The Executive Committee Hard at Work Endeayoring to Secure the
 Enterprise.

A meeting of the Executive Con- mittee of the Manufacturers League was held in the Directors room of the Bank of Pine Bluff Saturday afternoon.
 Chairman Goldsmith called the assembly to order and stated that the meeting had been called for the 1trpose of considering a letter that asne Secretary had received from Col. Wallace A. Downs, Secretary of the Continental Match Co.
 Secretary Tankersley read the let ter, which was a mostfavorabie one, and showed that it was the intention of the Continental company to put in a plant in Pine Bluff. if our people would only be partially as liberal in raising a bonus as other cities are.
 The company asks a bonus of S5.0 .000 and a site of five acres. So far only the site and about S3 ,000 has been raised, and on account of a number of our largest property own CTS refusing to subscribe, the EXecu- tRge Committee believes that the 5000 can not he raised.
 On motion the Secretary was in- structed to notify Col. Downs that a building site and $3,500 would be guaranteed his company if it would establish and operate a match facto- " here.
 The meeting, after discussing a few minor affairs, adjourned

A Pretty show Window

One of the most unique attractive show windows ever seen in Pine Bluff is that of the Anderson-Meyer Drug Company. 1t is an advertisement of Easter dyes. The window repre- sents a grassy plat of ground on which is a lovely lake, at the edge of the lake is snow white dove drink ing from 1t. In another part of the grassy plat is q unique little chicken coop in which is hen with brood of young chickens. The chickens are all colors, pink, blue, black, spotted, red and stripped. They were Easter chickens, and so, of course, must have been matched from Easter eggs. The window is such novel and pretty one that every person stops to admire it.

A Lucky Find.

Police officer Wiley Goode is in luck and so is Mr.W allace Wilburn. Satur- day afternoon the officer was stand ing on the corner of Main street and Third avenue when he saw boot black pick up something that looked like pocket book. The officer walked over to ascertain what it was and discovered that it was a pocket book. He took possession of the property and discovered that the old, worn out book contained $110. Chief Peterson not being in the city at the time, MT. Goode turned the money over to Mayor l.. E. Gold smith until it's owner could be found. In the book was found the name of Wallace Wilbur, and it is doubtless his property. Mr. Wilbur lives on the Cady place, above the city. He is to be congra tulated on recovering his money, and he will doubtless handsomely reward the officer through whose instrumentality he will get it back.

ONLY A DRAW.
Payen Not to be Credited With His
Victory over Muller.

Payen Not to be Credited With His
Victory over Muller.
The Pacific Amateur Athletic Associa-
ton has decided that the four-round bout
which was fought between Payen and
Muller in Sacramento last month was a
draw. -Four rounds constituted the
amateur limit, and when these had been
boxed Payen was clearly in the lead and
should have had the decision.
But the judges wanted to see little
more of the exciting work, and they
ordered a fifth round, which was equiv
alent 10 saying that in their opinion
neither boxer had the better of the other.
Muller's friends. however, refused to
let him box another round on the ground
that the amateur rules did not permit
more than four rounds, SO they claimed
a draw.
The judges then awarded the trophy to
Payen, but their decision has been upset
by the Coast Amateur Association.
Between his friends and enemies Payen
has been playing in bad luck. Since the
fight with Muller he bested Carter, the
San Francisco Olmyplc crack welter-
weight, but was robbed of his victory.
Heis beyond doubt the best amateur well
ter-weight III the State ,and should be well
supplied with diamonds and medals, bul
has them not.

PITTYPAT AND TIPPYTOE.

All day long they come and go
PittyDat and Tippytoe;
Footprints up and down the hall,
Playthings scattered on the floor,
Finger mRks along the wall,
Telltale smudges on the door
BY these presents you shall know
Pittypat and Tippytoe.
How they riot at their play,
And dozen times a day
In they troop, demanding bread
Only buttered bread will do
And that butter must be spread
Inches thick with sugar, too,
And I never can say mo,
Pittypat and Tippytoe
Sometimes there are griefs to soothe,
Sometimes ruffied browS to smooth;
For Q much regret to say)
Tippytoe and Pittypat
Sometimes interrupt their play
With an internecine spat;
Fie for shame to quarrel So
Pittypat and Tippytoe!
Oh, the thousand worrying things,
Every day recurrent brings,
Hands to scrub and hair to brush,
Search for playthings gone amiss,
Many wee complaint to hush,
Many a little bump to kiss:
Life SENS one vain fleeting show
To Pittypat and Tippytoe.
And when day is at an end
There are lttle QuQS TO lnenU,
Little frocks are strangely torn,
Little shoes great holes reveal,
Little hose but one day worn
Rudely yawn at toe and heel.
Who but you could work such woe,
Pittypat and Tippytoe
Eut when comes this thought to me:
Some there. are that chiidess be-
Stealing to their little beds.
With a love | cannot speak,
Tenderly / stroke their heads,
Fondly kiss each velvet cheek.
God help those who do not know
a Pittypat and Tippytoe!
On the floor and down the hall,
,Rudely smutched upon the wall.
There are proofs in every kind
OF the havoc they have wrought,
And upon my heart you'd find
Just such trademarks if yon sought;
Oh. how glad | am 'tiS SO,
Pittypat and Tippytoe!

