ligned, but always popular individu- als, Mutt and Jeff" we can cheer fully recommend you to the new play Mutt and Jeff in Panama" which will be the next attraction at the Grand on Thursday, November IS. Mutt and Jeff are to appear in an entire new production and one calcu- lated to make all their previous ad- ventures seem like the proverbial thirty cents. This time they are to hold carnival amidst new scenes and surroundings. They are sched- uled to foil the william and arch vil- lainess, indulge in escapades and mi raculous escapes, fit here and there and be as ubiquitous as their individ- ual natures demand. All of their trials and tribulations are invariably attended with happy results, if not to themselves at least to the audience. This time Manager Gus Hill has se- cured the services of Owen Davis to write the book and the jingles, tunes and other incidental music by Will H. Cobb and Leo Edwards. There are no dull moments and no chance for any lulls. It is action and plenty of it from start to finish, furnishing entertainment sure to find immediate approval in any environment. The supporting cast is all that could be desired and the entire production from a standpoint of excellence and stage mechanism is out of the con- ventional.

At The Theatres
THE ARKWAY.

"The Stranger" a two-reel Imp production will be the feature pie ture at the Arkway tonight. It is the story of a girl in love with Jack Ravens. On account of the financial condition of the family, her parents desire her to marry John Howard, a millionaire. She feels in duty bound to carry out the wishes of her parents so she consents to marry the man of their choice. Jack, upon hearing of her decision, leaves the country, after writing her note telling her she will never see him again. The story is very entertaining and contains many thrilling incidents.

CONFERENCE VETS
 FOR CONSOLIDATION
UNITE WITH WHITE RIVER
QUESTIONS UP FOR DECISION AT SAT-
 URDAY'S SESSION.

Eureka Springs, Nov. 15-The general conference of the M. E.. church, south, was memorialized by the Arkansas Conference here to per init the proposed merger of the Ar kansas and White River conferences into the North Arkansas Conference, when it meets next May.
 By vote of 54 to P the conference voiced it's opposition to the plan to change the name of the church to the Methodist Episcopal church of America.
 The sessions today are expected to be the most interesting of the confer ence. The liquor question will come up for debate and delegates to the general conference are to be elected. This election is always very spirited.
 Another important matter to be de- cided will be that of giving women a voice in the church councils. This has been referred to as a suffragette movement, but nevertheless it has created much popular feeling at this conference.
 Rev. c. E. Patchell, pastor of the Dodson Avenue church at Fort Smith, was placed on the supernumerary list today. H. L. Weaver and A. w.. Campbell of the New Mexico confer ence and elders, were received by transfer. J. M. Hailey, A. w. How ard, H. L. Wade, L. w. McTeague and w. M Warren were admitted with full connections. The confer ence sent a message of sympathy to Rev. E. R. Steel of Conway, formerly of Fort Smith, whose wife is i'll with typhoid fever.
 A resolution introduced by Rev. Henry Hanesworth of Paris, endors- ing the action of Governor Hays ln proclaiming a "children's day." was adopted. The resolution urges the people. ministers and others, to give the day full recognition with appro- priate services.
 J. E. Lark, E. Martin, Charles Sherman and Franklin Hamilton, travelling preachers, were made el- ders. They will be ordained Sunday.
 A meeting in the interest of the lavmen's movement was held yester- dav afternoon. An educational rally was held last night, pr. J. H. Key holds of Hendrix College being one of the speakers.

THE GRAND.

"The Banshee" is a two-reel of- fering with an Irish setting so real istic as to make the observer think he is in the Emerald Isle. The pigs and chickens and COW are in evidence. The plot centers about the cry of the Banshee. Dan refuses to have the baby christened, but in his drunken stupor has a vivid dream, which is worked out in the film. He sees his wife flee with the landlords hand some son, whom he follows and kills by knocking him off a cliff. Then the cabin is set frt to by the indignant neighbors. Finally the Banshee ap- pears before Dan and this brings him out of his dream.
 Also "The Song of the Soup" com edy, and "A Garden Party in Cali fornia," scenic, will be shown at the Grand tonight.
