The entertainment was especially :t- tractive and interesting for the children, who enjoyed immense ly his numerous slight of hand tricks, also his musical numbers, which were very pleasing.
 MT. Harrell was "assisted" in pulling off the Imaginable feat ures by Claude Erwin, Jr., Ru- jus Martin, Freeman Irby and Raymond Grant, who are still wondering how it was done."

Second Attempt to Wreck Train.

Second Attempt to Wreck Train.
 Fort Smith, Jan. 29.-The se-, cond attempt in six months to wreck the Kansas City-Hot Springs Special of the Missouri Pacific-1ron Mountain system, was made a mile south of Mack ey, Okla, 40 miles north of here, at midnight last night. Five barrels containing scrap iron and rocks, and four ties were placed across the rails. Had it not been that the train was forced to slow down for a cut and curve near by, it is believed that wreck would have followed. Engineer Pence brought the train to a stop within two feet of the ob- structions. The train, en route to Kansas City, was running be- hind time and after leaving Sal iisaw the engineer put on more speed to make up for the lost time.
 Last November an attempt was made to wreck the same train within 220 feet of the. point where the Instructions were found last night. The railroad company dispatched a force of special officers to the scene to- day. They allege that the persons responsible for the Instructions do not live near Mackey, and that the Instructions were haul ed a long distance.
