THE OMAHA DAILY 'BEE: SUNDAY, MAItCII 22, 1003. J A BULLET TIIROUCn HIS HEART 8. B. Mumatigh Endi EU Lifer at Room in the Thuntoa Hotel LEAVES MESSAGE IN WORDS OF BIBLE gnlrlde nnposed to Be Resalt of IlripondriKT Orrr Inability to He core Steady and Satisfac tory Employment. "For the wages of Bin ! death; but the gift of God la eternal life through Jesua Christ our Lord." Marhed by two matches, laid parallel with the lines, the above verse In a bible opened to Romans, vl 23, which was found upon a stand In his room In the Thurston hotel, was the only message which S. R. Mumaugh left as regarding his suicide, which oc curred about ten minutes before 12 o'clock yesterday. Death was caused by Mumnugb shooting himself in the left breast, directly over the heart, with a large revolver. About fifteen minutes before 12 o'clock Mumaugh left his room and went down !o the office of the hotel, where he met sev eral friends cordially. Later he went o the bar and took a drink. After speaking to R. M. Wright, the manager of the hotel, lie returned to hla room. A moment later revolver report rang through the cor ridors. When occupants of the , adlolnlng rooms rushed to Mumnugh's apartment they found the door locked. Suspicions of sui cide arose and the police department was Immediately notified. Weapon la Dead Man's Hand. Sergeants Whelaa and Gibbons responded. When the officers entered the room It whs Blled with smoke from the fatal shot. Lying upon the bed, clad only in his night gar ment, Mumaugh was dead. A wound di rectly over the heart showed the cause of his death, while the weapon was still grasped In the dead man's right hand. The left shoulder of the night robe had been removed that the revolver might be placed directly over the beating heart. The bullet passed through Mumaugh'a body, and the bed, being picked up on the floor by Ser geant Whelan. Mumaugh, who was about 35 years ef age, bad been despondent for the past few weeks, owing to his failure to secure steady employment, though he had been working at Charles A. Tracy's cigar store, on Doug las street, relieving the day clerk. Trie to Borrow Revolver. He had made several requests for the loan of a revolver, or a razor from his friends, but none would grant his re quest. In Tracy's cigar atore he secured the gun with which he ended his life. He waa formerly connected with the city engineer's department, having been employed there for several years. Coroner Bralley has taken charge of tha remains and thinks that In all probability an Inqueat will be held Monday. A queer coincidence In connection with Mumaugh's death la the assertion of Walter Henry, who waa arrested while delirious. that a suicide had been, or would be, com mitted In the Thurston hotel. He so in formed Judge Berka when he was arraigned before that magistrate yesterday. Within two hours after he bad made the statement Mumaugh has accomplished hla self destruc tlon. Mrs. Francis Mumaugh, an artist In the Paxton block, Is a alster-ln-law of the de ceased. William P.' Mumaugh, the con tractor, whose place of business Is 1117 South Thirty-second street, Is a brother Another brother lives somewhere In the west, but cannot be located at present. A sister of the suicide, Mrs. Will Hlnes, lives In Chicago, but 'her Immediate address could npt be learned. .W. P. Mumaugh la at present out of the city and efforts are being made to communicate with him by telegraph. GREATER DEMAND FOR MONEY Omaha Baaka ot Likely to Keep t to New York Bates of laterest. The money market in Omaha experienced a revival In demand for money for com mercial use this week on account nf thi marked advanre of ratea In New York, but ! It Is not believed that the firmer rates thus created will be maintained for any length of time. Money Is now coming ln;o the city banks from the banks of the Interior of the state and the next etatement Is ex pected to show a much larger volume of deposits than the lsst one. The last state ment, published In February, showed much smaller deposits generally than for the pre vious February , but the causes which pro duced that result are expected to bring about a comparatively Inner deDoalt In April, at which time a call for another statement may be expected. The soft corn barveated last fall caused farmers to feed more cattle than usual and the money which usually comes from the sale of corn did not arrive, as it required onger time to sell the cattle. These cattle are now being placed on the market and the money, with possibly higher profits, Is com-. ng to the banks In the Interior of the state and In turn being acnt to the banka of Omaha. These deposits since February have Increased approximately $2,500,000. On the other hand, the loans snd dis counts of the banka have not Increased In proportion and were It not for the condition of the eastern money market a slightly lower rate for demand loans on good se curity might be expected. This Is, how ever, equalised by the Increased demand for money on the part of a number of western Institutions which are ordinarily supplied In the east, but which have been tempora rily driven from that market by the high ratea. f! TO KEEP ELKHORN IN LINE River Threateaa to Leave Channel and Cat Acroaa Valaa ble Farna.

