HOUSE INSURGENTS MEET.
Discussed Their Piars for Next Week
 Behind cloeed Doors.

Washington, Mar 13--For moT than three hours Thursday night thu Republican insurgents" discussed be. hind closed doors the details of ihi light they propose to make next Mon' day when the Sixty-first congress con. yenes against the adoption of the rulel of the last house to govern It.
 The leaders of the movement ex. pressed entire satisfaction with tho size of the meeting, claiming that at least ten more members would vote with them against the rules. It is known that much of the time at the meeting was devoted to discussion of a compromise with the organization forces.
 The suggestion was made that the insurgents enter Into compromise with the regulars whereby a commit tee would be appointed at the begin ming of the special session to revise the rules of the house Pending the report of the committee the rules of the last house would be enforced.
 The sentiment of the meeting was that the speaker should not have the power of appointing the committee If such 8 compromise was agreed upon.

FIRE DESTROYED
 TWO RESIDENCES
Home of Mrs. Lena Wilson Caught Fire and a House Belonging to J. A. York Could Not Be Saved
 Loss StS,00.

Thursday night at 8:30 while Fred Wilson was sitting in room at home, repairing shoe,a nose like heavy wind was heard. He paid little attention at first, but soon discovered the sound came from roaring flames and that the house was on fire and under such headway that none of the furni. ture could be saved. A fire alarm was turned in and the fire boys responded promptly, but not in time to save the residence of J. A. York, near by. A high wind was blowing and with the houses close together 1t was all the fire department could do to keep an other residence belonging to Mir. York from catching fire. Had this building caught, nothing could have stopped the flames from making clean sweep clear to the cemetery.
 Mrs. Lena Wilson's loss, amounting to about $l,000. is complete, as she carried no insur ance.
 The residence belonging te Mir. York that was burned wa: occupied by w. Paulu, who i' Inow working in Joplin, Mo-, while Mrs, Paulu was visiting a Acorn. Their furniture wal saved. Mir. York's loss amount to $500 with no insurance. H' desires to express his thanks through the columns of The Stal to the fire department for good work.

POLL TAX DECISION
Inquiry From Sebastian County Brings 0pirion From Attorney General
 Affecting April City Election.

Little Rock, March l2.-Iu re. ply to J. N. Jones, of Sebastian county, republican members oi the election commission for that county, Attorney General Ha Norwood has rendered an opin- ion holding that the poll tax re ceipts required tor use in the ensuing April municipal elections are those for 1907; that is, the re- ceipt secured in 1908 for the previous year, and not that paid iu 1909 for 1908.
 The opinion is based on the language of the law in which II is stated that the receipt must have been given for the time of collecting taxes next preceding tbat of the election at which it is desired to use the certificate
 The attorney general holds thai the present time of collecting taxes has not expired nor will have expired by the time the April elections are held, hence the receipts legally available are those secured during the tax collecting ''time" of 1905, all of whieA were for the year )07.

 Suuabble-Senate Kills a Bill.

Little Rock, March 12-The house this morning passed the bill providing for $10,000 relief fund for the Brinkley sufferers, and as soon as signed by the governor will be available for aid.
 The whole morning was taken up with routine and senate busi. ness, the only diversion being when Speaker Brown, who had relinquished the chair to Parks ot Lafayette, offered au amend ment to the Witt uniform text book bill providing that others than teachers and school superin- teudeuts be allowed to be named |on the text book commission. He said his experience led him to believe school superintendents were often in sympathy with book trusts. This created a sharp discussion the author Of the bill contending that school men are the only persons qnali- fled to sit on the commission.
 Sweet, of St. Francis, offered a resolution requiring the Confed- crate Home visiting committee to make report. He declared re- ports are current on the streets that ''somcthing is wrong' with the management, and, in justice to all, the committee should re- port. Adopted.
 In the senate, house business was considered. IL defeated by one vote the bill providing that the railroad commission shall constitute the railway assessment board and then adjourned till Monday.

