Brick Tavern, N. j., Sept. Miss

copper queen. Her farm of tIIrleen
acres is on the Spruce Run Copper
creek. She dug up some mud, which
she found full Of copper. She MADE e

a handful Of almost pure copper. Then
she thought she might do better by
smelling the earth in pots. Later she
discovered that she could get cDDpar
deposits on old tin cans if she threw
them into the creek and kept them
there a few days. She sent a wagon

Houston, that In my travels in all
parts Of the world, for the last ten
years I have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy. for dyspepsia,
deranged liver and stomach, and for
constipation. I find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling Office
positions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand

SHE SHOT THE CHUTES.
And Landed Clothespin Fashion on the
Neck of an Innocent Bystander.

James b. Stone, a well-known Oma-
ha citizen, lies at the Presbyterian hos
pital with a dislocated neck. Miss Ad-
die Tangney, a young Omaha girl, is
responsible for his condition. She fell
through n steel chute seventy feet
long. Stone happened to be passing
ment and the young lady fell astride
his neck, occupying a position similar
to Il clothespin when it is on the line.
She says she is one the worse for
her meteoric slide.
Miss Addie Tangney, 20 years old,
began work last Friday in a paper mill
at Omaha. 1t was the first time she
had ever worked in the receiving depot
of a paper mill, and things were
strange to her. She met with sur
prises at every turn. She was surpris-
ed to learn that the great mountains
of scrap paper with which the build
ing is packed are gathered from the
newspaper offices, printing offices, and
news stands. But the greatest sur
prise of all remained for her when
she found herself hurting down a step
less flight of stairs and playing pranks
with a man to whom she had never
been introduced.
1t all happened so quickly that no
one seems to know exactly what set
the train Of circumstances in motion.

This much, however, can be sworn to
by at least a score of witnesses:
Miss Tangney was told to stand at
the mouth of the chute and throw into
its hungry craw armfuls Of waste pa

Twenty boys and girls looked just in
time to see the body of Miss Tangney
shooting the chute.

Suddenly there was a frou-frou of

OF No. 2o5 2Sth Place. Chicago, Ills. In the
spring of 1885 he took measles. He caught cold,
the measles then settling on his lungs, causing
such terrible coughing spells, we not only grew
much alarmed. but looked for the bursting of a
blood vessel or a hcmorrhagc at almost any
time. After three days coughing he was too
weak too cross the room. The doctor who lived
with us on the same floor did him no good. I
went to the other end Of the town and stated the
case to n druggist, who then handed me a bottle
of DIR. Picrcc's Golden Medical Discovery. NV

They all believed in their hearts
that the "old man" was getting pam
icky, but they did exactly as he said.
They procured nearly $4,000, 900.
That's not nearly enough. Go ory

Finally they obtained $4,000, 900 in

footed up 5 $4,000, 900.
Now, maybe we can weather it"
said Mr.. Armour, and his preparations
were hardly completed before the
crash of 1893 came.
One of the first things to happen in
the desperate financial straits was a run
on one of the biggest banks in Chicago.
One morning a messenger brought
word that a mob was lined up in front
of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank.
and that the people were demanding
their money. Some of the most con-
servative business men had lost their
heads, and the rush was enough to
stagger any set Of hank oficials. OF
den Armour, son Of the ''old man."
was a director in the bank.
This must be stopped" said P. D.
Armour.
He waited a minute to arrange the
everyday bunch of roses in the HON
vase on his DESK said the man who
told the story, and then he snatched
up his hat and started for the bank"
Mr.. Armour mingled with the crowd
on the sidewalk in front of the bank,
going first to one and then the other,
pledging his own credit for the depos-
its. He never left the place until the
closing hour, and by that time the
run had stopped. He went back to
his office and issued a call for a meet
ing of Chicago business men the next
morning. Then he cabled 10 London
and bought halt million dollars in gold
on his own account. He ate a little
luncheon and drove out to Armour in
stitute that afternoon as usual. He
watched the classes at drill and then
he inquired piacidly: rs anything
wanted?" On his way home to dinner
he stopped at the homes of his two
sons for a little visit. After dinner he
said that he fe.t a bit tired that even
ing and couldn t account for it.
1t is an interesting fact that P. d.
Armour's faith in his country made
him his first big sum of money, some
thing like half a million dollars. 1t
was toward the close of the Civil wal
and he was a partner Of John Planl,ip-
ton Of Milwaukee in the packing bust
ness.
Grant has practically defeated the
south, and I am going to start fo- New
York tomorrow" he said one day 80
Mr.. Planklrron. "Our best plan is 10
buy all the meat now that We have
the money to buy. Prices are going
up"
He went to New York anil found
things in panicky condition and no.
body half as sure of success as he was
himself. He bought immense quanti-
ties of meat. The war ended with APP
pomattox soon a%fterward, and prices
Of provisions went up like a rocket.
Then Plankinton & Armour made over
a million dollars.-Inter-Oocean.

THE WOMEN'S TEMPLE.
Miss Helen Gould Sends = Donation of
$1,000 Towards Canceling the Tenn
pie Trust Bombs.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Mss Helen Gould
has lent the strength of her name,
backed by substantial donation OF
$1,000, to the movement to retain
the Women's temple. This announce
ment was made yesterday at the joint
meeting of the temple trustees and
the committee representing the hold
ers of the temple trust bonds, held
to discuss the plans and prospects
of the trustees. Another announce
'ment which gave encouragement to
Mrs. Carr and her conferees who have
worked to save the temple, was that
Marshall Field had extended the limit
of his offer of 100000 for another
year. The offer of Miss Gould is the
result of a plan conceived some time
ago by Mrs. Carr. The scheme is to
get 100 persons to agree to give 81, coo
each toward the fund of 100000 to
cancel the temple trust bonds, the
subscriptions not to be paid until
the entire amount is secured.

BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.


Milwaukee. Jan. S.-1he annual
convention of the National Building
Trades council opens in this city to-
day and will probably continue
throughout the week. A large num-
Der of delegates arrived yesterday.
Nearly every section of the country
will be represented. Sixteen differ
ent trades unions are reported in
the council. The report of the gen.
eral secretary and the treasurer, H.
w. Steinbss. of st. Louis, will en-
body most Of the recommendation
which will come before the council
for action. His report will recon-
mend that an effort be made to en-
force an eight-holr day in every city.
Touching upon the recent trouble in
Chicago, the report will say that
while it is entirely probable that any
association of contractors would en-
deavor to institute lockout, in case
of any such calamity, the trades
should be prepared to defend them
selves. The defense in any such case
would not be strikes, but by the ma
tional councils assumption of the
work of the contractors. Steps will
probably be taken towards the or
ganization of conference board to
prevent strikes. The general condi-
ton of the building trades is said to
be very satisfactory. Including pend
ing applications which will be acted
upon this week, the membership Of
the council numbers about 100000.
