The anti Donaghey papers are making a great deal of noise over the fact that convict guards are stationed around the new capitol building, where about So prisoners are kept at work, saying that an effort is being made to conceal the work going on within the walls If representative of one ot these papers should attempt to cross the lines at Russellville, where con victs are building big dam, or at any of the various railroad camps where convict labor is being used, he would find exactly the same sort oi guard maintained and he would not be allowed to go upon the work until the nature oi his business was ascertained. It would be a ridiculous piece of folly to put that number of convicts in a great building like the state capitol and allow the general public to move freely around among them with out restriction. Weapons and means of escape could easily be passed to the prisoners by friends and the discipline of the peniten- tiary could not possibly be main tained. But anything looks good to the anti-adminlstration howlers if it affords the slightest excuse for a slap at Donaghey.

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
BURNS WO0DSHEDS

Fire destroyed two woodsheds on
Court street about 1890 this morn
ing. Another shed came nearly
going, but the arrival of the fire de-
partment prevented the flames from
gaining sufficient headway to be a
menace to the adjoining residences.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but it is believed to have been of in
cendiary origin. The flames were
first discovered by Mrs. John
Knight, who being unable to sleep
had gone out onto the porch for a
breath of fresh air. When she opened
the door she discovered the wood
shed belonging to the Kennedy prop
erty and adjoining her own was in
flames.
She Immediately turned in the
alarm, but the shed where the flames
were first seen burned to the ground
and the Knight woodshed was de-
stroyed. The shed belonging to the
John Crow property, now occupied
by the family of Rev. w. L. Van
Nuys, had a narrow escape because
of its close proximity
AS the building where the fire first
started had not been occupied for
many weeks, it is believed some hu-
man hand was responsible for the
origin.
The fire loss was not heavy, as the
c1, TtN ani
the second one nearly so.
