LINCOLN, Neb., June 12.-There Is
growing evidence that for the next two

are shaping in such way that he will
be forced to take a positive stand on
the liquor question the coming year.
Mr.. Bryan is popularity supposed to be
a tentative candidate for the United
states senate seat now occupied by
Elmer Jacob Burkett, whose term ex-
pires with the close of the next con-
gress. If Bryan's candidacy develops
into a certainty, and nearly every
body in Nebraska believes it will, the

the result of the earthquake which de-
vastated several towns in the southern
part of France, particularly in the de-

Great suffering is reported because
of the lack of bread and other neces-
saries of life. The casualties may be
greatly increased, as the ruins have
not yet been entirely searched.
The villages of st. Cannat and
Rognes were completely demolished

from AK, suffered heavily
According to advices received here a
number of wounded are still imprisoned

crumbled to pieces.
Among other villages seriously dam

Rognes were badly injured. There are
evidences that several we're imprisoned
for hours in the debris before they
died.
The people rushed into the streets
when the first shock occurred, crying
out in terror. Many of them later re-
turned to rescue their families.
At Rognes a family of four was
buried in the ruins. Their cries could
be heard throughout the night, but all
were dead when a rescuing party
reached them in the morning.

Mr.. A. G. Vanderbilt caused Mary
~ Agnes Ruiz to kill herself"
So says Lloyds Weekly in discuss
ing the mystery of the American wo-
man who committed suicide in this
city May 16.
The paper lays particular stress on
the suppression of the news of the
inquest and her relations with an
American ulti-millionaire.
Lloyd's Weekly insists that the En-
glish reporters at the inquest were
bribed to refrain from mentioning the
case.
Reynolds Newspaper says extrairdi-
nary efforts were made to prevent the
staff at the private hospital where
Mrs. Ruiz died from discussing the
case, and that the servants of the
Grosvenor street house were hurried
to Paris.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt cannot be found
in London. He has not appeared at
the horse show since the papers first
mentioned the suicide on Thursday.
The verdict of the coroner's jury was
suicide while of unsound mind"
Agent at Inquest
Charles f. Williamson of Paris, who
settled the affairs and paid a large
staff at Mrs, Ruizs establishment,
was the first witness at the inquest.
He identified the body and testified
he had acted as her agent.
She was the wife of a wealthy Gu
ban, from whom she had separated.
Lately, he said, she had been in ill
health and depressed and had declared
she was tired of life.
Miss Elizabeth Carney the compan-
ion of Mrs. Ruiz since last January,
testified that Mrs. Ruiz had been very
depressed at times and took tabloids
for insomnia.
She kept a revolver, according to the
Witness who further stated that her
mistress looked very ill on the even
ing of May 16.
Miss Canney declared she had no
idea that Mrs. Ruiz had shot herself
until the doctor arrived.
DIR. j. b. Sutton testified that he
found that Mrs. Ruiz had been shot
in the breast. A revolver with one
empty chamber was lying in bed.
Servants testified they heard no shot.
There was no doubt whatever that the
case was one of suicide.
