Tax Paying Closes.

Ir marked contrast with the scenes of the past few weeks, the office of Sheriff w. M. Brady has a deserted appearance today. The time for paying taxes ended Satur- day and all who have not paid will be assessed penalty of 25 per cent, as required by law. Mr.. Brady and his deputies still have much work before them, however, as large number of lists were filed with them during the closing days, on which they were not able to is sue tax receipts.

PUSHED QUESTION TOO FAR
Lawyer Probably Regretted He Had Compelled Witness to Testify at
 Such Length.

Lawyer-I insist on your repeat ing the conversation in full. It # for the jury, not you, to decide what part of it is unimportant. Now l want to know every word spoken ih your interview with Mir. Jones.
 Reluctant Witness-I have told you everything important.
 "No, that is not enough. Repeat every word or shall appeal to the court to force you to do so."
 ''Well, since you insist, l don't mind telling you that he said Jones, there is nothing to this business any way that Pm ashamed of in the least, but if any snooping little gas bag of two by three, gimlet-eyed lawyer, with a half pound of brains and Is pounds of jaw, ever bothers you about it, you can tell him the whole story.'"

CAPITOL APPROPRIATION BILL
Administration Measure to be
 Introduced by Pindall.
tration Board, it is Thought, will Accept.

Little Rock, April I2.-Special. With the state capitol bill passed, the senate and house have still a number of state capitol bills on hand, which the framers claim will go ahead and be considered further. and some of them passed, but conservative members of both houses say this will not be done, for the legislators would not dare waste so much time with the close of the session less than one month off. Governor Donaghey says he is satisfied with the matter so far as it has gone, and Senator Pindall will introduce i'll the senate, prob ably today, a new administration bill, which will probably call for an appropriation of S675, 900 for the completion of the state capitol building by the new commission to be named by Governor Donaghey The bill will also provide for a set clement with Caldwell & Drake, should the commission appointed for that purpose determine there is anything due them.
 It is reported that the commis- sioners named in the Patterson bill, Federal Judges Trieber and Rogers and Chief Justice A. E. McCulloch, will accept the as signment and soon meet for the purpose of going over the matter and determ ming what, if anything is due to Caldwell & Drake.
 Governor Donaghey has assur- ance his new appropriation bill will pass and the senate bill cutting off the state capitol tax will be defeat ed in the house, so that there will be nothing in the way of a re- sumption of work on the building by the first or middle of Juue.

The complaint prays for Judg- ment for the property mentioned, alimony, money with which to prosecute the case, an attorneys fee, the custody of the five chill dren and decree of absolute di- vorce.

NO OBJECTIONS.

He had held one of the fattest jobs in the gift of the local political boss, and when he died there was an unseemly scramble for his position. The first man to reach the boss had no particular claim upon him, but merely placed his faith in the adage of the early worm.
 "Guv-ner," said he, "do you think you would have any objections to my getting into Jones' place?''
 "Oh, Pm sure 1 have no objec- tions," was the unfeeling reply. "None in the world, if the under takers and coroner are willing"

BANQUET TO
 LEGISLATORS

Lit e Rock, April 9. About 100 members of the Arkansas general assembly attended the banquet given last night by citizens of Lit Rock at which the bill to move the University of Arkansas to Little Rock was the chief topic of discus sion. Many of the legislators spoke in fovor of the change, but there were also a number who opposed the bill, though they were decided ly in the minority at this meeting.

