EXTRAVAGANZA AT THE KRUe
williams Company Furnishes n Lively
show of Good Sort TO Big
Audience.

Harry w. and Sims Williams extrava-
ganza company drew a good house at the
Krug last night They presented two
act comedy, 1.-THE other Fellow" a hodge
podge OF buffoonery, jlngles. acrobatic work
and minstrels, embeIlished with musical d.
versions and veneered with wit. 1t Is well
staged and is under the personal manage
ment of Sims Williams. The speciality
work of Frank OBrien is the feature. He
does some clever work in the role OF
tramp He is entertaining and funny In
monologue and song, and does some meri-
torious acrobatic work. Margie Hilton and
chorus sang IF the Man in the Moon Were
a Coon" in a manner that evoked the
plaudits of the audience, and a seNtette
sang Its a Shame to Take the Money"
The chorus girls were prettily costumed
and exhibited evidences OF having had
some drill in ensemble. While thcy can
hardly be classed "all stars" they sang
with enthusiasm, and their voices were
sufficient for the class OF music attempted.
The performance was entertaining through
out. with diversion enough to satisfy the
most fastidious. 1t will be repeated at the
Krug at a matinee today and tonight.

Medical Co., Freeport, Ill. Dear
Sirs:: We saved our hogs by
feeding Rawleigh's Mountain
Herb Liniment and Imperial
Stock Food. We had a herd of
100 head of hogs that got sick
and began to die a few weeks
ago. We purchased two differ
ent brands of highly adver-
tised stock food and fed to our
hogs but they did no good. We
were about to give up in de-
spair when we read in your
almanac that Mountain Herb.
l4iniment was good for sick
hogs. We had a few spoonfulls
of liniment and we gave it to a
sick hog. The hog began to
get better right away and is
now we'll and doing fine. We
at once wrote your salesman to
send us three bottles of liniment
by the mail man but the sales
man promptly brought the lini-
ment and also some of your
stock food and persuaded us to
give both together, which we
did. We had lost 90 head of
hogs and had Is or 30 head that
were sick when we commenced
the stock food and liniment, Is
SO bad we had to drench with a
spoon, but we saved every one
treated that way. 1t is now
four weeks since we commenced
using your medicine. We have
|80 hogs left and not a sick one
on the place. They all eat we'll
and are doing fine. We firmly
believe that $3.50 worth of lini-
ment and $500 worth of stock
food saved US $4,000. We
wrote your salesman to bring
US some more stock food and
expect to use it right along and
cheerfully recommend it to our
neighbors and friends.
Yours truly,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Merchant.

My dear Father: Nineteen

joys and less of the sorrows
than the year just past.

rible rain we had Monday,

bougainvillea, a purple flower
the canopy was of smilax and
pampas grass; the maids with
yellow and white parasols.

homes are so handsome and not

of handsome hotels. The hand
soonest to me is the Raymond
with its beautiful grounds with
the flowers and palms, over
looking a valley of orange
groves, with the snow capped
mountains almost on all sides
But even this will not be in it
when the Wentworth is COM
plete, which will be in a few

building itself. The cheapest

Orange Grove avenue is even
far ahead of the noted st.
Charles avenue of New Or
leans. Here is where all the
multimillionaires live and the
grounds are beautiful with
flowers and palms. Here is
where Busch, the st. Louis
brewer lives. Back of his home
is his famous sunken garden of
SO acres. 1t is kept nice and
green and a beauty for all to
enjoy, at a cost of about $500
per month for water. Another
beautiful home has even the
gold door knobs, but this man,
| venture to say, would give all
his millions to live and see as
we do. He is blind and never
has even seen the beauty of his
home. All the wealth in the
world can not bring happiness.
Here is also the Bob Burdette
home. When you stop to think
of all this beauty now and thir-
ty years ago they tell me it
was nothing but a sheep pas
ture, it does not seem possible.
The homes built in the mission
style take my eye. There is
something so unique looking
about them.

he is the same in a sermon, and
still there is that same vein of

FATAL PULLMAN FIRE
One Passenger Burned to
Death and Several In
jured
Presence of Mind of Conduc.
tor Saves Lives


Los Angeles train No. 8 had
caught afire near Loveland and
that one passenger, Louis De
Lario, Of Laramie, Wyoming,
had been burned to death.
Other passengers injured were:
o. H. Johnson, Salt Lake City,
burns on head and neck; Henry
Cabrow, of the same place, cut
with glass and Mrs. B. Higgins,
of Cabrondale, Pa, who suf-
fered from exposure. De
Lario's home is at Laramie,
Wyoming, but lived in Wash
ington, D. C. at 1101 K. street.
! He was a clerk of the congress
sional committee on arid lands.
His age is given at 26.
The Northwestern train had
got within a mile of Loveland,
near Missouri Valley, when
passengers in Pullman car Red
field were aroused by smoke.
Conductor Hamlin was instant
ly on the scene, trying to dis
cover the cause of the smolder-
ing fire which filled the car
with smoke, but failing adj
dressed himself heroically to
to the task of protecting his
passengers and saving the
train.
This car was third from the
rear. Between it and the end
was another coach and an Oh
servation car. Before anyone
else had time to collect his
thoughts Conductor Hamlin,
taking in the situation at a
glance, was under the car,
scarcely yet brought to a stand
still, and uncoupling it from
the rest of the train. He
rushed his panic stricken pas
sengers into the rear car and
thus probably prevented a far
more appalling disaster.
CONDUCTOR FIRST ONE ALERT
While passengers were
aroused by the smoke, the con-
ductor was one of the first to
discern that something was
wrong. The trouble was dis
covered about $40, when the
train was about one mile east
of Loveland, a small station on
the Northwestern. Women
screamed and men jumped out
of their berths in search of the
fire. 1t could not be found
and thus far no one is certain
where or what it was. The
conductor and porter had an
idea that woman with a little
child had lighted an alcohol
lamp in her berth to heat milk
or food of some sort for the
baby. They went to this berth
while excitement was at its
height, but were unable to con-
firm their suspicious. This
may have been the correct
Theory; it may not.
The catastrophe threw the
passengers into great excite
ment; all were awakened, it
seems but one, and had that
one responded to the common
nervous shock the accident
might have passed with moth
ing more serious than a badly
burned Pullman car and a few
passengers slightly injured.
DE LARIo DOES NOT WAKE.
But Louis De Lario did not
wake. He was in a deep sleep
and slept on until his slumbers
became eternal. His body was
found face downward in the
aisle of the car. Evidently he
had become partially overcome
by the smoke in his sleep
and half waking had
rolled from his berth and
struggled for his life, but toe
late. He was terribly burned
1.-THE flames having almost en-.
tirely consumed what apparel
he had on. The sight of one
