BRINGS BODY FROM MEXICO
Harry Dtri'i Returns from Long Journey
with Bemaini of Nethirton Hall.
OFFICIALS COURTEOUS, BUT EXACTING
Traveler (liven Inicrentliitf Account
of It I n Kpprlcnre In 1111 Old,
but Qutfr and Undevel
oped Country.
Harry Davis arrived homo Friday meru
it) g from Comathau, Mexico, with tfie body
Df Netberton Hall, who died there March 20,
1900, frojn gaitrlc (ever. Mr. Hall left this
city about two years ago and engaged In
raining In tho southwest. At .the time ot
Ills death .he owned a copper mine In the
mountains about Comathan, a little town
twenty-flvo ipllra lpland from tho seaport
of Manzanlllo.
1'ubllc funeral services were held over
Mr. Hall's remains In St. Itarnabas' church
at 10 o'clock Friday morning, the service
being read by Rev. John Williams. The In
terment was In Prospect Hill cemetery and
was private.
Mr. Davis speaks of the treatment which
was accorded him In tho Mexican towns
and cities which it was necessary to visit
In arranging tho details for the removal
of tho body as having been most courteous.
Manzanlllo is 1,669 miles from San Fran
cisco by the water route and tho journey
down from the California port wns a pleas
ant one, enhanced by beautiful weather.
To reach Comathan ono has to go by one
of the worst of mountain trails Inland from
Manzanlllo and the only method of trans
portatlon between tho two towns Is packing
by the natives.
Long on Itrd Tnur
To remove the body It was first necessary
for Mr. Davis to go before the governor
of tho province, Colonel KranclscJ Santa
Cruz, at Collma. That official received him
very courteously' and readily granted blm
the desired authority and permits and Is
sued tho Instructions to tho under officials
to permit the removal. Returning to
Manzanlllo Mr. Davis secured the port doc
tor, one other doctor and six citizens who
had to overaeo tho removal of the body
from Comathan. They wpro required, when
the work was all completed, to make a
sworn statement that all the details had
been performed i) regular order and tins
statement was sent to the governor of fbe
province. i
Tho temporary burial bad been mado In
a red cedar casket of native manufacture
This was oxhumed nml placed In the me
tallto casket which Mr. Davis had takon
with blm from San Francisco. The double
casket wnlghed 700 pounds. It was strapped
to poles and thus carried across the
twenty-fire mile mountain trail by natives
Tho carrying party consisted of twenty
men. Don L. 13. jCasrell, the head politico,
or sheriff, was In charge. Oat of the na-

did the actual work In shifts of eight men

Mr, Davis returned to Manzanlllo with
the official party. He started trom that
port on the Colon February 15 and arrived
off San Francisco last Saturday. The
weather had been very rough all the way
up and the trip had been a hard one. The
cap.taln of the vessel was afraid to at
tempt to enter the Golden Gate with the
storm that prevailed Saturday, so he put
out to sea for the night, When they
steamed in Sunday morning they met the
floating wreckage from the Rio de Ja
neiro, which had been wrecked in the storm
off the harbor.
Few American There.
Concerning the people In Manzanlllo Mr.
Davis says the educated Mexicans and
Spaniards appear to be a good class of
people. There are a few Americans there,
one being the proprietor of a saloon and
another a doctor from Chicago. The lat
ter has n large practice, as the natives
have unlimited confidence in the skill ot
the American. The majority of the people
there, however, arc natives of a low class.
They are uneducated and live In a rudo
way, more like the American Indians In
their native state than any other people.
ine mountains are full of rich minerals.
which promise well to tho men who work
them out. Tho trouble In mining, as well
as in almost any other advancement for
the country, Is the scarcity of fuel. Prac
tically no coal has been discovered and
wood has to furnish alt of the fire. A nar
row gaugo railroad operates In that vicinity
and uses wood exclusively. The country
abounds m several kinds of hardwood of
excellent variety. All sorts of tropical
iruits grow (here readily, but nil other

The mayor's recommendation for the ap
pointment of three citizens to appraise
property belonging to the city Is Interesting
real estate men. The law provides that
such an appraisal be mado onco a year;
but it Is said that a good many years have
elapsed since the law was compiled with
In this respect. Threo disinterested prop
erty owners, for npt more than three days
at $3 a day, are to be employed by the
city, and It Is not always easy to find quali
fied men who aro willing to spare the tlmo
from their business to do the work.
