AT THE GRAND LAST NIGHT.

Coming to Conway unknown and unheralded, the Howard Entertainers made friends forthwith with the aud fence at the Grand last night. Natur- ally the threatening weather kept great many away, but those present were doubly we'll pleased at the en- tertainment furnished by this excel lent collection of vaudevilists. Not wishing to take any of the laurels away from the older performers, Baby May, in her cute little songs and i'm presentations, was considered by the audience as being almost the whole show" She is indeed wonderful lit tie miss on the stage and has promise of becoming great actress. To say that the mystifying trunk act had ev- erybody caught and at sea is only eX- pressing it in mild form. The same thing has been seen time and again. but never so clever as last night on account of the extremely short time required by the performer in liberat- ing his lady subject and concealing himself therein. The whole show from beginning to end was good and held the audiences close attention through out the entire evening. An entire change of program is promised for tonight, and if those who attend to- night see as good show as was given last night they will surely get their moneys worth

CLOUDS OBSCURE
 HALLEY'S COMET
TAIL TO SWEEP EARTH
NO INJURY WILL ATTEND NEAR APPROACH OF HAL
 IEY'S COMET.

Halley's comet crosses the earth s path tomorrow morning, between the earth and the sun, and will therefore be invisible to inhabitants of the earth.
 At 3 o'clock this morning Conway people missed their last chance of see ing the comet in the cast, because it was cloudy. Under ideal conditions, the tail of the star might have been seen just above the horizon just be- fore sunrise.
 Regarding the passage of the earth through the comets tail tomorrow, Di- rector Campbell of the Lick Observa- tory at, San Jose, California, last night out the following statement;
 "Halley's comet was 90 degrees long at daybreak Monday morning, both as photographed and as observed by the naked eye. This corresponds to length of 24,000, ,O00 miles. The nearest point of the comet was Il ,000,- GOO miles from the earth.
 Tuesday morning it will be nearly seven million miles away; Wednesday evening the earth will be passing through it's tail. The present diame- ter the tail at the point where the earth will pass is a little over 1,000,- 600 miles. The two bodies will have relative velocity of about miles per second and the time required for the passage, if the present dimensions remain unchanged will be six or seven hours.
 The earths atmosphere will form a perfect blanket protecting against all possible constituents of the tail There is absolutely no cause or excuse for anxiety as to the injurious effects upon terrestial life, animal or vegcta- ble'
 The comet will reappear in the west Thursday evening, and will present it's largest appearance to the earth. On account of it's setting, however, so soon after sunset, it's radiance will be rather dimmed.
 On Friday evening, perhaps the best view obtainable will be had if the weather man will only clear up the at mosphere, for the comet will be far enough away from the sunt to show a great brilliance. The moon at that time, will interfere slightly.
 The comet after the 26th of this month will begin to recede percepti- bly,, but it can be seen, it is thought, with the naked eye through the great CT part of June. It can possibly be located with the aid of a telescope un- til the latter part of August, or even later.

GOLD WAVE 10
 FOLLOW RAIN

The close advent of Halley's comet will not have the effect of warming up this portion of the ealth's surface to- night and tomorrow, in the opinion of the United States weather bureau. On the other hand, much colder weather, with frost in exposed places, is predicted for tonight. If a frost should occur it will be the latest on record in this section and will result III great damage While it would be a great surprise, this spring has been an unusual one in many respects, and frost tonight would be only another one of several unexpected weather conditions during the present season.

WARRIORS" HERE AGAIN
MEMBER OF ORGANIZATION DENOUNCED BY PREACHERS
 AGAIN IN CONWAY.

After an absence of about 10 days, a member of the Christian Volunteer Warriors an organization which was denounced by ministers of Little Rock as being unworthy of support, is in Conway again today. Two of the "Warriors" spent several weeks here recently, but left the city shortly after the organization had been condemned by the Ministers Alliance at Little Rock.
 Rev. Ben Cox was the chairman of a committee appointed in Little Rock to investigate the work of the Chris tan Warriors The committee re- ported that it had found that out of total of S264 collected by the Chris tian Volunteer Warriors only 10 per cent had been used for charitable pur- poses, but neither receipts or names of beneficiaries could be given. The books, the committee said, were very poorly kept. One charge the commit tee made, which is said to have been acknowledged by the Warriors, was that collectors sent out to solicit funds for that organization had been paid commission of 50 cents on the dollar for their services.
