ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.


Charley Parker, of NiObrara, Swallows a
Dose of Laudanum.
Niobrara Pioneer, 18th.
Last Sunday afternoon Chas. f. Par
ker, deputy county clerk, concluded that
life had no further charms for him, and
procuring some laudanum he told few
friends that he was going to kill himself,
but no one seemed to nav any attention
to the matter, thinking that he was only
fooling. At later hour in the after
noon he approached few of his friends
and holding the bottle of laudanum up
before them, repeated his determination
to put an end to his existence, Mt the
same time putting the bottle to his lips
and drinking a portion Of its contents
was Immediately taken in hand by his
known, much to the disgust of Charlie,
who had by this time come to the con-
clusion that taking poison was all we'll
matter. After working with him for
several hours they finally placed him out
of danger and left him to his media.
tions. On Monday he appeared to be all
right, and probably the next time he
wants to kill himself he will HE himself
away to the banks of the Missouri and
not invite his friends to attend his last
moments. The cause Of this rash act OF
Charles has not been definitely ascer-
tained, and owing to our insufficient
knowledge of all circumstances connec.
ted with Mr.. Parker's alleged interfer.
ence with the marital relations of one OF
our citizens, we. forebear making any
comments at present. Mr.. Parker had
been on little tare for few days pre-
vious to his attempt on his own life and
made some very foolish remarks which il
true gre calculated to make trouble in
one OF our families.

The Frencl cabinet WIN Propose Amnesl

The French Cabinet Will Propose Amnesty.
Paris, June l8.-At meeting Of sena-
tors and deputies to discuss the amnesty
question, when some senators expressed
the opinion that the amnesty bill would
fail in the senate, De Freycinet said:
"You place the cabinet in an unprece-
dented position. If we do not accept
amnesty the chamber of deputies will
overturn us, and if we do accept the SEN
ate will overturn us. It would be better
to resign at once" Leon Say, president
of the senate, said: II do not find the
dilemma so great. The senate neither
makes nor unmakes cabinets. The sen.
ate can sometimes hold different view
from our colleagues of the ministry, even
on questions of Importance, without
overturning them" On this hint, which
was approved by the senators present
De Freycinet declared that the govern
ment would propose amnesty.

years older than Hebe, and come with
her to this country. The mother is very
affectionate towards her offspring, and
inclined to regard the approach of
strangers with suspicion. At such
times she raises peculiar cry, to which
all the other elephants respond with
great excitement. The keepers say
that If the baby were threatened with
danger, no chains would be strong
enough to hold them, so overwhelming
is the interest which they manifest in
the little stranger and its mother

"Have you ever seen this neighbor-

That ended the matter, and they turn

The girls body was found afterward,
buried by a creek near at hand. Rachel's
lover had already been arrested on
suspicion. 1t was limited that he had
grown tired of the girl, and for many
reasons found her hard to shake off.
The woman recognized him in crowd
of other men, and startled her compan-
ions still more by pointing out another
young fellow from the. West as his
companion in her dream. The young
man was tried in the town of Washing

brought into court, and an effort was
actually made to put her on the witness
stand, but even then men could not be
hung on the evidence of dream. With
out it there was not enough proof for
conviction, and the jury, unwillingly
enough we may be sure, allowed the
prisoner to escape. 1t was held as a
positive proof of his guilt that he imme-
diately married the sister of the other
accused man and removed to Ohio, then
the wilderness of the West.

A Baby Elephant.

A very interesting event-the birth of
a baby elephant-took place at the cir
Gus stables of Cooper q Bailey, Phila-
delphia, early in the morning of March
10. The Importance of the affair to the
world of science will be realized when
it is stated that 1t is the first authenti-
Gated instance of the kind that has ever
taken place among these animals in
state of captivity. 1t is said that sim
liar event occurred in London some time
during the last century, but there is no
positive proof in regard to it.
At the sides of the stable.room where
this little creature was born were num-
ber of large elephants chained to posts,
while Hebe, the mother, was chained in
the centre of the room, where she was
safe from molestation. The moment
the baby was born, the other elephants
set up tremendous believing, threw
their trunks about, wheeled around,
stood on their hind.legs, and cavorted
and danced in the highest glee, as
though they had gone mad. The ex-
element communicated itself to Hebe,
and she became almost frantic. With
terrific plunge she broke the chains and
ropes which held her, and grasping up
the little baby elephant with her trunk,
threw it about twenty yard across the
room, letting it fall near a large hot
Somewhere fire is always kept burn
ing-then followed with mad rush,
believing and lashing her trunk as
though she would carry everything be-
fore her.
The keeper, who was on watch alone,
fled for his life, and not a moment too
soon. Around the stove was stout
timber railing, against which Hebe
charged with such effect that she re-
duced it to kindling-wood i'm short order.
Not stopping here, she struck the stove,
and knocked it into the position of the
Leaning Tower of Pisa in an instant,
and badly smashed the pipe. The keep
er meantime had given the alarm, and
three or four others coming to his as
sistance, the animal was, after some
trouble, secured and chained to the post
again.
The other elephants meanwhile kept
believing and lashing their trunks, as
if to welcome the little stranger. At
tendants gently led it back to the moth
er, and the keepers and Others who had
been attracted by the unusual commo-
ton at once became interested in nurs-
ing it. 1t would run about with its
mouth open, very much like young
colt. The old elephant would not stand
still long enough to suckle it, being con-
stantly swaying about, SO the keepers
hit on the happy expedient of procuring
funnel, and a rubber tube about yard
in length. Inserting one end of the
tube in the baby's mouth, they fed it by
milking into the funnel at the other
end, the little newcomer taken its sus-
tenance with relish, until it declared
it could take no more by promptly jerk
ing its mouth away. Later in the day,
however, the baby proceeded to feed
itself by the natural source provided for
it. Throwing back its trunk, the baby
applied its mouth to the mothers breast,
and fed itself in perfectly natural and
easy manner. Writers of to-day have
held that the young elephant uses its
trunk in the process of sucking, while
ancient writings were directly TO the
