But a further in- | vestigation resulted In the bottle being found | with all its contents. It was about 1 o'clock | in the morning when the family retired, ana that time Smith seemed to be more rational than he had been at any time dur- ing the day.

When morning came her son, Samuel, went to the sick man's room, about § o'clock, to see how he was, and was horrified to find him lying on the floor, dead by was a razor, which he had drawn his throat, inflicting a single gash five inches long and reaching to the bone. Coroner Jennings was called, but after an in- vestigation decided that an inquest was un- necessary. The body was taken to Lunk- ley's undertaking rooms, where it will be kept until the relatives of the dead man are heard from. Smith had lived here for a great many years, and had been engaged in canvassing for certain patented articles for Jacob Shutz. He was a_well educated man, but had had a | very checkered career. He has a sister in | Tekamah, ~Nebi, whose husband is in the implement business and one of the leading | men of the town. He also has a daughter, | Mrs. Kilbane, who is also a daughter of Mrs. | Gardner's sister. This quasi relationship was what caused Smith to go to Mrs. Gard- ner's house when he returned to the city.

Reliable Home Remedios to Use in the As sence of Medlcal Attention. Conditions of weather and climate are probably the most important of all known agencles in the causation of pneumonia The influences of cold and dampness in in- asing the llability to acute inflammatory ses of the chest are well known, The fs also more common in temperate climates than in reglons characterized by great heat or extreme cold. Pneumonia is a trouble which quickly upon one's system that it falls 0 is hard to | discover the precise moment of attack, ‘Wear a chamols skin jacket lined with flannel next the skin all winter if one has any predisposition or inherited tendency toward this weaknes: advised one physi- | clan; “1 find this an excellent preventative.” | “It is also a good idea,” he continued, ‘‘to keep the blood well nourished. Stron food is a formidable foe of pneumonia, for | it puts the tissues in such condition from Its | effect that they throw off the cold.” Pneumonia goes harder with men women, all doctors agree, the reason being that the latter are more constantly exposed. | As soon as the rigor comes on, which is | as significant of approaching danger as the | shrill rattls of a snake, go to bel. D> not temporize with the disease, Discretion Is the better part of valor and a quick sur- render makes the enemy less implacable, Take an effective laxative, 20 grains of | Stay in bed for thirty-six hours and in six | cases out of ten the symptoms will pass. | In children the rigor is often displaced 18 | a convulsion or violent fit of nausea In amateur treatment to provent what inclincs toward pneumona care should always bo taken about the heart. Failure of car diac power Is the great source of danger, | and, therefore, digitalis, which is such a help in uncomplicated cases to depress the circulation, has to be used sparingly wh:re any heart ‘weakness is discernible, But quinine remains good In all cases and stages. It can be taken in large doses, twenty grains or more, repeated at intervals of twenty-four hours. A full dose of brandy is an excellent accompanyist to th's. Cold baths are given at once abroad, but it is not a safe thing to try without the aid di a physician, and would be classed more as a cure than a preventive. So the old time remedy of a good hot mustard foot bath with a blanket wrapped about the knees and a few blankets over the body stands | still in favor at the beginning of the inv sion. Absolute quiet should be maintained from the start, for the nerves play a gri in the development of pneumonia, room should be at a temperature of 68 de- grees. Milk, soup or lemonade, quite hot, should be the only food. If the fever rises cold sponging is the thing to do, except in the case o/ weak children, when tepid baths should be substituted. Turpentine inhala- tions assist expcctoration, tone up the sys- tem and are pleasant for the patient. Some of the physicians now favor an hypodermic injection of borax, claiming that it is an excellent arrester. If there is a pain in the side or lungs, which generally accompanies the rigor, mus tard plasters should be used and wet or dry cupping, according to the intensity of the pain. Some physicians are using chloro- form soaked in cotton, with a dry layer of the cotton protecting it, to alleviate the dis- tress. Buf, again, this deserves professional treatment. If one has any tendency throat trouble it toward lung or is well to remember that the ankles and arms should b2 kept wi covered. These parts are very sensitive, and the woman whe wears a short-sleeved, high-necked shirt is more fmprudent than if she exposed her throat. For this reason high boots should be unvaryingly worn in cool days outside of the house or inside, if there is no furnace heat CHINESE ROBBERS. Blowing Oat the Lights and Carrying he Dinner. One can scarcely pick up a paper now- adays without coming across a dozen cases of burglary, but dexterous as are our thieves in stealing articles of every descrip- tion, says the Hartford Courant, the Chinese thieves are far more daring. In Canton there is a bold and ingenious gang of thieves who work with apparently little hindrance. A shopkeeper will not leave his shop to denounce a_thief who is committing depre- dations at his very door, but will probably laugh at the impudence of the clever and successful vagabond who, unmolested, carries off his prey. A single thief has been known to arrest a sedan chair and to rob the party conveyed within it, the bearers (they not being accomplices, but consider- ing the matter as no concern of theirs) stop- ping and looking on while the nefarious deed was done. In one case where a short- sighted man was being carried in his sedan, his spectacles were removed, his pockets were emptied, and the robbery took place in a long street where multitudes of persons were constantly passing. Among amusing modes of plunder in China is the fishing for fowls,- the catching of them with rod, line and hook. A man will sometimes be seen sit- ting on the wall of a poultry yard bobbing his bait among the cocks and hens, and every now and then, after twist'ng its neck, con- veying one away to his bag; and that being replenished he will move off with a simplicity and serenity of countenance like the gravest of mandarins. At Macoa, on the ground floor of a large house, a table was spread for a late dinner. It was covered with many o | delicacies, and, as usual, there was an abund- ance of silver plate. The :un had gone down, the wax candles were lighted and the win- dows left open to a'r the room. Suddenly a great number of bamboos were seen to enter on all sides, and at the same moment every light was extinguished by a puff from the hollow bamboo tubes. The apartment was plunged in darkness, a band of thieves Jumped in, and before the astonished guests realized what was being done the whole of the plate was carried away. And, as a boat had doubtless been provided for the transport of the spoil to a neighboring island or to the mainland of China, no trace was ev:r found of the robbery or the robbers. s ANNOUNCEMENTS, Bzra Kendall and his company will present to the patrons of the Fifteenth Street thea- ter for three nights, commencing Thursday evening, December 6, a type of entertalnment that has not heretofore been seen in that house. During his coming engagement Mr. Kendall will present his new comedy drama, “The Substitute.” This production, while it is largely comedy in nature, has a distinet measure of human interest and a plot of sufficient continuity to hold its four acts together cohesively. Mr. Kendall's special line of work Is that of depleting “old country- men" characters. He first found his m:asure in this line when he assumed the part of Dr. Mulo Medicus in “We, Us & Co.,” and made the hit of that piece at the Fifth Ave- nue theater in New York some years ago. Then he followed the same line in his Giles Buttons in “A Pair of Kids,” playing that farce exclusively for ten seasons. ‘“The Sub- stitute” was intended to mark a distinct ad- vanes in his work, and eastern critics last season were generous in their praise of it. Mr. Kendall's character is that of Simon Pure, a New York state farmer, whose fos- ter son is made the tool of a clique of Buf- falo politicians and is elected sheriff to serve their ends, The dissipations of city life in- cident to a political career Is about to ruin him when Simon Pure steps in and by gen- erous aid rescues the boy. This is a mere central incident, around which revolves others in which fun is always in the ascendant. Jennle Dunn, a clever comedienne and vocal- ist, has the part of Crullers, a madcap, and Leo Hardman plays Grandpa Happy—100 years his next birthday, but still on deck. Numerous songs and specialties are intro- duced, and it is promised that the perform- ance will have enough vim, vigor and go to keep an audience thoroughly amused and en- tertained. *““The Substitute” has a distinct “home {nterest,” being entirely free from any objectionable features, and with the ob- ject of obtaining such patronage every lady attending (he advancs sale Thursday, De- cember 6, between the hours of 9 and 10 a. m., will receive a reserved seat free. e Oregon Kidney Tea cures all kidney ‘ri | be more than the usual number | ilu.tration of this last bles.

