 1 News Notes
CAN MOVE INTO THE NEW STATE CAPITOL BUILDING ON
 JANUARY 1.
Building Will Be Ready, and Only Difficulty Will Be Provision
 for Heating.

The lew state capitol building will be ready for occupancy by the first day of January, 1911. It is pos sible that temporary heating will be provided for the new building so that the legislature can convene in it and hold it's entire session there and also that the state officers can move in shortly after the first of the year. This depends upon the decision of the executive committee of the state capitol commission relative to the question of providing now for tenn porary heating and then, later, the action of the legislature relative to providing for temporary heating
 II is considered probable that the legislature, if possible. will provide for the temporary heating as soon as possible after converting, as old leg islators have decided aversion to the idea of meeting again in the old legislative halls, where every law makers health is endangered as the result of inability to properly heat and clean the old rocms The legislators are also anxious to be the first ones to use the new legislative halls of the new state capitol. If the legislature is able to meet in the new building and remain in session there, il is as sured that the state officials will also be able to move soon after the first of the year, as the heating is the only problem in connection with the question of their moving also

THE 3-CENT RATE IS IN fFFECT AGAIN
Rock Island Railroad Company Goes Back to It's Old Rate Schedule.

Little Rock.-The Rock Island Rail road Company has resumed the charging of cents a mile for travel on it's passenger trains in Arkansas, after having the rate of 2 1-2 cents in effect for about l5 months. The change means considerable expense to the company, especially in the compiling and printing of new tar ifs. The biggest task will be the making of the new local tariffs. which must be done forthwith. Even ually the through tariffs will have to be changed, but this will be taken up as the company is able to get to it.
 The ticket claim coupons. which call for the refunding of the differ ence between the fare charged and the fare at cents mile in case the injunction against the enforce ment of the 2-cent law is dissolved, will not have to be changed as the figures charged are not given on them.

SHOOT A MAN FROM AMBUSH
Two Brothers Are Fired Upon and
 One Is Riddled With Bullets.

Crossett, Ark.-One of the most mysterious crimes ever committed ill this locality took place on the Ham burg road six miles north of here.
 The two Lambert brothers. Ernest and Guy, were returning to their home in a wagon when suddenly sey- eral men sprang out of the bushes near the road and opened fire upon them. Ernest. the elder of the two, saw the men and shouted to his brother to drop from his seat to the bottom of the wagon for protection. Guy did so, and almost immediately his brother Ernest fell prostrate upon him, riddled with several buckshot. Parties living near by say that about 30 shots were fired. The wagon bed was riddled. One of the horses was shot and the surviving Lambert had a bullet hole through one ear.
 Only one arrest has been made, al though it is understood that several men were in the party. Other ar rests are expected and much excite ment prevails.
