Arkansas Manufactures Billion
 Buttons Year.

New port.-lt requires billion but ton holes year to accommodate the pearl buttons manufactured in Arkan- sas, according to tho statements of button men at Madison, where the button factory is running in full blast seeking to supply the demand.
 So heavy has become the demand for mussel shells from which the but tons are made that the government has set it's experts to work to discov- CT the best methods of propagating them and of restocking the streams of the ''pearl' button industry is prac- tically in the hands of these experts.

An Accomplished Linguist.

Little Rock-A negro prisoner in the penitentiary here claims to be able to speak 21 languages. He also claims to be globe trotter and to have mingled with over 271 different nations.
 The negro states that he can speak German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and many of the Polish dialects; that he knew many of the languages spok- en by the tribes of South Africa and that he could converse freely with many of the tribes in the Philippine islands. In spite of these accomplish ments, the negro is serving a sen tence for grand larceny, having been sent up from Jefferson county.

Not Yet PenniIess.

Little Rock-Financiers who have been watching the situation prophe- sled the state would be issuing war rants which would be sold for much less than the face value by this time. There were many on the inside of the administration who thought the same, but some belated liquor license money was received and the prom ised financial stringency passed over. Several sheriffs have paid in a few thousand dollars to add to the gen. eral fund.-
 The treasurer now has over S77,000 in the general fund, which, unless there is an unexpected drain from some source now unseen, will last the state, with the small daily re- ceipts, for a month or more.

The company has a contracted acreage of nearly 600 acres of fruits and vegetables which, when the marketing season comes on, must be handled promptly ard with great care. Small fruits are handled in season.

This bill was intro duced by Messrs. Dunaway and Leigh and was handled promptly by the House. It was read once and placed on second reading for early consid- eration.
 During the day the Davis state capitol bill was adopted by the House in committee of the whole and then, on motion of Speaker Brown, was turned back to the House with the tcNOuQlueuQdIIOu lLdl II D6 Q6t6dlGu. It was amended in the committee of the whole so that it provides that the governor shall appoint the su- perintendent of construction instead of the commissioners, and this amendment was adopted by the House later. after which bill and amendment were ordered engrossed.
 Four bills were passed and nine introduced during the morning ses- sion.

Good News For Pie-Eaters.

onesboro.-Firm in the belief that the climatic and soil conditions in this part Of the state are especially adapted to the production of fine cherries and that Arkansas can beat California with this product as she has with peaches, H. M. Cooley is set ting out upon his farm near here an orchard of 1.200 cherry trees. He is also planting many acres in other kinds of trees, but the cherry orch ard will be his especial hobby.

THE SENATE.

Senator Williams of Garland intro duced the bill to appropriate S25,000 for the Arkansas State Fair The money is to be spent at the rate of s10,000 year for premiums. The bill was considered in the committee of the whole and amended It was amended so that no part of the money can be used as a purse for horse races Or for encouraging horse racing in any form. The bill. as amended, was adopted by the Senate and made a special order.
 A resolution by Senator Turner of Craighead was adopted to the effect the stairways in the old state capitol should be kept in better condition. The resolution provides the state house janiors must keep the stair ways clean.
 The bill by Senator Watson, to re- quire railroad companies that receive money from their employees for the purpose of maintaining hospitals to maintain hospitals in Arkansas was passed by vote of 14 to 10.
 Quite a debate occurred over this measure as several senators thought it too much on the ''paternal govern ment" plan.
 Consideration was given Senator RowIands bill to authorize all incor- porated towns in Arkansas to use within the towns one-third of the road tax collected. Under the present law the road districts get all the money. Senator Rowland said he thought it would be the fair thing to use at least third of the money on the streets of the towns.
 Senator Henderson objected to the passage of the bill on the ground that it would repeal a special act, passed at this session, making a special road district out of the town of Pc cahontas. in Randolph county In der the special bill, Pocahontas gets all the road tax
 Senator Montgomery objected tc the bill unless it could be amended so as to exempt Lafayette county from the provisions of the bill. He claimed the towns of Stamps ant Lewisville not only pay a consider able amount of road taxes, but tha the citizens of the towns want tt see money spent on the country roads. The bill was put back on sec ond reading.
 Senate Bill No. 346, by Senato Patterson, bill prohibiting the man ufacture and sale of intoxicants il Woodruff county, was passed by vote Of p to 0.
