WISER THAN NATURALISTS.
Micky O'Brien Tells What Bothers a. .
Zoo Buffalo.
liomeo , one of tbe big black buffaloes
at the New York zoological park , has
J > een suspected of Insanity. He lias
been tlie most nervous creature about
the park. No sooner would he lie dowu
ki u sunny corner of his Held to snooze
than up he would leap , snorting , and
with shaking 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 and then gave it
as his opinion that the process of shed-
ding the hair brought about a sort of
.inlld insanity and that all animals
Avcre likely to suffer from It in the
spring.
Micky O'Brien was an Interested wit-
3iesB of the wild buffalo's pranks the
other afternoon. Micky is not a nat
uralist but he is natural. lie Is only
13 years old and vowed that It was
as good as the wild west show to see
the occasional spurts of Romeo , says
Xhe New York World. The great prairie
lawn-mower had been quietly compos-
lug himself for sleep In a shady corner
for gome time. Suddenly he leaped
up and tore down the line toward the
Lome base as If there were three men
on bases and it was two strikes.
Mickey watched the buffalo carefully.
As BOOU as the creature got composed
.again whisk ! he was off down the
-tfeld.
v "I have it ! " yelled Micky , enthusias-
Ftically. "I know what ails him. There's
a summer yaller bird up in them bushes
building a nest and he's trying to steal
Jiair c-3 the buffalo's back. Watch him
aow ! "
And sure enough , as soon as the
weary buffalo got nicely settled down
for another snooze the little summer
.yellow bird , about as big as a canary ,
came fluttering down and tried to pull
off a piece of the loose fur about the
ieat boyine's shoulders. The sharp
claws or the tickle of the little feet on
the almost bare skin aroused the buf-
lalo and away he went. The yellovt
-bird flew up to his nest with a little sof i
iair for nest lining.
Romeo is not crazy. He simply ob
Jects to being held up and robbed of his
clothes in broad daylight.
The TVorld Still Needs the Workera
The Torld still needs the workers , thougli
it may sometimes forget
That it owes the weary laborers an ever
lasting debt ;
Without the busy toilers gold would ceast
at once to buy
The things that please the palate or r.r $
grateful to the eye ;
The world still needs the people who rnusl
labor day by day ,
But the world keeps on forgetting , in its
easy-going way.
The lady in her satins , who is beautifa
to see ,
Forgets that those who labor lend hei
nil her witchery ;
Without the busy toilers all the million !
she commands
Would not procure a piece of sceutec
soap to wash her hands ;
Without the busy people who must laboi
all their days
AM her money wouldn't even buy
Jaces for her stays.

If there were no luckless people whc

Without tie ones who labor none coulc

Without the busy toilers all we priz <

Prophecy is one of the simples !
trades in the world. It is said thai
there are only thirty-six original situa
ttons , or independent and distinct se
es of occurrence , known to fact
or fiction. Whether or not this is true
it is true that life is vastly more sim
ple than most people suppose. The
professional prophets , who thrive ir
greater numbers nowadays than they
ever throve before , have only to keep
the simple , elementary combinations ol
circumstance in mind , and assign them
with a good regard to probability , tc
gain a great reputation for seership
It is very easy to be a prophet if one
is never going to be called to account
for all the things that never come true
"Weather Prophets.
Herrings can scent a storm and the
direction in which it is coming. The\
are not able to see the wind like a
pig , but like a pig they can smell nastj
weather. Hence the herrings always
during a storm choose the safest spot
In which to swim. They either go out
to sea or come in very close to laud.
On one occasion the residents rouud
a certain bay saw a shoal of herrings
BO close to the shore that they waded
la and caught the fish with their
hands. Shortly afterward a most vio
lent storm raged over the sea and
wast , but the inner portion of the bay
suffered the least.

