IN CASES OF sUNSTROkE.
Prescription That Came All tn
Why From Uruguay.


Mr. Jose da s. Marquee, Orillas del Plata
No. 16, Montevideo, Uruguay, the Sth of
last June addressed a letter to President
Mckinley, inclosing prescription used by
him with great success in the treatment of
persons suffering from sunstroke. The Pres
ident referred the communication to the
Secretary of State, and, as MIR. Marquee
stated that he has learned from the news
papers (of Montevideo, probably that there
have been a number of cases of sunstroke
here, the Secretary forwarded the prescrip-
ton to the District Commissioners. AS
translated. it reads as follows:
wet a towel or sponge, preferably with
spring or running water, or, if still water,
it should be very clear, and with it wet the
hands, face, head and chest, to cool the
blood; then pour water over the shoulders
until it runs over the whole body. Having
cooled the blood, wipe with a very dry
towel, rubbing only the arms and legs,
without drying the face and head, and
without rubbing the spinal column. Double
a small cotton sheet that has been used,
lengthwise, wetting two-thirds of it so that
there may be sufficient for two winnings
around the body with the wet sheet and one
dry winding.
THE wet sheet before being wrapped
around the body must be squeezed out SO
that scarcely any dampness shall remain,
and then wrapped around under the arms,
covering the stomach abdomen and Part
of the chest, heart, below the hips and
part of the thighs, and with the third part
Of the sheet, which must be dry, cover the
two dry windings we'll
by way of a hygienic measure, glass
of water, very fresh and clear, may be
drunk. then the patient may walk little.
This operation may be repeated twice
day, morning and evening, and the bath
must always be taken and the bandages
put on before every meal, and If possible
two or three hours after. The eruption
around the waist, which usually ensues, is
oecasioned by the Transportation, and need
occasion no alarm, but is rather a subject
of congratulation, only, in continuing the
operation, the same cloth or sheet should
not be used without being thoroughly
washed every time it is used"

STORAGE HOUSE DAMAGED,
Building Occupied by u. s. Electric
Lighting COmnany.


A quick, hot fire badly damaged the four
story brick building at 213, 215 and PIT 18th
street northwest last night, shortly after II
o'clock. The building was used as a store
house by the United States Electric Light
ing Company. The offices of the company
are located in the southwest corner of the
structure. The damage will reach into
thousands of dollars, although it was given
out this morning that no definite statement
could be made as to the extent of the loss
Two large and expensive storage batteries
were in the burned building. Not until
these have been examined can the damage
be accurately placed. 1t is believed. how
ever, the batteries are not seriously
harmed.
The fire originated in a lot of oil-soaked
waste and rubbish in the rear of the
building. A lantern was overturned by one
of the workmen employed by the company
The flames leaped up the rear of the build
ing, soon found their way inside and We're

The structure damaged lies just north of
the magnificent new central plant recently
completed, the store house being separated
from the main building by a wide alley
The power house was, however, in no dam

extensive, that to the contents not so great.
lot of old wires, cables, coils and electric
apparatus was destroyed.
The fire spread rapidly, and, notwith-
standing the proximity of engine houses, it
was many minutes before stream was
playing upon it, this delay being due to the
impossibility of earlier securing full head
of steam in the fire engines. Once the fire.
men were fairly at work, their labors were
deserving of the highest praise.

Soldier. Welcomed 10 Montana

Helena, Mon., Oct. 11.-Cordial was the reception given the returning Thir- teenth Minnesota volunteers here. A great throng gathered at the railway station to welcome them to Montana. An address was delivered by Senator Carter, who in turn introduced Major Martin Maginnis of the First Minnesota, which regiments losses at Gettysburg were the largest ever known to any regi- ment in any battle. He termed the Thir- teenth its lineal and rightful successor. Both speakers paid the regiment high compliments for their conduct during the recent campaign. Two thousand sand wiches, 100 gallons of coffee, 100 cases of beer and 100 boxes of cigars were placed at the disposal of the soldiers. Nearly all of the soldiers were in favor of retaining the Philippines and uphold. ing the president and General Otis, whom they declare thoroughly equal to the situation.

FUNSTON HOME AGAIN.
Twentieth Kansas Arrives at sar
 Francisco.


 Francisco.
 San Francisco, Oct. 1.-The United States transport Tartar has arrived from Manila. via Yokohama, with the Twen- tieth Kansas regiment, under the com mand of Colonel Metcalf, and 300 dis charged soldiers from various regiments. The Tartar has not docked but is an- chored off Angel island, where she will remain until she is examined by the quarantine and customs officials. The Tartar was met at Angel island by Gov ernor Stanley of Kansas and party. The customs officials gave notice that no one should board the Tartar.
 Brigadier General Funston was the passenger most eagerly sought for. 0w- ing to the rough condition of the sea, it was impossible to get a very extended interview with him.
 When asked as to his future plans, he replied:
 ''They depend considerably on what the authorities wish me to do."
 He reported a very pleasant trip. Gen eral Funston further said that he was in excellent health. He had little to say about conditions in the Philippines be- yond expressing the opinion that the war would soon be ended. He spoke in high est terms of the good work done by the men of his command. He was glad to get back to the United States, though he did not regret the time and energy ex- pended in the attempt to subdue the Filipinos, which he was confident would ultimately prove successful. General Funston was accompanied by his wife. The Tartar had 20 sick soldiers aboard, Is of whom belonged to the Kansas regiment. They were suffering from dysentery.
 Three deaths occurred on the voyage, two Kansas volunteers and a discharged private rom the Third artillery. Their names could not be ascertained. The Tartar also brought the bodies ot two privates of the Ninth infantry who died on the westward voyage.

mont That Touched Him Deeply.
 Burlington, Vt, Oct. 11.-Admiral Dewey arrived last night at Shelburne Farms. He is the guest of Dr. w. Se- ward Webb. The train which brought him made 292 miles in two hours better time than any previous train over the road. and the New York Central engi- neers ran through without change, pilot engineers being taken on as each connect Ing road was reached. There was no in- cident of note on the journey beyond con- stant manifestations of enthusiasm at every station. When Vermont was ac- tually reached, the people gathered on their farms beside the track and waved flags. It was a remarkable, triumphant progress.
 Admiral Dewey's immediate party con sisted of his son, Dr. Seward Webb, President Galloway of the New. York Central, Lieutenant Brumby, President F. w. Clement of the Rutland railroad, General Passenger Agent R. T. Mckee yer of the same road, General J. G. Me Cullough of Bennington and J. c. Yager, general manager of the Wagner compa- ny, and Governor E. c. Smith of Yer mont.
 The admiral was greatly moved when he really found himself among the Green mountains again. At Shelburne large crowd was on hand. All the school chil- dren were out. and they sang an original song to the tune of Yankee Doodle" There was a small company only at din- ner at Dr. Seward Webb's house.
 This afternoon the admiral and his party go to Montpelier, and they will travel on W. K. Yanderbilt's private car. The Montpelier parade will occur on Thursday afternoon and Governor Smith will pin a jeweled medal from the state on Dewey's coat. The fireworks in the evening will end the celebration.

Salt Lake City, Oct. 1.-The polygar nous congressman elect Roberts has vanished from Utah. He may not re- turn for some time, if at all. However, requisition papers will bring him back. He is to be charged with two felonies, of which polygamy forms the base, and two misdemeanors for unlawfully living with his two plural wives. The evidence in the polygamy cases will rest upon the testimony of several responsible wit nesses already secured. In case of fail ure to convict in Utah affidayits have already been drawn to bring a record of the cases to congress.
