THE OMAHA HARDING'S GUN IS NO GoOD Buliets Fived at Short Ranga Fail to Peustrate Vietim. SUDDEN END OF A BOARDING HOUSE ROW Man Who Intervenes with a Club Becomes a Target, but. G on Easily Owing to Poor Pistol, An Intricate serles of leases and sublet- ting which is still in course of unraveling In the county court, some alleged insulting femarks and a few minor and less impor- tant irritants led to a shooting yesterda: svening at 1521 Douglas street, wherein W. R. Harding fired three shots at A. L. Mc- Clelland without injuring him noticeably One bullet struck directly in the center of the shootee's baek but because the weapon of offense was an antiquated bulldog with- out much muzzle energy, the lead only left & pink spot like a birth mark on McClel- land's skin and, turning downward, found exit at the knee of that person’s Lrousers. Another bullet grazed his left cheek and the third strick the Rouse. Harding was arrested and charged with shooting with Intent to kill; McClelland with assault; G. P. Burchmore, A. B. Seybolt and Joseph Sarroll as state witnesees. At about 6:30 o'clock yesterday evening Harding and Seybolt became involved in a quarrel iu the front hall of the house, the seuse of action being alleged insulting lan- guage used by the latter In regard to the wife of the former. Young McClelland, hearing the scuffle, came running down the stalrs with a broomstick in his hand. Hard- log, seeing him coming, drew a revolver.

Nobody seems to be able to say who feally owns the house where the shooting sccurréd, but John Robbins has the leasing of It: A Mrs. Carroll is sald to have taken the premises from the agent and afterward left them in charge of W. R. Harding. The latter in’ turn sublet the house to Mrs. Addle McClelland, resorving two rooms in it for himself and wife. Along last fall Harding instituted proceedings against the McClellands for possession, but they con- tested the suit and got a stay of proceed- ings. Hardiog, - who did thé shooting, sald: ‘When I fired 1 thought that it was a natchet with ‘which McClelland hit me. I was fighting Seybolt when McClelland came down and struck me. I had no quarrel with him, except that I wished to get pos- session of the, house from the McClellands. They opposeéd me in the court, I assaulted Seybolt because he insulted my wife." ‘lelland sald: “Harding has for some time been trying to get us out of the house when we had complied with all the terma of the lease. He has several times threat- ched to fight me. 1 am not very strong and avoided a contest, but yvecterday when he assaulted Seybolt I came down.

The Second Ward_ Republican club held an enthusfastic meeting last night in a vicant stere butlding at 1433 South Six- liflnlh street. The large room was packed fall of men, who loudly applauded the phints of the speakers. W. W. Bingham, 08 o candidate for mayor, was accorded a hearty reception when he made a short tglk. Councilman F. H. Hoye and C. E. Stenicke, who aspires to succeed him, fol- lowed with brief, good-natured political apeeches, Hoye making it plain that he desired renomination and re-election. Fred Bruning, the Second's candidate for tax commissioner, made a forceful speech that arouséd much applause. ‘‘Whoever we nominate, let us ‘n!lnk by him,” he sald. Michael Lee was Called upon to speak and wald that the present republican admin! tration was very nearly & model one In every respect. The mention of Mayor Moore's name trought out ringing cheers. A. C. Troup, who was introduced as the oiily lawyer in the Sepond ward, was the next .speaker, and Frank W. Bandhauer, president of the First ‘Ward Republican club, finished after, @ speech had been demanded from him. He said there must be mo division of republicans, but that the best timber must be chosen and sup- ported at the polls.

