o. NJ. Welburn took the stand in his
own behalf yesterday, and under the fos-
tering guidance OF Gavin McNab and later
stepping cautiously to avoid the pitfalls
set for him by the Governments assistant
counsel, Bert Schlesinger. he told the pe-
culiar story of the shaved salaries.
Welburn made an admirable witness
If the cross-examination worried him at
all his demeanor did not betray it. He
answered all questions promptly and ap-
parently without guile. His defense is a
bold one and he advances ii with degree
of frankness that is refreshing.
John I. Irish, Congressman James G..
Mcguire and Charles L. Whitehurst ex-
State Senator from Santa Clara County
testified to Welburn's good reputation.
The defense offered to call Z. B. Pond,

Recover Properly.
The trial of the case OF the people
against w. c. Donaldson ct al. COM
menced in Judge Wallace's court yester-
day morning. The prosecution was rep
resented by Assistant District Attorney
Black, J. w. McCaughay and John E.
Richards. Ernest Peixotto appeared for
the defense.
George w. Robinson testified that he
had owned farm of twelve acres in Men
docino County. Being DESTROYS OF secur-
ing larger tract he advertised the place
for sale or exchange. The advertisement
was answered by the Donaldsons, who
owned a 200-acre tract in Monterey County,
valued at $500. After some negotiations
an exchange of the two properties, with
$500 cash from Robinson, was made.
After Robin son had been in possession
a short time he made the discovery that
the property was incum bered with $4,000
mortgage, of which he claims, to have
been in ignorance at the time the exchange
was made, and he has accordingly brought
suit to recover his rights.
The hearing of the case will be resumed
to- morrow morning.

DEEP WATER.
Capt sibert, the Government En- gineer and His Work Along
 the Arkansas River.

That ever popular and we'll known steamboatman, Capt. Ed NoWland, now of Memphis, but more Arkau- san than Memphian, was in the city vest terday, He has just made a trip by water from the BlufGity in com pany with Capt. Sibert, the gov ernment engineer in charge of the Arkansas river improvements. Capt Sibert has just completed a piece of work from Little Rock, extending up the river for distance of q little over twenty miles, which demon strate the practicability of restoring deep water to the Arkansas at least water of sufficient depth to give all the year communication by river with Fort Smith and beyond that, even to Wichita, Kan.
 In this connection The Gazette calls attention to the invitation of Capt. Harvey Lewis, of the steamer Irma, to the Board of trade, invit- ing the latter to take all exodrsion on the Irma for the inspection of the river Improvements, by Capt. Sibert. These improvements, con sisting of rip-rap and other work, have deepened the channel marvel ously. Iii is by extending this work that Capt Sibert believes the entire river can be made navigable.
 This is a work in which the entire people residing along and near the Arkansas river have deep interest. By improving the internal water ways ot Arkansas cheap transpor- tation can be secured. .- Gazette.

COULDN' S|CN,
GOV. JONES vEToEs THE WITT
 BILL.
It Directed the State Treasurer to Cancel Interest Coupons Aggregating $4O,0 O,0O0
 The Executives
 Reasons.

Gov. Jones vetoed the bill of Senator Witt. of Randolph county. Senate biil No. 69, The excellent reasons of the Governor are pre- sented in the following: State of Ark, Executive Office, Little Rock, Ark, July 2, '97. herewith return and file with the secretary Senate bill No. 69. antitled aan act to amend and sup. plemental to an act, entitled an act to improve the teaching in public schools, approved April 20, 1895, and an act entitled an act to estab- llsh county normal institutes, ap- proved March l6, 1897.
 Whereas, thee General Assembly of the State of Arkansas of 189a passed an act appropriating the sum of $2O, 900 for the years of 1895 and 1896 to improve teaching in the pablic schools of the State of Ar kansas; and
 Whereas, the General Assembly of the State of Arkansas of 1897 did appropriate the same amount for the years 1897 and 1898 for the same purpose; therefore
 Be t enacted by the General As sembly Of the State of Arkansas:
 '::Section l. That the treasurer of the State Of Arkansas, be and he is hereby instructed aud directed to apply said sums of money so expend- ed, amounting in the aggregate to the sum of forty thousand dollars ($40, ,000), heretofore appropriated for the aforesaid years of 1895, 1896, and 1897 and 1898, on the interest of undisputed bonds, due by the State of Arkansas to the School fund, and said State Treasurer is further directed to cancel interest coupons attached to said bonds to the said amount of forty thousand GAO, ,000l dollars.
 Sec. 2. That this act take effect and be in force from and after it's passage. "
 l There are two objections to said bill which, in my estimation. are in- surmountable.
 First It was net authorized by anything in the proclamation by the Governor eonvening the extraordi- nary session of the General Assem- bly,.
 Second. It is perversion of the interest upon the common school fund of the State, which, under the law, is tbe common property of the State. Section 7 of the act of De cember :, 1895 EbeiDg section 6936 of the digest Of the statutes 1894I, expressly pro tides that the annual income from the common school fund of the State shall be faithfully appropriated to maintaining sys- 1 tenn of free schools for this State, and shall be appropriated for no other purpose whatsoever. 1t was not within the power of the General Assembly at it's extraordi- nary session to change, aEaend, modify or repeas that act.
 Moreover, said bill is an attempt on the part of the General Assembly to materially qualify the terms and conditions upon which the appropri- ations for suea normal school pur- poses had been made, and this after the law making such appropriations had been executed without this qualification
 For these and other good and ] sufficicnt reasons, which are appar- ent upon the face of the bill, can- not consent to affix my signature to if, and, therefore, aetlng under the l power vested in me by the constitu ton, I aisapprove said bill No. 69
