NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
A Terrible Tragedy.

Mrs. Kate Wagner, of North Little Rock, in fit of insanity, cut the threats of her two children aged 7 and 9 years, with razor, and then ended her own life in the same manner. Mrs. Wagner was she wife of a machinist who at the tune 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 a 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 side window. A horrible sight met her view. Lying on the bed in their night gowns were the two children, a girl and 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 sibly 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 its proper place showed that nc 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 1T 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 2S years old, and had been married about ten years. She was greatly devoted to her little family and had never before showT any mental Arrangement. The vic tins had been dead about thirtysil hours before the discovery of Mrs l K izer

Rev. Irl R. Hicks, 1903 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better than
ever, is stating it mildly. The demand
for it is far beyond all previous years.
To say that such results, reaching through
thirty years, are not based upon sound
sense and usefulness, is an insult is the
intelligence of the millions. Professor
Hicks, through his great almanac, and
his famous family and scientific journal,
Word and Works, is doing work for
the whole people not approached by any
other man or publication. A fair test
will prove this to any reasonable person.
Added to the most luminous course in
astronomy for 1903, forecasts of storms
and weather are given, as never before,
for every day in the year, all charmingly
illustrated with nearly two hundred en-
cravings The price OF single almanac
including postage and mailing is thirty
cents. Word and Works with the al
manac, is 81 a year. Write to Wore
