NEARLY A THOUSAND
 BILLS INTRODUCED
Legislators Still Presenting Measures
 and Avoiding Discussion Over More
 Important Measures Now Pending.

Little Rock, Ark. April 26.--tSpe- ciaL-Eight hundred bills has been 1 introduced in the legislature when last week opened This week finds the number nearer one thousand than it was 800 last week. Fen though there remains but two weeks more of the session, Tuesday, May II, being the last working day of the General Assembly. the two houses are as pro life ill the introduction Of new bills /, as they are in siIe-steppin@ the main issues which are before them. Few . of the real important bills have De2n
 settled. and it begins to look as ! though many of those deemed import
 ant are forever asleep. The Senate will commence again today on the
 Oldham State Capitol bill and stay with it through much of the week ] Then chances now seem to favor the . Logan bill. which has the same uual- l ificatons of the Oldham bill with
 the exception of providing only abont ! $350.000 while the Oldham bill car 1 ries all appropriation more than
 double that amount for the comple- | tion of the building. Either bill will 1 be acceptable to the administration
 as work could then be resumed on i the building. The House will pass which ever bill comes from the Sen
 ate without so much delay as the
 bill has met with in the Senate. The members of the lower branch have
 gone over the matter thoroughly on
 former occasions and are very anX- l ious to get at the bf1l and eliminate
 it from the discussion in the legis lature.
 Prohibition matters seem to have evolved themselves around the Bush
 high license bill Those who have
 been fighting for state wide prohibit l tion straight through, without the people of the state having an voice
 in the matter. now recognize they l have fought losing battle and will ! probably accept the Bush bills as the
 next best thing. The liquor interest of the state would gladly accept the bill also if there was any assurance it would be permitted to govern the
 liquor business in the state for the next few years. The liquor men are exceptionally anxious to get out of
 politics, leaving their affairs of this nature ill the mands of the Model 14i-
 cense League, which guarantees all
 of it's members shall be law abiding citizens, and no law of the state or town will be violated by it's mem- bers.
 The appropriation bills will be
 wound up during the week, and an
 other brush will take place between
 the two sides on the removal of the
 University of Arkansas to Little
 Rock proposition. This bill was talked off the floor Saturday by
 Hurst, of Washington, and if re-
 marks were ever scathing in the leg
 islature, his sharp tongue rolled them forth Saturday afternoon. It is probable this matter will now go through the legislative session With
 out reaching vote, it being side tracked in the rush of others to have special bills passed upon.

Frog" james Known Here.
Frog" James, the negro who was
hung, shot and burned in Cairo last
night, is well known by members of
the Paducsh police force. His repu-
tation has been such that he was
watched by the police. Years ago he
worked at the Newport" hotel, which
was located at Broadway and Maiden
alley. He was arrested in Paducah
a number OF times, but for minor
offenses. In his forehead was a deep
scar, which was made by the sheriff
several years ago at Paris, Tenn. In
arresting James the sheriff was COM
PEELED to shoot and a 44-calibre bullet
struck the negro in the forehead. II
was detected by the skull and passed
around the head between the skull
and scalp. Later the lead was re-
moved from the rear of the negro's
scalp. Paducah police are not sur
prised at his fate.

HIS WIFE ELOPBD

WRECKED BY IT
Elderly Man Wanders Here
From Far West and is
Picked Up.
Said TO be Wealthy Wyoming
Farmer.
FOUND AT THE UNION STATION.

To prevent his being run down by
locomotives at the Union station, Pa
trolman Casper Jones took charge of
an apparently demented old man at
s o'clock this morning. At police
headquarters City Physician w. ].
Bass was called and after question
ing the man and gaining little infor-
nation, the physician ordered him
held.
The man told DIR. Bass his name
was c. l.. Champing and he remem-
bered that he had recently left Oma-
ha, Neb., and owned a big farm near
Lisk, Wyoming. The man first re-
fused to talk but when the city ply
stefan told him the object of his visit
he seemed relieved. lie said his wife
had left him and gone off with an
other man, and brooding over this is
believed to be the cause of his pres
ent condition. Champing refused to
be sent to Riverside hospital for a
few days rest and had to be carried
to the city jail. His condition was
such that 1t would have been unsafe
for him to be turned loose.
Champing had SIS in money and
checks for his baggage. He was act
ing strangely at the depot and was
attempting to board every passenger
train and switch engine that passed.
lie is about go years old and few
days confinement here may restore
his faculties. according to DR.. Bass.
