CAME BACK AFTER
10 YEARS ABSENCE
The Strange Flight and Return of an
Arkansas Enoch Arden.

& STEPHENS. Ark, July 18.-Nine-
teen years ago Jesse Dixon lived with
his family, a wife and seven children,
son his little farm, just three miles
south of where Stephens now stands,
and about one mile from the banks OF
old Smackovers creek. He was well to-
do. had plenty of this worlds goods
and happy family. He was promi
nent member of the Methodist church.
and the old church house is standing
yet where he had led the choir in sing
ing 1000 times. Honored and respect
ed, he was a good husband, loving
father, and apparently good Chris
tian. One bright Sunday morning
little over nineteen years ago, he got
up as usual, attended to all the little
things necessary about a well regu-
hated farm, ate breakfast. saddled his
mule, and, putting four or five ears of
Corn in his saddle pockets, laid them
across his mule. told his wife, who was
milking. that he was going down In
the creek bottom to feed his hogs (hogs
were wild then in the woods), and rode
away while the happy wife and chill
dren were preparing for the enjoyment
of Sundays rest.
That was the last seen of Dixon for
all these long years by any of his fam
lily. Night came on, but with it came
no husband or father. The neighbors
were notified and long, but vain
search began. His brother. Dave Dix

of the state. having been clerk of Co

was appealed to. He left 5ipess and
searched for days, but i'll vain. Had
the earth swallowed him up. or had he
eve pc: ated in the air the disappear
ance Of Jesse Dixon would not have
been more complete.
The heartbroken wife. worse than
widowed and innocent little children,
worse than orphaned. were forced to
cary on the battle OF life without hus-
hand or father. All the children were
small and the struggle for bread was
begun, to last for many long years,
but Mrs. Dixon was comparatively a
young woman and full of energy and
plenty of brain. She toiled as only a
good woman with seven little children
to feed and clothe can toll.
Sympathizing neighbors would oc-
casionally lend helping hand, the
children began to grow healthy and
strong and soon were able to work
Before long prosperity dawned and the
old house was rebuilt and enlarged,
acres were added to the farm. new
barns were constructed, the sheep and
cattle increased, and when the old man,
feeble and broken in health approach

the stately residence that stands in
front of the old, but he found the same
good wife. who. through all these dark
dreary years has proved faithful to her
first love. The little prattling children
are now grown to womanhood and
manhood.
A curious but interested crowd of old
friends were at the depot when Dixon
arrived. They were expecting him. as
Willie his favorite son when child,
had gone after him. He recognized
many old friends and shook their
hands cordially. He has been out in
the Western country and has prosper

dollars. Why he went away, why, he
remained so silent. are Questions that

and asked for his son Willie, and some
man out there wrote here to him.
While in doubt about it being his
father he went. Dixon was very much
surprised at the changes. Where
Stephens now stands he used to hunt
wild hogs, deer and turkey. When he
arrived at his old home the family, one
by one, came out to greet him. The
names Of his children he had forgotten.

Older Commercial Bodies.

A business mems social and CONNER

ing by the younger business element of
ST. Paul, at a meeting to be held at 10
o'clock at 391 Selby avenue.
The initial meeting was to have been
held last night. but was postponed I'M
til today About thirty-five progress
sive business men have so far signified
their intention of becoming members
of the proposed organization, and
large number of representative young
merchants and manufacturers are ex-
pected to attend the meeting this
morning.

working UP a sentiment in favor of
the club. sid last night that. although
the aim am object of the new organi-
zation will be somewhat similar to that
of the ST Paul Commercial club it
will in no way affect or interfere with
the work of that institution. The new
club will take VI matters for the bene-
fit of the city that the other organiza-
ton does not care to handle.
At the meeting this morning by
laws and a constitution will be adopt
ed, and the club will be well launched
in it's new field. 1t will probably de-
eide to secure as permanent quarters
the old club house of the Nushka club,
on Western avenue, near Selby avenue.
