Council Bluffs.-In fire which
practically destroyed a Pullman on
the Northwestern Los Angeles lin
tied, east bound, about 5 o'clock Sun
day morning, Louis Delario OF Wash
ington, d. c., was burned to death
and several others csustained slight
injuries from burns and cuts. The
train, about five hours late, left Coun-
Gil Bluffs at 1870. When about a mile
east of Loveland, this county, Con.
ductor Hamlin discovered the fire!
The blaze was located forward in the
car, which was the first of two Pull;
mans. The interior was blazing
furnace. The eleven passengers in the
car were in a panic, having been
awakened by the suffocating heat
The train was stopped. two cars at,
the rear were uncoupled with diM-
Guilty, owing to the heat, and with all,
possible speed the train was hurried
into Missouri Valley, where q stream
from hydrant subdued the flames.
The train had about three miles to
go to reach Missouri Valley and in It's
| flight, which was fast as could be
made, presented thrilling sight.
All the passengers, with the excep-
ton Of Delario, had managed to es-
| cape to chair car. 1t was believed
all had escaped until search Of the
ruined car revealed the charred and
blackened form of Delario The body
was lying face downward in the
aisle. The clothing was entirely
burned.
The remains of Delario were taken
in charge by Missouri Valley under
taker and are held awaiting instruc.
tions. The passengers were looked
after by representatives of the road.
All lost their personal effects, only
two Of the eleven succeeding in saw
ing anything besides their night raj
ment. After being provided with
clothing, and the two cars that had
oeen cut off replaced, the train pro-
ceeded eastward, leaving about 9
O'clock.
The cause of the fire is not known
A woman passenger with babe had
been using an alcohol lamp and one
theory is that it started from the
lamp.
Delario, the dead man, was clerk of
the house committee on irrigation
and private secretary to Representa-
tive Mondell Of Wyoming. Delario
boarded the train at Laramie, Wyo.

Need for Companfonship.

There Is a wise old German saying
that "only a god or brute can dwell
in solitude" Men. and. women need
congenial companlonship, both for the
sake Of health and happiness. Just as
your lungs, after using up all the oxy-
gen In close room, need to be filed
with fresh, out-of-door air, so your
minds need contact with other minds
to get new ideas. There is such a
thing as mental as well as physical
hunger. Herders on the cattle ranches
of the West frequently become mad
from the isolation they are forced to
endure. Women on lonely farms and
in small villages grow morbid and
mildly insane, and people do not guess
that the cause is want of companion
ship. 1t is for this reason that a wom-
ans work at home is always more try
ing than that of her husband, who
goes to his Office, sees new faces and
has the friction that is produced by
meeting other people. Even the farm
er has more intercourse with his neigh
Dor at market or at the village grocery
than his wife, who may not see any one
outside of her own family for weeks.
1t is a great mistake for young people
to isolate themselves. Even if their
tastes lead them to quiet life, they
should make it a point to cultivate a
few agreeable friends.

Household Money.

Personally, says clever man in a
housekeeping discussion, when my wife
is from home | hand the housekeeping
money to my cook, who is a careful
soul with simple ideas, and she inva-
riably has a surplus at the end of the
month-and | lose weight, l believe.
but am in better health. | have even
done the housekeeping myself
Ny wife and l consider the allow
ance for food, etc. as trust fund mo
matter who has it,, to be expended for
a certain purpose in the home, the vic
tualing of the home, not for powder
and paint, nor for cigarettes or pipes,
but for victualing the home.
1t is certainly the wife's duty. if she
is doing the housekeeping, to expend
the whole, or else to tell the husband
she can do with less allowance in that
fund. 1t is not fair for anybody con-
cerned that the wife should cut down
supplies or use poorer food in order to
save money for other, and perhaps pri-
yate, purposes other than for the pur-
poses the money was obtained. That
would be misrepresentation of the funds
at her disposal.
The wife has her allowance for pin
money" as 1t is called, and the hus-
band does not claim her surplus of
that, If any. Why should the wife
claim the surplus money from store
allowance or housekeeping?

FINANCIAL STORM SEEMS TO
HAVE PASSED.
SpheaNaI Among Eastern Banking
Institutions Takes On More Hone
full Attitude Despite Crashes in
Pittsburg-West Is Reported Solid.

The financial gale in New York
which created excitement in the East
and occaSiOned uneasiness in other sar-
lions of the country. seems to have
passed. The trouble that started in
New York spread to Pittsburg. but
prompt and effective action taken by
the clearing house association and the
directors of the stock exchange there
COPIED with it effectualIy.
The trouble in Pittsburg was precipi-
tated by the announcement OF the en-
barrasSment of four concerns in the
Westinghouse string of interests. which
were unable, owing TO the abnormal
stringency OF the money market. to Sc
cure sufficient liquid collateral to meet
maturing loans. Receivers were ap-
pointed for the embarrassed Wrestling
house concerns. 1t was stated that these
concerns are entirely solvent, and that
creditors would be paid in full The
Iron City Trust Company also went into
the hands of receivers. Its assets are
estimated at 100000 and liabilities at
S1,700,000.
The transition from unrest to reas-
surance in New York was due to action
taken by ]. P. Morgan, James Stillman
and number of the most influential
financial interests in the city. who CO.
operated in an effort to bring order out
of the chaotic condition into which
the financial community had fallen. A
committee was formed to protect trust
companies. After thorough canvass
Of the situation Secretary COrtelyou
pledged government assistance to the
extent of $25,OOO,OOO.
Financial conditions in Chicago re-
NAMED practically unaffected by the
scare in the East. Financiers connected
with the leading institutions in the city
gave out statements declaring that the
furry had not and would not be felt to
any appreciably serious extent by the
banks there. Conditions similar 20
those existing in Chicago were reflected
in every important financial center
throughout the West. Reports from
over a large area say that not only have
conditions not been disturbed by the
excitement in the East, but that large
and important offers of assistance have
troubled confreres in the East.

PIRATE LAFITFE'S TREASURE.
It's Hiding Place Has Been Pointed
Out In Dreams by Ghosts.

Its Hiding Place Has Been Pointed
Out In Dreams by Ghosts.
Since the French privateer and
smuggler, Jean Lafitte, sailed the high
seas and bought his treasures to the
gulf coast and buried them, now and
then it happens that some sensation
arises as to their immediate where
abouts, says the Houston Post
Thirtyfour years ago the pirate of
peared in a dream to DR.. Beazly and
rather roughly taking him by the col
lar, told him to come with him and
he would show him where there were
gold and silver and diamonds. buried.
The doctor in his dream followed his
midnight visitor and lie directed him
to a certain place in the cottage. which
was then the BeaZly home and occu-
pied by the family, and designated the
spot under which lies the much-talked-
of wealth of the privateer.
The doctor, having the same dream
repeated twice in the same night, be-
came wide awake after Lafitte's third
visit and much interested. the result
being that he did, and perhaps, too,
very shortly afterward, begin digging
under the house in pursuit of the treas
ure.
After getting to the depth of four
or five feet he found nothing Of any
moment except Il very unusual stone in
this part of the world, where nothing
of its kind was ever seen here.
Had he kept on possibly the treasure
might have been found and the restless
spirit Of Lafitte, wherever it may be,
might have been released from this
burden of secrecy, burden from
which. seemingly, he wished to be re-
lieved. as another visit has been made
in the same house, and this time in
dream Lafitte appears in the presence
of a lady, urging her to get the lost
Jewels. gold and silver.
After all these years DR.. Beazly has
at last consented to have some one else
who believes in the undertaking join
him to find the treasures. and they
have made arrangements satisfactory
to all parties concerned. and now in a
short time Mr. Mckay. a banker at La
Porte. being the associate mentioned,
will begin operations to find the treas
ures slowed deep down under the old
house.

Man jolly; Woman ser;ous

A woman, when the first exuberance
of youth is over, is apt to become dead
ly serious, says an English exchange.
She ceases to believe in the fun in life,
and loses all relish for play. A man
remains at heart a big child and in
consequence honestly enjoys the socie-
ty of children. A father is refreshed
by romp with his little ones. moth
er is usually tired by 1t. She may be
her boys and girls guardian angel,
friend, comforter, but is only rarely
their playmate. I think women lose
much when they lose this capacity for
play. Without it, they are unable to
throw off the burden of their cares
as a man does and enjoy the good Of
the present moment, careless of the
worries that are past or the worries
that may be in the future.

Home Journal. To make the sleeve
smaller at the hand and elbow take
up the outside seam of the sleeve.
For dresses in lightweight materials
the lining of the bodice should be
quite a small affair, extending back
and front just below the waist line.
When a bodice is made with this half
lining the fullness of the waist line is
fastened into a piece of regular waist
betting. Or, if the bodice is quite thin
material, it may fasten, like shirt
waist. with a tape sewed across the
back, leaving the front hanging quite
straight and loose.
If walking dresses are to be four
inches from the ground, as the men
tailors insist that they must be, ladies
should really use them for walking.
ANYTHING adapted so nicely to service
should not be made to do duty in heat
ed shops alone, but should inspire the
wearer to long jaunts in the country
ways or through the length Of quiet
streets at any rate.
