BOY TRAMP IS
KILLED BY train
From Wednesdays Daily.

Fred A. Shearin, 19-year-old boy
of Wan, Okla, was run over by south
bound freight train No. 157 south Of
the College avenue crossing last night
about 7:30 o'clock, both legs being sew
cred near the knees. He was picked
up by the train crew and taken to the
office of DR.. |. N. McCollum, where
'Drs. McCollum, C. H. Dickerson,
Owen Hayden and f. T. Williams per-
formed an operation in an endeavor
to save the young lads life. He died
three hours later while on the operat-
ing table.
The lad was on his way from his
home to Little Rock, where he intend
ed TO get employment. He had beaten
his way to this city, but when he at
tempted to board the freight as it was
leaving the local yards, he slipped and
fell beneath the cars.

FAIR CATALOGUE
Is GREATEST EYER
Big EDITION PUBLISHED
FIFTH ANNUAL FAULKNER
COUNTY FAIR CATALOGUE
is OFF THE PRES.

The first to be issued for the year
and largest and most complete ever
published in the state is claimed by
Manager J. A. King for the fifth an
ty Fair Association, the first copies q
whic hare being distributed today.
Four thousand, one hundred copies
have been printed of the catalogues,
which is a volume of 152 pages. Is
sued nearly four months before the
fair opens, ample time will be given
for thorough distribution and a
close study of the premium list by the
farmers of the county.
The list has been greatly strength
ened throughout, the premiums in
creased, and the special premium list,
consisting Of prizes offered by busi-
ness men, is decidedly the most at
tractive ever published. Another new
feature is the addition of boys cotton
clubs and girls canning clubs to the
we'll known boys corn club work. In
the latter 500 mare colt will be the
first prize, a $500 Jersey heifer sec
ond prize and registered pig the
third prize, while five other registered
pigs, a breech- loading shotgun, a tar
get rifle and four fountain pens are
also listed as county corn club prizes.
In addition to this, all competitors will
be entitled to compete for many valu-
able state and district prizes.
Another new feature is a township
contest, in which 500 in gold is the
first prize. All townships in the coun-
ty, except Cadron, will be entitled to
enter and exhibit of the various pro-
ducts and articles on which premiums
are offered, and the one making the
best showing will win the prize. Of
course, all entries in the township con-
test will also compete for the individ
ual prizes.

BURGLARS VISIT

SPENDfBUSY NIGHT HERE
NO CLUE TO THIEVES WHO EN-
TERED RESIDENCES ALL
OVER THE CITY.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
At least II residences in Conway
were entered last night by burglars,
who confined their efforts to looting
the trousers of the male occupants of
the residences and got away with
booty ranging from five-cent piece
to watch valued at SIS and about
500 in money Residences reported
to have been burglarized were those
of A. l.. DeArmond w. NJ. Cady, W.
d. Cole, G. w. Bruce, J. E. Little, J.
B. Greeson, DR.. J. w. Teas, w. F.
Eatman, w. H. Duncan, Sam He'll
gers, Isaac n. Reynolds and Amos
Halter, these houses being in various
sections of the city.
The largest haul was made at j. b.
Grees6n's, who suffered the loss of a
valuable railroad watch and about
$50 in money. A single nickle re-
warded the burglars search of Sam
Heiligers' trousers. No jewelry is re-
ported missing at any place. A gold
watch was taken from Col. Bruce.
Local officers are searching for the
thieves, but state they have no trace
of them. 1t is believed that at least
three men participated in the robber-
les, as three spicious-looking men
were seen early in the night.
That so MANY houses could have
been entered on a bright moon-lit
night without arousing the occupants
or being detected is considered re-
markable.

GREAT FUTURE Is
SEEN FOR HENDRIX
DONACHFY TELLS PLANS
THINKS 1T WILL NOT BE Diff
CULT TO RAISE $35O,OOO
FOR COLLEGE.

Little Rock, June 18.-"Hendrix
College is to be the leading education
al institution in Arkansas" declared
Former Governor George w. Dona-
ghey on Wednesday afternoon, land
the election of DR.. John H. Reynolds
as the president is the first step on
campaign to increase the endowment
to $500,000 and erect buildings to cost
not less than $150,OOO in five years.
There is no doubt in the world but
that We will do this, for we have the
men behind the institution who do
things and will not recognize defeat.
I'm addition to this we will erect
a memorial building to the late w. w.
Martin of Conway, which will forever
keep his memory green in the minds Of
the patrons of the institution. Capt.
Martin stood by the college when it
needed friends, and his funds permit
ted the institution to keep going until
an endowment of 100000 was raised
and the college relieved from debt.
What sort of memorial building this
will be is to be selected later by the
board of trustees.
"The last Of the subscriptions on the
100000 endowment will be paid this
year, and Hendrix then becomes a very
stable institution. The fact that it
has such large endowment will cause
men who desire to make bequests to a
college in Arkansas to devote their at
tention to Hendrix. We have quite a
number of such men in sight, and they
are men who are able to do such a
thing, and men who have before looked
into the proposition but found no in
ducements offered by Arkansas insti-
tutions sufficient to attract their mon
ey. Hendrix is one of the very few
colleges in the state that is out of
debt and this is going long way to-
ward the upbuilding of the institution.
1t is not such hard matter to raise
$3.50 900 for endowment and buildings
if you go about it right, and that is
our first intention"

PRE-NUPTIAL SHOWER.

Mrs. w. M. Harrell gave a miscel-
laneous shower Saturday afternoon
for Miss Mabel Legg, whose marriage
to John Paul Giles of TeXarkana will
be solemnized on next Wednesday at
the home of the bride on Robinson
avenue. The beautiful home on Cald-
well street was artistically decorated
in pink and white. The guests were
met at the door by Master Dan Har-
rell and little Miss Dora Mgon, and
in the hall Mrs. Harrell and Miss
Legg welcomed the guests. From a
table beautifully decorated with
greenery Miss Irene Harrell graceful
ly poured punch.
A floral contest proved TO be quite
amusing. Miss Gertrude Wilson
Waco, Tex) was winner of first
prize, a lovely hand-painted vase fill
ed with beautiful roses, and Miss
Bess Thompson drew the consolation,
a box of hand-embroidered handker-
chiefs.
Following the contest Miss Legg
was seated in a chair, whose decora-
tions carried out the color motif, and
above it was suspended large Japa-
nese umbrella filled with gifts for the
bride -to-be. At the appointed time,
the hostess pulled ribbon and the
guest of honor was showered with a
most beautiful collection of gifts. A
buffet luncheon, consisting of ice
cream and cake in pink and white,
was served. Mesdames G. S. Brown
and J. M. Ligon assisted the hostess
in dispensing hospitalities.
