Then the State Nor mbal at Conway will take another $20,000 for additional buildings. The University of Arkansas is entitled to large sums, drawing out an additional $20,000 today to put the treasurer on the right side of the ledger with the Fayetteville bank, which handles the university funds. It costs about $50,- 900 month to operate the state gov ernment, which makes another $25O,- 900 to be drawn from the general
 revenue fund by the first of the year. This leaves the legislature little to draw upon at the opening of the ses- sion and financiers now believe the first act to be passed will be one di- verting the sinking fund into the gen eral revenue fund in order that there may be something to be drawn upon.

DYNAMITE USED

THREE PRISONERS HURL FIX pLOSIVES AND ESCAPE AT

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat. l. Little Rock, August 10-Stealing a stick of dynamite from the Fox X Paxton rock crusher at Bigelow, Per ty county, where the Cunningham convict camp is working, three ne- gro convicts last night hurled the ex- plosive against the end of the stock ade car, immediately behind John LennoX, a guard, who sat on the plat form connecting the cars so that he could watch both doorways.
 Lennox was blown into the woods by the force of the explosion. His jaw was torn off and his injuries are considered very serious.
 Pomp Foming of Jefferson county, Andy Mckinney of Mississippi coun- ty, both serving sentences of 21 years each for murder, and Henry Franks, serving a five-year sentence for as- sault with intent to kill, all escaped before the other guards could come to the rescue.
 Superintendent J. A. Pitcock has of fered large reward for the capture of the convicts, but at noon today the men were reported still at large.

SUMMER RESORT
 LOTS ARE CHEAP
STATE HAS FEM FOR SALE
HUNDREDS OF FORFEITED LOTS CAN BE OBTAINED
 "DIRT" CHEAP.

Little Rock, August 10.-Want a good, healthy summer resort cheap? If you do, there is an excellent chance to pick out one at the office of c. c. Commissioner Coffman is now receiv- ing from the county clerks over the state the returns on lands forfeited for 1907 taxes, which have become state property again. All of these are in with the exception of Pulaski, Dal- las, Desha, Montgomery and Conway. They show much heavier delinquent cy than ever received before during the tenure of office by Commissioner Coffman. The state has now only about 250,000 acres of land to dispose of and it is going out quite rapidly. year the townsite of Mt. Mena, sum mer resort on Rich mountain near Mena, comes back again with scarce ly lot missing. In all there are 15O of the lots which are returned to the state because the tax of 62 cents per lot, assessed on a $10 valuation, has not been paid.
 This is not the first time the town site has come back to the state land commissioner, it having been paid out several times previously. The real big bargain in townsites, though, is Mt. Nebo property, near Dardanelle. There are over 1,500 lots in this lot which are all taxed $1.03 each and this amount per lot, with $1 for mak- ing deed, will transfer them to any one who desires them. The troubles of the Mt. Nebo townsite companies are not a few, which is demonstrated by the entire townsite coming back to the state through the delinquent tax route.

CONTINUATION FOR
 PULLEN IS ASKED

Little Rock, August 10.-Additional petitions for communication of the sent encc of Oscar Pullen, the self-confess- ed murderer of Lafayette Deloney in Little Rover county, were filed with Governor Donaghey Tuesday after noon and before the end of the week he will give a hearing to those inter ested in the case. The additional pc titions filed Tuesday bore about 300 names of people living in the counties adjoining Little Rover. An additional statement was filed by the attorneys, in which was the declaration Pullen could not have been convicted but for his own statements, and it is claimed the prosecution at the time agreed to recommend a communication of the sen tence. It is claimed this agreement was made in order to have Pullen as witness against Mrs. DelOney, who, though acquitted by the jury after Is hours of deliberation, is considered by many people of Little Rover county the more guilty of the two. With the courts and practically all the people of Little River county, where the crime was committed, asking for com mutation, it is thought Governor Don aghey will accede to the wishes of the courts.

SPLENDID RESULTS
 OF LESLIE MEETING
REV. w. T. MARTIN TELLS OF GOOD DONE BY REV. J. B.
 STEVENSON.

