LEE HARRIS MADE ESCAPE
Faulkner County Boy Got Away From
 Reform School Monday.

Lee Harris, the Mt. Vernon boy who was taken to the penitentiary July 26 to serve a seven-year sen tence for an assault upon young girl in his neighborhood, and was transferred last week to the reform school, made his escape from the latter institution Monday morning. He got away along with three other boys in the excitement fol- lowing an injury to another boy, who fell from telephone pole.
 Officers were immediately notifi- ed and put on track of the fugutive. Tuesday night he was chased to Menifee, having made his way on foot along the river to that point, and the officers were at one time within two miles of him. Up to late yesterday afternoon no word had been received from his pur- suers, but 1t was thought that his capture would be effected before the close of the day.

NEW TRAIN CARRIES MAIL
Pouch Service Has Been Installed on Ac-
 commodation Recently Put on.

On last Friday the new Russell ville-Little Rock accommodation train, which was put in service Ju- ly 28, began to carry mail. No regular mail car has yet been in- stalled, but pouches are carried and exchanged with all of the principal points along the line. This is a great convenience es- pecially to the people of Conway, as 1t enables them to write letters to Little Rock Ill the morning and receive answers the same afternoon. The train arrives here from Little Rock at CHS p. m., and at present only the letter mail is distributed at the local postoffice. Postmaster o. J. Owen, however, is going to make an effort to have all of the mail for Conway, both local and from distant points, sent up on the accommodation train, and if this is done, he will distribute 1t in the boxes and open the general de- livery window for few minutes after the arrival of the train.
 The suggestion has been made that everyone who desires the new train to continue should buy tick cts at the station instead of paying cash fares. It is said that the rail- way company is anxious to make a showing that this train does not pay expenses, in order that the law requiring it to be put on may be defeated in the courts, and the only records of its traffic that will brought to the courts will be the number of tickets sold for this train at the local stations.

GREAT REVIVAL IN PROGRESS
Over 100 Conversions at Meth
 odist Meeting.
Third Week of Daily Services Held in Tent Shows No Diminution of
 Interest.

Conway is enjoying perhaps the greatest revival of religion in its history says Rev. J. B. Stew enson, pastor of the Methodist church, who is in charge ot the meeting. He and his wide awake official board secured the help of the distinguished evangelist, Rev. Jno. B. Andrews, and his singer, Prof. Phillips. The meeting was begun Sunday, July 2I, ln the church and removed to large tent erected on the Presbyterian lot, The tent has been thronged night after night.
 More than a hundred people have professed conversion,' says Rev. Stevenson, and the work still goes on. The service to men only Sunday was one of the great est in the meeting. Eleven men were converted and the large crowd of men were stirred as never before and many were the resolves form ed for a better and cleaner life.
 'Mr. Andrews has preached with great force and acceptability. Prof. Phillips has had a large choir of about one hundred voices led by the organ and two pianos. The music has added much to the in terest of the meeting.
 "Rev. Andrews and his assistant left for Texas Monday, but the meeting led by the pastor and Rev. w. T. Thompson is still going on.' There were eleven conversions on the first night after MT. Andrews left and the Christian people are working faithfully together. Rev. C. H. Maury of the Presbyterian church has rendered valuable help in the meeting. All the churches of the town will be strengthened by the meeting as the services have not been on sectarian lines. One feature which commends itself to many people is that there is abso- lulely no effort to influence any one to join any particular denomi- nation, but each one Is urged to join at once tue church of his choice. Many have already given their names for membership in the various churches.

When this IS done you will see less idleness, you will see old dilapidated homes fix ed up, you will see less grass in the fields, less old shackeled fences; see more of the young men and boys at church Sunday, less broken fingers and sore shins.

CHRISTIAN REVIVAL CLOSES
Thirteen Additions to the Local Church as
 the Result of the Meeting.

The revival at the Church of Christ this city closed Sunday night. There were fourteen ser mons preached and thirteen addi- tions 10 the local congregation, and the brethren are greatly strength ened and encouraged. This church began it's work in Conway less than three years ago in the front room of Clarence Dawson's resi- dence with just three in attend ance and now has membership of forty, own nice building and are but little in debt. Those of us who have been laboring in this cause feel that we have received an abundant harvest for our labors. We invite visiting brethren to meet with us when in town. The meeting hour is 10 a. m. each Lords day.

JURY's REPORT
|. I. Russell of Austin Endorses Grand
 Jurv,s Position on Baseball.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat;
 Seeing the report of the grand .iurv of Faulkner county, was inn Dressed to write few lines ot com smendation. It IS so seldom that we have a grand jury ot all chris tian men. l must compliment them on the baseball recommend ation. Baseball playing IS the greatest evil of today. All It IS doing and will do is to lead the rising generation from obedience to parents, from industrious hab- its at home and at school, from church, Sunday school and all re- ligious gatherings. :, If you will visit neighborhood where they meet regularly and play baseball you will find a ma jority of their homes dilapidated, the fences shackeled, the fence corners grown up with brlars and bushes; find no stovewood at the
 woodpile, and you will ind the
 crops about ten days behind the
 grass and weeds and it generally
 remains that way until frost sets
 them even. If this evil habit goes
 on few more years it will even
 up with any gambling Ill the
 state.
 MT. Editor, I am surprised al a, 7 your editorial in regard to baseball
 ,4laying. Take vacation, get out
 in the rural districts, look at the
 crops, go to the churches, Sunday
 schools, and see the effect o1 tnal
 game called baseball. l hope you

REID WILL RUN AGAIN
Fifth District Congressman Not Candi-
 date for Governor.

Hon c. C. Reid of Morrilton, congressman from the Fifth dis trict, who was here yesterday, stat ed he would announce his candi- dacy for reelection in short time, and thus set aside all rumors to the effect that he might be can didate for governor. MT. Reid states that he has no idea of mak- ing the race for governor and that he believes he can do the people of Arkansas more good by going back to Congress than he can pos sibly do by trying to make the race for the Democratic nQmina- ton for chief executive of the state.
 He says he still has much work to do at Washington, and at the proper time will submit his name to the Democratic voters. Gazette, August 6.
