we can make enough money with which to erect our homes which were wiped out by the flames.
 The fire started along Ouachita avenue, but crossed the thoroughfare just out of the thickly congested business district or otherwise the whole of Central avenue might have been destroyed
 This gave the business men en- couragement Saturday morning as they looked over the ruins wrought by the grim demon who fought all the efforts of man to check him ill his race across the city.
 While many of the business men along Ouachita avenue did not seem so, optimistic, they said that they would start to rebuild as soon as they received their insurance money.
 Amid the scenes of desolation the business men gathered and the more fortunate ones, agreed to lend help ing hand to the less fortunate ones in the fire
 Phone Plant Safe
 The plant of the Southwestern Tel egraph and Telephone Company was not destroyed as at first reported, all though Manager E. B. McKane of the Hot Springs office reported that the company's loss would be about $125,- 600. It's wires and poles were all de- stroyed throughout the burned area, and over 800 telephones are out of commission. The company also had about s5O,00O worth of cable and equipment stored on vacant lot in the path of the flames and this was destroyed.
 Loss Less Than $1O,0OO,O ,OOO
 Little Rock. Ark. Sept. 6.-'1 believe the estimated loss of $100OO,- 900 is excessive, and that it will not reach moro than half that amount We have no definate estimate of insurance loss, but believe the loss of the L.. B. Leigh agency will be $4O0, ,000'
 It. is estimated that the loss of the Adams & Boyle general agency will be about $25O,O00. L. Hirsch, their adjuster, will represent them there.
 The largest Individual loss was that of the Park Hotel Company. The loss was approximately S40O.oD0, with $200,00O insurance. 4+-4t .-. .
 Mayor Taylor will return from Hot Springs later in the day, it was announced by Secretary Fletcher Chenault today, and in the meantime will attend a mass-meeting which will be called at that place.
 While Little Rock sent part of it's fire apparatus to the threatened dis trict, yet there is enough equipment left in this city for all ordinary pur- poses. In the central fire station, alone. are three engines and the chiefs car.

G a m a b on as Mission to Washington Will Be to
 Stop the War.
WILSON IS WILLING
Said That He is Also An Agent of the Wilson AdministratiOn.-A Of.
 iicial Talks.

Washington, Sept 6.-This city is to be the scene of negotiation looking to the end of the bloody factional war in Mexico that has exacted thousands of lives, brought the United States and her southern neighbor on the verge of war and caused damage amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars.
 It was learned definitely today that the mission of Manuel Gamabona to this country is to bring about an ar mistice between the contending fac tiOns.
 This definite information was given out today by an official who declared that Senor Gamabona is not only an envoy of General Huerta, but is also an agent of the Wilson administra- tion.
 q mean," said this official "that as both President Wilson and General lHuerta know there can be no election without an armistice, President Will son is as much interested in the suc- cess of GamabOna as are all those in Mexico who wish to make an end to this war. There is no doubt that Gamabona will be received with open arms for the purpose of this mission. The way will be wide open to him to look after the finances of the foreign railroads in Mexico and incidentally, but only incidentally, after funds to put any new Mexican government on it's feet"
 There is no one who can approach rebuff than Gamabona. The place to bring about an armistice in Washing ton. The headquarters of the opposi- tion to Huerta are in this city and it is said that the sinews of war are provided for this opposition.
 ''The diplomacy of the Constitu- tionalists is conducted at Washington so that from all points of view and | for the practical result the trian- gular negotiations of President Will son, General Huerta and General Carranza would be best neld hcre." The Department officials admit | that if an armistice can be brought about all the other questions such as non-candidacy of Huerta, etc.. are simply academic and have nothing to do with the late issue, which has been increasing in virulence ever since the fall of Diaz.
 Huerta Will Be Candidate Mexico City, Sept. 6.-There is not the slightest doubt that Huerta will l be candidate in the presidential election on October 26. How this will be accomplished when consti- tutional amendment forbids a presi- dent holding more than one term is not worked out but way will be found Huerta will run and be elect ed.
 The fact that he is merely presi- dent ad interim will propaply pro- vide a loopholc for constitutional lawyers to show way for his can didacy. His campaign was opened today when Fl Notivioso. a govern ment evening newspaper, printed an article apparently inspired. saying:
 General Huerta holds the right to figure in the approaching election and it is absurd to pretend to elimi- nate the man who has shown such aptitude for governing the nation"
 Minister Gamboa reiterated today that Huerta has never said he would not be candidate, which is con- sidered here tantamount to saying he will be.

