A DISTRESSING FATALITY.

This community was shock
ed to hear last Friday of the
sudden and untimely death of
Edgar Riebold, the nine-year-
old and eldest child of MIR.
and Mrs. Jacob Riebold, Of
Clearwater. 1t appears that
the youngster was playing in
the kitchen in the afternoon
and by some means entangled
himself in the roller towel and
strangled to death; before he
was discovered he had passed
from life to death.

KITTEN AND THE LION.
Pathetic Story of Love In Animal

Pathetic story of Love In Animal
Life Mt the Zoo.
The other night a little, purring kit
ten rubbed herself in friendly fashion
against the great iron bars Of the den
of Old Paul, the zoos famed lion, of
whom extreme age has made pitiable
show these many weeks, says the Gin
cinnati Enquirer 1t was the kittens
way of coaxing Paul to come to say
goodnight to her, for Paul and kittie
were the best of friends. She was the
only bit of outside life that Paul was
ever friendly with. Every night for
weeks kittie has crept shyly up in
front of the bars of her old lion lovers
home, and when she mewed to him he
came forward and put his great shaggy
head as close to her as he could, and
they caressed each other.
The other night when kittie came,
and, rubbing anxiously against the
bars, mewed all softly to her jungle
lover to came and say goodnight, Paul
just lay still, his head between his
paws and didn't notice her at all. Tired
of coaxing HIM, the faithful kittie
stopped and just looked and looked
at the noble, great fellow. Finally a
keeper saw her do something that in
stinct never let her do before. She
shyly crept through the big, black iron
bars, and, going in, caressea the great
bowed head in her most loving way.
But there was no response. Then kit
lie slowly went away and Paul slept
onr-the sleep that knows no waking.
Scores of people who had known the
old lion for nearly 20 years had just
been visiting him, and hosts of tiny
children had tossed him kisses just as
death was coming on. He died exactlya as

talions of the First regiment
of Idaho. They were received
by the ladies of the Red Cross
Society. Many of the men had
no uniforms, some of them
were poorly dressed, but all of
them looked well. The fact is
that but two companies of the
eight, that is to say, 1853 men
out of 6o7, are fully equipped,
and only 40 have Springfield
rifles, the others being unarm-
ed. Still, though short of the
outward visible signs of the
soldier, they have good sup
ply of blankets and enough to
eat. Before marching to Camp
Richmond the men were pre-
sented with fruit and flowers
galore.

The largest loaves of bread baked in

baked in loaves two or three feet long.
while in France the loayes are made in
the shape of very long rolls four or
five feet in length, and in many cases
even six feet. The bread of Paris is
distributed almost exclusively BY
women, who go to the various bake

Jim Egan and Ellis Childers
have gone to the penitentiary at
Jefferson City in connection with
the Greek warrant case and it is
reported that eighty.one other in
dictments have been found. From
all accounts the unexpected
happened again and there are a
whole lot Of surprised people in
the Northern district besides these
two former residents. That Egan
was mistaken in his calculations
may reasonably be inferred by
his coming back from Mexico
and giving bond. A great many
stories are being told in connection
with this case and the reasons for
unexpected results resched, but

peating them. After sentence Egan

The present is history making

sioners appointed by the council

less than FIVE weeks. The same
is to be submitted to a vote of the
Cherokee people and accepted or
rejected, and submitted to congress
and acted upon all before the
fourth of March. Within the next
three months great events will
transpire in the Cherokee nation. |
The machinery for the final dis
solution Of the body polite of the

molten. The final allotment OF
land and complete individual title
will be provided for. The pay
ment of large sum Of money per
