HER HUSBAND vAINLY ATTEMPTS RESCUE
Firemen Arrive ON Scene and Raise
the wOman from n Cistern,
but Too Late TO Save
Her Life.

Mrs. Henrietta Alioth OF 7O2 South
Thirty-hfth avenue slipped on the ice-cov-
cred platform OF a cistern yesterday after
noon, fell within and miserably drowned,
while her husband was at work not sixty
feet away.
The husband, after calling IN the house
to his wife and receiving no answer, was
returning to his work when he noticed the
open cistern, looked down and was horri-
fed to Sc her dress floating on the water.
He rushed to his shop and secured a rope
with a hook on the end, with which he at
tempted to drag his drowning wife from
the cistern. With the hook he caught her
by the skirts, but the cloth tore and he
was unable to raise the body above the
water.
A 12-year-old daughter Of the .Alioths,
Just returning home, ran for help and met
a neighbor, a Mrs. Pomeroy, who rushed
to engine house No. Z at Thirty-sixth and
Jackson streets. Lieutenant Edward La
Page and Pipeman William Clinchard OF
the company, taking a rope, ran to the
Alioths. They made a moose and passed IL
over the woman shoulders and were then
able to raise the body from the cistern.
Life was extinct. Medical help was sum-
moned, but Mrs. Alioth had been too long

She leaves a husband, Alfred Alioth, and

arrangements have yet been made for the
funeral. Coroner Bradley will hold no in
quest, as the death was undoubtedly &C
cidental.
Alioth has two coal teams, which ar
driven by his sons. He also does black
smithing in a little shop at the rear of hi
house. He was engaged there yesterday
leaving his wife busy making pies an
bread. The four grown sons and two younI
daughters were all away from home
Aiioth had occasion shortly before
o'clock to go into the house. He did no
find Mrs. Alioth in the kitchen, where tn
half finished pastry was on the table, an
called fer her. AS she did not answer, h
concluded that she had stepped over to
neighbours. He was going back to the sho
when he noticed the cistern top, which wa

1T is IMPORTANT
To Know what You Are Taking when

To Know h You Are Taking when
Using CAtarrh Medicines.
Catarrh is the short route to consump-
tion, and the importance OF early and judi
cious treatment Of catarrh, whether located
in the head, throat or bronchial tubes, can
not be too strongly emphasized.
The list Of catarrh cures is as long as the
moral law and the forms in which they are
administered. numerous and confusing,
from sprays, inhalers. washes, ointments,
and salves to powders, liquids and tablets.
The tablet form is undoubtedly the most
convenient and most effective, but with
nearly all advertised catarrh remedies Il
is almost entirely a matter Of guess work
as to what you are taking into your system,
as the proprietors, while making all sorts
Of claims as to what their medicines will
do. always keep 1t a close secret as to what
they are.
The success and popularity OF the new
catarrh cure. stuart's Catarrh Tablets, is
largely because II not only cures catarrh,
but because catarrh sufferers who used
these tablets know what they are taking
into their systems. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
being composed of Red Gum, Blood Root
and similar valuable and antiseptic in
gradients, and are pleasant to the taste
and being dissolved In the mouth they take
immediate effect upon the mucous lining
Of the throat, nasal passages and whole

QUAIL IN THE WINTER TIME
This Man Says Bob white is Quite
Able to Take Care of
Himself.

OMAHA, Dec. 13.-To the Editor Of The
Bee: Quail as we'll as other wild birds
and animals are endowed by nature with an
instinct of self-preservation that teaches
them how, and prompts them to take care
Of themselves, and seldom, II ever, are
they found incapable Of doing so. The
idea that weather conditions, such as havo
existed for the last two weeks, should
cause the death Of these birds is prepos-
ferrous. Well-fed quail are equal to any
condition Of weather and snow is no i'm
pediment to their we'll being. When any
one ~insinuates that quail are not able to
take care OF themselves, he has some sim
lister or ~pecuniary motive for doing so. and
anyone attempting to influence our legis-
lators to change the game and fish laws
of this state so as to render them less
protective to our game and fish, does SO
not for the welfare of the general public,
but for personal gain. J. G. CLoUGH.
