Doctor Kills Himself with Gas and Re-
cords HIS Feelings.

Paris, May 10.-A remarkable
suicide is reported here today, in
which the wife of the doctor who
took his own lifestoOk a part. The
suicide took place at Choisy, and
was caused by the doctor being ac-
cused of serious crimes. Realizing
that death would be the penalty if
he were tried, he decided to give
his life up in a scientific manner.
He stationed his wife in an adjoin-
ing room, closed the doors, caulked
the windows and then turned on
the gas. His wife sat in the room
and recorded his remarks regarding
his sensations as death advanced.
At last his words could be no long
er heard, and in a few minutes she
heard his body fall to the floor.
Then she went to the prefect of the
police and told him of the death OF
her husband, the cause and the
manner in which it was accom-

RICH GOLD TIMES.
New Discoveries In AIasks Great
Stampede From Dawson.

San Francisco, May 1O.-The
Examiner prints a story regarding
the new gold discoveries at Point
LONE, in Alaska, which its ad-
vices declare exceed the richness of
those of the Klondike. The strike
is on the Snake river and its tribu-
tarieS, about 20 miles back from
Camp Nome and 120 miles from
st. Michael-just outside the St.
Michael military reservation of the
United States government. The
mines are all in American terri
tory. Reports from miners on the
ground say that it is only six feet
to bed rock and the ground is al
legged to pay from the surface. 4
stampede from Dawson and st.
Michael to the new gold field is
predicted. Leon Sloss, of the
Alaska Commercial company
points out the fact that these dig
gings seem to be in a well defined
belt, which takes in the Klondike
country, the Forty Mile and Circle
City mines, the Koyukuk strikes,
and passes on the Snake river re,
gion into Siberia.
Rich finds are also reported OF
the Koyukuk river, one of tn,
northern tributaries of the Yukon
These are also on American soil.

Trains Chained to Tracks.

Guthrie, Okla, May 10.-Two
freight trains and a passenger
train on the 4. 7. & S. F., road
were stopped by Sheriff Newblock
and an armed force of deputies, at
Norman today and chained to the
track. The engines were locked
and chained and traffic is stopped.
All this property was levied on
to collect 81 900 taxes owed by the
railroad company for 1898. The
company rendered the County
Treasurer all the taxes less a mill
levy for schools, which was in dis
pute. and which the company now
has a suit in court enjoining col
lection.
1t is probable the matter will be
arranged before morning. If not,
all traffic on the Southern division
will be at a standstill.

idea that he mad retired from fear

greatest property of the kind the