NO OPPOSITION TO
 SUPREME JUDGES

Saturday night the entries for the Democratic nomination for chief justice and associate justice of the supreme court closed, and the fact that Judges McCulloch and Frauenthal would have no opposl- ton for the respective positions was developed. At a meeting of the state Democratic central committee held on March 30, a resolution was adopted giving the candidates until April 10 to file their an nouncements with the secretary of the committee, and in case more than one candidate announced for either office, a primary election was called for May Y. During the I2 days after the committee meeting several were mentioned as probable candidates against the present incumbents, and A. Steele Hays of ussellville was announc- ed in the newspapers as a candi- date for associate justice by his law partner, President Jesse Mar tin of the state senate. On Satur- day night, however, MT. Hays is- sued a statement in which he an nounced that he wou'c not be a candidate, owing the sessions of courts in his home county before the time set for the primary cleo tion. The special election, as announced by Governor Donaghey will be proclaimed about the first of June, the election to be held within 30 days from the date of the proclamation, as stipulated in the constitution.
 Judge Frauenthal spent yester- day at his home in this city, and was congratulated by many friends upon the fact that he was to be elected to succeed himself as asso- ciate justice without opposition. It is regarded as high compliment to him that his work on the bench during the brief time that he has occupied 1t under an appointment from Governor Donaghey has been such that the bar of the state was practically a unit in the desire that he continue in the position. Judge Frauenthal's close friends state that he received hundreds of let ters from attorneys of almost every county pledging their support to him, and many of them speaking in high praise of the decisions he has already rendered.
 The friends of Judge McCulloch are also much pleased that he will be unopposed for chief justice. He has made a brilliant record on the bench, and his promotion to chief justice by Governor Donaghey is universally regarded as one which was thoroughly deserved.

MAETERLINCk ON TOlSTOi.

Maurice Maeterlinck is a passion ate admirer of Shakespeare and de- clares the greatest debt he owes is to the inspiring genius of the great pect. Tolstoi's attack on the English bard has caused the Belgian play wright to take up cudgels in bitter way against the aged philosopher. He is quoted a, saying:
 'Tolstoi now gives to the world poor, feeble messages of morbid res- ignation-messages such as might have been conceived and elaborated by monk of the year 1000 or by a sick beadle."

SOLONS CLAMOR FOR PER DIEM
Appropriation of $Ioo, 900 Has
 Been Exhausted.
House Still at Work on Leigh-Dunaway Compromise State Capi-
 tol Bill.

Little Rock, April 8-Special.- The appropriation of SIoo, 900 tc detray the expenses of the leglsla- ture was exhausted this morning before the senate finally passed the house bill appropriating an addi' tional S3o, ,ooo for the same pur pose, and the legislators who draw their per diem daily have been clamoring for money. As it will take another day to have the bill prepared for presentation to the governor for his signature, the members will be forced to wait.
 Still the house fights over the Leie h. Dunaway state capitol bill and it is hourly shaping itself more and more like the Patterson ad- ministration bill until 1t will prob ably carry all the features of the administration measure when 1t is put on it's final vote. It took up the most of the day in the house yesterday, the principal discussion being upon the manner of arbltra ton of the Caldwell & Drake ac- count. The bill provided for one arbiter to be selected by Governor Donaghey, another by Caldwell & Drake and a third by the two, but was changed to board of arbitra- tion to consist of Federal Judges John H. Rogers and Jacob Trieber and Chief Justice of the supreme court E. A. McColluch, which was one of the provisions of the Patterson bill. The $500, GOO ap- propriation for the completion of the capitol was cut to $500, 900 and the next general assembly will be asked to look after improving the grounds.
 Six Senators yesterday afternoon mustered up courage to vote against the Oldham tuberculosis hospital bill. They were Arnold Bush, Carlock, Glover, Mcknight aud Yopp. The bill passed by a vote of g to 6, and carries with 1t an appropriation of $50, ,ooo to erect and maintain sanitarlum for the treatment of tubercu- losis. Another important bill passed was the bulk sale bill, which secured a vote of B to 5 It was introduced by Senator Holland and prevents merchant selling his stock without giving the creditors 5 days notice. Other bills passed were: No. 3o6, Greenhaw, ap- propriating S9,ooo for the printing of state reports; No. 295, Arnold !, requiring railroads to pay prompt ly for all stock killed; No. 277 Ed mondson, requiring the stamp or signature ot the sheriff of all sum- mons served by other officials.
