Fritz Won Tarlenheim, two faithful
friends Of the Prince, hit on a daring
plan. They made the acquaintance Of
Rassendyll, the young Englishman, who,
owing to circumstances suggested in the
prologue, is Of the same blood with the
RED Elphbergs," Of Ruritonia, being q
perfect double in appearance for the
Prince. After some difficulty the two
officers persuaded him to impersonate
their rightful sovereign for the purposes
of the coronation, and thus defeat the
plans OF Black Michael.
The intention is TO place the Prince on
the throne as soon as he RECEIVERS. But
Black Michael SEXES the Prince, i'm
prisons him I'm the Castle of Zenda, and
prepares TO kill him. When he shall
have succeeded in taking the life Of Ras-
seldyll, whose plot he has discovered.
In the mean time, the young English
man and the Princess Flavia, the Princes
betrothed, have fallen desperately In
love with each other. Rassendyl cares
nothing for his assumed kingly rank,
but TO give 1t up is to lose Flavia- But
this he must do, or let the Prince die in
his dungeon. He makes the sacrifice,
the Princess with a breaking heart sus-
tanning him in IL. Black Michael is at
tackled and overthrow, the real King is
saved, and then, wounded and desolate,
but high-souled and honorable TO the
last Rudolf Rassendyll bids a final fare
well TO the woman he loves. and leaves
her forever. She would go with him,
giving up the royal rank and all to be
his wife; but here, too, duty steps In,
since the interests Of her country and
her people require that she remain to
become Queen Of Ruritonia. AS they
part in the gloomy dungeon hail of

the moving character Of the scene, is
heard the solemn chant Of the nuns
about the bier Of the slain usurper, Black
Michael.

E. l.. Martin, president of the Kan. sas City, Pittsburg S Gulf railroad. ac- companied by several other officials and prominent men from Kansas Citv arrived in private car last Friday and remained hero until Sunday after noon when they strated on their re- turn trip to Kansas City.
 During their stay here they took in all the points of interest in and around our city and Saturday morning made trip down the line to the end of the track, which is about twenty miles from here It was their intention to go from there to Horatio on horsebacl, and inspect the work all along the line but the heavy rain which was falling prevented this plan being car ried out
 To Star reporter President Martin stated that the work was going along nicely and would be completed accord ing to their plan, not later than March 1. In answer to questions con corning Mena and this section of the country Mir Martin talked in man. her very encouraging. He expressed his pleasure at seeing the steady, sub stantial growth our city is enjoying and his confidence that this growth would continue and very materially increase in the spring when the Port Arthur route was completed.
 General Superintendent W. K. Nor ley and General Live Stock Agent l.. Il. Crumbaugh were in the party and attended to the locating and arrang- ing for the building of the large stock yards at this point. The location se- lected IS on the east side of the track down below the water tank. The yard will have an immense capacity, as all live stock shipped over this sec tion of the road will be unloaded here for feed and water

RESIDENCE PORTION OF nENA,
The West Side. Many Homes Being
 Built In Halls Addition.

By those owning residence lots in our city and those expecting to pur- chase soon it is quite interesting to see which direction from tho business DOT tion of town the best residences are to be built. Some have expected that high and picturesque part of the city around and beyond Stilwell park to be the choice of those desiring to build nice residences, but at present the west side seems to be far iu the lead. All around Jansson park and still further west many pretty homes are being built.
 It is surprising to note the mum Der of homes being built Tn Halls addi- tion. There are nearly twenty houses finished and under course of construc- tion at the present time.
 The land department of the NJ, K. & T. Trust company is making prepar- ations to open a new addition on the southwest side of town to meet the demands for five and ten acre lots.

Saw mills planers and furniture fac- tories have already been secured; other simi- lar enterprises arc on tho way; steps are now being taken to establish a steel plant at Mena which alone will give employment to an army of men.

HAD TOO MUCH MONEY.
Returned a Part of IL and the Prose
 cution Stopped.

Tn closing up the affairs of the Wolf saloon the proprietors discovered from looking over some private letters of their bartender, C. B, McDougle, that he had more money deposited in a Ft, Smith bank than his salary justi- fled. Officers were sent to Ft. Smith where McDougle had gone after leav- ing here, and he was arrested and brought back Friday.
 He admitted to having S13O which be longed to the saloon and returned 9i2O of it. While in court Friday after noon awaiting trial McDougle slipped out and was gone before the officer in charge missed him. It was learned later that he went down to Hatton. Officers started after him, found him there and again brought him back to answer to the charge against him. But it seemed the S120 satisfied the prose cution's desire for justice and revenge and after holding him two days wait ing for some one to appear against him he was released.

 Without Cause.

It was reported on the streets Mon- day morning that man living in . tent over near Dennison was sick with the small pox. Mayor Carder, accom- panled by Dr. Reese, called upon him as soon as they heard the report and found it was all mistake. The fel- low has been sick with the measles for several days but had sufficiently re- covered to be almost ready to go to work.
 There was great deal of exclte- ment aroused over the report. Farm CTS coming in town yesterday morn ing were anxious to know if it was true before they got out of their wag- ons to do their trading. It is not known just how the fake report was started.
