ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
A sansation Spoiled.

A scare of somewhat huge dimensions
was occasioned on the Iron Mountain Rail-
road few days ago, on the strength OF
which sensational kilograms were sent out
announcing that train had been attacked
by robbers, etc., and the entire constabu-
larry force of the northern portion of the
State were for the time being placed upon
a mental rack in hopes of achieving glory
and distinction in the capture of a bona fide
train-robber. Upon investigation it appears
that the local train going north on time OF
the express train was tagged between
O'Kean, Randolph County. and Delaplaine,
Greene county, and six men came out from
the adjacent woods and asked the engineer
and conductor what trainl it was, and II
they had any freight for them. When told
"No," they said "All right, go ahead"
Then their suspicious; actions caused the
conductor to telegraph to the road-master
at Walnut Ridge, who sent an armed posse
on the express following the local. They
expected the train to be attacked. While
organizing to scour the country for the sup
posed robbers lot of wood-choppers went
into Delaplaine, and said it yves they who
stopped the train, and that they only want
ed to know if there was any freight on tho
train for them. No arrests were made.

Men who have SO weakened their

might do worse than to call in the ald

of Pesth, Hungary, has endeavored to
exercise more than "local control
over her worser half in the matter of
his drinking habits. In newspaper OF
that city there recently appeared an
advertisement which cYcites our COM
mendation as well as our wonder.
1t bears the heading: "This is printed
to please my wife," and goes on thus:
II the undersigned, declare that in
future l will never set foot in catc,
wine shop, or beer house, and beg my
friends or acquaintanccs never to invite
me to frequent these places of pcrdition.
In token of my good faith and earnest
resolution" continues the advertiser,
Il authorize any one who may meet
with me in any of the establishments
alluded to- to claim Il fine of fifty tlOrins,
which shall be handed over to some
charitable institution
The advertisement is duly signed by
the husband, who evidently is not want
ing in a certain sort of courage. He is
ready to run the risk of being dcrided
as a henpcckcd. husband rather than the
peril of falling into the drunkard folly
again. The mans appeal to his COM
rades not to cnticc him to wrong-do-
ing, and his declaration that a self-im-
posed fine is to be eXacted for every
backward slip. have a deep pathos
which almos tevery one will appreciate.
And we heartily wish that the waver-
ing purpose of the repentant drunkard
could be more frequently confirmed by
the vicarious substitution of a woman $
strength of will.-Union Signal.
