    WISER THAN NATURALISTS.

Iloupo, our of the Mt; black buffaloes
t tke .New York zoological park, hat
Ina nuspt'ct'-d of lusanlly. He lial
1hh the most uerrous creature about
tbe park. No sooner would he He down
ki a uuny corner of Li Held to auooze
than up he would leap, snorting, and
with ahaklug head charge some invis
ible creature across the pasture.
A naturalist who visited the park
watched the great brute through his
spectacles for a time aud then gave it
as his opinion that the process of shed
ding the hair brought about a sort of
mild insanity .and that, all aniuialg
were likely to suffer from It In the
spring.
Micky O'Brien was an Interested wit
ness of tbe wild buffalo's prankg the
other afternoon. Micky Is not a naturalist-but
he Is natural. He is only
13 years old and vowed that It was
as good us tbe wild west show to see
the occasional spurts of Kouieo, suys
the New York World. The greut prairie
lawn mower had been quietly compos
ing himself for sleep In a shady corner
for some time. Suddenly he leaped
tip aud tore down the Hue toward the
borne base as If there were three men
on bases and It wag two strikes.
Mickey watched the buffalo carefully.
As noon as the creature got composed
Rtfain-wblsk! he was off down the
field.
"I have It!" yelled Micky, enthusias
tically. "I know what alls him. There'i
a summer yallcr bird up in them bushes
building a nest and he's trying to steal
hair o-JT the buffalo's back. Watch him
cow.1"
And sure enough, as soon as the
weary buffalo got nicely settled down
for another snooze tbe little summei
yellow bird, about as big as a canary,
came fluttering down and tried to pull
off a piece of the loose fur about the
great bovlne's shoulders. The sharj
claw or the tickle of the little feet on
the almost bare skin aroused the buf
falo and away he went. The yellow
bird flew up to hi nest with a little sofi
hair for nest lining.

CONDITION.
UNABLE TO GIVE ALARM
Theory That Hnakand Committed Sni.

Wa a Friend of Drryfua.
Paris, Sep. 30. Emlle Zola, the
novelist, wbo gained additional
prominence la recent years because
of big defence of the Jews and of
Former Captain Drefyus, was found
dead in bis Paris house Monday
morning. Asphyxiation resulting
from the fumes from a stove in his
bedroom is given as the cause of
death.
M. Zola and his wife retired at 10
o'clock Sunday night. Mme. Zola
was seriously ill when the room was
broken into. At about oood she was
removed to a private hospital, where
the recovered consciousness for a
short time and was able briefly to ex
plain to a magistrate what had hap
pened M. and Mme. Zola returned to Paris
from their country house at Medan
yesterday. Owing to a sudden spell
of cola weather the heating stove in
their bedroom was ordered to be
lighted. The stove burned badly and
the pipes are said to have been out
of order.
To the magistrate Mme. Zola ex
p'alned that she woke early this
morning with a splitting headache.
She awakened her husband and listed
him to opeD a window. She saw htm
Use and attempt to move towards a
window, but he staggered and fell to
the floor unconscious. Mme. Zola
fainted at the same moment and was,
therefore, unable to give the alarm
Mme. Zola does not yet know of
her hubsand's death, and it is feaicd
she may suffer a relapse when in
formd of it.
The death of M. Zola, which only
became generally known late this af
ternoon, has caused a great sensation
in Paris, and this evening there was
a constant stream of callers at tbe
residence.

Monday at their apartments in West
Thirty-third street Immediately af
terwards he surrendered himself at
the nearest police station, where be

saying "I have just shot my evife. "
Jealousy was the cause of the trag
edy, Rose, according to bis statement
to the police having detected his

dened by her admission of guilt.
Mrs. Rose was formerly an actress
and was known on tbe stage as Ilclle
liergcr.

real estate dealer and a constant at
tendant at first night performances,
with whom Rose was on terms of

Impropriety In his relations with her.
Rose was held without ball by tbe
coroner and committed to the tombs.
The couple had been married four
teen years.

