 fNOANCfRS MEN

Jim Roseman was cut about the head and slightly hurt and several other workmen narrowly escaped death or serious injury when portion of the second floor of the burned Douglass block on West Oak street broke down and crashed to the ground late yesterday afternoon. A force of men were at work tearing down the walls of the building, when the floor gave way. Two men were on the floor when it fell and one was work ing directly underneath it, but all escaped without serious injury.
 T. R. Douglass, owner of the burned structure, is removing the walls so that they will not be dangerous to adjacent property or passers-by. He says he has no intention of rebuild ing, for the present at least.

RETURN
 SURE OF VICTORY

Little Rock, June 17.-Practically all the Arkansas delegates and vis- itors to the National Democratic con- vention, returned to Little Rock Sat urday morning in a most enthusias- tic frame of mind Something they were told at the convention filled them with enthusiasm of the effer- vescent kind, and they are real free with the information. even without being asked, that Woodrow Wilson will serve four years from March 4, 1917, as president of the United States.
 The Republicans came back, the Progressives at sea and rather de- jected, and the stand patters defiant but none of them came back spilling it all around that they were sure of victory. Never did set of dele gates return so cock sure as the Dem ocrats who have been the most of the week in love feast.
 The delegates really believe what they say, and stand ready to prove it in the very best way known to man or beast-by wagering their hard earned coin. Beyond that truly no man can go.

The papers were read to two members in the quarters of Gov. c. w. Hays in the state capitol.

FORMER HENDRIX PRESIDENT SPEAKS
 - &'e.i gi GzK AT MINISTER'S SCHOOL Bishop Francis J. Mcconnell of Den yer to Deliver Three Sermons
 Here Sunday.

Dr. Alexander Copeland Millar of Little Rock, editor of the Arkansas Methodist, the official organ of the Methodist Episcopal church, South in Arkansas, and former president of Hendrix College, this morning favored the Ministers Conference at Hendrix with an unusually interesting address on "Homely Hints for Preachers. ;" Dr. Millar's address followed the de- votional exercises, led by Dr. Ivan Lee Holt of Dallas, Tex, prominent fig ure at the conference.
 The address by Dr. Millar dealt with the duties of the preacher in the pulpit, in the home, on the street and in his dress, and with what is ex- pected of him. The speaker urged the ministers to not dress conspicuously, nor to try to initiate preachers who nave gained great notoriety. He said he believes Billy Sunday is doing an excellent work as an evangelist, but that few preachers are able to make a success employing such methods. The preacher is a professional man, Dr. Mlllar stated, and should keep in violate the trusts and condolences placed with him.
 Dr. Millar's address was declared by many to have been one of the most interesting and helpful given be- fore the conference.
 pr. Stonewall Anderson followed Dr. Millar on the program, talking on "fhe Motives and Aims of Christian Missions to Non- Christian Lands" The address was we'll received.
 This afternoons session opened with an address on "The Courage of Character" by Dr. Ivan Lee Holt of Dallas, Tex, a member of the faculty of Southern Methodist University. Following Dr. Holt's address, former Governor George w. Donaghey of Little Rock, former president of the board of trustees of Hendrix, deliver ed an inspiring address on "The Pull pit from the Viewpoint of the Lay man."
 Tonight at 8 o'clock Dr. Holt will conclude his series of addresses at the First Methodist church, on "The Prophets of the Old Testament" I" speaking on Ezekiel.
 Bishop Francis J. Mcconnell of Denver, Colo, who arrived in Conway this morning, will deliver three ser mons tomorrow at the First Metho- dist church, speaking at II a. m., and at 3 and 8 p. m This is Bishop Me Councils first visit to Conway How ever, much has been said from the pulpit concerning his work, and it is expected that the large auditorium of the church will be filled at each of the services tomorrow.
 The subject for the morning hour will be Christ as a Redeemer." In the afternoon the bishop will talk on "Christ's Doctrine of Religious Ger tainty." Tomorrow night he will de- liver an address on Mexico" dealing with the present crisis and character istics of the Mexicans. Bishop Me Councils jurisdiction includes a DOT tion of Mexico, and he has just re- turned from visit to that country, where he made a close study of the situation.

SOUVENIR BOOKLET
 OF CITY PLANNED
RESOURCES OF CONWAY
To be Set Forth in Handsome Pam- phlet Instead of Log Cabin Demo-
 crat Special Edition.

