At the same time it is stated that
there are indicatinos of suicide. 1t
is hoped that Nine Zola will survive.
Retired at 10 O'clock.
lola returned to his Paris home
from his country house at Medan, and
owing to a sudden spell of cold wealth
er here, he ordered the heating stove
in his bedroom to be lighted. The
stove burned badly, but lola and his
wife retired at 10 O'Clock at night, and
the servants, not hearing any move
ment in the apartment in the morning,
entered the bedroom at $50 and found
Madame Zola lying on the bed, IMAM
innate. lola was lying half out OF
bed, with his head and shoulders on
the floor and his legs on the bed. Doc
tors were summoned but they failed to
restore lola to life. After prolonged
efforts they resusciated Ma dame lola.
The rumor circulated regarding
Zola's supposed suicide from poison
was based OH the fact that elections
from his stomach were found on the
floor, but the doctors say they came
from Zola's dog, which was also in the
bedroom and which did not suffer as
phyxiation.
Nothing Unusual Heard.
lola dined with good appetite in
the evening and the servants of the
household ate of the same dishes.
Nothing unusual was heard in the bed
room during the night.
Some workmen arrived at the lola
residence at $50 in the morning in or
der to make some repairs in Zola's
bedroom, but the servants had already
become alarmed at hearing no sound
from the room, decided to enter it, and
burst open the door. A slight odor of
carbonic gas was at once noticed and
the bodies of the novelist and his wife
were found in the positions already de-
scribed. lola had evidently been
awakened by choking sensation,
tried to rise, but was overcome by the
fumes, which apparently escaped from
the defective stove. The windows were
Immediately opened, doctors and COM
missary of police were summoned, and
the utmost efforts were made to revive
the novelist and his wife, but the for
mer had already succumbed.

JOSEPH WING.

On Thursday last the burial of an
aged resident of our city took place.
While living in the western part of
the city he had not mingled much
with the people of the city and hence
was not as widely known as some
others who have lived the same
number of years here. AS he
has resided in the city less than two
years, and as his age precluded the
possibility of much activity he was
little known. Joseph Wing was
born in England IS years ago and
married in 1914. Three children
were born to them, one son and two
daughters, Of whom two survive,
Mrs. VIM. Jones and John Wing of
Ellenboro. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. T. j. Brown at
Farview Congregational church and
interment took place in the Hake
cemetery adjoining the church.

see rides in front. A number of the
pupils have learned 10 ride in this
manner. and they get considerable en-
joyment as well as needed exercise
from a spin around the city.
Two boys who are totally blind have
become such good riders that they can
ride the wheel around the school
grounds. The pupils are not permit
ted to ride in dangerous places or
take any chances of an accident,
There are a number of pupils at the
school who can see well enough to
distinguish large objects, but who can
not see to read. Sometimes one Of
these pupils is permitted to occupy
the front seat and guide the bicycle.
Superintendent Jones says that
while visiting blind school in the
east he saw two boys who were total
~ blind. but who could ride bicycle
together over any road with which
they were acquainted.

as If his client was strictly up against
