H. C. Warner, we'll known newspaper man, has begun, in Argenta, Ark, the publication of the Incident. Warner is a man of dauntless energy and has never lacked the courage to express his opin- ions. That the Lnefdsnt will be sue cess, we have not doubt, for the citizens of Argenta well know the value of an honest and we'll written journal. Several years ago, Warner and the writer pub ished the Prairie F2ovey, at Carlisle, in this state. Without boastful desire, we must say that there was one good feature about that paper-it died. When the last number appeared, religious old lady, who had been a subscriber, came to the office and said: els this really the last number 2" "It is" Warner sadly replied. "Thank the Lord r the old woman exclaimed. There is a great diff ference, however, between the Carlisle sheet and the Laeidesk The former was a sickly child with a stone bruise of debt i; the latter is healthy boy, alive to every item of local intelligence.

CHAPTER III.

The doctor neglected his practice and devoted himself to devising plans. The walls of his room were covered with the charts of half formed intentions. Some times his pulse beat high with hope some times his heart beat low in despair. Once he thought of organizing party with a design of taking the girl by force, but this daring project was soon killed by the discovery that the judge had armed his hired men.
 How are you getting along with your plans, dear ?" Nora one day asked.
 "Well, so, so."
 [" wish you would bring some of them around and let me see them."
 "I would but l am afraid that the old man might get hold of them"
 "That's so."
 The old man had taken his place OF the lawn. Occasionally he would exam inc his gun to see whether or not some traitor had been tampering with the car tridges. Approaching the window he pleasantly addressed the doctor The doctor replied affably:
 How long do you think the militia will serve, judge p
 "Just so long as there is any occasion, sir"
 "Ah, long enlistment, l see."
 Several days later, the doctor, wild with excitement, rushed over to the judges house and told Nora that he had at last devised plan.
 "Oh. tell me l" she joyously exclaimed.
 "l cannot, dear, but you may begin at once to make your preparations"
 "Are you sure that the plan will work ?"
 "Wcll, to satisfy you, will tell you"
 He whispered to her. She clapped her hands in glee. She proceeded at once to make her arrangements.
 "What are you doing3" the old man asked.
 "Making my wedding clothes"
 The old nan smiled and examined his gun.
 The next Thursday, the doctor, several attendants and minister arrived. The old man met them at the gate and de- manded an explanation.
 !" have come to marry your daughter" replied the doctor. The judge cooked his gun.
 "Hold on, judge. The ceremony shall not take place until you have given your consent"
 "Then it will never take place."
 "Oh, yes it will"
 "Do you mean to say that l will give my consent ?"
 "Yes."
 "You are fool"
 "That's all right. Come into the house, gentlemen"
 "lf there's going to be trouble don't want to have anything to do with this affair."" said the minister.
 "Oh, there'll be no trouble" Graves replied. "Come in."
 The company assembled in the parlor. The old man sat with his gun between his knees. Graves looked at his watch.
 "lt is about time for the ceremony to take place." said he. The old man lev eled his gun.
 Hold on, judge, am not going to marry without your consent. Let me speak to you. He whispered in the judges ear. The old man dropped the gun and threw his arms around the doc tors neck and wept.
 "Take her, sir" said he, "take her."
 The ceremony was performed. The old man was beside himself with hap piness. He sent to town and ordered keg of beer. He threw wide open the doors of his heart.
 Late at night the minister, drawing the judge aside asked:
 "You once hated the doctor, did you not ?"
 "Yes."
 "A few moments before the ceremony was performed you felt like killing him, didn't you5 5''
 "Yes."

Some of the HORRORS to be Seen There
"r'ragments of Dead Men"

fragments of Dead Men"
Every visitor to Washington wants to
see the building where President Lincoln
was shot. Most OF those who visit the
spot simply ride by, look at the old brown
front, glance at the tablet on the house
just opposite which tells that it was there
that Lincoln died, and then pass on. Very
few of them realize what an array of hor-
rors they have missed in failing to enter
the Army Medical Museum which Occur
pies the old Ford's theatre where the
shooting took place. "Fragments of dead
men" is the way some writers here re-
Gently described the contents Of this
building. Besides a large number of
skeletons scattered through the building
there are rows of glass cases all the way
around the wall and close together across
the room from east 10 west. There are
also glass bottles, like preserving jars.
Some of them have human hearts in
them; some hold the lungs and liver.
Others hold kidneys, spleens, eyes, noses,
ears or fingers of men who nave been a
long time dead. Among the spleens is that
of Guiteau, which is third larger than
any of the rest. One case is devoted to
arms and legs that have been amputated
some Of them all lacerated and torn to
pieces by gunshot wounds. Most of the
exhibits are the scraps Of men picked up
Oh the battlefield. One heart has two big
ounce bullets imtedded in it. Another
has deep cash in it and near by Is a
dirk knife.
Another case is devoted to horrible
looking hands and feet put up in glass
jars. All are swelled up and lacerated.
Some have the flesh torn away and the
bone and sinews left bare. A solitary
thumb reposes in a small bottle, while
little finger ia crooked up I'm another. Ar
eye torn from its socket by musket bail
il soaked in alcohol. odds and ends and
all sorts of fragments of dead people are
collected there like the scraps for a crazy
quilt. But the chief part OF the collection
consists of small fragments Of bones.
There is a section OF the backbone of
Booth in a glass case not many feet from
the spot where he shot Lincoln. There
are all sorts OF human bones shattered by
shot and she'll Skulls, with great big
lend bullets sticking in them; big bones,
with fragments OF iron shells crushing
them into powder; joints, broken apart
| bv musket balls. There are skulls, ribs,
legs and arms shattered and shivered by
all sorts of missiles OF war, and in some
eases the lead and the bone have become
welded together. There are over 1900
specimens Of bones fractured in various
ways by shot.

The outlook for the future is any.
