dermanH Hutchins offered an ordinance es-
tablishing the salaries of the city officers
for the year beginning March 18th next.

or, etc., $125O; city solicitor, 5000; city

Secession of OakdaIe.
Alderman Hutchins called the atten-
tion of the city government to the fact
that the movement for the annexation
of Oakdale to the City of Portland
was attaining such proportions as to de-
mand serious attention. If the city was
worth preserving at all it was worth pre-
serving entire. He thought the matter
ought to have immediate attention.
Alderman Mitchell said that since the
last meeting of the government he had
found that the movement was extensive
in that ward, and that some of the most
influential citizens had signed the pc
tition. He had tried to start a remon-
STRANGE among the citizens of the ward;
but had not been very successful. He
thought there should be a general re-
monstrance from citizens of all portions
of the city.
Mr.. Nevens offered an order that the
Mayor and Aldermen Hutchins, Mitchell
and Jacobs be committee to look after
the city's interest in the matter of the
proposed annexation of Oakdale; with
authority to employ snch assistance as
may be necessary. This order was
passsed unanimouSly.

Marie Wainwright.

When three such famous people as Wilkie Collins. Augustin Daly and Marie Wainwright combine to pro- duee an entertainment, something far more than ordinarily brilliant, amusing and exciting may be reas- onably expected. Such an entertain ment will be offered at the opera house, on Tuesday Nov. 2. Wilkie Collins wrote Man and Wife" one of the most absorbing and exciting tales ever conceived. Au9ustin Daily q master of stage-craft dramatized it and Miss Wainwright and her splen- did company, headed by Barton Hill, Louise Muldener, and Nathaniel Hartwig, will act it. There is little cause to wonder at its phenomenal success.

How About Ite

Yesterday Mr. Boss Owens stated publicly that last night he would opeu his gambling rooms on the first floor in the rear of the Hotel Tru- lock, and that if he were closed up by the authorities he would see that every gambling house in Pine Bluff should be closed also. 1t is reported that Mir Owens did open his gamb- ling rooms and so were all the others in the city in regular running order. Mayor Bell issued an order some time ago that gambling would not be permitted nor allowed on the first floor Mr. Owens violated this order, hence the sensation today in gambling circles. Mayor Bell is out of the city and it is not known just how the affair will result.

Absolutely Given Away.

The DAII.Y GRAPHIC has decided upon plan by which the boys can make with very little labor a snug sum for Christmas money The de- tails of the plan can be found in an other column. To the person who will get up the largest list ofmonthll subscribers for the DAILY GRAPHIC before December2 g, we will pay 5000 in gold To the person who will get up the second largest list of sub scribers, we will pay $5.00 in gold; for the third largest list, $250 in gold, and for the fourth largest list, $1.00 in gold.

 The GRAPHIC also believes in en- couraging boys to work and make money, and in order to give the boys a chance to spend happy and merry Christmas, we offer $lS.50 in gold for the four largest lists of subscribers.
 Here's rare chance for the boys.
