BOYS ESSAY ON BEER.

A London schoolboy, who was re- gently asked to write an essay on the temperance question, wrote: 'Tem- perance is what you get at beer shops. If a man does not get drunk. he is called a moderate man. A man who does not go to the pubs, is band of hopemen abstainers. It is good to be teetotal abstainers be- cause beer is rotten stuff. It sends a man off his rocker if he takes too much. We should not have beer, be- cause our wives starve and our chil- dren have no boots. It says in the Bible: Don't drink a lot of beer. Our Sunday school teacher says beer is the cuss of the youmean race. It is quite true"

EQUIVALENT TO 4 CONFESSION Caldwell & Drake's Injunction Proceedings so Regarded. Effort by Contractors to Prevent Tests of State Capitol Shows They are
 Weakening.

Little Rock, March Especial. Arguments were today taking place in the chancery court before Chancellor Martineau on the re- straining order asked for by Cald- well & Drake to prevent further tests being made on the floors of the new state capitol building. Judge J. w. Blackwood is repre- senting the plaintiffs, and Attor- ney General Hal l.. Norwood is looking after the interests of the state. Both argued the ap- plication for temporary relief as though it was upon the injunction becoming permanent.
 Considerable surprise was ex- pressed yesterday that the injunc- ton should be asked for, as it IS considered a weakening on the part of the capitol contractors and a praot cal confession of the charg- es preferred by Gov. Donaghey. Members of the capitol commissit il and close friends of George w. Caldwell urged him not to bring the suit or apply for the restrain ing order, but he would not listen to them. saying he was being wronged and was willing to fight the matter out in the courts and let them settle the question. He says that in every instance the state has since the work was stopped, endeavored to rub 1t in on him, and he will no longer sub- init to it.
 MT, Caldwell says the tests are unfair, and sucE would continue as long as he would permit, to the detriment of the building, and he will not stand for it the courts will respect his rights. He states that the state made tests of the floors two years ago and they were found to be all right, and it if would not be fair to him to have the floors which have been damaged seri ously by exposure, through the fault of the state, put to the same tests they were then. MT. Cald we'll says he is willing to have the undamaged floors put to any test the state may exact, but he wants someone with authority to do 1t, not engineers selected by the house alone.

JUDGE ENJO|NS CAPITOL EXPERTS

Little Rock, March Especial. Chancellor Martineau today granted temporary restraining order, enjoining Engineers F. w. Markham and Kurte Berle and the house committee from making fur ther tests on the new state capitol building.
 Judge Martineau held that the house had no right to start tests where property of individuals would be liable to damage.
 Before rendering his decision the chancellor overruled a motion of Attorney General Hal Norwood to have the state made party to the application for an injunction.

HIS STRONG SENSE OF DUTY
To Secure Evidence Against Quack English Police Officer Had
 Tooth Pulled.

No list of English heroes ought to be considered complete without the name of the policeman who sacrificed himself in the cause of duty the other day by having a perfectly good tooth pulled in order to provide di- rect evidence against an unqualified dentist. As yet the name is not forthcoming and the modest hero re- fuses to disclose himself. Only the story is known.
 There are recipients of the Vic toria Cross who would shrink from the ordeal of tooth extracted with out gas, and the policeman in ques- tion could not take gas as he had to keep wide awake to watch the illegal act as it proceeded The dentist in the case had evaded the law for some time and the only way to catch him seemed to be to arrest him in the very act of pulling a tooth, so the policeman, anxious to win laurels, agreed to go and lose one of his molars in the cause.
 He went and suffered at the hands of the unqualified extractor of teeth and promptly arrested him after the operation, to the amazement of the dentist.

SEES PROFIT IN TOMATOES
DeQueen Man Says From $25 to $50 an
 Acre Can be Made Raising them.

De Queen, March 6.-Special.- Upon report to be made this af- ternoon depends the fate of the to- mato growing industry in this vicinity. If a report to be made to a gathering of fruit and vegetable growers of the county is favorable plans will be begun immediately for the erection of a cooperative canning factory. A committee consisting of A Johnson, J. D. Brizendine, $. H. Nelson and K. c. Setliff has been engaged this week in interviewing farmers in an effort to astertain how many acres would be planted in tomatoes pro- vidi1g the cooperative cannery were built. If the average is sui ficient to supply good sized can ming factory the plant will be built. H. Wolfe, president ofthe Farmers aod Truck Growers association is one of the ardent advocates of the tomato growing industry. He said:
 "The trouble with many farmers is if they can't make from $75 to SIoo on an experimental crop they go back to raising cotton at SIo an acre. With tomatoes selling at SS ton from S35 to $50 can easily be made on each acre..

HEND RIX IS DEFEATED
Kingsland Team Victorious by the Score
 of 26 to 2I.

Hendrix was defeated by Kings land High School in a basketball game here last night by the score of 26 to 21. The game was not quite as interesting as it was ex- pected to be, caused probably by the Kingsland team misunder- standing of a number of the rules. Both te ms were pretty evenly matched. Following i'll the line up:
 Kingsland-Forwards, D arbey and Barker; center, Jones, guards, Garner and Childers.
 Hendrix-Forwards, Robertson and Bullard; center, Schisler; guards, James and Reynolds.

President Rivers Suffering from Blood Poi
 soning Caused by Bite on Hand.
 President w. w. Rivers of Cen tral College, who has been con- fined to his room for the past week as result of blood poisoning, is reported considerably better today and expects to be out early next week. The blood-poisoning was caused by an injury received last January. President Rivers was endeavoring one night to separate dog and cat which were fighting in the college building, and was bitten in the hand, by one or the other of the animals. The wound apparently healed up at once, but about two weeks ago began to be painful again and resulted in a fever which has confined him to his bed for over a week.
