VOTE FOR s4O,000 BUILDING
Citizens of Conway Favor New
 School.
Resolutions Adopted to This Effect at a Meeting Held at the Board of
 Trade Saturday Night.

Resolutions favoring the imme- diate erection of new school building on the present site to cost not less than $40, 900 were adopted at mass meeting of the citizens of Conway held at the Board of Trade rooms Saturday night. The board of directors were instructed to formulate plans whereby the building can be financed and to use every possible endeavor to have the new building completed in time for the beginning of the next session.
 President Jo Frauenthal of the school board presided over the meeting. He read brief financial statement of the condition of the district, showing that there is now only about SI2oo in the treasury with four months salaries to be paid before the close of the term. This is expected to leave a deficit of about $I2oo, which of course, will be covered by the taxes now being collected. The estimated revenue this year is about $75oo and the estimated cost of main taining the school next year is S5ooo, leaving a surplus of about S25oo.
 Capt. w. w. Martin offered the resolution mentioned above, which was carried by unanimous vote. Architect c. l.. Thompson will be be in the city tomorrow to confer with the board in reference to plans for the new building.

IoINT CAMPAIGN UNLIKELY
Candidates for County Clerk are on Still
 Hunt for Votes.

 Hunt for Votes.
 As there will probably be no op- position to the candidates for any office except that of county clerk, it is not at all likely that there will be any joint campaign by the coun- ty candidates before the primary to be held on April 2. For while it was thought that Prof. T. J.. Bullion would have opposition for re election as representative, but G. D. Sowell has withdrawn and ]. A. Batson, who has been men toned as a probable candidate, has stated to friends that he will not make the race.
 The candidates for county clerk are making a still hunt for votes and each is spending as much time as possible in shaking hands with the Democratic voters of the coun-

POSTOFFICE BURGLARIZED
About $25 in Pennies and One Pound of

About $25 in Pennies and One Pound of
 Candy Taken from Office.
 Removing the transom over the rear door, burglar entered the Conway postoffice last Friday night and took a sack of pennies weighing about ten pounds and containing about S25 worth of the coins and pound box of candy which had been deposited in the mail box. Every drawer was pried open and ransacked, but nothing else of value was missed.
 No attempt was made to open the safe, which contained about $4oo in currency. The pennies were left out on account of the safe being too full to contain them.
 No clue has been obtained as to the burglar. It is thought from tracks discovered the next morn ing that he had a confederate on the lookout for him. Postmaster Owen notified federal officials inn mediately but no one was sent here to investigate the matter.

A fellow named Gibson, editor Cd the
paper at Grimes got himself unhked by
the people Of that burg and night or
two ago they plastered him with cold
storage eggs too ancient to pass the
requirments of the pure food law and
escorted him to the train with instrnc-
tons to make tracks with his heels
pointing towards Grimes. The poor
devil had probably been telling the
truth. If editors should so forget
themselves as to deal in plain unwar-

.PANAMAN IDEA OF U. S.
Isthmus Natives Think We Are There
as First Aid to Their Commerce.

Oyster Bay, ~ Y, July 31.-A con-
ference on conditions In the American
canal zone and on the relations of the
canal zone with the republic of Panama
was held at Sycamore Hill tonight.
Secretary OF War Wright and Secretary
Of the Isthmlan Canal Commission Jo-
seph B. Bishop, who had been summon
ed here to discuss the Panama matters
with the president, arrived this even
ing. They were accompanied by Mrs.
Bishop and Clifford Pinchot, chief Of the
bureau of forestry. The guests remain
ed over night at Sycamore Hill.
With General Wright and Secretary
Bishop the president tonight went over
In minute detail the situation in Pana-
ma. The conference will be resumed
tomorrow.
When questioned tonight regarding
report from Panama that the people
there believed that the ultimate result
OF the American operations on the 18TH
mus would be the seizure by the Unit
ed States OF the republic OF Panama
Secretary Bishop said that the alarm, II
there was any felt, was absurd. He
remarked that the people of Panama
did not seem to understand that the
United States was there to dig the ca
nal and do nothing else They seem
to have the idea said Mr. Bishop
that we are there to boom their com
merce to four or fve times its former
size, and will continue to increase It,"

STRONG FOR BRYAN
Socialistic Only Other Senti-
ment at the Meeting of
Trades Council.
NOT AN INDEPENDENT
Cigarmakers Who Were There Come
Out Strongly for Eugene v.
Debs.

The meeting Of the Trades Council
held last night to discuss politics re-
suited In no candidate being endorsed,
this going over to later meeting, but
the strongest sentiment of those pres
ent was In favor of William Jennings
Bryan and his policies. The next
strongest sentiment, we'll represented
by William Appelgate, the nominee for
lleutenant-governor, was socialistic.
The democrats present were very much
pleased that two men who have gem
orally been considered socialists stated
at the meeting that they would vote
for Bryan this fall.
Discussing the meeting after the ses-
son was over, but with all those who
had attended present, It was apparent
that in so far as the Trades Council
represents the local laboring classes
the action of President Gompers of
the American Federation OF Labor is
endorsed.
The hall was not over half filed, but
there were present representatives
from nearly all the trades. With the
majority Of those present favoring
Bryan, the cigarmakers who were
there came out strongly socialstic and
| for Eugene v. Debs. There were nc
brewers present, but these men 1t is un
derstood are also for Debs. In general
the bakers present were In favor OF
Debs. but one of them caused consid
erable surprise by rising and saying
that though he was generally social.

he would vote for Bryan.
