LOOKS LIKE ONE SCHOOL
House Passed Bill Providing Four Agricultural Saeools, but Senate
 Seems to Favor One.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-The house this morning adopted the report of the committee of the whole favoring the bill providing for four agricultural schools for the state. The bill is made the special order for tomorrow morn ing and will probably pass.
 Sentiment favoring the adop- tion of the substitute by Dulaney, favoring one central school, gain ed rapidly, but was unable to de- feat the original measure. How ever, even friends of the measure in the house frankly admit they believe the senate will kill the measure by amending so as to provide for only one school.
 The senate spent the whole morning discussing the bill to raise the salaries of circuit and chaucery judges to s3,000 per an nun.

Many Sleepless Nights, Owing to a Persistent Cough. Relief
 Found at Last.

ssFor several winters my wife has been troubled with a most persistent and disagreeable cough, which invari- ably extended over period of several weeks and caused her many sleepless nights, Y writes Will J. Hayner, editor of the Burley, Colo, Bulletin. "Va- rious remedies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In Novem- Der last the cough again put in an appearance and my wife, acting on the suggestion of friend, purchased bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The result was, indeed, marvellous. After three doses the cough entirely disappeared and has not manifested itself since" This remedy is for sale by Jackson Drug Co.,, and all deslers,

ELKS PROSECUTE
 BLACK IMITATORS
The Hot Springs Local Lodge Go After Negroes Who Would Carry On Similar Organ
 ization.

Hot Springs, Feb. 4.-That the Benevolent and Protective Order of Eiks is not to be imposed upon or to have the rights of its mem bers infringed upon through ne- gro lodges wearing similar em- blems and having somewhat similar ritual and roster of office, was developed in the trial here of w. s. Gardner and Charles F.. Hodge, blacks, under arrest for violating the state law prohibit- ing any person from wearing the emblem or insignia of lodge of which he is not a member. Chas. H. Weaver, member of the Grand Lodge, described the constitution of the B. F. 0. E., declaring that it was an Ameri- can lodge, exclusively for white male citizens, and that any other person representing himself as a member of the Elks was of neces- sity misrepresenting fact. He testified as to the character of the Grand Lodge.
 The cross-examination develop ed the statement from the witness that negro wearing an Elk pin, representing himself as az Elk, could not be deceive Elks because they could not be members of the sa me order.

DONAGHEY'S BACKBONE
It Will Be Tested in His Warning to Pugiiists to Pull Off No Fight
 Tonight.

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-The gov ernor says there will be no "spar- ring match" in Little Rock to- nigh and that Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan aud Ali Wolgast will have to seek new ringsides tor both pleasure and profit.
 "I will enforce the law" ob- served the chief executive when asked if there would be a pugilis- tic exhibition at the Capital the ater tonight, as scheduled and anxiously awaited by the devo- tees of the manly art of boxing" and other things, and II really looks as if the governor meant what he said. The promoters of the sport have urged him to with. draw his objections, but he said may" iu accents soft but signifi- cant, and it looks anything but halcyonic for pugilistic craft in this vicinity today.
 Marre, who has been backing the proposition, declared the sparring match is not prize fig ht, but the governor stuck ur the "show me" sign, and Mare has been unable to find distinc- tion with a real difference. To the governor all lights" look alike, and Little Rock may have to draw in its Coney Island aspir- ations for sport that is sport.

FLAWS IN STATE
 CAPITAL BUILDING
In Response to Request Governor Don aghey Tells in Special Message : Why Caldwell & Drake Should Be Discharged
Special to Star.

Special to Star.
 Little Rock, Feb. 4 4.-Replying to resolution passed in the house requesting him to supply evidence why Caldwell & Drake, contractors for Arkensas' new state capitol building, with the architect and present members Of the capitol commisson shonld be discharged, Governor Donaghey today sent to that body special message of over fifty pages. The fault finding charges are numerous and grave. It contains the report of Major John $. S. Ewell, army expert, whom Gov. ernor Donaghey considers an inn partial expert on building.
 Among other things this report charges that the steel work has been changed from the original specifications and is so weak that 1t should be rebuilt; that the building is not fire resisting, much less fire proof; that the concrete floors are so weak that they are liable to collapse with loss of life should the building be occupied.
 It further charges that the roof is not constructed according to plans aud specifications and should be reconstructed, that the partition walls are worthless and in the face of the fact that a large percent of the contract price has already been paid, yet the building is not over half completed.
 Tn h e message Governor Donaghey refers to the fact that he was elected strictly on an antl- Caldwell & Drake platform, and that the state convention ratified the choice of the people by ap- proving his stand
 Therefore he asks the House why the will of the people should not be carrled out.

INCREASED USE OF
 NATIONAL FOREST
Timber Sales Increased 236 Per Cent Last Year and Free Lumber Per mits 76 Per Cent-Need of
 More Fire Protection.

