SEEK TO COME into CONWAY
Suburban Citizens Petition the
County Court.
Ask that Territory on South and West
Sides Be Annexed and Included
in City Limits.

Signed by a large majority of
citizens affected, petition was
presented to the Faulkner county
court on Tuesday asking that a
strip of land on the south and west
sides of the corporation lines be
annexed to Conway and included
in the city limits. But little op-
position has been offered to the
proposition and it is thought by
those interested that the court Will
make the order requested.
The territory proposed to be an
nexed is a strip one-quarter mile
wide entirely round the southern
and western limits OF the city. 1t
includes some OF the finest resi-
dence property in the city, among
which are the homes Of J. b.
Moore, Mrs. a. J. Moss, George
w. Donaghey, J. E. Little, J. +.
Murphy, Frank w. Jones, w. G.
Gragson, on the west side and a
considerable number on the south
side, and will also include the front
half of the state normal grounds.
The territory includes 10 'forties' .
the area being exactly one square
mile, and is officially described as
follows:
The west half of the west half OF
section one; the southeast quarter
of the southeast quarter OF section
two: the east half of the east hall
of section eleven; the northwest
quarter of the southwest quarter OF
section twelve; the south halt o1
the south half of section twelve; all
in township FIVE north OF range
fourteen west; and the south halt o1
the southwest quarter OF section
seven, in TOWNSHIP FIVE north ol
range thirteen west.
The law governing the annexa-
ton of territory to municipal cor
porations provides two methods by
which it may be done. Either
those residing in the district pro-
posed to be annexed may petition
the county court to be included
within the city themselves, or the
city council may petition the an
nexation on behalf OF the city.
Under the first method if the court
finds that a majority OF the qualih
ed electors having freehold inter
est in the territory to be annexed
and actually residing in the limits
prescribed in the petition have
signed the petition, the court Will
make an order granting the petl-
ton, which becomes effective with
in thirty days from the date OF the
order. This is the method under
which the effort is being made to
annex the territory mentioned to
this city.
When the petition was presented
to the court Tuesday Judge Lea
fixed February 10, 1908, at nine
O'Clock a. m., as time tor hear
ing the same.

NEGROES AS HIGHWAYMEN

Springfield, Ark, January =
Special Correspondence. - While
he was coming home from Martin
Vile Sunday night, couple of
negroes attempted to hold and rob
Joe Bell, but by trick of quick
wittedness he cut his bride reins
and caused his horse, while thus
loosed from their grasp, to spring
from them. In their efforts to stop
him, they caught the tail OF his
overcoat and stripped it OF buttons,
which, with the reins of his bride
which they held, constituted Joe s
loss, not to mention the scare and
reinless ride. He is unable to
identity the would-be robbers.

WEIGHT OF A
writes
An Illinois carresnnndent

An Illinois correspondent writes
Walace's Farmer:
Will you please give me the num-
Der of cubic feet in a ton Of silage2 I
have sold some and we cannot agree on
the cubic feet in a ton"
The weight of silage depends on a.
number Of different conditions. For
example,, the depth Of the silo, the
diameter, the condition Of the corn
when put into the silo, etc. Professor
King in his book on THE Physics Of
Agriculture" gives a table showing the
computed weight Of well matured corn
sllage at different distances below the
surface and the computed feed weight
for sllos at different depths two days
after filing. In the ease of a silo 10
feet deep is given as 33.1 pounds per
cubic foot, and the average weight for
all the silage in the silo down to 10
feet 26.1 pounds per cubic foo For
Ia silo 15 feet deep the weight Of the
silage at the fifteenth foot Is 40 pounds
per cubic foot, while the average
weight Of all Of the Is feet of silage is
1913 pounds per cubic foot For 20 feet
deep the weight Of the silage at 20 feet
age weight of all the silage in the 20
feet is 33.3 pounds per cubic foot At
80 feet the weight OF the silage at that
depth is 56.4 pounds per cubic foot
while the weight Of all the silage in the
silo OF that depth Is 1915 pounds per
cubic foot.
A silo 20 feet deep and Ii feet In
diameter will hold 1884 tons. A silo
80 feet deep and 15 feet In diameter
105 tons. In the above our correspond
ent can find enough information to en-
able him to figure out the weight
which should be allowed in his own
particular case.

