 For T0ney.
HURST IS ALSO OUT

Little Rock, Ark, Jan 6.-State senator II K Toneys election was doubly assured tonight when the an- nouneement came that Senator John White, of Logan county, had with drawn from the race for the presi- deney of the state senate, and that all his votes had been thrown to Sena- tor Toney, of Jefferson county. Sena- tor Sam Rowland, who had beea managing Senator White campaign for the senatorial honor, was placed ill charge of the Toney headquarters and Senator A. E. Yopp, who has been looking after Senator Toney's fences, Willingly retired from the manage ment of MT. Toney's campaign. There ey headquarters following the an- nouncement and even the most loyal supporters of Senator Logan, the only opponent of Senator Toney, are doubt- ful as to his election, while Toney's friends are positive that he will be elected on first ballot.
 Abner Hurst, of Washington coun- ty, one of the candidates for tho speakership of the House, withdrew at about the same time the White announcement was made in the sena- torial contest His followers have gone to Frank MilWee of Monroe county, who is also assured of elec- ton. Representative Black, of Sebas- tian county, remains Mr. Milwee's on- ly opponent and his chances are said to be very slim for success It has been generally conceded all along that Milwee would be the next speaker of the House and the fact that Governor Donaghey favors him for the place, is an assurance that he will be the suc- eessfu aspirant
 Senator Toney has never been in doubt as to his election to the presi- dency of the senate and tonight he is even more positive of this assurance. His campaign headquarterS in the Marion were crowded until late hour and caucus, held by Represen- tative Milwee and his friends in his rooms, brought many Milwee supports CTS there earlier in the evening. Rep- resentatve E. J. Kerwin of Jefferson county, is doing much to elect Rep- resentative Milwee and is in charge of his headquarters.

 MT.

He had no sooner walked into the building when the lighted cigar he was smoking came in contact with some gaseous compound that had leaked from the pipes and there was a terrific explosion. Mir. Hastings was knocked several feet and had it not been for the prompt appearance of clerk in his store. the fire would have reached tank near by and great damage would have re- suited from a second explosion The pipes were disconnected and the fire eXtinguished before any damage was done, aside from that to a part of the building in which the gas plant was stored
 Mir. Hastings wore a pair of glasses at the time of the explosion and to them the physician attributes the fact that his eyes escaped burns.
