BY|UNC CEMENT
 FOR NEW CAPITOL

Little Rock, Aug. 10. Within the next day or so the state capi- tol commission will let the contract for the cement which will be used in constructing the floors of the building. This will require about 1000 barrels of Portland cement, or about 50 cars. The commission has been receiving bids for the cement and by them will purchase the cement at about half the price the state has paid for cement which went into the capitol building heretofore. The commission figures it will be ready to start the reconstruction of the floors within two weeks and the cement will have to be purchas ed so the first cars can arrive by that time.

JUDGE OF PERRY
 COUNTY ON TRIAL

Perryville, Aug. Io.-On tomor- row ill the Perry circuit court the trial of County Judge J. N. Wal lace, who was indicted by the grand jury on charge of reducing the assessment on his own person. al property, will be taken up. Pending the trial the court has suspended Judge Wallace from office.
 The indictment of Judge Wallace followed an investigation by the grand jury which was i'll session here all of last week. It is alleged that he allowed himself a claim which substantially reduced the tax on his SI 700 worth of person. al property. As soon as the grand jury reported he was suspended from office. Judge Wallace owns considerable property in Perry county and is well-to-do farmer. He has been judge since last No- vember.
 Judge Wallace is reticent about the matter and talks little. He is making determined effort to fight the case and has secured the ser vices of Attorney J. F. Sellers of Morrilton for his defense.

STAR OF BETHLEHEM
 BAD BOYS' LANTERN

Little Rock, Aug. Io.-Some folks have been turning out early in Little Rock to gaze on the star Bethlehem and marvelling at it's brilliancy, also at it's bright red color, have been fooled, badly fooled. They have gotten up at 5 o'clock in the morning and pull ed the children out of bed that they might look upon the greatest of all stars which will not be visi- ble again for 500 years. Some may have seen the star, but a great many have been gazing at a lantern suspended from a kite which has been sent up each morn- ing by a bunch of mischievous boys in the east end of the city who thought it would be great joke to fool the people. The boys were succeeding admirably until one was caught and restrained from making the early morning excur- sion. He gave the secret away and the bright red star no longer becomes visible i'll the east prompt ly at 5. a. III.

Farmers Enjoy Picnic.

Sulphur Rock, Aug. 1o.-One of the largest and most important gatherings of the kind held in this part of the state for several years is the two days picnic and encamp- ment which began here today un- der the auspices of the Farmers Union. Seven counties are rep resented. Many of the visitors brought tents and camping outfits along and it looks like an old fashioned camp meeting was in progress. The facilities for camp ing are excellent here as there is plenty of shade and one of the finest springs of water in the state.

COOPER RETIRES FROM
 ARKANSAS FARMER

Another change in the manage ment of the Arkansas Farmer was made this morning, when Paul Cooper disposed of his interest in the newspaper to his partner, R. l.. Brawner, who will continue the publication of the paper alone. MT. Cooper came here from Vim cennes, Indiana, this spring and formed partnership with MT. Brawner, who had just moved here from Magazine, assuming the lease of M. F. Dickinson and J. A. Boone on the Farmer plant, which IS owned by l.. s. Duna- away.
 Mir. Cooper states that he and Mrs Cooper will spend month in the Ozark mountains in this state, after which they will probably re- turn to Indiana. where MT. Cooper will practice law.

GOVERNOR HOLDS MULES
Watermelon Peddler Innocently Asks Fa-
 vor of Executive.

Little Rock Aug. 10. o.-Governor Donaghey has not developed into watermelon raiser, nor has he become a watermelon peddler, but he sat leisurely in a watermelon wagon on West Markham street, calmy holding pair of reins over a balky pair of mules yesterday afternoon. Passers by looked on in amusement to see the governor steady the mules when a car passed. It did not bother him in the least though, for he kept right on whistling and watching the mules. A short time later far mer emerged from residence, climbed into,the wagon and Cover nor Donaghey climbed down on the opposite side. The farmer thanked him and drove on.
 Governor Donaghey was passing along the street and encountered the farmer who was having time with the fractious mules. The governor stopped and the farmer asked him to hold the mules while he went in and disposed of melon. Tie governor willingly complied and the people passing by evidently thought he was sell ing melons.from the number which asked the price of the lucious fruit. When Governor Donaghey departed the farmer was none the wiser for he did not inform him he had required the governor of Ark ansas to hold his mules.

A Sound Argument.

As a rule the newspaper does about hundred times as much in- ducing people to trade in their home town as the merchant does inducing his home patrons to take the paper. It is to the merchant S interest to extend the circulation of the home paper as, ill addition to its influence in securing home trade. it places his ads before more people in the town and sur rounding country than any other medium. He can reach people cheaper through the paper than he can pay postage on circulars. - Morrilton Democrat.

GEORGE DALE
 AGAIN IN JAIL

George Dale is again a prisoner in the Faulkner county jail, a place with which he has grown pretty familiar during the past two years. Dale was fined in justice of the peace court in the fall of 1906 for selling whiskey. He ap. pealed to the circuit court, where he was again convicted and then took an appeal to the supreme court, where the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. During these trials he spent most of the time in jail, but succeeded in making bond prior to his last ap-
 peal. After the decision of the su- pteme court against him, his bonds

LAY CORNERSTONE
 AT HOT SPRINGS

Hot Springs, Aug. Io.-In the presence of large crowd of resi- dents and visitors, and with i'm pressive and appropriate cere- monies. the cornerstone for the rev building to be occupied by the Business Mems League was laid today. A half holiday was de- clared some time ago in hcnor of the event and it was generally ob- served. Governor George w. Don aghey was one of the principal speakers. He congratulated the city on its enterprise i'll erecting such a building and spoke highly of the efficient work done by mem bers of the league. Other speakers were Col. s. w. Fordyce, Bishop John B. Morris and Col. R. H. Stockton.
 Just as soon as the building is completed the Business Men S League is planning to extend the scope of its work i'll various ways It has been handicapped for several years on account of lack of room. A movement is on foot now, how ever, to advertise the famous resort throughout the world on a more extensive scale than ever before.
 It Is learned that Governor Don- aghey has been discussing the gambling situation with interested parties on both sides during his visit in the city. There has been considerable feeling in regard to this matter for some time and after a personal visit here it is thought that the governor may take some action in the case.

Dale's fine and costs amount to $I76, and he de- clares that he cannot pay any part of it. Unless it is paid, Dale will have to serve 235 days in jail to discharge the fine and costs.
