There is a sad look about her eyes, as
II she had some great grief, and l
shall not expect her to do much work"
They disputed for half an hour over
the point, and next day Miss Rose
was given the hall between the Office
rooms of the partners. 1t was a
gloomy, contracted space, but she
made no complaints. Each partner
had made excuses to address her half
q dozen times when it came half past
II o'clock Then Klein passed into the
room Of the other and said:
"You seem to have lots OF business
with the new girl this morning. If you
are not more careful she will become
afraid Of you.'
Ell was going to say the same thing
to YOU" was the prompt reply. Il
have simply been treating her in a IA
therly way. l think she has lost her
natural father, and that's the reason
she looks 80 sorrowful."
"But she will expect me to invite her
out to lunch. 1 am the senior partner,
you know"
"But I was intending to do that
courtesy myself 1t belongs to the jun
Tor partner"
"But contend that it would look
forward In you. Remember, she is a
very timid girl"
81 shall be gentleness itself. You
with your brusque way would certain
ly brighten her" M
They went out into the store to
argue the matter out, and 1t took SO
long to do 1t that Miss Rose had gone
to her lunch when they returned to
ask her to go with both. The partners
felt that the other was to blame, and
at half past 1 o'clock, in order to get
even with Klippert, Klein called the
stenographer into his room and die
tated q letter and then said:
miss Williams, your work has prov
ed so satisfactory that your salary is
raised to $13 per week"
She expressed her thanks and back
cd out, but scarcely had five minutes
passed when Klippert called her in to
ark If she was satisfied with her sal
ary and to add before she could reply:
"You take hold Of the work so well
that I shall make your salary $50

IRON RIVER

From the Pioneer

From the Pioneer
Jean Foubert, d man who had
been in the employ of the Iron River
River Lumber Company, and who
had been boarding with Landlord
Holden, of the Seymour Hotel, drew
what wages he had coming to him
from the lumber company and after
cashing the check. he left this city
without paying for his accommoda-
ton or making any arrangement
satisfactory to his boarding boss.
Mr.. Holden lodged a complaint
against Foubert and Constable Nc
Donald brought the accused back to
this city to answer to The charge.
He pleaded guilty to the charge,
and said that he had neither the
money to pay Holden nor to pay q
fine. although he was willing to
work and make everything right.
There had been nothing in the past
conduct of the prisoner to indicate
that he coul1 be relied upon to carry
out his promises and fulfil his tinan-
cial obligations, so he was sent over
to board with Sheriff Happle for a
period of thirty days. 1.

fIfld anything except as to strict BUST
ness"
Klein had been in the habit of leay-
ing the store every afternoon at haif
past 1. On this occasion he hung
about until 5. Klippert and the en-
ployees left at half past 5. Klippert
sauntered after the new stenographer
to see what car she took. He had just
ascertained when he encountered his
partner. They eyed each other sus-
piciously for minute and then lied.
Each had ready excuse on his
tongue. Next morning at the store
the senior partner called the junior
partner into his room and gravely
said:
''Mr. Klippert, l should be grieved
to know that you were following Miss
Williams to the car, but the more
think CT it the more suspicious your
conduct appears"
But what were you doing there"
was promptly asked
Business uncUnnected with the
store called me to the spot"
"Same here"

