 A motion was then made by A. c. Martin that each member enrolled on the first night be authorized to re- ceive the name of any Democrat de- string to join, and turn the same over to the committee to be reported to the next meeting. The motion was unan- imously adopted.
 A motion was made to defer nam ing the club until the next meeting, until a larger attendance might be present. After some discussion this motion was voted down and the meet ing adopted the name of the Wilson Marshall Democratic Club of Conway
 It was, however, the concensus of opinion that said club should do all within it's power to promote the in- terest of all Democratic nominees for state, district, county and township offices, as we'll as labor for a great majority for the Democratic candi- dates for president, vice president and congress.

 Three small districts were consoll- dated, S10,000 schoolhouse built and transportation provided for the pupils residing at a distance. 1t did not fail to meet with opposition on the part of some, but the progressives won out, and now all are earnest advocates of consolidation.

CHILD LOST FOR
 ABOUT 40 HOURS
} YEAR 0LDSON OF (. SO0S
LIVING FOUR MILES EAST OF TOWN-FOUND BY O. L. HO-
 NEA THIS MORNING.

From Wednesdays Dany
 The three-year-old son of George SoOs, a Hungarian living about four miles east of town, strayed away from home Monday afternoon about o'clock and was lost in the woods for about 40 hours. He was found early this morning by Constable Oscar HO- nea in a cornfeld about three miles south of his parents home. The child, in company with an older brother, were going to the pasture after the cows and the younger child was told to wait at the gate until the COWS were driven up. Upon the older brothers return no trace of the child could be found. Search was at once instituted and soon the whole neigh borhood was securing the surrouno- ing woods and fields. Upon an- nouncement in this city last night that the child had not been found, fully 25 people volunteered and searched all night When found by Mir. Honea this morning, the child was in pitiable condition, his cloth ing being nearly torn into shreds and otherwise scratched and bruised all over. It is supposed he had been liv- ing on polkberries, as he had juice all over his face and clothing.

by the act of 1873 at per cent on the entire amount of premiums re- ceived, has not been paid by any of the companies sinnce 1880, which is as far back as we have gone in exam ming the records. The legislature of 1873 provided for the payment of these two kinds of taxes by foreign insurance companies, one a tax on property, and the other a tax for the privilege of doing an insurance busl- ness in this state. In 1875 the prop el'ty tax was changed, and instead of the property being subject to the gen eral state and county levies, levy of 2 1-2 per centum was provided. This latter act did not repeal the act re- quiring the payment of a privilege tax, because to construe it otherwise would be to exempt property from taxation, which is contrary to the constitution.
 The legal machinery of the insu- rance companies, which went through such q siege in the great antitrust war of 1899, is preparing to contest the payment of these back taxes to the limit. They contend that they do not owe the amounts sued for.

In a telegram from Congressman H. M. Jacoway late Saturday after noon he announced that Conway had been granted city delivery, of mail by the postoffice department. According to the announcement, the service will begin as soon as the matters of the appointment of carriers, etc., can be arranged. This will probably be about November 1.
 This announcement will be received by the people of Conway with great pleasure. 1t gives evidence of the fact that this city is making steady progress in business and growth in population.
 The regulations requiring the lay ing of certain amount of sidewalk, naming the streets and numbering the houses having been complied with some time ago, he people have been confidently expecting the granting of the service.
 Postmaster o. J. Owen will make strenuous efforts to secure two deliv- cries daily-one at 10 o'clock and the other at about 8 o'clock in the after noon.
 There are only IA towns in Arkan- sas having this service, all of which exceed Conway in population. They are Little Rock, Fort Smith, Hot Springs, Texarkana, Pine Bluff, Cam den, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Helena, Paragouldd, Jonesboro, Bates arkana, Fayetteville and Rogers. The receipts of the Conway office are exceeded only by those of Little Rock, Fort Smith, Helena, Hot ! Springs, Pine Bluff, Jonesboro, Tex arkana, Fayetteville and Rogers. The average annual receipts of this office for the past five years is $12,- 006.29. The receipts for the past year is S14,029.24.

From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
 Little Rock, August 1.-The most sensational suit fled against the in- surance companies of the state since Attorney General Jeff Davis attempt ed to oust the old-line fire companies from the state 13 years ago, has just been filed in Pulaski chancery court by Attorney General H. l.. Norwood and Assistant Attorney General w.. H. Rector.
 They have sued 88 fire, accident and miscellaneous companies for S2, 906,698.67 and against AZ life insu- rance companies for $1, ,329, ,913.0o, making an aggregate of $4 6,610.75 the state is asking in back taxes as far as 1880.
 There are only a few companies not sued, and suits will be brought against most of them later, with the exception of the home companies. Fly cry company that has been doing bus mess in the state for two years or more will be sued. The life compa nies are hardest hit. The largest amount sued for is $342, ,775.73, which the New York Life is asked to pay. The Equitable has been sued for $249,192.27, and the Mutual Life of New York for $264, 4,51791. The larg- est amount asked from any fire com pany is $9O, ,50682 from the Hart ford.
 The governor has appointed A. w.. Dobyns of Little Rock as special counsel to assist the attorney general in the prosecution of the suits. Speedy trials will be insisted upon by the state, and suits for back taxes have right of way over all other cases.
 In discussing the suits, the attor- ney general made the following state ment:
 'The contentious of the state are that all foreign insurance companies are annually liable for the payment of two species of taxes, one proper ty tax on it's gross receipts, less loss es and commissions, and the other a privilege tax on its gross receipts, allowing no deductions whatever. A great majority of the companies have paid the property tax of 1-2 per cent on a part of their net receipts. In paying this tax, however, large number of the companies in addition to deducting losses and commissions from their gross receipts, have also deducted returned premiums, reinsu- rance premiums, dividends, refunds and rebates. The state contends that these deductions were unlawful and judgment is asked for 2 1-2 per cent tax thereon.
