Benton, July 30. Saline county is minus it's one illicit still-or at least the manufacture of moon- shine whisky in that county is temporarily checked. For sev- eral years the revenue officers have known that moonshine whis- ky was being manufactured in quantities somewhere in Saline county. but were unable to locate the still. F. H. Lamberton, gen. ersl deputy, was yesterday sent out of Little Rock with H A Dick CTS to search for the still. Three miles west of Brazils they ran across a log hut, which had been boarded up. and their suspicious were so aroused an investigation was started.

 of the absence of material wit

 to remain in Little Rock for it would not bring a trial any soon- CT.

Senator Holland said he would go right to work upon his arrival at home and get into the campaign. He expressed the be- lief that he will defeat his Re-
 publican opponent between 1900 and 2,OOO votes. 'I used every effort in my power to bring the
 case to triaP', said the Senator,

I am sorry the case was not tried yesterday, as l wanted the evidence to be made public. v There has been considerable com ment since the failure of the prosecuting attorney to have hls witnesses on hand yesterday, and the opinion is that the poodle cases will never come to trlal.
