HOVBB.
Mel promptly with nearly all of
the members present.
The entire day was consumed in the
consideration of two measures.
First a concurrent resolution (Kim-
ball) providing for the appointment
of a Joint committee to effect a settle-
ment with ox-Treasurer Woodruffs
bondsmen tabled.
The House then resolved itself into
tlie committee of the whole for the
purpose of considering House bill No.
150 an act to provide for the manage-
ment of the Penitentiary and convicts
of tiie State of Arkansas Mr. Judkins
in the chair. The bill was taken up
amended and adopted by sections.
After the adoption of numerous
amendments among which was one
from Mr. Kirby of Miller requiring
the financial agent to pay into the
State Treasury once every month all
money on account of the Peniten-
tiary the 48th section was reached
ami adopted when the House adjourn-
ed until to-day.
Joe Mulhatton Distanced.
That noted Texan Col. W. B. Slos-
son may not bo out on his shape as
the champion “long distance” prevari-
cator of the wild mid wooly west nor
Is It definitely settled that ho has en-
tered any contest with his dlstinguisli-
cd fellow countryman Col. 'i'hos. B.
Ochiltree with a view to wresting
from that world renowned destroyer
of truth the palm of his numerous
colossal achievements in tills particu-
lar line but certain it is that the afore-
said Colonel has literally leaped into
fame by one single effort in this par-
tlculnr direction marking himself as
a dangerous rival in point both of
size and brilliancy for those bright
particular stars whose effulgent beams
light the dazzling realms of fiction.
As an evidence of all we have said
concerning this distinguished mental
acrobat we reproduce herewith his
initial performance which was made
seemingly without an effort while ex-
patiating upon the glorious possibili-
ties of Texas as shown by his adver-
tising cars using Arkansas byway of
contrast. His words speak for them-
selves as follows:
“Last November I met on one train
on the Fort Worth and Denver rail-
way eighty-seven persons from seven
States who had seen the Texas exhibit
cars at their homes and were praising
her push and enterprise in accom-
plishing that great work which
brought them to Texas One car of
those people who liad come to make
homes in Texas were from the South-
ern States and had come through Ar-
I kansas that so-called •behind the age’
State ami I heard these remarks:
One man said: ‘When I was coming
through Arkansas I was sorry I start-
ed. I would rather have a deed to a
part of the skies than to hind in that
State.’ Another responded: Yes it
would take three frogs to live a year
in such a country ns Unit.’ An old
gentlemen whom wo met in Tupelo
Miss. had his wife by lilh side and
saiil to me: ‘Talk about Arkansas;
why my wife was sick all across the
State but the soil was so poor she
couldn't even raise a grunt in the
State.’ ”
Further comment is we think un-
necessary. Colonel you are welcome
to the entire bakery bread wagon and
nil. _
A Nancy Hanks Performance.
Mr. J. W. Parks of Dallas stock
and claim agent for the Texas mid
Pacific railway was given a kind of
“pneumatic tire” recently by the re-
ceipt of a record-breaking letter from
a Texarkana attorney who is n well
known member of the West side bar.
Ti e said letter an authentic copy of
which is in our possession Is wholly
self-explanatory;posseHßeHmore unique
features than any other document yet
covered by the recent issue of postal
cheat protectors and reads verbatim
as follows:
Mr. stock claim agent of the Texas
A Pacific Hallway Company:
Sir—On the 4th day of tills month
about one-half mile west of Argo
switch n train of the Texas A Pacific
railway company killed my Gordon
setter Nancy Hanks. Os this I have
no doubt you are aware or should be
as the engineer and fireman saw It.
Having waited patiently for eighteen
days and receiving no intimation
from you that you intend to pay me
for my dog 1 now write and very re-
spectfully invite and humbly request
you within ten days from the date
hereof to settle the damages you have
caused me by reason of the premises.
hi dealing with railway companies
in relation to slock dogs etc killed
for the greater convenience of all par-
lies and in order to facilitate busi-
ness I have esliiblislied certain rules
as follows:
Rule No. 1. I never go to Arkan-
saw to get claim affidavits and make
them for railway companies. If there
is any trotting around to do I let the
chi ii' agents do it. They are paid for
It; I am not.
