BIG ATTENDANCE OF

Letters received by the local com mittees in charge indicate there will be an unusually large attendance of Woodmen at the biennial convention of the head camp, which meets here Tuesday, March IA, for a three days session. The fact that Conway is centrally located and easily accessible from nearly every portion of the state and a rate of fare and one-third on the railroads, is expected to cause a much larger attendance than was had at the convention in Fort Smith two years ago. Handsome souvenir pro- grams of the meeting are being print ed by the local committee for distri- button to the delegates on their ar rival here.

PRESENT STATUS OF
 THE SEVER CLAIMS
HEIRS YET HAVE CHANGE TO RECOVER MILLIONS FROM
 GOVERNMENT.

The claims of the Sevier heirs against the United States government nave not yet been lost, according to :. G. Sevier of Houston, one of the aeils, who states in a letter to Lit t.e Roe; paper that there is strong orol ahil.ty of these claims being al owed on final hearing. MT. Sevier's communication follows:
 Some days since there appeared in he columns of the Gazette an Asso- lated Press dispatch which stated in substance that the committee on Pri- vate Land Claims of the present con gress had made an adverse report on H. R. 23957 before said committee asking an appropriation by congress to pay the claims of the heirs of Gen eral John Sevier and John Sevier, Jr. The adverse report of Mir. Miller, chairman of the committee, said the pill would carry an appropriation of 56S 900 000 if made, and recommend q that it do not pass. Since the sub mission of his report, there has been minority report prepared and filed by R. Minor Wallace of Arkansas and c. H Morgan of Missouri, members of the committee.
 The minority report not only dis sents from the opinions of the ma iority, but takes up the case from the standpoint of the findings of the court of claims, the entire examination of all records before the committee at it's hearings, examination of important witnesses and public documents, etc., and recommends the adoption of it's findings as the proper solution of the case.
 The minority report of MT. Wal lace and MT. Morgan has been pre- sented to the United States senate by Hon. Robert L. Taylor, senator from Tennessee, who will espouse the cause of the claimants, which will add much strength to the measure before the body of which he is member, it be- ng most likely that MT. Taylor is more familiar with the facts in the ase than any member of either 1ranch of congress, he being native lennesseean familiar with everything pertaining to the history of his state.
 Since the filing of the minority re 0olt, telegrams are pouring into the capitol to the senators and congress men from the many heirs of Sevier and friends of the bill, who are anX- ious to see something like justice done, even after 100 years.
 It is confidently expected by the heirs and friends of the bill that the minority report will win out before the body, in spite of the adverse ma jority report. Respectfully,
 E. G. SEWER.

LOSS S8,500 IN
 FIRE AT QU|TMAN
FIVE BUILDINGS BURNED
THREE M ERC H A N s LOSE STOCKS, AND NO INSU-
 RANGE WAS CARRIED.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Quitman, Feb. 21.-Fire, originat- ing in the building occupied by Dr. w. M Allison's drug store at l o'clock this morning destroyed five business houses, the stocks of three merchants and one barber shop, occasioning a loss of least $8,500, on which there was not dollar of insurance carried. The losses were about as follows:
 Dr. w. M. Allison, stock of drugs, $500.
 Martin Bros, building and stock of general merchandise, S2,000.
 T. R. Dawes, building and stock of general merchandise, $3,500.
 C. B. Young, buildings occupied by pr. Allison and Alfred Linn, $500.
 Alfred Linn, barber shop, $200.
 Evans Bros, vacant building $200.
 The fronts of the Bank of Quitman and Dawes & Castellaw's buildings, across the street from the fire were considerably damaged.
 While the origin of the fire is un nown, it is believed to have caught from a defective fiue in the Allison store. The blaze was first discovered after midnight, and the entire town was aroused at once to fight the flames. All of the buildings being frame, high north wind and the ex- tremc cold made the work of the vol unteer fre-fighters unusually difficult and the one-sided battle lasted at least two hours.
 The loss falls very heavily on the 'wners of the burned property, as, so 'ar as can he learned today, not a 'ent of insurance was carried on any of the property. It is regarded as be- 'ng doubtful whether the burned dis trict will be rebuilt.

HOUSE GIVES DAY
 10 OLD CAPITOL
SHALL IT BE PRESERVED?
SENATE PASSES DEAF-M MUTE APPROPRIATION, CARRY
 ING S120,000.

Little Rock. Feb. 21.-The question of the preservation of the old state house will be resumed Wednesday morning in the house, with Repre- sentative Hurst of Washington coun- ty on the floor in opposition to the amendment offered by Representative Hardarge of Clark to add the referen- dunn to the Clark Meador bill. He had spoken an hour Monday evening when the house adjourned for the day, and Tuesday being Senate day, it had to go over It is expected that Mir. Hurst will talk for about two hours more, and it is whispered that he will make some startling political revelations before he has finished. For
 the state capitol proposition, as usual, people. as well as the legislators, are thoroughly aroused over the question as evidenced by the great number of
 .itizens who appear on the floor and in the galleries whenever it comes up, and the great interest displayed by all during the debate.
 The question occupied the attention 3f the house all day Monday, and it is tnown there are enough speeches in process of incubation to last another day Speeches were made during the ,,ag by Representative kerwin of tain of Franklin and others for the preservation of the state house and against the amendment which they characterized as a political subter- fuge. The authors of the bill, Clark of Lonoke and Meadors of Clark are among those who will yet make
 peaches on the subject. The fight for the amendment is being led by Hardage~ ef- Clarke county, Davis of Lafayette, Russell of Carroll.
 The senate devoted the greater part of the day Monday to discussion of the question whether the bill for the Deaf Mute appropriation of $120000 should be itemized It arose on mo- ton to put the bill back on second reading for amendment. Senators Clerget, Robertson and Covington ar gued in favor of the itemizing of the bills as a safeguard to be thrown about the disposal of the peoples money. Senator Holt, however, said he would be in favor of doing this
 and trusting to the boards, else they
 might as we'll abolish the boards.
 Senator Oldham declared that the boards during the last two years had saved S7,000, an evidence of what can be accomplished by business ad- ministration The motion to put the bill back on it's second reading for amendment finally was defeated, and the bill was passed with the amend ment of 5000 for clothing and $1,-
 800 for travelling expenses for indi-
 gent children.
 Senator Holland Monda yafternoon called up his bill for the commission form of government for cities, and
 amended by making it apply to Sebas-
 tian county alone. This was done
 without opposition.