In addition to the city hall and the Jail,
tho schoolo aud tho parks, the city owns a
number of lots In different parts which
have come Into its possession ot different
times. There arc also a large number ot
strips on tho outside of lots, where a street
has raccn narrowed. There havo beensev
cral applications for this sort ot property
lately, but tho city has been disinclined
to tell without knowing bettor what it
was worth. It Is another Instance of tho
prevailing uncertainty In real estate values.
ComlilnliiK Comfort nncl Stnlilllty.
In many respects perhaps the finest $10,
000 residence yet bullj in Omaha Is that
into which Mr. and Mrs, W. P. Harford
havo moved thla- week, on the corner of
Georgia avenue and Illckory street,'
Mr, Harford's long pxperienco in adjust
ing losses for lire insurance companies has
given blm n knowledge of building methods
that ho has turned to practical account m
building a homo tor ' himself. There Is
nothing showy or pretentious about the
place, which Is designed primarily for com
fort and convenience, but with strict at
tention to evej-y detail that tends to
strength und stability. It Is a framo struc
ture, but Mr. Harford believes he has n,
building thut Is more lusting than if Us
walls were twelve-Inch brick. His experi
ence has shown that a cyclone "will shat
ter a brick wall, whero a well-constructed
frame edifice will stand unharmed.
It has teen his aim, therefore, to make
his framework solid. The studding ot te
exterior walls is nil 2x6, and t is tic some
with tho main partitions. Tho walls are
ohlplapped, and papered, and wcajtber
bearded on the outside, and shlplappcd and
plastered on tho inside. All tho floors are
double and papered between.
As security ugainst fire, the hot air pipes
conue:ted with the heating plant are
wrapped with asbestos und, in, addittqa.
wherever they come into contact with any
woodwork they are protected with steel
lathes.
The inside arrangements show clearly
that the eye ot the designer was constantly
directed to the comfort of the occupants.
The kitchen, which is In tho northwest
corner ut the house, Is so separated iron)
tho other rooms that there Is small cluuico
of a guest guessing at the menu before (the
dinner Is served. To keep the house en
tirely freo from uny knowledge of the cook's
doings, however, tho kitchen stovo Is fixed
Into a rfcess which ha3 a special Mutllatr
ing shaft to carry r-1' odors right through
the roof.
Every room Is accessible rom the halls
and yet tho arrangement Is such that there
are no long passages. On the firt floor the
parlor, 10x16 tcet, occupies the southeast
corner, and behind this is a library, 15x?0,
including a big bay window, with bookcases
built Into the walls. Tho dining room Is
at the back of the house and is entered
direct from the hull, with no doorway lead
ing into tho library. The balls and stair
way ure well arranged on the north side ot
the house, with plenty of light, and on the
second ficor are five bcdrootUB, a dark room
and u bathroom, and an abundance of
closets, and there is another bedroom in
tho attic.
A corner mantel' is a feature .of -the,
library, bulk .of silver gray brick, with
Tuscan red tilos for the shelf over tho .fire
place, and Xor the wall behtpd .It. There Is
a paneled hardwood cornice over all .und
tho general effect Is plain and rich.
The general schome .of tho house is Mr.
Harford's owu work, and In .reducing .It to
scientific lines he ad the assistance of F.
A. Hennlnger, architect. The building wis
in the hands of T. G. McHvalnc.