Prepara- | tions are being made by different socloties to | help take care of the poor, and among these | is the Associated Charities, which has dorie | a great deal of good work since it ganized on September 1, 1802 the organization of the Assd and even since then, vised charity gven to people who are posters, and even now, with all of the that is being exercised to prevent imposition, there are some who get the best of the good | hearted people and receive assistance when | they are not deserving of it, or else d | need it. The public was given a practical winter, when a cer- ta'n newspaper ops a relief burean. Many people contributed their space supplies to this bureau when they would have otherwise sent them to the Assoclated Charities or to some recognized . relief institution. Th:se supplies were distributed with as little dis- criminat'on as they were received, anl the best of them went to Rescus hall, in the old Douglas strect theater, where a lot of people were assembled who had no claim or right to charitable assistance. The best of the clothing was scrambl=d for by the inmate. of this place, and many of the deserving men who were there went flly clad because they would not fight for the clothing that was brought down there. Some of this clothing found its way into puwnshops and over bars, where it was traded for liquor. Even at this early date some of the profes- sional loafers are Inquiring it Rescue hall is to be opened again this winter. The man- agers of the place arc not to blame, but hey lacked an organization and weré not up to the tricks of some of these profes- sional beggars. This winter all charitable work will be in gcod hands, and only those who are erving and willing to work will be given as- | sistance. The Assoclated Charit'es has opened up its wood yard and gives daily em- ployment to fifteen or twenty men, and as the days grow colder will start the soup house, where an able bodied man can secure a nutricious bowl of good soup by working for it. Of course when a man is known to | be disabled he is not required to work, but | none of those who receive as ance are ex pected to try and make this his h-adquarters for the winter. The men are gven about threa hours work each day for three days, | for which they receive an, order on some | restaurant for two meals and an order on some respectable lolging housq for a bed. HOW MEN ARE. ASSISTED. Secretary Laughland is continually looking | out for permanent positions far the men who are working temporarily;in the wood yards, 50 that they come and go as fast as places provided for them. . A man In need of assistance makes applicagipn to the sec- | retary, who fills out a blank and then care fully investigates the case. . In the mean- time the man is given, work in the wood vard, and if he is found' to be a worthy ap- plicant the needs of himseif and family are immediately suppliet. The married men are glven the preference. . The men in the | wood yard are provided with; good tools and | tet at work sawing up scraps from sawmills, which are cut up into kindlihg wood, and oak and h'ckory cord wood, Which is cut Into desired lengths for cooking stoves and furnaces. This wood is,sold in the city for about enough to pay the expense of get- ting it cut up. The headquarters of the association are at 807 Howard street, where the wood yard and soup house is also located. Last winter the oficers allowed poor families to utilize the rooms on the upper stories to live in, but they were imposed upon in such a manner | that it has been decided not to let anyon= | live there this winter. The association is co-operating with the city and county authorities this winter, and is about complet- ing arrangsments by 'which a large number of men can be given employment all winter. A goodly quantity of supplies are now on hand, but will scon be disbursed when the winter actually sets In. The donations have been quite light this fall, as many of the | contributors find themselves in straitened circumstances. A quantity of old furniture, | stoves and other supplizs has been received, | and the secretary has supplied a dozen fami- | lies with stoves this fall. One deserving | family in hard luck has been provided with enough furnitur: to fix them up in quite comfortable circumstances, and sinca (hen the husband and father has managed to se- cure enough odd jobs hera and there to take care of his family. The dispensary is moder- ately well suppiled with drugs, and besides the regular physician, a number of the other doctors call there and tender their services | one day in the week free of charge. The Assoclated Charities began its work on the 1st of September, 1892, and during the first year furnished rellef for 594 families. From™ September, 1893, to September, 1804, relief was given to 1,830 familles, and from September 1, to November 23 of this year 273 familles have been aided, making a total of 2,697 families which have been ma- terially assisted in their struggle against poverty, besides the single men and women of whom no mention is made in this esti- mate.

