DISPATCHES from many points
throughout the United States tell of the
discontinue and in many cases of the
suffering produced by the touch of
winter which has been in evidence since
Thursday night. The mild fall, in
which all rejoiced, and the mellow
Indian summer are now out of season,
and the frost king is again at our doors.
Many are unprepared for him while
none welcome him. He is here, how
ever, whether we would have it so or
not, and his presence will be more or
less felt for several months. The lack
of suitable fuel will render the winter of
1902-19O3 historical to many. While
the bleak winds are bowling men in
well-warmed rooms and with COM
Portable surroundings are cross-question-
ing each other at Scranton. As this
goes on the short and simple annals of
the poor are rising up in evidence
against the greatest cruelty ever prac-
ticed upon the people of free country.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.-M. h. Broad
dus, jr., student of Richmond College
and son of Rev. NJ. f. Broaddus, of
Isle of Wright county, was found dead
yesterday morning in the woods about
three miles from Richmond. Two boys,
Eugene Perkins and Fred Hegemeyer,
while strolling through the pines in
Sutton's woods yesterday morning about
half past 10 o'clock, found the body of
a well-dressed young man lying in
their path. His coat was of and his
hat was crushed beneath his head.
Near the body were two small bottles,
both of them empty, while a Latin book
and a memorandum book also lay on the
ground. The boys at once hurried from
the spot and notified the authorities.
1t was generally believed that the man
had been dead since Thursday, or prob
ably the day before. There were no in
dications of foul play. The features of
the man were swollen and distorted.
There is a probability that the young
man wandered out to the woods while
i'll, and that he succumbed to the
exposure and died. Whether the
bottles found at the young mans side
contained poison or not will be ascer-
tanned by the coroner. Mr.. Broaddus
had been a student of Richmond College
for several years. He comes from one
of the best known families in Virginia,
and is a nephew of the late Rev. DIR.
John A. Broaddus. He was hard
student at college, and this session was
studying junior Latin, intermediate
English, mathematics, history, and
philosophy.

OF DEAD is LARGER
List of Foot Ball Park
Disaster shows Twenty
One Killed.

GLASGOW, April 1.-THE casualty list Of
the Ibro park disaster. when a number
Of persons were killed or injured by the
collapsing Of a spectators stand during
the international foot ball match Satur-
day between England and Scotland. has
been completed today. 1t eclipsed all the
reports and estimates Of the casualties
which were current last night.
The disaster has resulted in the death OF
twenty-one persons and the injury OF
$50. Nearly 200 of the latter were seri-
ously hurt and they were taken to in
irmaries for operations and treatment.
One hundred and fifty Of them still remain
in the inhrmaries. A large proportion
Of the injured had limbs broken. bodies
crushed and mangled and heads and faces
gashed. Several more deaths undoubtedly
will result from the most critical cases Of
fractured skulls. Today the inhrmariea
we're besieged by friends and relatives Of
the victims OF the disaster and heart
rending scenes were witnessed when the
names Of those who died today were posted
outside the buildings. The actions OF the
authorities at Ibro park in a~verting a
more general panic by permitting the game
to proceed while they encouraged the i'm
preston of the crowd within the enclosure
that the accident was not so direful, is
now generally commended.
The ~ineongruity OF the yells OF applause
mingled with the groans Of the struggling
sufferers will never be forgotten by those
who witnessed the scene at the rear OF the
terrace.

tary. The Big Bend Mining company was
organized early in the year 1900. for placer
mining on Rapid creek near Pactola. BY
extensive excavations the channel OF the
creek was changed and placer deposits
that had previously been inaccessible were
reached. The company cleaned up s35 900
for its summers work, Of which fully $780,
900 was net. A dispute arose among the
stockholders OF the company. and as a
consequence the property was tied up in
litigation last year. A valuable lot OF
mining machinery, consisting OF steam
dredgers. pumps and conveyors, stands on
the ground, and will be brought into re-
QUESTION again this year. A good-sized
camp has been started where the Rapid
River company has commenced operations.
and has been named Placerville. The
company Is also the owner OF valuable
quartz claims in the same region.

MAIL MEN WANT VISITORS
Omaha Letter Carriers Not Pleased
with Omcial Route to
Denver.

The Omaha Letter Carriers association
is troubled over the action of the National
association in its selection Of the oficlal
route from Chicago to the national con-
v%ention, which will be held this summer
in Denver. 1t was the expectation OF the
local union to entertain the national Of
hcers and the delegates enroute to the
convention for a day in Omaha, but at the
last meeting OF the executive committee
a line Of road from Chicago to Denver
through Kansas City was designated as
the oficial route, and it is said that rates
very much reduced were granted by that
road.
The Omaha association at it's meeting Sat
urday night appointed a committee to take
the matter up and an attempt will be made to
bring a number of delegates through Omaha
in spite OF the Official designation Of the
Kansas City route. This committee will
try to secure rates equally low from the
Chicago-Omaha roads and then will send
invitations to all eastern and northeastern
associations, inviting them to visit this
city and spend one day enroute. By this
means they expect that many Of the dels-
gates will pass through Omaha and that
the local association will have an oppor-
tunity to entertain them.

