WILL LOOK LlLE OLD
 DAYS AT CAPITOL
Every Thing Getting Busy cd State Cap itOl and Work Will Be Pushed
 to Completion

Little Rock, August , --Before the end of the week work in all lines will be in fuil force at the new State Capitol and it will look like the days Of old before the Kirby decision stopped the work there The stone cutters have commenced their work and it vii! take only a few days now to knock out the few re- maining floors and walls. Archiir tect Gilbert has his pans so far advanced that the work of con- structiOn can commence as soon as the demolition has been cont pleted. The convicts commenced last week to tear out the north walls and floors. having already made a wreck of the floors and walls on the south end has been cleared away and with that from the north wing, the grounds in the rear will be more than lev- eled and ready for the landscape gardner to convert it into a lawn Now that there is no legal end to attend to, Governor Donaghey spends a great deal of his time at the building. He is fufiIing his campaign premises of looking after the work personally and seeing the state gets what it is paying for. Governor Donaghey even directs where the debris should be placed to the best adj vantage and even the scaffolding is put up under his watch- full eye. The chief executive looks after the building like a painter would a masterpiece he intends for the salon. He says the state house will be his masterpiece. standing as the best of the many buildings he has constructed. and he will see the state gets exact ly what was intended when the contract was let for the magnil'- icent structure. If the work keeps up with the present rapidity, work on the floors and walls should begin again within the next two weeks

COUNTY SCRIP TAXABLE.

Morrilton, Aug. 9-Parties who have been laboring under the impression that county script was not taxable when owned and held by private individuals had better get ready to change their mind and also to part with some coin A letter from Attorney General Norwood in repy to a request for information on the subject states that county script is assessable under the clause ap- plying to the assessment of mon eys credits and the like.

BIG CROP OF CANDIDATES.

Russel,vilIe Aug 9-,The fal! crop of candidates in Pope coun- ty is one of the most promising on record. The supply is more than equal to the demand but the market is holding up remarkably well. Just as an illustration of how things are going it is stated that fifteen men are willing and anxious to succeed John A. Moore as tax assessor. the indications are that there will not be less than two or three candida tes for every office in the county.

STATE BIOLOGIST
 MAKES REPORT
Prof. 4. il. Purdue Finishes Work Author ized by 1907 Legislature Re-
 gardine Scott Deposits.

Little Rock, Aug 9--The report of Prof. A. H, Purdue State Geo. logist, made in accordance with an act of thine legislature of 1907 providing for a survey of the slate deposits of Arkansa has just been issued and is one of the most interesting and valuable works bearing on the mineral and quarry resources Of the state ever publisheds
 As observed by Prof. Purdue in his report to the State Geological Commission, the attention which the slate deposits of the state have attracted within the last few years fully justifies the ao- tion of the Thirty sixth General Assembly of the State in prov.d- ing for the exhaustive eXaminaf- tion of the slate fields.
 The report is made to the geoe logical commission, consisting of Governor Donaghey, Commissions CT Guy B. Tucker of the depart ment of mines, manufactures and S dutl I tSINSIt -l man of the State University. It contains nearly 200 pages and iny- cludes in addltion to the results of two years careful study of the slate deposits, comprehensive bibliography on the geology Of Arkansas, as compiled by ex- State Geologist J. C. Branner
 According to the report, tho s,ate deposits of Arkansas are confined to that portion of the state west of the Iron Mountain railway and south of the Arkanr sas River and appear chiefly in parts of Polk, Montgomery, Sa l. inc and Garland counties, with outcropings in other counties. A number of small quarries have been established in Pulaski counH ty, but the chief slate beds are in the four counties first men, toned.
 The length of the slate bed is about 100 miles says the report. and it's width probably 15 mics. It begins just west of Little Rock and extends practically to Mena Polk county The Iron Mountain runs near the eastern border. X branch of the Rock Island from this city to Hot Springs passes over the slate fields from Ben ton to Hot Springs. The Gurdon X Fort Smith and the Malvern branch of the Iron Mountain also penetrate the slate bet, thus giv- Ing fairly liberal railway facili-- ties for exploiting the product.

SEATTLE, March 30.-With-
out a word of warning and for q
cause that is as yet "a mystery,
George Costa was this morning
shot and MORALLY wounded by
Jean Corperell. in the rear Of the
building of the Marco Carriage
company. Costa was taken to the
hospital where he died 500 after
ward.
So far as known by the police
no reason for the shooting can be
found. CorpereM was captured
in a wood shed shortly after the
crime and taken to jadl. The
men are said to be Greeks.
The police are inclined to be-

suit Of Greek vendetta or Black

SOCIETY BEAUTY AN
ACCOMPLISHED HYPNOTIST
MISS zETA HoELMANN.

OAKLAND, CAL, March 30
Tired of society's gay whirl, Miss
Zeta G. Hoelmann, pretty and
charming young woman Of Oak
lands most exclusive residence
suburb, Piedmont, has sought rec
reation for her pink-tea-tired mind
in a deep and exhaustive study of
hypnotism. Although she has been
delving into the mysteries of per-
sonal suggestion less than a year,
she has startled her friends on
many occasions by her weird
power.
Were just a wee bit afraid of
her." recently admitted one of
the social leaders of Piedmont.
Since she has been studying hyp-
notism and personal magnetism,
she has become almost a recluse
from society. i have seen her put
a whole room full of people into
q trance. It's awfully uncanny.'
Miss Hoelmann refuses to dis
cuss her hypnotic power. "Hyp-
notism is deeply interesting and
highly instructive study" is all
she will say.

