The mynterjr concern I rig the drath of D'Abbadle Arrant la likely to remain un solved, although the potion hare bern doins; tvarything men can do to- run down the aMualna who slsw him. More la not known of the circumstances In which he waa laat Been.

The victim had left Evreux In the morning with the Intention of staying only a few hours here. Jlla movements were known up to the very mo ment almost of his disappearance. After that complete mystery prevails, as In the case of the famous Stelnhell affair. Movements All Opea, The sadden vanishing of such a well known personage has aroused no end of speculation, but all the Indications as at present known, point to a' strange crime. lTArrast called on his solicitor, Maltre Tollu, after he reached this city. They chatted about various things, and among others a will case In which 'D'Arrast was Interested. At noon he went to lunch. In the afternoon ha called at his printers, and then returned to a cafe, where he had an appointment with a friend who was unable ; to meet him. ! After dinner he paid a surprise visit to I his cousin, Maltre Zoegger. Then, taking ! out his watch suddenly, he exclaimed that he had been staying longer than he had Intended, and that he would have to catch Ms train. An hour later two concierges found his coat and hkt on the footbridge hardly more than a stone's-throw from Maltre Zoegger'a home. The only supposi tion that can be made Is that he was at tacked and murdered immediately on leav ing his cousin's house. , Indecency o"n the taae. .' A well known Englishman who spent several weeks here writes: - "It Is the height of discourtesy for a French theater to permit things upon the stage which must I shock a large proportion of the audience. Not long ago I went, for the second time, to a music hall . here which Is visited by hundreds of English people every evening. In the middle of the show was a hopelessly Indecent and ugly exhibi tion. French people in the audience were disgusted at It. The manager's only ex cuse for It was that the show hau been running a long time, and the thing that 1 objected to had been put In. to brighten it up and that he had not seen the change In the program himself." : Detective Not a Vldocq. A strange story Is told of a detective who waa guided about In a foreign country by an alleged murderer whom he was sent to arrest. A man named Valest la. accused of hiving shot the director of an asylum at Alx, last September. He fled to Boenos Ayree, and the police, . having traced him, ent a detective to secure bis arrest. As the fugitive was a Corslcan, the detective at once sought out some Corslcans on his arrival in Buenos Ayres to help him in his aearch. He found one man who waa ex ceedingly complacent, and who for days piloted him about the city In quest of the fugitive from Justloe. Suddenly this amia ble guide disappeared, and the detective greatly regretted-his. loss. He will prob ably regret It - more now,' when' he learns that his guide was .the very man-that he wanted. In a letter written. by Valest from Buenos Ayres to someone here and Inter cepted by the police, he relates with great delight how he led the detective about In aearch of himself. But fearing that sooner or later he might be detected, he thought It safer to vanish. , Fall- ( a French Belfry. I A famous old belfry from which the bells rang out for the wedding between Henry V of England and Catherine, daughter of Charles VI of France, has Just fallen In Troyes. The belfry, which waa built In the thirteenth century, formed part of the church of St. Jean. It has been unsafe for some time, and Its fall waa expected! A thousand persons witnessed the accident, which happened at 4 o'clock In the morn ing. It toppled over and fell with a crash on a house opposite. Brother Murders Sister.

She went to him and spent the night there. Early the next morning she was seen at her bedroom window screamthg for help. while her brother waa attacking- her sav agely, with an ajse. When the house was entered Mils. Lhermltte waa dead. The brother declared that, being destitute, he had asked his sister to die with him and that she had refused, so he had killed her.

The German lady, who speaks Turkish, entered the women's com partment of a Stamboul car and fell Into conversation with the three black veiled figures It already contained.

"The Road to Yesterday" was one of the greatest Broadway successes of re cent seasons and has only been seen In Omaha at a high scale of prices. The en tire action of th play hinges on a mystic, strange happening that takes place on a midsummer eve. Elspeth Tyrell, a young American lady who is visiting friends in London, after an exciting day of sight seeing, falls asleep In an artist's studio and 'Wishes that she lived 800 years ago in the Elizabethan period. England, when men were braver, women fairer and life was full of romance.

For a quarter of an hour she rode with' arms well stretched out straight in ffont of her. Then the veiled Turkish jady alighted, recom mending a continuance of the treatment.

Two ladles were driving home from ten nis along a obuntry road when they were held up by a native, who attempted to mo lest them. The Indies defended themselves and the native bolted. Indignation meetings were afterwards held In this district. The culprit waa ar rested and 160 armed mounted farmers as sembled outside Bergvllle at midnight and demanded the surrender of the prisoner. The police, being forewarned, had removed the prisoner to Ladysmlth.
