 "Sit here. Polly" he answered grave ly. pointing to place on the bench. "I want to talk to you"

 You couldn't do anything wrong," he answered. looking down at her.

The deacon was plainly disap- pointed.
 "Is 1t possibier gasped Elverson weakly.
 Well. what are you goin' to do about itY' asked Strong when he could trust himself to speak again.
 Fl shall do what Is best for Miss Pol ly." said the pastor quietly. but firmly.
 He turned away to show that the interview was at an end. Strong fol. lowed him. Douglas pointed to the gate with meaning not to be mis- taken. Good afternoon. deacon"
 Strong hesitated. He looked at the pastor. then at the gate. then at the pastor again. "I'll go." he shouted, but 1t ain't the endr' He slammed the gate behind him.

CHARMS TOOTHACHE AWAY.

Hundreds of sufferers from tooth
ache at st. Petersburg, rich and
poor alike, besiege the house of a
doorkeeper named Lazaroff, who is
widely believed to have magical pow
ers to charm away the pain. Laza-
rolf claims to have inherited his
powers from an uncle. His methods
consist in the repetition of prayer
and the gift to each sufferer of a
sheet of paper to lay against the
ache. He accepts no fee for his
cures. Conventional dentists have
tried in vain to stop his activity.

small boy held up a grimy hand.

said. "Iky Schlinsky is going to

Surveying Hot Springs Line.

Hot Springs, Feb. I5.-Speclal.
Reports reaching here today
indicate that surveyors of the Hot
Springs, Ouachita and Mena rail
roads are approaching this city
with their lines. This railroad
which has just taken over the
rights of the Mena and Eastern
Arkansas road, is expected to be
operating between this city and
Mena during the present year. A
western outlet has been wanted for
this territory for years, the Rock
Island, and Iron Mountain, opera
ting over the Little Rock and Hot
Springs Western tracks, terminal
ing their lines from the east here.
The proposed route gives Hot
Springs position on a line from
Memphis to Kansas City, and
opens up hundred of square miles
of virgin timber, and minerals.

n ,ctlOn with the capitol legislation,
the connection of Caldwell q
Drake with the new capitol has
been a great moral issue. l have
no sort of doubt that the people Of
this state would infinitely prefer
that we should remain indefinitely
where we are than for Caldwell &
Drake to be longer connected with
the building of the new capitol. In
this opinion, which 1 believe the
people have on this question, l
most heartily concur. And your
vote on the resolution to discharge
Mr.. Mann, the architect, which
was most gratifying to me, leads
me to believe that you share in
this same opinion. Now, on this
issue let the lines be drawn. If
you concur in my recommends
ton that the connection of Cald-
we'll & Drake with the great enter
prise shall forever end, then pass
the pending bill that provides for
their removal.
eff, on the contrary, you believe
that the acts of the convention
have no binding weight in this
matter, and that the people want
to retain Caldwell g. Drake, and
that the recommendations of the
executive department are not we'll
advised, then defeat the bill. This
department has fully and freely
answered all questions and given
all the information in its power,
and now, as before stated, without
the least desire to contro. or in
fluence any member of the legisla-
tive department of the government,
but in strict obedience to what l
believe to be the peoples will, l
renew my recommendation that
immediate action be taken on the
question.
1t is outrageous that there
should even be delay in the dis
charge of the architect, the con-
tractors and the commission, to
say nothing of any OF them being
retained. There is absolutely no
argument in favor of the retention
of any of them, if the capitol is
ever to be honestly completed.
But no one can say that the gov
ernor is not doing everything in
his power to make its completion
possible, and if the Legislature fails
to follow his recommendations ana
the recommendation of the Dem
ocratic platform, the people will
know where the responsibility lies.

