Magazine One of these buttons
sounds what is known as the crank
bell" When that bell rings 1t is sup

comforting with Assistant Secretary
Charles II. Keep, chairman Of the
Keep Commission" and Controller
Tracewell, whose duty It Is to pare
down public expenditure to the
bone. The conference was one in
which Secretary Shaw failed to be-
como interested, and he showed his
impatience by shifting around In his
chair and playing imaginary tunes
on the electric buttons. Accidentally
or otherwise he touched the crank
button" A minute later the captain
of the watch and two of the watch
force rushed into the secretary's
room all heavily armed. When the
captain Of the watch explained his
presence Dy Saying tndI lHe Cidhh
alarm had been sounded Secretary
Shaw looked first at Assistant Sec

Tracewell. These two officials could
not grasp the humor Of the situation,
but Secretary Shaw lay back In his
chair and roared with laughter,
while Mr.. Keep and Judge Trace
well hurriedly left the room, won

over three hundred, affords excel lent opportunities for primary edu- cation.
 "The liberal donation of S55, 900 to secure the location of Hendrix, and of $50, 900 to secure the Bap- tist Female College, now completed and in successful operation, show the real spirit of Conway's citizens, and indicate their appreciation of higher education and their determi- nation to secure its benefits. Thus the people are thoroughly identl- fled with the College, and will give hearty welcome to all who come among them in the same spirit. During the last ten years many substantial improvements have been made, clearly proving that Con- way is fast becoming an ideal col lege town. After ten years ob- servation, Trustees, Faculty, and students of Hendrix College are highly pleased with the new To- cation. '
 Certainly no one would accuse Dr Mi1lar Of the fault of exappera- tion and yet, to read the above, a lifelong citizen of Conway will see more clearly the splendid advan- tages of his little city and ap- preciate more fully his citizenship here.
 And the fact that only five or six years ago, Dr. Millar was con- vinced that Conway is fast becom- ing an ideal college town is one which we would fasten upon the minds of the normal board. For surely if Conway has offered the largest bonus; if Conway "is by nature one of the most beautiful and healthful towns in the state, " if Conway's "moral and religious influences are good"-surely, if with all these advantages and the additional fact that Conway is an ideal college town, neither Dr. Millar nor any other citizen of the state could object if the board de- cides to locate the Arkansas state normal school at Conway.

The city of Little Rock is awake on commercial lines; but not enough so on things that make for soul culture. It seems hard to interest our people in college project. Our Presbyterian friends have been planning the building of a college here; but it seems to us that lethargic indeed has been the support given them. Conway, Benton, Fort Smith, Russellville and Quitman put US to shame ln their zeal for the new state normal to be located in their towns. And still Little Rock ought to be the seat of a great university. We are sorry to see fifteen cents shows and skating rinks absorbing more of our attention.-Baptist Ad- vance.

DR. MILLAR ON CONWAY.

With the highest cash bid, the choice of several beautiful sites and the recommendation of Dr. A. C. Millar, Conway, in seeking the To- cation of the state normal school, is willing to lay her case before the board, feeling assured that the great institution will not be placed elsewhere except within her bor- ders.
 Dr. Millar is throwing the pow erful weight of his intellect and in- huence to secure the normal for Benton. That the influence of his strong personality is one of the principal factors which Conway has to overcome will be readily admitted.
 But Dr. Millar was once presi- dent of Hendrix College, posi- tion which he honored for fifteen years. Learning during that time the many and varied advantages of Conway, he naturally became a great admirer of our little city. And it was but natural that, in preparing the catalogue for the col lege, he should include some of the good things about Conway that appealed to him most forcibly. The presentation of our advantages was so admirably made in this cat alogue that, as has already been stated, the Board of Trade, in pre- pairing small folder, could find nothing better than few excerpts from Dr. Millar's testimonial. But the Board of Trade folder could not, in its limited space, contain more than one-fourth of Dr. Mil lars description of the city, and, for the benefit of those who have never read it, we herewith append a clipping from the Hendrix Col lege catalogue of Iooo-oI, prepared by Dr. Millar
 Conway is thriving town of I75o inhabitants, and is situated on the Little Rock & Fort Smith railroad, thirty miles from Little Rock. It is only seven miles from the geographical center of the State, and fifteen miles from the point where.-the three patronizing Conferences corner.
 Being one mile south of a range of the Ozark Mountains, on the edge of high rolling prairie, in an open grove of magnificent oaks, it is, by nature, one of the most beautiful and healthful towns i'll the State. It is seven miles from the Arkansas River, and there are neither swamps nor sluggish streams for many miles around. The surface slopes sufficiently for good drainage; and, since the soil is full of sand and gravel, and is underlaid with slate, standing water is unknown.
 Being south of the mountains, Conway is subject neither to rig orous winters nor sudden climatic changes, so injurious to delicate constitutions, and yet its altitude precludes malarial influences and the fresh prairie breezes prevent the facilitating effects resulting from heat in places less favorably situated, though in higher alti- tudes.
 "The moral and religious in- huences are good. By special act of the Legislature the sale of in- toxicants is prohibited within a radius of ten miles. There are five church houses, Southern Metho- dist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Luther an, and Roman Catholic, and sev- eral other denominations have small organizations.
