OMAHA. Neb.. Aug. 1.-The reports of

lines radiating from this point throughout
the State come the tidingS of a restoras sion

SPECTACULAR SUICIDE.
Omaha's City Clerk Shuffies Off Before
a Crowd of Ladies.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1-William Wakely,
Omaha's city clerk. and a well-known poll
tician, was the principal in a spectacular
suicide tonight. He accompanied a select
party of ladies to a local bathing resort,
and, after seeing the ladies to the waters
edge, climbed into the ropes marking the
danger line, and, facing large crowd of
sightseers. slowly drew a revolver. and
with smile on his face blew his brains
out and dropped into the lake. His conduct
had not been unusual up to the moment
when he drew the gun. His affairs are sup
posed to be in good order and his family,
one of the most prominent in Omaha, can
assign no reason for the deed.

FRENCH HARMONY.
Its Rare Interpretation
by Herr ScheeI.
A Large and Enthusiastic Audience
Cheer the Works Which Have
Made France Famous.

Last evenings concert at the Auditorium was
devoted TO the works OF French composers
The attendance was not quite equal In number
TO that which assembled at the recent Strauss
jubilee. but what was lost In this respect was
amply made up by the widespread enthusiasm
which greeted the splendid efforts OF Herr
ScheePS musicians throughout the performance.
Indeed. with such programme as was pre-
sented, rendered with the usual delicacy and
finish that characterize all of Scheeps inter
DretalOns, little else than such an ovation could
have been expected.
Saint Saens' '.Poeme Symphonique"-"La
Rouet d. dOmphale'-came In the first part of

audience to a furor which by no means de-
creased as The evening grew on. This selection
was rendered for the first time this season at
tbose who had occasion 10 hear IL repeated its
sweet strains seemed only swee er. The
"Lion de Bal" was given as an encore after the
was received with marked approval.
new fautasie on GOunod's "Faust' was
another number which seemed to gain special
recognition. and like all but few of the clas-
sizes an encore was demanded. "Faust'' is a
great favorite In San Francisco, and when rem
dered by such an orchestra as Scheel's It's num-
berless tuneful selections seem to carry with
them an additional inspiration.
Adams "If Were King was beautifully
played. as was concert waltz by Berry GODDARD
A serenade, "Espagnolc" by Metra. and Leo
DelIDes' overture, lie Roi la Pit" both re-
ceived encores, which they highly deserved as
mark of recognition If nothing else 10 the
leader.
A faDtasie on Carmen" which Invariably
gives rise TO an outburst OF enthusiasm, was
played as usual and with the same results
Masseneps Scenes Napolitaines' followed
and closed the first part of the programme
Ambrose Thomas overture to "MIguonu
sounded as sweet as ever, and a potpOurri of
Ofenbach's operas won its usual share of
enthusiastic demonstration.
The entire programme, which comprised the
works Of numerous other prominent french
composers, was received with such universal
support as is seldom displayed outside OF
symphony evenings, and TO say that the affair
was thorough success IS touching it lightly
The concert was given under the auspices OF
the French National League Tor the benefit of
the French Library. and II is expected that a
large sum will be realized In aid OF this worthy
cause.
