 with Baseball Bat.

Newspaper clippings received to- day from Plumas county, Califor- mia, papers indicate that James c. Tones, formerly of this city, will be acquitted of charge of murder for which he has been under arrest since August IS. The tragedy occurred in a fight at ball game on Sunday afternoon at Beckwith California, Jones striking man named George King with base ball bat, fatally injuring him.
 Iones is a son ot Mrs. Edna P. James of this city and was reared m Conway, but has spent the past three or four years in the west. He was regarded here as a quiet, industrious boy, and was never known to have engaged in a seri, ous difficulty before.
 One of the clippings, a special to the Los Angeles Bee from Beck with, says:
 People who witnessed the fight at the baseball grounds Sunday afternoon, when J. C. Jones ot Loyalton struck George King with baseball bat, fatally injurine him, believe that Jones should not be punished, as he struck King in self defense, when King and three others had attacked him without provocation. Jones was attacked by the four men and knocked down, after which he was kicked and beaten. He got away and they followed him. He picked up bat and warned the men to keep away. When they pressed him too hard, he struck the fore most, who happened to be King.

COMMISSION BUYS
 LUMBER CHEAP

Little Rock, Sept At a price less than half what lumber would have brought two years ago, the state capitol commission yes terday afternoon purchased about POS 900 feet of dimension stuff The price paid was from ST to SI3 per thousand feet. The contract was let to the Wisconsin Arkansas Lumber Co.,, who were the lowest of seven bidders. The lumber is to be delivered at this price and the successful bidder promises i'm mediately delivery. The lumber is to be used for the most part i'll the placing of the concrete ill the building, being used for forms.
 Speaking of the failure of the commission to advertise for bids, Commissioner H. L. Remmel yes terday afternoon stated that the commission bought everything by competitive bids and was getting the material at the least possible cost and much quicker than could be done by waiting to advertise.
 We have bought everything by competitive bids." said Governor Donaghey, land no one could complain at the prices we are pay ing, which are much lower than than the state ever bought before. We write letters to all the concerns and give them an equal chance. In the letting of the contract for the steel work, the Thomas For. dyce company was the only one in the state which could handle the work, but we wrote letters to seven other concerns in Chicago, New York and other places and the To cal concern out bid them all. The foreign concerns would prob ably have never seen an advertis-- ment and would not have gotten the bids in as early as we desired them"
 The executive committee of the capitol commission spends the af- ternoon at the new building every day, personally directing the work which is being done there.

My back was so weak and painful that for weeks 1 could not straighten. 1 often had dizzy spells and at such times had to catch hold of something to keep from falling, My feet and ankles swelled to nearly twice their nat ural size, and l was also bothered by frequent desire to pass the kidney seCreiions. l was treated by six physicians but none of them seemed to understand my case. I felt myself sinking lower and low CT every day and became alarmed. l had about gwen up hope of ever being cured when a friend advised me to try Deans Kidney Pills. l did so and the results of their use were far beyond my expectations, My health improved rapidly and today have no system of kidney complaint whatever.
