WYMORB , Neb. , Feb. id. ( Special. ) In
vestigation of the burning of tha house
occupied by James Shelly shows that it was
caused by an Incendiary. The flames plainly
originated on the outside nnd Boon gained
such headway that Ihe family hnd barely
tlmo lo escape. They were forced to RO
barefoot to the house of a neighbor , where
they wcro supplied with clothing. On the
way the feet of several members of the
family were badly frozen.
Suspicion was at 'once directed toward
Jack Shearer , who bad' ' been ejected from
the house n month before , whom , it Is snlfl ,
made threats that he would get even with
Kan lings , the owner of the house. Yester
day n warrant was sworn out , charging
Shearer with having set the house on flrc ,
and ho was arrested nnd placed In Jail to-
nwnlt his preliminary hearing , which will
bo held tomorrow forenoon.
When Shelly moved Into the house n
couple of weeks ago , ho put up n etove to
dry the building , , nnd then went awny.
Upon his return the next morning the etove
had bcon kicked over nnd a card had been
tacked on the door which rend , "If you
don't want your goods burned , keep out. "
Shearer claims he can prove an alibi.

BEATRICE , Nob. , Feb. 10. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Coroner John Reed Tvaa called to

Frank Hum , a wealthy Bohemian who died
thers last night under somewhat peculiar
circumstances. Huso , was 70 years
old. Ills wife committed suicide last sum
mer by jumping Into a well. The inquest
over Huga'a remains developed the follow
ing facts ;
He was about the saloons of Barnston
last night drinking and had imbibed pretty
freely. At a late hour he was found lying
at the roar of one , of 'tho ' saloons nnd was
taken in charge y onq of .the bartenders ,
who assisted the old man to A vacant barn ,
where a young , man .named Louis Jisha had
a sleeping iroom.He was asked to > take
care of Huso1 'over 'night and was puld 5C
cents for bis trouble. Jieha eaw that Husa
waa bleeding .pretty badly and asked tl ) , <
bartender the Cailse of It , the latter reply
ing that ho hadn't noticed the bleeding : .
Jlaha then/ / took Huso , in charge , wnaied
some of the blood from 'him ' , wrapped him
in a blanket and laid him on the floor. He
then' got into his bed In the same room ,
Jlshn eays he arose about 3:30 : this morning
ingto start a lire , when Husa talked to
him. Several hours later he was dead. Tht
room was -then locked pending the coroner's

Huia's nose. Huca's bleeding was from e
deep cut on the back of his head. The

ot 320 acres , which Is one of ( lie finest on
the old reservation , He had six children ,
ono ofwhom , Anna , lives In Omaha. A

LINCOLN , Feb. 10. ( Special Telegram. )
The announcement today that Sam Ltchty ,
Insurance deputy of the auditor bad been
discharged caused n mild sensation in po
litical circles , although It has been known
for some time that there wore strained
relations between Cornell and Llchty on ac
count of disagreement In some matters re
lating to the insurance department and es
pecially on account of the Weaver bill in
the legislature creating an insurance de
partment under the governor. Llcbty has
never enjoyfd the favor of his chief or
of some of the other attaches of the oHIco
since he made the radical fight against free
passes. The quarrel seems to have come to
n focus today.

"As manager of the Keelcy Institute ol
North Conway , N , II. , for over three years ,
during which tlmo some 3,000 patients were
under my care , I can speak with a certain
degree of pocltlveness as to tbo injurious
effects of coffee upon the nerves , and the
beneficial effects of Postum Cereal Food
Coffee , when properly boiled.
Wo flnd , as you say , tbnt neither the flavor
nor the foo.d value can be extracted until
after 15 or 20 minutes of actual boiling. U
does not answer to simply allow | t to stand
on a warn ) atove for a few minutes.
I can most heartily endorse Postum and
advise nervous people to use it In place of
coffee or tea.
Upon the nervea of many , coffee acts with
the same poisoning effect as liquor , morphia
and tobacco , and , while acting as a stimu
lant , the reaction is the aame aa liquor or
morphia. In my own case , I flnd great bene
fit from using Posturn Cereal Food Coffee ,
whereas , . . flnd nothing but harm in coffee , "

Reports ore being received hero from stock
men in various parts of the btate which
tend to dispel < the fears which have been
cntortnlncd of heavy losses on account of
the recent storms and cold weather. The
sheepmen of Converse .ami Natroun counties ,
where there nro immense bands of thctfp ,
hnva been particularly fortunate.
Governor Richards , who Is one ot the
largo shcop owners ot the region , said to
day : "I have positive Information from a
man who came directly from my ranch that
wo have Buttered no loss whatever from the
storm. The hilltops on the * ranges are bare
and stock de In Rood condition , ns wind
accompanied the s'oim In our part of tbe
state * . Flockmastcrs la a position to know
write mo that they do not think the entire
loss of sheep In Natronu county from the
effects of the stcrm will exceed 100 head. "

Is running sheep on the Hed Desert , which
Is ono of the great sheep grazing tll&trlcts

ST. JOHN'S , N. D. , Feb. 10. A frightful
northwest gale Is raging tonight. The mall
steamer Virginia Duke was unable to round
Cape Race In the teeth of the wind and had
to enter the harbor to avoid foundering.
The storm seriously damaged the steamer
Gapecla , which was In an Ice fine In the Oulf
ot St. Lawrence. The wind will probably
break up the Ice and it would bo almost Im
possible for the vessel to escape. It is
hoped It was near enough shore to make
harbor before the gale reached Its height.

being polsoml just as truly as if a venom-

Rattlesnake poison is a peed deal quick
