Angora Goat Breeders Well Organized
The following. reproduced from
The Successful Farmer, published at.
Sioux Falls. S. D., will be of interest
to readers of the REPUBLICAN, in
view of the fact that Taney county is.
so well adapted to goat-raising, and
also that such general interest is be-
ing taken in the Importance of this.
industry:
A little over year ago the breed
ers of Angora goats in the U. S. held
meeting at Kansas City and later
organized the American Angora goat
breeders Assn. This society has
been working during the year prerar-
ing for great show and sale. which
closed recently at Kansas City. The
members are the most prominent
breeders in the country and come
from all ever. There is a large num-
Der from Tex, some from CAL,
good many from Kan, and many in
dividuals from Ia, Ill. and states fur
ther east. At the late Kansas City
meeting the following officers were
elected: Pres. L H Mastin of Mo; vice.
pres, r G. Johnston of Kan; sec'y, w
L Mefntire of Kansas City Mo; treas.
L Eaman of Mo; inspector, j r
Standley of Iowa. The board of di-
rectors consists of IS members, re-.
presenting states all the way from,
Ia. TO Cal, N. NJ. and Tex. 1t was de-
cided to issue transfers at 25c each to
enable the assn to have printed q re-
cord of all the goats whose owners
belong to it.
At the sale, the highest price re-
ceived for any one animal was 500
for Lazarus No. 4. He was the cham
pion ack Of the show and was bred
and owned by d & Taylor of N. M.
He was sold to c S Richardson OF
Dubuque, Ia. Fairly good prices
were received for all the goats sold.

A Railroad Item From Arkansas.

RdiITodc item from Arkansas.
Yellville Republican,: There have
been many rumors lately regarding
the Chadwick brench of the Frisco.
To these the Republican has paid but
little attention for the reason that
they were merely rumors. This week,
however, a communication from St.
Louis definitely settles the status of
this proposition. 1t has been officially
announced that the Chadwick branch
would be extended south through
Yellville within year, the work 20
be commenced Immediately. The
contract has been let for a part
Of the way. and the rest will follow
The determination of the route will
be most satisfactory to the Marion
county property owners. The line
will be through the very richest Of
this mineral field, passing through
Dodd City, Yellvilie and the Rush
district.
The Eureka extension is to be
pushed on eastward to q connection
with the Chadwick extension joining
it, III all probability at Dodd City,
though Mr.. Scullin says it will pass
through st. Joe. The best engineers
who have gone over that route seek
ing an outlet, declare it is not FEAST
BILE, for two reasons-first, the limited
extent of mineral territory in that
direction, and second, the unusual ex-
pense of building line. From Har-
rison in that direction the road
would cost as much rs some of the
more expensive Colorado roads.
There are some good mines in the
st. Joe district, but not enough of
them to warrant such an immense
outlay of money. While Dodd City
may capture the terminus of the
Eureka extension, there is more than
possibility that it will come to a
point OH The Chadwick, extension at
or very near Yellville, for by doing
SO tie rich properties owned by Mis-
souri, Pacific people would be taken
in, properties that have been proven
to be of unexampled worth.
The Little Rock and Northern, or
the new line between Little Rock
and Springfield, has undoubtedly
been the cause Of this sudden activity
on the part of the Frisco, which de-
notes that the latter system has au-
thentic Information as to the stability
and responsibility Of the Little Rock
project, hence the haste to cover the
field.
The delay of Information from Chi
cago which had been promised rem
ders it impossible to give anything
new regarding the railroad survey
and project engineered by Mr.. Chadic,
down the river. Another system
presumably the Illinois scheme OF
some years ago, seems to have found
new life, for it's engineer has been
riding over these hills for many days.
But then this may be one of the plans
that rest quietly beside the Mckay
and Artz schemes which even the
resurrection day will not bring out OF
their graves.

