Ihn-N , the Iinplemrnt man who shot himself Wednesday night , died at 4fiO : o'clock yesterday morning In the private olllco on Pearl street , where ho had Iwon lying over since the fat-il shot was tired. Never once did he regain consciousness from the time be was found by K. W. Jones lylmr on the lloor back of his dusk with the pistol by his side. Oneo or twice he opened his eyes when ho was moved and once In a while his right hand or foot would twitch , but his left side was completely paralyzed , and every motion he made served by Its imnnor only to emphasl/e the fact that he had not the slightest consciousness of what was folng on about him. II. .1. Meadc and 13.V. . Jones were present at the time of do.ilh. as they were the first also to view the body after the shooting. The coroner was at once notified and It was decided to hold n | x > st mortem. The ball was found lolgo'l at the ttppar left side of the head , against thu back of the skull. When removed it was found to have been llattcncd out until It was over half an Inch in diameter , the part which had been In serted In th > ' ahell prescrvhr , ' its shape for about an eighth of an inch , so that \\hen it was put Into the shell it was found to lit perfectly. The ball was weighed in delicate balances and found to bo three grains lighter than another ball which was removed from a shell In the box which w.is found in Harris'desk , but tills , so Coroner Seybert said , very likely resulted from I ho ball los ing a part of its substance while passing through the tissuea. ItcMilt of the Coroner * . * Inijupst. All Inquest was held at4 o'clock. The coroner selected two pjliceinon and a news paper man asjur.Mncn , and proceeded to take the evidence of a part of those who were supposed to bo familiar with thp cir cumstances. None of thu olllcers who worked upon the case were called 11)1011 ) to testify. Dr. J. M. Barstow , 13. W. .lone ! , , F. J. Duerr and II. J. Meade were the only ones who were sworn , and there were no develop ments from their stories beyond what has already been published. It had been hoped that on the inquest'some light would be ob tained as to the cause of the rash act , hut those who bad hoped wen ; disappointed. After the witnesses had all been examined ilie jury retired and a few minutes later re turned a verdict stating that 10. C. Harris came to his death from a pistol shot IIred by nis own hand. There Is one thiin ; in connection with the last days of Mr. Harris which the police have not yet learned , but which might fur nish a slight clew to the mystery surround ing the case. Last Tuesday ho drew -JTiOO in cash from his private funds on deposit In the Council BlutTs Savings bank and went to Omaha. What he did while there has not been learned , but when his pockets wore searched the next night after the shooting they contained only -15 cents in change. What became of tin ; money is a fruitful theme , but so far the only answer put for ward is that , given by the street cornel- gossips , who invariably bring the mysterious woman in Omaha into the case. The remains were sent east last evening In charge of Mr. F. J. Uucrr , in accordance with a request sent by the relatives of the dead man. C. M. Uussell , the secretary of the firm of Uussell it Co. , will meet them at Chioa'-'o. whence they will bo taken to Massillon fur burial. Last evening about 9 o'clock a lady called at the American District Telegraph oflleo and asked for a police oiilcer , s.iying she was a sister of Harris. She was taken to the ( it-ami hotel and a telephone message was sent to police headquarters asking that an oiilcer ho sent to see her. as she had some thing Important to say. Oiilcer Weir went to the hotel , but before ho arrived she had left for Omaha. She is expected back this morning , and some interesting i information mation is hoped for.

Homer , who keeps a grocery store on Broadway a few doors below Scott street , had an encounter with the employes of the motor company on Thursday and came out at the top of tjio heap. TlPo company got out Us snow plow and ran It up and down Broad way , throwing great heaps of snow out at the side of the tracks , completely Illling the driveways , just as they did about six weeks ago , before Mayor Lawrence issued his ivrrter to the property owners to clean up the gut ters. Mr. Homer's share of the street was tilled along with the rest , but immediately after the snow plow had gone past ho KQt a shovel and went to work heroically to throw all the snow back on thu tracks. After hu had succeeded in making a pile several feet high the plow eamo back. The men started to remove the obstruction , but Homer or dered them to stop , threatening to have them arrested if thoj blocked the street In front of his place. Some sort of an agree ment was finally reached by which the trains were enabled to run past the store. Ignorance of the merits ot Do Witt's Llttlo Karly Uiscrs Is a misfortune.

" "Krmlnle , " the ever-popular , opened Pauline ino Hall's all too short seasonal the Bo.vd last evening , and as a whole it was admira bly rendered throughout. Miss Hall's com pany is a strong one musically and histrion ically and presents a performance eminently pleasing and praiseworthy. Miss Hall Is better , if possible , than ever. Her voice last night evidenced a freshness that some how or other seemed absent on her last visit to Omaha , while her manner was as brightly vivacious and chic as ever It was. Her dainty rendering of "When Love Was Young , " in the llrst act captivated her audience , while the tender sweetness that suffused her singing of the Lullaby song In the second act com -lied a double eni'ore , which she graciously responded to. But throughout thu per formance she was Pauline Hall at her best , and than that nothing could be much better. A special word of praise is earned by MLss Katie ( illbert as .lavolte : she speaks her lines with point , adequately bears her part in the concerted music in which Javolte is heard , and her rendering of "A Simple Maid" in the second act is wholly satisfactory. Miss Helen Dunbar is also spen and heard to advantage as Cerise , while Miss Kvi Daven port niaices all possible out of the Princess. The principal male roles are well nlled. Mr. Harry McDonough's Uavannes is dis tinguished in bearing , speech and vocali/a- tlon. Mr. John Brand's Marquis is well ijnown to Omaha theatergoers and much ap- [ ireci'ited. Mr. Jacques Kruger is artistic mil effective as the antique Chevalier , and Mr. Miller is musically siiftlclent as lOugene. Mr. Frank D.ivid is the C'adeaux , and while Ills comedy trc.uls on extravatranco and his whole idea of the part somewhat out of con sonance with that of the author , himself most admirable of low comedians , ho never falls to evoke the laughter ho plays for. The chorus is particularly strong and effective , especially the female voices. The orchestra is at homo In its work under the baton of thu renowned Sig. TomasI , whoso beat is as definite as it is vigorous. Thu costuming is rich in the extreme , the scenery is appro priate , and , all In all , an almost ideal per formance -'Kniiinio' ' Is that given by Miss Hall and her company. I'roC.