Rule No. 2. 1 never write but 750
letters to any claim agent about any
one claim. The number of this letter
la 7W
Rule No. 3. In corresponding with
me in relation to tills claim hereafter
please refer to it by my number which
is “Ilog claim No. 17622.”
Rule No. 4. 1 always wait ten days
for my money after writing a claim
agent for It.
Rulo No. 5. Not receiving my
money on the eleventh day 1 sue.
Rule No. 6. Aller suing I always
got my money sooner or Inter—prin-
cipally later.
By strict attention to these rules
which I have laid down for the gov-
ernment of my private business with
claim agents you will avoid confusion
and facilitate business. If there is
anything you don’t understand write
to my private secretary and ho will
explain. The reasonable worth of
said dog in life was #IOO. Please re-
mit me tliat amount iu currency or
gold and wo will call It square.
Very truly yours
Still Coming.
A corps of engineers came in from
Kansas City night before last and
went to Sulphur Springs to begin
work on the survey of the extention
to Ft. Smith and Texarkana. Work
of construction has already been com-
menced on the Texarkana end of the
line building northward. — Joplin
(Mo.) News Feb. 11.
Thus the evidences continue to
multiply iu favor of the extension and
final completion of this road the
building of which is so important to
both the present and future welfare
of our city. Let the good work pro-
ceed.

A CALM AFTER THE STORM.
Now tliat the first flush of passion
and prejudice has subsided iu the
North over the execution at the stake
of Henry Smith the worse than mur-
derer of little Myrtle Vance we are
forcibly impressed with the evident
change in sentiment which has taken
place iu the deeply predjudiced minds
of even the most partisan writers on
this subject. In no instance is this
change more marked than in the
evident desire to modify and in some
cases withdraw former open and de-
fiant declarations of sympathy for the
perpetrator of an almost inconceivable
crime attended by circumstances so
attrocious and horrible as to cause
the most hardened mind to revolt at
the bare mention thereof. Now let
these same persons permit their wan-
dering minds and wavering sympath-
ies to dwell for one briefinstant upon
the terribly realistic picture presented
by that once bright and happy Paris
home gladdened by the sunshine of
sweet infantile presence and now
shrouded in the deep gloom of unend-
ing desolation enter the darkened
portals of those parental hearts and
stand awe stricken as their all righted
gaze rests upon those charnel houses
of murdered affection give full scope
to fancy as she swiftly marks the slow
Hight of years and follows these poor
heart broken and grief laden spirits
along their hopeless Journey through
a blighted life then with the iron
links of partisan predjudlec broken
and the real cherub pity so long a
captive turned loose in your breast
come to us and together wo will from
the depths of our heartsdeplore both
Hie commission of the horrible crime
and the necessity for its terrible re-
tribution and turning with one ac-
cord to the gracious and merciful
God implore of him tliat the like
may never occur again.
THE NEWS MADE PUBLIC.
After days of anxious waiting at-
tended by perplexing doubts heated
disputes mid trying uncertainties lhe
public inind of this natioa lias been
set at rest by undoubted official an-
nouncement on the all absorbing ques-
tion of universal public interest as to
who have and who have not been
selected to date to fill positions in the
cabinet of President-elect Grover
Cleveland. The names of four of
these most important personages were
officially announced by order of Mr.
Cleveland himself on yesterday and
were heralded abroad throughout the
land to an eager and curious public
through the medium of the Associat-
ed Press. They arc:
Walter Q. Gresham secretary of
state.
John G. Carlisle secretary of the
treasury.
Daniel S. Lamont secretary of war.
Wilson 8. Bissell postmaster gen-
eral.
<)n making the announcement Mr.
Cleveland said:
“There is no need of any mystery
In regard to the cabinet and it is use-
less to speculate and indulge in guess
work. I shall make no secret of the
matter but shall announce the names
of the gentlemen selected to fill the
positions ns fast as I receive their
acceptances and permission to make
the matter public.”
No expression could be obtained
from the President-elect concerning
bis probable selections for the remain-
ing cabinet officers ho maintaining
his characteristic reserve on matters
not fully settled or definitely deter-
mined upon.
