GUESTS, TRAPPED IN HOTEL, LOSE
THEIR LIVES WHEN FIRE BREAKS
OUT; BUILDING TOTALLY RUINED

Omaha, Neb!, Feb. 2S.-From
twenty to thirty five persons are now
reported to have met death in the
Dewey hotel fire. These estimates
were made by survivors who insist
that not more than sixteen OF the so
registered guests escaped. The loss
Is now estimated at two hundred
Thousand dollars.
Stories OF locked doors and inac-
cesslbie fire escapes are limited at by
the survivors. A score or more OF
the guests, they insist, were caught
like rats I'm a trap.
Firemen arc rapidly clearing away
the debris, but twenty feet of wreck
age still covers n portion of the ruins
where most of the guests were sleep
ing.
A score OF guests are still missing,
but the police say some undoubtedly
went TO homes of neighbors without
reporting their safety.
Omaha, Neb., Feb 2S.-Five per-
sons are known to be dead In fire
early today which destroyed the Ho-
tel Dewey. 1t Is impossible to get an
accurate estimate, but some of the
guests Insist that at least sixteen men
and women lost their lives. The
known dead are Charles Cummings,
Mrs. Alice Bonnevieu, A. r. Porter,
Dwight Bruce ana an unidentified
man.
10. T. Connor, a survivor, says II
seemed impossible that many of the
frantic guests jammed in the Railways
escaped. Firemen believe the death
list will be increased but the number
will not be known until the ruins are
sufficiently cooled to permit search
for bodies.
Several firemen narrowly escaped
the falling walls. They tell of faint
ing women, and seeing unconscious
forms lying in the Railways as they
left the building. Fifty guests regis
tered last night but the manager de-
clared at least forty others were ir
the building.
]. Foy, broker. says he passed tho
hotel at four o'clock this morning, anc
found six persons nearly suffocated
lying inside the doorway. He carried
these to safety.
According to the guests the firs
warning came from a woman wh'
awakened the sleepers by her screams
The building was then blazing furi
ously and thirty minutes later was II
ruins. Tina Nelson leaped from TIT
second window and 1t Is believed sh'
will die.

DAMASCUS MAN SUICIDES.

Joseph Bergweiler, who a short
time ago was released from the
county Jail here, committed suicide
at his home in Tyler Hill Tuesday
of last week by slashing his throat
with a pocket knife. Bergweiler had
been respondent for some time and
was placed in the county Jail here on
the charge that he had threatened
the lives of members of his family
and of neighbors living in that part
of Damascus township. Bergweiler
had made several attempts to end his
life since returning home after his
first stay in confinement but each
time failed to carry out his purpose.
He was about seventy years of age
and came here from Germany where
he had been educated for the priest
hood. He never took the orders and
after coming to America followed
the trade of bricklayer, at which he
grew very proficient.

WIFE AIDS HUSBAND
IN CASTING HIS BALLOT.

In the Thirteenth ward a woman
voted, the first time that this has oc-
cured in the history of this city prob
ably and certainly for the first time
in the history of the present board
of election. She showed no hesita-
ton, apparently enjoyed the novelty
as the election board and watchers
did and marked the ballot with the
precision of veteran.
The lady was Mrs. Henry Kline,
of No. III South Madison street, and
the reason for her voting was the in
capacity of her husband, who is an
invalid. Mrs. Kline accompanied her
husband to the polls. Because of
his incapacity, due to a stroke of
paralysis, she accepted the ballot for
her husband and for the same rea-
son marked it for him inside the
booth and then dropped it into the
ballot box.
Mrs. Kline commented upon the
novelty of her situation, but said
that her husband was SO anxious to
vote that she had agreed to come
along and assist him. The election
officers remarked that they were like
ly to get used to women voting very
soon as woman's suffrage is just as
likely as not to come as an institu-
tion in Pennsylvania before many
years-AllentoWn Call

joyable evening was spent at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Sanders
of Greentown on Wednesday eve
ming, Nov. 5, when party of friends
from this place was most royalty
entertained. The guests, who ar
rived on a good old-fashioned straw
ride, spent the evening dancing.
There were many amusing features
connected with the affair, chief of
which was the music rendered by M.
Madden as he presided as head
drummer. A solo, when the Birds
Fly Out" was rendered by Edward
Tormey with great effect. The hills
re-echoed thunders of applause as
Leo Madden played "All Hail the
Grange" Mrs. Sanders served a
delicious luncheon at a seasonable
hour, after which the guests depart
ed with best wishes for their kind
hostess and rousing cheer for the
prince of hosts, Jacob Sanders, for
he's jolly good fellow.

