DREW COUNTY MAN HELD
John L. Beltz Bound Over to Grand Jury
 for Grand Larceny.

John l.. Beltz of Dean, Drew county, charged with having fraud ulently obtained $Iooo from P. M. Stephan, formerly of this county, was held to the Faulkner county grand jury on a charge of grand larceny, after an examlng trial held before Justice of the Peace w. A. Ray in this city Monday.
 Beltz's alleged offense consists in having sold large amount of timber in Drew county to MT. Stephan, which he claimed that he owned. The sale was made in this city and MT. Stephan, it is said, paid him the cash for the timber, amounting to SIooo. On going to the land, near where he has sawmill, MT. Stephan found that Beltz was not the owner of the timber, and he immediately took steps to prosecute him. Beltz was arrested at his home by Constable F.. Clibourn Saturday.
 The defendant was admitted to bail in the sum of SI2oo, which he made.

DROUTH BROKEN SATURDAY
County Visited by Some Fine
 Showers.
Rains Came Too Late for Corn, but Will be of Much Benefit to Cotton
 Weather Much Cooler.

The drouth which, with the ex- ception of a few very light showers has extended in this county for nearly two months, was broken by a splendid shower Saturday afternoon, when over a half-inch of rain tell at this place. Satur- days shower, however, was light in the western part of the county, but another good rain fell Tuesday morning, which was apparently general throughout the central sec tion of the state.
 The past week has not been characterized by the intense heat which marked the previous week, the highest temperature being 99, which was registered on the I4th and 17th. Tuesday was the cool est day, with a maximum of only 94 degrees.
 The rain came too late to be ot much benefit to corn, except that which was planted very late, and the crop of this cereal will be al most failure in this county. It will be of immense benefit to cot ton, however, and has been of great encouragement to our farmers and business men. The crop will be very short, but, with a late frost, will be much better. than was expected week ago.
 The weather observations taken by the government observer, Prof. c. H. Burr, at Conway during the past week, are as follows:

construction alone would yield a great amount of revenue to the community. But there has always been an attendance of from 500 to 500 while the work of building was being done, the great trouble being that buildings cannot be construct ed rapidly enough to accommodate the students who desire to attend.
 Nothing could do more for the upbuilding of Conway than the To- cation of the normal here. l be- lieve that if the normal were lost to Conway today, within thirty days there would be a shrinkage of real estate values here amount ing to SIoo, 900, while if 1t is To- cated here, not only will the pres ent values be maintained, but great increases will be made.
 Pres. $. Anderson also made an enthusiastic speech at the meeting, at the conclusion of which large amount of subscriptions were taken to complete the fund. The com- mittee expects to obtain the addl- tional subscriptions necessary to- day and secure signatures for the notes for subscriptions at once, so that the whole matter may be closed up and the money ready by the end of the week.

STUDENT PRAISES OUR CITY
Cotton School Student Admires
 Conway.
Says People are Hospitable, Enterprising and Progressive, and Morals
 Are Good

James w. Lewis, state president of the Arkansas Farmers Union Warehouse Managers Association, in letter to The Log Cabin Dem ocrat, expresses great admiration of Conway and her people and be- lieves that his views are entertain ed by the entire cotton school which is now closing it's session here. The letter follows
 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 It affords me very great pleasure to express to the good people of your beautiful Queen City my sin cere appreciation of the kindness, hospitality and many favors shown, not only to myself but to the en- tire cotton school, since we have been among them.
 I reached Conway Sunday, Ju- ly I4, and have had opportunity to meet, mix and mingle with both your business men and citizens under various conditions of both public and private life. Being a close observer of people and condi- tions wherever l go, 1 have no hesitancy in saying that the peo- pie of Conway are the most hospi- table, enterprising and progressive of any 1t has ever been my pleas ure to associate with.
 Those two great institutions of learning, Hendrix and Central col leges, and the noble work they are doing has already immortalized the name of this beautiful city of the Sunny South. And the addi- ton of the Arkansas state normal to those will soon place Conway in the first rank as an educational center in the state if not in the en- tire south.
 The great interest that the peo- pie of Conway manifest in public improvements of all kinds is the wonder of all who visit the city. The high degree of morality, the freedom from the accursed inhu- ence of the liquor traffic and other vices so common to other cities and communities is an everlasting monument to the Godfearing peo- pie who compose your citizenship.
 But why should I say more? shall close by saying that l express the sentiment of the entire cotton school when say that our short stay with you will be long remem- bered as one of the greatest pleas ures of life.
 And we fondly hope for the pleasure of another school term in this beautiful Athens of Arkan- sas in 1908.
 Yours truly,

NO GAS IS AT PLUMERv|LLE
Two Wells Dug There to Be
 Abandoned.
Gas and Oil Expert Says That Gas Is Un- likely in This Section, Owing
 to Peculiar Strata.

