Who Would leave This Vale of Tears, But Her Attempt Was Frustrated. —Last Night the Husband Took Strychnine But In His Eagerness sTo Die Swallowed an Overdose, Which Probably Saved Him. 4 One of the "tragedies of real life" that fill up pages of magazines and produce the ."Six Great Sellers" among the leading novels of the year came near reaching its natural con summation In Aberdeen last eveihng: Love so soon turned to grief, bitter -disappointment and a desire to es & the grief incident to the diffi cuties that so often best the newly married came near bringing two lives to an etfd. Scarcely two weeks ago a young man and a young wo man of this city stepped forth into the life of the community as man and wife Flushed with pleasure and BOOKCASES happy witli anticipation qf a life de voted to the service of each other, they little dreamed that fate was crowding their foot steps and that bit ter misfortune awaited just around the first corner. How It all happen ed but few know. A quarrel came that apparently made a peaceful, hap py existence together impossible and the young wife resolved to rid the world of her presence so that she might no longer burden the future of her husband. Carbolic acid was se cured and according to schedule it would have accomplished the purpose long before this but again fate in terfered and friendly hands stopped the poison before it had revlied its victim. The next day ought to have brought repentance and recoucillia tion but instead another life came near toeing sacrificed last* evening. This time the husband decided to take the short cut to the other si.le an,d his method was strychnin** and he took enough of the stuff to kill two men but it made him so sick that he nearly fainted and ths whole story came out. The commonplace here took charge in the pGrson of a doctor to whom such gallant efforts did not pppeal and another life must perforce con tinue on its regular way. Storms there may be again hut friends hope and believe that the lesson of the strychnine will not soon be forgot ten and that these two young people will have become somewhat wiser if saddened, by their untimely courses. The matter created some little excite men on the street last evening and reports were current for seme time that the young man had died but late in the night it was reported that he would live.

Pierre, March 3.The LeBeau Phoe nix reports that PeteT LeBeau, having brought in a specimen of quartz about the size of a hen's egg which showed rich samples of free gold. He refused, to say where he found it but it is known that he picked it up somewhere on the Cheyenne River reservation. The specimen has been sent to the government assay office for a report on what it is worth. This recalls that several years ago Narcise Narcell, another half breed on the Cheyenne Reservation brought to this city a half dozen small nug gets of gold, He refused to say where he got them, further than that he picked them up. Efforts to discover where he found them were of no avail. It is presumed that they also came from that reservation, and while the formation of that country is not such that any extensive gold field could exist, it is not impossible that a pocket exists somewhere on the tract, which the Indians know of but are not letting the whites know the location. -if}* MISSOURI S GIVES VALUABLE HISTORY.

D., March 3.—A num ber of the cities and towns of the state are considering the voting of school building bonds this spring to meet the demands, of a rapidly grow ing population. In that connection the opinion by Attorney General Clark in the case of Mitchell is of especial interest. When the question af issuing bonds in that city for the erection of a new school build ing was brought up the women claimed the right to vote on the ques tion under the provision of the con stitution, and as their view did not meet unanimous approval, they sub mitted their case to the'attorney gen. eral who holds that under the pro visions of section nine of' Article 7, of the constitution,* women had the right to vote upon the Issuance of school bonds. The section providing that "any woman paving the quali fication of a voter in regard to age and residence)^ may vote at any election held solely for school pur poses."
