Frank A. Weaver Drinks Carbolic
Arid While on Street Car.
Trouble with his young wife, to whom
he was married only last September, and
from whom he was recently separated,
Is believed to have been responsible for
Frank A. Weaver, a youth of 21 years of
age. drinking carbolic acid yesterday aft
ernoon, with evident suicidal intent.
Young Weaver, who had been at Lake
Manawa with two of his sisters, drank
the acid just before boarding a car that
was. leaving the grounds. A companion
who witnessed him drink the sold, notified
the young man's sister, and she hastened
to his side In the car and accompanied
him up town.
Reaching VrJ Cole's offlra on Pearl

was almost In a stats of col'apee, was
assisted from the car. Dr. Cole . was not

rapidly becoming unconscious, sank to
the sidewalk, where he ' was soon sur
rounded by a curious crowd. A chair was
procured and he was propped up on It
while a call was sent for the city ambu
lance and for doctors, several of whom
were soon on the scene, i The young man
was taken to Mercy hospital, where last
nlghf late his condition was said to be
serious, with the chances against his re
covery. Young Weaver was married last Septem
ber to Vallle Fuller, .a yoimg woman of
this city, but trouble soon ensued, and
she Is said to have left him recently.
That he contemplated ending1 hfir life was
evident from his taking the acid with him
to the lake, where he met his wife and
vainly attempted, It Is said, ' to Induce
her to return td him.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES
General Dodg-e Fretidei Orer Serried

ADDRESS BY JUDGE ESTELL2
Oration on the lakaesa Dead is
Delivered by Rev. . Grant
Lewis of Plfth Aveano
v M. E. Chorch.
Despite the uncertainty resulting from
the rain In the morning and the prospect
of more during the afternoon as to
whether the Memorial day exercises
should be held In the auditorium 'or in
Falrmount park, aa planned, quite a good-
stard crowd gathered at the park, where
the program was carried out. after more
or less delay.
In the morning some of those in charge
of the day's exercises were of the opin
ion that on account of the heavy rain
Saturday night they should be held In
the auditorium. Others of the committee
were Insistent thst, unless It was actually
raining during the afternoon, the exer
cises should be held In the park, as orig
inally planned. Many took It for granted
that the program would be carried out
at the auditorium, and went there. Among
these were General Grenvllle M. Dodge,
presiding officer of the day, and Park
Commissioner Graham. Reaching the au
ditorium, they learned that it hed finally
been decided to hold the exercises In Fair
mount, and there they went, although
reaching the plaos a little late. Many un
doubtedly were kept away by fear that
the ground in the park would be wet
after the heavy rain of Saturday even
ing. This, however, proved not to be the
case. As It turned out, the weather con
ditions during the afternoon, except for
somewhat cool breese. could hardly
have been improved upon. The sun came
out bright and strong and induced many
who had hesitated earlier In the day to
leave their homes and Join the crowd at
the park In paying tribute to the men who
saved the union.
Address by Jndsie F.stelle.
Judge Lee Estelle of Omaha, ths prin
cipal speaker of the day, delivered a
strong address, which aroused the enthus
iasm of his audience. He touched a pop
ular chord when he spoke In eloquent
tribute of the late Captain Dalley of this
city and of General Dodge, the much-beloved
friend of the old soldiers. Judge
Estelle's address was replete with per
sonal remlnlsoences of the great strife.
Before closing Judge Estelle -spoke par
ticularly for the young people, the rising
generation, Impressing upon tbem the need
of obeying the laws of their country. The
great danger of this country, the Judge
declared, waa the' contempt for the law.
He also paid an eloquent tribute to the
women of the wsr, declaring that the
mothers and the wives of the men behind
the guns were the ones who really saved
the union-and were the heroines of that
great strife.
The oration on the unknown dead was
delivered by Rev. 8. Grant Lewis, pastor
Of the Fifth Avenue Methodist church.
The original Elks' quartet composed of
Dr. Claude Lewis, C. 8. Haverstock, J. R
Gerke and W. S. Rlgdon sang "Hark, the
Trumpet," by Dudley Buck, and In re
sponse to an encore, "The Vacant Chair "
The quartet at the close of Rev. Mr.
Lewis' address sang a patriotic hvmn writ
ten by Miss Anne Walker, a young news
paper writer of this city, entitled 'Our
Nation s Glory."
Following the exercises Covalt's band
played a number of patrtotto selections

