TO ORDER MORE WALK LAID
City Council will Extend Con
 crete Sidewalks.
Council Also Agrees to Appropriate Funds
 for Testing Water Supply for

Several thousand feet of con crete sidewalk will be ordered lalc in this city at an early date accord ing to a decision reached by the city council at its meeting last night. The streets along which il is proposed to lay the walk are as follows:
 North side public square, from Jones livery stable to railroad eight-foot walk.
 East side of Front street, i'll al, places where concrete walk is moi already laid, from Oak street to Masonic hall, eight-foot walk.
 South side of East Oak street, from Front to Chestnut, ten-foot walk.
 East side of Locust avenue, from Deer street to College avenue, five foot walk.
 The city attorney was instructed to draft an ordinance ordering the property owners to lay walk along these streets, and it is probable that other portions of the city will be included before the ordinance is finally passed.
 To Test Water Supply.
 While no official action was taken the council agreed to ap- propriate funds to test the wells located near the tunnel for the pur- pose of ascertaining if the water supply is sufficient to furnish the city. The work will probably be taken up at once.
 The council adopted a resolution condemning the awnings in front of the stores of J. F. Weinmann, White Drug Co.,, and Burr Wal thall and ordered them torn away.
 The mayor was ordered to see that the ordinance requiring prop erty owners to cut the weeds on the sidewalks around the premises was better enforced.
 Accounts for street work and street crossings amounting to SI82.- 52 were allowed.
 Mayor Witt and Alderman Mar tin were absent from the meeting, which was presided over by Act ing Mayor Opie Hartje.

GIRLS ASSAILANT IS CAPTURED
Earl Dill, Sixteen -Year-Old Boy,
 Charged with Crime.
Is Positively Identified by Miss Burkhalter Victim of Brutal Assault in
 Little Rock

Litt.e Rock, June 23.-Hidden out in some secret place under close guard of officers, Earl Dill, I6-year old boy of this city, is un- der arrest charged with the brutal crime of assault, committed upon Miss May Burkhalter ill the Knights of Pythias hall Monday morning. The officers are positive that ill Dill they have the man who is guilty of the terrible crime.
 He attended the same school the Hill-keys Institute-as Miss Burkhalter, but was taking a private course and was not known to the girl who he is charged with having assaulted, though he knew her, and the janitor of the school today stated that Dill had made inquiries as to who the girl was.
 The boy is a son of Taylor Dill, the janitor of the Knights of Pyth- jas hall, and carried keys to the hall. These circumstances, added to the fact that he answered per fectly the description given by Miss Burkhalter of her assailant, caused his arrest by Deputy Con stable Rison and Deputy Sheriff Barney Stiel late yesterday after noon. Dill strenuously denied any knowledge of the crime except what he had read in the papers, but the officers went directly to the home of J. R. Fertine, 2I22 Main, where Miss Burkhalter lives and took the prisoner before her. She glanced up as the young man was brought into the room and a look of recognition came to hel face.
 "IS this the man" Rison asked.
 "Yes," came the instant re- sponse.
 Are you sure?"
 "Yes. If didn't know him by anything else, l would know thai voice.
 You are sure you are not mis- taken?" The officers wanted tC be absolutely sure.
 "I could not forget him even i I wanted to, not in thousand years. That facel That voice I am sure. ."
 Following the identification o Dill, the officers quickly went be fore Justice Meisner and secured { warrant, and had left the city with him before anyone outside knew of the arrest. He will prob ably be kept concealed for severa days until It is thought the dan ger of mob violence has passed.

Sold ill one week means that the people of Conway realize that our pianos are ill every respect what we claim for them. This is the number of sales made last week: One Valley Gem, one Howard and one Hamilton. These are all products of the Edwin Piano Co.,, and are the best on the mar ket at the price for which we sell them. The Valley Gem or How ard are better than many pianos which are sold as high-grade standard pianos and when you get either a Hamilton or all El- lington you have as good a piano for all practical use, as anybody. If you intend to buy piano this fall why wait, we will sell you at cash prices and let you pay for the instrument later. We want your business, must have it, and If you will only investigate and give us an equal chance we will get it. We can save you money and this is the same as making money for you. Give us the op- portunity.

Wisdom In Fable.

Among the best things that have
ever been written are the Aesop's ia
bles, which date back to the sixth GEN.
fury b. G. They present human ma
ture as 1t always has been. is and
probably always will be. Take, for
example. the story of The Fox With
out a Tall"
"a fox was once caught In trap
by his tail and in order to get free
was obliged to leave 1t behind. He
knew that his fellows would make fun
of his tailless condition. so he made
up his mind to induce them all to part
with their tails. At the next assem-
blage of foxes he made q speech OH
the uselessness Of tails In general and
the Inconvenience Of fox's tall In
particular. declaring that never In his
whole life had he felt so comfortable
as now I'm his tailless freedom. Whea
he sat down a sly old fox rose and,
waving his brush. said, with sheer,
that If he had lost his tail he would
be convinced by the last speakers ar
guments, but until such an accident
occurred he fully intended to vote In
favor Of tails"

Theaters of Different Ages.
BY FLORENCE LINDSEY,
Register OF Probate.

The difference between the play
house in which we see drama OF
Bronson Towards today and the play
house in which Sheridan's comedies
were originally acted is greater than
the difference between |Sheridan's
Drury Lane and the house for which
Congreve wrote and In which Better
ton acted. And that restoration play
house was very unlike the EliZabethan
theater for which Shakespeare wrote
and in which Burbage acted. Even
more apparent Is the difference be-
tween the theater of Dionysius at
Athens and the Roman theater at
Orange. These theaters are sharply
distinguished from one another by
their size, by their shape. by their
methods OF illumination, by the alb
sence or presence Of real scenery and
by the arrangement of the seats for
the spectators, and as we study these
successive changes we are confirmed
I'm the conviction that these physical
conditions must have exerted pow
erful influence upon the dramatists
who followed one another down the
centuries Matthews in Cen
fury.
