MANY Will USE
ELECTRIC CURRENT

Although the council light plant
committee had anticipated that the
operation of a day current of cleo
trcity would not prove profitable for
the outlook at present it will begin to
get on paying basis within very
short time. The intensely hot wealth
er has caused a big demand for cleo
trio fans, and nearly every business
house in the city will have them in
operation just as soon as they can be
installed. j. Frank Jones and Jesse
Lincoln have formed a partnership
to deal in electrical appliances of ev-
cry description and have already sent
in to the factory a big order for fans,
for which they have been given con-
tracts to install. County Judge j. A.
Lea has ordered two big fans to be
placed in the circuit court room, and
they will be ready for use when court
convenes here next month. They will
undoubtedly prove a great boon to the
court officials and jurors during the
hot weather.
Besides the fans, the indications are
there will be large amount of cur
rent used for power purposes. The
Conway Printing Company has or
dered two motors, a four-horse power
motor for the presses, folding ma
chine and paper-cutter, and one-half
horse power individual motor for the
linotype machine. Billiards. planning
mill, several of the blacksmith shops
and the Arkansas Farmer office are
also contemplating installing electric
power. Frauenthal & Schwarz, in ad-
dition to installing several fans IN
their store, have ordered motor to
operate their freight elevator.
The new electrical supply house is
also expecting to sell great many
electric smoothing irons and other
household devices. The smoothing
irons have proved to be very popular
where they have been tried, costing
but little to operate while doing away
entirely with the necessity of fire to
heat the irons.
Although it will not be possible to
have everything in readiness on Au-
gust |, the committee in charge of the
plant has decided not to postpone the
beginning of the day service. There
has been a little delay in the shipment
of some meters to be installed in the
business district, but these are expect
ed to reach here in ample time to be
installed where needed.
Many of the consumers in the resi-
dence section have requested that they
be furnished with day service before
October |, the date fixed by the COM
mittee, but is will probably be impos-
sble to get the necessary amount of
wiring and installing of meters done
much before that time.

LIQUOR CASES
ARE CONTINUED

The cases against 10 Knox, Law
Knox and Isaac Aaron, on charge Of
selling liquor, was continued this
morning on account of the absence of
Gene Garrett, the prosecuting wit
ness.
Knox and his wife and Aaron, who
are all negroes, were arrested Satur-
day night by Constable O. l.. Honea
and Marshal w. f. Clbourne on war
rant issued by W. T. Wilson. Consta-
BILE Honea for some time has been en-
deavoring to secure testimony on
which to make arrests for whisky sell
ing, which it is said has been carried
on rather extensively amongst the ne
groes in Conway lately. On last Sat
urday Mr.. Honea found Garrett with
a pint of whisky, which Garrett claim
ed he had bought from Knox and his
wife, and Mr.. Honea then had war
rants issued for Knox and his wife
and Isaac Aaron, who lived with
Knox.
The case was set for trial this
morning at 10 o'clock, but Garrett
could not be found, and the case was
continued on account of his absence.
In the meantime Mr.. Honea is making
every effort to locate his missing wit
ness.

FEMALE ROBINSON cRUsoE
French Woman Who Lived Alone for
Two Years on the Isle Of
Demons.

The Isle of Demons. off the coast Of
Newfoundland, was the scene of ro-
mance as thrilling and a tragedy as
real as any told in fiction. About the
year 1910 one Marguerite de Roberval.
niece of the French viceroy, fell in
love with young cavalier and prom
sed him her heart and hand. Her
uncle. the viceroy. considered the
youth unworthy of his niece's proud
position, and. angered by her refusal
to give up her lover, passed a SEN
tence of exile on both of them. A yes
sci carried the couple to the isle of
Demons leaving them there with an
old nurse. who had attended the Lady
Marguerite from her childhood. and
who wished to share her exile.
AT first the banishment did not
seem so dreadful thing. The young
mans strength stood between his wife
and suffering. and for two years all
went well. A child was born. and the
parents began to plan for the estab-
lishment of colony which might
thrive in this island home.
Then came trouble. swift and ter
rible. Disease fell upon the little fam
ily. and the young wife and mother
saw her husband child and faithful
nurse all sicken and die With her
own hands she dug their graves and
buried all that was dear to her and
then began a life alone, a life in which
the mere question of existence be-
came problem hard indeed for a
frail woman to solve. By means of
the gun that had been her husbands
she kept herself provided with food
and with skins for her clothing
For two years she lived Robinson
Crusoe life. this gently-bred girl. once
a boat filled with Indians came near
the shore. but the painted faces and
herce aspect OF the savages fright
ened her. SO that she hid instead of
hailing them. She spent weeks of Ia
Dor in making a crude canoe. but her
hands were unskilled. and when she
launched her craft. II would only tip
over. At last she was rescued by
some fishermen who ventured on the
island. half frightened at first by what
they thought was an evil apparition-
Marguerite was sent to France. but
her uncle discovered her whereabouts
and continued to persecute her. She
finally found refuge In a small
French village. where she hid until
the yiceroy's death. After that she
came into the world once more and
lived TO a good age.-New York Press

ELECTRIC FAN IN KITCHEN
Useful Either to Blow Fresh Air In
war; or Craw Bad Air
Outward.

The ordinary use Of the electric
fan, especially in the kitchen of the
household, often is limited in sum
mer time for the reason that win
dows are open and the stirring Of
the fan invites inward rushes of air
that dampen the ardor Of the mod
en gas fame
A novelty in this line is a small
fan, placablc at a window only
slightly raised and which at touch
either will blow fr~-h air inward or
draw the exhausted air of the kitch-
en- out of doors. Many good cooks
and housewives overlook the enor-
nous quantities Of oxygen that are
needed to keep half a dozen gas
burners going. In the cold of win
ter, where the temperature of the
kitchen is comfortable, suddenly the
occupant recognizes a sense of suf-
location not traceable to the heat.
1t comes of the exhaustion of the
fuel oxygen in the room. Suddenly
to raise a window high up, a draft
that is cold and which probably
flickers the gas flames is uncomfort-
able. 1t is here the electric fan,
driving the exhausted air through
an opening in the window, brings
the fresh air in from a dozen crew
ices.