Little Rock, Feb. I6.-Special.-
Charles d. Greaves, Republican
claimant of the senatorial seat from
Garland and Montgomery counties,
saw his stock rise in the contest on
the floor of the senate in an all day
session on the subject yesterday,
and when the day was talked to
death, Greaves had scored the
point and today the senate will
probably decide whether c. H.
Sampler, who was seated when the
session convened, will be permitted
to keep his seat. Sumpter, Dem
ocrat, has been clamoring all the
time for full investigation into
the election and the existing con-
ditions in Hot Springs and portions
of Garland county. The commit
tee has all along been in favor of
giving him the seat, but very much
opposed to going back over the
evidence. Last Tuesday the cleo
ton committee decided to make a
report to the senate, 5 to 4 in favor
of the seating of Sumpter. The
minority then intimated it would
make contrary report but had
none prepared.
Yesterday morning the entire
committee met again and voted
with two dissenters, to ask the SEN
ate to be allowed to make a COM
plete investigation of the election.
When this report was made by
Senator Toney, Senator Arnold
made long speech saying the
committee should make the report
of Tuesday, and made a motion to
that effect. Pres. Martin ruled him
out of order, stating that the senate
would, if the motion was entertain
ed, be debating to the committee
how to report, and not allowing
it to change report before making
it to the senate, even with all the
members concurring. The senate
was appealed to and Pres. Martin
was over-ridden II to II. Senator
Pindall talked all the afternoon on
the subject, and Senators Toney
and Arnold made brief rejoinders,
the senate losing the Toney amend
ment IS to IS, and then deciding,
long after time for the regular ad
journment, to ask the committees
today to bring in the report prepar'
ed last Tuesday. This motion by
Arnold passed II to IS.
Like the senate, the house, too
had an all day discussion on the
allowance of S6,25o to Senator
Pindall for his two years service
as acting governor. The bill
finally passed, with 22 dissenting
votes, and 81 in favor of allowing
the bill. The fight was on person
al grounds in some places, anc
Brown of independence said the
constitution was violated by Acting
Governor Pindall in not calling {
special election. Combs of Mad
ison stated the Office was never va
cant, and this could not be done.

SENATORIAL
'-""' FIGHT IS ON

Little Rock, Feb. I6.-Special.
Senator Watson, a Greaves sup
porter, this morning introduced a
resolution to allow the election
committee further time to make
their report in order that they
might 60 to Montgomery county
to Investigate alleged fr; I'D A
substitute resolution was intro
duced by Senator johnson, asking
a reconsideration of the vote yes
terday by which the committee
was required to report today. The
two resolutions were discussed all
day, Senator Arnold endeavoring
to amend the resolution so as to
require report next week. Both
the substitute and the original res
olution were lost, the substitute by
vote of II to IS.
The Sumpter forces tried to force
an adjournment, but lost, and the
majority REF ort favoring the seating
of Sumpter, together with the
minority report favoring Greaves
were then submitted and taken up
for debate.

A STRONG MESSAGE.

That was strong message which
Governor Donaghey delivered to
the house of representatives, in re-
Spouse to a request that he ac-
company the capitol committee,
the contractors and the commits
sioners on visit of inspection to
the new state capitol. He recites
that he can see no good in a visit
which would necessarily engage
him in a wrangle with the con-
tractors and that his charges have
already been pointed out and may
be found in printed form, but he
agrees, if the house desires, to &C
company them at any time they
desire, to show them in person
where the state has been heeced in
the construction of the capitol.
The governor then says:
"While l am not authorized to
dictate what your action shall be,
or to demand that you act at all,
yet l am persuaded that l do have
a right to submit it to you whether
some action ought not to be taken
at once in the new state capitol
matter. 1t is now more than five
weeks since the general assembly
convened, and more than half OF
the constitutional limit of the SEES
sion has expired Many grave
and important N alters remain to be
acted upon. The new capitol has
been an issue for 10 years now.
Past efforts to construct it have
been failure. The people, whose
servants we all are, demand now
that the state house shall be COM
pleted.
81 have outlined plan to settle
the whole matter This plan has
been approved by the people. Six
hundred of the best men in the
state, in state convention assem-
bled, fresh from the people, have
asked the general asse mbly to
adopt the recommendations l
should make in this matter, and
follow the course | shoulI suggest.
They gave expression to the peo-
pies will, All men elected to Of
fee by the Democratic party in
September, 1908, were elected on
that platform, and of course were
committed to its declarations.
And / do not recall any instance of
any candidate stating to the people
that he would not be bound by its
declarations.
"There is but one issue, and
that is, shall Caldwell & Drake
complete the capitol? Ever since
Caldwell admitted on the witness
stand that he paid large sum OF
money to influence senators III coz
