n order to have the work done with

In order to have the work done with the greatest of satisfaction, convicts have swept the forms clean and even used whisk broom to get all the for eign matter off the beams so the con- crete will adhere better to them.
 The steel workers on the building have now replaced all the weak or other steel which has been condemned by the architects or their assistants, as far as the third floor. They are now working near the roof, and in this way they are no longer in the way of the concrete men. The work of talk ing down the columns for the tower in the center of the building has com menced, and only these in the base ment now remain. The large frame tower which has been used for work on the center dome will also be re- moved in short time in order to al low the work there to proceed without interruption.
 Governor Donaghey continues to spend his afternoons at the building and personally directs which portions of the work must be pushed to keep the forces working well together and not have one waiting on the other.

REBUILD CAPITOL FLOORS
WILL BE TEN INCHES THICK AND REINFORCED WITH
 IRON.

Little Rock, Oct. 18.-This morning the big concrete mixer in the state capitol began the big joh of furnish ing concrete for the rebuilding of the walls and floors of the building Tie carpenters have put the false wooden floor in the first floor, thus making a form to receive the concrete there The concrete mixer is the largest in the state and is capable of turning out hundreds of yards of concrete in a day. The crushed rock, sand and ce- ment are unloaded from cars direct into the basement through chutes, where they can be shoveled right into the hopper of the mixer without fur. ther trouble. The mixer dumps the concrete into waiting car, at the rate of yard every two minutes. The car ascends an elevator shaft to the roof of the building, where it is automati- cally dumped into a long chute which can be changed to deliver to the con- crete to any portion of the north wing of the building, and on either floor. The work this morning was com menced in a room which is behind the private hcamber of the governors of flee in the extreme northwest corner of the building, on the first floor.
 The floors are to be hollow tiling, 10 inches square, containing four com- partments, laid end to end in columns inches apart, in which the concrete is placed with a reinforcing of a l forked iron bar which has a resistance of 100 pounds to the square foot. The floors are laid 10 inches of stone con- crete, on top of which is placed lay
 CT two inches in thickness, of cinder concrete. The architects say this will give the floors teh required strength

NORMAL AND MEDICS TIE
FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON PPLAYED HERE LAST
 SATURDAY..

Playing on a muddy field at Hendrix park Saturday afternoon, the CniVer- sity of Arkansas Medics and the State Normal elevens engaged in a drawn battle, neither side being able to score.
 The teams were about as evenly matched as could be gotten together, the advantage, if any, being with the pedagogues, who had the ball on the visitors 2O-yard line when the game ended.
 The first half was played with the ball entirely in Normal territory, while the reverse was true of the sec ond half when the ball was never within 30 yards of Norma's goal.
 The Medics kicked off in the first half, the ball landing on the Normals' 15-yard line and being immediately carried back to the 25-yard line. Throughout the half the ball see-saw- ed from the Normals' 20 to 50-yard line the visitors goal never being in udllSeI. Ht oCIoilu Ic'li was PleiS CNs in the Medics' territory, with neither side being able to make any considerable gain. In the last two minutes of play, however, the peda- gogues, by fierce line bucking, pushed the ball to the visitors 10-yard line, and Sherin, in a desperate effort for a score, attempted drop kick, but failed. In the second half, Roberts the visitors fullback, was injured and had to be taken from the field. Fol the Medics, Williamson, Fletcher and Roberts starred, while the work ot Wray and Sherin was the feature of the Normals' play.

About 400 pounds of seed cotton was stolen from Mir. Imboden only few weeks ago, but no clue to the thief has been ob- tained.