The Railroads and the Parcel
Post.

All the the railroads Of the West
have joined in request on the Post
Office Department for an increase in
pay for handling parcel post. During
the first six months OF the parcel post
the Government received over eleven
and a quarter millions of dollars in
revenue from this class Of mail mat
ter, but did not pay the railroads one
dollar for handling the service. Com
mencing July 1st the government has
been allowing the railroads five per
cent increase in their postal pay to
reimburse them for the parcel post
service, although the sworn testimony
of the Post Office Department before
the United States Senate Committee
shows that dnring the first six months
the parcel post amounted to at least
9.16 per cent of the post Office in
crease, or nearly double the allowance
made by the railroads. v
Under the extension of the parcel
post system inaugurated August 10
the size OF package permitted is in
creased from eleven pounds to twenty
pounds, and the mileage has been in
creased and the rates greatly reduced

Baptist Assembly at Arcadia.
tFrom the Dunklin Democrat.)
IRoNToN. Mo. August Is.

lRONTON, MO-, August 10.
Editor Democrat. There are visit
ing the B. Y. P. U. Assembly, at Ar
cadia Heights, from Senath, eleven
grown persons and six children. This
is the writer's third year to attend
this assembly. This is truly great
meeting, conducted by the very best
talent of the Baptist denomination.
It's first meeting was held in 1908;
there was 260 persons in attendance.
In 1910, 428 persons attended.
In 1911, 642 persons attended.
In 1912, $50 persons attended.
So far this year there has been more
than one thousand persons. The as
sembly has ample grounds for all pur-
poses, which is 400 feet above Arcadia
Valley, which it overlooks. There is
well $50 feet deep, which supplies
water for all; concrete swimming
pool; large tabernacle seated with
chairs, accommodates the vast crowds.
Tents, with or without plank floors,
cots, with or without sheets and
blankets, and chairs can be rented at
reasonable prices. One can live as
cheap as they can at home.
Many persons are buying or leasing
lots and building bungalows in which
to live during the time they may wish
to stay.
The Methodist Assembly grounds
are on nearby hill and they have
held their assembly short time be-
fore this meeting.
Persons wishing an outing during
the summer time, at small expense,
can make no mistake in visiting thu
valley in the Ozarks during one o.
both of these assemblies, and gail
health, and hear some of the best ser
vices and lectures extant.

ing, for arguments sake that he is
actually guilty as charged, his punish
ment would still, under the circum-
stances, be public calamity. Its re-
suits would be detrimental to public
interest aud public morality. None
of the arguments usually advanced in
behalf of punishment for wrong doing
apply to this case. Governor Sulzer
has not been impeached for doing
wrong, as charged, but for doing
right.
The circumstances under which the
proceedings were brought are such as
to cast suspicion and discredit on all
testimony unless it be shown that
Tammany had no hand in framing 1t
up. A vote ofguilty by any Tammany-
controlled Senator will not declare
the unbiased Judgment of the one who
casts it. 1t will be only an act of
obedience to the orders Of Tammany
boss. The Assemblymen who voted
for impeachment only obeyed orders
in similar manner. The testimony
which Mrs. Sulzer offered at the last
moment was disregarded. Nothing
she could say could show that Tam
many orders had been changed.
Consequently the Assembly could not
see that it had anything to do with the
case.
II actually guilty as charged, Cover
nor Sulzer, If convicted, will be some

he was engaged in work for the public
good to suffer punishment for an act
he was no longer liable to repeat
But his guilt is, in fact, improbable
Since there is "much that is bad II
the best Of u.s." one cannot say posi-
lively that he is innocent. But th'
character of his prosecutors, thei
evident motive, and the circumstance
which have led to the prosecution en-

The Dreamer.