 Johnson was politely told that the hotel was filled to oyerfcwing. The clerk was very sorry, adding Real ly MT. Johnson, 1t could not be help. cd" They did not have any room ana that was all there was to it. The fighter took the turndown with good grace the first time, but when 1t was repeated in five other hotels and espe- cially two dollar day houses he was abusive. Mrs. Johnson said very lit- tie, but was plainly very much dis gusted at the turn of affairs. Late Tn the evening they obtained accommo dations at the. Dominion. downtown hotel. Johnson spent part of the night at the home of George Paris, boxing instructor. This morning Johnson could not be found anywhere

JUDGESTEEL WAS CAUSTIC
Said It Would Take so Years for Ar kansas to Recover From Shame of
 (. R. Austin's Acquittal.

Little Rock, March l2.-Inci- dent to setting aside the verdict of the jury in the Howard county circuit court agains. the two girls convicted of burglary. Judge ]. s. Steel administered a scathing rebuke to the jury for returning a verdict of ac9uittal in the case of Cashier c. k. Aus tin, charged with emoezzlement. Judge Steel stated that the term of court was the most rem arkabie that he had ever presided over aud the most unsatisfactory. He declared that the defense in the Austin case was the most tlimsy and ridiculous he ever heard and that the county and state bad been stigmatized by the verdict of soquitlal returned by tue jury. Judge Steel said that he had been made heart sick by the criticisms he had read in the papers, both Tn the state and out, and that it will take 6lty years for Arkansas and "poor old Howard" to recover from ihe shame. The court de clared, however, that he felt no blame for the verdict, as the juries of lhe country are the peo. pie who enforce the laws or dis regard them, and said that the jur, which convicted the Keeuon girls should have convicted Aus tin. The statement of the court created a sensation, as the few present had no iutimation oi what was coming, being unpre- pared for such vigorous declara- ton of displeasure upon the part cf the court.

FRONT STREET HAS
 ANOTHER BLAZE
Fire Starts in Dixon Barber Shop and Cleans Up Lindsay's Pawnshop and Mrs. Goss' Restaurant
 Good Work by Firemen.

For the third time this week the alarm of fire has startled most Of Meua's people, thatof Fri- day night being caused by blaze that started in the HolliDgs- worth, formerly Dixon barber shop, on Front street, and prac- ucally cleaned out this room and one on either side, one occupied by J. E. Lindsay's pswnshop and the other by Mrs. Lena Goss' restaurant and lodging house.
 Mir, Lindsay was sitting alone in his place or business at 9:l5 p. m. when all explosion occurred in the barber shop next door, which was sufficient force 10 blow an opening through the walls. Imme- dlately after the explosion both buildings were os fire, as we'll as the restaurant and lodging house of Mrs. l.. A. Goss aud which was a two-story structure owned by I. I. Alley, most damage was done. Mrs. Goss was taking in the show at the opera house when the alarm was sounded and saved but little oi her furniture, her loss being estimated at $1, ,000. The building was worth from Si, ,00O to $l, 200 with only $500 insurance.
 Mir. Lindsay lost considerable property aud carried no insur- ance, This loss will amount to about $500.
 The Dixon Barber Shop was practically total loss, together with all of Or. Hollingsworth's s veterinary instruments. Hol- liugsworth carried $500 insurance aud estimates his loss at $500. Tho building occupied by Mir. Lindsay and Hollingsworth was owned by K. M. Quigley and carried nc insurance.
 B. w. .Teater, who also runs a restaurant near, was damaged considerably more by water than fire.
 From the best information ob- tainable the fire started either from some trouble in connection with the gasoline lighting plant or from a can of gasoline said to have been in the barber shop, though the source of the spark that caused the explosion is not known.
 The fact that the frame struc- lures standing on either side oi the burning structures and righ' against them were saved speaks volumes for the efficiency of the fireman and the water supply, which furnished over 100 pound: pressure to the square inch.
 The only trouble seemed to b' the bursting of the water hoss which either was of inferior quality or had been damaged.

 A love affair is supposed to be 1t the bottom of the runaway. It seems that she had been en- gagged to Warren Phillips, fire man on Kansas City Southern. The date for the wedding had been announced when an other man appeared on the scene and won the affections of the young lady with the result tha, she left home and friends to go with her lover.
 A brother. K. A. Turk, who is trying to locate her, found that she had registered at the hotel in Heavener "Wednesday and had taken train No. 3 south Wednes- day afternoon. He came on to Mena with the former lover, War ren Phillips only to find that she had gone to Texarkana.