Actual use of the veried re- sources of the governments 1bS,- GOO, GOO of National Forest lands is one on the increase, according to the report of the work for the fiscal year 1908. The report says that from an admiuistra- tive standpoint the most striking fact of the year was the remark able increase which took place iu the volume of business trausac- ted.
 This growth in business done by the United States Forest Service last year over the previ- ous year is partly brought out in the following statements showing percentage of increase. Number of timber sales, 236 per cent; amount of timber cut un- der sales, l02 per cent; number of free timber permits, 76 per cent; number ot grazing permits, 1 1 percent, and in the number of special use permits, O per cent. That the additions to existing National Forest and new cre- ations caused this increase only to a small extent is shown by the fact that the area increased is only II per cent. In speaking of this feature of the work of the Forest Service in his annual re- port, the secretary of agriculture says in part:
 Tine growth in the volume of business arising from the use of the Forest has created a very serious administrative problem. Last year 7S per cent of the time of the administrative and protec- tive force was taken up by the dem ands of National Forest busi- ness. The average forest area to each officer supposedly avail able for patrol duty was about 120, 1000 acres; but with more than three-fourths of the time of these officers occupied with tim Der sales, grazing and other busi- ness, the force actually available for patrol Wa S equivalent to about one man to each 800, ,00C acres. That under these circum- stances the fire losses ia a year of exceptional danger were kept down to very small figure in comparison with the value of the timber exposed and tbe dana ge from the forest fires elsewhere is a matter of congratulations.
 "The risk incurred, however is out of all proportion to the added cost which more adequate protection would involve. I am convinced that the provision made for the care and use of the National Forest has become ade- quate to their needs, and l have therefore submitted estimates for the fiscal year 1910 which ask for a substantial increase iu the appropriation. With the further growth in business which is cer- tain to take place during the present year, even less protec- ton can be gwen than has been given in the past. Indeed, the point has now nearly been reach ed at which is. not even a choice between providing for the needs of those who would use the Forests and protecting the Forests themselves"

BOND OF CAPITOL
 CONTRACTORS GOOD
Attorney General NorwOod Passes 0pin- ion On Responsibility of Contrac- tors Caldwell & Drake in the
 States Building Muddle.

Little KOCk, T CD. 4.-ShOTtIy after the house convened in the morning the communication from Attorney General Norwood, in answer to the resolution adopted by the house several days ago asking him to investigate the validity of the bond of Caldwell & Drake and also the financial condition of that firm, was read. On motion of Mir. Parks of La fayette the communication was re. deferred to the state capitol com mittee.
 Mir. Norwood's Opinion.
 The substance of the opinion is included ln the following para graphs:
 "I have the honor to report that after an examination of the contract, the exhibits thereto and the bond mentioned in the con- tract, I am of the opinion that the bond k not defective in any form and that any change that has beeu made in the plans and Specifications have not rendered the bond invalid and that nothing has been done to relieve the sure ties of their obligation.
 Fl presume that where your resolution says that it has beeu charged that said contract has been altered and changed, it does not mean that tbe contract as written and entered into has been changed, but that during the con- struction of the building work has been done not Tn keeping with tbe plans and specifications.
 "The right is reserved by the architect to make alterations in tue work as now shown on the plans and described in the specifi- cations without annulling the contract and bond and shall not be required to notify the sureties on the bond of any changes SC made"
 Your resolution states: "That whereas, joint committee of a former term of the legislature IS said 10 have declared the bond of no effect and worthless.
 l have carefully read the re. port of the committee, and fail to fud where they made that re- port. find on page Fl of their report that they did recommend a more thorough investigation be made and if the bonds were insufficient, that additional se- curity be given.
 From the best information can obtain, Caldwell X Drake own in Arkansas about $40, COG worth of property over aud above their lia bilities, and this does uoi include any kind of machinery or other property that they have at the state capitol building.
 l have copy of furnished Statement made to Unior Mercantile Agency, which show: that, including property, they own here, in Indiana and else. where, that they are worth $3iS,840 over and above their liabilities. That in addition tc this, George w. Caldwell is worth S113. 800, over and above their liabilities.
 My conclusions are that the bondsmen are solvent and that the bond is now vailed subsist- ing obligation, enforceable when. ever us terms and conditions are violated.
 Respectfully submitted,
 Hal l.. Norwood,
 Attorney General,

HANDS REVEAL THE THOUGHTS.
Can Not Be Made to Conceal Truth, II
ls Asserted.

A writer In an English weekly de-
clares that If we want to know what
the other person is thinking we must
look at his or her hands. Even I'M
practiced lips can lie, as every one
knows. Long practice in self-control
will enable one to keep ones voice
sweetly cordial when there is nothing
but indifference or cold dislike be-
hind it. The eyes can be made to
shoot glances which are not at all a
register for the emotions. But the
hands, 1t is asserted, are utterly be-
yond the control of those to whom
they belong. Even people who hardly
gesticulate at all-and to keep the
hands still is considered by the Anglo
Saxon most essential part of good
breeding-even these people are, II
seems, constantly revealing them
selves in little movements of the
hands. The immortal Mulvaney has
put 1t on record that womans truth
or untruth can be discerned by the
action of her hands. or course, II
takes practiced reader to interpret
what the hands are saying. 1t is not 6
