PERISHED IN A TRAP.
The Office of the Minneapolis
I "Tribune'" Burned.
HKa Number of Persons Meet a SudHBT
flftn and Terrible Death.
The office of the Minneapolis Tribune, has
been burned. Tha fire was started in a law
office on the third floor of the building about
10:30 p. M. The flames did their work with
appalling speed. When this report was written
the bodies of seven men had been identified,
and it was the belief that from twenty to
twenty-five persons had lost their lives. 1'he
names of those known to be dead are as foli
lows:
Igoe, James F.. night operator for the Associated
Press. He was killed by a fall in
j attomptinj; to escape from the building: Jenkinson,
"Jerry," a printer, fell with Igoe,
and was dead when picked up; Miles, Walter
E., night agent of the Associated Press, was
killed by a fall; Millman, W. H., the commercial
editor of the Minneapolis Tribune,
? fell from the seventh story, and was instanti
Jy killed; McCutcheon, Robert, a printer,
jumped to a ladder, but missed his hold; 01sen,
Edward, President of the University of
South Dakota, was knocked off the fire- sscape.
He died soon afterward; Pickett, Milton,the
assistant city editor of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press, fell and was killed.
The elevator man noticed the smell of
:} smoke and called the attention of some of the
persons in the building to it. The cry of fire
was raised, and several persons went downstairs
from the seventh story to investigate
p' the matter, and then returned to work. Be*

stairway, the only one in the building, and
everybody began to make leisurely preparations
to depart. So immediate danger was
fear&l, although the only exits from the
bujjfcling, which was supposed to bo fireproof,
wefe a narrow staircase wide enough for two
persons to come down abreast, the
flevator and a single escape at the
north end of the structure. Several
persons had made their escape in the
meantime, but in less than ten minutes the
flames reached the elevator shaft, and blazed
up to the top story, and the editorial rooms
on the same side of the building where the
fire originated were soon a mass of flames.
In a few minutes the fire invaded the other
side, where the composing room was situated.
A general alarm was turned in. and all the
engines in the city responded to the call. The
imprisoned printers gathered at the windows
in the south end and shrieked wildly and despairingly
for aid. The long ladder seemed
to move up at a snail's pace, but was finally
in position, and the terrified men began to
descend, the flames making steady encroachments
upon the corner into which they had
been driven. Life-nets were brought into
use, and some were saved by this means.
The firemen were badly hampered by the
network of telephone wires.
The fire was a fierce one while it lasted, and
it was due to the effective work of the Fire
Department that the flames were kept from
rereading to the frame buildings near by.
Several times there have been small fires in
the building, but they were quickly extinguished,
so that less heed was paid, to the
alarm than would have been usually the case.
The sight of the sufferings of the burning,
struggling men Drought tears to tne eyes 01
the bravest, and women prayed and strong
men breathlessly watched James F. Igoe's
I brave attempt to escape. He had got clear
of the building and was gradually working
his way along the wires to safety, while thi
people below anxiously and" helplessly
watched his brave attempt to sav<
to his wife and four little ones
their bread-winner. But the wires
cut and his strength failed, and a groaE
.went up from the upturned faces far below
him when he was seen to slip from his slight
support and fall to the roof of the boilei
louse, where he received fatal injuries. Met
lifted him gently and started with him to a
drug store; but on the way, after" a last
word of loving care for his family, h?
breathed his last.
The last man of the Tribune editorial staff
.to leav? the building was Charles Alt
jJJViiliams, the managing editor, and
Although himself badly burned about the
bead and hands, he gave the following
statement of how each of those above
reported met with his death, having been an
eye-witness of the deaths of all save one.
Walter E. Miles and W. H. Millman, with ?
number of printers, started down the fire
escape. A blast of hot smoke and flame
struck Millman as he was starting, and he
Jost his hold, and in falling knocked Miles
off, both falling from the seventh floor to the
ground, and at the six floor knocked off Milnn/1
Prnfoccnr P^tror/1 Hlaon
i?ho had reachcd the lire escape from that
<loor. The four men in falling stnick against
the lowest platform and bounded away from
the building, and were dead when they struck
Jhe ground. When Williams started down the
ladder the fire was burning his hair and
(neck, and he narrowly escaped the fate of
those who had preceded him, the heat and
smoke being overpowering. The printers on
the ladder oscapea with slight burns. James
> P. Igoe and "Jerry" Jenkinson sought to escape
by the wires,'but had been weakened by
the smoke and flame so that both soon fell
off, striking on the roof of tho Tribune
boiler-room. Jenkinson was dead when
picked up. Robert McCutcheon jumped from
the window-ledge for the extension-ladder,
but his hands slipped,and he fell to the pavement.
A net had been stretched to catch
him, but he was too heavv for it. and. striking
the ground, was so seriously injured th&&
he died soon after. Pickett, Igoe, Miles an?
McCutcheon were married men, and Jenkinson
was to have been married in a short
time. Millman lost his wife by asphyxiation
a couple of weeks ago, and had just returned
to work.
No attempt to recover any of the bodies
was made that mght, but in the morning,
when tho ruins had cooled off, work was be
I gun and pushed vigorously.
WHAT WINDOM WANTS.
Suggestions of the Secretary of the
Treasury in His Keport.
The Secretary of the Treasury in his anLnual
report recommends the repeal of the tax
|ii tobacco, which will reduce the surplus
Jabout $32,000,000, and on alcohol used in the
arts, about So,500,000. No special plan for
the reduction of customs duties is recommended.
He urges the repeal of the compul-6orv
feature of the present Coinage act, and
[ cbmnifends the issue of Treasury notes
Hfainst deposits of silver bullion at the
^riarket price of silver when deposited, payable
on de; \nd in such quantities of silver
bullion as will equal in value, at the date of
presentation, the number of dollars expressed
j?u the lace of the notes at the market price
vf silver, or in gold, at the option of the
Government; or in silver dollars, at the option
of the holder.
It would seem, he says, that one of the effective
means of preventing the immigration
i of the prohibited classes would be to require
all immigrants before embarkation to obtain
certificates of character and fitness from our
Consular offices abroad, under regulations to
,be prescribed by,the Secretary of State.
He thinks the Alien Contract Labor law
1-bas partially Hailed of its purpose because of
.certain inherent defects and the impraeticabi'ity
of its administration in some of its
features that caJB for admendnsent.