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS Creatore The magician of the 1 instruments This was ths attraction which filled the Boyd well last night with an audience which lent much enthusiasm If not actual hilarity to the occasion. The band played as if someone had sug- gested the motto Play on, And damned be he musie MacDuffo; who don't play hard enough-n! The band played, and the people went wild with enthusiasm, and Creatore con- ducted,- led,’ cajoled, threatened, wheedled, coaxed, sang, danced, and for all the inno- cent critic knows, he may bave “swored.” But Creatore does get the effects. While he is certainly amusing in many of his moods, and while one cannot possibly help laughing occasionally when he hears a strain of a Liszt “rbapsodie” given out voeally note by note, before the band plays it, yet his most unkind critic mu that there is a setious side to He has a good band, not an extraordinary band, but generally speaking, a very good band—men who are capable of producing effocts—and Creatore knows the effecis he wants, and he goes after them, and he gets them! Yes, Creatore muc: be taken serfously. With all of his entricities, he has the femperament “‘to beat the band'—and he beats it. His climaxes are thrilling, because he always brings his climax from a reduced tone-body to a fortissimo, instead of bulld- ing one loud passage on top of another, His best work was done in the “Tell" overture and the “Carmen” number. One interesting novelty was the organ offer- toire (one of the four big St. Cellias, by the way) by the flashy French organist, Edouard Batiste. 1 doubt If the offertoires would be considered strictly good organ music by the best French masters of the organ, than whom there are none bettar in the world, and the effect produced in the band ar- | rangement showed that, while it lacked in | the sustained organ tone whieh poets bave | always spoken of as the “mighty diapason,” It was nevertheless a composition, or style of composition, adapted o & large band. Creatore was exceedingly generous with encores. Mme. Barili, a beautiful singer who did {not sing very beautifully, gave that old | war horse, the “Nobfl Denna,” from the | “Huguenots’ of Meyerbeer. Having henrd] Scalchi and others do full justice to that | beautiful old aria, it was not grateful to listen to a light mezzo soprano in it. Mme. Barili made an error in judgment. But it is not necessary. For she has a. beautiful voice in much of her compass. When she loses that fault of attacking each tome about a third below its pitch and then slid- ing up to it she will be a much more wel- come singer, Her extreme upper tones were beautiful in softness and in certainty | lof placement. Mme. Barill has a volce |and a temperament worth better things than those she does with them, The old “Lucla” sexteile was on the pro- gram, of course, and was given with vim by Signori Di Girolamo, Alla, Margadonna, Luciatio, Iafisco and Giulll, INFLATED BUT NOT KILLED| Experience of a Reveler Who Slept in Roeom with the Gas Turned On. Jerome Stout, who came here Wednesday atternoon from St. Paul with two friends, and who reglstered at the State hotel on Douglas street, had 4. narrow escape from death by asphyxiation yesterday. He was discovered about 2 o'clack m.% ternoon after he had been lying in“a gas=fifled roomi| for twelve hours and medical sum- moned. Police Surgeons Vance and Joung- bluth worked about two hours over him and brought returning consclousness. Stout says that he and his friends made a merry night of the dark hours of Wednesday | and that he retired about 2 a. m. He says | he thought he turned off the gas and that | he had no intention of suicide. ‘When his friends put him to bed he left the gas turned about two-thirds on. When the chambermaid became susricious at the long closed room in the afternoon she spoke to the clerk about it and the latter | forced ‘the door. Stout lay unconsclous in | the bed and the gas, now extinguished, was | flowing from the burner, which was turned | as it was the night before. The man had | placed the wash stand against the door and backed this up with the bed. The transom ‘was closed and there are no win- dows to the room. He had only 35 cents and a watch to guard from theft by so caretully blockading the door. A PESTIFEROUS G TRM. Burrows Up the Scalp Into Dandruff Saps the Hair's Vitality. People who complain of falling hair as a rule do mot know that it Is the result of dandruff, which is caused by a pestiferous parasite burrowing up the scalp as it digs down to the sheath in which the hair s fed | in the scalp. Before long the hair root is shriveled up and the hair drops out. If the work of the germ is not destroyed, hair keeps thinning t{ll baldness comes. The only way to cure dandruff is to kill the germ, and until now there has been no hair preparation that would do it; but today dandruff is easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide, which mékes hair glossy and soft as stlk. WHY THEY WERE ARRESTED. George Krebs, , living on Eouth Thirteenth street, and a friend yesterday hired ‘'a horse of Baumley & Johns began a drive. They drove so long #0 hard and stopped so often at val | places that by cvening they had reached | a condition known to the c'ty ordinances as drunk and disorderly and Krebs was ar- rested.

F. Crofoot presided. An en- thusiastic interest was manifested, and it was determined t) continue the organiza- tion on the same lines as last year. The report of the treasurer showed the affairs of the club to be in excellent shape, with about $100 in the treasury. Twenty-nine members afixed their sig- natures to the new list for reorganization and the club then organized by electing the following oficers for the ensuing year: President, J. M. Arnold of Omaba; vice president, E. 8. Harrell of South Omaha; treasurer, Thomas B. McPherson of South Omaha; secretary, Floyd J. Campbell of Omaha.

The officers of the club were authorized to enter into a contract with the owner of the racing grounds and track for four months at a rental of $50 per month. The question of the matinees at Council bluffs was left to iscretion of the oficial board, A rule was adopted permitting only carts and driving wagons to enter in the races. Bike sulkies were barred as savoping too much of professionalism. Special events were left to the option of the board of directors.
