30 TON ORDERS
 HOISTED IN PLACE
An Engineering Feat, Which Seemed a Mere Trifle, Performed at the New State Capitol Grounds
 In Little Rock.

Little Rock, April 23.-An engi- reering feat which appeared to be nothing more than a mere trifle, was pulled off at the new State Capitol yesterday afternoon and this morning when two of the 30 ton girders were set in position at the top of the 40 foot columns which will support the stone dome.
 The immense gicders, 40 feet long and nine feet high, were handled al- most as easily as though they were small timbers.
 The girders will bear the strain of the dome and four are laid at right angles to each other at the top Of the steel columns, with heavy braces across the corners. It took two cars to bring them to Little Rock and two of the girders have not yet ar- lived on account of breaking the cars carrying them down, necessitating the sending back for heavy machinery to load them on other cars.
 The two girders were unloaded at the capitol grounds yesterday and it took the most of the afternoon to get enc in place, on account of the pre- cautions which had to be taken before i. was lifted. The lifting portion took less than five minutes when once ev- erything was in readiness. It took the combined forces of two stationary engines pulling away at large der rcks, with cables at each end of the girders, to elevate them. The second girder was placed on top of the col- umns this morning.
 Governor Donaghey was an inter esting spectator at the setting of the fist girder.

MAY SETTLE THEIR
 DIFFERENCES
There Will Not Be Legal Fight Over Dam Site On Ouachita River Between the Two Companies
 Which Made Application.

Little Rock, April 23.-Prospects fer suit between the Garland Power and Development Company and the Ouachita Power Company the former having a charter to build a dam fnc water power purposes across the Ouachita river in Montgomery county, and the other begging the Arkansas Board of Railroad Incorporation for 6 charter, are beginning to grow slim.
 The two corporations want a dam site within a mile of each other and If the second charter is granted and the dam built by this company 1t would cause the dam of the other to te oyerflowed.
 The Ouachita company was the first in the field however, but not the first to apply for charter, on ac- count of illness Of the promoter.
 The lack of charter has been off, set by activity on the part of the Ouachita company, which has secured the most of the right of way desired ny the Garalnd company.
 Representatives of both companies nave been in the city for several days and 1t is said an amicable settlement vill be reached by which one of the companies will be able to go ahead and build dam which will provide <L 1T- S-s1 ies and towns in central Arkansas.

The [. s. Government in it's Pure Food Law" does not ''indorse'' or guarantee" any preparation, as some manufacturers in their advertisements would make it appear. In the case of medicines the law provides that certain drugs shall be mentioned on the labels, if they are ingredients of tie preparations. Ely's Cream Balm, the we'll known family remedy for cold in the head, hay fever and nasal catarrh, doesn't contain single in- jrrious drug. so the makers have sim liy to print the fact that it complies fully with all the requirements of the law.

ARIESIAk CITY LADS
COP SECOND GAME
Champs Gould Not Pound
the Pill Timely.

Albany pulled the second chestnut
out of the fire yesterday afternoon
on Dudley Field by shutting out Amer
icus by a score of 4 to 0. The Albany
sluggers copied the game by timely
hitting, errors on the part of the
Champs and tie adverse decisions OF
McAfee at critical moments. This
combination of circumstances was TOO
much for them to have any chance Of
winning.
The crowd of fans present showed its
disapproval of McAfee's decisions IN
no uncertain manner, as they were re-
peated time and again. The fans fair
.ly howled when Bunkley was called
out at second in the sixth inning, after
McAfee had given two very close de-
cisions in favor of Albany short time
before. Again in the ninth Goodwin
high fly to the right field fence line
was very close. Many thought it was
fair ball. but it went the way of the
otker close decisions.
The lads from the Artesian City

one in the fourth, and one in the thir /.
The Champs scored only near" runs.
Time and again men would get on
third base only to die on account o.
failure TO get the necessary hi.
The Champs came within an ace OF
Iscoring-but why relate such disagree

The Albany tossers made their two
runs in the first inning as follows

At first on slow play Woford went 70
