Vandals Damage Capitol Fixtures.

1t has Just been discovered that five
or six pieces Of statuary for the new
state capitol, stored in and about the
capitol building, have been either
broken or badly damaged by vandals.
The contractors in charge of the con-
struction of the building are attempt
ing to learn the identity Of the van
dals, but as yet they have succeeded
in finding out practically nothing. The
pieces destroyed were castings, and
not as valuable as marble, but never
theless were costly. They were to
have been placed inside the inches in
the corridors and halls of the capitol.
Several patterns for larger pieces of
statuary, some of which were to have
been placed on top of the new capitol
have also been damaged. The pat
terms are castings made of the same
material as the small pieces of statu-
airy. The marble statutes will be
carved from the patterns. 1t is pre-
sumed that the work of vandalism was
committed during the early hours Of
morning, as the building is not watch
ed at that time. The capitol commits
sion employs a Waterman who watches
the building from noon until midnight.
To have entered the building, in which
the statuary was kept, through the
forn/r state penitentiary hospital
building which is now used as a store
house by the contractors, would have
been an easy matter. Stricter pre-
cautionary measures will be taken in
the future to guard the building.

Economy Must BE Practiced.

AS a result of the shortage OF the
states general revenue fund, the vari-
Gus state departments and institutions
that use the fund are being warned to
be as economical as possible. All
unnecessary expenses are to be cut
out, and the actual running expenses
of the various departments and insti-
tutions which depend on the fund for
maintenance will cut down to a mini
mum, in order to stave off a possible
deficit in the fund, which now amounts
to about SIS 900, and which must last,
with but little assistance, until early
summer, when the state tax money be-
gins coming in.

Arkansas Guard to Go to Kansas.

Adj Gen. Paul Little of the Arkan-
sas National Guard has received a let
ter from the War Department head
quarters at Washington, d. c.. to the
effect that the expense of moving a
regiment of the Arkansas guard to
Leon Springs, Tex, to engage in man
euvers under the direction of the War
Department, would be too costly at
the estimate made by Maj. Jett, and
that instead, the department would
send a regiment of Arkansas state
guard to Fort Riley, Kan. to partici-
pate in maneuvers there under the d.
rection of the War Department. The
date for the encampment at Fort
Riley, between September 20 and 80,
is satisfactory to Adj. Gen. Little, and
there is now no doubt that a regiment
of Arkansas guard will be in the Fort
Riley encampment. What regiment
will attend has not been decided. The
estimate of the cost Of moving regi-
ment to Fort Riley, maintaining it
there and moving it back to Arkansas,
will be prepared at once by Maj. Jet.