EMILEZOLA DEAD
FRENCH NOVELIST ASPHYXIATRO
AT PARIS HOME.
FUMES FROM STOVE KILL
WIFE OVERCOME AND IN SERIOUS
CONDITION.
UNABLE TO GIVE ALARM
Theory That Husband Committed Sul.
clde Not Dome Out by Her Testimony
Was a Friend of Dreyfus.
Paris , Sep. 30. Emile Zola , the
novelist , who gained additional
prominence ia recent years because
of his defence of the Jews and of
Former Captain Drefyus , was found
dead in his 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 noon she was
removed to a private hospital , where
she recovered consciousness for a
short time and was able briefly to ex
plain to a magistrate what had hap-
ipened
I 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 asked
him to open a window. She saw him
rise 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 the
residence.
Stage Hanager Kills Wife.
New York , Sept. 30. Harry Rose ,
stage manager of the Garrick theatre
sbot and instantly killed his wife
Monday at their apartments in West
Thirty-third street Immediately af
terwards he surrendered himself at
the nearest police station , where he
banded tbe revolver to the seargent ,
saying "I have just shot my wife. "
Jealousy was the cause of the trag
edy , Hose , according to his statement
to the police having detected his
wife in an intrigue and bfting mad
dened by her admission of guilt.
Mrs. Eose was formerly an actress
and was known on the stage as Belle
Berger.
The man charged by Kose with
having alienated the anectlons of
his wife is Samuel vdams , a wealthy
real estate dealer and a constant at
tendanr. at first night performances ,
with whom Kose was on terms of
friendly intimacy and whom he says
he introduced to his wife.
Adams was greatly overcome on
learning of Mrs. Rose's tragic death ,
but denied that there had been any
impropriety in his relations with her.
Rose was held without bail by tbe
coroner and committed to the tombs.
The couple had been married four
teen years.

He and wife returned only last even-
Ing from a visit with her relatives at
Cleveland , Minn. Davidson , owing
to ill health , had been gianted leave
of absence until July 15. He leaves
a wife , but no children. Nervous
prostration doubtless caused the
deed.

feld , a Peshtigo farmer , was fatally
shot today by his son. Shelf eld , it is
said , was beating his wife and tbe

CLAIMS TO FIND SHORTAGE.
State Senator Zeig er May be Aaked t *
.Explain.
Hartington , Neb. , Sept. 30. Last
April an investigation of the Cedar
county treasurer's records was begun
by Accountants Cannon and Valen
tine. In July a report was submitted
to tbe county board covering the four
year term of ex-Treasurer H. B. Sing
from 1893 to 1902 , finding a shortage
of $6,079 , 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. Zeigler ,
from 1894 to 1898 will declare a short
age of considerably over $20,000. Of
this amount the report will say no
small amount belongs to the state and
a very large sum to the county school
funds.
Mr. Zeigler's first term * as secured
by a personal bond and his second by
a bond given by the Fidelity and De
posit company of Maryland. It is as
serted that practically all of the al
leged shortage occurred during his sec
ond term. Accountant Gilchrist of
Omaha and was here last week in the
interest of the securities company and
will return this week and make a
thorough investigation of the second
term of Mr. Zeigler's records in behalf
of the bond company. T. Cannon
being west on his summer vacation
the investigation of Mr. Zeigler's rec
ord was made entirely by "Valentine ,
who is given credit for unearthing the
matter , inasmuch as Zeigler'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. Zeigler's prominence
in political circles , he having repre
sented the Eighth senatorial district
in the last legislature , these diclosures
have startled the entire community
and surprised his friends. Mr. Zeig
ler's home at the present time is lola ,
Kas. In response to the earnest in-
treaties of bin friends he came to Hart
ington last Friday evening , returning
to Omaha Saturday with Accountani
Gilchrist Persons who are in a po
sition to know best about Mr. Zeigler'fl
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-Treas
urer Peter Jenal , who held the office
for the two year term immediately
preceeding Mr. Zeigler has reques ed
the county commissioners to investi
gate the records of his administra
tion.
Young Woman Courts Death.
Tecumseh , Neb. , Sept. 30. Mrs.
Young , wife of Ellis Younr , 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 tbe early
evening he found her in bed in an
unconscious condition with a partly
empty strychnine bottle and a spoon
near by. He hastily summoned Dr.
T. E. Fairall from this city and with
proper antidotes the woman's life
was saved. She had taken a gener
ous dose of tbe poison.
Mr. Young is a man fully seventy
years old while she not over twenty
five. They have been married but
two years , and he has grandchildren
nearly as old as his present wife.
Mrs. Young would not give her mo
tive for the 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
relatijus probabl be ng disappointed
with her busband only by the re
markable difference in age. Of late
she has been remorseful and sullen
and at anotner time about a month
ago she threatened to kill herself.
In the dead of nightit 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.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Young are well
known in tins vicinity and enjoy
good roputatiuus and this rash acton
the part of tbe woman is much re
gretted by iriends.

