STATE CAPITOLS.
Buildings Upon Which the Tendens
Ia tn EYDend MflliOny.

Buildings Upon Which the Tendency
Is to Expend Millions.
The cornerstone of 100000 state
capitol for Arkansas was laid recently
at Little Rock. A few days ago con-
+ tract was given cut at Jackson, Miss,
for building there a new state capitol
at total cost of nearly $1,000, 600. The
present capitol and grounds at jack
son are of the estimated value Of $780,
600, and the Little. Rock capitol and
ground of the value of only $250,000.
Many Of the older settled states have
capitols which were built many years
ago and were designed to meet condi-
tons which nearly every state has
since outgrown. The capitol Of Alaba-
ma, at Montgomery, represents an in
yestment Of only $4,000, that Of Louis
lana, at Baton Rouge, $25O,000, the
grounds being included in this esti-
mate; that of Kentucky, at Frankfort,
the scene of the Goebel shooting. $780,
900, grounds included, and that OF
Maryland, at Annapolis, 100000.
There has been a general tendency to
replace the old buildings by new and
more costly structures, as is being
done in Arkansas and Mississippi.
Thus in Sacramento, the capital OF
California, the new building and
grounds represent total expenditure
of $4,000, 900. Austin, Tex, has S.
1000 capitol. Pennsylvania has at
Harrisburg a $2.5oo,00O capitol. The
little state Of Rhode Island has at
Providence $4,000, 900 capitol, and the
Iowa state capitol, at Des Moines,
represents a total investment of 3d.
100000. The Illinois capitol, at Spring
field, represents a total investment OF
$500 900, and the Nebraska capitol.
at Lincoln, represents cost Of $780,
900. The Wisconsin capitol, in the
small town of Madison, represents an
investment of 81, 900 900, and Michigan
has at Lansing a $4,000 capitol.
In the smaller cities of the country
there are to be found usually the most
expensive capitols, circumstance
which has given rise to the expression
'the smaller the capital town the more
expensive the capitol building" Colo
RADIO has q 81, 500, 900 capitol, and Wash
ington has completed one at Olympia

TIL, style of Mems shirtwaists.

Ha5erdasbers say that the -hirt-
waisS for men is already thing of the
past and that the fashion which was
suggested last fall really died a-born-
ing. Instead the neglige shirt in the
gayest colors. belts, and no waistcoat
will be the rule this summer. Dealers
in this sort OF thing have already given
their orders on these lines, and fashion
is therefore fixed for the majority of
men. 1t will be only the super-ele-
CANT who will fly in the face of this
decree and defy the decision of the
great manufacturers of these lines of
goods. These will wait until King Ed
ward has decided what he deems the
proper thing for mems wear, and fol-

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inaamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfecthear-
ing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces

Bradley Beach, N. j., April 80.
Founder James A. Bradley took a
hand in the Councilmaniac fight las
night, and appeared at the meeting
of the Council to espouse the cause of
Rev. H. J. Hayter, who asserts his
right to a seat in the Board by virtue

Mayor Rogers and the opposition
controlled by him refused to recognize
Rev. Mr.. IIayter's claims, saying that
he had never properly qualified.
Mr.. IIaytcr was in his seat again
last night and voted on all questions.
Two factions passed opposing resolu-
tions and there was hot time, with
Founder Bradley disgustcd listener.
All the township constables were
present, and every precaution was
taken to prevent an open conflict be-
tween the rival factions.

This sort Of talk was kept up for
some time until finally Mayor Rogers
hoping to get rid Of Hayter. agreed,
on motion of Councilman Behner, to
go into executive session. The
scheme failed. however, for Mr.. Hay.
ter still retained his seat and took
part in the secret session,
"What an outrage it is.' said
Founder Bradley, after the doors
were closed "What is the use of
