MAIL RoUrE.-An effort is being made
to secure the establishment Of new
mail route from Ghetopa to Coody's
Bluff and there is every prospect for
success. The distance is forty.two
miles aud the route will be through
well settled locality and one poorly
supplied with mail facilities. Three
postoiiices are TO be established. One
at p. b. Kinnison's, eight miles west
from Chetopa, will be named for that
gentleman. The next, twelve miles
farther, will be "Martin" and will be at
Dave Martins and ten miles farther on
will be Rome. 1t is to be kept by a
man named Ewers, living on Big creek
near Jim Martins. From there to the
Bluffs is ten miles. When the route
is opened the CHIKFTAIN expects TO get
a good list Of subscribers at the vari-
GUS offices.

DENoREsT's-The February number Of
this magazine is before us, and on ex-
animation we find it very readable. "a
Quaint Old CITY," which is profusely
illustrated, is quite interesting, and "a
Year in Los Angeles" and "Peter the
Great" are good articles. Mrs. Hart's
serial "rhat Other Person." is contin-
ued and the shorter tales are unusually
well told. "From Pencil to Brush" is
an admirable feature Of this magazine.
Jennie June furnishes a paper on the
origin of "Sorosis, and the art depart
ment is made attractive by a fine oil
picture, "Love's Postman," and pho
togravure from painting by Aubert,
and fifty other illustrations.

VERY CoLD.--A short time ago Gov.
Clayton, Of Eureka Springs, ordered by
telegraph seventy tons Of ice from a
Kansas firm. A few days ago two trains
OF twenty cars each rolled in, and in-
formation was received that the other
thirty cars would be along pretty quick.
An investigation showed that the tel
egraph operator had "bulled" the dis
patch from seventy tons" to seventy
cars" A legal fight with the telegraph
company will probably follow.
