OVER I5O CAMPING
 AT PINNACLE SPRINGS

Pinnacle Springs, August I6.- Special Many people will per haps be surprised to learn that over I5o people are now camped in tents at this once famous sum- mer resort. Of this number more than So are from Conway and about 25 or 30 from Morrilton. The bathing in the Cadron Creek is fine and the visitors declare they never enjoyed an outing more.
 Twenty-Five or thirty years ago Pinnacle Springs as summer re- sort was known almost all over the state and many visitors from other states spent the heated term here. There was large hotel ele gantly furnished, dozens of sum- mer cottages and several stores. From combination of causes, the chief of which was its inaccessi- bility to the railroad, the popularity of the resort gradually declined until it became no longer profit able to operate he hotel and the stores were moved away. The old hotel was used for several years as camping place, but was burned down about 10 years ago. The postoffice was abolished and finally there remained scarcely a vestige of the once thriving village. Of recent years, however, more and more people have been coming to Pinnacle on camping trips and the place seems more popular this sum mer than at any time in quarter century.

Gas Wells Cleaned Out.

Russellville. Aug. I6.-WelTs of Russellville Gas Go, which were almost choked with lost tools and by caving in, have been cleaned out and now show a pres sure equal to any gas wells of the state. The company will have the wells tested as soon as they are capped and pipe placed in them to prevent further caving and to permit the gas free and ready flow. At a recent meeting some stockhold,rs desired going into bankruptcy, but the boosters would not listen to this and raised the money necessary to clean out the wells.

RAPID PROGRESS MADE |
Removal of Defective Work from
 State Capitol.
Is Almost Com pleted-Full Force oi Stone Cutters are Put to
 Work

Little Rock, Aug. I6.-The state capitol building today looks very different from what it did a week ago There is no debris about the building, the convicts are get ting it out as rapidly as it is torn from the walls and floors. The north wing is not entirely demol- ished on the interior, but before the middle of the week it will be in the same condition of the south wing and the convicts will be ready to commence tearing out the first floor. The convicts are not forced to work for time now and are doing the demolition work with greater care. They have gone back over the south wing and knocked the concrete from the massive columrs which now look bare and slender as they reach to the roof, 75 feet above the floor.
 It has been decided not to re- move the frame tower which stands in the middle of the building and from which the work on the stone dome will be done, but to strength en instead. This is DOW being done. The timbers for the der rick which will lift all of the stone and steel to place have arrived. There are two of the timbers gotten out by the Farrell Lumber Co. One is 60 and the other s feet in length. Both are of native yellow pine and thtre is not a knot in either. Two cars were required to bring the timbers, as one was not long enough to accommodate tke timbers.
 A full force of stone cutters was put to work this morning, the number being increase to IS. A

COnvictS Make Money.

Little Rock, August I6. Even in the penitentiary the convict who is without resources is in a bad way. The trusties who work about the state capitol in positions of responsibility have secured num- Der of blank paper weights and in these they have fixed photographs of the building which they sell to visitors. As the building is just now attracting considerable at- tention, the crop of visitors is large and the convicts are thus enabled to provide themselves with many comforts they would not have if it was not for their ingenuity.

CONDfMFD BOY
 IN PFN|TFNT|ARY

Little Rock. Aug. I6.-Waltei Hogue, convicted of murder in the first degree at Perryville and sen. fenced to hang in September, was yesterday placed in the peniten. tiary for safe keeping. He is but 20 years of age and appears to be hardly that old. Hogue was con- victed last week in the Perry county circuit court of murdering Grover Misner at Aplin last winter. He will not be hanged in Sep tember, however, as his attorneys have taken an appeal to the su- preme court.
 Hogue and Misner last Novem- Der came from Scott county to fish and trap. Misner was finan- cling the expedition and the two camped in a cabin a short way from Aplin. They were seen about the place frequently and one morning Hogue was seen walking toward the railroad with bundle of clothing and gun. He went back to Scott county and gave conflicting stories as to the where abouts of Misner. The mother of Misner wrote to Sheriff Oliver of Perry county and he went to the cabin where the body of Misner was found. He had been shot three times in the back of the head evidently while asleep and had been dead evidently for six weeks. It was shown at the trial Misner had $50 about the time he was murdered, and this is supposed to have been the motive for the crime.

Morrilton, Aug. I5.-Congress- man C. C. Reid seems to be the only one not worrying about his becoming a candidate for gover- nor. It was given out last week he was going over the state to keep his finger upon the political pulse, with one ear to the ground. The reports said he would feel the people in the different locali. ties and if he found them recep- tive he would announce as can didate for governor. While all this agitation was going on Con. gressman Reid has been with his family, quietly fishing on Mau- melle river and enjoying a rest after his wrestling match with the tariff question.

colored man about S:15 o'clock last night
to snatch pocketbook from Mrs. A. Au-
