BATHS TO APPEAR AGAIN.
Dickens Impersonator Recalled for En-
 gagement at Hendrix Saturday.

William Sterling Battis, the inn personator of Dickens characters, who opened the Hendrix lecture course, made such hit here that he has been recalled for another engagement, and will appear at the Hendrix auditorium under the aus pices of the Browning society next Saturday night.
 Mir. Battis is unquestionably a genius in his line, and as a rapid change artist he is said to be un surpassed on the American plat form. His program the other eve ming consisted Of impersonating thirteen of Dickens characters and each was given in a most happy style. So general was the demand for another engagement that the Browning literary society, compos- ed of young ladies of Hendrix, se- cured him for another attraction before he leaves the state.
 Saturday night he will devote the evening to an impersonation of Dickens best known novel Mich olas Nickleby." MT. Battis has dramatized this great story, pre- senting it in monologue. He i'm personates all the characters, and in manner that makes one forget there is but one person on the stage. The drama is keenly alive with in terest and bristles with sparks of humOr.

FARMERS ARE HOLDING COTTON
Many Waiting for Increase in
 Price.
Less than Half the Number Of Bales Mark. eted in Conway to Date as Com-
 pared with Last Year.

Up to yesterday the number of bales of cotton marketed in Con- way this season was less than half the number received to the same date last year. In addition to the fact that the crop is unusually short, the farmers are holding the cotton in large quantities for an increase in the price. There are said to be over 100 bales at one country gin near Conway and con- siderable numbers at other gins.
 This condition, however, is not at all local, but general over the state. At Little Rock, the receipts as compared with last year are ev- en lower in proportion than at Con- way, being 7oo2 bales this year and 16, 494 last year. The follow ing is the number of bales bought by Conway merchants up to yes terday afternoon. Seventy bales stored in the Farmers Union ware house are not included in this re- port.

FROST CUTS OFF COTTON CROP
Temperature Near Freezing Point
 Three Mornings.
Promising Top Crop of Cotton in Faulkner County Ruined by Early Killing
 Frosts This Week

Killing frosts for three consecu- tive mornings, coming more than a week earlier than the earliest on record for any year, put an end to the hope that the short cotton crop of Faulkner county might be sup plemented by a rather promising top crop, which began it's growth after the severe drouth was broken.
 The first frost appeared Sunday morning, when the temperature fell to 34 degrees. The following morning the temperature was one degree lower and only one degree above the freezing point, and the third killing frost occurred Tuesday morning. This is the earliest kill ing frost on record at Conway, the record, however, extending back only ten years. The earliest pre- vious frost recorded occurred on October 22, 1898, or nine days later than that of this year.
 The cotton crop was considera- bly, damaged by the frost. One farmer was heard to say that he would lose five bales on account of its early appearance.
 The weather for the week ending Tuesday night has been clear and cool. The observations as taken by Prof. G. H. Burr are given be- low:

HENDRIX LOSES FIRST GAME
Football Team Defeated by Hen
 derson Monday.
Score was 5 to o, Visitors Making Touch down in Last Few Minutes of Play
 but Fail to Kick Goal

The collegiate football season was opened in this city Monday, when Hendrix was defeated in a fast game with Henderson of Ark adelphia, the score being 5 to o. The visitors made touchdown in the last few minutes of play, but failed to kick the goal.
 The game was hotly contested throughout and neither side seemed able to cross their oppon- ent's line. In trying to make a forward pass, Hendriy fumbled the ball and Henderson carried 1t over the line fer touchdown.
 Hendrix came near scoring ln the first half, just after play was started. Douglas secured the ball on a tumble after Hendrix had kicked off. He ran almost the en- tire length of the field, but was stopped in front of the goal. Hen derson held Hendrix to downs and punted out of danger. The play for the rest of the game, until the score was made, was all near the middle of the field.

BURGLAR ENTERED STORES
Three Conway Buildings Entered, but Lit
 tie of Value is Missed.

