When Claridy was searched at the city

to cut his throat was found in his pocket,
as was also a Bible which contained a
note addressed to his wife in which he said
he died to make her happy.
The note was addressed on the back to
Mrs. Matte Claridy. 2412 NJ street, soAth
Omaha. Until the last few days, Claridy
and his wife lived on North Fourteenth
street In this city.
Last week Claridy was arrested on COM

County Attorney Dillon Ross.

commit suicide and the case was con-
tlnued. Later in the day Claridy, who was
in a better frame OF mind. was released or

STOCKS ADVANCED
No Apparent Obstacle Was Presented
in Yesterdays Market and Tone
Decidedly Upward.

Now York, New 13,--No apparent
obstacle presented Itself TO the adj
vance in prices today. Except as
bids were raised there seemed to be
no stock offered for sale. Stocks
which have lain dormant We're reVl|-
cd by putting in bids at gradually
advancing quotations without bring
ing out any stocks, the result beinS
some remarkable advances in sale
prices. No special news features We're
dwelt upon to explain the demand
but the market took on all appear
ances of an excited bull movement
The general proposition advanced BY
enthusiasts was that the quicq re-
storation of prosperity was in sight
with prospects OF larger returns 10
capital than ever before. United
States Steel was made the object les
son for all followers OF the preva
lent speculative spirit. That stocl;
forged upwards 10 successive new re-
cord prices. It's top figure OF 5SM
represented a rise of points over the
closing price of last night, which, in
turn, showed a gain of IA over the
closing of the preceding night. The
expansion in valuation thus repre-
scented on the five million and up
wards of common stock shares OF the
corporation represented so potent 4
force of absorption in the appetite OF
capital for speculation and invest
ment as to fairly oyerpower the i'm
agination. II had that effect today
and was dominant factor in the
market.
OF the days total sales Of all
stocks. reaching 1G93,100 shares.
those Of United States Steel reach
ed 321 500 shares. The large proper
ton of the days dealings concen-
trated in that stock and in Union Pa
cidc and Southern Pacific, was signi-
fcant of the Capitalization Of forces
in the speculation. Yet the general
demand for stocks continued broal
and widespread and left practically
no quarter of the list of securities IN
exploited. Room traders caused L
slight reaction in the final hour III
realizing their days profits but the
.dyaueng tendency was sustained
N.h remarkable consistency and the

WHY We Shake Hands.

In the barbarous days of old, when
every man had to watch carefully over
his own safety. when two persons met
they offered each to the other the
right hand. the hand that Yields the
club sword. knife or other weapon OF
war. Each did this TO show that the
hand was empty. and that, therefore,
no trouble needed to be feared. The
handshake was the treaty Of peace
ia a word. the way they had OF show
