CONTRACTORS LOSE
CALDWELL & DRAKE FAIL TO COLLECT ON VOUCHERS HELD.
Appropriation of 1903 Was Not a Con- tinuing Act-Case Will Go to
 Supreme Court.

Little Rock.-The supreme dourt handed down an opinion in the cele, brated Caldwell X Drake state capitol vouuchor case, reversing Judges Fulk, Stevenson and Martineau, and dismiss ing the mandamus proceedings. Chief Justice McCulloch handed down the opinion, and Justice Carroll D. Wood dissented
 Caldwell X Drake held vouchers ap- proximating $2o,oo0, approved by the old commission, for work done during 1907. They were presented to the state auditor for warrants, bNt he re- fused to issue the warrants on the ground thatt here was no appropria- tion to pay them. Counsel for the con tractors maintained that there was au- thority both under the old act of 1903, which provided in a general way for the completion of the state house, and uader the act of 1909, known as the Oldham act, and which appropriated $330, ,000 for the completion of the cap itol.
 The state auditor demurred to this contention, citing the opinion of the supreme court in the case of Moore vs. Alexander, to the effect that there was no appropriation under the act of 1903, as no appropriation could exceed two years in duration, and contendipg, further, that the appropriation of $330 ,000, made under the act of 1909, was for future work and not work al ready done.
 The circuit court granted the peti- tion for mandamus, however, on the ground that the appropriation of 1903 was a continuing appropriation, and ordered the warrants drawn. The opinion states that it is needless to pass upon the point as to whether or not there is anything available, under the act of 1903, on the original con tract with Caldwell & Drake, as "that question was disposed of in the Moore vs. Alexander case, and the court sees no reason for reversing that opinion.
 AS to funds being available for pay ing these vouchers under the Oldham | act of 1909 the court likewise holds that the contractors are wrong, and thdt tHc Hooo,oOO IS to meet the eA' penses of future work, or work done after the passage of the Oldham bill, and not for work done prior to that time.
 The court avoided passing upon the question of the validity of the act which terminated the contract between the state and Caldwell & Drake. ob- serving that the question of validity was not essential in determining the ! point before the court in this particu- lar case. Hence it did not presume to say whether the act was constitutional | or not
 As federal question involving the power of the legislature to abrogate Caldwell & Drake's contract is in the pleadings, the case will be taken to the United States supreme court.

Answers for the Anxious.

No, Corinne, you cannot expect much success with your thermometer bulbs if you set them out now.
 Thermometer bulbs should be planted in the late fall so that they may get good start during the win ter months.
 Atomizer bulbs. however, may be planted now to good effect. Give them the same care and plant them in the same soil as your rubber plant.
 We believe you were testing when you asked if you should set out your electric light bulbs beside the currant bushes. If not, we should advise you to put them in the pole bean patch.

The orchard Is in winter bloom.
 The boughs are garbed in white It seems that hints of vague perfume Should drift in through the night. For they were in early spring
 The trees have bloomed again, AS wondrous in their blossoming
 As ever they were then. The breezes toss the petals down,
 The trees stand lazy-wise The lights within the distant town
 Are echoed in the skies The stars are white and bright and clear As ever in the day When laughing spring was truly here With all the breath of May. There is a spring hush in the air.
 The world is very still The bees on honeytrails should fare
 Along the dreaming Till And drone along the orchard ways
 Their amber hoards to bring As in the other blossom days
 That only come with spring. White magic. this, that loads the trees With sdrooping strands of white And paints the springstime ecstasies
 Against the winter night. But vainly do we wonder why
 The breeze brings no perfume And vanly does 1t seek and sigh
 Amid the winter bloom.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Butler People Should Learn to
Detect the Approach of
Kidney Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble
are so unmistakable that they leave
no ground for doubt. Such kidneys
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive
urine, full of sediment, irregular of
passage or attended by sensation of
scalding. The back aches constantly,
headaches and dizzy spells may occur
and the victim is often weighed down
by feeling of languor and fatigue.
Neglect these warnings and there is
danger of dropsy, Brights disease, or
diabetes. Any one of these symptoms
is warning enough to begin treating
the kidneys at once. Delay often
proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's -
proof:

CRIPPEN GUILTY, TO

Trial of Ethel Clara Leneve, Typist
Charges as Accessory, Begins Tues

London, England, Oct. 22.-Doc-
tor Hawley II. Crippen, after trial
extending over five days elaboration
by a jury, was to-day found guilty of
the murder of his wife, an American
woman, known on the stage as Belle
Elmore
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, who
presided at the trial, sentenced Grip
pen to be hanged November Is.
There is the strongest prejudice in
England against executing man on
purely circumStantial evidence, and
an incident at the close of the trial
has caused the impression that the
jury may have recommended a life
sentence.
After Crippen was sentenced the
foreman of the jury handed TO Lord
Chief Justice a note. After looking
at it the Justice said:
THAT shall be forwarded to the
proper quarter.
The proper quarter might mean
the Home Secretary, who has juris-
diction in such matters. The Jurors
refused to discuss the incident

panic of 1907 in the United States, it
made with great public announce
ment a sweeping reduction in prices.
The result was prompt and very
marked revival of activity in the do
mestic sales of iron and steele pro-
ducts, leading to the planning and
building of many new bridges, build
ings and other structures, and the re-
newal of operations in many indus
tries requiring iron and steel,
If American manufacturers of lead,
oil chemicals, hardware, harvesting
machinery, watches, typewriters,
typesetting machines would give
Americans the same prices extended
to foreigners, there is no reason why
their markets would not be vastly en-
larged, as were those of the steel
trust. The American people consti-
tute the greatest purchasing possible
ties in the world.
Experience with American trusts,
however, iustifies the view of down
ward revisionists that the manufac'
turerS in the United States will mo-
reduce their domestic prices to any
where near the level of the prices ex.
tended to foreigners until they are
forced to do so by real downward re.
vision of the tariff.
Going Up!
Prices are still going up. AS a re.
suit of the upward revision of the en-.
/ tire cotton schedule in the Payne.
Aldrich law, the prices of women'>
and children's dress goods have in
creased considerably.
The John V. Farwel Company
says in a review of the wholesale dry
goods trade that still more advances
may be expected.
The review declares that "almos
all manufacturing agents are advanc
ing prices on staple manufactured
cottons. AS it looks now prices will
continue to grow firmer and higher
in staple and cotton goods.
This is Certain!

Vital Washington News.

By CLYDE Tsvenner.
Washington, Oct, 24-More than
175 American manufacturers, whose
productions are protected in this
country by the Payne-Aldrich bill,
are selling their goods cheaper
abroad than at home.
The best evidence that American
consumers are being charged excess
sively is the secrecy with which the
tariff beneficiaries make lower prices
to foreigners.
The beef trust heads the list. II
is shipping American beefto England,
and, after paying transportation
across the Atlantic, selling its pro-
ducts at two cents pound below
American market price.
The following table compiled from
discount sheets sent to Europe by
American firms shows the difference
