John nml Albert Willis "
, two "log-
fishers"HvlnK on the bottoms , while
passing on the river bank opposite Boyd's
packing house , about 8 yesterday morn *
ing witnessed n sight which they never
will forgot , as long ns they live. Stretched
out in the loamy sand , his bloodspatterud
features cold in death , was the body of a
man , apparently about ! )0 ) or ! t5 years of
nge , with throat cut from car to car. The
first thought of the two discoverers was
that the man hint been murdered and
they nt once hastened to Hoyd's packing
liotise and sent in si call for the coroner.
Jlr. Drcxel hurried to the seeno
and Impanelling n jury , proceeded with
tint inquest.
There nro no facts at hand lo show the
cvnct manner in which the unfortunate
man mot his death. The presumption ,
however , is very strong thalthu case was
olio of suicide. The body was found near
tlic river hank , as already stated , and had
evidently rolled down u short incline
from about twenty feet nearer the pack
ing house. On this snot , Mr. Drc.xcl
thinks , the fellow sat when he drew the
raxor across his throat , and then falling
back in the agony of death , rolled down
the easy embankment until the water's
edge was reached. Tne raxor , of course ,
was found nt the top of the bank where
the man is supposed lo have committed
the deed. The peculiar manner of the
cuts on either side of the throat are Mich
as to indicate that the man died by his
own hands , as they arc slanting incisions
instead of straight across , as would have
resulted had the deed been done by
another.
Several papers were found on the per
son of the victim which would indicate
that Ills name was A. J. Anderson and
( lint ho had come from Minnesota. One
was a naturalisation certificate which ho
had just taken out in Carvier county ,
Minnesota , while still another was a rail
road ticket to Scandjhi , Republic county ,
Kansas. A letter was nlso found ad
dressed to Miss Annie Anderson , 10 ! )
Fourth street , Minneapolis , from which
it is to bo presumed that lie has relatives
living in tiiat city. Another letter was ad
dressed to Miss Jennie Lorelt2r ! > First nve ,
boiilli , Minneapolis , Still smother letter ,
written by the man himself in the Swed
ish language , was addressed to A. P. As-
pigren , Seanjia , Kansas. In it the writer
says tiiat ho will leave on March 2 ! )
for Suandjhi. and expects to ar
rive there April 2. No _ other papers
which would throw any light upon the
case were found upon the pert-on of the
dead man. lie was evidently a workingman -
man , and as already intimated , probably
about 1)5 ) years of ago. Jlo was dressed
in a suit of darl ; jeans with : i heav pea
jacket overcoat.
The jury impannelcd after carefully
Investigating the ease and a'.I surround
ing circumstances , returned a verdict to
the cll'cct that the deceased had come to
his death from wounds inflicted by his
own hand. Coroner Urcxcl has written
to the several persons whoso addresses
were found on the person of the dead
man. For a day or so the body will be
held , awaiting the orders of friends of
the supposed Miicido.

How the Antutc Io\vn Saloonkeepers
Kviulo the liquor Imxv.
"Yes , " said a prominent saloonkeeper
from Iowa in the Arcade yesterday ,
"Hie boys are having lots of fun on Iho
other side of the river. lam running two
largo saloons in well , the name of the
town doesn't matter and it's pretty
sharp work some limes. The saloon men
tlon't mind the tines very much because
they can atl'ord lo pay -5100 once in a
while if business is good. They've got n
new gag over there now , though , which
is playing Iho very deneo. They go lo
work and got out injunctions lo proven
men from selling liquor. The courts will
readily grant the injunctions , and if a
man who is thus enjoined persists in his
tali ) lie renders himself liable to a line of
1.000.
"How do you manage to keep up the
trade ? " asked a bystander.
"Oh , " replied tlic saloon-keeper , with
a sly wink , "we can bo just ns sharp as
the ollicors if they drive us to it. A funny
snap happened to mo a while ago ,
I though , " ho continued. "I had my In-er
c htorutl in a place about two blocks' away
* from my saloon , and drew it tnroiigli
c long rubber tubes. Thu tubes wore con
11 nected with faucets and were worked by
a spring concealed tinder the edge
of the counter. The spring was
1o imbedded in thu wood work , and
1V
V could only bo reached by inserting the
bludu of n knife. When the spring was
11a not touched Ihe faucets were connected
11a with a water lank and nothing but. pure
a water would How from them. Touch the
\ \ spring , however , nnd the beer tubes
ii would bo connected anil you could get n

