ELECTIONS.

Arkansas has already had many elections this year, and still there are more to follow There have been primary elections for every office on the calendar of every governmental 1 division, n,-national, state, district, conuty and municipal. The general municipal elections have already been held, and we have yet before us the general biennial election this fall, and we are we'll in the midst of the national campaign.
 There is however another election which must not be overlooked and which, in many respects, is of greater importance to the individual elector than any of the other elections. THIS Is TIE ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION, SATURDAY, MAY IS.
 As the public school is the very basis, the foundation stone. of good government, so are the duties Cf those who vote at the school election of gravest importance. The divisions are so small, each neighborhood al most being separate unit, that each vote IS an important factor.
 lt is important that good citizens, who are intelligently interested in better public school conditions and who will devote their time and energy to the cause, be elected direc- tors. It is also important that a sufficient school tax be voted and in most instances this means the full seven mills, permitted by the consti- tuition.
 All citizens are urged 10 vote at the SCHOOL ELECTION SATUR- DAY, MAY IS.

ened by the cracking OF the flames
which emerged from an adjoining room.
He Immediately gave the alarm and
made an effort to extinguish the flames,
but without avail, as the fire had made
considerable progress The alarm was
rung in from box "a TO 4:l5 yesterday
morning. The fire department upon ar
rival had some difficulty in procuring
water as the hydrant on Weaver street

hose to the hydrant on Main street, some
distance away from the fire.
The origin of the fire is not known
but is thought to have caught from
an overheatod stove or defective pipe
in the lower tenement, making rapid
Roadway to the apartment above.
The property was valued at about 3d.,
800 and was nearly destroyed from
fire and water Mr., ,Parizo carries in
s,lrauce on the building for one-third
