For State -Denositories.

The senate passed Senator Robert
 sons bill which provides for the de. posit of the state funds in each coun- ty where the same are collected
 Proper safeguards are provided in the way of bonds to amply protect the public against loss, while at the sane time the state will be enabled to s2alize interest on it's idle capital. The awards of deposits are to be mace on competitive bids, but in no case at less than 3 per cent interest. The governor, attorney general and treasurer will constitute a board with authority to make the awards of de- posit. In explaining the measure, the author of it said the purpose in view is to keep the idle funds of the state distributed as near to the people w1o pay them as possible, where the mon ey can be employed in business chan nels, rather than be kept locked up in vaults of the capitol and out of circulation. as is the case under the present law, while at the same time the state can realize a handsome sum in the way of interest on these funds.

FIRE
 IN FAYETTEVILLE
BLAZE, THAT IS LARGEST IN 20 YEARS, DOES DAMAGE TO
 AMOUNT OF $25,o00.
Flames Are Confined to One District, Despite Failure to Notify Fire
 Department in Time.

Fayetteville, Ark.-Fay has just been visited by one of the most disastrous fires that the city has sui fered in 20 years, resulting in the de- struction of property valued at $25,- coo. The fire was confined to the part of the business district known as "Schuler Town," which, because of it's nearness to the university, is where the students buy most of their school supplies.
 The fire was discovered in Hodge Bros cafe at 1:30 o'clock a. m. and alarm was immediately given. Fail ure to arouse central office from the fire district made it necessary for a messenger to run the distance of one mile to the telephone office, and from there notify the pumping sta ton. By this time the flames had gained much headway, spreading fu- riously over the frame buildings ad- jacent to the origin of the fire, and it was with difficulty that the city the fire to the limits of half a block.
 By heroic efforts the fire depart ment was able to prevent the flames from reaching the Southern hotel and the Northwest Arkansas Lumber Go, Had it reached these places, it would have been impossible for the firemen to control it, and a large part of the residence district would have been endangered.
 Among the firms that suffered to- tai loss are McAdams Drug Company, Fallis Bros, confectionery; Hodge Bros, cafe; three barber shops and a bakery. As soon as adjustments are made with the insurance compan- ies, substantial buildings will be erect ed where the wooden structures burned down.

5-MiIl State School Levy Fails.

MT. BelIamy's resolution providing for the submission of 9 constitution al amendment to increase the state tax levy from to 5 mills and reduce the maximum special levy from ' to 5 mills brought forth a strenuous dis cussion in the house The advocates of the resolution pointed out that it did not tend to increase the school tax but merely provided for a more equitable distribution of the same over the entire state. On the other hand, the opponents of the measure called attention to the fact that while it would not increase the authorized school tax on the people, yet it would take from their option the levy of the two mills that is proposed to be taken now, by the local districts and placed on the state levy. On roll call, the resolution was defeated by an over whelming vote.