German Aeronaut Stopped -by Acci

a tlnn Jearaff,
GOEPriNGEN, May SI. The Zeppelin
airship, on Its way back to Frledrlchahafen
from Rltterfeld, came down In an rpn
field near here today. Th landing was In
tended only for a maneuver, but the en
velope of the pointed bow of the vessel
came In contact with the brsnch of a tree
and was torn. After an examination of the
damage it was decided to send It Fried
rlchshafen for workmen to repair the dam
age before proceeding. Th rent Is a
slight one and can be mended by tonight.
The count explained that he did tiot con
tinue on to Berlin from Rltterfeld laat
night because .the airship had lost some
gas, and he thought It wiser to start on
the return trip to Frledrlchshsfsn, psr
tlcularly as the homeward Journey would
require from fifteen to twenty hours.
The aeronaut Is satisfied with this
Journey, which is the longest excursion yet
undertaken. The airship covered some 8S0
miles, - Including Its msneuverlng, within
thirty-seven hours. The tearing of th en
velope of the forward compartment carries
no particular lesson, exoept that greater
care must be taken In steering.

the count and his two engineers snd a
crew of seven men on board, came down
In a meadow near Unter Tuerkhelm this

rose again and continued Its journey to
wards Frledrlchshafen. It passed Esslln

Kerohelm, below Teck at 10:15 a. m.
The vessel left the floating shed on Lake
Constance a little after 9 o'clock Ssturday
night. The objective point was Berlin,
where Emperor William yesterday awaited
the arrival of the count, but the dirigible
got only as far as Bltterfleld, some 400
miles from the starting place and he de
cided to return. There are on board Count
Zeppelin himself, two engineers and a
crew of seven men. The airship has now
been sailing aloft for something over
thirty-seven hours, coming to the ground
but once and then immediately rising again
and continuing the Journey.
Hundreds Gather at Berlin.
BERLIN, May 31. It was announced
and widely distributed In special edi
tions of the newspapers, that . Count
Zeppelin would come to Berlin and land
at the Tempelhof parade ground. Hun
dreds of thousands gathered there this
afternoon. The emperor and empress, sev
eral of the princes and the leading mili
tary officials and officers were present,
and toward evening searchlights were set
to work in anticipation of th approach
of the airship. Soldiers kept an enormous
place clear until 10:30 o'clock at night,
when a dispatch from Bttterfeld announced
that the airship was returning to the start
ing place at Frledrlchshafen, which caused
the most intense disappointment.
Count Zeppelin, who personally was In
charge of the airship and whose hand was
on the tiller during the greater part of
the Journey, had not allowed a word to be
made publlo relative to his Intention to
undertake an endurance trip. It was, bow
ever, common knowledge that he purposed
to seise the first favorable opportunity to
proceed to Berlin, In his newest craft.
Zeppelin II, which . was built to replace
the one destroyed near Echterdlngen.
Early Conditions Unfavorable.
The voyage , began under rather unfav
orable conditions. There was a lowering
sky, rain clouds, and a strong side wind
when the airship left the floating hall
shortly after 9 o'clock last night. The
residents did not pay much attention to
thla, as they were accustomed to night
flights, and when the great ship took the
air at :42 there was not a cheer to speed
It on Its way. The ship ascended directly
for a few hundred feet and, passing over
the town of Frledrlchshafen, proceeded
northward.
Early In the morning the people of
Treuchtllngen, a small city In central Ba
varia, were awakened by the noise of the
propellers of the craft, which was passing
slowly. At this place the count dropped
out a card divulging his Intention to pro
ceed farther north. This was th first oc
casion he hsd Journeyed over Bavaria and
his arrival an hour and a half later at
Nuremberg caused the greatest surprise to
thousands of pleasure-seekers, who wer
preparing for the holiday excursions. J
Th ship maneuvered over th city and
then a card waa thrown out; stating that a
greater amount of water and benzine had
been usej than was expected and that the
craft would descend to the surface of Lake
Dutxentelch to replenish the water supply.
This Intention, however, was not carried
out.
Count Zeppelin continued his cruise on
ward without Interruption In a direct lln
towards Berlin, passing over several towns
at a low altitude amid th cheers of the
populace, until he reached th frontiers of
haxoiiy, wher th airship was headed
straight for Lelpsic.
Telegrams received there from the south
indicated that Count Zeppelin would make
a landing and ths entire population walled
for several hours In the streets and open
spaces to greet him. Instead of landing,
the count put his craft through a series
of maneuvers for a half hour, coming
times comparatively close to the tops of
th buildings. He then went on, crossing
Halle, to Bltterfeld. No time was wasted
there and to everybody's surprise the air
ship, after describing a great circle, turned
again and sailed to th south.
In the meantime the military authorities
at Berlin were absolutely without advices
as to the count's plans. Major Grots, com
mander of th army ballooon corps, said
that no arrangements had been made for
the landing of the airship at Tegel, the
military balloon headquarters. Th local
authorities, however, learned from private
dispatches that the airship was approach
ing and so informed the emperor and
princes. Orders were given to prepare a
space in the Templehof field. This was
surrounded by lines of police and troops
and virtually th entire population of th
capital swarmed thither and waited on
tiptoe of expectancy and excitement until
long after dark. Then a special newspaper
spread th depressing news of the airship's
return. The crowds at first refused to give
credence to this report, but finally dis
persed.
When th emperor snd, empress left the
field the troops marched away.

