WHY Colds Are DANGEROUS.

Because you have contracted ordin-
airy colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development Of the
germs that woulo not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
infectious diseases. Diptheria.
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con-
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan
ger turks in a cold than in any other
of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made 1t y
staple article of trade over a large part
OF the world. For sale by al druggists.

THE MARGIN GAMBLERS.

New York dispatches state that the
banks of that city are positively refus'
ing to lend money to Wall street op
orators who are buying stocks on a
margin. THAI is the kind OF gambling
that makes men turn gray oyer night
and the banks are right in refusing to
encourage it during the days of the
pinch in cash. Buying on margins is
just as uncertain as a faro game and
a little more risky for the country buy,
er, for the reason that when a furry
comes the hayseed is unable to protect
himself. Being far from the scene OF
operations there is nothing to be done
in his ease and he is generally rubbed
eff the slate.
Mr.. William E. Curtis, the exception.
ally well posted correspondent of the
Chicago Record Herald, is of the opin'
ion that if it had not been for the mar
gin gamblers there would have been
no stringency. In discussing the mat
ter he says:
The trouble on Wall street during
the past week would never have oc

OUR ALLEGED sALTED PLAcERs

The Denver Republican gives Wyo-
ming more attention han any other

greatness of this state and does not
lose a opportunity to give it all the
encouragement possible. Judging from
its editorial comment, it does not ap-
pear to share in the belief that the
Red Canon placers We're sailed" In
its issue of the 30th the following ed
itorial comment Is found:
Acting Governor Schnitger of Wyo-
ming has done well in ordering the
state geologist to investigate a report
that the Red Canon piacers near Lam
der We're sailed.
1T is said that the report that the
placers were sailed is not sustained
by the facts, and that the people of
Lander have for years washed gold
from those sands. According to this
story the report of sailing was put in
circulation for a purpose which, al
though not stated, may easily be con.
jectured.
state Geologist Beeler will make
an official examination of the placers,
n if his report shows hat they con
tain workable quantities of gold the
reputation of the district will be vindi.
Gated. But in any event. Acting Cover.
nor Schnitger will receive credit for
employing the power of the state %
demonstrate whether so serious q
charge is true or not. He has placed
his state in a good light, showing that
it is not willing either to wink at
fraud or to submit lightly to a charge
that the reported presence of mineral
in a certain locality within its limits
was made the basis of a scheme to
swindle the public.
Acting Governor Schnitger is an old
resident of Cheyenne, who has gained
the confidence of his fellow citizens by
faithful service and an upright life,
Noman would be more prompt to con,

osition. 1t is perfectly possible, how
ever to accomplish this task II the
cook is willing to plan carefully.
To start with, a simple outline Of
the menu could be something like
this: Savory tomato soup. followed
by broiled lamb chops, with mashed
potatoes and string beans, IN aspar.
agus salad for a third course, and the
dessert of Strawberries.
In making the tomato soup for the
first course, 1t Is possible to utilize
small portions of cooked vegetables,
which may be on hand. II there are
a few boiled potatoes. a half cupful
Of string beans, and another portion
of peas or other vegetable, they will
make a good beginning. Add to them
two raw onions finely chopped. and .
handful of mince parsley, together
with a couple Of ounces of butter, and
a seasoning of salt and pepper. After
these ingredients have simmered for
a few minutes, add a al of tomatoes.
Season with a teaspoonful Of allspice
and a tablespoonful of sugar. Cook
this slowly for a half hour and then
strain through a fine sieve. Thicker
starch, mixed with the same amount
of melted butter. Serve the soup gar
nished with small strips Of fried
bread.
For the meat course have the lamb
chops broiled to a perfect brown and
serve them on a pretty platter. or bet
ter still, a chop plate, with the pota'
toes arranged in the center. Stand the
chops up around the mound Of pota'
toes.
The string beans should be broiled
till tender and drained. Cook for two
or three minutes in a little butter and
cream and serve very hot.
The asparagus for the salad should
be cooked in sailed water and then
cut into pieces an inch long. Chill for
several hours on the ice and serve
with a dressing made of the grated
yolks of two hard boiled eggs, beaten
up with three talespoonfuls Of oil
the same amount Of vinegar. q salt
spoonful Of salt and the same guam
tity of French mustard.
Tire strawmerries for dessert may
be served with sugar and cream, OF
may be cooked in little tarts and

Union Pacific, with its thousands OF
conductors, Its ems Of thousands Of
freight cars aud its cor Of long and
heavy trains every day:
The First Conductor.
p. p. Shelby of Boise, Idaho, Is a
guest at the Paxton hotel. This Is Mr..
Shelby's first visit to Omaha since
1887. He was conductor on the first
Union Pacific train that run u of
Omaha. He came to Omaha in 1866
after serving four years in the civil
war, and went to work for the Union
Pacific railroad as conductor. when

ing stock of the Union Pacific consist.
ed of seven box cars, eve fiat cars
and two engines, and as compared with
the cars and engines that road has
today, they were mere toys" said Mr..
Shelby.

At first we carried only material fol-
building the road. 1t was loaded on
the cars from wagons drawn by bull
teams. We carried no passengers.
Finally the road was extended to Grand

cause we were compelled to sleep IN
a straw stack at that place. The first

The First Two-Car Train.
II remember well the first day We
handled two car loads. 1t was a big
event, 1t was loaded from wagons
drawn by bull teams, and as We were
pulling out one of the bulls got on the
track and the whole train was ditched.
That was the first wreck on the Union
Pacific. 1 was on top of a box car next
to the engine and was thrown to the
ground and lit straddle of the engi'
neer's neck. He was laid up for three
weeks and reported to the superintend'
ent that he had been struck by the
smoke stack. He never learned the