Life in Labrador.
The probabilities of Labrador's becoming
a summer resort are not great, I
.though the few travelers who do reach
its^ inhospitabfe coasTsT-epailluiich of interest
to be fouud. I met one oF^tTieSis
John L. McNaughton, of Chicago, lastj
night. He is just returning from a three i
months' trip through Labrador and the J
island of Anticosti, which he says is the
most Providence-forsakcn place he ever
found.
"The island," he said, "is constantly
1 .1 I ? e l.? cinlrun

rocks aud furious currents, and swept by
high winds. I was told at Halifax, by
shipping men, that in the last ten years
upward of a hundred ships had gone down
off the treacherous shores of Anticosti.
and that fully three thousand lives had
been lost there in that time. The Canadians
tried to settle it once, but failed,
and now the island is practically uninhabited,
save by a few hunters and travelers.
"But to my mind," he continued, "it
is far better than Labrador, where the natives
are forced to hibernate for about
eight months each year. During that
time the Labradorian lives almost entirely
on the inside of his rough board hovel,
with the winds blowing ahurricane about
him. Their dogs, their principal property,
live in an open cellar underneath
the family living rooms, and fight and
howl and raise pandemonium generally.
Without their dogs the natives would be
in a bad way, for they have no roads in
Labrador. Not a mile of made road exists
in their whole 3000 miles of coast.
But they get along right well with their
sleds and dogs. I have been told that
they can make ninety to a hundred miles
a day with the dogs, but that is from ten
to twenty miles better than my experience.
The dogs arc a quarrelsome, vicious
lot of animals when with each other, aud
two packs meeting in harness is the signal
for a fight, in which the drivers
generally engage with whips and curses,
and if any women are along, their screams
add a picturesque variety to the scene, I
can assure you. Summer opens June 1,
when the ice breaks up, and then the natives
commence their harvest. Cod fishing