CLAIM8 TO FIND 8HORTAOE.
Stat Senator Zeis or stay be Asked to
fcx plain.
nartlngton, Neb., Sept 30 Last
April an investigation of tbe Cedar
county treasurer's records was begun
by Accountants Cannon and Valen
tine. In July a report was submitted
to tbe county board covering tbe four
year term of ex-Treasurer II. B. Sing
from 1894 to 1902, finding a shortage
of 16,079, 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 T. F. Zelgler,
from 1894 to 1898 will declare a short
age of considerably over t20,000. Of
this amount the report will say no
small amount belongs to tbe state and
a very large sum to the county school
funds.
Mr. Zelgler's first term was secured
by a personal bond and his second by
a bond given by tbe Fidelity and De
posit company of Maryland. It is as
serted that practically all of the al
leged shortage occurred during hissec
oi.d term. Accountant Gilchrist of
Omaha and was here last week in the
Interest of tbe securities company and
will return this week and make a
thorough investigation of the second
tersn of Mr. Zelgler's records In behalf
of the bond company. T. Cannon
being west on his summer vacation
the Investigation of Mr. Zelgler's rec
ord was made entirely by Valentine,
wbo Is given credit for unearthing the
matter, inasmuch as Zelgler'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. Zelgler's prominence
In political circles, he having repre
sented the Eighth senatorial district
in the last legislature, these dlclosures
have startled the entire community
and surprised his friends. Mr. Zelg
ler's home at the present time is Iola,
Kas. In response to the earnest ln
treaties of hi friends he came to Hart
lngton last Friday evening, returning
to Omaha Saturday with Accountant
Gilchrist Persons who are in a po
sition to know bestaboutMr. Zeigler's
financial condition claim that he has
sufficient property interest in Kansas
and elsewhere to make the alleged
shortage good, and he will undoubtedly
make an effort to do so.
It is definitely stated that ex-Treasurer
Peter Jenal, who held the office
for the two year term immediately
preceeding Mr. Zelgler has reques'ed
the county commissioners to investi
gate te records of his administra
tion. Young Woman Courts Death.
Tecumseh, Neb., Sept. 30. Mrs.
Young, wife of Ellis Young, a pros
perous farmer who resides five miles
northeast of Tecumseh, made a 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 a partly
empty strychnine bottle and a spoon
nearby. He hastily summoned Dr.
T. E. Falrall from this city and with
foper antidotes the woman's life
was saved. She had taken a gener
ous dose of the poison.
Mr.
Young is a asao f Li" j seventy
years old while she not over twenty
Ave. They have been married but
two yenrs, and he has grandchildren
nearly as old as bis present wife.
Mrs. Young would not give her mo
tive for tbe attempt at self distruct
ion. It is said that her husband Is
kind to her and they apparently get
along well.
She Is quoted as saying that she is
not entirely satisfied with her matial
relations probably be n disappointed
with her husband only by the re
markable difference lu age. Of late
she has been remorseful and sullen
and at another time about a month
ago she threatened to kill herself.
In the dead of night it is said she
took her husband's razor and stole
out to the barn and when found she
was crying and intimated she de
sired to die.
Doth Mr. and Mrs. Young are well
known in this vicinity and enjoy
good reputations and this rash act on
the part of tbe woman is much re
gretted by friends.

cere Calls It Act of Charity.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1. An unsoiled
printed slip of directions for using
"Ros1 rat poison" has been dis
covered by detectives in one of the
rooms of the Culhbertson residence.
1806 Chieago street, where Edward
Cuthbertsou. a telegrapher, and tbe
members of his family of four were
poisoned at breakfast Sunday morn
ing. The sugar which is supposed to
have contained the bulk of the poison
has disappeared.
As a novelist would say, "the plot
thickens."
Mr. Cuthbertson, Interviewed at
his home this morning said:
"Yes, we are all recovering irom
tbe attempt at our lives, and while
the thing was unfortunate, yet we
consider ourselves as very fortun
ate in escaping. We are all stiff and
sore and scarcely able to move, bu1;
jail are out of bed.
' "We gave the suspected coffee and
milk to the police for chemical
analysis, but when I went to get tbe
sugar for the same purpose it hid
disappeared. We threw the stuff out
at first, but later scraped up what
we could for use of the police. I
want this thing sifted down to the
bottom.
"There is a young man rooming
here who is something of a chemist.
Yesterday he remarked that he would
take this sugar and closely examine
It, but nothing more was said about
it. The sugar was here after he left
tbe room. And last night it had
disappeared. This young man may
have .taken it to analyze it, and I
have not seen it this morning.
"But we will do everything possi
ble to discover tbe miscreants, and
will punish them, if possible." Tbe
milk and coffee is in the hands of Dr.
Stores of the Omaha medical college,
to whom It was sent for a chemical
analysis. The examination is ex
pected to be handed to the police de
partment. The finding of the wrapper and
directions of the rat poison is looked
upon as an important item in the
search for the poisoner. The mo
tives of tbe poisouer arc as much a
mystery as ever.
An Epedemlc of Suicides,
New York, Oct. 1. Lieutenant
Commander William V. Ronaugh,
of tbe United States navy, commit
ted suicide today on tbe battleship
Keasage at tbe navy yard by blowing
out bis brains with a revolver.
Friends of Commander Honaugh be
lieve that he was very much worried
over the manifold duties of his posi
tion as executive officer, which are
considered to be more arduous than
those of any other position of rank
In tbe 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 bs explained.
The man has probably been thinking
of the other suicides, which are very
lad affairs, and then In an unguard
ed moment the desire to try it seized
him and it was all over in a min
ute. Commandor Bronuugh was born In
Kentucky and entered the naval
academy in 1873.

