they arc
light and do not load down the digestive
powers like the heavier broth and thick
ened soup of winter. The excellent
fashion of to-day is to relegatc such
heavy soups to the luncheon table even
in winter, and use nothing heavier than
a consomme for Q dinner.-Cincinnati

ELEVEN KILLED.
Firemen Lose Their Lives in q
Fire at Benton Harbor, Mich.
Failing Walls Crushed Out Their Lives-
Several Others Are Iniured-The
Origin Of the Flames IL
Mystery.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. 7.-Yore'a
opera house and adjoining buildings
were burned early Sunday morning,
cntailing loss Of about $65,o0o and
causing the death Of II fremen and
injury to number of others. The
killed are: Frank Watson, Edward H.
Gauges, Arthur C. Hill, Frank Seaver
and Robert Rolfe, all of st. Joseph; John
Hoffman, Thomas Kidd, Frank Wood
ley, Will Melten, Scott Rice and Louis
Hoffman, all of Benton Harbor. All
but three of the dead men were mar
ried.
The injured are: Ex-Fire Chief John
A. Crawford, of Benton Harbor, burned
and overcome by heat and smoke, seri-
ously injured; Frank Paget, of St. Jo-
seph, legs mashed by falling brick; Will
Freund, of St. Joseph, cut about the
head and burned; Jack Mccormick, of
Benton Harbor, legs broken and in
ternally injured.
Fall Of tho Walls.
Several others were injured, but none
of them seriously. The opera house was
large four-story brick structure. The
fire broke out shortly after midnight.
It had gained much Roadway before
the alarm was given, and when the fire.
men arrived the building was mass
of flames. The st. Joseph departments
were sent for and arrived soon after.
The fire continued to gain on them and
was spreading to other buildings when
the hook and ladder companies went
to the rear of the building, hoping to
be able to direct a stream into the mass
of flames from a second-story window.
Hardly had they arrived there than the
wall, with a mighty crash, came down
before them, burying IS men under the
red-hot bricks. Other portions of the
wall were tottering, and the rescue OF
the imprisoned firemen was deferred
for some time, as 1t was expected every
moment the remainder of the wall
would fall. Finally, some of the crowd
rushed into the mass to rescue the
shrieking and struggling men.
The Cities In Mourning.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
Guy Prescott who stated that he knew
how the fire started, but was not going
to give anyone away, was arrested and
will be brought before the coroner's
jury. The wardrobe of the Katie Put
nam company, which gave perform
ance for the benefit Of the fremen Sat.
urday evening, was also burned, as was
the wardrobe of the Mexican Trouble
dours, who are spending their vacation
here. Several of the dead firemen have
large families. Business is suspended
in the two cities and they are draped in
mourning in honor Of their dead. Their
funerals will be all held together Tues
day, and will be under the auspices Of
the Firemen and fraternal societies, of
which the deceased were members.

DID 1T HURT YOU2
A Question Often Out Of Place and On
necessary

necessary
The old hymn in Sam Taylor's
"Original Poems" beginning with who
Ran to Help Me When I Fell?" ought
to have a provisional clause added to It
The person who hastens to help a suf-
ferer who has been shocked by fall
should not say a single word. OF
course, says the Philadelphia Record,
the benevolent bystander is brimful OF
questions: "Where are you huft?
'Have you sprained your ankle?" and
lastly the insane request to know
whether you can fall down fight of
20 steps or from a piazzn ten feet above
ground and not be damaged any more
than If you had thrown yourself ON q
do n pillow only a foot away' OF
course you are hurt; and the nerve
shock is so great that any sort Of quee-
ton. even if "they" shall fetch hot wa
ter, is an additional blow to the nervous
system. You are suffering, perhaps,
to-, much to speak; yet they pelt you
with questions while every power of
your body is endeavoring to regain self
control. You ought not to answer.
You would like to scream that 1T

summoned to speak and to diagnose
yourself. All instructions in the line
of First aid to the injured" should
begin with: BE perfectly silent when
YOU run to lift or help q person who has
fallen and is still partly dazed with the
tremendous shock" Let it be for the
sufferer to say: "Oh, my head!" or
"Qh, my leg, or back!" He will indicate
as soon as it is necessary the injured
part; but meanwhile you are driving
him nearly frantic by asking about it.
These simple yet important directions
do not seem to be impressed upon the
average helpful mind. Tact, Of all
things, is as necessary as q knowledge
of tourniquet made from a stick and
a pocket handkerchief. bot water, of
course, is required for oil bruises and
sprains; but let it be brought without
asking. The relief to the victim of an
accident in having swift and noiseless
helpers about him or her absolutely 81

Dead In q Bath Room.