That a find of gas in paying ing quantities is unlikely any where in the territory between Little Rock and Plumerville is ts the opinion of H. G. Fair, who has sunk a number of prospecting wells in different portions of the state for the Arkansas and Terri torial Oil and Gas Company. Two wells have just been drilled near Plumerville to a depth of over 2ooo feet and only slight traces of gas were found. The drilling machinery is now being moved from that point to Russellville.
 In an interview published in a Little Rock paper Monday MT. Fair says:
 "Now for the probability of nat ural gas being found in paying quantities in the neighborhood of Little Rock. The strata ill this section of the country is such that if there had been natural gas here, it would have leaked out before this this time. Some unnatural cause has forced the strata here so that it runs almost perpendicular. It is impossible to drill very deep in this formation, and then the hole will not be straight. The drill sticks will not go beyond a certain depth.
 We put down two holes near Plumerville, one 225o feet in depth and the other 2o5o feet. Slight traces of gas were found in each, but we could get the drill no deeper for further experimenting. It would be the same thing any where in this section of the coun- try, and l put down one well near Greenwood which had to be stop ped for the same reason. The strata here is the cause of the drillers working two years west of Little Rock and getting no further down than 1900 feet. It is alright for a company of that kind to ex- pertinent along so slowly, but a contracting driller can do none of 1t.
 "Gas will never be found in countries which are not level, or the strata level, so that they may be drilled through and the gas re- tained in natural state without Altering out through the soil.
 Getting bit farther west from Little Rock than Plumerville, the formation of the earth changes and the strata becomes more level. The coal fields are entered near Russell vile and here is where the first gas will be found, is my opinion. l have contracted for the putting down of a we'll near Russellville and I shall be i'll on 1t as soon as my string of tools is shipped there from Plumerville. l also expect to get gas in the we'll there.
 Gas will never be piped to Lit tie Rock from Fort Smith as the distance is too great to make T pay. Gas will be found a great deal closer to Little Rock than Fort Smith and I hope to prove this by the Rnssellville well. If we find gas there it will be piped to Little Rock and the city supplied with cheap fuel. "

ANNOUNCEMENT IS CONFIRMED
Geo. W. Donaghey in Race for
 Governor.
Formal Announcement to Appear within Short Time-Friends are Glad he
 is Candidate.

George w. Donaghey, on his re- turn to Conway Monday, confirm ed the announcement which had already been made, that he would be a candidate for governor of Arkansas before the next Demo- cratic primaries.
 MT. and Mrs. Donaghey accom- panied the committee.of the state normal board on their trip of in- spection last week and also visited the Jamestown exposition for short time.
 "Yes, 1 will be a candidate, '' said MT. Donaghey, but I am not yet quite ready to make my formal announcement. I want to put in the remainder of this week in help- ing the people of Conway to close up the normal proposition, and af- ter that time shall begin to lay plans for my campaign.
 The announcement last week that MT. Donaghey would be candidate for governor oCcasioned much pleasure among his friends in the state. Several have already written him congratulating him on his candidacy and favorable com ments have appeared in several of the country newspapers.

Col. Geo. w. Donaghey for Governor.

Col. Geo. w. D0naghey TOT governor.
 It affords the Independent great pleasure to inform its readers that Honest Geo. w. Donaghey has yielded to the importantly of his friends throughout the state and consented to make the race for governor to succeed Gov. J. $. Little. MT. Donaghey is one of our states most honorable citizens, and wherever he is known his name is synonym for honesty and fair ness. While he is now citizen of Conway, Faulkner county, we are proud of the fact that he was once citizen of Carlisle. He is just such man as we are proud to point to as having once lived among US. It is not to his discredit that he has gone from a Day Lahore" to a man of affairs. Really it is just such men that we delight to hon. or. Let the people of Arkansas re- member how nobly he has stood by them and how much he has saved them by the honest eye he has kept on those vandals, Caldwell and Drake.
 Let the honest yeomanry and all who desire to see a man of clean life placed at the head of the ticket rally to the standard of Honest George Donaghey.-Carlisle Inde- pendent.