At the suggestion of number of the leading business men of Conway It has been decided instead of issuing | a special edition of the Log Cabin | Democrat as was announced a few days ago, to publish an illustrated pamphlet setting forth the resources and advantages of the city and county. Although preparations for the special edition were well under way and not single business man to whom the matter had been presented had de- cllned to be represented in it, both the Log Cabin Democrat management and G. s. Meyers, who had been secur ed to compile the matter for the edi- ton, readily acquiesced to what was apparently general demand for a more elaborate and ornate presenta- tlons of Conway and surrounding ter ritory.
 The book will not contain so large an amount of matter as was being compiled for the special edition and most of the "write-ups" of local busi- ness institutions will have to be omit ted. but 1t will carry more of gen eral nature pertaining to the city and county. Care viii be taken that the articles in the publication cover every phase of the city's activities, interests and resources. The pamphlet will be printed on a highly y-finished book pa per, bound in handsome covers. and will be copiously illustrated, the uual- ity of the paper making it possible to use much finer cuts than could be run Tn newspaper.
 The book will consist of 32 pages or more and cover, 7 by 10 inches in slze. Several thousand copies will be printed, the most of which will be sent out by the Board of Trade in re- sponse to the many inquiries being daily received from people of other states desiring information about Con- way. A large number will also be placed in the hands of the agricultur- al departments of the state of Ar kansas and the Iron Mountain railway to be sent out in answer to similar requests; copies will be sent to each member of the 1917 legislature, to selected lists of ministers and educa- tors throughout the state and to every newspaper in Arkansas.
 MT. Meyers will supervise the work of compiling the matter for the pub lication and will solicit funds to pay the cost of getting it out. After look ing carefully into plans for the pam phlet Secretary c. L. Banner of the Board of Trade has given it his hear ty endorsement and every business man in the city to whom it has been suggested has indicated a willingness to aid in publishing the pamphlet. It will appear in about three weeks, ac- cording to the present plans.

Hoff Sister. Meeting
With Marked Success

The friends of the Hoff family in
Watertown and vicinity will be in
|terested in learning Of the success
Which marks the musical career of the
|Hof girls who went to Boston a year
or SO ago to pursue a special course
in music. Miss Elizabeth Hoff for sew

Others We're teaching or finishing
their school courses.
There is reproduced below several
of the notices which these young la
dies have received at the hands of
the press, all of which will be read
with more than usual interest by the
many friends of these charming young
women-Misses Elizabeth Amanda.
Violet, Charlotte and Shown.
The Chronicle of Brookline, Mass,
under date of February 26, referring
to a musicale at Mrs. Weeds, says
"a very brilliant and delightful mu-
steal program was rendered by the
five Hof sisters, vocal and instrument
tai artists. Their vocal quartets were
especially worthy of mention, among
them being '~Schubert's Serenade' and
The Last Rose of Summer which
were enjoyed for their artistic inter-
probation. The violin solos rendered
by Miss Shown, Miss Charlotte at the
piano. were .Beethoven's Minuet in
G. and 'Renard's Berceuse.' These
were rendered with a great deal of
style and sweetness"
The Boston Globe and the Boston
Herald both speak of the .Hoff sis
tiers as artists of superior merit, in
reporting various entertainments in.
the city.
A Woburn Mass.) paper, referring
to a forthcoming event, says: THE
|Hof Sisters, who are to sing and play
Tuesday evening, have not lived in
'Woburn long and therefore are not
generally known. They are, however.
very talented and will present a fine
program. They have played on sew
eral occasions IN Boston, their last
appearance being at a concert at the
Tuileries. They will be assisted by
Miss Evangeline Weed, reader"
They have appeared in the First
Congregational Church of Woburn,
which was organized in 1912, and whose
pastor is Rev. Stephen A. Norton, D.
d. The Church Calendar, issued by
this church, in its issue of February
90, refers to the part taken in the
previous Tuesday evenings program
by the Hoff Sisters, and in the issue
of February q pays them this com
pliment: Thanks are due all who
gave so freely of time and means to
make the annual fair so successful.
The rooms were most beautiful; the
supper was all that could be desired;
the people were in their best mood;
the entertainments were of a high
class. The Misses Hoff charmed all
with their sweet music and gracious
presence"

Tn my address to the republican convention two years ago l stated that however justified an Increased tax might be in principle, 1t was exceedingly unfortunate that the democratic party had been driven to resort to its imposition in time of peace. The several states have nearly exhausted the field of taxes. The federal government can tax anything. So far as possible the field of taxes occupied by the states should not be trespassed upon by the federal gov ernment. Many of these taxes are in- equitable, unjust, discriminatory and oppressive, but the democratic party has been compelled to resort to them else to impose new obligations upon the government by issuing bonds

Unless the usurpations of the execu- tive are checked and the backbone and courage of the national legislators gre strengthened by support from thelr constituents at home, the action of the legislative branch of the eov- ernment will shortly become merely the reflex Of the will of the executive The crying need of this country today is men in congress who will stand bv their honest convictions even if thai course shall cost them their offices