The szcretary has recently complled his second annual report, and in the introduc- tion he says: WHAT THE SECRETARY SAYS. “The past year has been one of exeeptional industrial and financial depression throughout our country, and has been severely felt In our own city, and has therefore made our work very heavy. From the large and sud- den demands made upon us, and the lack of co-operation, the work has not altog:ther been so satlsfactory as we should have desired. The tramps, professional beggars and unde- serving class, roaming from one relief bureau to another, reaped a rich harvest, and our second hand stores profited largely by the quantity of clothing sold to them. We trust that In future this will be prevented by adopting and carrying gut 'the plan of work proposed for the coming winter, which was published in The Bee.® With such precau- tions we feel certain that the deserving poor will be well cared for. “The alms and objects of our association are being more fully understood and appre- clated by the public, as shown by the confl- dence the Citizen's Rellef committee had in entrusting us with thé distribution of the funds collected by them 'for relieving the poor last winter. ¥ “We would again urge ‘the public to keep & supply of our cards to Jive to thoss seek- ing assistance, and refer to us for Investiga- tion and relief, if foy 3. deserving. The professionals generally kefiss or afterwards destroy them, knowing they will recelve no sympathy or assistance from us. We would specially warn the citizens against alding children begging, unless known to them. Take their address and {mmediately write or telephone our central office, and our investi- gator will call at once upon their parents. Our experience in a large number of these cases i3 that they have given a false ad- dress and are not found. In aiding them you are training another generation of beg- gars and paupers.’” WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION.

In the wood yard 865 married men were given 7,710 hours of work and 1,181 mea's, and lodgings wera supplied to single men, and out of 167 applicants ninety-six were given work, but the others refused. Temporary employment was found for 260 persons, and permanent positions for thirty Christmas dioners were provided for 147 families and 473 children, and the soup Kitchen supplied 4,588 dinners for working men. The legal department m\-..u\g.m»d‘ twenty-five cases wherein chattel mortgages | had been given on household fixtures and | were about to be foreclosed.
