ALL FOR LOVE.
Young German Girl Finds Release From
Sorrow Of Unretuned Affection.

Young German Girl Finds Release From
Sorrow Of Unretumed Affection.
Unrequited love brought Miss
Emma Merkel to her death, by her
own hand, shortly after 9 o'clock
last night. She formerly lived in
Boerne, where her parents reside
at present, but came to this city to
live with the family of her uncle,
Mr.. Otto Stephan, No. GIG Mata-
moras street.
She was in love with a young
man, whom she believed did not
reciprocate her affections, and be-
came respondent. The fact that a
wedding took place near her house
during the afternoon probably
caused her acute despair at ever
being happy, and procuring a small
amount Of strychina, she ate supper
as usual and then retired to heI
room.
Her groans soon brought the
family to her bedside and they
found her in great agony. A doc,
tor was summoned, but ere he ar
rived she was past recovery and
died shortly after.
Justice Jones held a coroner's
inquest on the remains and rem.
dered verdict in accordance will
the above facts.

The ever popular "a Jay Circus" de-
lighted fair sized audience at Davis
theater yesterday afternoon. 1t is n
good entertainment. Marvellous feats.
good singing, clever impersonations and
sketches from life, made up the show.
Conchita. the California favorite," as
she il called, created u good impression.
She is clever and original. The recita-
ton which she gave after repeated en-
cores was true to life.
"The East Side Bloke and His Girl"
a vaudeville sketch of the Chmmie
Fadden order, by Haines and Remng-
ton, brought out much laughter. II Is
the best sketch seen at Davis this sea-
son. Then there is Brown and Watson,
in long jumps; Seaman and Burke do
ing difficult aerial pole balancing, and u
duo of roller skaters. Besides these, the
Brothers Leo give an original comedy
sketch.
Last Of all comes the circus. In the
much abused words of the Snowman
this part of the performance must be
seen to be appreciated.' Sherman and
Morrisey handle the comedy reins in
their usual happy manner. The show
will run for the rest of the week, with
daily and nightly performances. James

After month of child's play and
tomfoolery, the board of city asses

Yoos. the Democratic member. who is
a candidate for reelection, induced
them to put an end to the war.

little else yesterday. but the copitula-

the true motive of the back down was
known, none could be found who
would do ought but greet with jeers
the statement to the effect that the
assessors were prompted in their igno-
minous retreat by their interest in the
welfare of the city.
