SHOW MONDAY EVENING
AT THE HENDRIX AUDITORIUM UNDER DIRECTION OF MISS
 HETTIE DUNAWAY.

An entertainment of unusual merit will be given in the auditorium of Hendrix college Monday evening, when, under the direction of Miss Het- tie Dunaway, our most talented read CT, Men, Maids and Matchmakers" is to be presented. That the play will be a success is assured by the fact that Miss Dunaway is the director. It is a delightful musical comedy and has some excellent specialties, fea- ture of which is our well-known hu- morist, Doc Hammer, from whose witty remarks Conway people have many times laughed till their sides ached. In order not to conflict with the meet ing in progress at the Baptist taber- nacle, the entertainment will not be- gin until S:45 p. m., which will give those who attend church an oppor- tunity to be able to witness the play also. The proceeds will go to the Hendrix athletic association.

GREER JURY
 IS DISMISSED

Little Rock, Oct 23.--The jury which has sat in the w. L. Greer mur- der case, after being out two days and failing to reach an agreement on a verdict, was excused yesterday even ing by Judge R. j. Lea. The jury stood 8 to 1, and it is the common re- port that the majority favored con viction. Greer is bad-debt collector in this city and held an account against J L. Renneau, a trainman on the Iron Mountain He tied up his wages for he $16.40 alleged to be due and Renneau went several times to the office of Greer for an adjustment. On one of these calls he became in- volved in fight with w. F. Tucker, an attorney in the Greer office. He went to the Greer office on the after noon of a day in the latter part of last September and a fight resulted, in which Greer stabbed Renneau with a dissecting knife he used for a paper knife. Renneau died almost instantly and Greer was indicted later for mur- der in the first degree, securing his release on bail through a habeas cor pus proceeding.

NO CHANCE IN QUARTERS OF
 POSTOFF|CF

After several months deliberation, the postoffice department has accepted the proposal of J. Frank Jones for quarters for the Conway postoffice, and it will remain in it's present loca- tion for another ten years. The mat ter has been pending since early last June, when the department announced that the lease on the present building would expire July 16, and asked for bids for the location. The first action of the department was to award the contract to c. w. Cox for a building to be located on the west side of the public square. Protests against this location were made to the department by the Board of Trade and business men, who desired to hold the office on the east side of the square, and the contract was withdrawn. Another in- spection of the proposed sites was made, which resulted in a contract being awarded to H. B. Ingram for a building to be erected on East Oak street. Other protests were registered against the location, with the result that the third inspection was made, the result of which is announced above.
 There will doubtless be no further changes made in the location, and the present site is probably the most sat isfactory to the business men as a whole of any that is available.
 Shortly after the third inspection was made, and when the final decision was expected within a few days, the Log Cabin Democrat wired the de partment asking to be advised by tele- gram of the location when decided upon. The answer comes under date of October 20, in the following letter:

CONVICT NEWTON CAUGHT
AN ESCAPED PRISONER WHO TURNED BURGLAR AGAIN
 BEHIND BARS.

Little Rock, Oct 23.-Louis New
 ton, who made clever escape from the new state capitol Tuesday even ing, is back in the penitentiary being brought in last night from McRae, where he was captured yesterday morning. Newton was brought to the penitentiary in August, with four years to serve for robbery committed in Fulton county. He was put to work on the state capitol, and in some way a suit of citizens clothing was snug gled in to him. He donned these and walked out with the free laborers when they quit in the evening. Fha penitentiary officials thought Newton was still in the building and bonfires were burned about the building all night.
 The following day it was discovered in what manner Newton had escaped. Evidently making his way back to Fulton county, Newton started north on the main line of the Iron Noun tain. Thursday night a store was robbed in Beebe, and the description of the supposed burglar was sent to McRae, the station north of Beebe. Newton was arrested there early in the morning. In his pocket was found letter to his wife in Little Rock, telling her of his escape. The officers then teIephoned to Governor Don aghey, who telephoned to the peniten- tiary and discovered there was a $50 reward for the arrest of Newton, and so informed the people at McRae.
 Newton was then brought back to the penitentiary. He will be prose cuted as an escape and additional time added to his sentence, and at the ex- piration of it he will be taken to White county for prosecution for the burglary committed at Beebe Thurs day night

