Treatment of Burns.

Burns may be ordinary. but they lose
none OF their smart because Of the ease
with which they are acquired. Some
persons seem to have perfect genius
for getting burned. If they strike a
match it breaks and scorchcs them,
while visit To the kitchen ends in
burn from the oven or Il scald from hot
water or steam OF course the right
thing to do with a burn is to get 1t
away from all contact with the air and
to do this with all possible haste.
The necessary articles for the treat
ment should he on hand. and they are
baking soda-not washing soda, notice
fresh fat of some sort and several
thicknesses of cotton cloth 1t is an
excellent plan to have bottle of car
ron oil ready for such emergencies.
Carron oil is made by shaking together
equal parts of linseed oil and limewa-
ter. If the skin is broken over the
burn, use the oil without the soda.
Otherwise moisten the soda with olive
oil or sweet oil or even lard or cold
cream and apply it. over this wrap
the cloth. Cotton batting is often used
for covering the burn and keeping out
the air. but it is not to he recommend
ed. 1t is not good plan to use -four
busting il over burn, for it frequently
hardens and is OF little comfort.
One of the simplest measures for a
superficial burn is to apply the white of
an egg with II soft piece of old muslin,
adding more as ii dries.

wounded in battle here Thursday to
save the negro Jim Brown from the
vengeance of mob after he had been
tried and sentenced to be hanged on

is Water Blankenship. Arthur Blan-
kenship was probably fatally wound

Hanley. was slightly wounded. The
Blankenships were brothers, and it is

THE BOER WAR.
ess Ii Slow, Requiring Pres
ence of a Large Force.

London, Aug. 21.-In a dispatch
dated July s and detailing the condi-
ton of affairs at the front at that
time, Lord Kitchener says: There
are no more than 1880 Beers under
arms. Although they are not able
longer to undertake extensive opera
tions, their apparently inexhaustible
supplies of food enable them to main
tain an obstinate resistance without
retaining anything or defending the
smallest portion of this vast country
The wearing-down process is neces-
sarily slow, rendering the employ
ment of large number of troops
still necessary. Great patience is still
required to see the inevitable end Of
an insensate resistance, which, while
it cannot affect the result, has be-
come unjustifiable in prolonging the
war and the sufferings of women and
children" Since this dispatch was
written the losses of the Beers have
brought their forces down to about
1000.
Brussels, Aug. ga committee of
prominent pro-Boers is organizing

GILLIAN MINISTER DEAD.
Senior Vicuna, Also Pan-American
Commissioner, Passes Away
at Buffalo.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The state de-
partment was Tuesday advised of
the death of Senior Don Carlos Morla
Vicuna, minister from Chill to the
United States, which occurred at Buff
falo, Tuesday morning. Senior vi
cuna was one of the best-known
South American statesmen.
Senior Vicuna came to Washington
about three years ago, succeeding
Minister Cana, who was transferred
to London. The Vicunas. have been
prominent in South American affairs,
and the minister soon endeared him
self to the officials and diplomatists
in Washington by his charming per-
sonality and his ability. He was ac-
companied by his wife and family
who have been an interesting acquisi-
ton to the diplomatic circle. OF late
the legation in Washington has been
closed, the minister and family and
the entire official establishment be-
ing removed to Buffalo, where Chill
had taken the lead of South American
republics in the magnitude of it's ex-
hibit. Soon after the receipt of the
dispatch announcing the minister's
death, Secretary Hay sent message
of coincidence to the bereaved rela-
tives and friends.

Death Rate Lower.

Washington, Aug. pa voluminous
preliminary report containing NOR
tally statistics for the census year
1900 was made public at the census
Office Wednesday afternoon. The
most important feature presented is
found in the decrease in the general
death rate in the registration area OF
is per 1000 population, decrease Of
nearly ten per cent, and the decrease
in the rates from the particular dis
eases to which the general decrease is
due. The average age at death in
1890 was 81 years; in 1900 it was 35.2
years. st. Joseph, Mo-, with death
rate of 81 per 1000, shows the low
est mortality. and Shreveport, La.

DEATH AND DISASTER.
Caused By . Storm In Country Re-
Gently Opened for settlement
Two Men Killed.

Ell Reno, Okla, Aug. 23.-The latest
American states that only two per-
sons, w. T. Tevis, of Weatherford, Tex,
and Felix Antoine, of Lamar county,
Texas, were killed in the storm Wednes-
day evening. Dana Warren, of Stark
county, was badly bruised about
the back and abdomen, but will re-
cover. The damage to property is
$4,000. About 20 buildings we're al
most completely wrecked, and hun
dreds of tents and great quantities of
merchandise were strewn over the
prairie.
The storm struck at about eight
o'clock and came up without warn
ing. John Antoine was killed in the
lodging tent and grocery store OF his
son located just west Of the post
Office. The post Office building, rude
RECONSTRUCTED affair, collapsed and
fell over the tent. Antone's three
sons succeeded in getting out, but
their father was caught by a large
timber and crushed to death. W."P.
Tevis was killed in tent by the side
of saloon building being erected on
the corner of Tenth and C streets.
He leaves wife and three children.
At Hobart there was almost cloud
burst, 2A inches of rain falling in an
hour. Thousands of dollars worth of
merchandise there in unfinished build
ings and tents was ruined, but as far
as learned no one was hurt.
Reports Thursday indicate that the
storm was severe in the country dis
tricts. Several people are reported
killed and injured and many buildings
are reported destroyed, but as the
points are off the railroad, nothing
definite has been learned. One report
says that four persons were killed at
a farmhouse few miles out from
Anadarko. 1t is believed that the dam
age to crops and live stock will be
heavy.
Chickaska, south of FL Reno and
east of Anadarko in the Indian terri
tory country, was also in the path of
the storm. The damage done there,
however, appears to have been slight,
and no one is reported injured.
