HOUSE ALSO REFUSES
TO ISSUE BONDS

Little Rock, March 1.-Two i'm
portant bills were introduced in the
senate late Thursday afternoon, one
by Senator White, appropriating $3.50
to purchase a loving cup for Miss
Willie K. Hooker of Pine Bluff, the
designer of the state flag. Senators
Lundy, Phillips and CarlLee are
named on the committee to make the
purchase and deliver the cup. The
bill by Senator Covington would
transfer all money in the state capitol
fund, with the exception Of $4,000,
to the general revenue fund. This
bill was introduced as privileged
one, under the guise that it was an
bill, but was read only
once.

COYINCTON LOSES A
hat IN A WAGER

Little Rock, March 7-Senator
Hughes is triumphant over Senator
Covington in a clash on the bill intro
duced by the senator from Drew to
regulate the practice of optomery in
Arkansas. This bill was introduced
early in the session by Senator
Hughes, and tabled. Senator Coving-
ton was its chief opponent. This did
not bother Senator Hughes. for he
watched his tiIaa and slipped in a SEC
cnd bill. Later he wagered a hat
with Senator Covington he would
have it made special order ftsr
Thursday, which he succeeded in do
ing by catching the senator from
johnson off his guard. When the bill
came up Thursday Senator Covington
made long speech against it, and
Senator Hughes spoke very briefly
asking the senate to pass his meas
ure, which it did For several min
utes, Senator Haghes held celebra-

LIQUOR men ARE
WHOLLY DISCOURAGED

Little Rock, March 6.-The liquor
forces are about as near discouraged
as it is possible for them to be, over
the repeated assaults of the anti
liquor members of the senate, and it
now begins to look as if Arkansas will
be dry for a year at least, and the
liquor men will no doubt follow out
their intention of making the state
really dry in order to swing the pend
ulum back in their favor. 1t has been
intimated that the anti-liquor agita-
ton was started by politicians who
did not receive the support of the
liquor interests, and this contention
has been borne out by the repeated
activity from certain sources.
The results accomplished for prohi-
bition in this session of the legisla-
ture are quite different to former ses-
sions, and the comparison does not
heap renown upon the head of the re-
former. In past sessions the prohibi-
ton lobbyists have been thick, and
nothing was accomplished. This ses-
sion there have been no lobbyists for
prohibition, and the legislature has
voted the state dry.

HOUSE HAS BOND
issue MEASURE

Little Rock, March 6.-The joint
finance committee is making strong
effort to secure the passage OF a bond
issue bill, and the indications are that
it will pass the house. A similar bill
in most respects was this week de-
feated in the senate, but House Chair
man Newton feels confident that the
senate will pass the bill introduced by
him Wednesday. if the house will pass
it. The friends of the measure are
insisting that it is the only way by
which the present financial difficulties
can be solved, and have been voting
down all amendments on the ground
that they are diliatory and would kill
the bill. Mr. Sawyer of Garland has
been one of the ableSt advocates of
the bill, while Judge Sain has opposed
it with all the vigor at his command,
declaring that there is at least one
member of the house who will never
vote for a bond issue, land that is j.
G.. Sain of Howard county, who was
elected by the vote of the honest
farmers who object to having mort
cages saddled upon them to pay the
debts of the administration"

BILL TO DEFEAT MINE

Little Rock, March 6.-The manag-

mine-run coal bill have about given up
the fight, though they are still on the
ground and will remain until the close
of the session. They believe they will
yet get their bill, which has passed

such an arrangement several days ago

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
81 have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak tIat l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and 1t seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health my digestion is
much stronger, and / have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vinol
is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned if it does not help you.

Little Rock, March 6.-The house
in committee of the whole spent the
greater part of the time Wednesday
afternoon in whiting down the ap-
preparation for the running of the
state government When the commit
tee arose, the decrease amounted to

Mr.. Newton contributed to the reduc-
ton. Among the items cut out are

three clerks in the land office and two
clerks out of the railroad commission
and the agricultural department for
two years, but these were voted down.

Little Rock, March THE indica-

interview appears in the Mammoth
Spring Democrat, as follows:

point, could not at all afford to ac-
cept it, but believing that this great

body of the people of the state, and

HOUSE PASSES
APPROPRIATION
NOW READY FOR SENATE
APPROPRIATION FOR BOARD
OF HEALTH NOT INCCLUD-
ED IN MEASURE.

little Rock, March THE general
appropriation has finally been passed
by the house, and is ready for the
senate to operate on it. The net re-
duction was not large as compared
with the deficit which the economists
are endeavoring to meet. The most
notable action of the house Thursday
was to refuse to make any appropria-
ton whatever for the State Board of
Health, which was recently created by
the legislature.
The committee on ways and means
offered to amend the original bill by
providing $24,74O for the support and
maintenance of the board, but Davis
of Lafayette moved to reject on the
ground that the state is already deep
in debt and has no money to give the
hoard, and his motion prevailed. A
separate bill will be introduced, but
the temperament of majority of the
legislature appears opposed to it.
The departments had asked for
1871 ,876. The ways and means COM
mittee recommended S695,44S The
house. in committee of the whole, cut
this down to 1851, 449. Then the house
adopted it at S6s7,34S, having restor-
ed the rate clerk to the Railroad Com
mission and one clerk for the land Of

LABOR IN BOSNIA

A report received from sarajewo
reads as follows. A short time ago we
stated that in accordance with spe-
cial proclamation made in Bosnia on
May Bird, the whole of the trade I'M
ions were disbanded and the Trade
Union Temple turned into a barracks.
Upon the danger of war disappearing,
eonsequet upon the arrival of the
troops of the great powers, the inter
dict upon the trad eunions was taken
off, but thel aIbor movement remained
under same. Upon that ban being re-
moved, the trade unions were not al
lowed to take up exactly the same
stand as before, but were informed
that if they wished to continue to ex-
ist, they must formulate new rules.
After much quibbling the leaders of
thed issolved unions were allowed to
temporarily carry on their unions un-
til same were reorganized. Their
eonfiscated funds were handed back.
