Hard One to Answer.

buy hat each.-

Hand over a hat" said one of the
party. I've won it."
When were you married."
Yesterday" was the reply, and the

Il say, John, how was it you didn't

The announcement that the Kan sas City Southern is to erect a fine railway hospital at Mena will be good news to the employees of that road,
 In addition to being a splendid thing for that road it will mean more to the city of Mena as becoming an important point on that line of road

There have been few persons more beloved in life than was Mrs. Me Kinley, the invalid wife of our mar tyred president, and yet the sorrow of the passing out of her life is sweetly tempered by the realization of her great dependence upon the companion so cruelty torn from her side. The loving devotion of Will liam Mckinley to his afflicted wife was one of the most touching stories of that good mans life, and it is not hard to believe that the doubly stricken woman welcomed with joyous heart the hour when she could lay down her burden of grief and join the soul of her life's companion on the other shore.

ANOTHER CHICAGO PROBING.
Grand Jury Inquirine Into Charges that Protection Money" Had
 6een Paid.

Chicago, May 24.-The grand jury began an exhaustive examination in the sensational charges that mid wives and doctors in various parts of the city had paid thousands of dollars protection money" in connec- tion with illegal surgical operations. Incidentally, the jury indicted Dr. Hagenow in connection with the death of Lola Madison, of Salt Lake. Utah. Dr. Hagenow was indict- ed on this charge year ago. but the indictment was found technically faulty. After Dr. Hagenow was called before the jury to testify to an inter view credited to her, later denied that she, in common with others, had escaped trial for years by the use of hush money" paid to a regular or ganized clique of politicians and pc lice. States Attorney Healy has as sumed personal charge of the inquiry.
 The number of illegal operations performed in Chicago in a year is said to be startling. The victims are mostly girls and women from the country coming here, or sent, through advertisements carefully worded and circulated privately and in such re- gular publications as would handle them. The post office department re gently barred the advertisements of a score or more suspected physicians and midwives, among them those of Dr. Hagenow, from the mails.

 As the Gazette is without doubt as anxious as any paper for the truth, will state that the city of Mena gave Stilwell park to the hospital associa- tion. the legislature only passing an act enabling the city to do so, and that the park is a picturesque piece of ground of just two city blocks.

It is reported the railroads are preparing to fight the 2-cent rate law.
 One of these acts of preparation, if we read the signs of the times aright, was the election of X. O. Pindall to the lieutenant governor ship. When Governor Little's criti- cal condition could not longer be concealed. his political friends, his political managers, who are also railroad political agents, began to lay the foundation for what has since occurred, and for what is yet to occur, in the program of turning the state government over to Davis control, which is but a cover and a name for railroad control.
 In order to succeed, it was neces- sary to seduce Pindall from his anti Davis professions by elevation to the governors chair. That accom- plished the rest will come in natural sequence. Fort Smith Times.

The story of the long contest over the location of the railroad hospital, as related last night at the meeting in Elks hall, could but impress the hearers with the faithful and intel ligent work that has been done by Mir.

 Being forced, as they were at all times. to recognize that the officials of the railroad would have preferred to have this institution located in Kansas City near the general offices, and that these officials had the power to name the location over any pro test if they so determined, they con ducted the campaign so consistently and with such good judgment that the majority of the board in the end willingly joined them in giving Mena the hospital.

DEATH IN A FIRE TRAP.
Burning of California Lodging House Causes Death of Eight
 or Ten Persons.

San Jose Cal, May 26.-Eight or ten persons are believed to have been burned in a fire that broke out shortly after 3 o'clock Saturday morning in the rear of Frederick Browns commission store on North Market street, near St. James. In few minutes the fire had spread to G. W. Lafferty's livery stable and to the Union lodging house above the stable. In the rooms above were 40 sleeping lodgers, who were first awakened by the noise made by the terrified horses in the stable below which were hemmed in and stam- peded by the flames. All the horses, 20 in number, were burned to death. In spite of the desperate efforts of the firemen. the flames leaped to the upper portions of the building and that all occupants were not caught in the death trap seems a miracle.
