NO REASON YET APPARENT Deceased Was Brother of Former Aadltor "earle of Nebraska. mn4 A. I.. "earle of Omshs, asl Hli Father Lives at Ocalalla. Charles F. Sesrle, bormiteeper for the Gnsrsntee Fund Life association, with of ficea In the Brandels building, Omaha, and brother of former State Auditor Bearle, committed suicide by drinking carbolic acid at the Ogden hotel Tuesday afternoon Bearle lived at 11J North Seventh street, with hli wife and 13-year-old daug-htr. Why Bearle killed himself his friend and family cannot telL Bearle appeared at the Ogden hotel about 10 yesterday morning and registered a "C. F. Bearle, City." To the clerk on duty he said he wanted a room, a ha wished to rest. While his appearance did not Indi cate It, Bearle told the clerk he had been drinking. Bearle ate dinner In the hotel In the mid dle of the day and went back to hla room shortly after 1 o'clock. A few minutes later he aent the porter to the drug store across the street to buy a bottle of vaseline. About 2 p. m. a chambermaid. In passing down the hall, noticed the smell of carbolic acid and reported the fact at the office. When the door was forced Srarla was found lying on the bed uncon cious. He was fully dressed with the ex ception of his coat. On cnatr beside the bed was a tumbler and a Blx-ounce bottle with half of the contents of carbolic acid gone. The bottle of vaseline was also on the chair. ' In order to avoid burning his lips with the acid Searte had carefully covered them with the vaseline. Half of the contents of the bottle of acid he had evidently rcured Into the tumbler before drinking It. He was still breatl ing but wholly un conscious when found and remained so until death came abtut half an hour later. Dr. O'Keefe was called aa soon as the man was found but his services were of no avail. The body wa removed to Woodrlng's undertaking rooms nearby. Although Bearle had lived in Council Bluffs for sev eral years, his business, except for the short time he was in the employ of tin Hafer Lumber company, had been out of the city, and as had made a few friends here, it was that thought that the suicide was a atranger. The dead man was first Identified by Clarence Hafer. Brother in Omaha, Charles F. Searlc was 39 years of age and was a brother of E. M. Searle of Ogal lalla. Neb. A brother, A. I Searle, lives at 8334 Lafayette avenue, Omaha, and another live In Lincoln, and until January 7 was state auditor. It Is said several years ago Charles Searle was receiver for the Valley Land company. Searle left a note written with pen cil, directed to the management of the Ogden hotel, which was found In his room. In this note, it Is sp.ld, Searle directed that his brother, A. L Searle in Omaha, be notified and that his personal effects be turned over to this brother. "This will end it," it is said, was added as a postscript. "We are absolutely at a loss to ascribe any motive for my brother taking his life," said A. L. Searle. Mr. Searle was . un willing at first to say anything. Asked if his brother was In financial straits, he said he was not, and there was no other' trouble that he knew of. He said he took luncheon with his brother last Sat ui day as he had done three or tour times a week for some months, and if there had been anything troubling his brother he would have known it. Charles Searle owned the house at 112 North Seventh street, Counoll Bluffs,-having built It about three year ago. It wax a handsome cottage of the bungalow style, snd its interior fittings are of the costliest character. With Company Short Time. Searle had only been with the Guarantee Fund Life association a head bookkeeper a little over four month. "We do not know anything whatever about hla affairs, nor why he should take hla life," said Secretary J. C. Buffing-ton. "He was a good bookkeeper and I es teemed him very highly. There is abso lutely nothing the matter with his books. His work was satisfactory in every way, and he was in the employ of the company when he commited suicide." Asked about the Insurance policies of the bookkeeper, Mr. Buffing ton said: "We know nothing as to the insurance he car ried. Though he worked for us, ho did not carry a policy with this company."

