something of the situation in the car
Ontario was forming itself in my
mind: the incident at the farmhouse
lacked only motive to be complete.
Was Sullivan, after all, a rascal or a
criminal? Was the murderer Sulli-
van or Mrs. Conway? The lady or the
tiger again.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion OF the ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness. and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inhamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal co1dl-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever. nine cases
out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an innamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

LAND OWNERS 10
 MEET IN MARCH

Little Rock, Jan 1.-The formal call for the land owners convention will be issued on January 3, and the date of the convention will be March 23. The movement of land owners of the state to meet in state convention in Little Rock during the early part of the coming year was started before the holidays by Judge E. R. Ratterree of this city, the object being to advertise the resources of Arkansas, and pre- pare statistics showing the area, char acter and price of the land now on the market that can be had by homseek- CTS.
 There is greater inquiry now for information about Arkansas than ever before, and very heavy immigration is pouring into the state.
 The coming convention will devise a general and comprehensive plan GOV |ering the entire subject.

LUDWIG FOR CONGRESS
FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF FORMER CONWAY
 CITIZEN

The Log Cabin Democrat today prints the formal announcement of Secretary of State o. C. Ludwig for Democratic nomination for congress- man from the Fifth district, subject to the action of the Democratic pri- maries on March 30 Mr. Ludwig needs little in the way of introduction to the people of this town and county. Many who now read this paper were subscribers to it during the several years that he was it's editor That he has at all times been a strong friend and booster of Conway and Faulkner county, none of his opponents will de- ny, and, recognizing this fact, Faulk- ner county has in the three times Mr. Ludwig has been before the people as a candidate for q state office, each time given him a handsome majority.
 Although not an orator. he has the ability to make an effective congress man, as oratory counts for little in the national house of representatives. He is well acquainted with the processes of legislation, and would doubtless look after the interests of his district to the best of his ability.

MASKED MFNROB
 VANNDALE BANK

Wynne, Jan. 1.-The Bank of Vann- dale at Vanndale, six miles north of this city, was robbed by masked men last evening at about 8:30 o'clock of S2,900 in currency. W. E. Reichardt, cashier, was in the bank at the time preparing his cash for shipment to St. Louis, when some one knocked at the door. Answering the summons. he opened the door, to be confronted by a masked man with pistol, and the cashier was ordered to face the wall in the corner of the building which he promptly did. As the cash was on the counter in piles it was on. ly moments work for the men to take it and quietly leave the bank. Mr. Reichardt does not know how many robbers there were, as there was no talking done.
 Immediately after the robbery telephone message was sent to Wynne for Sheriff Rolfe, who at the time was in Memphis. Deputy sheriffs were sent to the scene of the robbery, and when the sheriff returned from Mem phis he brought bloodhounds with him, but so far they have found no clew.

STATE NEEDS DONACHEY
MAGAZINE WRITER SAYS HE SHOULD BE RE-
 ELECTED.

Since the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, there has been more politics than busi- ness in the governors office at Little Rock, until George w. Donaghey en- tered the office. Since then politics has been relegated to the rear and as near as Donaghey could, under the pressure of other officials, who still are trying the game of politics instead of busi- ness, he has devoted himself in his characterictically practical way to the solution of the problems of the public buisness.
 He has done this actively, energetic ically and honestly. He has so far made splendid administration of the affairs of the state. His past life gives assurance that he will continue so to the end of his present term.
 But we need him for another term. The politicians really need him, too, being Arkansas citizens, but their per verted minds say they do not want him. So he is to have opposition for the next term.
 Who could have been made to believe that c. c. Kavanaugh could have been led to believe that it was either eXped- tent or possible to beat Donaghey he- fore the people of Arkansas for next term? 1, for one, am astonished.
 But maybe, as it will likely cost him nothing to run eff the bills are paid by others) he may find it pleasant pas time to run against a true gentleman like Donae.oy. tn nt that deep dowl in MT. Kavanauen's heart, h" feels .,nd up in the do'na of his intel !icence he knows, it wruld he disas- ''cus at this iui cure to replace Don aghey with any one else.
 But the good part of it is that by far the majority of the voters know this, and that is better.

SCHOOL BOARD
 RET|RES A BOND

The board of directors of the special school district of Conway today paid out the sum of $1, 500 to Halter Broth CTS, retiring a S1 1000 bond and paying '$10,000 which were issued as second mortgage bonds to s. M. Apple as part payment for the construction of the new public school building, and afterwards transferred to Halter Brothers. The bonds bear six per cent interest, one maturing the first of January each year.
 Although the school board has been compelled to pay out about $1 ,000 more than was anticipated during the past year in laying sidewalks, furnish ing the interior of the building, etc., the district is in good financial condi- ton, and President Jo Frauenthal of the school board states that the dis trict will end the present fiscal year without having to draw more than $l 300 or $2,000 from the funds to be collected from the taxes of 1909. The district has frequently been further behind than this before the new building was erected, and with the increased revenue caused by the gain in the recent assessment, the financial prospects of the Conway dis trict are as bright as could be hoped for

DROUGHT HITS
 THREE COUNTIES

Newport, Jan. 1.-The old year was rung out last night with the clang of cash registers in the saloons of Jackson county, but the new year was not rung in in the same way. New port and the whole of Jackson county is today as dry as the proverbial bone, all on account of the unexpected re- | ligious experience of of an eX-bartend- CT, H. s. Simmons, who is now county judge.
 A month ago Judge Simmons an- nounced that he having recently been converted to the Baptist faith he could not conscientiously grant licenses for liquor another year, and the licenses all expired at midnight last night. Among the saloons closed is one be- longing to the judges brother.
 The saloons have been preparing for several weeks to close and have been selling off stock and fixtures as rapidly as possible.
 Texarkana, Jan. 1.-The new year opened here for the first time in the history of the city of Texarkana, Ark, with a drought, as to intoxicating liquors prevailing. It is doubted that Texarkana will ever become ''wet" again, following the victory of the ''drys' last week in the long-drawn- out three-mile petition case.
 Pine Bluff, Jan. All saloons in Jefferson county outside of Pine Bluf are today closed mad barred never to open again during the administration of County Judge James Gould. He has refused to grant license to saloons isolated rom police supervision. While 'ie rural saloons have been closed for TWO years, under Gould's administra- 2on, it was reported that application would be made today to reopen some cf the places.
