TRIBUTE FROM TRAVELLING MEN
(contributed.) }

After many of the friends of the bride and groom had been called upon for toasts at the banquet Wednesday evening in honor of Mir. and Mrs. Max Weisl and had congratulated the con- tracting couple, as we'll as the near relatives of the bride, Mir. Bottenstein annouLced that toast or expression from the travelling men would bemc- ceptable.
 None of the told timers" respond ing, Mir. c. A. Stetson of the United States Fireworks Company of St. Louis responded, and said: "After thanking Mir. and Mrs. Bernstein for the courtesy that has been shown the travelling men of Arkansas, desire to say in behalf of the travelling men of this state that while we extend congrat sions to Mir. and Mrs. Bern stein and :, cir able assistants for the manner in which the entire ceremo- nies have been conducted, and while we fully realize and appreciate the solemn and impressive ceremony per- formed by Rabbi Dr. Spitz, we as a body declare there is but one person present tonight who deserves our hearty congratulations, and that per son is Mr. Max Weisl of St. Louis, in whom this trusting daughter of MT. and Mrs. Bernstein has confided her all.
 "We know that she has grown up among the good citizens of Newport and that all who know her speak only the kindliest words for her, and ex- tend their best wishes for her happi- ness. In fact, none knew her but to love her, none named her but to praise.'
 "Of Mr. Max Weisl we travelling men know but little, yet we feel as- sured that he must be pure gold fol to no other would Miss Berstein have plighted her troth.
 "So, on behalf of the travelling men of this state, and all others who knew her, wish them joy and happiness in abundance, and that the sky of theil life may never be darkened by a cloud.n

THE WORDS WE KNOW.

There often appears in print an item which reads something like this, says the Indianapolis Journal: An ordinary man will say everything that any occasion calls for with vocabu- lary of 1000 words. Of these he com monly uses but 400 or 500, reserving the remainder for the emergency of an idea out of his usual line of thought.
 Tn accordance with this is state ment once made by a speaker at an educational meeting: "The best edu- cated person in this room will not use more than 500 or 700 words" And he added that an ignorant man will not use more than 300 or 400. Some years ago writer in the Chautauquan said: s'It is estimated that an English farm hand has vocabulary limited to 300 words. An American workman who reads the newspapers may command from 700 to 1000 words. Five thou sand is a large number even for an educated reader or speaker" This is a step forward, yet it still seems far cry to Shakespeare's vocabulary of 15,0O0 words, or even to Milton's g. 900.

PENITENTIARY SENTENCE FOR
 CLARK, WHO CONFESSED.

Clarksville, Aug. 13.-' Smiling Joe" Clark at Clarksville has confessed to complicity in the murder of Sheriff Powers in the second degree and has been sentenced to twenty one years ill the penitentiary.
 The case against Wallace was nolle pressed and the indictment will stand against him for perjury. He will probably go to Nebraska to serve out a sentence there he escaped, as seven years of sentence there has not been served.
 Sheriff King left on the afternoon train for Little Rock with both pris- oners. There is some dissatisfaction regarding the action of the court.

DATE DETERMINED
 FOR ENCAMPMENT.

Major General w. H. Haynes, com manding the Arkansas State Guard, is making an effort to secure the low est rates possible from the railroads on the occasion of the state guards annual encampment. In letter to H. 0. Townsend of the Gould lines, General Haynes states that the en- campment will be held in Hot Springs September7 to 13, although official orders have not yet been issued. This confirms the statements heretofore made that Hot Springs had been de- cided upon as the place for the en- campment.

BROUGHT TEARS TO
 EYES OF VETERANS.

