SUPREME COURT
 REFUSES INJUNCTION.
Chief Justice Bum Declines to Re- strain Legislative Capitol Com mission From Awarding
 Contract.

Little Rock, Aug. 6.-Chief Justice Bum yesterday declined to grant an injunction restraining the legislative state capitol commission from award ing contracts of any kind and exer- cising any other functions delegated ranto proceedings appealed from the Pulaski circuit court, involving the gubernatorial capitol commission, will come up regularly at the fall term of the supreme court. At present there is no legal bar to proceedings on the part of the commission elected by the legislature.
 As attorney for the capitol commits sion appointed by the governor, who contended that the legislature had no power to elect commissioners, Charles Jacobson presented to Chief Justice Bum petition for restraining order against the legislative commissioners. In the Pulaski circuit court Attorney General Murphy had instituted suit by quo warranto against the governors appointees, alleging that they were Illegally exercising the franchise of the state capitol commissioners. Judge Winfield decided against the appointees of the governor, and MT. Jacobson appealed to the supreme court. In filing petition for re- straining order it was asked by the appointees that the injunction, if granted, be in force and effect until the cause could be heard before the supreme court.
 l Chief Justice Bum heard argument from Mr. Jacobson on the petition yesterday morning. Chas. T. Cole man appeared for the legislative com mission and advanced the suggestion that the injunction could not properly be ordered, inasmuch as the legisla- tive commission is not party to the quo warranto proceedings appealed to the supreme court Chief Justice Bum thereupon declined to grant the 1 injunction on the ground set forth by MT. Coleman.
 There is some talk that suit will be brought under the usurpation act against the legislative commission, but there has been no steps taken in that direction so far.
 August F is the day for the award ing of the contract by the legislative commission for the completion of the new capitol.

BOSTON MOUNTAIN RAILWAY,
The Melville Echo says:


 'Last Monday, without noise, four ish of trumpet or beat of drums, was inaugurated an enterprise which when carried out will be of the greatest ad- vantage to the mining interests of the southern part of Marion county and the northern part of Searcy county. Major Brooks, chief engineer, and Walter Harris, engineer in charge of the Boston Mountain railway, arrived at Buffalo City with full party and started to locate line of railway from there to a point of connection witt the St. Louis & North Arkansas rail- way.
 ssThis line when built will be from a connection with the Missouri Pacific at Buffalo City, as they propose to build bridge there to connect with the Missouri Pacific to a connection with the North Arkansas road which will practically be a belt line. This line by reason of running up Buffalo river will drain every mine in this section and will afford transportation facilities to all the mines on each side of the Buffalo river.
 sThis week alone, with the poor transportation facilities, over a train load of ore has been hauled from mines on Rush to Buffalo City, dis tance of eight miles, and there ferried across White river to the Iron Noun tain railroad. Given proper trans- portation, the zinc output of this sec tion will astonish the world"

COFFIN WILL DIVIDE
 TIME WITH DAVIS.

Hon. s. D. Campbell late Wednes- day afternoon received telegram from Little Rock stating that Hon. Charles Coffin of Walnut Ridge would represent Wood and Yandeventer at the speaking Thursday afternoon at Swifton and that evening at Newport.
 It will be remembered that Coffin made himself heard and felt too in the last campaign by taking the stump against Davis. He is an able de- batter and eloquent orator, but it is generally regretted that the other candidates cannot be represented in person.

NEW ROAD INTO MARSHALL.

The Marshall Republican says: sMarshall is now a railroad town. Let those who may doubt it come to town and take look at the cars The con struction train reached the city limits yesterday afternoon. The track was laid to the middle of the Ben Bratton cut and will be laid to the depot today. A great crowd from town watched the first approach of the locomotive into Marshall. Meanwhile the work on the depot progresses rapidly. Several hands are at work and will complete the depot by the last of next week. It is thought that Marshall will have regular train service by the 10th or 18th of August"

NO EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY
 FOR OPPONENT VANDEVENTER.

Piggott, Aug. Ex-Governor Davis and Hon. A. F. Vandeventer, candi- dates for governor, met in joint ses- sion here today. Over five hundred people met them at the picnic grounds, and great enthusiasm prevailed. This county (Clay) was closely contested between Davis and Vandeventer in 1900. Vandeventer boiled large vote here then, and his friends are making a vigorous effort to carry the county this time.
 Governor Davis opened the discus sion today. He devoted half his speech to the trusts, and laid the fail- ure of trust legislation at the door of the legislature. He defended all his public acts.
 MT. Vandeventer took the platform, and for one hour and fifteen minutes scored Davis unmercifully. He at- tackled him on the ground that he abused the pardoning power and mis- treated his political opponents. He was freely cheered and was listened to closely.
 In the rejoinder Governor Davis made several important points while defending his pardoning record. Mir Vandeventer remarked that the gov ernor would pardon anybody. Gov ernor Davis turned on him fiercely and said: ''I wouldn't pardon you if you were in he'll"
 aonors were about even in the battle of words.

