OH and Lime Water For scald.

Heads of other families may like to
know what one mother did In an
emergency. Her five-year-old boy up
set a pitcher of boiling water over one
shoulder, and, while she sent post
haste for the doctor, she also ran 20
the storeroom for salad oil and to her
vashstand for bottle Of lime-water a
dentist had recommended for the teeth.
Mixing equal parts Of the oil and lime
water, she soaked cloth in the result

her prompt action had saved the httie
patient much suffering which his later
arrival could not have averted Wholly.

DANISH KING DEAD
Christian TX Passes Away
Suddenly in Copenhagen.
A LONG REIGN is ENDED
Was Monarch Greatly Beloved by His
Subjects and Related by Blood to
Host Of Royal Personages
in Europe.

Christian the Ninth, the aged king
of Denmark, who occupied the throne
sixty-three years, dean Of the crowned
heads OF Europe, father of King George
of Greece, Queen Alexandra Of Great
Britain and, Ireland and OF the Dow
ager Empress Maria FEDORA OF Rus
STA, grandfather Of King Haakon tho
Seventh of Norway, and related by
blood or by marriage to most OF the
European rulers, died with startling
suddenness at Amalienberg palace in
Copenhagen, Monday. Prince Fred
erick, his eldest son, who will be
known as Frederick the Eighth, will
be proclaimed king.
The Official bulletin was issued Mon
!. day evening:
"His majesty died at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon. After his majesty
had brought this mornings audience
to conclusion, he appeared to be
quite well and proceeded to luncheon
as usual. Toward the end OF the meal
he gave evidence OF indisposition, and
was compeled to retire to bed at 2:30
p. m. f4is>majesty passed away peace
fully, the symptoms. indicating heart
failure"
This bulletin tells concisely the
story OF the death scene, which found
every one, even those who realized
the increasing feebleness of the king,
unprepared for the sudden shock.
The death of King Christian has
plunged half the courts of Europe
into the deepest mourning, and
brought sense OF personal loss, as
well as of sincere grief, to everyone
throughout the kingdom Of Denmark,
reaching even to the humblest cot
tage, evidences OF which are shown
everywhere. 1t has cast pail over
the palaces of the monarchs OF Great
Britain, Russia, Norway and Greece.
When the flag flying over the pal
z ace was placed at half mast and the
news spread from mouth to mouth, it
was not believed by the great crowds
which gradually assembled in the
,suuar in front Of the Amalienberg
palace, but when uncertainty gave
place to certainty, those in the as
semblage shed tears and dispersed in
respectful silence.
King Christian, who was nearing 30
years of age. appeared to be In his
usual health Monday morning. Aftei'
q taking breakfast he held a public aud
ience, which it has been his custom
to do every Monday morning. The
reception was largely attended, and
his majesty conversed freely and ana
bly with q number OF officials and
other persons. When the function
was over the king, though appearing
to s be slightly fatigued, attended
.lunehean with the members OF his
family, among whom were the Dowa
ger Empress of Russia and his broth
er, General Prince Hans. During the
: meals his majesty complained OF IN
disposition and was assisted to his
bed room by the dowager empress
and Prince Hans.
Just as the king breathed his last
crown Prince Frederick entered the
sr>,,, and tho other members of the
royal family arrived shortly after

CONDEMNS RIGHT-OF-WAY
Great Northern Fargo Extension Will
Gross Military Reservation. -.

Fargo, n. D., April 20.-The Great
Northern Railway company has taken
the preliminary action to condemn a
right of-way thru the military reserva-
tion in this state for the extension Of
the Fargo-Aneta branch to Devils Lake.
The survey Of the road carries it along
the extreme edge of the reservation on
land that will never be available for
military purposes.
An effort was made to get Governor
Sarles and other. members Of the mill
tary commission to assign the right Of
the state to the land, but the officials
preferred that the company take the
regular methods Of securing the title.
The fact that the road will run along
side the reservation will be Of consid-
cradle value to the state, as the state
guard encampments are held there annu-
ally. Formerly all equipment and para
phernalia had to be transported from
Devils Lake to the reservation by team.
As it is about six miles, the cost for
both trips was a considerable item Of
expense.