three months until September, when the
freezeup comes again unci drives them
back into their hovels. It is a dreary
life, but they know 110 other and I doubt
if they would be contented away from
their rocks and hurricanes and mackerel
nets. I found them a kindly, hospitable
people, as simple as children about the
ways of the world.''?New York Star.
The Struggle of Sea and Laud.
We stand on a bluff at the seashore.
The surf is undermining it. That deep
cutting into the bank is its work. An
overhanging mass of earth is thrown
down aiul becomes the toy of the waves,
which reduces it to gravel. This in its
turn becomes ammunition to be hurled
against the shore. Wherever this process
is going on, the laud falls back before
the advancing sea, and considerable
results are evident in a short time. The
Island of Heligoland has been reduced,
within a thousand years, from a consider*

NUTMEGS AS A MEDICINE.
The medicinal qualities of nutmegs are
worth a great deal of attention. They
nre fragrant in odor, warm and grateful
to the taste and possess decided sedative,
nstringent and soporific properties. In
fl.o fnllrttririrr n flVftinnfi tllCV will be fOUnd
highly serviceable: Gastralnia (neuralgia
of the stomach), cholera morbus, flatulent
cholic, dysentery, cholera infantum and
infantile cholic.
In all cases nutmegs may be prepared
for administration in the following manner:
Grate one or more nutmegs into a
very fine powder. For children, give
one-sixth to one-third of a teaspoonful,
according to the age, of this powder,
mixed with a small quantity of milk.
For adults, from a half to two teaspoonfuls
majr be given in the same way
accordiug to the severity of the case.
Every two hours is generally the best
time to administer this remedy,

of ^nutmeg, when much stronger agents

BROILED MEATS.
It is to be regretted that under various
pretexts the frying-pan still continues to
be the favorite cooking utensil in American
kitchens. A piece of meat had almost
as well be thrown away as put in a
frying-pan of fat. Gradually people are
1 mnvo infollirrflit. methods of
I ICUXUIU^ liiuiV/ __
cookery, but the change is so slow that
it is discouraging to any one who knows
how much health and life is daily and
hourly sacrificed to barbaric methods of
cookery. There is no way of cooking
meats so simple and at once so perfect as
broiling. The secret of success lies in
first searing trrer the meat on the outI
side, so as to retain the juices, and afterI
ward finishing the cooking at less intense
heat. To accomplish this the meat
should be well seasoned, slightly dusted
with flour, and placed neftr bright coals,
then almost constantly turned and cooked
on the other side." After this is done
the gridiron should be lifted up from
the fire and the meat cooked about three
or four inchcs from the coals. It should
be lifted up and turned whenever there
is any disposition to "blaze up" from fat
or [ juices dropping in the fire. Beforo

meat red-rare witliiu. A mutton chop
should be cut thick and trimmed of all
fat. It will usually take about ten minutes
to cook such a chop. Lamb chops
should be well done, but are cut thinner
and should be cooked about the same
time as the mutton chops. Ham should
be broiled to show bits of brown over
the slices, but never crisp. A slice of
calf's liver is one of the most delicious
meats broiled. Dip it in melted butter,
season and dust it with flour and broil it
over clear coals, and serve it with maitrc

the diseased portion or the ear. There Is on^
one way to cure Deafness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Denfne68 is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
tho Eustachian Tube. When this tuba gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it Is entirely closed
Deafness U the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caufeed by Catarrh) that we
cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh Cure.

H TIIE SECRET.
Aa Editor's Experience.
Major Sidney Herbert, a well-known journalist in
agricultural circles, writes Apri. 18th, 1889: Some
live years ago I wrote a letter stating that Swift's
Specific had cured me of severe rheumatism. Since
that time 1 have had no return of the rheumatic
troubles, althongh frequently exposed to the influences
that produced former attacks. Several of my
friends had a similar experience, and are firm in their
conviction that S. S. S. brought a permanent cure.
The searching power of this medicine is shown in
the fact that it developed a scrofulous taint that was
conspicuous in my blood over thirty years ago. and

S. S. 8. as a tonic after a severe attack of malarial
fever, which kept me In bed for three months, and

properties insured my recovery from that illness, as
I was in a very low condition of health.
