PindaH Salary to Be Paid.

The passage of House Bill No. 59 (Parks), appropriating $6,250 to be paid x. O. Pindall for his services as acting governor in the past two years, was the chief event in the house Mon day, while a short and snappy mes sage from Governor Donaghey, in which the governor refuses to comply with the resolution adopted by the house last week which provided for a personal trip of inspection over the new state capitol building, was the feature of the morning session.
 An entire afternoon was spent in discussing the Parks bill, which was taken up shortly before the noon hour, and which passed at 4 o'clock in the afternoon by vote of 51 to P. No lengthy speeches on the measure were made by anyone, but nearly a half of the membership discussed the bill, speaking either for or against it.. The argument against the bill in gen eral was based on the claim that K. O. Pindall should not have remained in the office, but that he should have called a special election for a new governor.
 The opposition to this argument de- clared that this should never have been done, as 1t would have been ne cessary, it was claimed, to have de- clared Governor Little incapacitated to have carried out any such action. Those who fought for the measure also argued that personal feelings in the matter should not be allowed to interfere.
 A slight furry was caused in the afternoon, when MT. Vim of Pulaski declared that he did not believe that Mir. Pindall had done his duty in re- gard to the enforcement of the 2-cent railroad rate law

Another State Capitol Bill.

Like the cat which always came back, the state capitol proposition in the Senate continues to roost on the back fence and bob up serenely every time the doors are opened long enough.
 A third state capitol bill made it's appearance in the Senate, when President Martin of Pope intro duced Senate Bill No. 186, bill to increase the state capitol commits sion to seven members, select an arch fleet, appropriate $350,000 and con tinue the state capitol tax levy of one half mill until the building is con- pleted.
 The bill did not come in the nature of a surprise, as it was known Sena- tor Martin had such bill in his pos session. It was read twice and placed on the calendar with 800 copies order ed printed.

With The Legislators
House Passed s1o,ooo War Bill.

House Passed $10,0OO War Bill.
 In the House the main feature was the debate upon and passage of the bill appropriating $10,000 as a contin- gent fund for the attorney general to be used in defending the suits now pending in the United States Supreme Court, relative to the Wingo act and other acts, particularly the Barker demurrage law, both of which have been called into question on the charge of invalidity.
 The bill was attacked on the ground that the appropriation is unnecessary, in that it is the business of the at torney general to look after the states legal interest and see that the acts of the legislature are enforced. Those advocating it's passage contended that the present appropriation is not for the ordinary expenses of the office Of attorney general, but for extraordina- ry contingencies, for the payment of witnesses in securing testimony and of expert assistants, if, in the dis erection of the attorney general, such are needed.

To Form a New Judicial District.

The bill for the formation of new judicial district, taking Scott county from the Twelfth, where it is at tached to Sebastian in the formation of that district, and placing it with Montgomery and Polk counties, in the creation of a judicial district to be known as the Eighteenth Judicial Dis trict, is a measure proposed by MT. Hamilton of Polk county. The meas ure promises to be enacted into law, as the majority of the citizens affected seem to favor the plan. MT. Hamilton is also the author of a very logical bill for the suppression and prevention of truancy, by providing for compul- sory school attendance for portion of the year.

This hut l built in a clearing l made
some two and a half miles from my claims

returned to Calgary and loaded my mules
with household effects, provisions, tools

HOW TO TRAIN OUR THOUGHTS
We Master Involuntary Thoughts by
Directing Habits, I~ncIinRtIOns,
and Temperament.

Thought is the first step in all activity.
l. e., we cannot do anything withous first
thinking about it, either voluntarily or in
voluntarily; and all thought is under our
control for we control involuntary thought
by directing the habits, inclinations. tenn
permanent, etc. which in turn direct the
action. Having cultivated more or less de-
termination TO strive earnestly for better
things, It is easy enough with most OF Us
to mma our voluntary thoughts. and
therefore to avoid doing the things that
are commonly looked upon as wrong; but
Il is the much more important involuntary
thoughts that need attention; for we are
Judged by the acts that we do in emergen-
etes-spontaneously, on the spur Of the
moment when there is no time to think
out a program. That which one does un-
der stress OF unexpected conditions is
taken by people generally to be a display
OF his real character; as, when one is un-