Little Rock, Oct. 23.-William H. Taft, president of the United States, will travel across the state of Arkan- sas tomorrow. He will arrive in Tex arkana from Dallas over the Texas and Pacific railway at $40 o'clock in the afternoon. He will make a short address there and then depart in special train over the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern railway for St. Louis. Arrangements have been made for him to stop in Little Rock for a 10-minute speech. The special is due to arrive here at 8 o'clock.

President Taft will speak from his car at the union station when he arrives here.
 From here the president will pro ceed directly to St. Louis, arriving there early Monday morning, where he will be the guest of the city for several hours before boarding the steamer Mississippi to begin his long journey down the father of water to New Orleans, where he will deliver an address before the deep waterways conventio non October 30.

WEEK OF BIG
 BUSINESS HERE

Today ends what has probably been the biggest business week in the his tory of Conway. More money has been paid out for cotton, more goods have been sold during the six days ending tonight than in any similar pc riod since the town was established. The greatest records were made by the cotton buying firms, but practically every store in Conway reports an eX- |ceptionally good trade. Money seems o be plentiful with the farmers, and one hears few complaints of the crop turnout. It is a matter of fact that, although the crop of cotton in this county is the poorest for 20 years, if the present prices hold good, practi- cally as much money will be received for the crop as was paid for last years production, the largest ever known in the county. Last year at this time a bale of cotton and the seed were worth about $45, while today the same amount will bring about $50, so that a crop very little more than half of that of 1908 will be worth the same money.
 The exceptionally big trade in Con way is due in a large measure to the aggressive advertising done by local merchants and to the generous prices paid for cotton by local merchants, who have offered from one-quarter to one-haIf cent pound more than the market justifes throughout the sea son. The latter have been fortunate, however. in buying on a gradually ris- ing market and have sustained no losses, although there has not been a day in the season when they could get the same prices from the cotton fac tors as they were paying the produc- CTS.

number they were defeated four times.

With an even break in luck the Kings

which this team began the season was

0megas in Front, With Crom-
well the Leading In
dividuaI.

At the end of the tenth week of the
season OF The Star Duckpin League no
one team has q comm anding advantage
over the others. and although the Alphas
are at the foot of the list with a small
percentage, yet a long pull and strong
pull and q pull all together would bring
them up the line past some at least OF
the others. The Ads, who started out in
the lead and held it for some time. have
dropped to second place. SURF andering the
lead to the Omegas. who have been con-
sistentiy winning the odd game for sew
eral weeks. BY defeating the Pleas three
straight games in their last set the Cir
culation team passed the former and Is
now in third place. The Antiques are
fifth. not far behind the Pleas. These two
latter teams have not yet rolled together,
their first set being postponed and the
second set. originally scheduled for
Thanksgiving night, being set forward 10
the end Of the season.
High game is still held by the Antiques,
though the Calculations are but one pin
back, the figures being 527 and $50. re-
spectiyely High set record is held by the
Omegas, with LAG. and the Calculations
are next in line for this record also. hav-
ing rolled 1.451, with the Pleas and An

spectively. The Pleas and Alphas' have
not yet marked up a five-hundred game,
though the totals OF 49, and 49, respect
lively, are not far away.
Circulation shows the best in total pins,
though a set Of 1,451 by the Antiques,
who have rolled three games less with a
total Of IL. 500 would bring the latter team
on even terms.
There have been several games won and
lost by one or two pins in the last two or
three weeks. which illustrates the i'm
portance OF getting every pin possible.
The man who is not discouraged by a
split" but who proceeds to "clean up
each side. usually has a respectable total
at the end Of the game.
