COLD SNAP MAY END TODAY
Weather OMciaIs Give Their EncOur-
aEennent After FriEId sunday
in Nebraska.

Yesterday was a cold day. Most people
were able to ascertain this fact without the
aid Of Mr.. Welsh's machinery on the fed
oral building, which machinery Is of a warm
and full -blooded nature. apparently, regis
tering a meager / or 2 below at times when
a cheap private thermometer shows a salts
tying I or s degrees. Mr.. Welsh gives II
out that at S o'clock yesterday morning the
cola meter was 1 degree below zero. the
10 vest for the day. At 3 o'clock in the
Z tternoon 1t stood 4 above. There was also
during the day a twenty-fve-mile northwest
breeze.
IN the western parts Of the state the
tom )~erature was somewhat higher and in
tho northwest, North Dakota and eastern
Montana, much lower, standing 8 below at
Z a. m. at williston and Bismarck. The
lowest reached at Valentine, Neb., was 2
below at : a. m. North Platte and Rapid
City went 2 below Saturday night and u
above yesterday. These figures exactly
verify the prediction Of the weather depart
ment.
The weather men looked last night for
little II any change today. They, however.
think 1t not unlikely that the cold wave
will wear itself out before Tuesday morn
Ing.
Paraselenae. or as they say in the rural
districts, moon-dogs. were visible for a few
minutes after $40 o'clock yesterday even
ing, This phenomena is Of very rare oc-
currenoe and is sometimes not observed for
years. On December "a. 1901, a beautiful
pair were seen. The dogs Of last night were
not particularly bright and lasted a very
short time. The moon had reached an ele-
walton Of about IS degrees at the time. This
phenomena is due to a great number OF
minute ice crystals in the air at about six
miles above the earth's surface. Under
certain condition these refract the light
from the sun or moon and cause luminous
spots in the sky at equal distances from
the sun or moon. The weather department
places no Importance on the paraselenae,
they having no effect and being significant
of no change.

". D. BECKETT FOUND DEAD
Milkman Discovers Body West Of the
Village Of Benson.
EVIDENTLY sUccUHBs TO THE COLD
Is Found In KneeIinE Attitude at
Edge of snow Drift-History Of
His Brilliant Legal
Career.

While driving along the road two and
one-halt miles west Of Benson, Henry Rapp.
a milk man, discovered the frozen body Of
Attorney W. d. Beckett Of this city, Sunday
Afternoon about l O'Clock. The deceased
was last seen alive in Benson about IL
O'Clock Saturday night. He is supposed to
have been wandering and, overcome by the
severe cold weather, to have kneeled by
the roadside and expired.
Tae body, when found, was lying near a
snowdrift in a partially k~neeling position.
As soon as the discovery was reported to
Coroner Bradley he went to the scene, hnd-
ing the body alone. The remains were re-
turned to this city and are now at the
norgue.
The deceased was a. years old and was
born in Ohio. HI came 60 Omaha about
fifteen years ago, after retiring from the
mining business in Colorado. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in this county shortly
after his arrival here, and Immediately
gained prominence through his determine
tion in winning cases In which technical
legal points were brought to light. He
rose rapidly and figured in some Of the
largest suits recorded in the Douglas county
do ,kets.
Earns Large Fees.
During his fifteen years residence here
he won distinction in the Byron Read liti-
cation, in which he was compelled to at
tick the constitutionality OF the inherit
lance laws. For his efforts In this case
alone his fees are said to have aggregated
$25, 900, while in the Kitchen litigation he
is said to have received $40 900 for his
services. Other cases which were placed in
his care are said to have netted him large
rewards.

Judge Guy r. c. Read Of the district bench.
Mr.. Beckett is survived by a wife and two
children, Guy and Marjarie, besides two
children by a former wife, one OF whom, q
daughter, resides in Omaha, the son resid-
ing at the old home in Ohio. He is also
survived by several brothers.

A. r. Ludington. a Milwaukee drummer,
gazed dreamily out through a window at
the sehlitz yesterday while the storm ragged
and said:
81 never GO through a stormy Sunday
without thinking of the time I met the fox
lest landlord In the United States. He has
a dinky little tavern out in a certain Kan
sss town and makes money when other peo-
pie would be going bankrupt. / got caught
there one Sunday when there was Just
about such a little blizzard as this in OPP
Grafton and l fed from my frigid bedroom
to the office to get warm. / found three
other fellows backed up close to the stove
and looking cold and mad. I didn't wonder
foE 1t struck me that that was the coolest
office l ever entered in my life. 1 COM
planned Immediately to His Royal Highness
behind the desk and His Royal Highness
simply jerked his thumb toward a big
thermometer on the wall and said: What's
the matter with all you fellers. Amt 60
warm enough for you?
II looked, and sure enough It was So
above, so 1 shut up and edged over toward
the stove. One of the fellows, 1 noticed,
was beginning to look hard at the Their
mometer, which was a big one with red
mercury and it's globe completely hidden
by the protecting brass Jacket. After a
while the landlord stepped out and this
man 1 had noticed made a dive for the
thermometer. He gave one look down I'M
der the jacket and then he yanked the
whole thing OF the wall and broke II on
the edge of the desk. Then he held the
pieces TOWARD the rest OF us, and I'm a
son-of-a-gun II the bulb hadn't been broken
of in days past, its fluid emptied and a red
thread punched up the tube to the SO mark.
What we said to that landlord when he re-
turned was warmer than his old house ever
had been, and when I left he was feeding
coal into that Office stove as fast as the
Lord would let him. apologizing all the
time and expressing the hope we would not
injure his business by telling Of what he
declared was "a joke"

