Arkansas May Adopt State Flag.

Little Rock, Feb. 14.-Arkansas has state flag, or will have, if the legislature endorses the suggestion of committee of awards which se- lected design for one at a meeting in the office of secretary of state Thursday. About 60 designs were submitted, most of them from the state, and the design designated by Miss Willie K. Hooker of Pine Bluff was accepted. The members of the jury of awards making the selec- ton consisted of Mrs. Jo Erauen- thai of Conway, George B. Rose of Little Rock, J. J. Doyne of Conway, Mrs. P. H. Ellsworth of Hot Springs, Mrs. Julia Noel of Pine Bluff and Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges,

GOVERNOR RETURNS.
 TO STATE CAPITAL.
Robinson Back From Washington, Accompanied by United States Senator kavanaugh-Plan
 to Settle Claims.

Little Rock, Feb. 14.-Senator w. NJ. Kavanaugh and Governor Joe T. Robinson returned to Little Rock this morning from Washington. Senator Kavanaugh comes to look after the interests of the Gleason estate, for which ,he is trustee, to determine how the partially de- stroyed building should be rebuilt, and Governor Robinson to take up affairs of state.
 Plan to Settle Claim.
 There has been placed in the hands of Senator Jacobson a bill to provide a way for settlement be- tween the state and Caldwell X Drake, the Supreme court being ar bitrator. The bill will ask that the contractors be given the right to enter suit against the state and set tie the matter before an arbitration board which has not been selected by either side, so far as the per sOnnel goes, and one upon which both sides impose the fullest of con- iidence.
 We will abide by the decision of the Supreme court" stated George W. Caldwell Thursday afternoon, for we are confident it will give us a square deal. If we owe the state anything we will find some way to pay up, and if the state owes us, we will expect it to do the same. Of course we think we are entitled to more than we ask, but we only ask a square deal, and we know we will get 1t at the hands of the highest court in Arkansas, and I cannot see how those who have opposed our claims all along can object to sub hitting the matter to it."
 The bill will probably be intro- duced Monday, which is the next day for introduction of senate bills.
 Newspapers Win Fight.
 The house judiciary committee today reported to the house of rep feSentatlVeS that the bill providing for the publication of initiative and referendum measures in pamphlet form do not pass.
 This action was decided upon last night by a meeting of the commit tee after J. H. Hand, president; P. L. Pound, secretary, A. D. Murlin of Little Rock, J. L. Wadley of Tex arkana, J. R. Newman of Harrison, V. w. St. John of Mena and A. NJ. Ward of Glarksville. of the Arkansas Press Association had appeared be- fore the committee.
 The bill was finally disposed of in the house this afternoon at 2::30 o'clock, when it was tabled.

have been thrown into jail and fined heavily for contempt by the court. The court in it's opinion has cited the numerous dynamite outrages and the like that have occurred, as iustifying their action. No more extraordinary plea was ever made. I yield to no man in the horror l feel for the anarchists and for all other criminals who do murder, whether by dynamite or Tn any other fashion.
 But the damage they do, though great, is by no means as great 10 the cause of law and order as is that done by q decision such as the decision in question:; and no anar- Chist ever can or ever will hurt the courts as they are hurt by such ac- tion as this of the highest court of the state of Idaho. Remember tnat if the position of the Idaho court in it's critics for contempt is proper, then Abraham Lincoln should have been jailed and fined for his words about the Supreme court of the United States in con- nection with the Dred Scott deci- sion."
 Substituting the word Progress i've" for Republican" in a letter written by Lincoln-the substitu- tion being, Col. Roosevelt said, only that of the name of the progressive party of today for the progressive party of Lincoln's time-Col. Roose- welt read the letter, as follows:
 "'As to the matter of fusion, I am for it if it can be had on progress i've grounds; and I am not for it on any other terms. A fusion on any other terms would be as fool ish, as unprincipled. It would lose the whole (of what we have), while the common enemy would still car ry Gall the vote that is hostile to use). The question of men is a different one. There are good, pa triotic men and able statesmen Gin this territory opposed to us) whom I would cheerfully support if they would not place themselves on (progressive) grounds, but I am against letting down the (progress- ive) standard a hairsbreadth.'
 What Lincoln then said as to platform principles, men and meth ods, applies exactly to all attempts to fuse or amalgamate the pro- gressives with any other party in our own days"

Old AHe.