"Umv'
81 would suggest that neither Of us
ask the young lady to lunch. She
might misconstrue our action"
"Just what I was about to suggest
We will go out together, as hereto
fore"
But things ranked in the mind OF
the senior partner. AS a matter Of
fact, he had gone to the car half an
hour ahead Of the girl to make sure
that she took the right one for home
and did not go sauntering off into
the swamps and become victim of
the Black Handlers. The junior part
ner had come upon him and wronged
him in thought. He did the only thing
he could think of to get even. He
called Miss Rose in and raised her sal
airy to 500 week
The Junior partner was not at all
satisfied with the situation. He had
followed the stenographer to the car
to see that the bookkeeper, who was
known to be a masher, didn't do the
same There he had met his partner
and been looked at distrustfully. In
wronging him the partner wronged
Miss Rose, and he called her in and
dictated a fictitious letter and added:
II am pleased to say that our work
was never so well done before, and /
wish to inform you that your salary
has been advanced to $25 per week"
Miss Williams came to her place on
a Wednesday. On Saturday afternoon
there was a half holiday. On Satur-
day afternoon also Mr.. Klein met Mr..
Klippert in the village where the
stenographer lived. Each was saun-
tering about when he met the other.
They came to a dead stop and glared
and scowled. Each wanted to ask the
other what he was doing there, but he
didn't ask. Klein finally took Kip
pert by the arm and walked him to
the car, and when both were seated
and headed for the city he said:
"Klippert, it's hard times in bust

"Not Ill the least"

And on Monday morning Miss Will

that owing to her inexperience her
services would no longer be required.

FAIR COMPANY
TO Be ORGANIZED
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

Although little has been publish
ed recently in regard to the enter
prise, the proposition to have a
big county fair at Conway next
fall is not dead by any means. In
a quiet way Secretary c. L. Bah
nel of the Board Of Trade has been
pushing the fair project among the
members of the board, and it is
now stated that the Faulkner
County Fair Association is prac-
tically certainty and will be or
ganized within the next few weeks.
An option for a fve-year lease
on the 4o-acre tract in the eastern
part of the city owned by Judge
Sam Frauenthal and H. B. Ingram
has been secured, and this will
doubtless be the location of the
fair grounds. 1t is also likely that
w. N. Owen will be rendered the
management of the fair.
1t is planned to organize a stock
company with a sufficient capital
to cover the cost of erecting the
fair buildings, enclosing the
grounds and building half mile
race track. A meeting for this
purpose is expected to be held with
in a short time.

LIGHTNING STRIKES WOMAN
Mrs. T. II. Downs Seriously In
jured at Vilonia.
Struck by Electrical Bolt while Asleep in
Bed Early Tuesday Morning-Res-
idence Damaged.

Struck by a bolt of lightning,
Mrs. J. H. Down, wife of DR..
Down, was seriously though not
fatally injured, while asleep in
bed, at their home in Vilonia, at 2
O'Clock Tuesday morning. The
bolt also considerably damaged
the residence, a handsome new
building, causing damage of
about $500.
Mrs. Downs was sleeping with
her husband and their baby was
in little bed close by when the
lightning struck the house. The
bolt rendered her unconscious and
inflicted a severe injury on her
hip, but, strangely enough, neither
DR.. Downs nor the baby were at
all injured 1t was feared fer
while yesterday that Mrs. Downs
might not recover, but telephone
message from Vilonia this after,
noon states that she is doing nice
ly and will probably be able to be
up within a few days,
The bolt of lightning knocked
out several windows, tore a part OF
the roof off and seems to have
struck the house in three or tour
different places.
The lightning occurred during
the progress of storm which
seems to have been general over
the northern and eastern part OF
the state, causing great damage
and loss of life in several sec
tiOnS.

NEGRO STRIKES
R. B. M'CULLOCH
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

r. B. McCulloch, superintendent
of the Conway oil mill, was struck
of the head with a brick by John
Dorman, a negro in his employ,
this morning. Mr.. McCulloch was
felled to the ground by the blow,
and Dorman escaped and has not
been caught at the time of going
to press this afternoon. A party
of officers is on his trail, however,
and he is expected to be captured
before night. 5 Mr.. McCulloch S
injuries are not serious, but are
quite painful.
Dorman has been working at the
oil mill for some time, and this
morning Mr.. McCulloch reprimand-
ed him for not performing some OF
his duties The negro became i'm
pudent and Mr.. McCulloch dis
charged him and told him to come
to the Office and get his time. The
negro walked behind Mr.. McCul-
loch and on the way to the office,
Dorman picked up brick and
threw it at his employer, striking
him in the back of the head. Dor
man then fled, and it is stated that
he went home and armed himself
and left in a southeasternly direc-
ton from Conway.

