nArress All Armed Men.

Summon a posse, go to the scene of the trouble at once, command peace in the name of the State, ar. rest and disarm all armed men on either side and tell them they will suffer the penalties of the law if they resist.
 This, in brief, was the message Gov. Jones sent to the authorities of Sebastian county yesterday when he learned the news of the Hun ting ton trouble,
 Sheriff c. T. Harrell of Sc bastlan county happened to be in Little Rock on official business when the tidings came from Huntington. When he heard the news he hasten ed to the governors office and held a conference with the chief execu- tive. After a hurried eonfab with the governor, Sheriff Harrell secured telegraphic connection with his office at Fort Smith, and gave these instructions: "Get together q posse of cool, determined men and go to Huntington prepared to preserve tte peace in accordance with tne orders of the governor. Take DO side. Be cautious. but do your duty. Command the peace in name of the State of Arkansas"

GOhEz-BROOKE QUARRFl
Soldiers Claim They Have R.., Fooled and Trapped by the

New York, May Is The HeraI5. Havana correspondent telegraph,
 The situation here has bsoo.. most alarming. To all appearane.' the Cubans are about to makearn,s manifestations against the Unit.5 States and it's mode of goyernisa the island, although tbe copsorv, tive element still hopes for peaoahl arrangements.
 This state of affairs, which v.. brought abruptly 10 head last Sat urdaY by partial quarrel petwps, Gen. Gomez and Governor Gensrl Brooke, has been forming for il. last two months. The first movs has been made by the army. ltRiI probably be supported by many Cubans.
 The army, which is really repre- sented-although many dispute hs authority-by Gen. Gomez, is par. ticularly bitter against General Brooke and bis policy. The soldiers declare they have been miseraby fooled and trapped by the Amer. cans. They look upon the exchange of a gun for s75 as an ignominiog transaction for them, as they have not been defeated by Americans and consequently they refuse to sl- change.
 Some persons say the determina tion of the army not to surrenda arms $ an outcome of Gen. BrooGs5 refusal to sanction Gen. Gomels scheme for a Cuban militia. Attbs Cuban headquarters the statement is indignantly denied, in particuIar by Gomez, who, however, refuses to discuss the present. situation,

HIS SHZRT TOO.

Right, brother; and Col. lube might have shed bis shirt, too-we presume there were no ladies pres ent. Bro. Neal takes the floor and we shall brace him at the back with a cross-bar that he may not wander of the platform. Hear him.
 The Supreme Court is growing too large for it's pan.ies. By what right did it deny lube Davis the privilege of pulling off his coat while arguing the insurance case last Saturday? We would like to have an answer to this question, and so would thous ands of our fellow citizens. Has it come to the pass that free born merican citizen cannot manifest his zeal in what ever manner seems best to him? Have the hell-hounds of the opposi- tion DO shame at all? Would they wrest from the people the last and  most sacred of their rigtts? lube should note an exception, and then when he again goes out for an office, which will be at the next election, he will be able to show how the trust oligarchy spreads it's tentacles over all the country, not excepting the sacred precincts of our courts, Besides, how much better is the Supreme Court, than the Justice of the Peace Court, except that it has the privilege of making the last guess at questions of law? In the Justice of the Peace courts up ;here in the mountains where Attorney General Dazis halls from, an attorney has the privilege of pulling off his coat, and even his vest, and in extreme eases can un- button his shirt collar and remove his crayat. And up there in the mountains was not the spirit of lib- erty born? And also, does it not begin to appear that liberty is dead in this boasted land of freedom? The World insists, and It is in dead earnest, that the Supreme Court has treated Mir. Davis shamefully. If in present ting what he calls his ar. gument, it becomes necessary, in his judgment, in order to more ve- hemently unchain the reservoirs of his eloquence in behalf Of the down trodden people, to remove his coat, why should the Supreme Court ob- ject? It strikes the World that Mr. Davis might, if the emergency seemed to demand the sacrifice, have removed his shoes without damage to the law in the case.
 If Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko felbs
 Should not she compliment lube Davis as

THE OUTLOOK.

Pine Bluff now has her eye cast in
 the right direction, and just beyond the old-time bill of Well-enough is bright outlook which is casting reflection and influence which is be- ing perceptibly felt bv our city.
 Pine Bluff is now imbued with a spirit of enterprise that if properly directed means much for the city and her people, Ia the matter of directing this spirit of enterprise, however, great vigilance and mature dehberation should be exercised. Make haste slowly" is @ maxim that should be observed in all un- dertakings. small or great, if true success is to be the crowning re- ward. But while this maxim should be, in the strict sense of its meaning, adhered to no time or useless efforts should be expended, The forces brought to bear should bn so con- eentrated as to bring about the quickest and yet the best and most satisfactory results. This is the plan Pine Bluff now seems to bel working upon, and already an out lined index points to an ending that will shed a great and lasting benefit upon our city. The impetus set in motion by this work is bearing fruit, and soon the rlpened product will be greatly in evidence. Promoters of various enterprises are looking toward Pine Bluff and Investigating her many advantages in way that Is bound to tell in a great consum- mated end in the near future.
 The Austin 6 Sawyer Lumber Company has been secured. The advantages and benefits to be de- rived by the city from this enter prise alone will be such as would lend great and powerful leverage to any city with which to draw oth- CT enterprises and to secure other adgan tages and benefits. In the wake of this enterprise is another attracting attention and claiming the consideration Of Pine Bluf-the Lamb < Company manufacturing establishment. This is an enter prise much to be desired, and TO time should be lost in placing it in line with the Austin & Sawyer en- terprise, and such, we firmly be- heve, will be the case. When busi- ness people put their heads together it is an easy matter to reach a de- cislon. Such was the case in the Austin x Sawyer business. No sleepY-heads were allowed to get in their work, and we hope this will prove true in the Lamb & Company enterprise. Pine Bluff has enough wide awke business men, who know a good thing when they see it, to preserve and further the city's in terest, and they now seem fully alive to the issues before and de. pendent upon them. Further mo- tice will be given Lamb & Company. And in conclusion we would say, this outlook which has presented itself to Pine Bluff, let not its brightness be dinmed in the least, but instead let every possible effort be made by our citizens to make this brightness greater still, and have it shed such luster over and around our city that the eyes of the commercial world in general will be centered here with a business look.

"Shot them in the woods. did your

amt you? Come over here, and Ill
show you the coops | raised them in"
There was nothing else to do. They
went TO the shanty, Hezekiah tuning
all the way and vowing what hcwould
do. There was no longer any doubt
about the identity of the birds. The
coops were there as a proof of IT, Then
the two offered to pay dollar each for
the turkeys. but Hezekiah would have
none of their money. lie would have
the law on them and teach such know
nothings a lesson about killing other
peoples turkeys. Finally he reluctant
ly consented TO take S. each for the
birds and say no more about 1t.
The two sports went back to town,
not to warn others of the danger, but
to boast of their prowess. True, they
had paid well for their sport, but IL
was not their place TO publish such a
thing. Besides. there were some other
fellows ia town that they would like
to see taken in.
Next day Hezekiah was kept busy
holding up the unsuspecting crack
shots from town. Each man paid his
hush money and went home poorer
but more enlightened hunter.
Every day the flock got thinner and
thinner, and the old sock in Hezekiahs
shanty grew more corpulent according
ly. Before the week was over the rem
nants Of the flock lowered so close TO
the shanty that even a city hunter
would not think of calling them wild.
Hezekiah now thinks that there is
nothing on earth that will beat turkeys
for making money, and this year his
Thanksgiving win be one Of unadulter-
ated gratitude.