To dream dreams to behold from afar
The sweet beauty of heaven;
To hear voices from yon distant star
This the dreamer is given.
To him Times ever broadening sea
No impediment places,
For his dreams are as wide and as free
AS unthinkable space is.
He lives all in the golden tomorrow,
For his thought in it's scheming
Reaches out to the future to borrow
From It's wealth for his dreaming.
OF the sordid to-day, with its burdens,
Recks he not in his dreaming,
And his scul hath the dearest Of guer-
dons
From the Spirit of Seeming.
The devoir of the plodder is toll,
With its incessant grinding;
(, And he delves in the clods of the soil
With its dross for his finding.
'Tis the now that he knows; all beyont
Has no place in his vision;
But he prides in the skill of his hand
4 And its practised precision.
With his dying the plodder ends all;
The designs that he wrought on
Not trace of his living recall,
And his name is forgotten
While the soul of the dreamer's en-
rolled
On the scroll itself fashioned,
More enduring than fame writ in gol
Or in marble impassioned.
o, there's naught that we honor an
love
In sweet song or old story
But twas held in some dreams treas

below outlining this condition of af-
fairs respectfully requests that they
be allowed more than five per cent
increase allotted them, especially as
the parcel post system deprives them
of the revenne they formerly received
from the same business when it was
carried as express or freight. The
telegram reads as follows:
To Hon. A. s. Burleson, Postmaster
Genernl, Washington, ID. O.:
The undersigned are to ask you to
consider, whether the United States
Government is really dealing fairly
with the railroads of the country, as
to the matter of pay in connection
with the introduction and extension
of parcel post service.
The testimony of the Post Office
Department, before the Senate Com
mittee, July 25th, showed that the
first three months business of the
department, after the installation of
the parcel post, had gross increase
in postal revenue of 14.54 per cent,
of which at least 9.16 per cent was at
tributed to the new parcel post busi-
ness.
NO PAY FOR PARCEL POST FIRST SIX
MONTHS:
On the basis of this statement, the
Government must have collected not
less than $11 ,266,SOO in revenue from
the parcelpost for the first six months,
beginning January 1st..
AS this was before any arrangement
had been made to reimburse the rail
roads for taking care of this new
feature of the postal service, not one
dollar of this big return was paid to
any of them for transporting the en-
tire business referred to.
PAY FOR ONLY HALF PARCEL POST
BUSINESS:
To remunerate the transportation
companies for the additional parcel
post business transported, Congress
provided, beginning July 1st, a five
per cent gross increase in their mail
pay, based upon rates, zones and
weight limit, in original act, although
the additional business transported,
amounted to at least 9.16 per cent, ac-
cording to the testimony of the Post
Office Department, nearly double that
provided in the allowance.
NO PAY FOR EXTENSION PARCEL POST,
AUGUST 18TH:
The extension of the parcel post, to
be inaugurated August 18th, when the
weight limit is to be raised from elev-
en- to twenty pounds, rates greatly re-
duced and mileage increased, is GER
tain to result in vast enlarge ment OF
business.
The Government will collect post
age on this business but no provision
has yet been made to pay the railroads
for transporting it. Not only will
they receive no compensation for this
increase business, but will suffer the
actual loss of earnings, previously
J derived from the same traffic, when
J carried as express or freight.
| No code of business requires SER
|, vice without pay, and it is especially
unreasonable the United States Coy
ernment to require the railroads, OF
any other interest, to serve it without
, any remuneration.
, Congress is in session, and can i'm
mediately remedy this condition, il
accordance with suggestions made by
: the Committee on Railway Mail Pay il
letter to you, July Both, which we en-
3 dorse and urge upon your considera
r tion.
