He wandered around the city the remainder of the night, and finally became so depressed in spirits that he thought he would end all by taking a dose of arsenic. This he did, but luckily the dose was not sufficient to kill him, and did not act immediately He then took an ounce of lauduum, and this morning was found almost lifeless on the platform of the Santa Fe freight depot. Coroner Dr. Hib-ben was sent for and on arriving found there was life, and proceeded to administer the proper narcotics, which saved the man's life.

Currau were somewhat surprised last evening ful. The menagarie was not very large uor extensive, but what animals Mr. Doris did have were of a rare species aud at tracted the atteutiou of the crowd. The ring show was the best of all. The bareback riding by William Showels was fine.

The bicycle riding by the Salbinis who were iu our city a short time ago with Mr. Leyitt was both daring and skillful. Ella Stakes and Sallie Marks wou fayors in their riding act, The tumbling, juggling, horozontal and wire acts were all good, aud iu fact there was not a weak feature in the entire ring pro-grom. Mr. Doris has advertised nothing he does not produce and will leave an excellent impression in Topeka.

The teut was tilled this afternoon and to-night there will be but a repetition in this matter. Even the after show was out of the routine of the kind of performances that are usually given by a circus, aud was well worth the price charged. The Doris show is as much better than was Cole's as can be expressed in print. ''As You Like Mr. Berger, advance man for Mod-jeska, arrived in the city this morning, and it has fiually been decided that she will appear as Rosaline in "As You Like It."
