NORMAL COMMITTEE IN CITY
Visit of Inspection Made to State
Normal School.
Committee is Given Drive over Conway
State Officials Also
Here

After several unavoidable post
ponements the committee from the
legislature appointed to visit and
inspect the State Normal School
arrived in Conway this morning.
The committee was met at the
depot by President 10 Frauenthal
and Secretary G. L. Bahner of the
Board of Trade, President Doyne
of the Normal and several business
men of the city.
The members of the committee
here are Senator c. E. Bush of
White county and Representatives
Monroe Smith of Ashley, R. l..
Brawner of Logan and ]. w. Sim
mons of White. Senator Marshall
Patterson of Woodruff is also a
member of the committee, but was
unable to be present. The COM
mittee was accompanied by three
members of the Normal board Of
trustees, State Superintendent Geo.
B. Cook, State Auditor J. R.
Jobe and State Treasurer J. L.
Yates. Senator J. G. B. Simms
of Lake Village, former citizen OF
Conway, also accompanied the
committee. Senator Simms is a
member of the Normal committee
of the senate.
Immediately upon their arrival
the visitors were taken for a car
riage drive over the city after which
lunch was served at the Hines
Hotel. Shortly after one O'Clock
the committee proceeded to the
Normal School, where the build
ing and grounds were thoroughly
inspected. AT three O'Clock the
students and faculty were assem-
bled in the auditorium, several OF
the visitors making short address
eS.
The committee seemed much
struck with the growth and pro-
gressiveness of Conway, which was
apparent at every point during
their carriage drive. The visitors
were especially pleased with the
new public school building, which
has just been completed.
The committee will return to
Little Rock tonight.

tors, architects and commissioners,
will undoubtedly pass, as the house
h s always been friendly to Cover
nor Donaghey and his attitude OH
the state capitol question. The re-
port of the engineers who inspect
ed the walls and part of the floors
until stopped by injunction, at the
new state capitol, is expected from
Washington today, and it will be
read before the house this afternoon
or tomorrow. Gov. Donaghey says
he has no fears for what the report
will show, for if it is based upon
the tests made, it can but substan-
tiate his claims as to the construc-
ton of those parts of the building.
The Hot Springs racing bill is
expected to come up again in
slightly amended form before the
end of the week. Should the gen
eral assembly dispose of both pro-
hibition and state capitol matters
during the week, it will be the
most progressive one of the session
and relieve the assembly of all but
the taxation load.

LOCAL BILLS BY THE HUNDRED
Acts of 1909 will Eclipse Una
bridged Dictionary.
State Capitol Prohibition and Taxation
Measures Expected to Come
Up This Week.

Little Rock, March 22.-From
the present rate that local bills are
being introduced in the house and
senate, the acts of 1909 will eclipse
in size an unabridged dictionary.
Over $50 bills have been intro
duced in the house and nearly 800
in the senate. Then there are
hundreds yet to come. This is not
worrying the legislators in the
least, for they keep right on at a
merry pace, bringing in new bills
and then more new bills.
The bill to work out a financial
salvation for the state is also ex
pected during the week, and once
the ice is broken, generous crop
is expected, similar to the one of
state capitol and state wide prohibi
tion bills.
There are now so many prohl-
bilion bills in the house that nearly
every county could have one to
support. This prohibition problem
will be the main thing in the house
this week, as the Gam bill, as
amended, will be up again tomor-
row, but the state capitol matter
will demand a division of the time,
as it is also a special order of busi
ness for tomorrow. Of all the liquor
bills, the Gam bill amended for
submission, has the following and
it will probably be passed. The
Little bill to make Mississippi and
and Crittenden counties dry by
legislation, will be an after consid-
Grafton, and number of counties
will make efforts to be in cluded in
its provisions.
New Capitol Bill Probable.
There is report that new ad
ministration state capitol bill to re-
place the Patterson bill passed by
the senate, will be submitted, max
ing an additional appropriation for
stone dome. Should this not be
done, the Patterson bill, which
calls for the discharge of contrac-

Every mother knows that her
children are the smartest, sweetest
things in the world. She wishes

If love of knowledge comes not
in youth it comes not at all. Ear

what enrich the mind and form

Many persons go on drinking coffee
it is the cause of many obscure but
persistent ailments.
The -caffeine-in coffee and
tea, is very Ike uric acid, and Is Of

which, when coffee is used habitually,
become chronic.

