Probably Suicide.

Thursday morning, about 8 O'Clock;
Robert Doonan, of Eureka township,
about eight miles from Great Bend,
shot himself in the head, evidently
with intention to kill himself. DR..
Shaw was called out right after dinner
and up to the hour of going to press
we are unable to learn whether or not
the man will live.
There is an ugly story Of disreput-
able matters leading up to this rash
act. It is reported that certain par-
ties put up job to rob Doonan, and
succeeded in relieving him of several
hundred dollars. The story goes that
a flake" foot race was arranged and
pulled off at Ellin wood the first of the
week, Doonan being induced to bet
from $500 to $500 ready money and
team and wagon on the losing runner.
It is also reported that the team and
part of the money has been recovered
from the sharpers-some of whom live
in Great Bend. ~

PARIS DEADBEArs.
Gain Admission to Theaters on Passes
of Celebrities.

The recent arrest of a man who
tried to beat his way into Paris thea
ters by representing himself as Henry
Fouquier, the dramatic critic of the
Figaro, recalls good story of the
famous caricaturist Grevin.
He rarely attended the theater, and
had never been in the ies-Bergere,
though his name had been on its COM
'plimentary list for years.
One evening he presented himself
nat the music hall and gave his name.
j. fsGrevin, the artist?" asked the
ticket taker.
eyes, of course"
*sYou can't play that game here,
my friend. We know Grevin too we'll.
Why, he has been here almost every
night for the last five years."
There is a still better story of the
composer, Boieldieu, who was on the
free list of the Theater Franchise, but
seldom went thither.
One evening he appeared at the
box office, accompanied by young
lady. Buying a ticket for her he
handed it to the gateman and gave
his own name.
ooh, yes, that's good joke" said
the ticket taker. owe don't mind it
much. We are used to it. But to-
night, you see, it won't work, for M.
Boieldieu has just gone in, and is
now sitting in his usual seat in the
orchestra. APhiladelphia Press.

Travelling Acquaintances.

Acquaintance are quickly made
and as quickly ended in a Pullman.
Mems ways lie in such diverse direc-
tions, and the hours of contact are
often so short, that no one can afford
to be either ungracious or exclusive.
The "buttoned-up' misses the best
part of travelling. He is like camera
with the cap on-he never gets a
new impression, says Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly. The man with the
shutters of his ears thrown wide and
the lids of his eyes tied back gets a
new one every hour. If, in addition
to this, he wears the lens of his heart
upon his sleeve, and will adjust it so
as to focus the groups around him
it may be a pair of lovers, or some
tired mother, or happy child, or lone
ly wayfarer or a Waffle will often
get picture of JOY, or sorrow, or hope
life dramas all-which will not only
enrich the dull hours of travel, but
viii leave impressions on the mind
Fhich can be developed later into the
richest and tepderest memories of his
life.

A STRANGER in town one pleas
ant day recently, when there
were several hundred farmers
with their families in town doing
holiday trading, remarked that
he "never saw a farming COM

matter of congratulation to the
people that they can enjoy the
pleasant luxuries Of comfortable
carriages, surries and buggies.
There is a whole lot of difference
between the rigs you see on the
streets now and the ones the

that those who claim that majority of
our people who sympathize with the
Beers are right. The lecture, which
abounds with arguments showing why
