Blaze at Walnut Ridge.

Walnut Ridge, Feb. 28. Mon day night the residence occu- pied by w. G. Pinnell in the southern part of the town caught fire and was burned to the ground within few minutes af+er~ tho fire was discovered, Mrs. Pinnell heard a cracking noise in an adjoining room, and sent the nurse in to see what it was. When the girl opened the closet door flames burst out. Mrs. Pinnell turned in the fire alarm, to which a large number of people responded, and suc- ceeded in saving most of the household effects, She lost some valuable diamonds. MT. Pinnell at the time was not at home.
 The cottage belonged to H. L. Ponder, and was covered by in- surance. The house next door, occupied by c. A. Darlington, was damaged about $100. Some of the furniture was badly in- iured in removing it from the nearby houses. The wind blew furiously from the north. and it was by close watching that Dr. Ponder's house across the block was saved.

FrisCo-katy's Portion.

According to an order issued by the department of railway mail service the fast mail train run by the Katy and the Frisco from St. Louis receives a much larger portion of the mail busi- ness than it has heretofore had. The routing of the mail for Tex as under the new order gives to the Katy-Frisco combination the handling of all the mail in the territory bounded by the Katy main line to Taylor, Texas, and on the South by the Interna- tional & Great Northern.
 At the initiation of the Frisco Katy fast mail practically the only matter that these roads re- ceived was the mail for Fort Worth and a few connections. A later routing gave the combi- nation the Fort Worth mail and that for all connections where time could be gained. The fast mail routing order, just issued, gives the Katy-Frisco the hand ling of at least twice as much as was expected. The Gould lines will. retain the mails to Dallas and the southwest.

DAVIS MAKES A BLUFF.
Hot Springs Sporting Element Don't Beieve Reform Gan Come from
 Governor With Miitld's Aid

Hot Springs, Teb. 28.-The threat of Coy. Davis to close gambling in this city in April is taken by the offi>ia $ as polit- 1 ical bluff to place Garland county in the Jeff Davis column when the senatorial race is concluded. i The message received here last evening was to the effect that Gov. Davis had determined to close all gam ling houses here # the state militia was required to enforce his orders.
 Mayor Bedding was seen ln his office and made acquainted with the import of the message. He has been a close political ally of the governor for the past six years, and the reading of the message caused him to do noth- ing more than smile. When asked for an expression he said that he had nothing to say. The question is too delicate for me to discuss" he added.
 Sheriff Williams, in his char acteristic manner, spoke freely. Il did not expect reform move ment from that source," he said, and if the lid is to be placed on Hot Springs it will take Jeff Davis and his militia to hold it down. He continued: Gov. Davis has visited this city on several occasions and spent the major portion of his time in the gambling houses. He has col lected campaign funds from the same source, and is now aroused because he is absolutely certain that Garland county will roll up a large majority against him in the race for senator.
 The threat caused commotion among the proprietors of the clubrooms, but they now feel that it was only a bluff on the part of Charles Jacobson, the private secretary of the govern or.
 Gov. Davis is withholding the appointment of a prosecuting at- torney for this district, believing this to be sword of Damocles to force the recalcitrant local off, fcers into supporting him.
