Elegant weather, yes elegant, but
really, we have had so much of it of late
that we are beginning to feel restless,
and desirious of a change. 1t may
appear anomalous, but it is true just the
same, that people do sometimes wax
weary under the most favorable condi.

noxious the good times Of the early
nineties became to the masses, and how
eagerly they worked for a change. How

Judge G. w. Clark, a pioneer resident
Of Rapid City, made al attempt to take
his own life on Sunday last, by cutting
his throat with a pocket knife, which
being too dull to be dangerous, failed to
do its deadly work, and the result was
n failure SO far as suicide was concerned.
The Judge had been brooding over his
troubles for some time, which it is be-
lieyed resulted in the slipping Of a cog
in his mental balance wheel, and caus
ed him 10 make the futile attempt to
sever the frail tread Of life.