A burglar entered three business buildings i'll this city Wednesday night of last week, but secured very little of value at any place.
 The store of w. M. Harrell & Co. was entered through rear win dow and the burglar forced open all three of the cash registers, but obtained only fifty cents, the cash having been put in safe at close of business. The registers were slight ly damaged. While there he de- voured two cans of salmon and box of crackers. The meat mar kets of Boydston & Adams and J. M. Murphy were also entered, a small amount of money and sever al pounds of sausage being taken at the former place and nothing of value at the latter.

25 FARMS TO BE ESTABLISHED
In Faulkner County Under Gov
 ernment Supervision.
Agricultural Demonstrations to be Made Under Personal Supervision of Gov
 ernment Experts.

At least twenty-five government demonstration farms will be culti- vated in this county under the per sonal supervision of an expert of the United States department of az riculture next year.
 Col. A. V. Swaty of Little Rock, representing the department, was here Monday and made a talk to a number of business men and farm CTS, urging this action, after which arrangements have been made to establish the farms. The conditions under which the farms are estab- lished are as follows:
 Every farmer who desires to take advantage of the system must agree to plant and cultivate at least five acres of corn and five acres of cot ton under the government instruc- tions. The seed for planting are furnished by the government at the rate of S per farm. In order to secure the cooperation of the business men 1t is desired that the seed be paid for by them. If as many as twenty-five of these farms are established in the county, the government will keep an expert in the county at least half his time, who will visit each farm about once a month.
 Secretary w. N. Owen of the Board of Trade has taken subscrip- tions to raise the amount required to purchase seed for more than twenty-five farms, the following having subscribed the amounts given:
The log cabin Democrat., 1907-10-17

Col. Swaty promises that he will personally take charge of the work in this county. along with an equal number of farms in some adjoining county.
 One of the most important req sons urged by Col. Swaty for the immediate beginning of this work is the approach of that pest of the cotton field, the boil weevil. This insect, discovered in Texas few years ago, is rapidly moving north ward and eastward, its progress be- ing about 75 miles year, and has already done a great deal of dam age in the southern part Of Arkan- sas. No means of eXtermlnating the boil weevil has yet been dis covered, and Col. Swaty says the only thing for the farmers is to make crop in spite of it. This, he says, can be doue by planting early and by using cotton seed which natures early, as the worst damage is done to late cotton.
 Whether the boil weevil reaches Faulkner county or not, however, the incre ased production on farms cultivated under government su- pervision, will, it is thought, be sufficient reason for the farmers to adopt the methods advocated, when actual demonstrations are put be- fore them. Only one farm in Faulkner county, that Of w. II. Chrouch of Round Mountain, was cultivated in this manner last year. Mir. Chrouch planted four acres ot cotton according to government Ill. structions, and he says he will gather just about 800 pounds of cotton on this land to every 100 on an equal area planted according to his old custom.
 All farmers who desire to take advantage of the government su- nervision and convert tea acres of their land into demonstration farm, should correspond with w. N. Owen at Conway at once, as It desired to complete the list and begin fall preparation of the soil by November I. The cost to the farmer is nothing whatever, as the seed will be paid for by the mer-
 I+e of Conway. The farmer will, of course, get as his own, all nrod ucts of the farm, except that he will be required to return an l, amount of seed equal to that which he plants.

SERVICE WILL BE IMPROVED
Better Express Facilities to be
 Ordered Here.
Railroad Commission Heard Complaints of People Against Pacific Express Co.,
 in This City Friday.

