 George w. Caldwell of the firm of Caldwell & Drake, contractors for the new capitol stated yesterday that i' this was desired his firm would do all in it's power to aid in the move ment. He hopes to have the building under roof long before the end of the present year and expects to have several of the rooms of the new capl- tol completed, except for interior decoration. long before the time of the inauguration.
 "Yc,l can say for us. said Mir Caldwell. "that the senate chamber or the house of representatives one, will be finished sufficiently to per nit of caring for large crowd for this occasion The roof will be on the building and the walls will be plastered. It will be necessary to decorate the interior with flags and bunting and the like, but I presume this would be done anyhow. If we should be delayed by anything that cannot be sven at present We shall at least make an effort to have one of these large rooms ready for this occasion. I think it is good idea, and MT.

No More Crop Failures
 Science Trumphs Over Nature

Washington April 9-There will be flo more crop failure, This pre- diclion is confidently made by Sec Fetafy Wilson. who knows more about agriculture than any other mau in fublic life. The secretary is antici- rating only normal conditions. such as the weather experienced year af- ter year and does not say that some great calamity in the form of floods or wide area of freezing weather in July may not descend upon the earth out of some remote corner of the heavens.
 Early and late frosts, drought and prolonged rainy seasons. torrid heat and lack of sunshine. grasshoppers, rust and other pets and diseases are considered by the secretary os condi- tons which the farmers must guard against to insure crops.
 sThere have been material i'm. nrovements in agriculture during tho present decade" said Secretary VII son. Important improvements have been made in agricultural machinery which are of great advantage to the farmers. The department of agricu1. ture has, by experiments, demonstrat- ed what it is possible to do in pre-. pairing for climatic fluctuation in heat and moisture. and has made q study Of the soils of incalculable benefit. to the tilers.
 Adapts Crops to Soil.
 'slt is not only possible. but it ;s practical and is the general rule now adays for the farmer to study the soil he has to work, and intelligently select the crops best adapted. The days of old, when the farmers, year after year, would plant the same crops to gather a fairly remunerative harvest when conditions were exeep. tionally good and to experience fail ures under adverse conditions. have gone never to return. The farmers now make it their business to know what heir lands will do. and they utilize them to the best possible ad vantage
 In 1910 the production per acre will be twice as great as it was in ZOO This increase will be due on tireiy to the advance which the farm. CTS are making in the direction of selection and methods. The work of the department among the farmers in bringing abount this result Is of sui hcient importance 10 warrant all the appropriations that have been made during the last six years for it's main tenance.
 Work of Wide Scope.
 "l'ut the work of the department has not stopped With increased acre age production. Agents have been at work all over inc world searchino for crops best adapted to conditions existing in various sections of our "iGe expanse of territory. They

The contractors hope to begin pIt. ting on the roof within 30 or 40 dave 'hd "lthIh GO days expect to put force of plasterers to work on tho interior of the building. A large 'orce o1 men is now at work cutting and polishing the stone on hand and S"ii'clent stone is ready for use. so
 'here Will be no further delav from
 thls cause during the entire con.
 str'lction of the building. Much
 trouble has been experienced with
 the columns for the building. how ever, and work has been delayed for several weeks on this account. Dur.
 Ing the winter it was impossible to
 get the columns out of the ouarrias at batesVllle, and now that the sea- son has opened IS cars of this stone. Is tied Up near Newport and cannot be shipped to Little Rock until the bridge over White river at Newport is ready for use. Several of the con- crete floors at the new capitol have been put in place and the roof work will be begun. With the roof on the interior work can be done no matter how severe the weather should be the coming fall and winter. The con- tractors hope to get most of the ex. terior work done by fall, and expect, without unforeseen delays, to have a
 great deal of the interior completed
 in a rough way the end of the year.
 This will make it possible for Mfr.
 Little to be inaugurated in the new capitol, because he will not be forni- ally declared elected until the mid dle of January. The legislature will meet about January 15, and few
 days afterward will canvass the vote and declare the result. The next day Mir. Little will take the oath of office.

NO ADMISSION WITHOUT CARD.
Faithful Aunt Chloe Stern Guardian
of Portal.


of Portal.
A number of young society girls OF
Washington had assembled at the
home of friend to receive New
Years calls. Aunt Chloe. the house
hold servant, was pressed into service
as waitress.
The hostess had instructed her,
while she was tying on her big white
apron, that she should present the
trap for the gentlemen's cards. and
while they were taking off their over
coats to bring the cards to her.
AT the first ring of the bell all OF
the girls were in a flutter, some even
peering over the balustrade.
After a slight commotion the front
door shut and all was quiet.
They waited some time, then Miss
Mamie went to the back stairs and
called, Chloe, what's the natter"
malta nuf. Miss Mamie. Dey were
foah gentlemans trying to git in on
free (three) tickets, and | tole 'em.
No, sab. Youse don't cum dat trick
on dis house, so dey all tote of
home"
In the evening the gentlemen called
again. 1t seems that one of the four
had run out of cards, and no amount
of persuasion would induce the negro
servant to let them in.

ARMENIAN DIED HERo'S DEATH.
Made Splendid Defense of His Resi-
dence at Baku.

Made Splendid Defense of His Resi-
dence at 5aku.
Adamoff was an Armenian hero OF
Baku The author of a recent volume
on that city has this to say OF him.
"Adamoff was the crack rifle shot in
Balu, one Of the wealthiest Armeni-
ans engaged in the oil business, and
his residence in Arnianskia street was
one of the palaces of the city, so far
as the magnficence of the oriental
decoration was concerned. He stood
a three days siege and shot no fewer
than forty Tartars, who, on the last
day, formed a heap of dead at the cor
ner of the street Adamoff was kept
supplied with cartridges by his young
son, who got shot in that service.
And then Adamoff himself was hit on
the balcony OF his house, whence he
had so long defended it. Receiving a
shot in the shoulder, the deadly
marksman dropped his rife on to the
railing of a balcony, but, nerved with
the courage of despair and determined
to sell his life still more dearly, he
continued shooting. His movements
became slow, the Tartars become
more aggressive, and he finally re
ceived a fatal wound which laid him
low on the balcony"

Two PenniIess Princes.

While the two elder sons of Prince
Waldemar were out walking near Co
penhagen recently night came on be-
tore they could return home, and find
ing the roads very heavy they kept
a lookout for a conveyance. The
only vehicle that passed them was a
coal cart, and into this the two young
princes climbed.
On arriving at the outskirts of the
town the driver refused to take them
any further and demanded payment.
The princes explained that they had
no money with them and told the man
who they were, bidding him take them
to the palace. He refused to believe
their story, however, until police
man arrived and, recognizing the
princes, lent them some money so
that they could return to the palace
in a tramway car.
