sion of Jews from Russia is going on
at a rate wholly unprecedented in

sudden campaign against the Jews is
believed to have had it's inception in
a report that Jews are in a plot
against the government.

tions are that another departmental

Two Men claim Woman.

Night Officer Billy Shear was called
upon to act as arbiter in an unusual
controversy one night this week. It
seems that a woman who had been
working in the Greek restaurant on
East Alta street took advantage Of
an opportunity to become a wife and
was married. Nothing was said to her
employer who was evidently under the
impression that the woman was his
wife, for when she failed to show up
for work, the Greek sought the service
of the night officer to locate her.
While he was endeavoring to explain
his contention to the officer, the wo-
man and her recently acquired hus-
band, came along and the play was
on. The Greek endeavored to per-
suade the woman and the officer that
she was his wife, while the woman in
sisted that she knew who was her
husband and this honor she bestow-
ed upon the second man, to whom lie
prize was finally awarded.

ASSESSORS NAMED
 BY CITY COUNCIL
FOR WATFRWORKS DIST.
BOA RD R E. PORTS PLANS AND EST1MAT-
 ED COST OF SYSTEM.

Another important step toward the installation of a waterworks system in Conway was taken last night, when the city council received a report from the board of improvement of tLe wat erworks district, accompanied oy plans and an estimate of the cost of the proposed system, and the council elected w. B. Wilson, J. H. Bailey ard J. H. Hartje as a board of asses sors to assess the cost of the i'm provement against the real estate of the city.
 The estimated cost of the system, according to the engineers report to the improvement board, which is pub hshed below, is 7,S00. This amount the assessors will apportion to each lot or tract within the district, as 1t may appear to them to be benefited by the improvement. Their assess ment is subject to revision by the city council, and the board of i'm prcvement will decide in how many annual installments these bene..s are to be paid by the property owners.
 The assessors were elected by unan- imcus vote, on the recommendation of the improvement board, which is com posed of To Frauenthal, G. w. A. Will son and B. L. Harton. None of the assessors elected have been officially notified of their election today, and none would state definitely whether or not they would accept the appoint ment, though it is believed all of them will consent to serve.
 The report of Engineers Dickinson X Watkins, which was submitted by the board to the council, is as follows
 Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 23, 1910. To the Board of Improvement, Water
 works Improvement District of
 Conway, Conway, Ark:
 Gentlemen-W beg to submit the following report on the proposed wat terworks system for the city of Con- way:
 Source of Supply-Three possible sources of supply were considered, namely, deep wells, the Arkansas river and Cadron creek. We found that ten deep wells had been drilled along the north side of the Arkan- sas river, between Little Rock and Denning (two of the deepest in your neighboring town, Plumerville) and in no case was water found in any quantity. The geological formation here is such that there is no water strata and with your limited amount of money it was deemed best not to experiment with deep wells. We at tach hereto the analysis of the Ar kansas river water and also the an alysis of the water of Cadron creek.

V7VV VI Respectfully, DICKINSON & WATKINS,
 Engineers By Guy A. WATKINS.

All members of the council except Alderman W. D. Cole, IT,. were pres ent and the session was an unusually harmonious one, unanimous votes be- ing cast on every proposition. Aside from the action on the waterworks the council provided for the payment of the balance of the old indebtedness due the banks by the light plant, amounting to $767.86 and for the new boiler for the plant, costing $1 ,428.70. On the recommendation of the finance committee, the warrants for these claims were made payable July 1, 1911, in order not to embarrass the city treasury until another years rev enue is available.
 Accounts for sidewalks laid for de hnquent property owners by c. w. Jones, under contract with the may or, were paid in the sum of $359.1S. These accounts went over from the last meeting, in order that the finance committee could measure and check up the work, which the committee found correct. The recorder was in- structed to place these accounts in the hands of the city attorney for collection. Other accounts for street work and salaries, amounting to to- tai of $167.12, were also allowed
 A petition from citizens in the western part of the city, asking that the ditch in that section be opened up and cleaned out, was referred to the improvement committee, with instruc- tions to grant the relief requested
 Chairman c. D. Dickerson of the street committee offered a resolution authorizing his committee to employ a sidewalk inspector at salary not to exceed $2 per day, and the resolu- tion was adopted.
 Mayor w. H. Duncan reported he had assessed fines amounting to $20 since his report made two weeks be- fore.

These analyses were submitted to Drs. Dickerson and Westerfeld mem bers of your board of health, and they both pronounce the water of Cadron creek to be better than that of the Arkansas river. As this is then the best water available for the Conway supply, We recommend it to your board and have based our plans on its use.
 Pump House-The pump house will be located on the east bank of Cadron creek about one quarter of a mile north of the Iron Mountain railroad at Gleason station. It will contain two pumping units, capacity of each 389,O0O gallons per day This water will be passed through an Sx20 foot horizontal pressure filter with bac- teral efficiency of 97 per cent. All suspended matter visible to the naked eye will be removed, leaving the water clear and sparkling.
 Transmission Line-A transmits sion line from your city electric light plant will furnish electric power to drive the pumps.
 Supply Line-The supply line from the pump house to the reservoir will be eight-inch pipe, and from the res ervoir to town will be ten-inch pipe.
 Reservoir-A concrete reservoir will be located on the ridge between Cadron creek and Conway. It will hold about three days consumption and will be so arranged as to be emp tied and cleaned without disturbing the supply of the city. It's elevation will give a pressure over the entire distribution system of 70 to 80 pounds.
 Distribution System-The distribu- tion system covers practically the en- tire town, with the exception of the undeveloped district. The mains are ten-inch, eight-inch, siX-inch and four inch, and CT two-hose fire hydrants are so placed as to give ample fire protection. Attached is a map show ing location of pump house, transmits sion line, reservoir, supply line and distribution system.
 Pipe-As the price of cast iron pipe for system of this size prohibits the use of that material, We have thor oughly investigated the merits of steel-banded, wood stave pipe, and have found it is giving excellent re- suits in a great many of our Ameri- can cities. For your information IS attached a partial list of users of wood pipe, with some letters we have received from towns where 1t has been in use for many years. We have found it to be well adapted for use in waterworks systems and recommend it to your board.
