KANSAS CITY.-Twenty-three thou
n sand dollars had been stolen from
a hiding place on the river front near
the foot of ellis street. There's no
doubt the big robbery was committed.
The hole is there. You may see for
yourself. The snow had been scraped
away and the dirt thrown to all sides,
indicating that the robbers worked
hurriedly when they looted Frank
Wyant's cache near his home at the
foot of ellis street.
Wyant gave the first news Of the
robbery to Judge Porterfeld in the
Juvenile court the other morning
when he was up for failing to provide
shoes for his ten-year-old son, Jesse,
and to pay the boys board.

Before sending him away Judge
Goodnow paid tribute to Gustave

Here are some Of the records:
For nine years he has done abso-
Iutely no work. except what he was
compelled to do at the bridewell.
During these nine years his wife
and eight children provided him with

prevented a spread of the fire to ad-

When the alarm was turned in
the IRE which apparently originated

IN unusually quick time, however, the
ire companies had connected their
hose to the hydrants and with good
water pressure the fire was soon un.

The building was unOccupieG at the
time Of the fire and carpenters had
only the day before begun the work
of remodeling the interior for ten

place in short time. Insurance
amounting to $4,000 was carried on

fact, it will not be long before first

BOARD lENCTnfNS Term
SEPTEMBER 16 SET AS TINE TO
OPEN CONWAY PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
On assurances from the soliciting
committee that sufficient amount of
voluntary subscriptions will be raised
to Justify it, the board of directors
last night voted to increase the length
of the session Of the Conway public
schools from eight to nine months and
set Sept. 16 as the date for opening
the next session.
The president Of the board was in
structed to let contract to connect
the public school building with the
waterworks system and arrange to
supply the pupils with city water. A
large main will convey the water to
the building and fire hydrants will be
installed nearby. This, it is thought,
will effect a considerable reduction in
the insurance rates.
The board made some slight chang
es in the high school course Of study,
in order to get on more nearly uni
form basis. Alice Jones was elected
assistant teacher in the negro school.
The damage to the auditorium
caused by the fire last winter is now
being repaired and the build ng will
be in entire readiness for the opening.
Two new teachers will serve on the
high school faculty this year. They
are Sam II. Scott of Benton, who will
succeed w. F. Tate as teacher of the
eighth grade and director of athletics,
and Miss Mae Park, who will be IL
brarian and also teach some classes
in the crowded grades.

! NOON ING ADMINISTRATIONS
HAS MANY WEIGHTY PROB
LENS TO SOLVE.

Rogers, Sept. 4.-Secretary ot
State Hodges spoke here last night
and today is campaigning in Madison
county, speaking this morning at s..
Paul and tonight at Pette, ew. He
will make an announcement tonight
a PettigreN' tt at will be Of vital in
terest to the Confederate veterans.
He will say in part:
Il am going to ask some good men,
ber of the next Legislature to intro
duce bill which will provide that
hereafter each ex-Confederate soldier
or widow of an eX-Confederate SOL
der who is eligible to receive pen
sion from the state unedr our exist
ing laws, be allowed the sum of 500.
Seventy-five per cent of them are al
ready on the list for that amount,
which is the maximum amount they
can draw, and | want to see all Of
them properly cared for during their
declining years. | believe we should
take care of our heroes of the sixties
while they are living and let the an
gels take care of the dead"
At ST. Paul this morning he said in
the course of his address: The in
coming state administration should
receive the hearty support of the peo-
pie of Arkansas, because it deserves
such support. There are grave prob.
lens for the new governor to solve
and he wants your help, your advice
and your encouragement. The Dem
ocrats in primary election said by a
large majority that they believed Nr.
Robinson could and would solve these
problems for the people and in their
interest, and with the help of many
good Republicans they will make the
selection all the more emphatic next
Monday.
Speaking here last night, Mr.. Hod-
ges said: 1.-The State of Arkansas is
not broke and it will never be in that
condition unless our Republican
friends should happen to get things
into their hands once more. Our
state is in good condition. The Big
howl that has been made is on ac-
count of the general revenue funds
condition, but even that fund at this
time is able to sit up and take nour-
ishment-revenue levy is too low to do
what is expected of it. All general
expenses and the maintenance OF the
states institutions are paid from il.
The general state levy was lowered
eight years ago, and about the same
time new conditions demanded new
institutions. 1t takes money TO run
y government like ours, and so long
as the money is spent honestly, my
judgment is that the tax payer does
rot care how well our unfortunates
are cared for, nor how well our boys
and girls are educated
