STATE CAPITOL
MIDDLE STILL ON

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-Special.
Forty days has the general as
sembly reigned, and today the
seventh week of the session opened
with flood of state capitol matters
to be attended to. Both houses are
expected to deal with this propos-
ition almost exclusively again this
week, and at the end accomplish
little more than at the close of the
last.
The house and senate will have
many minor bills which will occu-
ply the passing moments, but the
discussion is sure to revert to the
capitol. AS the days go by the
fight on this proposition grows
closer along the lines advocated
by Governor Donaghey, however,
and those who ara supporting him
in the lower house are so numerous
that it is thought he will prevail
within the next week or two.
From all over the state letters
are pouring in upon the Legislators,
urging them to remove the stumb-
ling blocks and have harmony on
the building so that Gov. Dona-
ghey can make good his campaign
promises of having the building
completed within a year.

.EMBAL MERS' BILL IS PASSED
House Considers Senate Bills
after Hearing Capitol Report.
Telephone Bill which Passed House unan-
imously lis Defeated in the
Senate, 10 to7.

Little Rock, Feb. 2o.-Special-
The bill which has been worked
for by the embalmers of Arkansas
for a number of years, was yester-
day afternoon acted on favorably
by the house and will receive the
signature of Governor Donaghey
at once and become law, for it
has already passed the senate.
This bill was introduced in the
senate by De Rossitt, and proml-
nent embalmers from all over the
state have been working for its
passage. 1t provides for an embalm-
ing board, and those who work in
the state must pass an examination
before the board and secure GER
tifcate. Some time was spent
after the afternoon session opened
in completing the reading of the
report of the state capitol commits
sion, and 500 copies of it were or
dered printed. The house then
devoted itself to senate bills and
acted upon them as follows:
Rasco, for the protection of cul-
verts and bridges, read once; Row
land, governing the rules for en-
trance to the state Deaf Mute insti-
tute so a child under six years that
is an orphan and possesses the other
requirements may be entered, read
once; Bush, for creation of Martin
Vile special school district in
Faulkner county, read twice and
referred to the committee on edu-
cation; Bush, for amendmentsec-
ton 1888 Kirky's Digest, read
twice and referred to judiciary COM
mittee. Toney to increase salaries
of circuit and chancery judges to
$1,000 per annum, sent back to
second reading for amendment.
A discussion was engaged in over
the failure of the senate to consider
house matters, some members
favoring retaliation. The house
finally adjourned to end the dis
cussion until Saturday morning.
Little was done in the senate,
the telephone bill which passed
the house unanimously, being
taken up and defeated rs to 7.
This bill was intended to keep the
rates on telephones down in the
larger elise of the state. After
this discussion the senate adjourn
ed until Monday morning.

gone by the board and are never more

this. long time popularity and that is to
be found in its superior merits. When

for our young people. And to en-
courage the patrons to give these
to the children is the work OF the
association. How small the eX-
pense compared with the good
resulting! Surely the returns will
more than justify the outlay.
AS to me mbership, the roll IS
open to those who really desire to
work in this behalf. 1t even goes
further and invites those who can
not devote their time to the work
to contribute small amount an
nually to be used to the best advan-
tage by those whose time is more
at their command. As in every
other movement worth anything
it takes time and labor and money
to accomplish results. The asso-
citation now organized lin Conway
numbers nearly fifty, and the men,
bers are ready and willing to work.
They need the cooperation of all
interested in seeing our new school
building and grounds a model of
interest and attractiveness, and
the invitation goes out to all to
come and join us; if not, send us
your annual offering and reap the
result of our labors, feeling that
you are to some extent at least de-
serving of credit for the benefits
received

WANTEO-TO LEASE CONV|CTS
Two Hundred Men Offered tor
Hire by the State.
Superintendent Pitcock Endeavoring to
Garry Out Boards Orders to Lease
Convicts for 80 Days.

Little Rock, Feb. 22.-Special.
For Hire-Two hundred we'll
fed and uniformed men, guarded
in their every movement, and
guaranteed to work. Apply James
Pitcock, Superintendent. Appli-
cant must come prepared to pay
not less than 81 per day tor each
hand, and bring a record clear OF
financial indebtedness to the state. F."
Such is the kind of an advertise
ment Supt. James Pitcock would
like to insert i'll the papers today,
for upon him rests the burden of
leasing for 80 days the white con-
victs now in the new penltentlary
and as anxious bidders are not run
ming over him to get the men at 81
per day, he has to get out and work
up a deal by which the state will
receive an income from the men.
The state penitentiary board, af-
ter rather stormy session Satur-
day, passed a resolution to have
the superintendent of the peniten-
tiary lease out the state Convlcts
for term of so days, with the I'M
derstanding the state remains in
control of the convicts, that at
least 81 per day is received for
each man, and that the person
working them shall not be in
debted to the state for previous
convict hire. This last clause
shuts off the Arkansas Brick &
Manufacturing Co. from competing
for the services of the men. There
was another resolution passed
which requires the erection of ad-
ditional stockades at tbs state farm
and the removal of the white con-
victs there where they can be
worked, as soon as the short lease
has expired.
Supt. Pitcock returned Saturday
night from the farm and yesterday
went to the new penltentlary to
look the men over and found then
all anxious to get out AID work
having enough Of their enforced
idleness. AS it has been some
time since the state had any men
to hire he hardly knows where to
turn today in order to place the
men where the state will receive
some revenue. He is of the opinion
however that the men can b. plac
ed on railroad work, as the rail
roads have work to be done now
and also have the prison cars in
which to care for the men.
The order was transmitted to the
farm yesterday by Supt. Pitcock te
have the saw mill there put in full
time cutting up enough timber to
rush the erection of the additional
stockades for the convicts which
will be taken there soon. Supt.
Pitcock says there is already nearly
enough timber cut for the stock
