State Capital Notes
Governor PindaIFs Report.

Acting Governor Pindall has re- turned from his tour of inspection of the state convict farm, and has sub mitted written report to the board. Among other things he says that the cotton is practically all opened on the farm and approximately 200 convicts are engaged in picking. Believing that the levee work should be con- tinued he ordered about 50 negroes taken from the fields and put to work on the levee and that the levee work be not again allowed to entirely stop during good weather. The cotton crop he estimates at between 1,500 to 1,S00 acres with an average yield of between $50 and 1000 bales which will be classed as good middling. The corn crop he estimates at about 4,00O bushels. In conclusion the governor suggests that board meeting be held at the farm, or some member be au- thorized to visit the farm at convent ent intervals with full authority to act for the board concerning any un- foreseen details which might arise.

JUST WHAT He WANTED,
Surely Here Were Musical Tastes
 Enough to Suit Anybody.

A gentleman of the most cultivated musical tastes, wishing to change his residence, advertised for rooms in a private family fond of music.'' The next mail brought him the follow ing reply:
 Dear Sir: I think we could accom- modate you with rooms, and as for music one of my daughters plays the parlor organ and gittar; another one plays the accordeon and banjo; play the cornet and fiddle; by wife plays the harmoniea and my son the flute. We all sing and if you are good at tenner singing you would fit right in when we get to singing gospel hims evenings, for none of us sings tenner. Or if you plays the base vial we have ono right here in the house, If you want music as well as rooms and board we could accommodate you and there would be no extra charge for it. Lippincott's.

Board Selects A Site.

The Carnegie Library Board met the first of the week and selected as site for the proposed new library corner of Seventh and Louisiana streets, and the dreams of the public spirited and the literary inclined citi- zens of the capital city, in which loomed up handsome and commo- dious public library, are about to be realized. No definite plans have as yet been made but it is expected that Edward l.. Tipton of New York, the architect who has designed many of the Carnegie libraries throughout the country, will be here within few days, and commence work on the plans at once. The ligrary project was broached about year ago and in quiet way that gave no presage of the present splendid realization. H. F. Auten, Mayor Lemon and T. Nj. Mehaffy were at luncheon when the latter gentleman casually mentioned that he had been to St. Louis for sev- eral days gathering information from one of the libraries in that city. This gave rise to the natural query, "Why isn't there library in Little Rock?" Suffice it to say that before the gen. tlemen separated after their luncheon, they agreed to propose the question to a number of other business and professional men of the city. Some time later there was another lunch con, at which some 15 citizens sat. Before it was over they had sub- scribed over $6,000 toward library. A Library Committee was then appoint ed wth H. F. Auten as chairman, and within few days they had raised over s20,0O0 as a public subscription. Following the appointment of the board, negotiations were carried on with Andrew Carnegie which finally resulted in the securing of dona- tion of $SS.100 for the building alone.

Balance in State Treasury.

State Treasurer Yates Friday gave out a statement of the actual cash on hand in the treasury. The total amount of gold, silver and currency in the vaults at the close of business last night was $789, ,404.44. Various persons have been estimating the amount of money on hand and the es' inmates have ranged from $1,500,OO0 to as low as S500,000. Of the total amount of cash now on hand S263,- 259.04 belongs to the general revenue fund and it is from this fund that all of the running expenses of the state are paid. The remaining $526- 145.40 is divided among the various funds. MT. Yates and his assistant disbursed $67,753.S7 of the money ap- propriated for the use of the state university. Of this sum, $55,60O was paid out under the university def ciency act and the additional $10,00O was to meet the current expenses of the institution.

Hall For Conventions.

Secretary J. F. Letton of the Little Rock Boosters Club, is endeavoring to create enthusiasm in the prospects of big convention hall in the capital city. His idea is to raise the money by popular subscription. "This may sound like large amount to raise in this way" he said, "but this is the manner in which Kansas City raised the money for it's convention hall, and there is not finer one in the country. When this is considered the task does not seem to be of such stu pnedous magnitude. There are many national conventions which could be brought to Little Rock were there such convention hall, which it is now impossible to secure. A de- termined effort will be made to bring the Trans Mississippi Con- gress here, and there are many such meetings that would come here had the city suitable meeting place to offer. Not only conventions, but many other meetings, would use the convention hall, and in this way it would soon be made to pay more than the expense of keeping it.

FAMiiY'S SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Alice tions AffIict Different Members,
 But Cuticura Cures Them.

My wife had eczema for five or six gears. It was on her face and would come and go. We thought we would give the Cuticura Remedies trial. We did so and she has never had sign of eczema for four years. 1 myself used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment some time ago for falling hair. l now have a very heavy head of hair. We used Cuticura Remedies for our baby, who was nearly bald when young. She has very nice hair now. She is very fleshy, and we had so much trouble with heat that we would bathe her with Cuticura Soap and then apply Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the heat up so much quicker than any thing else. MT.

Withdrawals Are Limited.

