GRIZZLY IN AN INCUBATOR.
Baby Bear Found Nearly Frozen in
the Zoo.

New York, Jan. 20.-Two births and a
death was the Bronx Zoos Sunday con-
tribution to the city's vital statistics.
Two new born grizzly bears were found
in the morning in the cage occupied by
a pair of the big animals, Engineer and
Vira, as they are known by the keep
ers. One of them had been frozen to
death in the night The other was
barely breathing. The keepers and
Physician Blair of the Zoo, decided that
the survivor was in a bad way and
would need careful nursing. Grizzlies
born in captivity are rare and a special
effort was made to save the youngster.
Keeper Alexander Ferguson took it
home and placed it in his wife's care.

RAN WITH CLOTHES AFIAME.
A Helpless Husband Watches His Wife
Attempt Suicide.

Independence, Kan, Jan. 2O-With
clothing afiame, the married daughter
of the Widow Hudiberg residing in the
Peebler district northwest of town late
in the evening ran from her mothers
house across an 80-acre field toward
the high banks of Elk river
Her husband who has for some time
been confined to his bed from serious
Illness from his room saw his wife de-
liberately set fire to her skirt In a
moment she enveloped in flame With
an Outcry he arose from his bed and
started toward her. Perceiving herself
detected, the wife took to flight In his
weakened condition he was unable to
follow.
The alarm was sent to Curtis Roark.
a neighbOr who set out in pursuit Of
the fleeing woman. Young Krienhagen
a farmer boy residing in the nefghbor-
hood, saw ROark running and inquired
as to the cause. Hurried explanations
led to his joining in pursuit. Seeing
herself thus pursued, the woman di-
verted her course from the river bank
and sought the woods. She was soon
overtaken. Her clothing was almost en-
tirely burned from her body but her
flight had prevented her choking by
the flames
The woman is apparently of sound
mind and no cause for this strange
freak of desperation is known. Just
previously she had left the room of
her husband, but no evidence Of a
quarrel or misunderstanding between
them were known.
She is the mother of two small chill
dren. 1t is thought that her purpose
in running toward the river was, on
reaching the high banks, to make
plunge in hope of drowning herself be-
fore her pursuers reached her. Her
husbands outcry warned her that, if
suicide were her purpose, she would be
frustrated in the attempt to suffocate

Topeka has improved during the
past few months. There is a subtle
change for the better. and a cores

home. Even the resident mem bers

There are ether important reasons
why the ''split primary bill should
be ditched. Uncle Cy Leland and lit
tie Edgar Fisher are both opposed to
it, and have voiced their displeasure.
The displeasure of Uncle Cy and Little
Edgar should have great weight in
the senate, the ddspleasure of Little
Edgar in particular.
"They call me the kid of this
house, said Little Edgar a year ago,
as he rose to deliver his maiden
speech. Just then the speaker recog-
nfzed another member as having the
floor, and the kid member dropped out
of sight. But that was a year ago,
and Little Edgar is no longer a kid
1t is rumored that his vote is actually
counted this winter.
Therefore, senators, beware! Fisher
is opposed to the split primary. Back
up, while there is yet time.
