Animals Commit Suicide

'DO animals commit suicide?" was
asked OF man who for 80 years was
head animal man of the zoo of a great
circus.
Yes, animals do commit suicide" be
replied, land often for the same reasons

these are loneliness, inconsistencies, loss
of mates or children, and ill health.

Big doings at the Athletic Park to-

first one is particularly interesting be-
cause, while the Marines have won only
one game, this one was against the
Beers who now head the league.
Then again these two have already
fought a nineteen-i inning game to a
tie and there is strenuous rivalry be-
tween the two aggregations. The seq

The Second Game.

The play started out in keen ana
snappy way and both sides went out
one. two and three until the fourth
period when the Rams scored one.
Desha reached second on McCall's err
ror Andrews skied but Kekaha was
safe on Bob Chilingworth IS error.
They both stole a base and Lota
bingled Desha home.
Four runs in the fifth inning for
the Rams and it began to look like a
balloon ascension. Murray blngled
and Milikaa walked him to second.
Naeole walked, hit by the ball, and
the bases were full. Then up came
Andrews with great triple that sent
all three of the base runners home.
He came home himself a little later
on Wilmington 5 error This made the
score to 0.
But the Puns began to work in the
sixth Hampton doubled and went to
third on ba1k. Arcia famed and

In the seventh inning Ordenstein

SCHEME HAS WORKED
FOR SEVERAL YEARS
Dining Gar Grew Struggles Chi
namen Into Chicago.

Chicago, May 1O.-In connection
with the arrest at Ell Paso, Tex, of
three members of a dining car crew
charged with assisting in the snug
Cling Of Cinnamon into this country
Assistant District Attorney Sims
stated that between 200 and 800 Celes-
tails had been brought from Ell Paso
concealed in dining car.
1.-TWO Cinnamon week were
brought to Chicago" said Mr.. Sims.
Zone crowd struggled the Celestials
across the border, where they were
turned over to the dining car crew.
This car made one trip a week and
on each trip carried two of the illegal
passengers, one concealed in the ice
chest and the other in linen press.
At Chicago another set of conspira-
tors composed of Chicago Cinnamon
took charge of the importations. The
smugglers were paid $500 or $500 by
each Chinaman brought In and of this
$50 went to the train crew. The
scheme has been working for two OF
three years, but I believe we have
now broken up the traffic."

SULTAN WAS A GOOD SAVER
Had $7,5oo,ooo in Treasury and $15,.
100000 Abroad.

Constantinople, May 10.-Up to the
present time the sum of $4,000 has
been found in the treasury boxes of
the imperial palace at Yildiz, occu-
pied before his deposition by Abdul
Hamfd. Two and half million dol
lars of this is in cash, while $5,00O,000
is in marketable securities, equivalent
to cash. Furthermore, papers we're
found Indicating that Abdul Hamid
has on deposit In Germany, England,
France and the United States up
wards of $15,O0O,000. -.-E..
1t Is understood that the cabinet
takes the attitude that all these for.
eign deposits, as well as the treasury
at Yildiz, are the property of the
state. Two courses are open to the
government respecting these foreign
deposits; one is to obtain them
through legal process and the other
through authorization from Abdul
Hamid himself. It is not believed
that Abdul Hamid will refuse to direct
his agents to pay over these sums,
for the reason that as a prisoner it is
quite impossible for him to make use
Of the money, while by giving it up
he may secure advantages during his
captivity and possibly be given a
share Of the foreign deposits and in
vestments for his family.

time, and Mrs. c.. H. Rhea was
elected as representative of the local
Pythian Sisters. Mrs. Rhea left last

COMPRISE 100000 ACRES
Portions of Two Indian Reservations
to Be Opened.


Pierre, S. D., May 10-The next op-
portunity for the land hungry people
will be in the opening of large por-
ton of the Cheyenne River and Stand
Ing Rock Indian reservations in the
north central part of this state and
extending into North Dakota. The
tract to be opened is, roughly, a hum
dred miles long by fifty miles wide,
with a strip eighteen miles wide ex-
tending eastward for forty miles to
the Missouri river, comprising over
100000 acres Of land. This is in
one Of the best portions of Northern
South Dakota and, unlike the prairie
east of the Missouri river, is well wa
tered by numerous living streams.
The territory to be opened is part
OF the county of Corson, all of
schansse and portions of Dewey and
Armstrong counties. The principal
streams which cross the territory ara
the Moreau and Grand rivers, both
flowing the year round, with their nu-
merous tributary creeks, and the
many tributaries of Cherry creek in
the southern portion of the tract.
Generally it is rolling prairie,
somewhat rougher than the country
generally in the eastern part of the
state, but most of it is tillable land.
The drawings for filings are expect.
ed to occur in October and the sans
rule will probably be applied as was
carried out in Trip county, requiring
the holders of lucky numbers to wait
until the next spring to begin actual
settlement and avoid throwing a mum.
