adjournment that uncurried drove of
jack asses which has been stabling
in the state house since January,
capped the climax of idiocy by bray
ing forth in music tones the order
that bids for state printing made by
non residents may be accepted. Now
il they had just inserted, by way Of
amendment, clause allowing the
state to import its ass semblies from
the south sea islands, the people
would be benefited.
Batesvillc Guard: Newport had
her records stolen again. Her coun-
Gil had been granting to some of her
non attending church people the lib
erty of keeping open their "dogge-

on Monday and paying the treasurer
of the town five or ten dollars, as the
profits might justify, and the grand

lol everything was stolen out OF the
mayors office except black bottle,
winch was used as gavel. We be-
lieye that COW sucks herself.
Phillips County Patriot: An acct
dent occurred at Prescott by which
the Prescott High School was blown
up with dynamite. Some hoodlums
had been experimenting with the
deadly, death dealing compound and,
il is supposed, left it under the
house. Suppose that had been in
London, Liverpool or Manchester,
England? The whole country would
have been electrified by the intelli-
gence that the fenians had again
struck for liberty.

Wheeler's Independent: Although
Fort Smith is surrounded with coal
beds of the best coal in the world,
there is scarcity of this fuel in
market, just as there has always been
IN the spring time. The price is
regulated by the condition of the
wagon roads. We shall never have
cheap coal until tramways are built
out to the coal banks. For the past
two months the price has ranged
from 20 TO 30 cents. 1t is too much
for house keepers to pay for fuel, and
can be bought for less in the city of
London or Paris.
Wheeler's Independent: 1t is to
be regretted that with two railroads,
Fort Smith is to be deprived of the
benefits of cheap transportation,