at is barely possible says F.. ]. Mack,
clerk of the courts at Albion, Neb., and
now a guest at the Merchants hotel, that
the people Of my judicial district may have
a tear up in the next judicial election, for
in my county (Boone) they feel SO sighted
that they talk Of making no nominations at
the conventions and then running indepen-
dent candidates by petition, with men of all
parties enlisted in their behalf. It will
serve to touch up those fellows in Hall
county and remind them that we haven't
had a district Judge in our neighborhood at
all. The district is L-shaped, 1Os miles
long and 1s6 wide, and when we want any
thing done in chambers we have to 20 a
long ways to get it. The bar of Boone
county is much exercised, as year after
year 1t gives It's support to the judges nomi-
mated without getting close accommodate

Vaudeville Mt the CreightOn-Orpheum.
A bill OF several good acts and one at
least for which not so much can be said
opened at the Creighton Orpheum yester-
day. Two good sized audiences were pres
ent and enjoyed thea mirth-provoking acts
and antics to the utmost. John T. SullivFn
and company, which means Miss Margaret
Anterior, give what is described on the bill
as Sidney Grundy's clever comedy, Cap
tain Huntington" Sidney Grundy may
have written 1t, but 1t must have been one
day when he wasn't thinking. II he or Mr..
Sullivan would only stop to think, they
would remember that a man who can rise
to the rank o; captain in the British or
any other army in these times Of slow pro-
motion must know enough to write a let
ter. even II 1t be a love letter, and needs
no instruction from anyone as to the dot
ting OF eyes. And even the most diffident
lover doesn't need a house to fall on MIN
when he has finally made good" Mr.. Sui
livan is a man of much capacity as an actor
and Miss Atherton is not without ability,
and they give much life to the rubbish the
distinguished author of their sketch has
furnished them with, but It is a mistake
to think that vaudeville patrons are so de-
void Of intelligence that they will accept
farce where comedy Is promised, and buff
foonery in lieu of wit and humor.
Thorne and Carleton are really good in
their skit, What Papa Brought Home"
not so very attractive in title, but full Of
bright lines and laughable situations. HRr-
rigan, the original hobo juggler, not only
juggles we'll but intersperses his perform
ance with remarks that are funny, and
winds up with a monologue that is better
than those furnished by a number Of peo-
pie who set up to that and nothing else.
The musical feature of the bill is furnished
by Misses Raymond and Fenn-Guard. cor
nettist and pianist. who were very well re-
ceived. The Leslie jumping dogs are a
feature that will appeal to anyone inter-
ested in clever and we'll trained animals.
In the kinodfome is a reproduction Of the
fairy tale OF Jack and the Beanstalk," as
enacted at a London Christmas pantomime,
and which will be greatly appreciated by
the children and BY grown folks, too, for
that matter.
Manager Reiter has introduced the prac-
tice OF using kinodrome pictures between
acts, to relieve the waits, a move that
ought to be popular.

At THE P~LAYHOUSES
Heart of Maryland" at the Boyd.

Of Maryland" nj the Boyd.
Maryland Calvert's heart has been aimed
at and missed by Tom Boone. dead shot, so
often in Omaha that It would almost seem
that people would tire Of the situation and
others that Mr.. David Belasco brought to-
gether from a wide range Of well known
plays and stories for the purpose Of har-
rowing up the feelings Of susceptible aud
itors and giving emotional actresses a
chance to draw deep breaths, heave huge
signs. sob deep sobs and do a gymnastic
stunt with a big bell. But the Boyd was
filled last night to watch his thing Of
''shreds and patches'-maybe this was why
the orchestra played "Mikado" music last
n~ight-done again.
And the piece was we'll done, too. Every
accessory needed for it's successful produce
tion is in service and a good company has
the lines well in hand. Miss Alma Kruger
makes a splendid Maryland, her work in
the role suffering nothing by comparison
with that Of Mrs. Carter. who created the
part and first presented the play here. Miss
Kruger is, indeed. in some ways more ac-
ceptable in the role than was her illustri-
Gus predecessor. for she plays the part in
a minor key, giving expression to the in
tensity Of her emotions by controlling
rather than allowing them TO control her.
Herbert Bostwick has made the part Of
Colonel Thorpe his own by his long con-
nection with the company. He is a capable
actor, and enacts the unweicome role with
intelligence and discrimination. In the
opening scene Of the third act he finds an
opportunity which a less thoughtful actor
might easily spoil by overacting, but he
carries 1t with a realistic touch and makes

promptly from end to end. Curtain calls
were numerous last night and at the end OF
the third act Miss Kruger aud Mr.. Johnson,
who has the role OF Colonel Allen Kendrick,
were cheered as enthusiastically as Ben
Hur was at the conclusion Of the chariot
race the night before.