500 REWARD. $500.

The readers of this paper VIII be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
it's stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only POSI-
tive cure now known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that 1t fails to cure.

DANGEROUS CATARRH
STOPPED BY HYOMEI

Just as long as you have catarrh,
your head will be stopped up, your
nose with itch your breath will be
foul, you will hawk and sniffle, you
will have droppings in the throat and
that choked up feeling in the morn
ing. The germs of catarrh have you
in their power; they are continually
irritating the membrane of your
nose and throat.
You must kill these loathsome
germs or their desperate assaults
will in time leave you a physical
wreck.
There is one remedy sold by Peil,
the druggist, that is guaranteed to
kill the germs and stop catarrh, or
money back. 1t is Hyomei-you
breathe it. The complete outfit
costs $1.00. There is none just as
good or that gives such quick, sure
and effective relief. Nov 1926

KILLED SKUNK WITH ToNGs

The Middletown Press says: Mrs.
Peter Mortensen, who has been los
ing many chickens as the result of
the raids of some animal, surprised
a pole cat of unusual size in her hen
merry on Wednesday last and after a
fierce battle with the animal, killed
it. On several occasions previously
Mrs. Mortensen had missed chickens
and this time, hearing a commotion
went to investigate. She carried
with her pair of old-fashioned fire
tongs. Arrived in the hen house,
she saw the pole cat, which was of
extraordinary size. Cornered, the
animal put upa fierce fight but des-
pite his attack, the woman beat him
down, and killed him with the tongs.
1t is needless to say that for the en-
counter, the women suffered much
discomfort, which was not allayed
by the fact that the skin of the ami
NAL brought $S, which is said to be
an unusual price, due to the size of
the visitor.

FAME AND FORTUNE FOR
MAN WITH RIGHT IDEA.

There is fame awaiting, probably
a fortune even, for the man who will
devise a suitable egg container, a
package in which eggs can be sent
through the mails without being
broken. To-day the parcel post as
the means of communication is
achieving the greatest success. 1t
has been hailed as the means of bring
ing the farm closer to the consumer
Fresh eggs, butter and all kinds of
produce from the country have been
promised through this new arm of
the governments service.
The new container must be light
and strong. Already there are quite
a few of them but according to A. D.
Melvin, chief of the bureau of ami
NAL industry, the ideal package has
not yet been found. Those that are
light are not strong enough and the
saving in postage is overbalanced by
the breakage of eggs. Those that
are strong enough are too heavy and
too expensive

GOOD HUNTING IN PIKE.

The opening of the deer season
was attended by excellent success on
the part of sportsmen in the woods
in this region. Reports from Lord S
Valley, Pike county, about ten miles
from here, are to the effect that five
deer were brought down there last
week, wrote the Hawley correspond
ent of the Scranton Tribune-Repub-
lican.
Lords Valley is looked upon as
one of the best deer-hunting sections
in this part of the state. 1t is stu
ated in Blooming Grove township
and it's wooded stretches afford cover
for all kinds of game. Nearby is the
four-hundred acre deer park of the
Blooming Grove Hunting and Fish
ing club.
Simeon Lords place is the annual
rendezvous for huntsmen during the
deer season and reports from there
are to the effect that five deer were
killed within a space of one and one
half miles. T. j. Stewart, cashier
of bank at Old Forge, succeeded
in bringing down handsome ami
NAL, as did also William Aug, of
Salem, and Mr. McKane, of Shohola
township. A party of hunters COM
posed of Tunkhannock, Hawley and
Ariel men succeeded in bagging three
deer for their days labor.
Game abounds in plenty through
out the region and the most success
full hunting season of years is an
ticipated by the sportsmen. No
bears, however, are to be found in
this section this year.

made good records during their
years of service in the construction
of the canal. At one time these
employees numbered $4,000, but this
total has been reduced from time to
time owing 70 the progress of the
work to about 900 at present.
Reductions are being made at the
rate of about 5000 per month. Col
Goethals estimates that about 5000
