STATE NOW ON
 A SCRIP BASIS

Arkansas state finances are at rock bottom once more. It came a little earlier than had been ex- pected, as a few months ago it was circulated that there was enough money to run till about December 1. The large amounts in the pension and school funds did not count, as that was for a specific purpose. The state uni versity drew out the last $5,00O, and the state officials and em : ployes got their pay, and there was nothing left save few bal ances in state capitol, pension, school, fertilizer and other speci- al funds which cannot be used for general purposes.
 Again the state is on a scrip DaSlS, which was the prevalent condition last summer an d spring, and those who hold war rants against the state must dis count them unless the banks are willing to accept the war rants at their face value for de. posit, as matter of accomoda. tion, as many did during the last stfingancy.
 On January 1 the payment of the liquor license will begin and this will help tide over until the collections on regular taxes be- gin to come in. The fund to the credit of the penitentiary is also rapidly being depleted, but this will be augmented by the sale of state cotton.

OCTOBER WEATHER
 CONDITIONS UNUSUAL

The meteorological summary for October just prepared by H. F. Alciatore, section director for the United States Weather Bu. reau, shows that the weather conditions during the month were most unusual and far from normal. The rainfall recorded during October of tbis year is the lowest on record for October. The total precipitation for t h e month was only 0.4l inches. But three times in 33 years has the rainfall been less than one inch. In 1908 the conditions were nearer that of 1911, the rainfall that,year being o. 43 inches. The small amount of rainfall for the month is in sharp contrast with a precipitation of CAB inches last year during the month. T h e normal rainfall for October is 2.55 inches.
 As regards temperature, the mean temperature for the month was Slightly above the normal. The mean for the month tn 1 S year was 63. ?, while the normal is 62.9 degrees. Arkansas suf- fered temperature changes from S9 degrees down to 37 degrees during the month. This fall of g degrees is one of the sharpest contrasts on record.

Two Fire Alarms

A fire alarm was turned Tn this morning when the chimney at the home of J H. Kershaw burn ed out. No damage was done. The fire department answered the call, but were unable to find the cause of the alarm.
 An alarm was turned iu yes terday afternoon shortly before i o'clock when sparks from a chimney set fire to the shingles of the roof of the house occupied by J. W. Ward on West Elm street near the grammar school. The fire was exlinguished be- fore any great damage was done. Only few shingles had to be re placed.

READY TO COME
 '' TO THIS STATE

Among other things, the Pana, H., Palladium has the following to cav about the Arkansas eXhi- hition train which D a s s e d through that town;
 Beyond a doubt, Arkansas on Wheels" presented one of the finest exhibits here at noon' Tuesday, that any state i a I oven. has ever been so fortunate to nresent to the people. Several hundred people, including men, vomen and children went through the train of eleven coach es when they stopped here to show their exhibits.
 Fruit and farming products were seen in abundance, and if what we saw was a fair sample of the products of Arkansas soil, we are ready to go down on the farm now
 Luscious apples, pears, banan- as, peaches, corn, wheat an ! other grains were on display, and it really took one back to the farm life while viewing the i'm. mense quantities as well as the beauty of the display. A minia- ture rice field, irrigated and at tended, was seen in one coach, which aroused much curosity and interest. A large pumpkin weighing l05 pounds, lay care. lessly on a shelf ana on it was a large blue ribbon, stating that it had received the grand prize at a display in Memphis, Tenn, while the famous Tabasco pepper vine, with it's ripening pods, vied with other and less "assaulting" products. The various mines of the state came in for their share of exhibit, and none were more attractive than the diamond hines of the famous, Ozarks.

NO DECISION HAS
 BEEN REACHED YET

The session of the state rail- road commission was ended yes. terday afternoon shortly before 530 o'clock and Chairman Allen announced that the commission would take the matter under ad- visement and render their de, cision later.
 Many witnesses were eXamin- ed by the two attorneys repre-. senting those who favored the two different locations, Hon. T. c. McRae representing those favoring the location near the junction and Attorney J. o. A. Bush appearing for the citizens prefering site opposite the city park. Several other citizens spoke and Judge Hemingway, counsel for the Iron Mountain railroad, gave the roads side of case and introduced the testi- mony of LA. McDougal, division superintendent, and Mir. Hadley, of the engineering department, to show why the Iron Mountain preferred to have the station erected near the junction.
 The session was an interesting one and many reasons were giv en to show why the depot should be situated at the two different sites. It is probable that it will be several days before a decision will be rendered as the commits sion wishes to thoroughly dis cuss and weigh the evidence be- fore taking the final action.

bELATED RETURNS

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT Il
ADOPTED IN CALIFORNIA
Gets Through By Bare Majority
While Direct Legislation and
Recall Are Overwhelmingly
Endorsed at Polls.

IBv Morning journal Special Leased virey
San Francisco, Cal, Oct, 12.--Con-
plete official returns from 2,ST7 preL
cincts out Of 3,i2l in the state give
the following vote on the constitution
al amendments election In California:
For woman suffrage, 1880:
ageinst, 1i7,779. Majority. 2,051.
The remaining precincts are in re-
mote mountain districts and their re-
turns are not expected to change this
majority greatly. In the aggregate,
they should slightly increase the suf-
frage lead as most of them are In
counties that gave majorities for tho
amendment.
All OF the constitutional amend
ments voted on Tuesday have, by the
favorable decision OF voters, been
written into the constitution OF the
state The proposed amendments
were ratified in advance by the Leg
islature as a preliminary to their SUBJ
mission of the people
San Francisco, Oct. 12.-Woman
suffrage has triumphed in California.
Struggling returns late today from
hitherto unreported precincts finally
wiped out the majority previously
recorded against the amendment and
since this turn In the tide the margiu
IN favor of amendment number four
has increased steadily.
Totals struck off early tonight
showed the following result:
For the suffrage amendment. 49,
0S6: against, 1l7.40S; majority for the
amendment, 1,67S.
These figures represent the re-
turns from AIR precincts out of to-
tai of 3,121 In the state. AS virtually
all of the remaining precincts are In
counties which have given suffrage
majorities, 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they will increase this margin,
probably by thousand votes or more.
So overwhelming was the vote In ia
vor OF the more important amend
ments-the initiative and referendum
and the recall including the judiciary
that tabulation of tho returns was
suspended with nearly third of the
precincts remaining unreported. The
final count taken showed the follow