After hearing the complaints of the people of Conway against the inadequate facilities for delivering express matter in this city, the rail road commission at its session here last Friday took the case under ad- visement, with the taClt under standing that an order for an inn provement of the situation would be ordered.
 The entire commission, compos ed of Chairman J E. Hampton, R. P. Allen and J. w. Crockett, were present at the hearing. The case was brought to the attention of the commission by Secretary w. N. Owen of the Board of Trade and the hearing was had in the rooms of this organization, in the pres ence of a large number of people. Superintendent c. F. Johnson of Little Rock was present to repre- sent the express company.
 The case of the complainants was presented by R. w. Robins, who enumerated the lnCOnvenlenCes to which the people have been sub- iected in the delivery of express at this place. He stated that no one had any criticism to make person ally against either the agent or any of the clerks in the service of the company, but that they were ham, pered by inadequate storage room and the inconvenient arrangement of the depot. The express storage room is situated in dark corner of the freight wareroom, while per sons desiring to obtain express mus sign for it and pay the chargee through a small window opening into the white waiting room, through which all freight business is also handled. This window is almost always crowded i'll the busy season, and the remoteness ot the wareroom makes the delivery very slow.
 Several present a. the hearing testified to inconveniences they had suffered, and were cross-questloned by Superintendent Johnson.
 Secretary Owen had asked that the express company be ordered to install a separate express office downtown, with free delivery with in the city limits. It is thought that if this had been insisted upon the commission would have issued an order to that effect, but Su- perintendent Johnson asked, as compromise, if the people would be satisfied with a separate office in the north end of the depot building, with a separate agent in charge ot it, free delivery to be installed as soon as the receipts of the othce, under the rules of the company, would justify it.
 There was considerable discus sion of the proposition, but it was hnally put to vote O1 those pres ent and carried. It is generally understood that the commission will issue an order at once cover ing this change in the service.
 Commissioners Hampton and Crockett, at the conclusion of the hearing, wired for permission from the railway superintendent to re- turn to Little Rock on a freight train, hoping to gain time. In this, however, they were disap- pointed, as their train stalled five miles out from Argenta and the commissioners were forced to walk the remainder of the way. Com missioner Allen left. on the west bound train Friday night.

REPORT OF BOARD REJECTED
Council Fails to Approve Light
 Plant Report.
Statement Asked For Ordinance Prohibiting Drunkenness in Public
 Places Passed.

At a meeting of the city council held Thursday night, having been adjourned from Tuesday night pre- vious, the annual report of the board of improvement of the cleo tric light district of Conway was submitted, and a resolution to refer 1t back with the directions to file a more detailed statement was adopt ed by the council.
 The report of the board gave statement of all money received from the improvement district tax es and paid out in retiring the pur- chase notes of the plant, but failed to give an account of the receipts and expenditures incurred Ill the operation of the plant. The reso- lution adopted by the council is as follows
 "'Be 1t resolved by the city coun- cil of Conway, Arkansas, that the report of the electric light improve ment district of Conway be referred back to said board of improvement with directions to said board to file with this council an itemized state ment and report showing all mon- eys received by said board from all sources, including taxes, collec- tions for light service and all sources whatever; and also all moneys paid out to all persons for labor, salaries, supplies, fuel and for all purposes whatever, showing name of person receiving same and and date and amount of said pay ment, during the year ending Sep tember 30, 1907.
 All members of the council were present and the resolution was passed without dissenting vote.
 An ordinance was introduced, and under suspension of rules, read the second and third times and passed, making it a misdemeanor to appear ill any public place, pub lie gathering, train or depot in a drunken or intoxicated condition. This ordinance is different from the one previously in force relating to this offense, in that the old or dinance was limited by the pro- vision that someone must testify to being annoyed or disturbed by the conduct of a drunken person be- fore such person could be convic- ted. The new ordinance is auth orized by an act of the last legisla- ture.
 The quarterly report of Treasur- CT w. J. Wilkins was filed, show ing receipts from fines, licenses and street work for the quarter amount ing to $225. o7; disbursements on city warrants amounting to SIooo. o9 and a balance in the city treasury On October of S2ooo. 46.
 The city marshal, J. R. Charles, also filed his quarterly report show ing collections for the quarter amounting to S2o6.o7 and 29 days worked on the street by free labor.
 The council allowed accounts for salaries, work on streets and supplies, amounting to S2oI.25.
