COST OF STATE CAPITOLS.
0utldfnRs Upon Which the General Tendency Is to Spend Mill
 lions of Dollars.

The corner stone of a million-d dollar state capitol for Arkansas was laid re- gently at Little Rock. A few days ago a contract was given out at Jackson. Miss, for the building there of a new state capitol at a total cost of nearly a million. The present capitol and grounds at Jackson are of the esti- mated value of $40O,Oo0 and the Little Rock capitol land ground of the value of only S25O,oOO, says the New York Sun.
 Many of the older-settled states have capitols which were built many years ago and were designed to meet condi- lions which nearly every state has since outgrown. The capitol of Ala bama, at Montgomery, represents an investment of only $5O,G0O; that of Lou isiana, at Baton Rouge. $230.00o, the grounds being included A this esti- mate; that of Kentucky at Frank fort, the scene of the Goebel shooting $50O.OOO, grounds included. and that ot .Maryland, at Annapolis, $300.0 .000. There has been a general tendency to re place the old buildings by new and, more costly structures, a s is being done in Arkansas and Mississippi. Thus in Sacramento. the capital of California, the new building and grounds repre- sent total expenditure of $3OC0.0o0 Austin, Tex, has a s2.50o.o0O capitol. Pennsylvania has at Harrisburg a $2.. 500,000 capitol The little state ot Rhode Island has at Providence S3,- O00.0GG capitol. and the Iowa state cap itol at Des Moines represents a total investment of s, ,50a.OoO. The Illinois capitol at Springfield represents a total investment of S4.5oo. 900, and the Nebraska capitol at Lincoln represents . cost of $750,G0o. The Wisconsin capi- tol in the small town of Madison rep resents an investment of S1 .00O. .0Oo. and Michigan has at Lansing a $1,5O0, ,o0e capitol.
 In the smaller cities of the country there are to be found usually the most expensive capitols, a circumstance which has given rise to the expression the smaller he capital town. the nor expensive the capitol building" Col orado has $2,5o0.ocC capitol and Wash dnGton has completed one at Olympis sorting s1.Ooe. .oaH

PRISONER OF ZENDA.

Anthony Hopes well known roman- tic drama, ''The Prisoner of Zenda," will be played on Wednesday evening at Polls, and as the play has always been a popular one here. it should draw well. It is probably the last sea son the play will be out, as the Ship man brothers, who have secured from Daniel Frohman the right to present 1t in the eastern states and Canada will withdraw it at the end of the season to substitute an equally lavish production of it's sequel play, Rupert of Hentzau.' Persons who have not seen it should, therefore, avail them selves of this last chance to see one Of the strongest romantic dramas of recent years.

BIG LEGAL FIGHT ON

Indians and Millowners on One Side and
the Government on the Other.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 5.-Seven
well-to.do farmers on the Oneida reser-
walton have been arrested by the United
States marshal, charged with cutting
timber belonging to the government to
the value of $4,000. AT the same time
the government is preparing to bring
suit against number of prominent
millowners in the northern part of the
state to recover the value of the lum-
Der which will approximate $50, 900.
Three lum bering firms are involved.
1t is charged by the government that
the Indians cut more timber than they
were permitted to. The Indians. how
ever, claim that the right to cut tim
Der was an unlimited one.
The result is that there will be big
fight between the Indians and the mill
owners on one side and the govern
ment on the other. 1t will result in
definitely determining the rights of the
Indian as to the lands that have been
allotted them and as to the rights of the
Indian as citizen. The arrests are
made on an order from Washington.
