FIRE DESTROYS
 FINE RESIDENCE

Fire originating in a kitchen flue stroyed the handsome new Broom residence on College avenue, owned jointly by J. R. Saunders and his son in-law, w. s. Hendrickson. The blaze was an intensely hot one, and had gained such headway when discov- cred that, without any fre-fghting apparatus, nothing could be done to save the house. Many expressed the opinion, in view of the movement now on foot to install waterworks in the city, that with a single line of fire hose and good water pressure, the fire could have been easily eXtin- guished with but few hundred dol lars damage.
 The residence was one of the room jest and most substantially built in the city, and was erected by MT. Saunders and MT. Hendrickson only , few years ago. It was insured for 1000, policies for $2,000 each being carried in the Home Insurance Com pany and the Cosmopolitan Insur- ance Company of New York, repre- sented by c. E. Durham.
 Mrs. Saunders and Mrs. Hendrick- son were experimenting general house cleaning when the fire occur red and had moved a large part of the furniture out on the porches On account of this fact much of the household goods were saved, and the loss aside from the residence itself was inconsiderable. Both Mr Saun- ders and MT. Hendrickson were away from home, and the fire was first seen by some small children, who first gave the alarm.
 Both of the ladies are in poor health and Mrs. Hendrickson was

CENTS
 PAID FOR COTTON

Thirteen cents is being paid for cotton in Conway today, the highest price since the famous Sully cam paign about six years ago, and a few bales of the better grade brought 13.10c. So far as the big markets are concerned, this is an extremely high price for the staple, as the price of spots in New York yesterday was only 10 points higher than is being paid here today It is only in keep ing, however, with the reputation Conway buyers enjoy over a large scope of territory for paying all and little more than the market justi- fies for cotton.
 Although 37s more bales have been bought here up to noon today than up to the same date last year, this ratio is not expected to be maintained long, as there will be not much over half the crop that was made last year. The Log Cabin Democrats s weekly cotton statement is given be- low:
 Conway merchants up to noon to- day have bought cotton as follows:

NORMAL OPENS WITH TREb[FD
 ENROLMENT

With an enrolment three times as great as that the first day of the first session one year ago, the Arkansas State Normal school this morning be- gan it's second annual session. The first days enrolment last year was 45, while up to o'clock this after noon 140 students had matriculated for the session.
 The opening exercises were infor- nal, both Superintendent George B Cook and Prof. B. w. Torreyson who were on the program for ad- dresses, being detained at Little Rock. Short talks were made by Dr. J. E. Godbey of Hendrix college, Rev. J. J. Hurt, pastor of the Baptist church, and President w. w. Rivers of Central college Their talks were in the nature of welcome to the students and faculty of the Normal upon the part of the other colleges and the citizens of Conway, and also included much good advice to the students.

MAY RAISE RIVER AND
 CONWAY REAL ESTATE

That there is a possibility that Conway real estate and Arkansas
 river farm lands may be assessed higher by the state tax commission, sitting as an equalization board, is the gossip at the courthouse here. Deputy County Clerk w. F. Whid- don who is at work making up the tax books for 1909, states that he asked Tax Commissioner David A. Gates, who was here Monday, wheth- er he would be safe to proceed with the extension of taxes in the books, after the equalization board had ad- journed without changing any assess ment. MT. Whiddon says Commission CT Gates told him he could go ahead with the extension of all the country upland property, as there would be no change in the assessment there, but it was likely there would be an increase ordered in the assessments in Conway and the Arkansas river bottom lands, which the commi sson- CT believed were below the 50 per Icent basis.
 In order to avoid the possibility of having to erase a great lot of figures, nothing more will be done on the tax books of this property until after the meeting of the state equalization hoard in November

CONNECTS TAKEN
 TO STATE FARM

Little Rock, Sept. 22.-Early this morning a special train pulled away from the Iron Mountain depot with 262 striped-suited negro convicts aboard, bound for the state farm at Cummins The train arrived at Var ner about noon and the convicts were marched overland to the state plan tation. The march from the old pen itentiary was made this morning with guards every 20 feet of the way to the depot, and not one of the con- victs in the long line, which was over a block in length, made any effort to escape. These convicts will be kept at the farm until the states cotton crop has been picked, when they will be returned and turned over to rail road contractors for work there. Soon after the special train with the negro convicts had pulled out, 63 white |convicts were loaded on car at Itached to a northbound train and taken to McAlmont, short distance above Argenta, where they will be worked under the Raleigh contract, each bringing to the state S1.50 per day for the work done. The old peni- tentiary would now be a desolate structure were it not for the 100 con- victs working on the state capitol
 building, and the few convicts in the
 hospital.

 In his announcements President J. U.

BAT HITS WITH
CEMENT BALLS
HYLAND KICKS ON BUNDLE OF
BANDAGES USED ON CAMS
GREAT CROWD PACKS ARENA
TODAY.
(By United Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20
There is strong possibility of a
hitch over bandages when Dick Hy-
land and Battling Nelson meet at
3 this afternoon for a As round
contest for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world. Hyland an
nounces that he will refuse to go
on if Nelson makes cement balls
out of his hands with bandages, as
he did when he fought Cans last
year. He will insist on only suf-
ficient bandages to protect the
knuckles.
Early indications point to the
biggest crowd that ever attended a
fight in the Mission street arena.
Before noon the fans began to
journey to the big tent to get the
best seats.
Nelson spent the night at Turk
ish bath. Hyland spent the night
at his training quarters across the
bay. He came to San Francisco
shortly before noon.
If Hyland wins he will get the
championship and $1,000; Nelson,
if he wins, retains the title and
gets $4,000.
