OLD SOLDIER KILLS HIMSELF
Indications that He Regretted Act
and Made Attempt to sPVe
His Life.

STUART, Neb., March 22-(Special Tele-
grant, .)-Frederick p. Bloom, an old soldier
and pensioner of the war OF the rebellion,
who lived alone on a homestead FIVE miles
northeast OF this place, was found dead
In the basement Of his house yesterday.
The body was lying in about a foot OF
water and there was a bullet hole In the
side OF the head. The county coroner held
an inquest today. The finding OF the Jury
was that 1t was a case of suicide. The
upper room was smeared with blood and
there was a trail Of blood down the stairs.
The indications we're that he lived some
little time after firing the shot. He had
attempted to sweep up the blood with q
broom, had opened a valise and box con-
taining clothes in the basement. He had
gone to a flour sack and had put -four on
the wound as though attempting to stanch
the blood. The revolver was found in his
pocket. The man was subject to fits and
was at times mentally unbalanced, the re-
suit OF an injury upon the head he re-
ceived some years ago. He came here
about a year ago from Butler county, this
state, and has a wife and family living
there.

JAMESTOWN, st. Vincent, March 22.-
The eruption Of La Soufriere, which began
yesterday, continued and increased in ac-
tivity during the night, becoming more
violent at o'clock this morning.
Since then the crater has been belching
forth dense, black clouds, accompanied by
loud rumblings and flashes which rend the
smoke which now wraps the entire island
in darkness. Electrical discharges oc-
Cured at intervals during the night and
at daybreak the sunlight playing on the
stupendous volcanic clouds produced ex-
ceedingly beautiful effects.
Relying upon the scientific opinion that
Kingstown. although covered with heavy
clouds which completely obscure the sun,
is not In danger, the population shows no
alarm.
According to advices from Chateau Belair,
black sand is falling there, and Point-a-

heard there throughout last night and this

INTEREST in CITY OWNERSHIP
Inquiries for Information on the Sub
Ject Come from All Sections
of the Country.

How widespread the interest is in the
subject of municipal ownership is being
strikingly illustrated by the letters OF in-
quiry being received by Victor Rosewater
as a consequence of his paper on "Munl-
cipal Electric Lighting Plants" at the re-
cent national convention held by the Re-
form club at New York. II have been
getting requests for copies of my paper
and for my opinion on various aspects OF
the question from all sections OF the coun-
try where the issue of private versus public
service is up or in prospect Last week.
for example. letters came from Bingham
to-, NJ. Y. Bowling Green, KY, Mount
Hermoa, Mass, Wabash, Ind, Lincoln,
Neb., and Frand Forks. N. D.-this apart
from newspaper clippings, marked papers
and trade journals. Municipal ownership
sentiment is certainly spreading, as the
people put more study on the subject"

TWO KINDS
OF CHILDREN

Children that grow too fast
and those that seem hardly
to grow at all, both need
SCOTS Emulsion.
1t gives that rich vital
nourishment which is the
secret of all healthy growth.
1t rounds out the long limbs,
and helps children to grow
without using up all their
strength in growing.
Mothers ought to know
more about the wonderful
help which SCOTS Emulsion
would give their children.

Vaudeville at the CreightOn-Orpheum.


This weeks bill at the Creighton-or-
pheum presents some novelties, and at least
one decidedly ambitious one. Yola Yberri,
the dancer, comes equipped with enough
scenic effects to stock five-act drama and
the beauty of the whole affair is that they
are most appropriate. With the aid of the
calcium light, the spectators are taken from
one country to another, just as senorlta
Yberri moves from one national dance to
another Dissolving views are used, so
that a most pleasing effect is produced,
while the appropriate scene is shown at
the right time, Egypt is represented by a
view of a Theban temple, Japan by an en-
trance to a tea garden, Spain by the fam
dango, France by that well known painting,
La Bande Joyeuse." Germany by a pretty
picture Of maidens in d, music room, and
the rest by classic statuary. The dances
themselves are given with appropriate
scenery for each. a miniature stage being
erected and the scenery changed between
each, while each dance is given in its own
proper costume. Senorita Yberrie Is 1.-THE
and graceful, but after a long series of ORR
entail and fire dancers, among which the
remembered La Loie and La Belle Rose, not
to speak Of some OF the buck and wing art
lists Omaha has seen the slow, classic pos
turing of the present aspirant for public
favor seems rather tame and was appar-
emily so regarded by the spectators yester-
day. On the whole. the bill runs to the
athletic, and in this regard It has some
excellent features. The Martinettis, three
men and a woman. do some very clever
Stumbling, the great Auman does a lot OF
work that Is his own, and Provost and Pre-,
vost mix some comedy with lot Of splen-
did acrobatic feats. Mr.. and Mrs. Jimmy
Barry have a skit, "A Skin Came" which
awakens lots OF laughter. Arthur Deming
is also on the bill.

Somebody must have doped The Old Mill
Stream" Just before the getaway last night,
for it got out of its course and capered
around the paddock like lamb on a warm
April day. 1t took the hurdles like bird,
and the water jump didn't seem to worry It
at all. This was doubtless due to the ex-
cellent spirits in which Robert Ryan, the
good old miller, found himself after he had
contemplated in private the intense salts
faction he would derive from The confound-
ing of the wiseacres of Mink Hollow, a
proceeding which was undoubtedly exhil-
Grating in the extreme. This exuberance
proved contagious, for II spread to others
in the company, and the total result was
as gingery a performance as the new Sully
play is likely to ever get. The large audi
ence OF Omaha admirers OF Mr.. Sully en-
tered fully into the spirit Of the occasion
and rewarded the efforts OF the star and his
associates with much applause and were re-
paid with much occasion for honest mer
riment, and some little incentive to sober
thought. Mr.. Sully was called before the
curtain at the end OF the second act, and
in a very neat speech referred to his long
continued coming to Omaha and the many
tast friends he has made mere, very plainly
saying that some of these latter could go
too swift for him, and he doesn't consider
himself piker at that.
Seriously, the piece is reminiscent OF
"The Corner Grocery" and THE Parish
Priest" 1t has the good points of both. In
a quiet way 1t tells a very interesting lit
tie story, somewhat involved, but one that
works out to the satisfaction OF all and one
that gives Mr.. Sully an excellent opportun-
ity to preach nice little sermons to every
body and to pose as en- all-'round bene-
factor from Benefactorsvllle. His methods
are the quiet. earnest sort, and his h1mor
is of the rich ebullient tyne native to his
race. Mr.. Kokman supplies the German
dialect which Mr.. Sully finds necessary as
a foil for his irish brogue, and does It very
we'll. Others in the cast are quite equal to
the requirements and the performance is
as satisfactory as the play is worthy.
