HAVE GIVEN UP
 FRANTIC EFFORTS
London Newspapers Failed to Prove Se' cret British Expedition Discovered
 North Pole.
CSpecial from United Press.)


 London, Oct. 2.-London newspapers, given up their frantic and -ludicrous effort to prove that secret British expedition discovered the North Pole before either pr. Cook or Commander Peary reached it.
 The idea was one of the most weir d ever conjured up. but the British peo- pie seized on to it with avidity and pursued it in the vain hope that 1t could be shown that the English out did the Americans in this banner ex- plora ton.
 Notwithstanding the many impossl- ble features the London editors took the story seriously-an incomprehensl- ble thing to anyone who fails to ap- preciate the Britons passionate aver sion to being outdone at anything. The editors sent their best men to investigate the rumor. The original rumor was supplemented by another report that the Geographical Society knew all about the secret expedition didn't the reporters and editors re- fused to believe them. Even now some of the newsDapermen remain confident that the Geographical Socie- ty is silent because they don't think the time ripe for publicity and that in due time "all the facts will come out"
 The British press is finding much comfort in the contention that Com mander Peary left Captain Bartlett behind when he made his final dash honor of finding the "big nail'' him self. The papers are making the most of this and seem to be getting a lot of satisfaction out of 1t.

| IN THE THEATRES

On next weeks bill there is one de- c1ded novelty, in the person of Tro- vato, the celebrated Filipino wonder.
 It will be worth the price of admission alone to see this wonderful person. ***
 Those who have a liking for stage
 sensations will be satisfied when they
 see DeCoe. This act is almost too
 much for the nerves of even callous- ed old theatregoer. He is variously
 designated on the program as ''the
 man with the tables and chairs,'' and 'tthe ten-story man." but neither of these conveys the proper meaning. DeCoe uses tables, chairs, bottles and glasses in his equilibristic feats. Three tables are piled one upon another. On | top of these chair is placed, and on that DeCoe fixes a second chair, up- side down. Then, with a chair in
 either hand, he performs the seeming | ly impossible feat of climbing to the | top of the swaying pile. One of the chairs he carries is carefully balanced on the legs of the one upside down. | Climbing cautiously to the top, he places the remaining chair, seats him. l self in it and balances it on it's rear legs. Nor does he stop here. Appar-
 entity losing his balance he tumbles
 backward. alighting on the floor with
 the chair in his hand. The act is call
 culated to give one creepy feeling.-

 Here is the complete bill: Dale & Boyle, singing and dancing.

 sensation of two continents.

JACKSoN'S
THE CLANIstMAN.

That intensely interesting drama of
 (ae Reconstruction period, ''The Clans
 man." will be seen at Jackson's this evening. AViewed as a stage product
 simply. s1The Clansman" is one of the trnost powerful dramas ever put on Ethe American boards. Such scenes as 1.-the High Court of the Ku Klux Klan land the parting Of the lovers. Ben land Elsie, would alone be sufficient to kmake the fortune of any play. The power of the play as a play is proven Eby the enthusiasm with which 1t IS Ereceived both North and South. Popu- lar support, not critical opinion is twhat makes and mars plays, and the Tremendous business done by 'The tElansman'' in every section Of the tcountry shows the peoples verdict.
 The seat sale has been very very large and indicates a healthy interest k in this charming production.
 tTHE GTRL OF THE GOLDEN WEST ..The Girl of the Golden West" from l the pen of David Belasco, is in four acts and these are produced in two ! striking stage pictures depicting Cali < fprnia scenery in the days of its ear- I Hest settlement. As MT. Belasco is a native of California, the drama should breathe the spirit of it's locale. The plot is said to be full of highly dra- matic situations. One quotes in de- scription of the play this paragraph | .'In those days people coming from E-God knows where, joined forces in l that far western land, and accord ! ing to the rude custom of the camp, their very names were soon lost and unrecorded. Here they struggled laughed, gambled, cursed, killed, low ed and worked out their strange des- Etinies in a manner incredible to us of to-day. sof one thing only are we sure-they Iived.''
 This will be the first Belasco attrac- ton to appear here for a number of seasons and will be presented in its entirety with a cast of surpassing Thursday evening, Oct. 7th. The sale of seats starts Monday morning.
 
 THE GIRL FROM RECToR's. Following it's run of an entire sea- lson at Weber's Music Hall, New York, "The Girl from Rector's" will be seen | in this City, at Jackson's Theatre for a single performance next Friday ev- | ening, Oct. 8. Paul M. Potter is the author of the work, and, despite the fact that his past has been 1dent1ted with plays of serious nature, he hit upon a vein of humor in 'The Girl' which astonished even his most ar dent admirers. It is a long step from l a play of the nature of 'Trilby'' Of which he was the author to an offer ! ing like that of his latest creation. The New York critics declare that he has
 made name for himself in the field
 of comedy which will survive his for mer reputation. There isn't a dull line ] throughout .sThe Girl From Rector's" | and not situation that cannot be un- i. derstood and appreciated by any one. 1 The success of the piece may be judg- ed from the fact that its earning ca

especially in regard to the passen- ger business, and that there was no question but that this would be remedied in the near future, one object of his visit being to get the ideas of our business men as to the best and most practicable method of making the necessary improve mentS.
 Speaking for the Board of TT. de President Stonewall Anderson of Hendrix College briefly outlined some of the changes and improve ments the people desired to have made on the railroad grounds. A new passenger depot, he said, was of course needed, and the freight depot should be moved to some point farther sonth so that Main street could be opened up across the tracks. The passenger station should be situated either north or south of Main street, in the square The sidings, cotton platform and seed houses should be removed as much as possible from the square, so that it could be beautifed and kept clean.
 Several possible objections to some of the improvements suggest ed were raised and various plans for overcoming them were offered but it was finally decided to ap point committee to agree upon and outline the improvements de- sired by the city, Mir. Sullivan stating that nothing should be done except upon permanent plan and after careful consideration. He promised to make another visit to Conway whenever this commit tee is ready to confer with him again. On motion of Col. G. w.. Bruce the following were appoint ed on the committee: Capt. w. w.

 Expected Here.

That a new passenger depot will be built and other improvements in railroad facilities will be made at this place is the intimation given by number of high officials of the Missouri Pacific system who spent several hours in Conway to- day. Whether all of the changes desired by the citizens on the rail road square can be secured is doubtful, but the prospects seem bright indeed for severable desira- ble improvements.
 General Manager A. w. Sulli- van of the Missouri Pacific system arrived from St. Louis on his special train this morning at 9 o'clock. Accompanying him were General Superintendent w. J.. Mckee of Little Rock and Division Superintendent J. F. Murphy of Van Buren, and several other officials.
