Injured BY Explosion.

Anton Peterson, IN employee OF !.
jacobson & Son Mt Hastings, Nelyk
was the victim of q gasoline explosifv
last Saturday morning that will pro-
ably cost him his life. Peterson had
saturated some burlapping, tied to the
end Of a wire, for the purpose Of thav.
ing out a pipe, but had failed TO PIT
q safe distance between himself and
Ave gallons of gasoline before igniti,g
it. The explosion threw the burning
oil over Peterson, and Ia an instant he
was envelopcd In flames. Mr.. Jacob
son and c. II. Wanzer extinguished the
fire by rolling the unfortunate man in
heavy horse blankets, but not until
his clothing had been burned off and
great pieces Of flesh dropped from bis
body. 1t Is very doubtful II he can

GOLD" ICE HIS SPECIALLY.
Peculiar Cry Adopted by an Itinerant
yender Of Chicago.

From Chicago Democrat: 1T Is
queer what devices men will resort to
in order to sell their wares" said a well
known mar about town yesterday.
advertising Is quite a science these
days, but q friend Of mine from the
south side tells n good yarn Of an Ice
dealer. This dealer was M OF those
wanderers who have a few pounds OF
ice In a spring wagon and who have
no regular customers. They haunt the
alleys on hot days tawllng their wares
after the regulars lave made their
rounds. They pick NJ quite a few
nickels In the course Of a day. 1t was
one OF the hottest days of the late fall,
a Sunday, and the regular wagons had
long since retired for the day. My
friend was about half out OF Ice and
placed his fate In the hands OF the
the first one who came along. He has q
keen sense Of fun and enjoyed the
sport. Finally. when he had about
given up. he heard the long and eager
ly wished-for cry. An iceman was
progressing down the alley. My friend
went forth, waited and IA rewarded.
The dealer was a colored man who was
earnestly appealing for all to buy.
'Ice!' he bawled. looking about as his
nag moved slowly along. Ice, cold
ice!' What kind OF Ice Is that?' asked
my friend, obviously. Cold ice, sir;
It's the coolest In town We'll, I'd take
some IL l wasn't afraid the heat would
spoil IT, was the %retort, as my friend
turned to re-enter the house. The col
ored man looked after him in amaze
ment, but made no reply. He proceed
| ed on his rounds, but changed his cry,
for he seemed to fear the GOODNESS
would prove q hoodoo instead Of Q
blessing"

Omaha Domestic, Tired Of Life. Take

The regular Saturday night tragedy
at Omaha occurred at the home Of Mrs
G. r. Patrick, where a domestic whose
first name was Laura, and whose sur
name is unknown, shot herself through
the heart with a revolver after having
swallowed the contents of u bottle Ia
belled laudanum. She had gone to
her room to dress to accompany an
other domestic down town. As she did
not come down when expected, search
was made for her, and she was found
on her bed, dead. She had evidently
dressed herself for the tragedy, a she
had donncd n neat attire of black. She
was about thirty-three years old, q

Plants Killed by Heat,

The ordinary fuirnace-heated house
Is a bad place in which to grow plants.
The air seems to have had Gil the
dampness removed, and that moist
condition so conducive to a good
growth in plants is not found. This
may In a measure be overcome by
means OF evaporation, which, while not
supplying n great amount Of moisture,
should do something toward relieving
the bad condition Of the atmosphere.
Place jars or pans Of water in, around
or about the furnace, hang buckets of
water down inside the furnace pipes,
below the registers. or place them any
where that rapid evaporation may be
induced. Keep all the plants In Hight.

1t may look better there. It's beauti-