In a personal letter to Rev. J. B. Stevenson, Rev. w. T. Martin writes of the splendid results of a revival meeting recently held at Leslie by Rev. Stevenson. He says:
 Dear Brother Stevenson-We had a good day last Sunday, the first day in the new church. We received 35 into the church and had received two when you left, making total of 37 to date. I have the names of four more candidates and am sure that there will be four or five outside of these. I think there will be near 50 come into our church. Four have joined the Baptist church and the preacher said he thought there would be some others who would come into his church. The meeting did a vast amount of good. A young man said to me yesterday evening that you ought not to have left when you did, because there would have been much more accomplished. The people here all appreciate your coming and the preaching you did while here. They are all asking me if you are not com ing back in September to hold an- other meeting for us. Much strength has been added to the church by this meeting. A confidence has been begot- ten that our people did not have. Some of them were little scared about the Reflection because of the sale of the old property and the re- moval of the site of the place of worship. Pray for us. The field is a wide and fruitful one and needs very careful cultivation of which I hardly feel equal to the task. 1 think there will be q pretty good report to make to the annual conference. We are all well. Your friend,

NEW ORDINANCES
 ARE SUSPENDED
FRONT STREET LAWS
ARE PRACTICALLY REPEALED BL ACTION OF THE CITY
 COUNCIL.

After having been in force less than two months, two ordinances were practically repealed by the city coun- cil last night. The ordinances are the one condemning wooden awnings and the one prohibiting hitching ve- hicles for longer period than 15 minutes, on Front street. Injunction proceedings had been brought and a temporary injunction granted against the awning ordinance, while petition signed by practically every merchant and professional man on Front street, was presented, asking for the repeal of the "hitching" ordinance.
 Resolutions suspending the enforce ment of the two ordinances until fur ther action of the council were intro duced by Alderman G. D. Dickerson and were adopted by practically unan- imous votes.
 Alderman w. D. Cole, Jr., and Re- corder Opie Hartje were absent from the meeting, Alderman Frank E. Rob- ins being elected recorder pro tenn.
 Under a resolution passed by a unanimous vote, the railroad company was ordered to tear out tileing cul- vert on the west side of the right-of- way at the North street crossing, on account of it being insufficiently large to carry the water. Ten days from service of the notice was granted, after which the company is made lia- ble to fine of $l5 for each day it fails to remove the tileing
 The light plant committee reported the employment of A. H. Bingham as superintendent, at a salary of $l25 per month. The contract was approv- ed by the council.
 The monthly reports of the mayor and marshal were presented, the may or's report being approved and the marshaPs report referred to the finance committee.
 Accounts amounting to $221.63, re- ported favorably by the finance com mittee, were allowed.

The contemplated change in the Conway-Quitman mail route by stop ping the route at Greenbrier and SUD- plying Quitman and Enders from the north, will not be made by the post office department. Secretary Banner of the Board of Trade, which for warded a protest against the change, this morning received letter from the second assistant postmaster gen. eral stating it had been decided to make no change in the present routing of the mail to Quitman and Enders.

STATES FUNDS
 RUNNING LOW DEFICIT BUCABOO RAISED
LEGISLATURE WILL FIND LIT TILE IN GENERAL REVE-
 NUE FUND.

Little Rock, August While there is more actual cash in the gen eral revenue fund today than at any one time in the past two years, the same old bugaboo of an impending panic in the state treasury is arising and it does not take a mathematician of much skill to listen to the tales of past financial manoeuvers of the state to see very readily that the coming legislature will have to appropriate the $120,000 in the sinking fund be- fore anything will be on hand to se- cure the per diem and mileage, stamps and postage.
 When Treasurer Yates locked his vaults Tuesday night there was about S3,000,000 in the treasury, including cash, bonds and other securities. Of this amount about $500 ,000 was to the credit of the general revenue fund. There is still about $50 ,000 to come in from the six collectors of the state who have not made final settlement. Sheriff B. L. Roberts of Pulaski coun- ty yesterday afternoon filed his final statement and paid in the remainder of the $206000 the state collects from this county. This made a material increase in the state funds.