Some idea Of the wonderful growth
of commerce and traffic in this coun-
try may be cleaned from carefully
prepared article in a recent number
of the Manufacturers Record. An
excerpt places it before the public
in figures, and those figures are rich
in inspiration. The writer points
out that, with ) Y per cent. of the
worlds population, we have 40 per
cent. of the worlds railroad mileage,
and our traffic is growing so rapid
ly that we need 10 double our entire
railroad facilities within the next ten
or fifteen years. Our population in
creases at the rate of about per
cent. year.
On the present basis of $1,000
600, this would give us 1000, 900
to 100000 more people in the
next ten years and something over
2O,000,000 in the following decade.
This will give us over 1925, 900, 900
by 1880 and 1j0,000,000 people by
1910. In thirty years our population
will be about 20 per cent. larger
than it is today, but by virtue of
the increasing power of transporta-
ton on land and sea, the use of the
telephone and telegraph which are
among the greatest agents that ever
came into existence for accelerating
business and adding to mans pro-
ductive capacity 70 per cent.
of increase in population will have
a far greater Potentially than the
population of today.-Duluth News

WHAT WIFE SAYS "e0Es,"
But It Sometimes is Bad For the
Painting.

When a property-owner knows
nothing about paint it Is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the
painter. 1t would not be SO II the
property-owner would always hire
skilled painter and then really leave
everything to him. But the house
owner so often fools himself on one
or the other of these things.
The skilled painter in every COM
munity has some of the most incom-
petent competitors that ever vexed a
conscientious workman or contractor,
and the incompetents get jobs gener-
ally by working cheap. In the next
place, when the skilled painter is
hired, they do not leave everything
to him, as so many property-owners
boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters hurrying the work.
"I'm not going to have this painters
mess around my house month" the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of a lot of wasted painting
money.
If the painter stays away few
days to allow the paint to thoroughly
dry the owner says: THAT painters
neglecting this work-guess he's side
tracking me for Jones work. won't
stand it."
What chance does painter have to
do good work for man who is con-
tinually nagging at him and other
wise handicapping him without
meaning it, of course)? A poor job
Is the inevitable result of such inter-
ference.
Poor painting costs the houseowner
money-don't forget that. 1t might

Pope's Unused Return Ticket.

An American gentleman who re-
Gently had private audience with
the Pope relates a touching story OF
his experience. He says that His Hol-
mess took from his pocket during the
interview small, handsomely chased
silver box or case, similar to purse,
and, opening 1t, showed his visitor
the unused half of a round-trip rail-
way ticket from Venice, to Rome and
return. He explained that when he
came to the conclave of cardinals to
elect successor to Leo XIII. he pur-
chased that ticket and fully expected
it to carry him back to his home, but
God changed his plans for him. He
did not murmur, although he would
much prefer to be in his old home ad-
joining st. Marks Cathedral In Ven
ice and among his beloved parishion-
ers than occupy his exalted but lone
ly throne in the Vatican. And with
tears in his eyes His Holiness said
that he kept this little relic always
on his person, and 1t gave him great
comfort to take 1t out and inspect It..

1t is a curious fact that the invar-

tar when landing from cruise Is to
get on horse. For purposes OF
economy one animal frequently
serves for two or three grinning sail

Recently a sailor from the fleet OF
British warships that accompanied

preached the keeper of a downtown
livery stable and asked for horse.
For riding or driving?" asked the
liveryman.
"Well be goin' aboard Of 'im," re-

with its works of art, rare manu-
scripts, armor and other treasures,
was blazing away, Lord Crewe order
ed a footman to place table on the
lawn and bring him an inkstand and
some telegraph forms. He then sat
down and composedly wrote this tele-
gram to Street, the Royal Academi-

Dear Street: Crewe is burning;
come and build it up again.
To his sister he sent another mes

Get Away With God Alone.

Man is no better than a leaf driv-
EN- by the wind until he has conquered
his lonely duties. This makes man
the habit of confronting great
things in solitude, and chiefly the
habit of conversing with God alone,
and of filling the soul with His
strength. For, remember. the man
who is a stranger to these habits of
solitude is neither his own master
nor the possessor of his own house.
He owns a great house, and an eter-
nal house, but it Is shut up and
locked, and he lives outside, until In
his solitude he join God unto him.
