 Capitol Contractors Owe State.


 Little Rock, Jan. l5.-If the keen atten,ios paid 10 the read ing of the message ot the new governor yesterday and the pro- nouuced applause that greeted numerous sections of the lengthy document are to be taken as an indication of eommerdation on the part of the legislators, then 1t IS quite certain that the pres. ent session of the general assem- bly, will be noted by legislation along lines radically new, and to say the least, interesting.
 The consensus of opinion IS that perhaps never before in the history of the state have so many recommendations along so many varied lines and sugges. ting so many changes in present conditions and laws, been in the inaugural message of a governor Of Arkansas, and while the public was generally acquainted with what would be treated in the message, there were many recom- mendations that were new even to the intimate friends of the governor.
 Although he did not read his entire message yesterday, elim hating many subjects, such as the state university, the branch normal schools, state history commission aud a dozen other subjects treated at length in his full message, he was engaged for more than two hours in de livering the part of the message which he deemed most important and which he thought oug ht to be given in an address before the legislature.
 Among the measures meeting most general approval were in the recommendations concerning the establishment of an agricul- tural school system, the abolish. meut of the convict lease system, the maintenance of the fight against the railroads in thelr attempt 10 secure permanent rate injanctlons, a creation of state tax commission, the adjust. ment of the new state capitol matter and the enforcement of the laws, on all of which the new governor expressed himself iu most emphatic manner.
 "The deadly pistol must go," said the governor, in discussing the enforcement of the law and the necessity for rigid penalties for violation of the law agains, carrying concealed weapons. The crowd applsuded, and it was interesting to note that the ap- plauses came generally from the law makers themselves. Govern. or Douaghey declares that nil sentence must attach to viola ton of the law against pistol carryinls, and that mere fines are not sufficient,
 He received another round of applause when he declared that the convict lease system must be

BIG COLO STRIKE
IN PIONEER MINE
The Nevada Product Assays
Thousands of Dollars to
the Ton

Los Angeles, Jan. 11.--That one of
the biggest gold strikes ever made
in Nevada has recently become evident
In the Pioneer mine, north of Beatty
and Rhyolite, Is the assertion Of E.
w. Gillett, traffic manager of the Las
Vegas & Tonopah railroad. who has
just returned from that region.
Mr.. Gillett heard rich strike had
been made there several days ago. and
he went to Nevada for the purpose of
investigating 1t.
II am amazed at the strike" said
Mr.. Gillett, who is inclined to be con-
servative. "It looks SO big I am al
most afraid to talk about 1t.
Small quantities of the ore are said
to run into the thousands of dollars
to the ton. but of course that is only
for small amounts. The ordinary run
of the ore is tremendous, however.
Five cars which have thus far been
shipped averaged $117 a ton. -.
"The Pioneer is located about eight
miles from both Beatty and Rhyolite.
It is 5000 feet from the Mayfower and
adjoins the property of the Jim Dandy
mine. understand 1t is owned chiefly

.LADD WINS IN
THE BlEACHEO
FLOUR CASE
Judge Pollock Sustains Con.
tentions of the Pure Food
Commissioner
QUESTION WAS hD1L1ERAT|ON
Of FLOUR NOT BREAD PRODUCT
Evidence of the Experts Examined and
Found to be Questionable in Merit
Opinion an Exhaustive and Com.
prehensive One of the Subject.

Fargo. n. D., Jan. 11-Judge Pol
lock of the district court of the Third
judicial district this morning render
ed a decision in the famous bleached
-four case in which the millers of the
state sought to enjoin Pure Food Com
missioner Ladd from publishing bulle-
tins in which he described the flour In
which foreign elements were used for
the purpose of bleaching the same, as
adulterated. The hearing was one of
the most sensational in the history
of the fight for pure food. The de-
cision of Judge Pollock sustains the
contentious of the pure food commits
sioner on every point raised. The
opinion is a voluminous as we'll as
an exhaustive one, and not only goes
into the law of the case, but is ex-
haustive in it's discussion of the evil
dence submitted by the millers. He
holds that while it may be possible
that the bleaching elements are eradi-
Gated in the process of baking, that
the question before the court was the
adulteration of the flour and not of
the bread and that on this point there
is practically no contention. He
scores the evidence of the experts and
shows that it is not reliable in char
acter nor conclusive in merit.
The case may be appealed to the
supreme court, but in view of the TACT
that fourteen OF the seventeen millers
of the state have decided to join the
pure food commissioner in preventing
the further use of bleaching ingre-
dents would indicate that the battle
is ended.

France

Bethune, Pas de Calais. France
The first infections of capital punish
ment in France for a number of years
past were witnessed in this town to-
day when four murderers were de-
capitated by the guillotine. The exc
cutions were public and took place in
the presence of large crowd. The
record of crime against the four men
was long one. Working together
they as members of band, had ter
rorized northern France and southern
Belgium for several years. The acts
for which the men were executed were
the; murder of Abel Polet and his
brother and Two other men named
respectively Canut and PERU. AS
the condemned men. were led cut of
the prison, cries of vengeance arose
from the assembled crowd and as the
knife fell four times in rapid success
sion the people present did not hesi-
tate to evince their satisfaction.

efficiency of the system is also the
measure of the seriousness of the
abuses of the system If it be applied
to wrong purposes or directed in an
improper manner. 1t is evidently to
the public interest that there should
be vigilant inquiry into the workings
of this agency both by the heads of
the executive departments and by
congress.
"It nevertheless remains true that
this system is absolutely inlespensi-
BILE If the popular interest is to be
adequently safe guarded and wrong
doers taught to fear the law. To
show how indispensable detectives
are when important work of a con-
fdental character must be done, re-
fer you to the experience of the i'm
migration commission appointed by
congress and largely composed of
senator's and representatives which
has found it absolutely necessary to
EN- aioy detectives in order to achieve
the best results. In my communica-
ton of the fourth instant to the lower
house | have set forth at length the
reasons why, in my judgment it is
imminently desirable that, in addition
to the special detectives or inspec-
tion service of each department, there
should be in some one department,
preferably the department of justice,
a service which can be used at need
in any department in order to achieve
the ends have described.

