CHICAGO, Nov. Beginning next
Sunday, and continuing daily, new
train will leave Chicago at 6 p. NJ. for San
Francisco, and make tho journey twelve
hours quicker than any regular train now
running between those cities. The train
will be over the Chicago and Northwest

in q little over three days, the train arriY-
ing in San Francisco at S:45 p. N. the third
day. This journey VIII 90 made without

points, Vice. President Hanrahan Of the
illinois Central Will Lot refuse 10 enter
the ranks, although one Of the long-cher-
shed rights OF his road has been refused
him by the other lines. For long time
the Illinois Central in similar traaio
agreements has enjoyed the exemption
OF certain part OF the territory, reserv-
ing to itself the privilege OF making about
what rates it chose within this exempted
territory This privilege will no longer
be granted, the other lines holding that
an agreement is practically worthless
without it binds all alike. The Union
Pacific will probably not offer any serious
objections, although it has held back
slightly on the proposition to enter any
agreement TO which all its competitors
are not parties. /. has been pointed out,
however, that so per cent. of the CaIifor-
MIA business. which Is the real basis of
the controversy, is carried by the Union
Pacific and those of its competitors which
are actually members of the new associa-
lion, and this, it is believed, will cause a
harmonious adjustment OF ali troubles.

THE BANK OF PINE BLUFF,
Annual Meeting of stockholders officers
and Directors Elected For
Ensuing Year.

Probably no banking house in
the State enioyes the confidence of
the people in its immediate vicinity
to a greater degree than does the
Bank OF Pine Bluff, which, by the
way, is one OF the most substantial
financial institutions in the South.
Since it's organization in 1899 it's
bushes has steadily increased until
today it is greatly in advance OF
that OF any previous YEAR in its
history.
The bank is controlled by a body
OF men whose names are Synonymous
with integaity, commercial skill and
financial prosperity, and its officers
for years have stood in the van of
all progressive enterprises that have
given to Pine Bluff her present posi-
ton in the commercial world.
Yesterday afternoon the regular
annual meeting OF the stockholders
of the bank was held for the purpose
OF electing a Board of Directors and
transacting such business as might
come before them. The directors
elected were as follows: Thos. S.
James, j. NJ. Oracle. w. d. Hearn,
J. S. Mcdonnell, j. w. Sanders, w.
b. Howell and w. FL. Parker
Immediately after adjournment
OF the stockholders meeting the
Board OF Directors held session
and elected the following officers:
Thos. s. James, President; j. NJ.
Oracle. Vice-President; W. d. Hearn,
Cashier.
These names will be recognized as
the ones which, during the past
year OF financial depression, so
successfully guided the Bank through
the shoals and quicksands OF finan-
cial disaster and have, with unerr-
ing skill and business sagacity,
placed the bank in the very front
rank OF sound and solid financial
institutions.

A GREAT THING
1t Procures the Shortening of a Sentence
of a Federal Prisoner.

1t will be remembered that W G..
Overstreet, about three years ago.
was a reporter for the Pine Bluff
Commercial. Shortly after he came
here he Joined the First Methodist
Church, and expressed the hope that
the Christian people OF this city
would render him moral aid and
help him to overcome the Demon
Alcohol, which had him in its grasp.
The love of drink had been the bane
OF his life and by 1t he had lost many
lucrative positions.
For several weeks after he eame

young man, and did splendid work
for his paper. The temptations sur
rounding him, however, were too
strong and he fell by the wayside.

his position and after remaining here
until he could get no more stand
Offs for alcoholic beverages, he left
for Memphis. There, through the
influence of friends, lie secured Il posi-
ton on one of the daily papers OF
that city. He could not master his
love for liquor, and one day after be
ing on a prolonged spree, he stole Il
postofIlce order for a small sum from
an acquaintance, aud committed
forgery to get it cashed, that he
might get money to continue his
spree. He was apprehended, tried
and convicted before the United
States Court for the crime. The
Memphis Commercial Appeal of yes
terday has the following to say Of
Overstreet, his history and crime:
1.-The two-years' sentence of w. G..
Overstreet, who was convicted in
che United States Court here at the
last term for tampering with the
mails has been shortened to one
year.
This was secured through the
influence of friends in Kentucky, who
stand close to the powers that be,
and obtained executive clemency.
"Overstreet is of one of the best
families in Kentucky. His mother
is connected by blood to Lebanon
families who have national repu-
tation, 1t was through these that
the sentence was shortened. His
father, DR.. Overstreet, was leading
citizen OF Hardin County, Ky. He
was killed, and trouble drove young
Overstreet to drink. When started
in this line the downward read was
easy. 1t is said of Oyerstreet that
at one time he was the most capable

State. He was editor OF the
