DEMOLITION NEARING END
Defective Walls and Floors in
 Capitol Rapidly Removed.
Building will be Ready to Begin Recon struction by the End of
 This Week

Little Rock, Aug. Great
 bare walls, a roof through which
 the sunlight glistens with here and there supporting col
 umn, is all that remains of the ast wing of the new state capitol building. During the last part of the past week the convicts were put to work i'll earnest in getting out the defective walls and floors. While the attorneys argued in the court room the convicts bent all their energies to getting the floors knocked out, allowing the debris to accumulate on the first floor to be later removed. In this manner the convicts have left nothing but the iron girders, stripped of the concrete, wall here and there and a number of tall concrete columns which support the roof and the three little galleries of the senate chamber. Before the week closed the convicts crossed to the west wing of the budding. They began on the floors of the house of representative and Saturday night they had large holes in it. Today the conv1cts began upon the gov ernor's chamber and by night the room, which had been finished will be mass of ruins.
 If the convicts are allowed to go ahead with their work through tue present week all the injunctious ever issued would be of no avail to Caldwell & Drake, the con- tractors, as every floor and wall would be by that time removed. The basement has been wired and work can now go ahead there, as as it is brilliantly lighted. The convicts have also commenced the removal of the high frame tower which rose above the roof Of the building and was erected as a temporary support to the large cop per dome which was to be placed upon the building. This framework was considered unsafe.
 The commission is now buying heavily and Saturday purchased about SI5,ooo worth of timbers. The most expensive portion of this is the 60 1t. piece of timber, I2 by I2 inches, which will have to be in one piece and which will force tearing out of some machinery in the mill where it is to be turn ed out in order to get it through the saws. The commission is pur- every thing possible in Little Rock, and absolutely noth- ing which can be purchased in the state, will be bought from the out side.
 As there were no guards about the building yesterday, hundreds visited the capitol to pick their way about through the debris on the floor.

A SUGGESTION
MILLINER Y CO.

The Prescott crowd who at .tended the Reclamation contest at Camden Friday night, return
 ed home Saturday night much
 ratified at the honors taken
 from the occasion. They report much enthusiasm over the event
 and that large delegations from the adjoining towns were present
 in some instances running as high
 as 150 people. This gathering of
 the best citizenship from the ad- lacent counties of Camden will 'materialIy help that town, by bringing into closer relationship mutual interests, and the thought naturally suggests itself that Prescott merchants might greatly aid our town by follow the splendid example of Camden. By raising a small fund, a silver |cup and two or three medals might be offered by them to con |tiguous schools and the event pulled off in the fall. The matter IS worthy of consideration and Tone for which there should not De the least hesitancyr

STILL CUTTING APPROPRIATIONS

The mem- bers of the State Normal Board are meeting with Governor Dont aghey to see what can be done without at the Normal and it's branch, for the next year. 1t is probable the schools will suffer about S2O,00O which will be taken from the Conway institu- tion by curtailing Improvements which have been provided for by the legislature. Governor Dona- ghey took $31 ,OOO from the Uni versity of Arkansas appropria- tion and S19,OOO from the ex- perimental stations Saturday, af- ter meeting with the university board.

RETURNS FROM ALABAMA

Little Rock. May 24.-Judge J. EI Hampton chairman of the Ar kansas Tax Commission arrived this morning from Fordyce,, he stopping there to spend Sunday, on his way back from Alabama where he went with Secretary McDaniels of the Commission to inspect the work of the Alabama commission Secretary McDaniels returned Saturday night. The commission started under about the same conditions as the Ar kansas commission, and the com missiOners will start here in a. bout the same way as did the Alabama commission. A meeting will be held today and it is thought a state convention of assessors will be called so as to get all the assessors working with the commission and have the assessments all made on one basis. The cOmmiSS on expects to at once declare taxation upon tangible assets, from which source much revenue is expect ed. This was the chief revenue producer of the Alabama commis- sion for, a number of months, un- til the other systems were work ing good. It brought relief inn mediately and that is what Gov ernor Donaghey is after, as he has pledged himself to give the state institutions all the surplus revenue possible to relieve the reduc tions recently made in their apprOpria tiOns.

COMMERCIAL ] HOTEL H!l]
 TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Its Manager, MT. P. (. Smith and Wife, Suddenly Leave Town for Other
 Points Saturday Night.

The Commercial Hotel, located in the Gee block, on West Inain street, is not doing business to- day and it's manager, Mr. F. q. Smith would like to be found by some of the boarders, who had paid him in advance.
 Late Saturday afternoon, MT. Smith went to all the boarders, and told them that he had receiv- ed news of an accident to a re- lative in Little Rock and that he wanted to go to his assistance, and asked them for the money due on their board bill. All of them paid him up, and some paid in advance. and Mn. Smith pur- chased his ticket and left, on the nOrth1bOund cannon ball for Lit tie Rock.
 The next morning when time came for breakfast there was no breakfast, and an investiga- tion revealed that Mrs. Smith too had gone. Informa tion received at the depot, proved that she had purchased a ticket for Poplar Bluff, Mo-, and had left on the ol2O train that morning. The bOarders did the best they could one of them volunteering to do l the cooking and breakfast was soon ready. But during the day. they one by one sought new quar- ters. and today the place is clos ed.
 Mrs. $. B, Gee who owns the building as well as the furnish ings of the hotel, is short a month or more rent besides a lot of table linen, sheets, etc, which Mr Smith took with him. These things were boxed up about the middle of last week, and shipped to Poplar Bluff by freight.
 MT. Smith carried no baggage with him and Mrs. Smith whose departure was unheralded, went to the train alone carrying a suit case. which she had checked to her destination.
 The Smiths came here about the 1st of April and rented the hotel from Mir. Gee and appeared to be doing a good business. His former residence was never made known to any one.
 There are several applicants for the hotel today, and it will probably be opened up again in a day or tive.

DAILY HEALTH HINT

The dark, poorly ventilated
 rooms of today are doing for those who are compelled to live in them practically what the dun
 geons of the middle ages did for the unfortunate victims senten- ced to pass their days within their walls. There is, however, this difference. In the olden time men threw their enemies into dungeons, from which they em- erged if at all broken in health and ready for the grave. Now un- fortunate people pay for the priv ilege of living in quarters from which light and air are excluded and which are, to degree, as dangerous to life and health as were the dungeons of 300 years ago. Happily we are waking up to the importance of proper hous- ing as a most important factor in promoting community health

FOR SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS

Little Rock May 24.- A very large audience yesterday after noon greeted Rev. C.. E, Cunning ham the pastor of the UniversaR- ist Chapel who spoke at the Ma jestic in favor of wholesome Sun day amusements. He was intro duced by Mayor Duley, who heart fly approved the sentiments of Rev. Cunningham for Sunday base Cunningham spoke for over an hour and held his audience in- tensely interested the entire time. Speaking of Sunday base ball he characterized the game as the greatest Of all sports, and referred to the absolute devotion of rich and poor to it. He stated the poor and the working man did not have an opportunity of seeing the games, or indulging in them on week days, and when they are deprived of the sport on Sunday by Blue laws, burden is placed upon them which is unjust. Rev. Cunningham stated all places of wholesome amusement should be kept open for the work ing people on Sunday He said the people should be allowed to have what amusement they wanted on the Sabbath just so long as it did not interfere with anyone else or his religious belief. Rev Gun ningham was very earnest in his plea for Sunday amusements for the working man and from his lecture a movement will start to get Sunday ball in Little Rock Amateur ball is now allowed in the suburbs of the city but pro- fessional ball is not permitted in either Little Rock or Agenta,
