J. I. ALLEY RETURNS.
lie Tells Why He Did Not Vote For
 the State Capitol Bill.

The legislature having closed, its la- bors, Hon. J. I. Alley returned We'd nesday and is now at home. Speaking of the State capitol building to Star representative, Mir. Alley stated that although the attorney general had given it as his opinion that the meas ure had not legally been adopted, Gov ornor Jones was going ahead with the project. Mir. Alley further said that he did not vote for the measure be- cause of some objectionable features connected with it, although favoring a new capitol.
 One of these features as named was that the new bill provides for the new capitol to be built on the present site of the penitentiary, requiring it's re- moval; and another was that it also provides for commission of seven, who are to receive & day for their services during the time the building is being constructed, which as Mir. Alley stated, provides a fat job for a number of men for long time. at grest expense to the people.

At a Ripe Old Age.

Mrs. Samantha Dugan, aged s5 years, died in this city at ? o'clock p. m. Thursday last at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. E. Wood.
 Mrs. Dugan's long life had been full of usefulness and she was one who had grown old beautifully, with halo ot hope and sweet serenity surrounding her in her old age. How could we wonder that the angels come to take her home?
 Six of her children are left to mourn the loss of devoted, loving mother. To them we offer sympathy and con dolence.
 Her pastor, Rev. j. T. Curtis, con ducted short. but impressive funeral service at the residence on Friday afternoon.
 The remains were taken to Great Bend, Kansas, for interment. Her husband. who died in 1890, is buried there. Eureka Springs Flashllght.
