$4,000 Fire In Pocahonlas.

Pocahontas, April 22.-About
1 O'Clock this morning the D. l.,
Akers undertaking esta blishment
was destroyed by fire. The
family, who lived in one end Of
the establishment, barely escaped
with their lives. Nothing was
saved from the building, as it
was enveloped in flames before
the alarm was given. Mr.. Akers,
the undertaken, was at Memphis
attending a session of the en-
balming school, and knew nothing
of the fire until he arrived on the
morning train. The loss is es-
timated at S4, 900, with $4,000 in
surance.

noon. He said in substance that
he considered it a breach of good
taste for the governor of Nebras-
ka to come here and discuss
sectional issues long since dead;
that he thought this subject
should be approached in gum
shoes and that in every patriotic
Southern heart there was shrine
dedicated to the lost cause.
During this period of Gov.
Davis address the silence was
tense, and it was only relieved
when he passed to other matters.
At the conclusion of his address
Gov. Davis was greeted with
prolonged applause and as he
went down the aisle an i'm
promptu reception was accorded
as he passed through the throng
to the cruiser Galveston, which
vessel fired a salute OF seventeen
guns in honor of him. He will
leave the city tomorrow morning
on his return to Arkansas.

Senator j. E. Mccall is trying
to get a bill through the legisla-
ture allowing the two districts Of
Lawrence county to vote separa.
tely on the whiskey license ques-
ton. The proposed measure is
arousing considerable criticism
over in our neighbor county,
especially in the western dis
trict, which always returns a
majority against license.

Frank Clark of Lawrence
county, convicted last August of
carnal abuse and sentenced to
three years in the penitentlary,
was pardoned last week by Cover
nor Davis. And yet it hasn't
been but about five or six weeks
since the governor declared he
would consider no petitions for
pardon in carnal abuse cases,
unless recommended by the trial
judge, prosecuting attorney and
trial jury.

At last Arkansas is to have a
state re orln school for the deten-
ton of law breakers under the
age of IS years, a bill appropriat-
ing $50, 900 for the establishment
of such an institution having
passed both houses of the general
assembly and being sure of the
governors signature, as that
official has been earnest in his
advocacy of such measure.
Under the act, the institution
shall be under the management
of the penitontiary board, and
shall be located at the point in
the state Offering the best in
ducements. The establishment
of this school will reflect credit
upon the present general assem-
bly,.

George W. Donaghey of Con-
way has published a lengthy
article criticising the work so for
done on the new state capiol, but
as Mr.. Donaghey was an unsuc-
cessful bidder for the contract to
construct the building, his
epistle exhibits sym ptoms OF
soreness.

Rev. George r. Stuart, an
evangelist who is holding a
series of meetings at Fort Smith,
referring to some who attended
church in carriages and fine linen,
said he could put a bloodhound
on their trails and the dogs would
likely chase their grandfatEers
up a persimmon tree and they
would be found barefooted. Lots
of "fine linen" folks boast of
their ancestry and "blue blood
as if blood made real men and
women any more than alum water
or beer foam.

Pulaski county should feel
proud of its Senator Rison, and
if Montgomery county isn't just
tickled to death over Representa-
tive Wasson, it deserves to be
rubbed off the map. The former
has had a bill passed forbidding
hunters to shoot birds with a gun
that fires more than two times at
one loading, and the latter has
pushed through a measure re-
quiring circuses to show all they
advertise. We doff our hats to
these gentlemen. They are the
greatest statesmen in the lot,
and ought to be in the United
States senate, where they could
have a broader field for the work
of reform.

A late magazine publishes sta

Rockefeller, the Standard Oil
king, has contributed to educa-

have added, was wrung from the

graft.

The lower house of the general
assembly has indefinitely post
poned the bill, which passed the
senate, making the place of
delivery Of intoxicating liquor

of this bill would have been a

The White County News says
Arkansas never had a man in
the United States senate who ac-
complished more for the people in
the same length of time than has
Senator James p. Clark. We
suppose this ia an Indirect way
the News has of accusing former
senators from Arkansas of doing
nothing.

United States Senator O. H.
