COUNCIL VISITS ELECTRIC PLANT
NEW MACHINERY SEEN
ORDINANCE INTRODUCED TO RESTORE FORMER PLAN OF
 MANAGEMENT.

Following a short session of the 1 Conway city council last night, the
 members accepted an invitation of Supt. E. V. Leverett and paid visit to the municipal electric light and power plant for the purpose of in specting the new machinery installed and improvements made at the plant during the past few months. The great change for the better in the ap- pearance and equipment of the plant was revelation to some of the coun- cilmen who had not seen the plant
 recently. About $1O,O00 has been ex-
 pended in adding a new high-pressure
 boiler and 300 horsepower direct connected Corliss engine and gener-
 ator, which gives the system three complete power units, two of which each have capacity of more than double the present maximum load car ried and the smaller unit being availa- ble for the small load carried during the hours after midnight, when little current is being consumed. Perhaps the most striking improvement appar- ent to the visitor is the improved ap- pearance of the interior of the plant. Concrete floors have been laid throughout the power room and all the wires are carried in conduits un- der the floor, so that none are expos ed. The whole plant has been cleaned up and presents wonderfully i'm
 proved appearance. Supt. Leveret'
 was congratulated by the council or
 the work done recently, which proba
 ply enables Conway to claim the larg

Little Rock, Dec. 10.-The State Board of Health reports that last
 week Dr. W. P. Jaeocks made 64e ex. aminations in Faulkner touiity and found only four infections of hook

 At the regular session of the coun, cil an ordinance was introduced to re- store the plan adopted by the preced-
 ing council for the management of the water and light system by a commits sion of three members, elected by the council to serve for siX-year terms,
 the tern of one member expiring ev- cry two years. An ordinance very
 similar to this was passed by the council shortly before the present council took office. The latter at its first meeting repealed this provision and passed an ordinance providing for
 the management of the plants by a council committee to be appointed by the mayor. It is understood that the new ordinance will be passed at the next meeting of the council.
 Mayor Duncan reported the assess ment of fines amounting to S162 dur | ing the past month. Accounts amount i ing to S419.12 were allowed, of which

M'DANIfL FACING MURDER CHARGE BEEBE MARSHAL DEAD | FAULKNER co. MAN IN SEARCY JAIL AWAITING EXAMIN-
 ING TRIAL.

The death at Beebe Saturday of Marshal Harry Brown, as a result of wounds received when he was shot on November 30 by George Mcdaniel of Faulkner county, places charge of murder against Mcdaniel, which he will have to face in the circuit court of White county. Mcdaniel is now in Jail at Searcy awaiting a preliminary hearing. The Searcy Citizen says that he talks very little of the affair, except to deny emphatically any knowledge of the shooting.
 The report of the shooting was to the effect that Brown was attempting to arrest Mcdaniel on a charge of drunkenness and disturbing the peace, when Mcdaniel shot him. Two pistol bullets penetrated his body Brown was taken Tuesday of last week to Lit tie Rock, where an X-ray photograph of his chest was taken to locate the bull lets. The photograph revealed DOT tion of one bullet where 1t had struck and glanced off the back ribs, several of the ribs being shattered. The other bullet was located in the back just under the skin near the spinal column. On account of pneumonia, said to have developed as a result of blood filling the lungs, no operation for the removal of the bullets was performed. The in- jured man continued to grow worse until death occurred Saturday morn ing.
 Mcdaniel has a court record in this county, where he was born and reared and the result of his trial will be

MUCH ACTIVITY ON ST. JOE.
Lumber Camps and Mills Busy All tho
Time

Sheriff Thomas McCabe recently
made trip on official business to the
ST. Joe country, in the vicinity of Az
cry, on the Milwaukee railroad. He
states that there is much activity al
various points along the railroad. The
railroad company has a large crew
ballasting and removing the old rails
and putting down the heaviest made
for that purpose. The sheriff states
that the railroad company is handling
an enormous traffic.
There Is not much mining to be
seen," said the sheriff, though there
Is some small development back from
the railroad and some prospecting.
Much of 1t is country of mineral re-
sources"
Sawmills from St. Maries and along
the line easterly are very busy. The,
mill and timber business are of course
the chief things. There Is much ac-
tivity in the lumber camps.
Mr.. McCabe said there was talk that
the Milwaukee Lumber company would
finish it's work on Big creek whera the
logging railroad is operated this year

Aside from the lump sum he men
lions in connection with insurance in

Bryan deals In generalities, He inti-
mates that his present salary Is in
adequate. but does not say so In as
many words. Nor does he say any
thing about his income derived from
his various interests and his private
fortune. According to writer in the
current issue of the Saturday Evening
Post, the Bryan income conservatively
estimated, amounts to $4,000 a year
without lecture receipts. This same
writer suggests that stinginess and
grasping desire to hoard Is the trou-
BILE, rather than a shortage of income
But, as Mr.. Bryan says, he should

recent years that The Miner does not
approve, and 1t has not been slow to

IF President Roosevelt had sent

IF Theodore Roosevelt had made up

resigned, either under persuasion or

ITS PRACTICAL WORKING.
Beautiful Effects Of Ore Tariff Laws
Favorable to Other Countries.

The following item from Spokane
paper gives unmistakeabe evidence of
how other countries are watching
our proposed tariff Legislation and
how they expect to profit by our folly
and at our expense:
Zinc ore shipments from the SLOGAN
district this year have amounted to
1924 tons, according to reports, though
production has been held back to
await the expected changes in the
tariff on this side of the border. The
Lucky Jim sent out 1885 tons, the
Standard 1143 tons, the Van Roi 400
tons. and other properties smaller
amounts. The Utica property, listed
on the Spokane exchange until re-
Gently, shipped 40 tons last week to
