In his delivery, but his wit and satire
coupled with his great voice make the

PULASKI GRAND JURY
 MET AGAIN TODAY

Little Rock, Feb. 12.-The Pulaski County grand jury met again today and will probably finish it's work and make it's final report this week. There is con- siderable speculation among the people on the character of the report, especially with reference to the antigambling crusade that has been in progress here for several weeks.
 It is understood that consider able evidence has been taken, and the further fact that the city officials, led by Mayor Fay Tor, has raided several places and contiscated and burned the gambling devices found there, will have bearing upon the sit uation.
 There have been two raids made. The first time about S1, ,500 worth of tables, wheels, etc., was taken, and later public. ly burned upon an order issued by Police Judge Tweedy. Sev- eral days later another raid was made. and twice as much stuff, stored over Arata s saloon, across the street from the Capital hotel, was taken and likewise publicly burned.
 It is said there are two or three other places yet to be raid ed. There are probably quiet poker games in private apart ments, and some more general games guarded by secret doors and watchful sentries, that the police are unable to locate, but the mayor has declared that gambling must be stopped in Little Rock, and there is ade, quate law to do so.

GOVERNMENT NOT SO
 LENIENT THIS YEAR

The corporations of tke state will not this year find the federal government so lenient as it was last in the collection of the gov ernment corporation tax. The penalty for failure to file with the Collector of Internal Reve- nue the annual report or which the blanks have been thoroughly distributed, on or before March 1, is S1, ,000.
 Last year, the first it was oper- ated, the people did not general ly understand it, and small of fers were accepted in compro- mise for the deIinquents. But now the people have had suffici. ent time and experience to know all that is required of them, and this year Collector Tucker says that he fears the detartment will hold out for the full amount of the penalty

When Bill Saunders and Harry
Clotworthy, who is now magazine
writer and expert on military affairs
were cowmen in the west they one
day drove a bunch of cattle across
a stretch of country which offered as
it's chief products heat and alkall
When their temperature had been
raised to the boiling point and their
eyes and throats were full Of dust,
they struck a Wyoming town which
boasted an excellent lunch room.
Clotworthy ordered a steak blood
rare, and Bill Saunders impressed on
the waiter in picturesque language
that his steak must be we'll done. The
waiter finally appeared and set food
before the two famished men, but, as
sometimes happens with walters, he
made mistake, giving Saunders the
blood rare beef Bill, confident that he
was about to enjoy his favorite dish,
cut into it with a bold sweep of his
knife and was rewarded by seeing that
it had hardly touched the fire.
With the utmost solemnity he threw
the steak to the sawdust floor, drew
his gun and shot two holes into it.
Then, calling the waiter, he said calm

A PLEASANT SURPRISE

bers innocently asked Mrs. G. r..
Nugent if size would be at hume
that evening, as she intended to
come over.
This remark caused the Cali

in the Library, but they were
astonisheu when a whole delega-
tion of friends 'came over, "
bringing arm-loads of substantial
supplies with them. In short, an
old-fashioned donation party with
the latest modern improvements.
The visitors took possession of
the house, and music, singing,
candY-pulling and corn-popping
were in evidence until late hour
when the merry company departed
leaving DR.. and Mrs. Nugent
thoroughly convinced that Nevada
hospitality and friendliness are Of

thoroughly genuine stamp that
makes hearts glad anywhere in

ANOTHER LUCKY FIRE

Elko had another lucky escape
Thursday evening from dis
astrous fire. About 6 o'clock a
fire broke out in Mr.. Colds tailor
shop on the west side of Fifth
street. between the Hay Company's
cold storage plant and the, Home
Bakery. The fire was caused by
the explosion Of small gasoline
stove in the hack room of the shup.
Mr.. Gold used tie stove ia heat
water to steam hats and last even
ing he struck match as usual to
start up the fire when the blaze in
some manner came in contact with
the gasoline. An explosion fol-
lowed end the shop was soon a
mass of flames. Mr.. Gold thinks
that SONG. gasoline must have
leaked from The tank that holds
about quart.
The alarm was given SIS quietly
as possible and it seemed an age
before tie fire boys were on the
groIn.:, hut it was only abJut
three minutes before Hose CON-
pany No. lad a stream on the

had a line Of hose laid from II e
north side of Court street to the
fire, over a block away. All the
fire companies did splendid work
and succeeded in combining the
fire to the tailor shop. The CON-
bined streams from the three
lines of hose soon drowned out the
fire.
Mr.. Gold estimates his loss a,
|
about $1,000. on which there is an
insurance of 5000. The building
belonged to the Hay Company.
and, though the inside is ruined
the loss is fully covered b in
surance. The Hay Company was
also damaged by water flooding
one of their cellars. The Home

water.

ent to extend its thanks to the fire
companies andto all who assisted
in saving his property.

GAN We DISPENSE WITH
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

With the conviction of every
rd1rderer of prominence, the
question of capital punishment is
revived.
Maudlin sentiment finds a cover
of reason by saying, "Let there
be no more official murder, If
the state sets an example in killing
why should it expect citizens not
to follow it,? q
Weak sympathy seeking the
support of weaker reason!
The state guarantees to all its
citizens liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, yet it maintains jails
and penitentiaries wherewith
liberty is taken away altogether
and where the pursuit of happiness
is interrupted by a wall. Yet
should the state tear down all its
prisons in order to be consistent?
Certain persons affect to be
shocked at the brutality Of capital
punishment yet it is no trouble for
them to overlook the brutality Of
the murderer. Fiendish deeds are
forgotten while the fiends them
selves are looked upon in the
light of martyrs. Truly a dis.
torted vision.
Such silly feeling and weak
reasoning encourages murder, and
further puts off the day wheT
capital punishment can be abol.
ished without disastrous results.
1T is conceivable that society
m ay reach such a perfect state
that the gallows, the electric
chair and the guillotine may be
dispensed with and all murderer.
