Dead in a Trap Of Flame.

Omaha, Neb., March 21.-Compara-
lively insignificant in material destruc-
ton, but appalling in its harvest of
death and suffering was a fire that
partially destroyed the Patterson block,
at 18th and Douglas streets this after
noon. Two of its victims have already
passed away, one more is not expected
to live and twenty others are suffering
from broken limbs and burned and
Iacerated flesh.
The blaze started shortly after three
o'clock. A group of happy women,
with the affairs of the secret orders
with which they were affiliated, were
in a moment brought face to face with
death. Sixty seconds later seven of
them lay burned and bleeding on the
pavements, to which they had drop
ped, forty feet below, aud the others
were rescued after they had been more
or less severely injured in their desper-
ate dash down the single fight of stairs
that let 10 safety.
The fire originated from thu explosion
of gasoline stove in room from the
rear of the third floor of the building,
and next to the elevator shaft. 1t was
not discovered until it had spread to
the adjoining apartments and the en-.
tire floor was filled with smoke and
flames About twenty members of the
Women's Lodge of Maccabees were at
tending committee meeting in the
front waiting room on the same floor.
They were unconscious of the danger
until janitor threw open the door and
told them to get out before the flames
cut them off. The warning came too
late.
The fire swept through the door and
down the single stairway. Those near
est the door fled through the binding
smoke and reached the street with
hands and faces burned and blistered.
The rest faced solid wall of flame.
There was a fire escape at the south
front of the building, but none thought
of it. They rushed panic sticken to
the windows through which the smoke
was already pouring The fire was
scarcely foot behind them. / caught
their clothing and scorched their faces.
In another; instant the spectators
were hOrrified to see one after another
spring from the open windows. They
were carried into the Office of a physi-
clan across the street. Most of them
were bleeding from severe cuts and
bruises, and all were burned.

The negroes refused to 90 with him,

WATER REMEDIES.
The Famous John WesIey's Fond
ness for Water.

From the New Orleans Picayune
Water is the most ancient of all RENE
dial agents for disease. The ancient Egyp-
tians, Hebrews, Greeks, Perslans and Hin
dus all employed water in this way. A
Chinese record dating back several hun
dred years before Christ records SINH
lar use of water. In Japan the cold bath
has been in use nearly 800 years. Cold
bathing among the Spartans of Greece was
required by law. Hippocrates evidently
had good idea of the physiological prop
critics of water, both hot and cold, which
he employed in the treatment of fevers. u}-
GERS, hemorrhages and other troubles He
directed that cold baths should be of short
duration and should be followed by fric-
ton. He records the observation that, af-
Ter cold bath, the body quickly recuper-
ates its heat, while a hot bath produces
the opposite effect Among the ancient
ruins al Rome and Pompeii bath equip
ments have been found to be very COM
plete. The famous baths contained faciH-
ties for taking hot and cold baths, also hot
air and Vapor baths According to Pliny
the bath was the almost exclusive method
of treatment employed in Rome during
five centuries. John Wesley, the founder
of Methodlsm, wrote book of which the
present day knows little if anything but
which might be reprinted with profit to
the people. This forgotten volume bears
the title primitive Physick"
1t was published in 1747 and the copy
from which the following quotations are
made is now in possession of DR.. ]. II.
Kellogg, of the Battle Creek, Mich, sani-
taTium, where water is a leading treat
ment. This little book indicates that the
people in WesTey's day understood how to
use water in the treatment of disease. A
few of the directions which ne gives are
as follows
For ague or intermittent fever, so into
the cold bath just before the cold fit, or
drink a quart of cold water just before
the cold fit and go to bed and sweat"
In cases of tertian ague it is recommend
ed to use the cold bath, save in persons
of advanced age, or who are in reduced
strength. A few of Dr. Wesley's simple
directions for using the cold bath are well
worth repeating. He says:
do not enter the water while the body

BOGOTA's BOoM IN nMERALDs.
Prices Go Kiting and Many Persons
Lose Their Money.
From the New York Press.


From the New York Press.
Bogota, the capital Of Colombia, had an
emerald boom some weeks ago which fur
nished lots of excitement while 1t lasted,
but the bottom of the affair dropped out
in a few days and now those who over
bought cannot get even the prices they
paid for the gems. Charles Burdett Hart,
United States minister to Bogota, says
that until recently emeralds were a drug
in the market of Bogota. One who de-
sired to buy them had only to wait and
have them brought to him. The famous
Muzo mine, which has produced eSneralds
of great value and in large quantities,
lies near Bogota, and the people of that
city have long been familiar with its pro
ducts. This mine is operated by a French
company, which insists that for the last
year or so 1t has found almost no emeralds.
However, from this source or from others
crude emeralds have continued to come
into Bogota. OF the cut stones, set and
unset there have been plenty in the mar
ket. Hard times have compelled many
persons to offer for sale their highly priced
heirlooms, and these have been obtainable
as a rule at low prices.
Recently an emerald craze seized upon
Bogota. The jewelry stores and all other
establishments where eneralds are dealt
in were besieged by persons who wished TO
buy and by others who wished to sell, and
for the same reason men and women
crowded the streets, standing In the road
way as well as on the sidewalk, some dis
playing their emeralds and others their
money. A jewelry establishment located on
the most prominent corner in Bogota was
compelled to ask the police TO drive the
crowd away.
As the news spread outside of Bogota
emerald owners began to rush in. This
swelled the throng and sent the fever up
several degrees. Sales were made right
and left at prices hitherto unheard of in
that market Persons who had not
thought of selling, tempted by the wild
rush to buy, brought out their emeralds
and began trading. Nobody could explain
the real cause of the excitement, and many
now realize that IT was without real cause.
In a week the fever reached its hight and
then declined.
While it lasted emeralds sold. or a gold
basis, at about three times their value in
the market just before the excitement be-
gan. 1t is estimated that about 100000
pesos changed hands as the result of the
furore. Many buyers who went in on the
flood tide find themselves with emeralds
that will not bring the price they paid for
them. Others also inexperienced, have
more or less excellent limitations as souve-
Mrs of this extraordinary movement IL
does not appear that the expert dealers

eral public, and yet IT is believed thar
some of these have far overreachcd them
selves.
