Omaha, Neb. Dec. 30-The 15-year-oId
son Of Edwin Cudahy, who disappeared
from his home in Omaha Tuesday even
ing and for whom the police have been
searching since his disappearance, re-
turned at 100 o'clock this morning
At the time of his return two police
men were on guard at the house, but
did not know anything about the boy s
temperance until one of the family
came cut and toIu them that their SER
vices were dispensed with, that Eddie
had returned. The Officers required for
particulars, but none of the family
would say anything except that a full
statement would be made in the morn
ing.
The police are of the opinion that the
boy was not abducted, but ran away,
and returned Of his own vOlition.
Mrs. Cudahy stated later, however,
that her son had been abducted, but
had been treated kindly, and was all
right.
Those who have been working on the
case and who are in a position to learn
inside information are Of the opinion
that the boy had a quarrel with some
member Of the family and took this
means Of seeking revenge.

the disappearance of their son is now
telling CT them. Mr.. Cudahy has al
most totally collapsed for the time be-
ing, and Mrs Cudahy is feeling the ef-
fects Of her anxiety TO a remarkable de-
gree.
During the day Mr.. Cudahy sent tel
egrams to cities throughout the country
far and near, each of which gave a de-
scriptiOn of the boy.
Mr., Cudahy telegraphed his brother,
Michael Cudahy of Chicago, to send a
force of Pinkerton detectives to this
city at once to work on the case. The
entire force Of a local detective agency
and all the available local detectives
started on the search.

Young Cudahy left home at 8 O'Clock
Tuesday night to take some books to
the residence of Captain Rustin about
two blocks distant and that was the
last seen Of MIN. As midnight arrived
and ne did not return, the police were
notified and two detectives were detail
ed to work on the case.
II was not until nearly o'clock to-
day. however. that the matter began TO
assume as really serious aspect. At
that hour q man on horseback rode
rapidly by the Cudahy mansion and as
he passed the front gate threw a letter
into the yard. A servant who saw him
took the letter into the house where
il was read 1t said in substance:
Reward of $500 Demanded.
MIR. E A Cudahy: Your son is safe.
We have him and viii take good care
of him and will return him to you in
consideration of the payment Of S25 600.
We mean business. (Signed)

The remainder Of the note the police
refused to disclose as they said it re-
lated to the place where the money
was TO be left and where the kidnap-
ers were to leave the boy in case Mr..
Cudahy complied with their terms
Of a studiOus turn Of mind, the
young man was much devoted to his
home and was idolized by his parents,
being the only boy in family Of five
children.

HAS A RICH EFFECT.
Oriental Embroidery which VIII BE
One of the Popular Fads of the
Coming Season.

All indications point to the fact
that oriental embroidery will take
precedence over all other forms OF
fancy work this coming season. 1t,
popularity is secured for the reason
of the simplicity of execution and
richness of coloring.
The charm of this coloring is in the
artistic handling of brilliant primary
tints. They should be so deftly inter.
mingled that no one color stands out
glaringly, but all blend in a har-
monious whole.
The most effective of this oriental
work is executed with jewels and silks
or fax threads or both, and almost
any material may be used-colored art
linen looks we'll and is inexpensive.
The simplest designs are drawn on
the material, and are worked in floss
silk-red, green, yellow and blue, with
red, gold and green spangles mixed.
The diagram pictured is a quickly
worked design, and a most effective
one. Being so geometrical it may be

Hens Are Killed by Oats

Oats are good food for hens. for
change, but they should be boiled
before feeding. A neighbor of mine
who keeps good many hens was
favored with surprise party this fall,
the party being held in a grove, in
the form of a picnic. The visiting
friends helped to make their call
pleasant by bringing nice present.
While the friends stayed, the hens
grew hungry, and in the haste OF
the moment, they were given a lib.
eral feed of oats, as it was Just after
thrashing. After the visitors had
gone an account of stock was taken,
and it was found that there was an

MELTING OLD COMBS.
Hints on Winding Up the Seasons
Affairs I'm the Apinry and DispO-
sitiOn of the Hives.

November should be spent in winding
up the affairs of the apiary. All hive
parts which have been used during the
summer should, before being stored for
winter, be scraped clean of Jumps or
ridges of wax and propolis. Especially
should the combs not in use be sorted
and the exposed parts Of their frames
scraped before storing. While doing
this quite lot of beeswax can be kept
separate from the propolis and saved.
We divide combs into three classes:
First, brood combs; second, extracting
combs. and. third, combs to be melted
up. Brood combs may have few
drone cells in one lower corner, but
otherwise must be all workers, be
straight and contain very little pollen.
2. Combs used for extracting may be
partly or wholly of drone comb, bu:
should contain no pollen. If a comb
would belong to this class except for
patches of pollen, cut them out and let
the bees fill up the holes next summer
with new comb.
In class are the ones rejected from
and 2; combs heavy with pollen, old,

torily. To my eyes bare windows are
far preferable to windows curtained
with soiled or faded curtains. Try to
keep your curtains Clean and better
buy inexpensive ones and send to the
laundry than to have fine ones which
you feel you must take care of your
self, and then neglect to keep them
free from soil. 1t is good idea TO put
your curtains up so they can be taken
down, rod and all, and given a good
busting every few weeks. You will be
surprised to find how much dust you
will shake out and you will also find
that your curtains will last much
longer, as dust rots any material very
soon if allowed to collect.-Radford Re

HOW A PRETTY SOCIETY GIRL
ESCAPED DREADED CONSUMPTION.
Peruna Used in Time Saved Her Life.
ALPS Well That Ends Well.