the other combatant.
Ths doors of the chamber previously had
been locked to keep the members In. It la
said one member had succeeded In get
ting out, when Senator Henson, who twice
had asked and had been refused permis
sion to leave. -took his hst and started to
go out. He was nearly to the door when
Asslatant Sergeant-at-Arma Sheridan, who
IS young and athletic, caught him by the
arm. According to Sheridan, Henson there
upon turned and struck him In th faftc. A
moment later the two were Involved In a
rough-and-tumble fight. At the steps lead
ing to the main entry both fell and con-
Inued the fight, rolling and striking on
the carpet until they were dragged apart,
while Senator Heard of Qulncy, an ex-confederate
soldier, begged them to "remem
ber Illinois," and not disgrace the senate.
Senator Henson arose, hi face bleeding,
and started at Sheridan, but was restrained
by Senator Dalley of Peoria, who put his
arm around him and took him into the mi
nority cloak room.
Lster apologies were made by all con
cerned.
Two Eclipses in
Month of June
Moon
Will Hide Its Face Thurs
day and Sun on Seven
teenth. WASHINGTON. May 81. Two Interest
ing spectacles In the astronomical world
will occur during the coming month. These
events will be eclipses of the moon and
sun, the former on June $ and the latter on
June 17. The moon will rise totally eclipsed
and Its totality will last about an hour,
whll the sun will only be in totality near
th north pol.
Its chief interest will be the lunar eclipse
which will be visible over about half the
earth. On June $ the moon will emerge
from the total phase at 9 o'clock, eastern
standard time, and will leave the shadow
at 10:14 p. m. It continues In the penumbra
or partly shadow till 11:20 o'clock p. m.,
but this latter phase Is not an Interesting
one. Farther west the moon will rise
ator and emerge from the shadow at $
o'clock, central standard time.
The aclipee of th sun fin June 47 begins
In its partial phases in central Asia and
China and extends down to the Philippine
Island. The partial phase, also covers the
eastern part of Asia and nearly the whole
of North America, Greenland and Iceland,
and th northern part of Finland in the
vicinity of North Cape. The eclipse will be
visible fairly well in the western part of
the United Stales near sunset and In the
eastern part near sunrise, it may be
observed Through a smoked glass.
Th lunar eclipse Is visible practically
throughout Europe and Africa and South
America, but in western Asia and North
America the eclipse will be visible only In
part, except in the extreme northwest of
the latter where th eclipse will be Invis
ible. In order to study the Intensity of the
sun's rays and the effect of any variation
in them upon the earth, C. O. Abbott, di
rector of the Smithsonian astro-physical
observatory, has left here for Mount Wil
son, Cal., where he will remain during th
summer and fall making observations.