PROF, SOWDER
RESIGNS CHAIR
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

The resignation of Prof. J. w.
Sowder from the faculty of the
Arkansas State Normal School was
rendered to Pres. J. Doyne and the
board of trustees last night. Prof.
Sowder resigns to accept the chair
of assistant horticulturist in the
Agricultural College of Maryland,
and will leave Conway about March
II, when the second term of the
present session of the Normal
closes. His new position is consid-
erably better from a financial
standpoint than that which he is
now holding. Prof. Sowder also
prefers to teach agriculture, having
taken a postgraduate course in
that science in Cornell University
last year. He has occupied the
chair of history in the Normal
since it opened last September.
Prof. Sowder's s resignation came
as both a surprise and a disappoint-
ment to his friends here. His de-
parture from Conway will be es-
pecially regretted by the members
of the Presbyterian church, as he
has taken an active interest in that
church, and has been elected a
deacon and the superintendent of
the Sunday school.
President Doyne is seeking to
obtain competent professor tor
the history department whom he
can recommend to the board as
Prof. Sowder's successor, and the
vacancy will probably be filled by
the time Prof. Sowder is ready to
leave Conway.

To PLAY Return Game.

The State Normal girls basket
ball team will go to Little 'Rock
Saturday to play a return game
with st. Mary's Academy. Coach
Longstreth takes upon himself the
blame for the loss of last Saturday S
game, saying that, after apparently
having the game won, he took out
several of the best players, and
states that he expects the next
game to result in a victory for the
Normal. The probable lineup for
the Normal Saturday will be as
follows: Forwards, Misses Mean
nally and Owens; center, Miss Jen-
kins; SIDE center, Miss Matmuller;
guards, Misses Harrod and Nc
Kamey.

the forces of Sheriff B. l.. Roberts
and Postal Inspector J S. Swean
son, of Cedar Rapids, Ia, the big
gest catch of years was made here

who are alleged to be part of
gang which has operated all over
the Mississippi Valley, swindllng
well-to-do men of various cities
cities out of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. This gang is said to be
the leader of them all, and with it
was captured J. c. Mabry, alias
Gordan, who is supposed to be the
leader of the gang, and the man
who has been under cover working
the wires in the bogus foot and
horse race and wrestling swindles.
Mabry was recognized by J. E.
Kavanaugh, wealthy timber
dealer of Louisiana, as the mil
lionaire cotton broker who swindled
him out of $4,000 on a wrestling
match. Mabry has been identified
by others, and many other vic
tins are on their way to Little
Rock to take a look at the three
men to see if they can fasten upon
them their losses in connection
with foot races, horse races or
wrestling matches.

Favors Stock Law.

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
In your paper last week l see
two articles in opposition to the
stock law, in which some state
ments are made with which l can
not agree.
In the first place, believe that
all citizens of Conway who are di-
rectly interested in farming should
have the right to sign either for or
against the petition.
Mr.. Dunn refers to Mis- sissippi.
| find that the farmers there
still maintain the stock law after
20 years experience.
AS to the renter, | fail to see
how it would cost him anything.
If the landowner did not prepare
pastures for his tenant, he would
simply get no tenants, and if too
many restrictions were made on
the tenant, he would go to some
other land owner. All of this would
be governed by supply and de
mand.
| really think the hardship
would come the first year and it
would be harder on the small land
owner than anyone else, but the
expense of getting stock-water
would be Insignificant when COM
pared with the cost of keeping the
farm fenced, while all tillable
lands ou side would be getting
more fertile all the time. In my
own settlement timber is getting
so scarce that it is even difficult to
get good fence posts, and it is only
a matter of a few years until we
will be compelled to resort to some
thing OF this kind.
AS to it taking a better fence to
keep stock in than to keep them
