Sorenson Oommits Suicide, PREVIOUSLY QUARRELED WITH HIS WIFE No Food In the House, Debts to Pay a Lond of Troubl Had Ended Thelr Own Lives. No Money, No Work ed Too Heavy Two Brothers ©. Johngon went Into a barn at the cor- of Twenty-fourth avenue and Seventh t yesterday noon and found the body of Sorenson, aged 70 years, hanging from roof, with the feet about six inches from floor. Sorenson lved In the house ad- joining. Last winter he and his wife had a Qisagreement, which resulted in her leaving him and going to Harlan, where they had a son and daughter living. She has never been back since. Last week Sorenson drove across the coun- try to Harlan, and there saw his wife, re- turning Friday night. He was about the place during the evening and yesterday morning until about 9 o'clock, when he was for the last time alive, so far as can be learned. When his body was found it was cold and stiff, and he had evidently been dead for some little time. Sorenson had frequently told his neighbors that he contemplated suicide. His house was furnished in the barest manner in aginable and he was completely out of food. This Is thought to have been the prime cause of his rash act. He was out of money and had some notes just about to fall due and no place from which to expect assistance. Cor- oner Jennings was summoned as soon as the body was discovered and an investigation made, which resulted in Dr. Jennings determining not to hold an inquest. Mr. and Mrs. Sorenson were married forty three years ago and had four married chi dren. A conversation with a relative of the dead man developed the fact that two of his brothers had committed suicide by hanging. A son and daughter of the dead man will arrive In the city this morning to make arrangements for the funeral. SYMPTOMS OF A BOOM. Real Estate Actlvity in the Northwestern Part of Town Creating Fxecitement. Rumors of a vague and indefinite character have been actively circulated in the. past two or three days that extensive improve- ments are in contemplation in the northwest- ern part of town, and partly from this cause a remarkable activity has sprung up in real estate in that locality. For several days there has been a quiet but very active hunt for options on vacant lots, and it was stated yesterday that more than 2,000 options had been secured. This has had a tendency to give real estate values a healthy boost. One block of ten lots sold for $1,600 ~was transferred in less than two hours for $2,000, The greatest activity is In the vicinity of the Paul land tracts, and every bit of prop- erty in that vicinity is covered by options. If the people who are getting control of the property know the cause of the activity they are keeping the information strictly” entre nous, in the hope of getting more of it. Many of the rumors arc absurdly ridiculous, but the information that scems to be reliable is to the effect that important and extensive improvements will be commenced in a few weeks that will add very greatly to the com- merclal importance of Council Bluffs. The real estate men are vigorously combating the idea of a boom, but they are very jubilant over the prospects of the immediate future. DSTON STOF seen seen THE CHANGE. r. Whitelaw Remains in Charge of the Rig Dry Goods Establishment. The change of proprietorship of the Boston Store announced yesterday was further sup- plemented by the agreeable intelligence that Mr. Whitelaw would remain in full charge of the store, and that the change will in no way affect the character of the business. Mr. Fowler will remain in town several days, as- sisting Mr, Whitelaw, but his busipgss in- terests in the east will demand all of B at- tention, It Is the intgntion to enlarge. and increase the busin n all llnes, and Mr. Whitelaw will have a larger enterprise than ever to manage. ¥. Fotheringham has not yet confided to his friends his plans for the future, but it is not probable that he will leave the city.

This, sup- plemented by the surrounding lawn, whose various illuminations of gas, electric and Chinese devices, contrasting with the green sward and luxuriant foliage of overhanging trees, produced an effect of magnificence and loveliness which could be excelled only by a scene from fairyland.

Nicholson, state geolo- gist at the University of Nebraska, who has Just completed a careful investigation of the fleld and analysi$ of the d-posit. Prof. Nich- olson says ‘We began our investigations at a point about four miles northeast from Edgemont, where the ledges open out nearest the rail- way track. From this point we prespected the canon for a distance of some eight or nine miles. “For the cntire distance the sides of the canon are bold escarpments of pure sand- ston: of different colors and of different de- grees of hardnes The total thickness of the exposure rang:s from fifteen to twenty feet near the railroad to from seventy-five ton 125 fe:t toward the upper part of the canon. “The exposed rock lies in strata varying from an inch or o to several feet in thick- ness. These various strata vary considerably in color, texture and hardness. x samples were analyzed, showing only a trace of lime or alkal'es, while in silica, iron and moisture, the samples compared with the castern stone as follows: Edgem Berea Sumple Ohio.