Little Rock banks have adopted the course pursued in other cities to pre- vent possible runs, and from now un- til the furry is over, cash withdrawals by depositors will be limited to $50 per day, except to meet pay rolls. However, clearing house certificates for balance on deposit will be issued upon request. These certificates are new variety of emergency currency available for banks alone It is auth orized by an organization of banks, secured by bonds or other collateral, and is advocated by bankers as the best means of securing an elastic currency It differs from the bank note, in that it is restricted to the payment of daily balances at the clearing house. Shipments of cur. rency to country correspondents have been discontinued and institutions to which the recommendation applies have already decided to require mo- tice of withdrawal of deposits. A number of bankers from various parts of the state have been here within the past few days inquiring into condi- tions, but it is said that practically none has been after currency, and that all believe they will be able to hold their own.

Here are some good suggestions for your kitchen: Have your shades and curtains of white muslin that can be laundered. When using your gas stove in the summer, cover the top of youi coal range with newspapers, which will make a handy table. Have your rack near the stove, so that your tow els will get well dried after each dish washing A small shelf should be put up near the stove to hold your salt and pepper box. Cover the back wall of your sink with oil cloth, preferably white, and here may be hung your broom, shovel, dish mop and soap box. In box or drawer may be kept the necessary articles for ironing. The top may be covered with oil cloth, and will give an extra table. A chest of drawers is useful and almost neces- sary for keeping the kitchen towels and aprons, besides many other useful articles. It is we'll to keep in the kitchen bottle of linseed oil and lime water, together with roll of old linen pieces for bandages, for use in case of burns.

The spirit of distrust and persecu ton of corporations is the result of ignorance and frequently runs to vice. A corporation is simply man created person before the law, having only such rights and privileges as are pro- vided for his creature. The regula- tion of trusts is simply the regulation of partnership affairs without the in- dividual responsibility of the partners Many of the corporations need regula- tion, but none of them need persecu- ton.

Would Call Extra Session.

Governor X. o. Pindall recently stated that should majority of mem bers of the legislature favor calling an extra session to deposit the funds of the state in banks with view to relieving the present financial strin. gency he would be willing to issue such a call. He declares that he would be personally in favor of de posting the states funds in the banks, amply secured, at any time, and that the only reason for calling a special stringency. Governor Pindall stated he did not know just what amount of currency is in the treasury of the state, but that he understands it to be about $1,500,000.

THE MIRACLE OF A CHEER,

The following Is an abstract from an article written by the editor of the Stock and Station Journal, Sydney, Australia:
 A man was teaching class about cattle and he said: Now, can any boy tell me what COW is?" I don't know, was the reply he expected, but a small boy gave him the correct an- swer He said:
 Please, sir, a COW is an animal with four legs. one on each corner"
 That was a good answer and the hoy had my sympathy. If any one were to ask me, what is sheep? do you know what I would say? My an- swer would be: "A sheep is mi- racle." So it is. There isn't a more marvellous animal in the world than a sheep, and at all our pastoral and agri- cultural gatherings we ought to toast the sheep. But we don't simply be- of all our wealth. We count our wool returns in millions of pounds sterling and the mutton sales are enormous, and the whole country profits by the sheep, but who ever thinks of it? Hardly anybody except from the point of view of pounds, shillings and pence. Did I ever tell you about the great Florentine Giotto, who made his mark on the sands of time? don't think I ever did, for I know a heap of things that I haven't told you yet, although I've been telling you stories for a good many years.
 One day, when Giotto was standing in the streets of Florence, telling stories and laughing, pig ran be- tween his legs and upset him. He got up, very angry, but when he saw the pig rushing down the street he laughed and cried: "Ah, you villain, you! And yet, look at the lot of money have made with your bristles, and I never gave you even a glass of wine."
 Good old Giotto. Look at the money some men have made out of wool, but have never thought about the miracle or sheep. That's our trouble. We hardly ever think about anything If we did, we would find the Kingdom of God on earth. AS it is, we mostly find the other kingdom

Convicted Man Pardoned.

At the time of Peacock's con- viction the justice of the peace before whom the case was tried thought that such a law existed. Learning that such was not the case, he applied to the governor for a pardon for Pea. cock.

Don't get excited; don't be misled. The present furry will cut no ice with the prosperity of this country. The prices of things are not inflated; they are simply about right. There are few exceptions, and cotton is one of the exceptions. Cotton has had the whole gambling world combined in fight for low prices. The bear manip- ulators have not hesitated to use any and all possible means to ruin the prices. They have finally played their last card, and in the scramble have lost out and have bankrupted many of their friends. This is the begin ming of the bear stampede. They have sold cotton for future delivery at all sorts of low prices and the day for the delivery comes on apace. What are they going to do about it? The available cotton for delivery will be bound to become exhausted soon. Then that in the warehouses will be requisi- toned, and if the holders stand for the best price there is nothing under the sun to prevent their getting that price, so long as it is not prohibitory one. Fifteen cents is not prohibitory, and it is right there the price should stick, and there it will stick till the time comes to make 1t higher still.
