FRIGHTENED BY CIRCUS LION
An Old Railroad Engineer in the West
 Tells of a Night Ride.

Dan Bechtel, of Brookfeld, tells the Kansas City Journal a story about night ride he once took with loose lion, which, as he says, tends to ''make the gooseflesh creep a lit- tle." Bechtel for If years was an engineer on the Hannibal & St. Jo- seph railroad. One night in 1888 he left Macon for Shelbina, his en- zine pulling the Wallace shows. It was very dark, and he had orders not to run faster than 15 miles an hour. Bechtel says he was Kidding" the fireman and head brakeman about what would happen if some of the wild animals should get loose, when he looked up and saw an old lion on top of the cars, moving slowly and gingerly toward the engine.
 "When the brakeman and fireman realized what was coming" says Bechtel, "they made a dive for the cab door, and were soon riding on the front of the engine. Mir. Lion came to the first car and stood there, crit ically examining the engine. The frebox was open, and that kept him back, as he did not seem to know what to make of the bright, dazzling light. I gave whistle that would scare ghosts, but it did not phase the lion. We soon began to lose steam and the train had to slow down. When we reached Shelbina, Conductor Pratt came up, making a big kick because we had been going slow I pointed to the first car, and Pratt quickly retreated.
 ''The trainer soon came and took the big fellow to his cage. He had l found a loose bar, which he worked out. With the fireman and brake man on the front end and the show people and Conductor Pratt on the rear end, it seemed as if the lion was getting too close l thought of all the mean things 1 had ever done, and held to the throttle and let the en- zine go as fast as she would with what steam l still had on"

PhOSphate Rock.

According to a report of the ex- pertinent station of the University of Arkansas, the phosphate rock de- posits of north Arkansas, in the counties of Independence, Stone, lzard, Searcy, Newton and Baxter, are scarcely known, but from exami- nation they promise to be of con- siderable extent and richness. They will, therefore, be valuable to the state as a source of the manufacture of acid phosphate, an important plant food that is extensively used as a fertilizer for increasing the yield of crops.

Alleged Murderer Indicted.

J. A. Huddleston was indicted at Perryville on the charge of killing Sam Childcrs, postmaster at Jen- nings Falls, Nell county, April 24, 1902, while he was on his way to Aplin to appear against Huddleston in a magistrates court. Childers' dead body was found on the road side and suspicion pointed to Hud- dleston, who had been living at Casa for twelve years, and who had been arrested in March last on the charge of being a fugitive from jus tice at Paris, Tex. His discovery was brought about by Childers. He was discharged at Paris and return ed to his old home. The murder followed, but as there were no wit nesses to the crime the evidence against the accused Is aD circum- stantial.

DID DUTY FOR ALI.
A Jeweled CigarCase Given Away with
 No Parting Pangs.

Some years ago, according to Lon don Ilt-Bits, a foreign diplomat, who shall be nameless, presented his letters of recall to a certain king, who invited him to a farewell ban quet at the palace, presenting him during the course of the evening with superb golden cigar case, studded with costly jewels, as memento of his sojourn at the court and of his maJestys appreciation of the serv- ices he had rendered.
 On the day following the presenta- tion note arrived from the grand master of the kings household, beg ging that the case might be returned for some slight altcration-some- thing or other was to be inscribed on the interior of the case. Of course the diplomat sent it.
 A few days elapsed, and then the diplomat ventured to injuire how the alterations were progressing and when he might expect a return of the case, as he was in hurry to leave the country and get home.
 A polite reply was forwarded that the alterations would be completed in a day or two At considerable in
 
 convenience the diplomat tarried a week, preferring to wait to intrust- ing the costly gift to a shipping agent to deliver to him in England. A fortnight elapsed, three weeks, and then, in despair, after wasting much stationery and ink, the wearied diplo- mat set sail, leaving his address be- hind him. From that day to this the cigar case has never turned up.
 Recently, however, he met his sue cessor, who, in his turn, had just left the court. The latter was full of en- thusiasm about the king, who, he ex- claimed, lis capital fellow. He presented me with splendid gold cigar case, heavily encrusted with magnificent gems, when 1 took my leave of him. l would like to show it to you, only they asked to have it back for a bit to make an alteration of some sort"
 The smile that developed on the features of the other diplomat be- came very broad, and investigation brought to light the fact that yet other diplomats had been treated in the same manner; that is to say, pre- sumably the identical gold cigar case had done duty for them all.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
A Terrible Tragedy.

