Desperate Attempt at Suicide.

Frank T.. Martin, laborer employed
at South GAINESVILLE, stood before mir
rnr IN his room Monday evening and de-
liberately slashed himself six times
acrossthe throat with razor.
His agonizing groans attracted fellow
boarders and when they entered the
room there stood Martin with razor in
hand and blood streaming down his shirt
front.
After the blood stained razor had been
taken from the wood-be suicide, call
was sent to the police station and Officer
Champion responded, taking Martin to
the station.
At the station Chief Appleby at once
summoned DR.. Charles Sutherland after
placing Martin in cell.
Then the police had another puzzle to
solve, for Martin had been behind the
bars but few minutes when the calls Of
fellow prisoner summoned the officers
to the cell of Martin where they found
that the would-be suicide had unlaced
one OF his shoes and after removing
strong rawhide string he had placed it
about his bleeding throat and then tied
the other end to the open iron slat on
the top of his CELL The job would have
been successful one mad mot the officers
cut him down just in time.
Martin resided in the east before COM
ing to GAINESVILLE and is man of about
35 years of age and apparently one who
has seen better days. Recorder.

Myers Opera House Dec. 5.

"Happyland" is the promising name OF
an undiscovered comic opera land thru
which Mr. De Wolf Hopper is leading
personally conducted tourist parties.
Mr.. Hopper in such capacity will surely
prove something amusing to the theater
goers, for he knows the ropes" so to
speak. In the past, he has never gone
astray in the comic opera world or led
others to follow, save where the eye and
ear could both be capitally entertained
at once.
ssHappyland's" claim as real comic
opera will be found in it's genuine bril-
liancy of witty dialogue and catchy
music. Mr.. Koven has supplied an
opening number which is classical to a
high degree, requiring symphony or
chestra for proper portrayal. Many OF
the following numbers are of that jingl-
ing, captivating kind that makes you
want to whistle or sing. The story is
fully in keeping with the excellent music
and does not consist of mass of inter
polated puns and stale gags. Every
feature OF both the book and score bear
the ear marks of originality-a fact for
which we should all be thankful. A
company of nearly one hundred artists,
including Marguerite Clark, is required
to properly portray the different parts of
the opera. The production is complete
in every detail and an attraction of more
than ordinary merit will surely be the
case when "Happyland' visits the Myers
theater, Evansville, Thursday Dec. 9th.

Death of an Early Pioneer.

In the death of Gunder T. Mandt at
Stoughton Sunday night, one Of the
early Scandinavian settlers of Dane Co.
has passed from this life. The deceased,
who was one of the best known Norweg-
ian pioneers in southern Wisconsin, was
born in Norway in 1928. He came to
Wisconsin with party OF relatives in 1913
and settled in the town OF Pleasant
Springs. This party was the first from
that section of Norway to make the long
trip to America They left their home
community in May, 1843, and after wait
ing for two weeks in couple Of harbors
for other emigrants, they sailed for
Havre, France, where they had to wait
eighteen days for ship bound for the
United States. The trip across the At
lantic to New York took nine weeks.
From New York they went to Albany by
steamboat, thence by canal boat through
the Erie canal to Buffalo, and finally by
steam boat again to Milwaukee, from
which city they walked to Koshkonong
where they arrived in September. A
couple of winters soon after his arrival
here he worked in Chicago, making the
two trips on foot both ways, and work
ing in what was then an insignificant
town for seventy five cents day on his
own board. After his marriage Mr..
Mandt was engaged in farming until
1870, when he moved into the village Of
Stoughton and went into partnership
with his nephew, large, he himself sell
ing the first two carloads of wagons put
out at the little factory.
Notwithstanding his advanced years,
Mr. Mandt has been attending to his
duties as shipping clerk at the Slough
ton wagon works until about three
months ago, when he began to fail, and,
for some weeks before his death he
was confined to bed.