Old age, as it comes in the order Iy process of nature, is a beautiful and majestic thing. It stands for experience, knowledge, wisdom, counsel. That is old age as it should be, but old age as it often is means poor digestion, torpid bowels a sluggish liver and a general feeling of ill health, despondency and mis- cry. This in almost every instance IS wholly unnecessary. One of Chambelrains Tablets taken imme- diately after supper will improve the digestion, tone up the liver and regulate the bowels. That feeling of despOndency will give way to one of hope and good cheer. For sale by all dealers.

MONEY COMES SLOWLY
 FOR SCOTT MONUMENT
Response of People Is Cause of Chagrin to Sponsors for Ex-
 plOPeP'S Memorial.

London, Feb. l6.-The slowness of the British public in subscribing to the funds being raised for a me- mOrial to Capt. Robert F. Scott and his comrades who died on the ex- pedition to the south pole, is caus- ing much chagrin. Only about Si0,- GOO has thus far been collected, in spite of the urgent appeals of the entire press.
 The dilatoriness of the public re- sp0nse is attributed to the multi plicity of the sources of collection, which in many cases overlap.

A Correct Watch and
 Good Work

Some one has said that If you keep in a good humor un- til ten o'clock in the morning that you will be cheerful and happy all day.
 Likewise the man who is on time until ten o'clock in the morning is pretty sure to be on time throughout the day. Mo-. thing will help you toward success so much as an accurate watch. Nothing will hinder you so much as one too fast or too slow. If your watch needs repairing or regulating, and all watches do at least once a year, bring it to us, the charge is nothing compared to the satisfaction it means to you and the time it saves.

GALLONS GIVE WAY
 TO ELECTRIC CHAIR
With Governors Signature to Bill, Death Chamber Will Be Equip ped at Pcnitentiary-PrOceed-
 ingS in House Saturday.

Little Rock, Feb. l6.-Governor Robinson yesterday signed the bill which substitutes elcctrOcutiun for hanging, and as soon as a death chamber is erected and equipped at the penitentiary, legal hanging will be abolished in Arkansas.
 This bill was submitted by Ragon of Johnson and kidder of Pulaski, and MT. Kidder was present when the bill was signed by the governor.
 The bill carries an appropriation for the construction of a death chamber inside the penitentiary walls, together with an electric chair and electric equipment.
 In the future all criminals sen fenced to death will be electrocuted at the penitentiary instead of being hanged in the county where crime was committed. The prosecuting attorneys and sheriffs of the state favored the bill.
 In the House Saturday.
 The house Saturday refused to reconsider the bill by Senator Greenhouse, affecting the printing of measures submitted under the initi- alive and referendum, by voting down a motion to take the bill from the table.
 The house judiciary committee reported favorably on the bill pro- viding for re-digesting the statutes and appropriated $25,000 for the work.
 The bill by Davis of Lafayette, cyQIiring public service corpora uons to lay wires and mains to property was reported ad- yersely by the committee on cOrpo- rations, as was the Sulcer bill re- quiring railroads to stop passenger trains at all junction points.
 Joseph's bill creating the Miller county bridge district for a free bridge over Red river at Fulton, was passed by the house.
 Representative Newton introduced a bill providing for the meeting of members of the Supreme court circuit judges and chancellors bi- not earlier than six months prior to the meeting of each legis- lature, to suggest correction in the laws and needed legislation.
 During the day more than 25 To- cal bills were introduced, despite the fact that only three weeks more Of the session remains.
 The senate was not in session to- day.