Speaking ot the cost, Mr. Harfoid sa.ld
that he might easily liuvc saved 1,000 ,.or
$1,500 which has been spent in better ma
terial and work, but that ho believes that
by the (arc that he has taken to have
everything good and well put together lie
will save 25 per cent 'n money spent on re
pairs In tpn years. "
The houso faces east and south and from
the front porch a splendid view over ,the
town and up and down tho river, Including
a Gtretch of hills for thirty miles jn tho
Iowa side, cau be obtained. Trees will be'
planted ou the lot this spring p.ad possibly
other Improvements will be adde later.
Apprnlnnl nml Auction In Our.
By tho rules which were adopted to
govern the real estate auctions tho exchange
has incorporated a jiow jcutu.re into the
scl'cmc. The fact possibly was not .ap
probated by oil of the members who voted
their approval to tho .work of the commit
tee ut the last rular meeting. Never
theless, in the opinion of agents who a;c
looking or big results from the suctions, It
Is ono wiilcb is likely to old materially
In their success.
Said one of them ycstcrdayi "Tho ex
changes of many cities havo a standing
appraisement committee, which will set a
value on any property on payment ot a
fee, .which is divided botwecn the exchange
and (be members of the appraisement com
mittee. This seems Impractical for Omaha
at present, but wo believe that our auctiba
.rules an they now standwill cover ,thc
double ground In a very slmplo way.'-'
One of the difficulties which the auc
tions commit teo had to wrestle with was
to provide sufficient Inducement and safe
guard to encourage the owners of realty
to submit to the chances ot the auction. It
was first suggested that the seller be al
lowed to fix a minimum price and to call
tor bids abovo bis ilgure. Obvious objec
tions presented themselves, and it was ncct
proposed that no rule be made on the sub
ject ot reserve bids, thus leaving it open
for the selling agent to hustle up -soma
friend to bid up to a figure that would in
some measure protect the owner. T,hla
was at first objected to on the ground that
It would bo "an invitation to bogis bids
and that the auctions would acquire an un
savory reputation.
The committee, however, soon concluded
.that I( would be Impracticable jo prevent
side bids by any rules .that might be agreed
,upon by the exchange at any rate wjille
.the sales wero In .the experimental stage,
Then .the proposition was made that tho
selling agent be allowed to openly buy 'n
tho property on jiebal.f of his client when
ever he wished. It was urged that If U
were known 'that the .agent had this right '
the owner need -never .fear serious .loss uti
the auction block, while at the same time1
tho public would be satisfied .that .the sales
were conducted In an .honest .way, irnd ,that
when property .was onco listed It .would ibe
.sold to tho highest -bidder.
It Is pointed out that .with rules on these
lines many owners will ,be willing to test
tho market at the cost ot a small (en, for.
tho reason that If thqy fall ,to make a salo
they will at least be able to secure a pub
lic appraisement ot their property, -which lu
some cases -will ibo ot great .value to -thorn.
This point, In iact, was one which bad
great weight with tho committee. The
rules wore drafted nml subsequently 'pre
sented to the exchange by John ,S. Knox,
chairman, in consultation with the two
other members ,pf the committee, .F. D.
Wcad and C. F. larrjeon. For a couplo ,of
weeks .every opportunity' was taken to dis
cover tho w.lshcs of other agents in .the
city and the riilos were adopted by the .ex
change Y'Uh only .two slight changes, which
vcre agreed to as soon (as they were sug
gested. T.ho value qt tho auctions as n .mtans of
obtaining .appraisals was discussed by
Mr. Knp yesterday. Ho referred to the
appraisal of a South Thirty-third .street lot
by tho members o'f tho exchange .last week.
About thirty ugonts ct flguron on the lot,
which indicated a .fir wit dlfforouco of
opinion on values. -"Very frequently," said
Mr. Knox, "a client writes for an opinion
us .to what his lot is worth. He
will bo lven .a figure and will perhaps .be
dissatisfied and seek anothpr agent's ad
vice. This is almost certain to differ from
the first flgpro and he' does not know .what
to do. There .have, perhaps, been no sales
recorded on adjoining .lots and there seems
to be no way of OBCortalning -what .tho value
Is. In micu n raso wo should advise our
client thit for a smsJ tco lie could Jlst his
lot for Balo by auotlon und, It tho bidding
did not come to 'his ideas as to what ho
would be witling to sell for we would bid
It In for him. Jhen .our client wou.ld knp,w
that t,he lot was worth at least as much as
the highest bid .pfte.rcd and, moreover, the
public would bo shown that ,tho owner was
not vUllpg to sell at ,that .figure. This
would Jn .every Ca,ao p.et a n(nlmum value
tp ,the property. Tho ojvncr, pf course,
wpuld also have ,Oie additional advantage
of a ppsslblo sale."
