EDITION
 WELL RECEIVED

So well received was the special Conway edition of the Arkansas Dem- ocrat yesterday morning that every copy was sold out by the publishers only few hours after it was off the press, and Secretary George R. Brown of the Little Rock Board of Trade telephoned here this morning and ask ed that 100 copies of the papers sent here be reserved and sent to him to De distributed.
 The edition, which was prepared by J. Frank Keeley, consisted of 10 pages, handsomely made up and il- lustrated by unusually good cuts, with the front and back pages illum- mated in red ink. Practically every business firm in the city was repre- sented in it's advertising columns and the schools, churches and various en- terprises of Conway were well treat ed. The accuracy of the many differ ent "write-ups" is to be especially commended, as it is extraordinary for an out-of-to paper to handle so many facts and figures with so few errors.

To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed; to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kid ney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hun dreds of Conway readers.
 Mrs. Joseph Cross, Church street, Morrilton, Ark, says: '1 am sure that no one has ever endured more misery from kidney complaint than l. My back was so weak and painful that for weeks 1 could not straighten. I often had dizzy spells and at such times had to catch hold of something to keep from falling. My feet and ankles sometimes swelled to nearly twice their natural size, and l was also bothered by a frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions. l was treated by six physicians, but none of them seemed to understand my case. felt myself sinking lower and lower every day and became alarmed I had about given up hope of ever be- ing cured when friend advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. l did so and the results of their use were far beyond my expectations. My health improved rapidly and today l have no

RAPID PROGRESS
 ON NEW CAPITOL

Little Rock, May 9.-The old adage of What is worth doing, is worth do- ing we'll" is being applied every day on the new state capitol. Through the change in plans, when those pre- pared by Architect Cass Gilbert were accepted, hollow tiling took the place of solid partitions, and little metal lath is required in the building. What lath was put in by the old contractors was so rusted in a short time it was ready to drop out when the work of tearing out the defective work began. That little metal lath that is to be put in the building now is being pre- pared to prevent any rust at all. A big vat filled with pitch has been plac- ed in the basement, and into every piece of metal lath used is allowed to soak for 12 hours before being used. The small iron rods are also dipped, but they go into vat of red metal paint which coats them in a manner to prevent any rust. The work on the capitol continues with a rush and this week will see a great deal more of the metal work for the stone dome in place.

Lovers of good singing and funny jokes will have a treat if they attend the performances of this team. They will present the best single acts ever seen here and will change the program each nighht. Remember the best show ever offered in Conway for the money.

DISEASED CONVICT
 RECEIVE PARDONS

Little Rock, May Ex-Governor Donaghey will probably today issue pardons to seven cripples who are burdens on the state, being confined in the pententiary without chance to get well or do bit of work which would partially pay for their board. There are four negroes and three whites in the number. The negroes were brought up from the farm Sat urday in order that all might be pho tographed and thus let the people of the state see Governor Donaghey was not pardoning criminals who could work by the wholesale. A. Ferguson, Union county, and Harry Andrews, both negroes, are hopeless cripples. Marcus Bailey, St. Francis, negro, is in the last stages of tuberculosis. Randall Williams, St. Francis county, is blind. Sam Yancey, white, is the same. D. H. Daphron, white mur- dere, from Montgomery county, has dropsy. Governor Donaghey says these men will not live long enough to commit crime again. and it will be a considerable saving to the state to get them off it's hands.