pretrv Polly I'm 81 I7ix.

a Snowman at the fair possessed a
beautiful parrot, which accompanied him
everywhere on his peregrinations
through town and country, and excited
the admiration OF the gaping crowd by
its capital imitation OF the showman's
voice and tones when inviting the public
tc step into the booth. One day the
faithless creature broke its chain and es-
capped into a neighboring plantation.
Soon number OF men and boys were on
its track, but before they had gone far.
they heard u loud noise caused by the
screeching of birds in the wood. On ar
irving at the SPOT whence the sounds pro-
ceeded, they found poor Poll perched on
the withered branch of tree, bereft of
most of its feathers and surrounded by
flock of screeching crows that were
mercilessly pecking at it with their
beaks. Notwithstanding this pitiable
state of affairs, the crowd of seekers
could not refrain from laughing as they
heard the poor victim scream out at the
top of its voice: zone at q time. gentle
men, Don's crush SO, please! Take your

Comment on the Manner OF Making

(From the Marysville Democrat.)
If the State Board of Railway Commits
sioners were sincere. and desired 10 ac-
complsh results beneficial TO the ship
pers, they did not show 1t in the action
taken. ! Instead Of proceeding OH the lines
contemplate. uu tie Constitution and the
laws goyeruiiI. s.0n, they have under
taken 10 GO that which cannot in the
opinion OF prominent jurists be main
tanned in the courts. 4 corporation has
rights under he Constitution and laws of
the State the S.ljae an individual, and
these rights should be respected, oven
though the political parties do demand
unreasonable pledges OF the nominees in
convention.
y corporation that has been permitted
to construct n railway, canal or any
other thoroug hfare for the transportation
Of freight and passengers cannot be arbi-
irarily deprived OF the right to earn
reasonable compensation while operating
it. Nor do the people desire to have
these common carriers crippled by the
ar rbltrary exercise of authority. They ask
only that Just and equitable rates be es-
tablished that the transportation lines
may earn a reasonable amount and re-
ceive profit on the Investment, and that
without reference TO the past history OF
its operations.
This the courts have declared is iust
and right, and they Will do so again when
called upon to decide the present case.
There are a number of precedentS to
prove that the courts will refuse to sus-
tain the com mission in tho arbitrary re-
duction which they have made. Not be-
cause they have ordered reduction, but
. because of the manner in which it was
done. Then the action will prove to be
fasco, the shippers will not have been
benefited. but the people will be obliged
to pay large sum 10 the attorneys, who

TEE NABOB SEASON Is NOW OPEN.
And a Fresno Paper is Shooting
at Them.
1t Might as Well Train Its Weapon
on the Moon and Look
for Results.

Now it is the Fresno Expositor that
loses it's head and displays its ignorance
in TRADE against the game law. 1t says:
ut opens the game season month
earlier Tor the nabobs than it does tor
anyone else to shoot game that may be
taken to market, there to be purchased
by people who like game but do not like
to kill it,"
The law opens the game season on the
18th Of October for everyone alike. 1t
does not say that only market hunters
shall not sell game until a month later
it says that nobody shall do So If this is
not general enough, what in the name OF
common sense does the Fresno paper
want?
The papers reference to the "nabobs"
recalls an incident in the Grant Presi-
dental campaign OF 1868. Henry Edger-
ton, then making his home in Vermont,
returned to California to stump the State
for Grant. Platts Hall in San Francisco
was packed with people to hear the great
orators opening address. In the course
Of his speech Edgerton referred to the
silly charge of the Democrats that lew
Repu Dlican leaders were growing wealthy
by monopoliZing the Government Donus,
and then he produced facts and figures TO
show that great portion OF the unta1e ed
bonds were held by servant girls and other
poor people throughout the country.
Then Edgerton turned partially about,
nd as if addressing a batch of these SER
want girls, he shouted, "Get out. you
bloated bondholdersW The Fresno
papers reference to "nabobs" IS no less
ridiculous, since the truth is that there
is about one rich man in thousand or
those who go atield and through whose
influence the game laws are framed. The
average nabob does not worry hlmself
much about game laws-it is the poor
men to whom the people OF the State are
indebted for game protection.
Three years ago one wealthy man dld
come to the front in an endeavor TO have
the Legislature enact game law that was
framed in the interest of the rich, but the
Record Union and the very class OF clti-
zens who framed the present excellent
law throt.led it in short order.
For once California has game law that
is abreast of the times, and the fact that
occasional iuries refuse TO find verdicts
against confessed violators OF the law
simply goes to show that-as has always
been the case-juries are sometimes COM
posed of very queer material.