The com mittee on harmoni/.Ing rules not being pres ent It was decided to leave the matter to the convention. The secretary read letters from various points relative to topics for discussion at the convention. The question which is most likely to eauso debate , and perhaps dispute , is that of clothing the National lOxchangc with power to adopt rules for the govern ment of the several local exchanges. The report of tbe executive committee from the time it was created in December , 1SVJ , to the present was read and adopted. The report of the treasurer , L. M.

President Thompson reminded the dele gates that as their time was limited and that many important questions would c me before the meeting lor discussion , he hoped all \\ould talk to the point and quit when they get through.

The minutes of previous meetings were read and were very voluminous , detailing all action from tlio appointing of the llrst committee which called a conference of ox- changes' lor the purpose of organl/.ing a Na tional lOxchunge down to the present time. The report of the executive committee fol lowed , as authoriml above , ami was adopted.

Dill-Ill ) ; the In At the evening session , held in the Paxton cafe , there was an attendance of sixty-six delegates. In opening the meeting Presi dent Thompson read the Invitation of the South i Omaha lOxchange for all delegates to remal n iiithe city and atlend the reception to be given the visitors by the Mairic 1'itv stockmen tonight. lOach delegation , through its chairman , declared its intention to al tend. Colonel Savage , chairmanof thecommittce on rules , reported progress and asked for further time. It was granted. A resolution to the end that the National Live Stock exchange bo given suinvme power over all local exchaiiu'es was offered by 1) . S. Parker of Omaha , and a lcngth.\ dlsussion of the subject followed. "The object of this resolution , " said Mr Parker , "is to put the National exebanuc on the same footing as all other organiza tions of the nature and in order that we shall have a head that the local exchanges ma.go to in order to settle differences. 1 can't see how we can accomplish an.\ thing without clothing the National exchange wltli the authority of a court , beyond which there will bo no appeal. In such a cas- the ex change could make rules for all local ex changes and then all difficulties cuiild bo settled by arbitration or a trial before the court , thus saving legal costs and delays. " Some of the delegates thought that more benefit could be derived by holding harmoni ous sessions and talking matters aver than by granting tlio power requested by the resolution. After a long discussion the question was laid on the table , as it will como up again when the committee on inles makes its reixirt. Harmony of Hules" was the next topic for discussion. Very few members ex pressed themselves on the subject , as all seemed to understand that harmony was a n 'cessity. A further discussion of this ques tion will come up later. Civil Servk-o Taf ' < 11 Turn. ITp to this tlmo the delegates had worked in concord , but a lire brand was thrown into the camp by Mr. Cooper of Kansas City when he inlroduced a resolution regarding the appointment of government inspectors. Mr. Cooper , in his resolution , suggested that all inspectors of the llvo stock quarantine service bo appointed under the civil servieo law , and that appointments nude on account of political Influence be discontinued , "Wo want. " said Mr. Cooper , "to take the appointment of sanitary inspectors out of the spoils system and have it placed on the civil service basis. I offer this resolution , because in many cases we have very poor servicj by the men holding positions under political patronage. To my own knowledge 1 have seen men given these important posi tions to pay the political debt of some con gressman , and I think it is wrong. If wo gcta good quarantine Inspector ho should be kept m oflice , and every one of them should bo compelled to pass the regular civil service examination and appointments made on the scale of elliciency. " The democrats thought that the resolution was intended to prevent the appointment of new men when the next administration came into power and with ono accord they proclaimed , "To the victors belong the spoils , " and they added , "wo intend to got thorn , too. " A discussion lasting nearly an hour fol lowed. Dually a motion lo table the resolu tion was lost and later on when another vote was taken the resolution was passed almost unanimously as Mr. Cooper had explained that politics had not inllucnccd him In the drafting of the resolution and that ho was only guarding the cattlemen's interests. The liability of commission men in the sale ef stock was the next question brought up for discussion. Most of the delegates thought that some laws ought to bo passed lo protect the commission men should they by misrepresentation sell stolen or mortgaged stock. After a short talk on , this subject the meeting adjourned to meet at 10 a. m. today at the South Omaha lOxuhange. { THOMAS I1 SIMl'S ) X Wnnhlllk'to n l > .

Think of It ! The brain shrinks , tbe tissues waste , the thinking JWWIT becomes less , all by reason of over-exertion , disease , or dissi pation. How many men and women to-day arc shrinking , wasting , ruining their brains , and thus shortening their lives.
