Little Rock, Aug. 5 Special. Governor Donaghey's admin istration scored another vic tory this morning, when by a unanimous decision of the three judges to whom the states peti- ton was presented, a writ of pro hibition was issued against the court of Chancellor Martineau, ab- solutely prohibiting the chancery court from interfering by injunc- ton or otherwise with the work being done under order of the commission at the state capitol.
 Before noon nearly 100 convicts were put back to complete the work of tearing out the defective floors and walls of the capitol, and this work will probably be com pleted within the next few days, when actual construction can be- gin again.
 Justices Wood, Hart and Frau enthal who heard the case, all concurred in the opinion that Caldwell X Drake's petition for an injunction was iu fact suit against the state. In their opin- ion Justices Hart and Frauenthal held that both the Oldham and Patterson acts were constitutional.

Held Sunday Afternoon at Baptist churoh--Address by Rev. E. w. Pot tar

The soldiers Memorial service was held at the Baptist church Sunday af- ternoon at 4 o'clock. The resident members of Sedgwick post and several of the ladies of the D. A. R., Sons of Veterans and Spanish War Veterans attended. Rev. E. w. Potter conducted the devotional exercises, after which Miss Grace Sickness sang The Vacant Chair. Dr. W. H. Cane offered prayer, after which the choir sang Your Com- rade and Mine. MT. Potter read the scripture from Eph. 6-10. Preceding the sermon Georgs H. Prior sang Tent ing Tonight.
 Rev. E. w. Potter took his text from Ex. 12. 2-6. What mean ye by this service?" This had reference to the Passover, which was an established service as Memorial day is. The lat ter is not to establish sectional pre- judice or glorification of war. It be- gets love of peace and dread of war. It is an expression of grateful desire to honor those who fought to save the nation. We honor them for their cour- age; contempt of danger is not always heroism. The soldiers courage was In the noblest cause, and they held a conviction of the righteousness of the cause. and we honor them for their devotion.
 Memorial day reminds us of the cost of the heritage that we enjoy. Fou' hundred thousand lives were given to save the union: 275,000 were wounded and many of these disabled for life. The soldiers were young men.
 Debt Can Never Be Paid.
 He quoted this-that the only debt we can never pay is the debt we owe to union soldiers. As we decorate the graves we are reminded that we have u great united nation. We are grateful to our national heroes for the great blessings they have brought to the nation. Memorial day fails of it's pur- pose. if we do not perpetuate what the soldiers won.
 Mrs. H. F. Cheney had beautifully decorated the platform with flags, swamp apple blossoms, iris, white H. lacs, ferns and potted plants.
