HANDS OF Law

Grand Forks. N. D., Sept. 18.-
George Mcdonald was arrested Tues
day evening by Officer Duggan and
placed in the county Jail on a charge
of vagrancy. He was suspected of
the theft of a coat and vest from the
Salvation Army hall, but the coat was
found later and a larceny charge was
not brought.
According to advices from Bis
mark and other places, Mcdonald
has a bad record. It is said that he is
48 years of age and has served half
of his life, or twenty-four years, in
penitentiaries in North Dakota, Still
water, Mimi, and South Dakota. He
gave the name of Edward Weber
and had been arrested here on vag-,
rancy charge twice before. In each
case sentence was suspended by Judge
J. r. Church on the condition that
he leave the city. Mcdonald claims
that he has been in the city only ten
days, but the police state that they
have been trying to rid the city of
him for several weeks.
Mcdonald, alias Weber refuses
to talk concerning his past and will
neither affirm Or deny that he spent
time in the state penitentiaryy at Bis.
marck. Desk Sergeant, Thomas Gray
of the local police force yesterday
stated that he knew the man, when
he was the deputy warden at the
penitentiary and that he served one
year and a half at that time, as he
remembers, on the charge of larceny.
Gray also states that he had also
served another term at Bismarck a
number of years ago. The police
have been keeping a close watch on
Mcdonald since he has been in the
city, but hoped to have him sent out
Of the state.
The Salvation Army officials did
not wish to press the charge of lar
.ceny against Mcdonald. as they were
not certain that he stole the coat and
vest and they recovered the property
later on.

TAKING ADVANTAGE
 OF HIGHWAY ACT
Twenty Communities Over State Form Improvement Districts
 For Good Roads.

Little Rock, Aug. S.-Some twenty communities over the state have started movements to create improve ment districts for the purpose of building good roads under the State Highway act, but though this act has been in force for several months, not a single district is yet ;n readiness for work. Some of the districts have expired before the promoters cir culated the petitions among the prop erty owners. Others have the sigma ture of a majority of the property owners. Others have the signature of a majority of the property value of the district and are now in court for the approval of that tribunal. It takes eight weeks for the court pro- ceedings to be completed, so this is causing the delay in many sections.
 It is supposed that the highway district, including the road from Paragould to Hopkins Bridge in Greene county. will be the first to be ready for active work. Commissioner c. W. Highfill is il personal charge of the papers in this district, and will push it through.

CHARITIES BOARD TO MEET

Little Rock, Aug. s.-The State Board of Charities will next month start a generals movement for b>trer stock at the State instNutioEs, or no stock at all. Thes4daily herd at the Confederate S6Aters' Home will be sold and fegisteffed stock, probably Holsteins, will be purchased in it's stead. If this is not done contract will be made for the purchase of milk for the institution, as is done at the insans asylum, the blind school and deaf mute institute.
 Several years ago the Board sold the dairy herd at the state hospital, be- cause it was infected with tubercu- losis. There is nothing of that kind at the Confederate Home, but the Board desires a strain of stock that will produce results in the way of milk z
 The Board will also purchase auto mobiles for the different institutions, expecting thereby to greatly increase the service of the various departments through the saving of time in the trips to and from the city.

Little Rock, Aug S.-Though re- ports have been coming to Little Rock for weeks about the excellent condi- tion of the crops, the reports of the past few days, and the damage being done by the hot winds, is alarming A cotton expert from one of the local mills, spent Wednesday in Clark county, and brings back the report that he visited sections where the wind had reduced the crop fifty per cent, by drying up the stalk. As the hot winds are such recent thing, reports as to the extent of the dam age have not yet had time to reach Little Rock, but it is feared they will cause a material reduction in the condition of the best cotton prospect the state ever had.

VOLLEY BALL TEAMS.

Capt. N. A. Waldron. of the after noon business mems class of the Y. M. c. A., has challenged Capt. Felix Smart. of the night class at the same institution. to a series of games of volley ball to determine the local championship.
 Quite a good natured rivalry has sprang up between the members of each team, and practice games are now held semi-weekly. The members of both classes find the gymnasium and the pool at the local "Y" very in- teresting these hot afternoons and nights. and gather there in large numbers.
 There are enough members in each class to compose two or more teams and it is likely that a first, second and third team will be organized in both the afternoon and night classes and that games will be played weekly or semi-weekly during the summer.

REPAIRING THE CAPITOL

Little Rock, Aug. S.-Work in re- pairing or completing the roof Of tho State Capitol was commenced Thurs day afternoon. There have been some leaks ill the roof, even though it is six inches thick, and there is asphalt filler underneath the tiling, and above the concrete This is due to the fail- uer of the Capitol Commission to have copper sheeting placed around the dome, due to a lack of appropria- tion. The water, in heavy rain, would ill some manner get through the roof. The superintendent of the Capitol has in vain looked for the leaks for months, but no matter how much water was poured on the roof, it would not leak through. It is sup posed the driving force of the rains. forced the water under the stone of tine dome, and the copper sheathing is expected to put an end to this.