TRACE RAT POISON

SUGAR CANNOT BE FOUND
IMPORTANT EVIDENCE LOST AND
SUSPICION FALLS ON NO ONE-
EPIDEMIC OF SUICJDES
s'avy Lo C8 Another of its Leading Offl.
cers Calls it Act of Charity.
Omaha , Neb. , Oct. 1. An unsoiJed
printed slip of directions for using
"Eos' rat poison" bas been dis
covered by detectives in one of tbe
rooms of the ( Jutbbertson residence ,
1806 Cbicago street , where Edward
Cuthbertsou. a telegrapher , and the
members of his family ofour were
poisoned at breakfast Sunday morn-
Ing.
The sugar which is supposed to
have contained the bulk ef 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
the 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 , bu $
all are out of bed.
"We gave the suspected coffee and
milk to the police for chemical
analysis , but when I went to get the
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 nut seen it this morning.
"B'lt we will do everything possi
ble to discover the miscreants , and
will punish them , if possible. " The
milk and coffee is in the hands of Dr.
StoKes of the Omaha medical college.
DO whom it was sent for a chemical
analysis. The examination is ex-
pectid 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 poisoner are as much a
mystery as ever.
An Epedemic of Suicides ,
New York , Oct. 1. Lieutenant
Commander William V. Bonaugh ,
of the United States navy , commit
ted suicide today on the battleship
Keasage at the navy yard by blowing
out his brains wich a revolver.
Friends of Commander Bonaugh 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 the 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
sad affairs , and then in an unguard
ed moment the desire to try it seized
him and it was all over in a min
ute.
Commander Bronaugh was born in
Kentucky and entered tbe naval
icademy in 1873.
Calls it Act of Charity.
New York. Oct. 1. Henry Phipps
of the Carnegie Steel company , who
gave $100,000 to the relief fund for
d.-stitute Boers , arrived on the Kais
er Wilhelm Der Grosse today. Mr.
Pbipps was reluctant to talk about
his gift , but said :
"I sent Arthur White , the author ,
to see Mr. Cbambc-rlain before 1 de
cided what to do. and the answer
came back that the pift would be all
right. If the situation had been
changed and England had been the
suffering country I would have given
them the money. "

NE1GENFIND WITHOUT HOPE
Cares Little IVliat the Future Bns li
Stoie.
Liocoln , Nebr. , Oct. 4. "No , I
am not afraid to go back to Pierce
county. They can't do more than
hang me. T am a cripple for life
anyway. I don't care much wha
they do. " These were the words ol
Gottieb Neigentind as he lay on a cot
in a cell in the police station Tues
day night. He was suffering from
wounds received wnen he was cap
tured , but he has recovered sufficient
ly to be taken back to the county
where he killed his wife and her fath
er to stand trial. Sheriff Jones of
Pierce county called for him Wednes
day. He was at t.ie penitentiary and
as the sheriff desired to leave on the
early morning Eikhorn train he
brought the prisoner to the police
station to be held over uighu.
In any event he intends to protect
bim from any attempt at mob vio-
Ince. Neigenfind will be arraigned
lor bis preliminary on Monday next
and a special term of court will be
beld on October 29 , at which he may
be tried.
"I received good care at the peni
tentiary , " he said. "There they
washed my wounds every little while
nd gave me 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
and the wound in my arm is running
.ill the 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 he
had been working in Kansas wheat
fields and later in Dodge county ,
his 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 nuntbs
after he and his wife parted. She
had sued him for a divorce. He
went to his 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 bim. 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 Neigeu-
find's finger. Then Neignefind fired.
The shot made Breyer pause but
be made a lunge at Niegenfind and
the gun was emptied , with Breyer
Jess than a rod away from his slayer.
He walked away slowly but did not
fall just then.
"I run around the end of the
barn , " said Neigenflnd , "and was
loading my gun when my wife came
around with the pitchfork in her
hand. She started for me and I told
ber 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 sbot at
her again. That time the bullet
struck her over the left eye and she
fell.
fell."I
"I am sorry I killed my wife. I
lidn't mean to kill anybody when I
? yent to the farm. I bad a little gun
hat I bought when I was in Dodge
Bounty The old man crowded m.i
with the fork and had to shoot him
to save my life. I would have taken
,1 , 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
* .hot at her. She must have got in
tange 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
i he other side of the fence as I went
own the road ana I heard her cry
ing , but I didn't touch her. I read
auout that in the papers. It's all a
lie "
He showed much interest in the
"luestions " put to him and answered
ihein unreservedly. There was noth-
ing he wouid not tell. He seemed to
enjoy talking about it. When the
onversation was ended he turned
over on the rot with his face toward
the wull and sighed. Jt was the ac-
Mon of a mac in pain but careless as
'o what the future held for him. He
, v.is 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 , I was not crazy. I
was excited of course while the shoot-
ii g was going on. but I was not'"n-
-ane. ' ' Speaking of his capture he
iaid they didn't give him much
hance else he would have got away.
'Before I knew what they wanted
, vith me they began shooting.
