FROM THE
CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Nov. Ie.-All Ar
kansas, where urth-class post
offices are concerned, is in an up
roar from the number of changes
and contests for such Offices that
have been recorded with the State
Republican committee within the
past mouth. These Offices, as a
rule, are filled through recommen-
ton by the county organization,
but in many instances the appli-
cants have appealed to the state
committee, and at the next meet
ing of the committee there will be
much Strengthening out to be done.
There is always a number OF
changes being made in Offices Of
this class, but the number at the
present time is far above the nor
NAL.

By night the evidence for the de-
tense in the Wright will case is
expected to be all in, and the plain
tiff will have sometime tomorrow
morning to begin upon the rebuff
tai testimony. The defense has
made very strong case, and the
testimony today has been mostly
that of experts, testifying that
Weldon E. Wright had lucid in
intervals during which he was as
sane as any person. The case
will probably reach the jury Sat-
urday, thus taking up two full
weeks of the circuit courts time
with the hearing. The case is now
on a par with the famous Taylor
will case, which was recently sent
back to the circuit court by the Su-
preme court, and which will have
another trial this term of the court.
The suit is brought by Mrs. Lucy
M. Wright and Mrs Braeme, moth
er and sister of Weldon E. Wright,
and left his property to Judge R.
J. Lea, of the circuit court, a cous-
in. The plaintiff claims Weldon
Wright was insane, as was his
father before him.

Operators who have mines along

Operators who have mines along
the Rock Island-Frisco system, can
reach only points on this system,
and the same is true of the opera
tors with mines along the Iron
Mountain. The mines on the
Midland Valley, which makes con-
nections with the Iron Mountain
and Frisco with only short haul,
are the only ones that can ship ov-
er more than one trunk line. This
has caused a considerable falling
off of the coal business, at the time
of the year when the operators
should have their busiest season.
The operators are now appealing
for Joint rates. This action of the
railroads has at least prevented the
anticipated car shortage, for coal
shipped out does not leave the
lines of the railroad upon which it
originates, and consequently after
short haul can be fastened back
to the mines to be refilled.

With less than a week before
the big football game between the
Arkansas and Louisiana Univer-
sites, which takes place on
Thanksgiving Day, next Thurs
day, much interest is being mani
tested here, and the attendance
will probably run as high as $1,000
people, for all sections of the state
will send representatives. A spe-
cial train will come from Fayette-
vile, bringing the student body
from the university city, but other
specials will probably be run in
on other roads in order that those
wishing to attend may come and
return to their homes Immediately
after the game.

To work on a county convict
farm 70 days more than the time
allowed by law for the fine i'm
posed, is worth SI54.75, according
to the judgment rendered in the
United States circuit court yester-
day afternoon by jury after hear
ing the evidence in the suit of
David Gibson against J. B. Am
burn. Gibson was convicted in
Pine Bluff and sent to the county
farm for a misdemeanor. He was
sent to the county contractor, ]. B.
Amburn, who has farm in Chi
cot county. Gibson was worked
70 days longer than the law per-
mits at the rate of IS cents per day
until his time expired. Gibson
brought suit for $1,000. Auburn,
in defending the suit, claimed Glib
son had been sick that number of
days and he had worked him ad-
ditional time to make up, his re-
port to the county court showing
the time Gibson had lost. This
was not allowed as Auburn had
not not shown the cause for the
loss of time at the the report was
made. Auburn considers it vic

"What our concern lost last fall
through dull times" stated James
Arensor, of the Gus Blass Dry
Goods Co., one of the best known
travelling statesmen in Arkansas,
yesterday afternoon, sit will
make up this year if we can get
the goods. Business was never
better with US and collections are
as good as the business, which
makes it indeed gratifying after a
year of such financial stringency.
1t is all a question now of getting
the goods. If we can get the mer-
chandise to supply the trade, our
business for the fall will be phe-
nominal, and with wholesale
houses doing business in this way,
it shows that times are good over
the territory which we supply"
Near the close of the year the
capitol commission, which has
virtually been out of existance
since the opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Kirby out off the appropria-
ton for work on the state capital,
will come from its Information and
take on new lite. Lehman Kay,
secretary of the board, who has
been in Little Rock from his home
in Salem for the past few days at
tending the sessions of the grand
lodge, says the commission will
have a meeting about the first of
the year and begin preparing its
report to the Legislature upon the
work which has been done after
the adjournment of the 1907 Cen
eral Assembly, and up to the time
the work was stopped. The COM
mission will probably in its report
favor the retention of the present
contractors for the completion of
the building.

Though very large gang of
mechanics is being worked on the
New Capital hotel, it will hardly
be ready for occupacy before the
time for the session of the next
General Assembly. The old porti-
co in front has been removed, and
all the exterior work gotten ready
for its retouching. On the interi-
or, the plasterers and other me-
chanics engaged there, have
worked the walls about so that the
decorators can soon begin their
work, and it will then be only a
matter of few weeks before the
furnishing can begin. The steam
heating apparatus has already ar
rived, and is ready to be installed.

Unless something unforeseen hap
pens, the Wright will contest will
go to the jury tonight, though Judge
Sellers may wait until Monday
morning to deliver his charge to
the jury. 1t is hardly probable
Judge Sellers will do this, however,
as he resides in Morrilton, and was
elected special judge to preside in
this case only, some is very anx-
ious to get away after his two weeks
of ceaseless toll on the case. The
defense closed yesterday before
noon and the attorneys for the con-
testants of the will, Mrs. Lucy M.
Wright and Mrs. Breame, mother
and sister of Weldon E. Wright,
began the introduction of rebuttal
testimony. The attorneys this
morning began the arguing of in
instructions, and unless Judge
Sellers dismisses court at noon
until Monday morning, the argu-
ments will be made this afternoon.
1t is not expected that the jury
will return a verdict tonight, even
should the case be given the jury
in the evening.

The closest Mechem came to Crav-

1927 votes. In Sebastian county,
where both candidates reside,
Cravens secured $3.50 to 2I74 for
Mechem. Mechem made his
