An Epidemic of Suicides,

New York, Oct. Lieutenant
Commander William V. Bonaugh,
of the United States navy, commit
ted suicide today on the battleship
Keasage at the navy yard by blowing
out his brains witch revolver.
Friends OF Commander Bonaugh be-
lieve that he was very much worried
over the manifold duties Of his posi-
tlon as executive officer, which are
considered to be more arduous than
those OF any other position OF rank
in the navy. Captain Harrington OF
the Booklyn navy yard said:
There Is an epidemic Of suicide In
the navy. as surely as there was ever
an epidemic OF fever. Such a thing
may occur and can be explained.
The man has probably been thinking
OF the other suicides. which are very
sad affairs, and then in an unguard-
ed moment the desire to try 1T seized
him and it was all over in min
ute.
Commander Bronaugh was born In
Kentucky and entered the naval
academy In 1873.

Stage r1ansger Kills Wife

New York, Sept. 30.-Harry Rose,
stage manager Of the Garrick theatre
shot and instantly killed his wife
Monday at their apartments In West
Thirtythird street Immediately af-
forwards he surrendered himself at
the nearest police station, where he
handed the revolver to the sargent,
saying 81 have just shot my wife. :"
Jealousy was the cause Of the trag-
edy, Rose, according to his statement
to the police having detected his
wife in an intrigue and bsing mad
dened by her admission Of guilt.
Mrs. Rose was formerly an actress
and was known on the stage as Belle
Berger.
The man charged by Rose with
having a.ienated the auections of
his wife is Samuel ADAMS, a wealthy
real estate dealer and a constant att
tendant at first night performances
with whom Rose was on terms of
friendly intimacy and whom he says
he introduced to his wife.
Adams was greatly overcome on
learning of Mrs. Roses tragic death,
but denied that there had been any
improperly in his relations with her.
Rose was held without bail by the
coroner and committed to the tombs
The couple had been married four
teen years.

Young Woman Courts Death.

Tecumseh, Neb., Sept. 30.-Mrs
Young, wife OF Ellis Young, pros
porous farmer who resides five miles
northeast of Tecumseh, made futile
attempt to commit suicide last Mon
day night. When her husband re-
turned from his chores In the early
evening he found her in bed in an
unconscious condition with partly
empty strychnine bottle and a spoon
near by He hastily summoned DR..
T. E Fairall from this city and with
proper antidCtes the woman's life
was saved. She had taken gener
GUS dose Of the poison.
Mr.. Young is man fully seventy
years old while she not over twenty
five. They have been married but
two years, and he has grandchildren
nearly as old as his present wife.
Mrs. Young would not give her mo-
tive for the attempt at self distruct-
ion. 1t is said that her husband is
kind to her and they apparently get
along well.
She is quoted as saying that she ia
| not entirely satisfied with her NATAL
relations prohabl be ng disappointed
with her husband only by the re-
markable difference In aye. or late
she has been remorseful and sulen
and at another time about month
ago she threatened to kill herself.
In the dead of night it is said she
took her husbands razor and stole
out to the barn and when found she
was crying and intimated she de-
sired to die.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Young are we'll
known in this vicinity and enjoy
good regulations and this rash act on
the part OF the woman is much re-
gre tied by friends.

tine. In July report was submitted
to the county board covering the four
year term of ex-Treasurer II. b. Sing
from 1895 to 1902, finding a shortage
OF S6,079, which Mr.. Sing promptly
settled. Notwithstanding the official
report has not been made public yet,
it is currently charged and quite well
understood that the report when made
public this week covering the two
terms of ex.treasurer Il. +. Ieigler,
from 1894 to 1893 will declare short
age of considerably over $4,000. or
this amount the report will say no
small amount belongs to the state and
very large sum to the county school
funds.
Mr.. Zeigler's first term was secured
by personal bond and his second by
bond given by the Fidelity and De-
posit company of Maryland, 1t is as
serted that practically all OF the al
legged shortage occurred during hissec-
ord term. Accountant Gilchrist or

will return this week and make a

of the bond company. Il. cannon
being west on his summer vacation
the investigation OF Mr.. Zeigler's rec
ord was made entirely by Valentine,
who is given credit for unearthing the
matter, inasmuch as Zeigler's accounts
were inspected and approved by the
state examiner. The bond examiner
settlement was made by him without
the board Of commissioners.
Owing to Mr.. Zeigler's prominence
in political circles, he having repre-
sented the Eighth senatorial district
in the last legislature, these disclosures
have startled the entire community
and surprised his friends. Mr.. Zeig-