ChiIdren's Exercises

Ralley day exercises were held
at the Methodist church last Sun
day evening. The church was
crowded and as many more stood
on the outside who could not en-
ter.
The manner in which the chill
dren acquitted themselves, going
through the program without a
blunder, was a delight to the audi,
ence and credit to their trainers,
who had so short time in which
to prepare them for the occasion.
The singing by the choir was
much enjoyed by all.
For the success Of the program,
and the pleasure of the evening,
we are indebted to the faithful
work of Miss Luster, on whom
rested the greater burden and
responsibility, and Miss Jean
Whitaker, also Mrs. r. G. Walls,
who trained for the recitations.
Miss Luster, who is one of the
teachers of the High School, has
demonstrated her ability and
tact IN training and instructing
children.
Mrs. r. G. Walls, who is in
structor in music, art, elocution
and expression at the Wallis ac-
ademy, deserves the patronage OF
our citizens. --CTD.

The council took up the matter
of delinquent taxes ut its special
meeting Wednesday evening and
instructed the city attorney to en-
force payment by any legal means
provided by the ordinances. Out
of over FIVE thousand dollars of
assessed taxes for 1912 less than
six hundred are delinquent, and
most of the delinquencies arrive
through neglect and oversight.
The city attorney has not only
caused notice to be printed in the
paper but has senta lie tier to each
person in arrears giving the
amount of tax. This required
some work and postage as there
are upwards of $50 items. Some
Of the younger men have declined
to pay the merely nominal amount
assessed to them, but they should
take pride in contributing their
small portion to the keeping up OF
the city government.

Jas. f. Corbett, proprietor of
of the Punta Gorda Hardware Co.,
sustains the heaviest loss-a con-
siderable part of the stock burned
and balance badly damaged. DR..
E. E. WEIGH of Eaton, Ohio, is a
heavy loser, as he was owner of
the burned buildings; and he also
owns the concrete building that
was damaged, M. p. Youmans
sustained the loss of the greater
part of the fixtures, and all the
tools and supplies in his barber
shop; the Messrs. Paige, employed
as BARRIERS by Youmans, also sus-
tanned the loss of some valuable
tools. j. r. Hurton had his
bowling alley burned, and the
pool tables were damaged. G.
McGehee's pressing club equip
ment was all burned, as we'll as a
considerable amount Of clothing.
These various business men,
however, have already arranged,
or are making arrangements to re-
sumo business in temporary quar-
tiers. They hope to soon be in a
position to again serve their pat
rons as heretofore. 1t has been a
severe blow to all, but they are
men of sufficient pluck and de-
termination to overcome it.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
OLD WEIGH BLOCK BURNED
Business Men Suffer Heavy Loss
Flames Started From a
Light Generator

What was known as the old
Welch block, warehouse, and
several smaller structures in the
vicinity, were destroyed by fire
here late Monday afternoon; and
the two-story concrete building,
occupied by the Punta Gorda
Hardware Company,..was greatly
damaged; the j. Freeman brick
building nearby being also slightly
damaged.
The fire started from a gasolene
light generator in a pressing es-
tablishment in the rear part of the
room occupied by Youman's bar
Der shop, and while it ragged FOR
not over two hours, the resultant
loss was estimated at first between
eighteen and twenty thousand
but later aud more reliable esti-
mates place it at twelve to fifteen
thousand dollars, none of which is
covered by insurance.
1t was only by heroic and per-
sistent work that the further
spread of the flames was prevent
ed, for thelcity pumping station is
temporarily out of order, and con-
siderable time elapsed before hose
connection was made with the
pumps at the Ppnta Gorda Ice
Company's factory and at Hotrl
Punta Gorda.
Men andSboys, both white and
colored took part in the work;
and considering the disadvantage
at which all labored, it is remark
able that the fire was brought un-
der control as quickly as it was.
Credit is certainly due everyone
who had hand in the work, even
to the small boys who were faith,
ful in carrying water in buckets.
There were many at hand will
ling to aid in any way, but it was
possible for only certain number
to work together effectively fight
ing the flames. Others, however
aided in carrying goods and fix
lures out of the burning buildings
Many ladies helped in this latter
work, assisting in handling some
of the goods carried out of the
hardware store. This shows thai
commendable disposition, char
acteristic Of Punta Gorda people
to render assistance in time 0.
