Like an April shower, without warn ing, came the first test on the Cald- we'll & Drake proposition, which had been expected for some time, and in it the representatives of the capitol commission triumphed. It cannot be really considered test vote, how ever, for upon the opposition side were a number of senators who have always fought Caldwell 6 Drake appropria- tion, while there were senators on the commission side who are expected to faver an appropriation to pay some thing to the deposed contractors.
 The issue was brought about by Sen ator Raney, who rendered a bill mak- ing an appropriation of $7,975.75 to pay an account to the Pfeifer Stone Company of Batesville, for stone fur nished about six years ago to Cald- well &s Drake. Senator Raney an- nounced he was in no way responsi- ble for the bill, that it had been pre- pared and handed to him, and that he had no knowledge regarding the au- thenticity of the account, merely in- troducing it in order that committee could make an investigation and de- termine whether or not the state owed anything to the Pfeifer Company.
 Senator John Ike Moore, of Phillips county, who is a member of the state capitol commission, made a motion that the further consideration of the bill be indefinitely postponed. Sena- tor Coyington moved to table this mo- ton. Then came the freshet which permitted the flood of oratory to wash away the gates.