Lonoke, Aug. 13.-The Confederate reunion held here today under the auspices of Camp James Mcintosh was grand success. Two thousand people were in attendance, and the occasion was undisturbed by disorder of any kind.
 Senator John P. Logan delivered an able address in advocacy of the inter- ests of the Arkansas exhibit at the worlds fair, after which Hon. Minor Wallace spoke. His address to the veterans was pronounced the ablest speech ever delivered in Lonoke. For an hour and fifteen minutes he held the vast audience spellbound with his oratory. MT. Wallace paid tribute to the courage, the daring and the heroism of the Confederate soldier. His eulogy of the character of Jack son, Johnson, Davis and other leaders of the "Lost Cause" was most elo- quent.
 At the conclusion of Mr. Wallace s address many of his auditors ad- vanced to greet him with tears in their eyes, attesting their appreciation of his speech.
 Ex-Governor Eagle, who is uni versally honored and loved here, made an able address. Capt. Wheat also spoke in behalf of the Daughters of the Confectionery, and his remarks were appreciated by the audience.

CONTRACT AWARDED
 FOR STATE CAPITOL
Caldwell & Drake Successful Bidders Their Figures Are s947, ,s46 Batesville Granite for the
 Superstructure.

I Little Rock, Aug. 14.-At the session of the state capitol commission yes terday, Chairman J. B. McCaleb pre- siding, the contract for the comple- tion of the new capitol was awarded ,so Caldwell x Drake on their bid of $947, ,S46. With Arkansas granite as the base, the superstructure will be of l Batesville or Arkansas marble. The contract calls for the completion of the building by December 23, 1905. f Caldwell & Drake had submitted two bids, one for $89s,65 for Bedford stone and one for $947, ,S46 for Bates vile stone. George w. Donaghey, who was the only Arkansas bidder, offered to do the work for $937 ,45O, using Bedford stone and Arkansas granite for the basement. The act of 1903 provides that as far as practica- ble the commissioners shall contract 1 for Arkansas materials in the con- struction of the buildings. The com mission spent some time in consider ing between the bid of Caldwell & Drake and that of MT. Donaghey.
 THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS.
 Caldwell & Drake, the successful bidders, reside at Columbus, Ind, and have been active as a contracting firm the past eleven years. They have performed number of big con- tracts, among them the erection of the West Virginia capitol at Charles ton. They are now putting up the agricultural and horticultural build ings on the Worlds Fair grounds at 1 St. Louis. Among other contracts they have are the building of state asylums at Gallipolis, O., and Hunt l ington, w. Va., and court houses at Knox, Hammond and Greencastle, Ind, Port Clinton, O., Parkersburg and New Martinsville, w. Va. They built the million dollar hotel at West Baden Springs, Ind, which is said to be the largest fre-proof hotel in the United States. The firm is working over one thousand men on it's various contracts at present.
 CHAIRMAN M'CALEB TALKS.
 Judge J. B. McCaleb, chairman of the capitol commission, informed a re7orter that the preparation of the contract was being prosecuted and sthat the instrument would be ready for the signatures today.
 i've believe," said Chairman Me- Caleb, ''that Arkansas or Batesville marble is superior to any building stone in the United States, after a thorough investigation and giving it the most thorough test known to architects and engineers.
 "We have inserted in the contract" ," continued Chairman McCaleb, Ia pro- viso that in case the Confederate monument committee sees fit to locate the monument on the grounds of the capitol building, it shall be preserved in every way and protected against any damage or injury during the con struction of the building"
 The Batesville marble, of which the new capitol will be constructed, is ob- tained in Independence county, seven miles from Batesville, where it is found in apparently unlimited quan- tity. It was pronounced by Dr. Bran ner, former state geologist, superb for building purposes. The Iron Mountain railroad has put in branch road to the quarries, and the work of getting out the marble and transport ing it will thus be greatly facilitated.

THE TIDE IS TURNING.

Helena World: There is no doubt that the tide is turning; the World has met many farmers the past few weeks who have heretofore supported Jeff Davis and who have now washed their hands of him. They believed in him for awhile, but they now see they were mistaken. There is healing and strength in the second thought of the honest man.
