MAGAZINE GETS "A

That Magazine will have electric light service twenty-four hours day in the near future is an assured fact. J. l.. Roberts of this city who is the promoter of the enterprise recently closed contract with Greenway < Harvey of Bonneville to furnish the power for the plant at Magazine.
 Work has begun on the line from Bonneville to this city which will fur nish the power. In conversation with Mir. Roberts, he informs us that the material has already been ordered, and that he expects to have every thing in operation by at least July l.
 Twenty-four hour service is great thing for Magazine. It will not only give lights throughout the residence section of the city, but makes it pos sible for fans and other electric con- veniences, much less the lights, to be in operation during the day.-Maga- zine Gazette.

JUSTICE REFUSES TO GRANT APPEAL OF AR
 GENTA SALOONISTS.

Washington, April 30.-Because the negroes of Arkansas have not raised the question of being denied consti- tutional right, the United States Su- preme Court has declined to pass up- on the constitutionality of the Going liquor license law. Associate Justice Willis Vandeventer, before whom At torneys Morris M. Cohn and Joseph w. House, Jr.s of Little Rock made their application to be granted an ap- peal from the ruling of the Arkansas Supreme Court, also ruled that the de- cree of the Arkansas court was not final because the case was reversed and remanded to the circuit court for trial. Messrs. Cohn and House rep- resent the firm of Topf &Wright of Argenta.
 The Little Rock attorneys who rep resented the saloon men in the appll- cation have returned home.
 Under the law an appeal could be granted by justice of the supreme court sitting in chambers, but 1t IS un- derstood that after a conference last ing for several hours with Associate Justice Vandeventer, during which

CONFERENCE MERCER
 UP AT OKLAHOMA CITY
GENERAL CONFERENCE TO PASS UPON PROPOSITION I'M
 PORTANT TO ARKANSAS.

The most important matter, so far as Arkansas is concerned, that will come before the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, which will convene at Oklahoma City Wednesday, will be the merger of the Arkansas and White Rive conferences of this state. Both conferences voted favorably to consolidation at their meetings last fall. but the action must be ratified by the general conference before 1t becomes effective. It is gen. erally believed there will be no oppo- sition to the merger in the general conference. The consolidated organi- zation will be known as the North Arkansas conference and will en- brace all the territory not included iE the Little Rock conference The lat ter embraces in a general way the southern half of the state.
 Faulkner county is situated at the junction of the three conferences, a part of the county being in the Ar kansas and a part in the White River conference, while the Little Rock con- ference comes up to the south side of the Arkansas river where that stream divides Faulkner and Pulaski coun- ties.
 Conway is honored this quadren- nium by having two of the six dele gates from the Arkansas conference. Rev. F. S. H. Johnston, presiding elder of the Morrilton district, is one of the clergical delegates, the other two being Rev. J. M. Hughey of Fore Smith and Rev. J. H. O'Bryant of Bonneville, both formerly of Conway. Dr. J. H. Reynolds, president of Hen- drix College, is one of the lay dele gates, the other being P. w. Furry of Van Buren. Both pr. Reynolds and Rev. Johnston left for Oklahoma City today.
 The general conference meets only every four years and it determines the policy or the church, elects its bishops and has general supervision over the entire denomination. Among the 314 fraternal delegates to the con- ference will be some notable men from all parts of the world. Among them will be pr. J. Yoshioka, who was edu- cated in this country and has been for twenty years head of a mission school at Kobe, Japan. Missions will be one of the principal topics and it is ex- pected that Dr. Yoshioka and Miss Lochie Rankin, the first woman mis- sionary sent to China by the church, will be the, principal speakers on the program.