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 20.-The twentieth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of America organized for busi ness todsy. In several of the addresses of welcome was expressed the hope that how ever Intense might become the controversy over factional questions, all the member ship would be the more loyal to tho or ganization and determined to labor for Its progress. There are many candidates for the of fices of vice president and secretary-treasurer, and all say December's balloting was not decisive. A majority is required for these two offices. E. S. McCulloch, presi dent of the Michigan miners, Is mentioned as President Lewis' candidate for vice president, and W. D. Van Horn of Indiana is spoken of as the candidate of the op posing faction led by John Waler, presi dent of the Illinois miners union. The anthracite field of Pennsylvania Is well represented. A new wage agreement must be made by the anthracite miners to take the place of President Roosevelt's strike commission's award, which expires April 1. This will come up In the conven tion. WINNIPEG. Man., Jan. 3).There Is great unrest among the coal miners en gaged In the southern Alberta and British Columbia mines and before the renewal of the two years' agreement on April 1, 6,000 men may go on strike. This would mean a great shortage In the coke supply in the Montana and Washington camps at Spo kane, Great Falls. Helena and the Butte melters, besides tying up the steam coal supply of the Great Northern. Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern railways. Tho men demand an increase in pay. President Lewis introduced his report by reviewing the results of the speojal ses sion of the representatives of the organ ization held In Indianapolis last March, which resulted in the adoption of the pol icy that tho various districts, separately or in groups, should endeavor to agree with the operators on contracts for one year and at no reduction of wages. The Interstate Joint agreement had not been re-established. President Lewis proceeded to the consid eration of the suspension of the officers of district No. 11, Indiana, following upon the dispute as tO the settlement nf tk. ! n mine strike. Efforts to reach an agreement between miners and operators failed, and Mr. Lewis proposed1 that the miners return to work pending an Investigation to bo made by him with a view to offering a mutually ereeable plan of reconciliation. His ad vice was not accepted by the union of Dis trict No. 11, and the controversy resulted In the suspension order of the executive board. "This question is brought to your attention," said Mr. Lewis, "because It in volves the authority and Jurisdiction of the International organization. This convention should decide whether or not the Interna tional executive board Is the highest au thority in the organization when a conven tion is not In setslon. "It is evident from the decision rendered by Judge Wright in the alleged contempt case of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and his as sociates, that the injunction question is now to be settled by the highest courts of the land. The Injunction question Is not a new one. It Is older than the government of the United States. It Is a part of Eng lish common law. It is good and bad, like many other things, depending upon Its ap plication. "In the last two or three decades It has been made an instrument of evil In its ap plication to organized labor."

HAMER SELLS School Bonds REASONS WHY THEY ARE BETTER THAN A CERTI FICATE OP DEPOSIT OR SAVINGS ACCOUNT: The law gives to school districts the power, within certain limits, to borrow money to build new school houses. Its "promises to pay," or bonds are paid by taxing every dol lar of property, real and personal, in the district. The nature of a school district, the purpose for which it is created, argue most forcibly for the absolute security its bonds afford investors. Nebraska school districts include five to twelve sections of land. The debt is limited to ten per cent of the assessed valuation and as assessments here are based upon one-fifth of real values, it follows that the debt of no district can ex ceed two per cent of the value of the property in it. In fact it is in most cases much less than two per cent. Such securities are found in the assets of most life insur ance companies, are bought by. trustees of estates, and by well regulated savings banks. If so desirable for trust funds, why not equally desirable, for any man with little money, who wants to keep it safely and yet get a fair return, and at the same time hold his own security. By issuing school bonds in the small denominations of $50 and $100 each, I have bought the best securities our state affords within the reach of the small investor. By giving preference in my purchases to securities which I have al ready handled, a market is afforded to which an investor' can turn any time and sell his holdings or any part of them. I have school bonds of Pilger, Geneva, Adams and Milford, all in $100 denominations. I can also rent you a safety deposit box in the burglar and fire-proof vaults of the American Safe Deposit and Trust Co. to keep your money, bonds and valuables safe. $1 rents a box.