A Lincoln sehOolma'am has discovered
Omaha. She got on the steam cars a week
or so ago, and after travelling miles aud

buildings and a lot Of people moving about,
and Of this discovery she uttered her mind

SURE OF A LARGE AUDIENCE
Indications Are that Many VIII BE
Turned Away at Irish
Meeting.

Reports received by the general commit
tee in charge Of the Redmond-D evlin meet
ing to be held "Wednesday night at Boyd's
theater, under the auspices Of Emmett
branch Of the Irish National league, are to
the effect that practically all Of the tickets
for the evening have been disposed Of and
that the demand for additional seats is such
that It seems that many will have to be
turned away.
Joseph A. Conner. chairman of the hall
committee, has reserved a number Of seats
for persons who may COM from out Of
town. so that these people may not have
their trip for nothing. Residents of Omaha
will be accommodated as far as the tickets
in the hands Of the committee and the stores
will go. After s o'clock on the night OF the
meeting all seats not occupied will be
placed at the service OF the people who
may be on hand without tickets.
Word comes from o'Neill. Greeley Cen
ter and other towns where there are large
settlements Of people Of Irish birth and
descent that big delegations will come to
Omaha to hear the Irish members Of Psrlia-
ment.

WASHING JACKSONIAN LINEN
south Omaha Democracy TO he
Laundered by the Omaha
Club.

A washing Of dirty linen in the Jack
sonian club promises to give the
admirers Of hat association of democrats
considerable chsgrin shortly while lend
ing comfort to the unterrihed braves Of the
Douglas county democracy.
The wash day is caused by the alleged
action OF certain members OF the club.
which glories in the name OF Old Hickory
at South Omaha during the municipal cam
paign which closed with the %trlumphal cleo
tion OF the republican candidate for mayor
and the defeat Of all but one Of the cam
didates Of the democrats for the school
board.
The peculiar thing about this inquisl-
ton. which is to prove the guilt or in
nocence of a large number Of South Omaha
members Of the club, Is that II was in
stituted two days before the last election
and that the members under suspicion
were being watched closely during that
day by a committee appointed by the presi-
dent Of the club on the preceding Sat
urday night.
The matter came up at the meeting of
March 90, on charges preferred by South
Omaha democrats, who complained to the
club that the late mayoralty candidate was
being bitterly opposed by some members
" NaS u a. NNANN NAN9
fact and called for official Investigation.
The committee was appointed: the names
Of this committee not made public gem
orally and the investigation begun. 1t was
expected that the committee would make
a report Saturday night, but no report was
forthcoming and it was then said that
1t would probably be a month before 1t
would be made, as the committee desired
TO be sure before bringing formal charges
Of party dis1oyalty before the club.
Membe sof the club will not give the
names Of the persons under suspicion, but
say that 1t lie probable that several will
be disciplined.
These so-called respectable democrats
are really doing more to iniure the cause
of purity in politics than they are doing
TO help It" said a prominent member Of the
club, "and we must show them the error of
their way. In the first place when a man
not satisfactory to them Is nominated they
get out and make a fight at the polls. They
then become known as boilers and the
loyal members Of the party. the majority
Of whom stand for clean politics. have
no use for them. From that time their
support is a weakness, and the men they
champion are usually defeated. II they
would fight their battles for respectable
politics in the party they might do some
good while they now do nothing but harm
1t lie almost necessary that some SHINING
examples be made and I guess 1t will be
done"

COAST LUMBERMEN PROTEST
Complain of Reduced Rates by Minne-

formation from Minneapolis and Chicago
that after April 10 rates on lumber from
the Minnesota transfer 10 Chicago and in
termediate points will be 8 cents lower for
the output Of Minnesota and Wisconsin
mills than for the coast product. They de-
clare that such discrimination will shut Pa
cihc coast lumber and shingles out Of a
great number Of towns in Minnesota, Wis

accordingly protested to railroads, and an
appeal on the subject was mailed three
days ago to Chairman Knapp Of the Inter-

HARVARD MAN UNDER PENALTY
Franz, First BasemRn, is Declared
One Year for Profess
sIonaIism.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, April 10. G.
Franz, first baseman on the Harvard base
ball team last year, has been declared in
ligible for the nine this year by the Har-
ward Athletic committee on grounds OF
professionalism. Since the Cults affair in
foot ball last year, the MEMBERS of Har-
ward teams have been asked to consider
their records carefully In, order that no
such state of affairs should again exist.
Franz wrote TO the committee stating
that In the summer of 1885 he. played on a
semi-professional team in Winfield, Kan,
near his home. He played three weeks
and received about $50, out Of which he
paid his expenses. The Winfield teams
toured the country and Franz spent more
than tbs, $50 he had received; This clears
the Harvard committee has decided to
debar him from Harvard athletics for one
two summer base ball players. Story. and
Murphy, this year will count as one four
playing years.
Franz is one of the leaders in Harvard
Young Mems Christian association and
sings in the glee club. The loss of him
weakens the Harvard nine very much.
