GRANTS CONDITIONAL
PARDON TO ]. R. PETERS
IF TEN PER CENT OF NEIGH
BORIS so PETITION, HE WILL
BE RE-INCARCERATED.

Little Rock, Oct. "a most I'M
usual condition was attached to the
pardon of DR.. John r. Peters of
Crawford county, granted by the gov
ernor Friday afternoon. 1t was rep
resented to the governor that the pc
tition for the pardon contains the bo-
nafide signatures of more than 80 per
cent of the residents of three town
ships surrounding the home of the ac-
cused.
The pardon is "issued with the I'M
derstanding that in the event more
than 10 per cent of the residents of
the said three townships shall sign a
protest against his release, he shall
be re-incarcerated in the state peni-
tertiary to there serve the term of his
sentence; and on the further condition
that he shall remain within the Dor
ders of the state"
Peters was convicted at the fall
term, 1911, of carnal abuse, the prose
cutting witness being a young girl,
Della Smith, daughter of a deceased
friend. He was sentenced to 81 years
imprisonment and his sentence was
affirmed by the supreme court.

FAIR PROSPECTS
BRIGHTEST EYER
EXHIBITS ARE POURING In
HORSES FROM DOZEN DIFFER
ENT STATES ENTERED IN
i RACING EVENTS.
From Saturdays Daily.

from Saturdays Daily.
That nothing except continuous
downpours of rain can prevent the
fourth annual Faulkner county fair
from being the greatest in the history
of the association, is the opinion of
everyone in anyway connected with
the enterprise. The advance entry of
exhibits today has by far exceeded all
previous records for the Saturday pre-
ceding the fair. From early morning
exhibitors have been crowding into the
downtown headquarters and the fair
grounds Offices, bringing with them
hundreds of specimens for display in
every department. Last year only
one or two entries were made during
the week preceding the fair" said
Manager King this afternoon, "but
this year we've already got enough to
make a pretty good showing-and it
isn't a circumstance to what will be
here Monday"
at the fair this year. Heretofore on
account of the limited number of thor
oughbred entries the races have not
been entirely satisfactory, but there
will be no trouble on that score next
week. The liberal purses offered by
the association hare attracted horse
men from nearly dozen different
states, and it is already an assured
fact that every race on the program
will be filled. Manager King this af-
ternoon received telegram from a
horseman at Charleston, ILL.,, stating
that carload of his racing stock
would arrive Monday. Two other en-
tries, one from Dodge City, Kan, and
one from Buffalo, Okla, were received
in today's mail, these being in addi-
ton to the large number which have
been booked during the past 10 days.
The management decided today, on
account of receiving a large number of
requests to do so, to continue the sale
of season tickets for one more day,
and they may be obtained at the local
banks and drug stores Monday at the
the same price, $50, for all four
days and nights.

Adopting the suggestion Of Treas
urer G. w. A. Wilson of the fair as
ISOLATION, every mercantile house in
Conway with the exception of the
drug stores today signed an agree
at o'clock each evening during the
fair, in order that the employees
might attend the fair at least at
night. Those signing the agreement
were A. E. Livingston, Conway Pro-
duce Co., Piercey & Sons, T. R.
Douglass & Sons, Cole & Co., Grum-
mer Hardware Co., Frauenthal &

This action of the merchants, taken
for the first time since the fair has
been organized, is only one of many
indications of a greatly increased in
tereSt and prospective attendance at
the fair. Manager King said today
hundreds Of entries had already been
made and prospects are>every depart
ment will be more than doubled in
number and variety of exhibits.
On account of the great increase in
the number of race horses entering,
the management has been forced to.
build about 20 new stalls, and there
will be at least 80 thoroughbred
racers seen on the track during the
fair. The track has been put in
splendid condition and some unusual
ly fast events are anticipated.
The amusement features at this.
fair will be far ahead of anything at
any previous fair, according to Man
ager King. Some of the finest travel
ing shows ever appearing in the state
have been booked, and there will be
noticeable absence of cheap, inferior
attractions, such as have sometimes
appeared in the past. The riding de-
vices will include, in addition to the
numerous swings, merrygorounds,
ETC., a $4,000 ferris wheel
The sale of season tickets will be
continued for only one more day
Tickets are going fast, and those who
desire to take advantage of the re-
duced prices should be sure to pur-
chase them tomorrow.

noticed in the advance models displayed
in the taffeta gowns with the lace petit
coat effect.
The new drapery is to be noticed, for
there are many new effects. Unfortunately
there is marked tendency to the double
skirt or even triple Hounced fashion, but
nothing is done to give the effect of too
full draperies, nothing to make the wearer
look large. The skirt caught up at the
side or cut shorter in front or at the side

chiffon or fold of velvet is quite original,
although in description it may not sound
so. Even the waists are now draped, and
the folds are caught up with buckle or a

With the first warm days of spring they
will disappear, but even now the velvet

the velvet gowns have been extremely
simple, but the latest designs have quite
a lot of trimming; braid is greatly ia

has also met with the greatest success
and there are two or three most noticeable
models just turned out by the best de,
signers. Simplicity, that costly and most
difficult to attain simplicity only to be
found in gowns that are masterpieces, is
this season noticeable in the velvet
models. One model has a long plain
skirt and equally plain waist so fash
toned that it seems as though the ma
terial were draped to the figure, so closely
does it cling. and yet without the toe
scant effect that has marred many of the
most beautiful of the late designs. The
sleeves and upper part of the waist are