ti well that 1 was selling bcur but couldn't

E.1 drop of intoxicating liquor in the
house which they could possibly Und.
One of the men , however , walked be
Jr hind the bar , touched the soring with his
knife blade , and let : i whole keg of buur
run out. It cost mo just $100.
"Do you know how they make a
search ? " His auditors shook their heads ,
U and ho continued : "Well , they come
into a saloon live or MY strong. One
man jumps over the bar and grabs Urn
bartender , who is told ( o hold up his
hands. If ho don't comply at once , out
conies a gun , and he's made to nut up

Lucy Mercer Tnkcu In Charge by the
Lucy Mercer is the girl mentioned In
Thursday's HEU , who , ns alleged was
enticed from her home in Council Hluft's
to enter a house of ill-famo on Twelfth
street. She has been taken by Ollicor
James of the Law and Order league lo
Ins house , pending a further investiga
tion of the case. She cries bitlerJy all
the lime , and asks lo bo allowed lo go
homo lo her parents.
Ofliccr James , who is to bo credited for
u great deal of conscientious labor in
working up the case , Is of the opinion
that the girl was pure before she fell in
with Mrs. Frank , and that her down-fall
was caused by that woman. On the other
hand there are Ihoso who think d i lie rent-
cntly that Iho young woman's charac-
lor has buen anything but. good for
montiis past , and tiiat sfio knew that she
wni lo enter n house of ill-fame when she
came to Omaha. Mrs. Frank , in telling
her .story to Hie ollieer qf the league said
that the story about learning thu dress
making trail o was concocted between
herself and thu girl , Lucy , for the
purpose of deceiving the parents.
One pathetic feature of tiie case is that
Lucy's father and mother do not yet
know of the downfall of their daughter.
They know that she is still in Omaha and
have a vague idea that she is in &omo
sort of trouble , though of what kind they
do not realize. Mr. James received n lot-
lor from a married sisler of Lucy to-day ,
In which thu former implores him to res
cue the girl from a life of shame and re
turn her to her home. "ForGotl'ssakol"
the loiter reads , "do not let my mother
know whoru Lucy has been. It would
drive her crazy. "
Mr. James was asked yesterday
whether lie intended to proscenia Mrs.
Frank. He replied , "Most assuredly ,
yes. I shall prosecute her to the farthest
possible limit. "