Thomas J. Kelly,- musical director and orcaulat at tha First Methodist Eplscupal church, has submitted a tentative resigna tion to C. F. Weller, chairman of the music committee and a member of the board ct trustees. Mr. Kelly said he was willing to continue in charge of the largest and best known musical department of any church In the city provided that Janitor Innes was dismissed from service. The board of trustees demurred at this and Insisted upoD giving the Janitor a hearing, while the musical director held out for Instant ac tion. Finding that thla course waa not to be followed Mr. Kelly tendered hla resig nation and Mr. Weller thereupon resigued from tba board of trustees. . Behind tbe differences between Musical Director Kelly and Janitor Innea Is a deoper significance marked in tbe divergence of the ldeaa of the congregation aa to what extent and acope the musical department should be carried. What la aaid to be a minority has for aome time complained of what waa termed a "preponderance of muric." This feeling haa exhibited Itself at various tlmea, and according to common report has been focused In the janitor, who la an aged and very religious Scotchman. Without design between tbe musical and non-muslcally Inclined factlona the differ ences seem to have unconsciously arrayed Musical Director Kelly and Janitor Innea on the firing line. According to Mr. Kelly the present crisis Is to be a test of the music question In the church. Friday evening when the choir had gathered for rehearsal he atated the case plainly and told the members that rather than aubmlt to what he considered Insults and inefficiency on tbe part of the Janitor, backed up by the members of tbe congregation who favored leaa ceremonir-is and less expensive music, he would re sign. He then dismissed the choir, a atlng that he would not conduct the services as usual Sunday. The announcement came as a aurprtse to most of the choristers, who dispersed without any attempt at rehearsal and with many expressions of regret over the course affairs had taken. Mr. Kelly saya the inattention and neglect on the part of the Janitor have been pro nounced and by no meana uncertain, and that he haa refused or occasion to do certain work required of him for the benefit of tbe choir, in what the director has con sidered an insulting manner. "Whether I remain or sot," saya Mr- Kelly, "depends upon what action tha board of trustees sees fit to take with the janitor. 1 shall insist upon his dismissal. If that is done, It will be a victory for tho lovers of high class church music and will settle tbe dispute which haa been car ried along for some time concerning tha music. Tomorrow the church will have an opportunity to Judge for Itself how It likes the absence of the regular chplr. If the change Is satisfactory, well and good. In any event, the exact sentiment of tha church will be crystallized." THREE TOURNAMENTS TO COME Marksmen Will Find Sport at St. Joseph, Grand Island and Geneva. Omaha trap shooters are beginning to rcake atrangementa to attend the tourna ment of the Missouri Fish and Game Pro tective association at St. Joseph, Mo., April 7-11.

Tbe frequency with which tha name of Pearl tbe Fa I Girl la get. ting into court and out of court and into court again suggests the thought that soon she will need no press agent. A short time ago her father, Joseph M. Ram bo of Council Bluffs, began suit In dis trict court to collect $110 from I. W. Miner and William F. Gerke for rent of the girl, a per contract, calling for a weekly remit, tance cf $25 from them .while they should be using her for exhibition purposes. A week ago the plaintiff's attorneys, Capell Prtchard, dismissed tha lult without preju. dice, but only in order to atart it again la county court, where action on it could be obtained the sooner. The petition reap, peared yesterday, but in the lower court and with $165 aa the amount due. Rambo Is bald to have started a aubscrip. tlon list In Council Bluffs to raise money with which to search for his daughter an! to have been dissuaded from this course by Miner's brother Elks, who promised to look into tbe matter and aet Mr. Rambo's fears at rest. Kambo Insists that he doesn't know where the girl Is and that Miner baa written him that he doesn't know either, because someone haa kidnaped her.