But how about free coal? Now
that the New England senator's
have secured for New England
manufacturers cheaper raw mate
rails, free coal for cheaper fuel
and an actual increase in the du-
ties on their manufactured prod
ucts, what will happen to the par
|agraph which puts coal on the free
list? Answer: The senators from
the intermountain states, Wyo-
ming, Utah, Idaho and Montana,
ARE seeking combinations to fight
free coal. They say the mines
across the Canadian border In the
vicinity Of Vancouver will send
coal to the people in the north
west states at cheaper prices over
the Hill roads than they can send
coal from their own mines. So
there is to be fight on the free
coal paragraph, and in this fight
no one mentions the numerous in
dividual who uses coal not for fac
tory or railroad purposes, but to
keep his hands warm.
Then the noise you do not hear
about duties on petroleum are
those from Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr..
Archbold and other officials of
Standard Oil. There is a para
graph in Payne's bill which deals
with "countervailing duties. I"
This Is the same kind of a para
graph which did the business in
the Dingley law. It's effect is a
complete protection of the Ameri-
can market from competition in
the products made by Standard
OIL.

their sox. The woman who has
been getting her stockings at three
pairs for dollar will in future get
an inferior pair for sixty-five to
eighty-five cents. And another
thing she will begin to notice.
The stockings will run shorter
and they will not be SO large
around.
Some people thought that tariff
revision meant a reduction of the
cost of things that make living
costly. Food and clothing are the
things that cost. The man who
buys hat, the woman who buys a
shawl, the children with their
ready-made clothes are all paying
high tariff tax under the old Ding
ley law. Now comes tariff revi-
sion bill and not a single item in
the cotton, wool or silk schedules
is altered except to increase the
duty.
The conditions which the Payne
bill makes in regard to coffee i'm
portations make it certain that all
coffee will, under the new law,
pay tax. Just what amount the
tax will be is not yet certain. 1t
will not be less than a cent a
pound and it may be as much as
four cents. This will result from
the fact that Brazil and other cof-
fee exporting countries will. not
because they cannot-remove GER
tain export taxes, which they now
impose on coffee and against
which the states have issued
bonds. Tea will be taxed as per
the Payne announcement. Quiet
lily the word is passed about that
1.-THE inheritance tax is to be
dropped.
But the Manufacturers!
In this revision of the tariff the
consumer seems to have been en-
tirely lost to view. The manufac-
turer, on the other hand, has re-
|ceived every consideration. The
man who makes wooden goods, for
example. is to get his raw material
more cheaply and is to have his
finished product protected by the
same old Dingley schedules. Re
duced or on the free list In this
new Payne bill are carpet wool
|shoddy, rags and wool tops; but
protected by the same old sched-
ules are blankets, shawls, cloth
ing, carpets, underwear, tablewear
and all the thousand and one 9TH
er things made of wool and cotton.
Entirely characteristic Of this
bill is the way It treats the sugar
trust. This powerful and AFRO
giant monopoly is permitted by The
ways and means committee to
write its own revision law. What
would 1t like? Providing impor-
tations from the Philippines are

BY ellison Gardner.


WASHINGTON, d. c., March
30.-Fraud! Fraud! Fraud!
From beginning to end the Payne
tariff revision bill is permeated
with fraud. Under pretense of
revising the tariff downward the
trusts are at their old game of
getting additional legislative IA
vors and putting additional bur-
dens on the people.
There is hardly anything about
the Payne bill which is as it was
represented to be by Mr.. Payne
and the ways and means commit
tee. The statement issued pur-
porting to explain the effect of the
hundred thousand words contain
ed in the bill was as fraudulent
as the bill itself. Half the lie lay
in what is said, and the other half
in what it did not say.
How Consumer Gets His.
Lucius N. Littauer, former
member of congress, resident of
Gloversville, N. Y, wealthy
glove manufacturer himself, is I'M
derstood to have written the glove
schedule. Whether he did or not,
he has been in town haunting the
ways and means committee and
the white house. The glove sched-
ule Is another evidence of the way
Payne and his associates propose
to revise the tariff downward. The
little newsboy who gets a cheap
pair of cotton gloves to keep his
fingers from freezing in the win
ter has hundred per cent added
to the cost of the gloves by this
new bill. The same Is true Of the
cheap cotton gloves worn by the
man who drives a wagon. In
short, beginning with the hundred
per cent increase of duties on all
the cheaper gredes of gloves. the
new glove schedule sticks on AM
additional tax clear to the 16-but-
ton shoulder glove worn to the
ball.
KIM. c. Lowering. member of
congress from Taunton, Mass, isl
said to have written the cotton
schedule. There was not much to
write. Just a little Joker pro-
viding that the number of threads
in square inch of the woven
product shall be SO and so. That
little paragraph has the effect Of
raising the valuation and the duty
on the whole list Of cotton manu-
features. Then, for good measure,
a third more was added to stock
fngs and other things knit or wov-'
en- ON machines or by hand. This
means that women and children
will pay at least a third more for
their stockings, and the men for

D Suppose a woman is trying
D to buy ready made clothing
D or material for a dress. The
D first thing she will run
. against is a duty of Z cents
. a square yard on cotton or
. wooden fabric valued at 15
D cents square yard. Then
D an additional duty Is added
. of so per cent ad valorem,
D that is, another Z cents to
D the square yard. Thus the
D fabric which was originally
, valued at IA cents, has paid a
D tax of IA cents, or 100 per
D cent to the square yard.