Iliier Who Get Left.
"The Bee's description of tho rental
'shoppers,' " .said a .real estate man, who
gives' much of his time to selling .homes
and building lots, "reminds me that there
( aro many so-called buyers around .who are
' of much .the some build.
"A woman who .bas been looking for a
houso that .would suit her taste .and her
pursp for three or .four years and has prob
utdy li'en to .every agent in town asked mo
the other day to show her a house on which
she had seen my sign, .1 drove her out and
Incidentally showed her another house. The
price was too high In each .ease, said she.
Next day she called again. She wanted to

M. L. Ware, Union Pacific engineer, at
tompted suicide yesterday afternoon In his
room lu the .Linton block. Thirteenth nnd
Mason streote.
Dressing himself In his best suit of black
clothes, taking particular caro to niljuat
a spotless white tie and otherwise arrange
an .elaborate toilet. Ware stretched out
upon his bed and sent a bullet crashing
Into his forehead.
That death was not instantaneous is n
miracle. Still more miraculous Is tho fact
that the Injured man was nblo after the
shooting to walk down two flights ot stnlrs
and out in the street to tho carriage which
conveyed him to tho Presbyterian hospi
tal. At the hospital Waro Is said to bo linger
ing between Ufa and death, with tho odds
against recover'.
With us much calmness ,ns would char
acterize his action iu mounting tho switch
engine on which be was for so many years
employed, Ware went about his solf-do-'dtructtou.
He removed his shoes before
reclining on tho bed aud otherwise showed
reniarkablo deliberation.
Uur to Drink.
Friends of Ware say that excessive drink
ing caused the act.
When tho woman who keeps tho board
ing house heard .tho report ot Ware's ro
volver sho hastily entered his room and
exclaimed: "What Is the matter?"
"I guess I've killed myself."
Thcro was not a tremor In his voice and
he didn't seem to caro for tho consequences.
Occupants of the houso called a doctor
and Wnro was hurrlodly removed to tho
Presbyterian hospital. W.hlle awaiting re
moval Waro talked rationally and directed
that his sister his only relative in this
city be .summoned.
On examination it was found that the
bullot had ponetrated the skull nnd, .being
defleoted downward, destroyed tho sight of
the ,left oye. There ,1b not one chance in
100 for his recovery, It Is said, but If by
sonio mlraclo lie should still bo alive at
9 o'clock this morjilng the hospital sur
geons will remove the sightless eye and nt
tempt to gVt tho bullet.
Well Knovrji Hnllrood Alan.
Waro has been in the employ of the
Union Pacific for twenty-flvo years as nn
engineer and wns well known among rail
road .men generally. He has been strongly
addicted to the. drink habit and It was
bis custom In recent years to go off on
periodical sprees and -while la that condi
tion It Is said that bo often threatened
to take his life. For tho last two weeks
ho had been drinking heavily and Jt Is be-
lloved that liquor had temporarily unbal
ouced his mind and caused him to attempt
his life. Ware Is a we.l!-educatc.d man, i7
years old and comes ,of a good .family.
No treatment tor colds and grip leaves
the systcan in as good and healthy a con
dition as .Chamherlaln's Cough Itemedy.
The greatest danger from these diseases Is
of their -resulting In pneumonia. During tbo
many years this remedy lias been In uie,
no case ot a cold or attack ot the grip hav
ing resulted In pneumonia, has ever been
reported to tho manufacturers, which thowa
conclusively that It Is a certain preventive
of that dangerous disease. For salo by ell
druggists.