James Cullen, the proprietor of q
bottling house at 25l Hennepin avenue,
Minneapolis, was found dead in the
Turkish bath parlors of the Guaranty
Loan building early Saturday morning.
Cullen engaged in fistic alteration
with James Gallagher Friday night be-
fore closing up. AS a result of the fight
Gallagher was thrown out of the place
by Cullen, who was large, heavy
man. Gallagher left with q broken
arm, threatening arrest for assault and
battery.
The bar tender states that Cullen was
drinking heavily Friday night and after
the fight left the saloon, saying that he
was going to take bath at the Guar
anty Loan parlors. An attendant at
the parlors found Cullen's dead body on
one of the lounges at $3.50 o'clock in the
morning.
The body of Cullen was removed to
the county morgue and cursory ex-
animation of it gave rise to the suppo-
sition that something besides heart dis
ease H1ras responsible for the mans
death: In several places on the body
the skin had peeled off, giving the i'm
preston that the man had been sub
jected to intense heat.

StunR by Bees.

The 2-year old daughter of John Han
son, of Winona, was nearly stung to
death by bees. The little child had
wandered into the yard of a neighbor,
where bees are kept, and began to
amuse herself by poking at the hives
with stick. This greatly angered
the bees, and they came out in swarms
and covered the whole body of the little
intruder. The child was literally one
mass of stings, and the two attending
physicians pulled hundreds of stings
out of her body. It was at first thought
that the wounds would result fatally,
but the little suffer is somewhat i'm
proved, and her recovery is now hoped
for. In attempting to rescue her two
women from the house where the bees
were kept were also badly stung in
trying to save the child.

a human being, however. that was the
victim. Sapphire, 4-year old runner,

boy. Some horses loose in the infeld
came running up. Sapphire reared
suddenly and launched heavily against
the post, striking his head in such po-

BoOms VIII Close.


The boom companies have been Or
dered to close their booms on Sept. IL.
This action was decided upon in joint
meeting of all the log owners in Min
neapolis, held in the Offices of the Mis-
sissippi & Rum River Boom company.
Immediate steps are to be taken to
place all the logs now in the booms In
a condition of safety, also 80 that they
may be gotten at with the greatest con-
venience next spring. The sentiment
of the log owners was unanimously In
favor of closing the mills at the earli-
est possible date, and the only reason
that the date was not set for one week
earlier was that certain of the mill
owners, Backus, Nelson-Tenney, Day,
and one or two others desired little
longer time to cut in order that they
might be in condition to meet all the
orders attendant upon their spring
trade.
The decision to close the booms Sept
IL means that the mills of Minneapolis
will cease cutting lumber one week
later, thus throwing out of employ
ment hundreds of men.

Lost $4,000.

A dispatch from Chicago states that
James L. Sprague, a patent claim
agent of Minneapolis, arrived there
over the Lake Shore road from Buffalo,
N. Y. He got into a political argu-
ment near the Van Buren, street station,
and offered to bet that a statement he
made could be substantiated, and at
the same time pulled out roll OF bills
amounting to $4,000. The bet was not
taken, and he. with eight persons, en-
tered Parmalee bus to be driven to .
downtown hotel Just after entering
the bus he discovered that his roll was
gone. He ordered the driver to stop
and asked the passengers to allow him
to search them. They refused, where
upon he called Patrolman Beechter,
who had the whole crowd taken to the
Harrison street station. The money
was not recovered, and it is thought
that clever pickpocket, seeing
Sprague fash the roll took it while the
Minneapolis man got into the bus:
