misleading-a thing which Blanks ad-
vertising should never be-they at
tract the attention of the reader and
possible purchaser because they tell
about some one thing that he may pos
sibly want.
The mail-order man makes a run
on few things which he is willing to
sell at a close margin of profit in or
der to ATTRACT trade in his general line
on which heavy profits are made.
Blank should advertise hardware in
much the same manner the mail-order
man advertises hardware, and he has
this advantage-he can invite the peo-
pie Of the community to visit his store
and see the goods for themselves so
they will know just what they are buy
ing.
If. instead of expressing meaning
less generalities in two-inch space,
Blank had used little more space
and properly displayed an advertise
ment something like the following he
would have been sure to have at
tracted attention to his store, and in
all probability would have been sur
prised at the drawing power of his ad-
vertising:

BAD CALIFORNIA WRECK
A Southern Pacific Westbound Train
Derailed at Cotton.
Twenty-six People, Are Known to Have
Been Killed and 100 More Prob
ably injured.

Cotton, Cal, March 29.-One of the
most disastrous wrecks in the history
of the Southern Pacific occurred one
and one half miles east of this town
shortly after four o'clock Thursday af-
ternoon when westbound train No.
from New Orleans for San Francisco
ran into an open switch while going
at the rate of 40 miles an hour and
ten Of the IA coaches were derailed
with frightful results. Twenty-six peo-
pie are known to have been killed
and the final list will total much high
or than this number. The injured
number about 100, many of whom are
seriously injured and will die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled
in every direction. Four of them We're
smashed into splinters. Most of the
dead were Italians from New York and
Kew Orleans, going to San Francisco.
They occupied the smoker and day
coach.
Tho dead were terribly manned and
mangled. Eighteen of them were TAX
en- to the D. c. Schwartz undertaking
establishment at Cotton by clock
and eight additional bodies could be
seen underneath one of the overturned
and demolished cars. This car could
not he raised until a derrick was
brought from Los Angeles, go miles
away.
The injured were carried to this
city in vehicles of all sorts and the
Cotton hospital was quickly filled to
its capacity. Many were taken to
the Presbyterian church and to pri'
vate residences in the vicinity.
Out of about 50 Pullman passengers
there were but two sustained serious
injury. The three Pullman coaches
and the diner which were on the rear
of the train, did not leave the track.
The occupants of these cars were
practically unframed.

Tuesday of the bill for the taxation
of railroad property in cities and vii
lagos for local purposes on the same
basis on which other property is

railroads in Nebraska upwards of
100000. Heretofore railroads have

taxation.

HOW TO ADVERTISE
METHODS THAT WILL
BRING RESULTS.
SHOULD TELL THE PRICES
Generaltes Are Meaningless to the
Public-Why the Mail-Order Man
Wlns-Try the Plan.

If you, Mr.. Merchant, would compete
with the mail-order houses there are
three main essentials to SUCCESSIVE
goods-the prices-advertising.
The last Of these is quite as essen
tial as either of the others.
In the great majority of cases the
local merchant has the goods, and he
makes the prices, but in very many
cases he either fails to do the adver-
Using, or what he does do is not effec'
tive in the same way that the mail
order mans advertising is effective.
The writing Of effective advertising
is not an art, it is not business that
requires years of study to learn. A
few hours of study and comparison
will give you every essential detail
that you will need
1t is comparatively safe to say that
rs per cent of the advertising carried
by local merchants in the local papers
is worded in generalities only. Sucf
advertisements as the following arc
found in every paper:
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1907-04-05

should quote in his advertisement
should show the public that he Is
giving bargains; they should be prices
that would compare favorably with the
prices OF the mail-order catalogues,
and he should impress it upon the
public that he not only shows them
what they are buying before they pay
for it, but that the purchaser has no
freight to pay, and does not have to
wait an interminable time for the
goods he buys, as when ordering OF
the mail order houses.
1t is specific advertising that draws.
The advertiser who. describes in de-
tail the goods he has to sell, and
quotes the price he asks for 1t will
attract the favorable attention of the
public far more often than the one
who deals only in generalities. 1t is
this kind of advertising that pays 1t
is this kind of advertising that is at
tracing the dollars from the smaller
cities and towns and farms to the mail
order houses of the city 1t Is this
kind of advertising that drew $780,
100000 into the Golfers of the Chicago
mailorder houses alone last year, and
it is this kind of advertising on the
part of the local merchants that the
mail-order houses fear more than any
other one thing.
But, Mr. Merchant, whether your
line be hardware, dry goods, groceries
clothing or other commodities, it Is
well to 60 further than your newspa
per advertising, though this is the
foundation of success. Go to the loca
printer and have him make you little
catalogues of your own. They do moi
need to be large affairs, but small
folders of four, eight or 16 pages. Pu
into these folders the descriptions ant
prices of the goods you are carrying
or leaders in the line. Be sure tina
the prices quoted are right, then pu
one of these into the hands OF every
customer; keep them circulating
throughout the community, and make
a practice of getting out new ONT
every few weeks.
You, Mr. Merchant, can make adyer

Using pay larger returns than the
mail-order man secures; you can make
it the mainstay of your business, and
you can make it the means of killing
the mail-order competition in your
community. And when you do this
do not begrudge the publisher the
reasonable price he asks you for ade-
quate space in his columns. He will
give you better value than any other
commodity you can buy.

1000 Soldiers Poisoned. - The
greatest wholesale poisoning by
ptomaine occurred at the Soldiers
Home at Leavenworth when about
one-third Of the inmates, or at least
1000 men, were stricken as the re-
suit of eating hash infected with
ptomaine poison for breakfast. Over
5000 of the veterans ate the hash
but inasmuch as only third OIL
them were poisoned it is presumed
that only one of the three copper
cauldrons was infected. The home
physicians. in the task of eliminat'
ing the poison from the systems OF
the old men, used heroic measures,
and over a barrel of Epson salts
was administered, and in severe
cases, where symptoms OF heart
failure were apparent as result OF
the poison, stimulants were admin
istered by hypodermic injections
So far but one death has resulted
that of William J. Cook, aged u
years. a member of Company u
Fourteenth Missouri cavalry. TAe
home physicians state that they DO
not believe there will be any more
deaths directly from this cause
John w. Syfritt, cook at the Sol
diers Home, said: "The hash is
never prepared in copper Kettles
and the meat used was not fresh
meat. The poisonous substance,
whatever it was, was in the meat
when it came from the packing
house. as the meat was corned Deef
and was cooked right from the bar
rels in which it came. No meal Is
prepared a day ahead. All break
fasts are prepared on the morning
of the day they are served The
mistake and responsibility rests
with the meat, and not with the pre-
paring. We use 500 pounds of corn
ed beef. fifteen bushels of potatoes
and four bushels of onions In max
ing the hash for single breakfast
# is all cooked the morning it is
eaten" An 4analysis will be made
of the hash to determine positively
If the poisoning is due to ptomaine
The kitchens and dining room OF
this home have the reputation OF be
ing the cleanest in the United
States and It's is the first case o!
the kind on I cord there.
