About 8 O'Clock this morning a fir
alarm was turned in, but for which, for
tunately, there was no occasion, as il
appears that some person with very

OF smoke issuing from the residence OF

be on fire. Such, however. was not the
case, the smoke arose from a Christmas
tree which the youngsters had crowded
into the stove and were burning. We

us a pleasant call this morning.
From him we learn that the suffer
ers from Saturdays cyclone are in

destroyed excepting six or seven.
Mr.. Noel informed us that Shreve-
port had come TO their rescue no.

which has fed and clothed many,
and the Charity hospital in that
city was still caring for those injur-
ed. lie stated that lumber is more
badly needed now than anything
else, and stated that the people OF
Mooringsport would deeply appre-
ciate a donation Of about three car
loads Of lumber, so that the school
house ana parsonage might De re-
built. We certainly can send the
lumber to our suffering neighbors;
let us do 50 without delay. Let a
committee see our lumbermen and
citizens at once, and we doubt not

sENAToRsHP CONTROVERSY.
On the eve of the convening of
the legislature a surprise has been
sprung by the report that the po-
sition of senator for the Twentieth
district, composed of Nevada and
Hampstead counties, is likely to be
declared vacant by Gov. Clarke. A
short time previous to the last gen
era! election A. B. Williams of
Washington, the hold-over seGdtor,
died, and as it was only short
time until the general election no
special election was called. A. A.
Gibson of Hope, a Democrat, and
T. W. Hayes of Prescott, Popu-
lite, were the nominees of their re-
spective parties at the general elec-
tion in September, and Hayes was
elected, 1t has been reported by
some that Gov. Clarkes intentions
are to declare the Office vacant, for
the reason that the election was
not legal as it was held without
proclamation by the governor
which is provided in case of such
vacancy as caused by the death OF
Williams. Gov Clarke was not Of
fcially notified of the death of SEN
ator Williams until today. A very
fine legal point is involved in the
question, and there is likely to be a
spirited contest over the matter.
Gov. Clarke has not committed
himself as to what action he will
take in the premises.
LEGISLATIVE OFFICERS.
1t is now almost positively assured
that there will be a caucus of sena-
tors to agree upon senate officers
and employees but there is much un.
certainty as to whether the repre-
sentatives will pursue a similar
course.
The speakership contest is destin-
ed to come to focus very soon, mas
much as there is promise Of the
race narrowing down today to two

rolling was indulged in yesterday,
and last night the candidates who
are on the ground engaged in some
caucusing on their own hook.

ted scenes. AS new members arrly-
