Disappointed Suitor Tries to Suicide

DQSappOl0CeU Su1VOC 1E1co W SuCAuC'
Aiken, June 15.-Late yesterday
evening Ed. O'Neil, of Charleston, at
tempted to commit suicide here by
drinking several drams OF laudanum.
The quick presence Of physician
saved his life, though the man avows
his intention of yet committing the
rash act. He was placed in the city
jail last night to prevent him carry
ing out his avowed intentions.
O'Neil is a young man, who came
to Aiken from Charleston. He has
been in the city for some time. Sev-
eral days ago he was heard to say
that he intended taking his own life.
Yesterday evening he went into
Halls drug store, on Main street, and
said he had toothache and bought
some laudanum for the purpose, he
said, Of casting it. He then seated
himself at q table and called for a
soft drink from the soda fountain.
Instead Of drinking from the soda
glass he drank about half the con-
tents Of the laudanuna bottle and in
a few moments he arose, threw a
note across the counter to the clerk
and swooned. A physician was with
him in a moment and after great
deal of effort he was made to drink
an emetic, and soon recovered from
the effects of the laudanum. But he
still insisted that he would kill him
self, saying he would jump from the
hotel window. Accordingly he was
locked up for the night. The note
was addressed to a young lady OF
this city, and disappointment in love
seems to have weighed too heavily
on his mind.

Gentry Brothers Dog and
Pony Circus Pleases Great
Throngs.

Bigger and better than ever, the
Gentry Brothers United Shows will
return to Bluefield Wednesday
April 2S, and will give two perfor-
mances at 2 and d. m.
There are no waits in the show
the performance moves rapidly an
the center ring is kept occupied all
the time. There is a herd OF per.
forming elephants, several camels
and small menagerie In addition
to the Shetland ponies and the dogs
and monkeys. Aside from one high
diving act by fluffy little dog, al
the acts are given on the ground
After the grand parade around the
interior OF the tent, the show stars
with the introduction of about fifty
Shetland ponies IN tableaux, repre-
senting different countries. Thei.
pyramid posing and complicated
marches made good impression
and from that point on to the end oI
the concert-yes, there Is a concert
the Gentry Brothers pleases avery
one. Speaking Of misunderstanding
worth while mentioning that this is
ar innovation. for instead of a chea I
vaudeville performance, the concert
consists OF an entertainment by ed
ucated monkeys.
The Shetland ponies are much u
evidence. They go through mill.
tary drill, perform tricks and give =
high school performance. Every
pony is fat, sleek and well groomea
the animals showing the best of care
The dogs are numerous and tricky
too. Hounds leap over high barrier!
and other varieties of dogs go thru
waltzes, barrel stunts, racing and
| about everything else that a canin'
can be trained to do. There are mon
keys who ride ponies and who drive
horses and run dog cart with a
happy family of passengers.
The last act Of the dogs and mon
keys is the burning of a hotel, the
| fire being extinguished by a dog an 4

ceived his early education In the
private schools OF Amherst and d.
Lynchburg college.
When the war came on he organ
lied the Buckingham Rangers and
led them CALAMITY TO tho end Of
the struggle, having been several
times severely wounded.
Captain Patteson had been n
prominent figure In the public eye