t is the same old story of exposure to
cold. The cold passing down the bronchial
tubes to the lungs; the developing of set
tied cold on the lungs, coughing, expectora-
tion. This is a short road to consumption.
Thousands of people have travelled it. Thou
sands more will travel it and the coming
winter will develop an untold multitude OF
new cases.
In the case of Helen Murphy, the ending
was happy one. She started on the road
to consumption after catching cold at re-
ception- Instead of waiting until she be-
came incurable, Peruna was resorted to and
her life was saved.
1t is pity that everyone else in this wide
land could not know of this very effective
remedy in such cases. The news is spread
ing last but great many people have not
yet heard that Peruna is sure cure in these
cases.
Peruna cures acute catarrh and chronic
catarrh; catarrh of the head and catarrh of
the lungs; catarrh of the throat and catarrh
of the stomach. Wherever catarrh may
have located itself, whether in the digestive
organs, kidneys or pelvic organs, Peruna is
sure to eradicate the disease promptly.
Another case where consumption was
cheated of its prey occurred in the state of
lOWd. he report OF the case created con-
siderable attention at the time and was fur
nished us unsolicited by Mr.. Henrckson
In letter to DR.. Hartman he sets forth
some interesting details of his rescue from
consumption. He made use of the following
language:
81 have been for years a constant sufferer
from chronic catarrh of the head and
throat which finally worked down into the
air passages. In the spring of '98 l took a
severe cold and coughed all summer.
thought l had consumption. Then had
bad attack of la grippe. After taking .
course of Peruna l feel cured of all these
troubles
whenever any of our children get sick we
give them Peruna, and it never fails to cure
them. / most heartily testify to the value
OF Peruna in cases of catarrh and la grippe.
| hope this may be the means of others suf-
fering as | did to take Peruna and be cured
We would not be without it in the house."
Henry Henrickson.
Generally the first cold of the season is
caught in November. With some people
this lasts all winter and lays the foundation
of chronic catarrh. In the beginning few
doses of Peruna is sufficient to make per-
manent cure.
Send for DR.. Hartman's latest book on
chronic catarrh. Address the Peruna Med
icine Co., Columbus, Ohio.

nishings and decorations are not In
clined to use the style of curt ain
which our mothers and grandmothers
have liked so well. Many people of
perfect taste cling to the so-called old
fashioned curtain and as yet there is
little indication of their falling into
disuse. These curtains are usually
hung in straight lines from the top
of the window to the floor, and if they
are of heavy texture it is useless to
try to drape them gracefully. If they
are of a particularly handsome pattern
they do not show their beauty il
draped. The cotton cord and tassel
is the best to use, as ribbon looks too
fussy.

muslin curtains in preference to the
expensive laces which SAVIOR rather of
fancy work and are too dainty for
the quantity dignified furnishings
which are in so much favor just now.
Many people prefer draped back
curtain, and if the outlook from the
window is particularly pleasing, it
seems wicked to shut it out or else
look at it through the foggy lights of
the muslin curtain.
In the design given herewith are
illustrations of some of the modes in
greatest use just now in curtain
draping. The amateur will, with a
little hard work and care, be able
TO hang these curtains just as well
as the paid upholsterer. The curtains,
to look well, should both be as wide
as the window. Cross each curtain
nearly together, allowing about six
inches on each curtain at the outside.
That is to say, the unruffied edge
should come out beyond the ruffled
edge of the other curtain about six
inches; this should be exactly the
same on each side of the window
urements, as much depends upon the
width and texture of the curtains.
just now it is not considered quite
so stylish to finish curtains with the
ruffie at the top. Run a hem in the
tops of your curtains wide enough to
admit running the rod in very easily
Be sure not to put your hem in until
you have basted your curtains to-
gether, if you are going to cross them
BE sure that your curtains are straight
across the top, and drape them back
as high or low as you like them. If
small room with only one window,
good effect is obtained by draping
one side higher than the other. If
the rosettes are alike, pull your cur
tains back into position and tie light
ly with strong string, and make your
rosettes out of the fullness which falls
from the back below the string. ! al

First put them into a rather long,
narrow box, and pour cold water over
them to clean them as far as possible
of pollen and whatever else the water
will carry off. Chop them fine with a
spade, and scrape to one end of the box,
which has been raised higher than the
other to allow the pollen water to drain
off. Change the water often for two
or three days until the mass is thor
oughly soaked and washed. Then put
1t into a cauldron kettle, with enough
water to float it nicely. The kettle
should be in an arch, which prevents
the fire coming higher up the sides than
the level of the contents, else the wax
may burn at the edges. When the mass
has boiled well for few minutes, press

ART IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Valuable Hints Concerning the Hang
ing, Drying and Arrangement
of Lace Curtains.

Hanging lace curtains and draping
them is a severe strain on anyone ex-
cept a professional. The work done
by the professional is often not so
satisfactory as that done by the am
ateur, as the work of the former is
often too stiff and SLOPPY looking to
suit anyone with an eye for graceful
lines and effects. If the curtains are
new they are often easier to manage
than the old ones which have been
carelessly stretched. In stretching
curtains too much care cannot be
taken in getting them straight and
even. If the curtains have a decided
pattern, particularly in the border, it
is wisest to put pair together on
the frame. Pin corresponding points
in the pattern together at close in
tervals, and see that the edges are
even and the same. Much hard work
and a much more satisfactory piece
of work can be done
There is a tendency just now toward
the plain muslin ruffied curtain hang
ing in straight lines from the top of
the window to the sill. These are
very dignifed looking curtains and
look best in a room furnished along
the strong colonial lines. They are
used alike in parlor, dining-room and
bed-chamber Many people of ex-
tremely good taste have the curtains
of an entire floor just alike, and many
persons of unlimited means select the