Mrs. Nate wagner, Ot North Little Rock, in fit of insanity, cut the throats of her two children aged 7 and 9 years, with a razor, and then ended her own life in the same manner. Mrs. Wagner was the wife of a machinist who at the time of the triple tragedy was in Fl Paso, Tex, for the benefit of his health. The family was in good circumstances, and no motive exist ed for the deed. Mrs. Kizer, the mother of Mrs. Wagner, was the first to discover the bodies. She went to the home of her daughter to pay call, as was her custom, but found the house closed. Believing that the family was visiting neigh bors, she returned home, but on the following day made another call. The house still being closed, Mrs. Kizer became alarmed and opened a side window. A horrible sight met her view. Lying on the bed in their night gowns were the two children, girl and a boy, with gap- ing wounds in their necks. On the floor a few feet away lay the moth- CT, her head almost severed from the body. The sight was most pitt ful. No family troubles could pos slbly have prompted the deed, un- less breeding over her husbands ill., ness unbalanced the woman's mind. Mrs. Wagner was well provided with funds and her husband owned some property and their domestic relations had always been happy. At first the theory of murder was advanced, but a thorough investiga- tion dispelled this idea. Everything about the place was properly arrang- ed, and the house was securely fas- tened with the exception of one win dow, which was raised, but a screen in it's proper place showed that no one could have entered or left the room. Mrs. Wagner had undoubted- ly waited until the children were asleep before committing the awful and unnatural crime, After kill ing the children she evidently stood in front of the dresser in order to give her hand di- rect aim for the death stroke, as the mirror and top of the dresser were bespattered with blood. Mrs. Wagner was 20 years old, and had been married about ten years. She was greatly devoted to her little family and had never before shown any mental Arrangement. The vic- tims had been dead about 36 hours before the discovery of Mrs. Kizer.

SETTLE IRISH LAND QUESTION.
Landlords and Tenants Getting Closer To.
gether-Timc Ripe. says Redmond.


LONDON, Nov. 2i.-There il apparently
an increasing probability of satisfactory
settlement, of the Irish land question by an
arrangement between landlords and tenants.
The concliatory attitude Of the land
owners has met with encouraging recog-
milton from the Ma, ionalist leaders.
John Redmond. NJ. p, in "a speech AT
Bermondsey, said hat the time had come
which came in every struggle when the
combatants tired Of the contest and were
taking counsel whether il could not bc
brought to a satisfactory end. II was most
gratifying TO find on his return from the
United States that. apart from coercion,
the polit ical situation in Ireland WAS more
hopeful than he he'd known ii in twenty
five years. II had undergone a radical
and extraordinary change.
No English Minister since the union had
such a chance a. Mr.. Wyndham, Chief
Secretary for Ireland, has at the present
moment. A great majority OF the land
lords were now for the first time speaking
words of sense, reason and Cancellation,
and expressed themselves as willing to
settle the land question in a manner which
he was convinced, would be wise and salu-
tary for themselves, while II would root
the people firmly TO the soil. The land
lords were at present divided. but the
tenants, who we're united, could AFFORD to
wait.
Meanwhile. Mr.. Redmond continued,
there was an unabated demand for home
rule for the Irish, for which a sett Element of
the land queS; ion was in 10 wise a substitute.
Indeed. such an al justmsnt, far from di-
minshing the demand. would rather in
crease it inasmuch a. the more prosI erous
and more contentcd the Irish became the
more determined they would ho ia assert in <
their right of national self-gov"rr mrnt.
The Earl of Dudley in a speech at Belfast
said that in accepting the vice-royalty Of
ireland he had come to the country with
the same spirit as Mr. Chamberlain had in
visiting South Africa. namely TO see every
representative of every class who wished to
Interview him, and 10 observe the situation
for himself A. IL was most important
to bring about an agreement between
landlords and tenants he suggested
that each party choose "A represent
tative of acknowledged financial ability
and business capacity who was fully ac-
Ouainted with their claims and wishes.
These should meet and confer a. to the
best means for reaching a mutual under
standing. and ascertain how far the respec-
tive demands were compatible. He offered
the suggest ion for hat it was wor,h,hoping
i, contained she seed from which increased
happiness of the Irish people would spring.
