ARKAAsAN INSURED.
5. M. Powell of Little Rock Knocked Down by the St. Louis Assistant Fire
 Chiefs Buggy.

St. Louis, Feb. 4. IS. M. Pow ell of Little Rock, state agent for Arkansas of the Metropolitan Lis Insurance Company, was struck by a buggy driven by ". c. Panzer, acting assistant fire chief, at the corner of Broadway and Walnut streets, yesterday afternoon, receiving serious in- ternal injuries. Ed Heffernan, a clerk in the New St. James Hotel, saw the accident and car ried MT. Powell into the hotel, where Dr. J. B. Coryell was summoned. It is thought MT. Powell's spine is injured.
 MT. Powell was en route to New York. Missing his train connections he started for the Southern Hotel and he had just alighted from a Laclede avenue car when the buggy struck him. Heffernan says that the buggy knocked Powell fifteen feet. He says also that Panzer was not ringing the gong.
 Panzer stated that he was re- turning to the engine house at No. 415 South Broadway; after answering an alarm from Eighth street and Washington avenue, and was driving slowly. He says that Powell was watching the car and walked in front of the buggy. It was too late to give an alarm, and he jerked the horse to one side, striking Powell with the front wheel. Panzer stopped his horse at Elm street and returned to the hotel.
 MT. Powell has a wife and one child living at Little Rock, Ark. They were notified of the acci- dent by telegraph that night. The matter was not reported to the police. Dr. Coryell stated that the injured man could not be removed from the hotel for several days.

asUIcIDE CLUB" FLoUR1sHES.
Young Women of Boise, Idaho, Have Organization md Choose
 Victims by Lot.

Boise, Idaho, has fully organized suicide club. That 1t is ready for busi- ness and has already transacted con- siderable business is shown by the fact that at least three of its members have "shufied off" by the suicide route with in period of as many months.
 The fact of the existence of the organ ization became known to the police in an investigation into the death of Grace Ashton, it's latest victim. She died from morphine poisoning on third attempt at suicide, both of her previous attempts having been frustrated through season. able discovery by friends.
 Another young woman friend of Miss Ashton attempted suicide by liking poi son, but recovered, and it was through her that the existence of the club was made known. The club is regularly or ganized with strong membership-all young women-and holds meetings at regular intervals. It transpires that at each meeting a new victim is chosen by lot, who Is to "pass off, before the time for the next meeting by one of the usual methods adopted in such cases, the par ticular mode being optional with the can didate.

Philippine Positions Not Wanted.
 Positions in the Philippines seem to go begging. Several months ago Col Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, called upon the civil service commits sion to certify candidates for 150 teachers positions paying from $2,0O0 to s900 per annum. There were few applicants, fewer took the examina- tion, and only 42 were found eligible for appointment. Another examina- ton will, therefore, be held early in October. The insular bureau will not permit women to take the examina- tion for these positions, and the du- ties or pay of pedagogue do not seem to appeal to the young men of the country.

GOVERNMENT SEES.
busy Insects Belonging to the Agri- cultural Department swarm
 to Market.

Doubtless the only members of the |government's gigantic force of em- ployes who goto work before nine o'clock a. m. and continue toiling until sun down are the Italian bees kept by the de- partment of agriculture. These, the smallest of our domestic animals, are kept by the department for experimental purposes and for stocking it's various substations, says the Washington Post. Some time ago these government bees discovered that Center maket was a far better pasture than the flower beds and vegetable gardens of the depart ment, and there they resort every day, to no small discomfort and annoyance of commission dealers, hucksters, gard- Eners and restaurant proprietors, whose Istock in trade the industrious little in EHectss prey upon.

What is moreA there are about Center market q number of open-air eating booths, to which thF bees resort in large numbers to collect honey from various sweet dishes, pArticularly apricot, apples, peach, pruee and huckleberry pie. The funny part\of it all is that the commis- sion dealerN fruit handlers and res taurant keeAers are afraid to offer any opposition tb their intrusion for fear the plucky little insects will resent 1t.
