AT THE THEATER.
"Was She to Blame ? "
It was a small house that turned
out last night at the Auditorium to
BOO whether she wns to blame or not ,
but the majority of the handful pres
ent decided that it wasn't her fault
at all. The company putting on the
piece was much better than had been
anticipated by Norfolk theatergoers ,
and really had merit In many ways.
The role of Bruno Severn , the re
vengeful first husband of the woman
that the puzzle Is all about , was first
class as a villain and made your hair
stand on end. The story is thrilling
after the second act. The child-wife
is mistreated by her first husband
lands in England alone and marries
Lord Kurston , supposing Bruno to be
dead. He later turns up , hunting for
< the wife who ran away. She had
never told her second husband of her
first marriage and the resultant mix-
up is what she wasn't to blame for ,
after nil.

PREACHER WIFE-DESERTER.
Caught and Brought Back to Woman
at Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls , S. D , May 1. Now that
Rev. Charles A. Lyons , who created
a sensation by disappearing from
Sioux Falls last December , has been
arrested in St. Paul and brought back
to this city , ho wilJ discover that his
punishment for deceiving a young
woman of Sioux Falls will be swift
and sure. When taken before Judge
Walts the prisoner waived his prelim
inary hearing and was held for the
next term of state circuit court.
His arrest was due largely to the
personal efforts of the woman he had
deceived. When Lyons reached Sioux
Falls in custody of an ofllcer , Mrs.
Lyons and a friend were posted at
the depot where they could see with
out being seen , and she readily Identi
fied the prisoner as the man who had
deceived her.
Lyons first appeared In Sioux Falls
a year ago this month , and for a time
made his home with Rev. E. A. Orr ,
pastor of the local Christian church.
Lyons exhibited credentials which
were apparently all right and which
were satisfactory to the clergymen
of the city. For a time ho occupied
the pulpit of the Presbyterian church ,
and also of the Baptist church.
Last summer ho met Miss n'nim.x
Pervls. stenographer In the Sioux
Falls Savings bank , the leading finan
cial Institution of the city. Ho at
once commenced to pay court to the
young lady , and on Oatobor 5 , last ,
this culminated In their marriage.
They lived happily together and Mrs.
Lyons v.as nearly prostrated when on
December 22 her husband mysterious
ly disappeared.
It wns not until within the last few
weeks that she became satisfied that
she had been deserted and that the
villain In whom she had reposed the
utmost confidence' was still alive.
Then she determined to have Lyons
brought to justice , and opened a cor
respondence with every book bindery
In the country , Lyons being a book
binder by trade.

LINCOLN BUSINESS MEN ARETAK-
ING LESSONS.
AUCTION SALE OF REAL ESTATE
Following the Example of the Norfolk
Public Sale of Lots and Acres , the
Real Estate People of the Capital
City Intend to Buy.
[ From Monday's Dally. )
Taking lessons from Norfolk , Lin-
co'n business men are thinking over
the auction sale of city lots proposi
tion. The Evening News says :
The success attending the auction
sale of lots In Norfolk the other day ,
as told In The News , has sot the dealers -
ors In Lincoln dirt to talking about
the advisability of livening up the
homo market by something of the
kind bore. Lincoln has boon grow
ing pretty fast In recent years , but
much of the building has boon done
In the downtown district. Southeast
Lincoln and East Lincoln have not
been overlooked , however , and the
line of flno homes Is steadily advanc
ing In both directions.
The best Informed real estate men
say , however , that suburban proiorl | >
Is bound to come Into higher favor
very shortly for the reason that the
host silos In tin ! older sections have
boon utilized and the expansion will
uecf'HWirlly have to ronui in the
choicer suburbs. The building of
Hats downtown baa had two effects ,
It bus partly uu-t the demand for bet
tor living quarters but at the ; same
time It has made residences In tholr
neighborhood a little loss desirable.
Thp man with a flue or a good , com
fortable homo likes to have similar
structures aiound him , as they add
to the beauty and the value of his
own holdings.
There are half a do7.cn good-sized
tracts in the city that are not strict
ly suburban property because they
arc almost surrounded by residences.
In Rome Instances those have boon
tied up In estates and In other In
stances the owners have been content
to wait for the time when the demand
becomes more Imperative and they
can realize much bettor prices than
have been obtained. If ono or more
of these can bo secured for an auc
tion sale there Is little doubt but that'
they could be disposed of to advan
tage. Most of them are In those sec
tions most favored by homo builders ,
and they would Ond ready sale.
The auction sale Is not a now thing
In Lincoln. It was ono of the big fac
tors In the movement that made Lin
coln the flno city of homes that It
now Is , and while they wore a part
of the boom days they had nothing
to do with the Inflation of values of
those times. Besides things are dif
ferent now. Lincoln realty has a
known value , and no cornfield addi
tions could find ready sale. In Now
York , Chicago and In many lesser
cities the auction sale of lots has
been a big factor In developing at
tractive suburbs , and this fact makes
the Idea quite attractive to real es
tate men hero. It Is possible that
some formal action may be taken
shortly to give the movement form
and substance.
Norfolk's Big Day.
Monday , May IG , the Campbell
Hros , are coming and It will be Nor
folk's big day , a day that will long bo
remembered.
The shows come this season In all
their entirety and splendor , giving the

that they have given In the big east
ern cities. The Campbell Bros , shows
have been the acknowledged lending
aronlc Institution of American for
years but this season's offerings sur
pass anything over attempted by them
or any other showmen. They present
this year features that have hereto
fore never been soon under circus
tents. Acts that have been consld
erod impossible to bo given under
canvas , but they do It and do ! t every
dny. This la an ago of progress , the
people want something now , and In
accordance with the spirit of the
times Campbell Bros , are keeping up
with the largest , finest , and most
complete shows that have over vis
ited this vicinity.
