Ernest A. Emerson, a clerk in the em ploy of Hayward Brothers, shoe manu facturers, has disappeared from his home and place of business for the second time within a few months. He hss been missing since Thursday of this week, and up to this writing no trace of him has been found by either his family or the police, who have sent out notices of the disap pearance to other cities. One afternoon last spring Emerson walked out of the Hayward establishment and was lost to all who knew him as com pletely as If the earth had opened and swallowed him. His case promised to be come one of the unsolved mysteries of local police history, and even Emerson's family had almost despaired of ever hear ing from him. However, one day several weeks after his disappearance a telegram came from a small town In Icrwa saying that Emerson was there and would at once start for home. He had no recollec tion of how he came to be In The Iowa town, nor did he remember why or how he had left Omaha. Whether he walked or rode, or what he had been doing In the meantime. He had simply been as one dead to his own proper ego and had lived and moved as an entirely different man from the Ernest A. Emerson who had left a mourning family and bewild ered employers and friends In this city. He had worked, mixed with people ns a normal man, read the papers, collected wages, purchased all the things he needed for comfort und pleasure, and all the time without the slightest Inkling or conscious ness cf the true facts concerning hlms.lf. In no manner or form had he acted so us to give rise to any suspicion among his new acquaintances that he was or ever had been other than Just what he seemed as they met him In the daily round of life. Emerson's sudden lapse and as sud den return to consciousness of who he was and where he belonged was plausibly explained on the ground of overwork which had affected certain brain cells, producing a total lapse of memory as to anything he had done or anyone he had known previous to the moment when the two consciousnesses had switched place-s. $ After his return home Emerson fell right Into his old position and habits of life as naturally as if he had not be n away for an hour and had not lived another man's life and thought another man's thoughts for a substantial space of time. His dis appearance now for a second time is un doubtedly caused, as his family and em ployers think, by an unfortunate, even If unnoticed, combination of causes or cir cumstances similar to those which pro duced the first lapse of memory. He Is a middle-aged man of faithful disposi tion, who gives close attention to his work, has no vicious habits, no neurotic weaknesses of the kind that might very naturally be supposed to Induce such strange and irresponsible actions. In this case, as in many other exactly similar cases of record In various parts of the country, the most Inexplicable circum stance of any connected with It Is the fact that no one of all who know or meet the persons so afflicted can give any trace or any clue as to how they went away, or where, nor Is any suspicion raised in any mind that the newcomer to tho town where the walking piece of forgetfulnesi may land Is other than Just what he or she may seem. The old familiar everyday nature Is simply forgotten, sidetracked, for a longer or shorter space of time. Falling to locate the missing man by de scriptions and personal search, Emerson's family and friends must simply bide their time until tho ' suspended neurons again resume their sway and he once more be comes his old self. There Is this consola tion to be noted, that persons so afflicted rarely or never meet with accident, nor do they ever pass Into the other life with out regaining the cast-off consciousness that has governed them In their days of perfect health and normal existence. Uectnres of Catholics. A winter course of lectures by local talent, under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus and Creighton University alumni, will be Inaugurated at the univer sity hall, California and Twenty-fifth streets, next Wednesday evening.

Lasell. a cocaine fiend whose mind has been ruined, was lodged in the citv Jail last night as a vagrant. His pocket were the receptacles for all kinds of Junk from a prong of a lady's back con.b to the perforated top of a pork and henna can. Desk Sergeant Marshall's plilloophy accounted for the man's queer manl t on the theory that every piece of street refuse that had any sort of bright glitter was to him a niece of virtue to be trsasured ami fondled as a demented miser might fondle gold and Jewels. The police officer states ft as a fact, verified by his experience, that a man in lasell s condition will spend hours In playing with and examining such a picturesaue collection as that ihimne.l out at the station last night. Jnl'er Rinn, who religiously wrapped uo Lasell s effects, added the package to the already verv large collection of Junk at the Jail with the remark that a man who would be fullty of such foolishness In Ireland wr.ul 1 e mude to take the pledge forever and a aay. Bryant Wnnted Hi Pants. William Bryant, a negro, is in the citv .Inll charged with threatening to shoot hi boarding mistress, Delia Myers, a negress living at 12t9 Dodge. He Is employed bv the Harlier Asphalt company, and says he has been giving sll his money to the My ers woman, tie aid so last evening, ac cording to his story, and she then refused tn let him have $1.25 to get a pair of trousers out of a pawnshop, which refusal and the subsequent proceedings, 1 d to his arrest by Detectives H'eltfirld and Dona hue.

The Lang woman and her husband were taken to the station at the time of the robbery of the fur store in the Deilone hotel on suspicion that they knew some thing about the crime, but nothing could be proven and they were discharged. They left the hotel and later Mrs Iang took un quarters on Chicago Street, Lung afterward leaving the city. The Bnrllnacten'a Thnakaalvlna? Rates.

MONEY DISAPPEARS DURING THE NIGHT Benson Ended leaterday nnd Cash Had Been Collected to Pay Off the Employe Several Arreats Made. NORFOLK. Va., Nov. 20. While enroute on a flat car between Greenville and Tar bero, N. C, early Saturday morning, the ticket wagon of the Forepaugh & Sells Itron.' circus was entered and robbed of $30,010. Tho entrance to the wagon wa effected by the use of the regular keys, which had been stolen from tho treasurer of tho cir cus. The robbery was not discovered uniil after the entire circus, which was traveling in three sections on the Atlantic C ost Line, had reached Tarboro. The ticket wagon was on the second section and ar rived at Tarboro at 1 o'clock Saturday morning. The first section reached there a half hour earlier and the third at 3 o'clock In the morning. It was 6 o'clock before the robbery had been discovered and from that time until lato tonight, when the last report was re ceived In Norfolk by telephone, a continu ous search of the effects of tho people con nected with the circus had been In progress. The police are holding a man and woman, both performers, on suspicion of having committed the robbery. It has been Impos sible so far to secure the names of these two persona. Several theories are held by tho police and circus people. One of these Is that the rob bery was committed while the train was in motion and that the money was thrown off the train. Searching parties are at work along the line between Tarboro and Greenville In an effort to find any trace of the money or of any person who might have left the train with it. Vp to this time no one has been missed from the cir cus crowd. Another theory Is that the cash has been hidden In Tarboro by the robbers and In numerable search warrants have been sworn out. ArmedV with these the regular police and special detectives are search ing every place In Tarboro thought likely to conceal the money. Thero were a score of arrests made during the day among the circus people. All apprehended wore taken Into custody on suspicion and while In the town lockup their belongings were rearchod at the show grounds. Absolutely no trace of the money has been found.