Crushing force represents force required to crush cubes of one inch surface; 1, when applied perpendicular to natural bed of rock; 2, when applied parallel to natural bed. The com- pirative strength of six samples of this rock is shown by the fcllowing table Crushing F Perpendieular. that the resistance the strength of the machine, is 2,000 pounds. fechanically each of these samples con- sists of medium fine, sharp grains of silica set in & matrix of iron and lime. The tex- ture of all is very even and free from flinfy nadules. “The supply is practically inexhaustible, while the exposures at the bend of the rail- road and at the curve of the canon next above can be worked very economically with but little preliminary ‘stripping.’ “ET the chemical structure and physical structure of the stone, its even texture, sharp grain and freedom from hard spots, 1 should pronounce it a good grind- stone reck.’” % ANOTHER GEOLOGIST'S PERIENC A similar, though independent, examin tion of the deposit was made by Dr. J. W Williamson, the eminent Chicago geologlst, who conveys the following Intercsting infor- mation in his report: “The economic geological feature of the Qistrict in which you have the sandstone claim is as follows: County of Fall River, E. B. H. M.; altitude above sca level, 3,500 feet; clevation above the town of Edgemont, about 70 feet; distance northeast of Edgemont, 19,400 feet. At this particular point there has been much disturbance caused by rents and bolts by the dynamic action of the carth’s crust. The geological series to which the sandstone deposits bclong is that of the Permfan and underlies two others, the Juri- assic and the Triassic systems. About three miles south of the town of Edgemont the fossils of the Jurassic series cin be seen. At the junction of the Triassic and the Permian the lines are quite distinct and nature has, by the eroding action of the atmosphere, ex- cavated the rock until there is an open cut to the depth of from fifty to eighty fect of a rock face, and its surface has also been de- nuded and has left bare the top of the stone and thereby left it all ready for operation, and you will be able to take out commer- cial stone at once. This is a condition very seldom met with anywhere, “The deposits are inexhaustible, and as to quality it Is exc:llent—much superior to some taken from the same system of rocks in other localities. Its crushing strain is 3,888 tons per cublc feet, and when it is well seasoned it will take much more to crush it. It will also stand the weather changes well, better, in fact, than most other stone of the same class of formation that you meet with in the United States.

In the first plac: it will make a better grind- stone than any now made in this country. It can be manufactured at a comparatively smull cost, and sold at a good profit. The Stone will ‘'wear uniform, as there I8 no iron in the bisulphite form, as many of the stone quarries of other states contain. The d:n- Sity Is also alike through the deposit. When the stone is first minzd out of the quarry it is quite soft and very easily worked, but When it has been out a short time it becomes dense and much more indurated upon ex- Dosure (o the action of the atmosphere and P¥halation of the hydroscopic water, thereby causing the uncombined silicon "acld to Solidify; hence the meteoric water has no ffect on the stone once it has been well seasoned. “The cost of manufacturing grindstones will be comparatively small and a business with but few ompetitors, for.the reason that the grade of the stone cannot be found %o plentiful in North America. I do not know where they have anything like a fair Mtone for such purposes exc:pt in Massillon and Berea, O ‘ihe frelght rates being In your favor there Is no reason why you should not get all of the business you would desire handle, east and west. The trade woull prefer your goods by reason of their fupe lority. For the manufacture of grindstones it will be nec ary, however, D erect a plant With the same machinery you can saw out pavement and other rocks for build ing purposes.

There are probably very few those whose business identifies them closely with building interests, who have the slight- est jdea of the importznce and extent of the building stone industry in this country. The Cleveland Stone company, which owns or controls the Ohio quarris is the largest concern in the country in that business, be- ing capitalized for $2,225,000, and producing 40,000 tons of grindstones annually, besides a vast amount of buildng stone. From fitty to 100 carloads of grindstone &nd building stone are shipped each day from their quarry at Berea, where from 500 to 700 men are worked, with a monthly pay roll of from $50,000 to $75,000. The price of grindstone ranges from $§ to $12 per ton, and building stone from 30 to 36 cents per cubic foot, showing the value of the annual output to be something enormous. This stone is used in buildings cs far cast as Boston and as far west as Omaha and Lincoln, while the grindstone is shipped to all parts of the world, that destined for the Pacific coast going to New York by rail and thence by water to S:n Francisco. The Douglas county court house, Omaha city hall and Union National bank building are built of Ohio stone, and there are several other buildings in the Nebraska metropolis constructed of the s:me material. It wilk be but a short time until this new candidate for commercial honors will be in the field in active comp-tition, presenting what will be practically a home industry product to the transmississippl country. Representatives of the Edgemont Stone com- pany have just returned from the east, where they secured a large plant of the most fmproved machinery for operating (he quarry here, and engaged several skilled workmen of large experience, who will direct the open- ing of the quarry in a thoroughly prac ical most advantageous manner. The Bur- lington Railway company Is putting in a switch and sidetracks at the quarry, and the work of getting out stone will be begun at once, for several large orders have alrcady been received, Stone will be furnished from this quarry for the new court house at Sher- idan, Wyo., to be erected by Contractor H. F. Cady of Omaha, a new bank building at Crawford, and a postoffice building and news- paper building at this place, the latter to be the new home of the Edgemont Express. In view of the fact that this will be a superior stone to any other in the country; that the deposit is entircly bare and may be taken out at once, whereas the Cleveland stone lies beneath fifteen feet of slate, which must first be removed; that the ledge Is from fifty to eighty feet al Edgemont, while no other ledge exceeds forty feet; that the stone at Cleveland has to be carefully picke out, as only a small proportion of It is available for grindstone use, while there s a solid wall of eigh'y feet at Edgemont Teady to be utilized for grindstone purposes; that In the same quarry witn the grindstone is found an_ inexhaustible supply of splendid building and paving stone, it is at once man- {fest that there ls mo western market in which the Edgemont article “will not suc. cessfully compete, and that a great industry must perforce speedily grow out of this great Tass of s'one, which Is sufficient to supply the world for generation: AFTER HIS BROTHE R'S SHARE. aside from Charles Falr Dringing Sult for an Addi- tlonul Half Million SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18 surviving son of ex-Senator Fair, began an- effort in probate department of th court today to secure $1,000,000 of the amount being the his deceas:d brother, James, and himself.