Los Angeles persons are interested
In tho lease.
II did not go down in the mine my
self. but l was told by conservative
mining men that the reports were not
exaggerated, and the drifts are said
to be growing richer every day.
I'm one drift, thirty feet wide, the

width averaged more than 500; still

~ . ton, while one ore body, five
By Six feet, has averaged between s4OO
and $500 a ton, with rich streaks
which will run into the thousands.
II understand the shaft is now
about 200 feet deep, and the miners
are now drifting for the main vein,
although the entire shaft is in ore.
while comparatively little has
been said of the find, there are indica-
ttons of great rush into that district,
as several other properties are show
ing as good as did the Pioneer at q
similar depth.
both Beatty and Rhyolite are
building good roads into the district,
and stage lines have been put on from
both towns.
"Mr Bryan, who made the strike, is
deserving of his success, as he has
had faith in the district and has been
persevering In his work.
II have not seen the outlook so
good in the Bullfrog district before in
months as 1t is now, and conditions
also appear good In Goldfield."

No Clash of Arms, No Bloodshed, No

Missing the Result Of the Burke.
Poole War.
nv H. d. Paulson.l

Bismarck, NJ D., Jan. 11-Acting in
accordance with the order issued Sat
urday evening by Governor Burke
as commander-in-chief of the North
Dakota national guard, a detail of four
men under Capt. Murphy of company
A of Bismarck this morning took pos
session of the adjutant generals office
in the state capitol building. The
forcible possession of the Office was
obtained with no stir, Adjutant Gener-
al Poole not being present at the time
the detail appeared on the scene.
Immediately upon taking charge Of
the Office. Capt. Murphy and his men
commenced the work of taking an in
ventory and at the conclusion of this
work, Col. Peake of Valley City will
be placed In charge as acting adju-
tant general.
The action taken this morning
comes as the result of Adjutant Gen.
eral Poole's refusal to turn over the
Office at the order of the governor
issued last Friday. Governor Burke's
orders on that day retired Poole as
adjutant general and placed Col.
Peake in charge as acting adjutant
general. The refusal of Poole to
recognize the order, he claiming the
law under which the determent order
was issued Is unconstitutional, pre-
vented Col. Peake from assuming
charge of militia affairs until the de-
tail from the Bismarck company was
called out Any further action lies
with General Poole, who will prob
ably bring an action in court to test
the constitutionality of the law COW
ering retirements.
Action Started.
This afternoon Judge Winchester
issued writ of mandamus requiring
Col. Peake to show cause, If any he
can, why the Office and its effects
should not be turned over to General
Pool. This is the beginning of the
civil fight for possession of the Office
which promises many interesting de-
velopments.

HOG CHOLERA CASE
Discovery by a Missouri University
Professor, and It's Free.

Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 11.-What frosts
are to the fruit grower and floods to
the bottom land farmer, cholera has
been to the hog raiser-and more. 1t
smites herd at any season of the
year, often without apparent source,
and may kill every hog In 1t within a
month. A professor of the university
of Missouri at Columbia believes he
has discovered scientific cholera
remedy which costs little. This rem
edy is free for the asking as long as
there is any on hand at the state uni
versity. 1t is in charge of DR.. John
w. Connaway at Columbia.
DR.. Connaway is not trying to pat
ent his serum or make any money out
Of 1t. Whenever he goes to farm to
inOculate he takes the local veterin-
arian with him, If possible, and shows
him how the work is done. The SER
UNI is altogether preventive and not
curative. If hog is off his feed at
the time the serum is injected 1t does
no good.
St0ckmen Lost Millions Annually.
In the absence of authentic statis-
tics estimates are given that the loss
from hog cholera in Missouri alone
seldom falls below a million dollars
a year and often amounts to more
than five million dollars 1t is on
record that the disease has cost sew
eral Missouri growers of show hogs
in excess of $4,000 each since the mid
die of last summer. There are In
Missouri about four mtllion hogs.
worth at market prices approximately
forty-five million dollars, which have
had no insurance against cholera.
According to these figures and
proportions 1t may be said in conser-
vative general terms that an average
Of 100000 hogs or one-twentieth of
the hog population are sacrificed to
the disease each year. These animals
lined up in compact single file would
reach about 100 miles. almost the
distance by rail from Kansas City to
the agricultural college. II is anoth-
er problem to compute how many
people these hogs and their posterity,
II the plague were avoided, might feed
and what influence they would have
on the retail price of pork.
Therefore, when DR.. j. Connaway,
the professor Of veterinary science,
announced that he could prevent hogs
from having cholera. he was saying