PROSPECTS FOR THE SUMMER.
Pertinent Itcnmrks or Dealers A
-Hcsnmeof the Imst l-'cwDnys
The Lack of Brick
In Oinnha.
Condition of the Trade.
Owing to the muddy state of the streets ,
ami atmospheric changes , there has
been , for the last few days , somewhat of
a standstill in real estate transfers , al
though negotialions have been going on
lo a goodly oxlent. As will easily bo
seen , no one , whether seeking homes or
speculation , would wish to bravo the
elements in looking for locations ; and
neither are the real estate agents anx
ious to show properly , as land covered
with snow , mud or diininunltlve streams
of water is not pleasant to look at or
travel over. Ana again , Mieh a state of
aflairs is not e.\peeted lo last much
longer , and for that reason , agents re
quest investors to awail a more pleas
ant opportunity. Notwithstanding
this bait feature , Hie market is
not lowering any and quilo
a number of important sales were made
during the ten days just passed. One firm
has $15,000 for inside properly paid to
them , bill negotiations have not been as
yet quite satitaelorily ended , although ex
pectations are that they will .soon be. To
show the feeling , in a measure , one real
estate agent was this week otlered $30-
000 cash for a lot UIKKW on Farnam
street , and he did not immediately close
the bargain , but the oiler was held in abey
ance for a short time. The hoayiest bona
lido sale reported is $ lr ! ) > 00 for a lot on
Harney street. The great railroad strikes
have also been felt , although rather
slightly. There has , been a sort of hope-
it-wont feeling that this trouble would
extend to this city for some time past.
causing real estate buyers , and
especially those intending to build ,
to bo quite wary , but now that
this catastrophe is averted , the
situation will , it is hoped , change. Tliero
has j been , and probably will bo , no
"boom" in this market , although a bright
outlook has opi'ned up for the summer.
One thing dealers should guard against
is the inflation of prices. Heal estate in
this city and surroundings is now snlH-
cicnlly nigh , and it is apprehended by
several dealers that a raise will surely bo
followed by a di--astrious reaction.
Eastern people are beginning to think
that Omaha is destined to become one of
the leading cities of the west , and that
her population will be greatly increased
in the next few years , and owners of city
and surrounding laud daily receive letters
iroru them as regards locality , price , the
chances for both wholesale and retail
ventures , etc. Thc-o are the people who
help to build up a new city.
OOno tiling that seems to bo nccessary ,
according to the several land agents
here , is more brick j-ards. A lir. ! : re
porter was told yesterday afternoon , for
a fact , that a gentleman bought some
Crpperly near the center of town , and
rick enough to erect quite a large house ,
four year ? iigo. The next spring ho sold
those brick for one-tliird more than he
had paid in the jirst place , and has done
that each year since , to people who abso
lutely could not get brick with which to
build. A few more brick kilns would be
a good tiling for everyone concerned.
A reporter interviewed quite a number
of real estate agents yesterday afternoon ,
and the following is the gist of their re
marks :
G. W. Ames : "Trade has been rather
dull , owing to Iho weather and railroad
strikes , but prospects arc good , ami I
think the business will bo belter this sum
mer than ever before. "
T. C. Hrunner , of Morse & Brunner :
"Many trades too close , and negotialions
quite brisk. Outlook for the summer
good , decidedly so , I believe. "
, C. E. Mayno : "Tho.weather , lately , has
been against very good sales , although
negotiations have kept ns busy. Indica
tc tions t for the summer trade arc , in my
opinion , much better than ever before ,
and Omaha's real estate business will be
simply phenomenal. One thing I now
notice about purchasers is that many
people who have heretofore been paying
rent have now made up their minds to
buy property and establish homes , on
the installment plan , and imt compara
tively few speculators are investing in
real estate at present. We are helping
the real estale business along by publish
ing a ten-page paper inscriptive of Ne
braska , its climate , resources , etc. , not
confining ourselves to any special locality ,
and destributing 10,000 copies gratui
tously throughout the east.
A. II , Saner , of Itedford & Sauer :
"Hiisiuess has been quiet , but now that
the strike is oil' and weather clearing up ,
it will bo bettor. The prospects are ex
cellent for a big Irade this summer , only
Iho real eslato must not be held at too
high figure. "
William T. McCandlish , of Hell & Me-
Candlish : "We are not going to Irive a
boom this summer , but a real steady
business , a healthy one. However , if
Ihcso slrikcs continue , we shall become
demoralised , as it woro. liuyera will
have no faith in our future. I tell you ,
the strikers are doing much moro barm
than good. "
The above will show the feeling of
dealers , and gives some really commend
able pointers to people intending to
locate in Omaha. Some dealers seemed
to think the strikes are damaging all
trades , and real estate in particular.
while others do not see any material
oll'ect.

Another Kidnapper.
Maislml Cummings yesterday received
a telegram from Adam Hufiu-r , marshal
of DCS .Moineg Iowa , asking that the ar
rest of one Win. Eulor , for kidnapping a
fix e-year-old daughter of Jacob Ilremlle ,
of that place , he made. Killer has an
other young girl , only cloven years of
ago , with him also. A sharp look-out was
kept up at the depot , but the man was not
seen.
