great astonishment, and his tail dropped as
if somebody had tied a brick to it, In his
bones he felt that it was the old place, but
the painting up sorter paralyzed him. He
sat down to think it over, and all at once he
came over the fence and began to gambo

any longer to fool him.

A telegram was received Tuesday
evening from Toledo, Iowa, bringing
the startling Information that DR.. l..
r. Alderman had attempted to take
his own life by cutting his throat, and
that there were but slight chances for
his recovery. Mr.. Alderman went to
Iowa about two weeks ago to attend to
some business matters. For some
time his friends had noticed his pecu-
liar actions and talk, as though at
times his mind was wandering, and it
Is probable that this rash act was per-
perated during one of these spells.
Domestic difficulties are supposed to
have been the cause. Mr.. Alderman's
family are in Michigan.

Saturdays Match Hunt.

The match hunt among our sports
came off last Saturday according 10
arrangements and proved a decided
success in all respects. The scores on
each side averged considerably over
100, which is rather better than has
heretofore been accomplished, while
some of the individual scores were re.
markably large. The turnout of
hunters was very good and the con.
test quite spirited. Supper served at
the Lawrence House was u first.class
article, and seemed to strike the right
spot judging from the rapidity with
which it disappeared before the angry
onslaught of tho Nimrodian disciples.
The boys want to repeat the hunt after
the first Of October.