Meg--you must help me, for l live in
terror
And that she lived in terror was true,
some women were quick to see. Never
would she 60 anywhere, even along the
corridor, alone. If the colonel could
not come to luncheon she was served
in their rooms. If she had to go calling
or shopping it was in a carriage and
always with some army woman whom
she could persuade to go with her.
One day, just before their intended
departure, she drove out paying part
ing calls. 1t was quite late when the
carriage drew up at the Market street
entrance, the nearest to their elevator.
The door boy sprang across the side
walk to open the carriage, and as she
stepped wearily out tall young man,
erect and slender, dressed in a dark
travelling suit, fairly confronted her,
raised his derby and said: You can
give me ten minutes now, Mrs. Frost.
Be good enough to take my arm
Bowing her head she strove to dodge
by, but it was useless. Again he con-
fronted her. Piteously she looked up
in his pale, stern face and clasped her
hands. 'Oh, Rollin," she cried, give
me my letters. L dare not-see you.
Have mercy" and down again she
went in a senseless heap upon the stone.
Col. and Mrs. Frost did not sail with the
Empress of India. Brain fever set in
and for three weeks the patient never
left the hotel. Frost made his wife's
dangerous illness the basis of an appli-
cation to be relieved from the Manila
detail but, knowing well it would be
late summer before the troops could
be assembled there in sufficient force
to occupy the city, and that his clerks
and books had gone by transport with
the second expedition in June, the war
department compromised on permis-
sion to delay. By the time the fourth
expedition was ready to start there
was no further excuse; moreover, the
doctors declared the sea voyage was
Just what Mrs. Frost needed, and again
their stateroom was engaged by the
Empress line, And, though weak and
languid, Mrs. Frost was able to appear
in the diningroom. Meanwhile a vast
amount of work was saddled on the de-
partment to which Frost was attached,
and daily he was called upon to aid
the local officials or be in consultation
with the commanding general. This
would have left Mrs. Frost to the min
istrations of her nurse alone, but for
the loving kindness of army women in
the hotel. They hovered about her
room, taking turns in spending the
afternoon with her, or the evening, for
it was speedily apparent that she had
a nervous dread of being left by her.

FROM RING TO RANKS.
A United States Army Omcer Who
Once Fought Victorious
Prize Fight.

They used to call him Big Foot"
when he was a student in Washington
and Lee university, Lexington, Va. He
is a first lieutenant in the regular
army, and stationed in Chicago now.
He had two brothers and a cousin at
school with him, and the students
called them Little Foot" Play Foot"
and Two Sticks" Two Sticks" was
so called because he was a cripple and
used crutches, says the Kansas City
Star.
Big Foot" was strapping fellow
with dark hair and eyes, and skin as
soft and pink as an infants. He was
an athlete of magnificent build,
straight and strong and tall. Every
one liked Big Foot" and every one had
a great deal of respect for his family.
He was one of the +. f. VS.. His father,
a col0uel, had an arm shot off at Nal
vern bal while leading the confederate
troops
big Eoot" had some hard expert
ences after he left school. He was grad
uated IL civil engineer from the univer-
sity and took a railroad contract with
"a partner to help him. They made
money cut of the contract, but tho
partner 5 stole it all and big Foot" was
left almost without a dollar in a
strange land. He was ashamed to go
home or write home about his condi-
ton. He couldn't find work and he got
pretty hungry at times. This is what
led him to do what he did. At Lynch
burg, Va, he fell in with some sporting
men who were looking for man to
whip prize fighter that had a reputa-
ton in the town. Big Foot" could see
no easier way of making money than
fighting the prize fighter. He would be
fed while he was training, anyway,
and if he should win the fight he would
make a little money. So he agreed to
fight the fighter.
He whipped the fighter, made some
money, and went to Fort Leavenworth,
where he enlisted in the army as pri-
vate. This was in 1893. In 1895, two
years later, he had risen to second lieu
tenant. This is the shortest possible
time in which a man may rise in the
army from the ranks to such posi-
ton.
The lieutenant was stationed at Van
couver Barracks, Tacoma, Wash, few
years ago. 1t was there he met the
daughter of a general, fell in love with
her and married her. He went with the
general to the Philippines, but re-
turned shortly afterward first lieu
tenant He is soon to leave again for
the Philippines.
The lieutenant is known to several
Kansas City men, one of whom went to
school with him. 1t is doubtful,
though, whether the lieutenant ever
told how he fought a prize fight and
made enough money out of it to join
the army.

shre,vd Strategy of an Eagle.

A strange tale comes from Susque-
hanna county, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. According to a veracious
correspondent three wildcats at Fiddle
Lake attacked a big eagle, which is
wintering among the trees in hem
lock grove near the lake. Although at
tackled from three points, the bird gal
lantly held its own and slew two of the
wildcats. This is the way he did it:
Singing out one of the wildcats the
eagle grasped it tightly by the neck,
burying his talons deep in the flesh;
then, rising almost perpendicularly for
about 100 feet, allowed his prisoner TO
drop on a ledge of rocks. Two falls
killed the first victim, but three were
required to get away with the second.
The survivor, seeing the fate of his
companions, flew down the mountain
side.
