SUNDAY MORNING FIRES.
Department Called Out Twice Be-
tween r1idniqht and Daylight.


The fire alarm at IL 80 Sunday morn.
ing was caused by slight fire in room
over the Mug saloon on South street.
The room was nnoccupied and was used
for storage. and the origin Of the fire was
unknown. 1t was extinguished without
damage further than to the contents OF
the room.
The fremen had scarcely returned
from this fire, when the alarm rang
again, at 3:l5, caused this time by a
blaze in the woodshed in the rear OF the
residence of Attorney w. I. Agnew, ITO
West Wishkah street. Here the flames
had good start of the firemen, and but
for prompt action serious confiagration
would have followed.
The Drake family next door. was
awakened by the cracking OF the flames
and the discharge OF Mr.. Agnew's hunt
ing cartridges that were in the shed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Agnew and daughter were
sound asleep and knew nothing OF the
fire until the firemen broke in the front
door. The flames we're confined to the
woodshed which was filed with infama.
bic material as it was being used as a
workshop by carpenters, painters and
plumber who were at work remodellng
the house.
wing to the fact that the house was
being re.modeled. the loss to the Agnew 3
was almost as great, on the contents AS
if the entire building had burned. The
kitchen. dining room and parlor furnl-
tnre, clothing, pictures, books. memen-
toes etc from those rooms were stored
temporarily in the shed and were de-
stroyed. The loss is fully covered by
insurance in the Patterson " Locke
agency.

NO MORE PAID "PUFFS v

One Of the most important and COM
roendable provisions Of the new primary
election law is that prohibiting para

other periodicals published in the s'a'e'
1t is declared unlawful for the owner
ed;tor. manager, reporter or any emp'oye
Of a newspaper, magazine or periodical
TO accept or agree to accept any money
or other valuable consideration for the
support or advocacy Of any candidate or
candidates at any primary election. A
uenaltv of not less than $25 nor more
than $500, or imprisonment not less than
10 DAYS nor more than six months is I'M
posed for any violation OF this provision.
The prohibition does not apply, however,
to matter that is plainly marked paid

ism. 1t will place the newspapers Ut the
state above suspicion OF being the ehbsi'
dized organs of any party or any candi-
date. 1t will remove from those who al e
inclined to levy tribute'on candidates the
opportunity to do so. 1t will give to the
utterances of all newspapers more SUBJ
stantial influence wlthsthe people than
has in some instances !been the case
when it was known or suspected that the
support of the paper. was bought and
paid for.
It will be advantageous alike to candi-
dates, to party organizations and to
newspapers. Every newspaper is still at
liberty to say all it wants to in favor OF
or antagonistic to any.man' sscandIdacy,
but it must be free expression OF opin-

mercenary exhibitions sgiven by some
papers in past elections. The effect will
be an elevation of the general tone OF
Journalism.
The new act goes still further and de-
clares that no person shall be competent
to qualify for any public Office who, prior
to the holding of primary, shall have
paid or agreed to pay the owner, pub
Usher, manager or representative OF any
newspaper any sum ofEmoney or other
thing of value for the political support of
said newspaper. There is. therefore, a
double assurance. that newspaper advo-
cacy OF any candidates claims must be
free and uninhuenced by monetary con-
siderations. - Spokane Spokesman. Re-

There are rumOrs that Governor Little has suffered mental col lapse, and may never be able to eesume his duties as governor. His son denies the report. Sena. tor Sims prepared a resolution for introduction in the legislature a few days ago providing for the appointment of a committee to go to Corpus Christi and ascertain the exact condition of Governor Little, but the resolution was not Introduced. All reports from Corpus Christi have said Governor Little is improving, but Governor Little has been in a sanitarium at Corpus Christi now since early in January and it seems rather strange, to say the least of it, that 8 man can continue to improve for that length of time and not get well. When the governor went away it was said that he was only suffering from over work and needed rest from business cares. Taken altogether these re- ports rather indicate that there is something crooked somewhere, and we believe that the people of the state are entitled to a frank statement as to the condition of Governor Little.

It is reported that the Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain, Rock ls- land, Frisco and Missouri, Kansas & Texas roads are going to use half million dollars and hundreds of agents in an effort to bring about 100, 1000 immigrants to the Southwest.
 The Rock Island, Frisco and the Missouri Pacific will send repre- sentatives to Europe who will work from established bases at various places. These two systems may add materially to the popula- tion of Arkansas within the com ing twelve months.

DAMAGE SUIT FAILED

The suit of Hattie May Burcher and Laura k Turner against Henry Reeves for 5000 each for false arrest, heard in the circuit court Monday, resulted in yer dict for Reeves. The young wo. men, who are sisters, were en- ployed by Reeves, on his farm on Cave Creek, in April of last year. Upon reciving news that their brother was very i'll at Sulphur Rock they left the Reeves place and stated for that town. When hardly more than quarter of a mile from the place, Reeves over took and halted them and charged them with stealing money to the amount of $145 from him, and compelled them to return to his house, where he searched them and sent for an officer. Before the arrival of the officers, however, Reeves found his money in his trunk, where his wife had placed it in another part of his pocket book from that in which it was usually kept. He thereupon re- leased the young women and con fessed his error. The women allege that on account of his de- tention, they arrived at Sulphur Rock too late to see their brother alive, he having died in the mean time; and sued Reeves, with the result announced above. - Bates vile Guard.