anyway. I don't care much vba
they do." These were the words of
Gottieb Neige:innd as he lay no a cot
in a cell lu the p dice station Tues
day night, lie was suffering from
wounds received wiicn be was cap
tured, bu L lie li.'n recovered sufficient
ly to bs t ik'-n back to the couoty
where he killed Ills wife and her fath
er to stand lii.il. Sheriff JoneS of
I'leiee ui'i:nty culled fo.- him Wednes
day. He was at- t.jc penitentiary and
as the sheriff desired to leave on the
early morning Eikborn train be
bt uglit the prisoner to the police
sti'Jun to be held over uighi.
;in any event he intends to protect
him from any attumpt at mob vlo
lnce. Neigenfind will be arraigned
lor his preliminary on Monday next
and a special term of court will be
held on October 29. at which he may
be tried.
"I iccelved good care at the peni
tentiary," he said. "There they
washed my wounds every little while
; d 1 gave roe plenty to eat. It is a
good place to stay." "The doctor at
the penitentiary told me that I nev
er would be able to do heavy work
again. I have a bullet in my hip
aud the wound In my arm is running
all tbe time. I fear blood poisoning
will set in. It might save me much
pain if they would hang me."
He was questioned about the mur
ders and showed no disposition to
avoid that subject. He said that be
bad been working in Kansas wheat
fields and later in Dodge county,
t h is state, before going to Pierce
county. He has two brothers in that
county. He had a desire to see his
boy, a little fellow born eight months
after he and bis wife parted. She
had sued him for a divorce. He
went to bis father-in-law's farm and
asked to see the baby. His wife and
sister refused him. Then he told
them he would come back when the
"old man" was at home. He went
there a little later and found Breyer
there. He asked to see the boy and
the old man took after him with a
pitchfork. He forced Neigenfind in
to a corner and struck at him. Then
Neigenfind pulled the gun on Breyer
and warned him not to advance.
Breyer said "you won't shoot and
struck at him again, running one of
the points' of the fork into Neigen
find's finger. Then Neignefind fired.
The shot made Breyer pause but
be made a lur.ge at Niegenfind and
the gun was emptied, with Breyer
less than a rod away from bis slayer.
He walked away slowly but did not
fall Just then.
"I run around the end of tbe
barn," said Neigenfind, "and was
loading my gun when my wife came
around with the pitchfork in her
hand. She started for me and I told
her to keep away. She never halted.
I fired at her. She partly dropped
but got up and ran after me again.
I suppose I could have got away from
her but I was excited and I shot at
her again. That time tbe bullet
struck her over the left eye and she
fell.
"I am sorry I killed my wife. 1
didn't mean to kill anybody when I
went to the farm. I had a little gun
that I bought when I was in Dodge
county The old man crowded m:
with tbe fork and had to shoot him
to save my life. I would have taken
a forty-five calibre gun if I had in
tended to kill anybody.
"No I never shot at my mother-in-law.
The sheriff tells me that she
was struck by a bullet but I never
shot at her. She must have got in
range while I was shooting at the
others.
"That story about me assaulting
Lena, my wife's sister, was wrong.
I never met her at all. She was on
the other side of the fence as I went
down the road and I heard her cry
ing, but I dldn t touch her. I read
about that in the papers. It's all a
lie
He showed much Interest in the
questions put to him and answered
them Unreservedly. There was noth
ing he would not tell. He seemed to
enjoy talking about it. When the
conversation was ended he turned
over on the rot with his face toward
the w.ill and sighed. It was the ac
tion of a man In pain but careless as
to what the future held for him. He
was sorry the murders had been com
mitted but he said he was Justified
in protecting himself.
"Yes, it was a bad day for me,"
he said. "No, 1 was not crazy. I
whs excited of course while the shoot
ing was going on. but 1 was not in
sane." Speaking of his capture he
said they didn't give him much
chance else he would have got away.
"Before I knew what they wanted
with me they began shooting.
