The tragedy occurred about 11:18 o'clock , and was discovered an hour later by a epsciali officer who wgjp sent to the Hart home at the request of J. P. Comstock Mr. Blueman'a office manager. About U o'clock Comstock received a telephone message from Bluemsn in which the latter requested Comstock to com munlcate with his brother In Hastings Neb., and Inform hlm that a "terrible tragedy", was about to occur. Comstock quickly called up the police station and told them of what ha had heard.

Bleuman, It has been positively escer talned, finally came to the point where he felt the burden of his luxury. He was Jealous when Miss Hart received atten tions from another man, but at the same time he tried to Induce the woman whom ho had schooled In extrsvagance to be con tent with less, but she had learned the les son too well; she found It Impossible to Curb her expensive tastes. Week before last Bleuman took Miss Hart to Kansas City and they registered at one of the leading hotels as man and wife, re maining there for a week, living In luxury. On that trip he tried to prevail upon Miss Hart to loosen her clutches upon him. His methods of action were unique. He re vealed something of his uneasy state of mina to a friend last Wednesday, whom he Invited to a popular cafe for dinner and to whom he opened his heart. "I had rooms In that Kansas Cltv hnt.i costing me $9 a day and We were fairly mowing me money to the winds," Sleu- mm cms inenci. "i had got sick of thls sort of thing and told the little girl we wouia nave to stop. She seemed utterly Insensible to the amount of money I was spending on her and yet she was costing ... .mm 10 ii.uw a month. "I tried to show her by comDarlson bnw extravagantly we were living. I asked her 10 go witn me on to St. Louis, where I could take her to a place and get our breakfast for 5 cents.

Minted at Ralclde. And then Bleuman stopped fchort In his connaentlal narrative to his friend, look ing him straight In the eye. But. ." (calling his friend bv nimii "with all that fine time we had In Kansss -uy mat week It didn't cost me a nt he exclaimed, "not a cent! That was once wnen I got rrom under." And then he laughed In derision. "Didn't cost you a cent, it 19 t davT' saea ins rrtend In surprise. "What do you mean? Who paid for It?" "My heirs," replied Bleuman quickly and In a low tone of voice. To another friend Bleuman, about, the same time, remarked: "I may die with my boots on, but never broke." There were two or three men who were not aurprised when the news that he had taken his own life came out. That day while Sleuman was entertaining hla confidential friend at the cafe a woman sitting at a table opposite them came over to Sleuman's table and asked him If he could pay "that dress bill of 912 now?" "Why, certainly," replied Sleuman, "as well now as any time." and took out his checkbook and wrote the woman a check for the amount. That was to pay for one of Miss Hart's dresses, he told this friend. Boaaht Hons for Girl. The home at 4304 Burdette atreet. where the murder and suicide occurred, would have been Miss Hart's had she lived, ao this confidential friend of Sleuman'a says Bleuman told him that same day at the cafe that he had bought the Interest In the home owned by JJohn 8. Hart, the flrl'a father, who now Uvea In Lincoln and taken a mortgage en the home, but intended to turn It over to her. He said the father knew of their relations and he bought the home to "get the old man Bleuman said he had spent some II 000 furnishing thehome. . Mrs. Sleuman, it la understood, became aware of her husband's duplicity and left hlm while they were making their home at the Rome. Efforts at reconciliation by friends and relatives were unavailing. Bleuman betrayed a desire some time ago to -make up" with his wife, a most es tlmable womsn, but last Wednesday he told this friend that he knew he would never see his wife again. "It's too late now ever to make up." he said. "I have treated her too mean." Stack Wealth. Mr. Sleuman waa a wealthy man. Aside rrom his bucket shop busineu in n.i,. he owned a vast amount of good Nebraska farming land out In the atate, mostly In the neighborhood of Trumbull and Hast ings.

About a year after that turn In hla life or about five years ago, Sleurrn and his wire came to Omaha to live. His field of business was not large enough to suit him at Hwtlng He engaged In the bucket shop business here. He and Mrs. Blouman took up their abode at the Millard hotel. To show the extravagant habits and tastes of the man. he decorated his rooms at the hotel at his own expense of $1,600 and lived at a rapid clip. But here again was an evil mile post In th. man's Journey of life. At the hotel, about three years ago. he met Miss Hart, who was a sort of manicurist.

Mr. Bryan's plan to destroy civil serv ice should be connected up with his declaration for government ownership of rauroaos. just imagine the government acquiring and running the railroads of the country under this plan of employing railroad officers, clerks and operatives Suppose every railroad conductor an every locomotive engineer should have a four-year Job and then be dislodged, where could the government get men to take their places?

The Juggling and sleight-of-hand feata now come out since the duke of Alma has become the nominee of the people'H party by the forced flunk on the part of Oeorge Washington Uerge, the rightful nominee, but who was made the "fall guy" by Brother-in law Tommy Allen. onaiienoerger then accepted the popu list nomination as the second high man and bla.oned abroad the information: 'Democratic and People's Parties' Nom- nea for Governor." But ShallcnbeiKer was not as farslghted as he is credited with being, or else he thouaht the voter of this state were too dumb to see through the sham, for In accepting the second nomination he accepted platform declarations at the antipodes of his be liefs as previously expressed and. for that matter, as now given vent to.

By his speeches on personal rights, Mr. Biiallrnberfier says he does not believe In a county option law and tne resultant restriction on the sale of In toxicants. "win onauenDerger is to be believed?