The Woodland Brook.

Here leans the willow listening to hear
The dulcet voices OF the WOODLAND
throng,
Interpreting the message of the year
In syllables Of song.
From yonder dark and moss encurtained
nook
Some tardy reveller OF winter still
Wanders, and sends adown the pebbly
brook
Trtll upon icy trill.
Over the rocks all silvery they go
Whom April taught her blossom words
of praise,
Chanting the selfsame hymns the thrushes
know
A thousand various ways.
Past lfhed bank and cleaning grasses run
The sylvan hosts In swift, melodioua
flight, n
Paying in song their homage to the sun
And to the starstrewn night.
Children Of music! Myriad mountain rillst
l sit beside the leaning willow tree,
And hear the lyric heartbeats Of the hills
Go singing to the sea.

BIG SHORTAGE in cATTLE.

The Chicago Live Stock World sizes u
the present shortage as follows:
While it was generally conceded that thu
available supply in the country was lin.
tied, nobody looked for such a famine run
as developed this week. All through May
offerings were far below the normal, but
were pretty well suited to the demand for
consumption of beef was lighter than II
has been for years. Even in the face Of
the smallest May receipts in % years,
prices failed to advance, and even rei
coded for the lower grades. Since the first
of June receipts have been so small thai
buyers have become alarmed. Only 31,ON
cattle were received the first five days Of
this week. which is the lightest week 10
many years. As a natural result of this
small contribution prices have advanced
wonderfully, good steers scoring a gain
OF 5OG6Oc over a week ago. The famine
In supplies now is attributed the mainly
to the fact hat corn has been so high dur.
Ing the past year and that farmers pre-
ferred to sell the cereal than to feed 1t to
stock. Early this year, when the panic
fever was on, many liquidated their cattle
IN a habitat condition and did not buy
anything to take their places. So far a.
fat, well-finished steers are concerned, Il
is believed nat the supply will be short
for some time, though in a few weeks It
is likely that grassers will come more free
ly. The shortage this week was intensi-
fled by the fact that high water in the
southwest cut off the supply from Texas.

GRAND JURY ,NDlcTs ALBERT.
Nevada Board of Trade Man Must
Must Stand Trial.

Nevada, Oct. 3.-John P. Albert, a
former board of trade operator in this
city is under indictment by the Story
county grand jury, upon a charge of
conducting a bucket shop. He has
been granted a continuance and the
case will come up for trial at the
November term of the district court.
Albert conducted commission or
board of trade office in the city for
a year or so, or until about the middle
of April, when he quit and went on
the road. About that time d. v.
Thrift, a prominent business man who
had been carrying a pork deal thru
the Albert office for some time, be-
came scared and made an investiga-
ton, which disclosed alleged irregu
larities.
Albert. who was then out at Car
roll, was placed under arrest. After
some days spent in endeavoring to
make a settlement, part of the money
due Thrift was paid over to him but
the county attorney continued the
prosecution of the case and at pre-
lininary hearing before Mayor Dean,
Albert was bound over to the grand
jury.
Since the starting of this case Mr..
Thrift has brought action against A.
+. Clark, of aMrshalltown, thru whose
commission office Albert's business is
alleged to have been transacted, to re-
cover other moneys which he claims
are due him because of alleged IL
regular deals transacted with Albert

terna1tonal congress on tuberculosis,
which finally adjourned today to meet
in Rome, Italy, in 1911. The president

done and were doing, to stamp out the
great wlfilte plague. He declared that
medical scientists have shown just as
much heroism in their fight against

soldier on the field Of battle. Just be-
fore congress adjourned, a number OF
resolutions We're adopted, the
most notable of which places the con-
gress ON record in favor of recognizing
the possibility of infection of human
beings by bovine tuberculosis. The res
olurtion declares that preventa tive
measures should be continued against
bovine tuberculosis.