MORE "DRYv TOWNS.
Results of Recent Elections Indicate
Passing of LOCALIZED Joints.

The State Temperance Union has
been collecting data as to the result of
the recent municipal elections in kan
sas as it related to the enforcement Of
the pr0hibitory law, and the current IS
sue Of the Kansas Issue. the organ OF
the union, contains the following:
One hundred and sixty towns of 500
people and over have reported TO the
union the results of the recent spring
election. Classifying the towns in vari-
Gus ways we find. first. that of the $50
towns reporting % of the formerly
wet towns went dry" while only
OF the formerly dry towns went
wet" Again, 81 of the formerly dry"
towns went dry" and IS of the form
erIy wet" towns went wet. In u of
the 160 towns the reports indicate an
uncertainty as to the attitude of the IN
coming administration toward the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law. The
probable condition during the coming
year was reported better IN 50 towns
and worse in only ID towns
The reports were tabulated conserva-
lively. For instance. where the incom-
ing administration was reported as not
particularly Interested Indifferent"
neutral. favorable to temperance,
but not active" tIukewarn." apathe-
tic" slack. etc. we have counted
such towns in the wet list unless 9TH
er statements in the reports make it
clear that they were dry
In A number of instances where the
administration last year was dry and
the new administration IS also dry"
the new condition was reported as even
better than the old. In some cases
the new administration was not re-
ported as dry but as more favorable
to law enforcement than the old. We
find 81 of the 100 towns are in de-
cidedly hopeful condition. because eth
er the law Will be enforced or the situ-
alton is more hopeful than It was last
year.
Reports from towns Of less popula-
ton than 500 would doubtless make the
showing better. The reports that we
have however. are most encourag ing
and show that the comments are
well founded which are being made all
over the land on the endorsement given
by Kansas to prohibition at her recent
suring elections.

OR EIGHT HOUR Law.
Attorney General Coleman in Wash
ington to Argue It.

Attorney General Coleman has gone
to Washington to argue the Kansas
eight-hour law case in the United States
supreme court It comes up there on
Thursday.
This is the case which started in Kan
saS City. kas-. and which the state has
won SUCCESSFULLY through every court.
until now 1t IS in the highest tribunal
in the nation. W w Atkin was Kan
sas City contractor who refused to obey
the eight-houT law in his public con-
tracts The law provides that coutrac-
tors on public buildings or public works
OF any character cannot compel their
men TO work more than eight hours for
a day. Atkins was prosecuted for not
Obeying the law. He lost in the " yam
dOtte county district court and appealed
court upheld the law Then Atkins car
RED it to the United States supreme
court.
n H. LOOMS is employed as counsel
for the state in the case to assist Mr..
Coleman In the brief of the state Mr..
Coleman says:
The eight-hour legislation Of the ma
ton and most of the states is but one
phase of the evolution grinding on grad
ually from &c to age like the mills of
the gods. for the elevation Of the cOndi
tons and environments Of the people at
large. The gigantic strides of advance
engines have made it possible that the
worlds men can do the worlds work in
less time than formerly. one OF the
broad purposes of this legislation is that
the Iaborer may enjoy his share of the
general good resultant from advance
merit. and may have his just and fair
opportunity to adjust himself and his
family to the naturally suggested sub
division Of the twenty-fOur hours of the
day into three parts-eight hours for
work eight hours for sleep, and eight
for the Improvement OF the mind and
the enjoyment of social advantages
Within the limits of constitutional cir
emancipation il should be and has ever
been. the purpose of legislatures and
congresses. and the policy Of the courts,
to extend as widely as may be the
bendictionS flowing naturally TO the
people from these achievements of
genius: 50 that the man with the hoe
may no longer be the hopeless. heart
rending thing the artist has painted and
the poet be1noaned One Of the steps in
this progression toward a higher and
better plane of living for all people in
Kansas was the enactment of the So
called seight-hour law Of 1881 For
the features Of our state legislation.
Every city. every county, every mu-
nicipality. which has let a contract. and
every. contra tor who has made a bid
therefor, for public work in Kansas. for
thirteen years. has done 50 with the
full knowledge of the law. Every labor
ing man IN the state for SO long has
known of the advantage to him Of en-
pIoynent upon pubic enterprises car
ried on under the direct or Indirect au-
thOrity Of the state Whenever assailed
the law has received the sanction of the
highest courts Of the state"
