It is believed that the new speaker will see that the plat form demands get the consideration which the governor desires.
 The Senate, relieved of Senator Bascom Thomas, who was expelled last Saturday, started of in a rapid manner. Mir. Kelley introduced a sine die adjournment resolution to. end the extra session on April IS. upon which no action was taken and will not be, as the governor will send in other subjects for legislation be- fore that time.

All the neigh boring cities and all Arkansas has tened to aid the unfortunate However, Brinkley is still scarcely more than a mass of ruins. After days and nights of incessant effort. the people rendered homeless by the disaster have scarcely provided themselves with temporary shelter, and few are sure of the next days provisions. The streets are still piled with the wreck age and debris left by the tornado. although a driveway has been made through the principal ones.
 The people have worked tremen- dously. They have labored night and day to recover from the blow. And able assistance has been given from outside sources, but the work has been largely that of the tenn porary relief of the destitute, the care of the injured and the search for and burial of the dead.

900. Over 35 persons were killed and upwards of 200 badly injured.
 Many victims of the tornado's wrath did not hear the storm above the ripping and crashing of their homes Others do not even remember of hear ing that much. One physician, whose home was practically destroyed, while six monster trees were blown down in his yard, declares he heard nothing except a slight ripping of boards and did not know his trees were down un- til after the storm. Another victim says he heard only the tinkle of fall ing glass as the storm passed.
 The people are suffering now from scarcity of water. A sawmill has been pressed into service and has succeed ed in getting a few feet of water in the tank, but the service pipes throughoutout the city are broken
