 This and Adjoining Counties.
Every City and County Officer and Every Professional and Business Man Should
 Be Represented.

TIE GRAPHIC, always to the front in enterpfising journalism, will shortly publish complete epitome of Pine Bluff and Jefferson county. Pine Bluff has grown in the past few years; strangers have Hooked in on all sides, and professional and business men are unknown to many of their neighbors. The strangers do not know them, and the strange men are unknown to the old citizens
 TIE GRAPHIC will introduce them make one acquainted nith the other, and place all before the people In q light that will cause them to be known. to feel friendly toward each other and be treated kindly ny them.
 To accomplish thls great good, and b." this means to benefit the en- tire community, we will issue grand special edition of THE GRAPHIC. The extra edition will comprise 7.500 copies and il paper will be sent to VANiA N1Ati VI ONnNISOll 1AlHhlNs d6 near as practieable The balance will be sent to potians of the coun- ties of Cleveland, Dallas, Grant, Lin eoln. Drew and Bradley. The edi- ton will be prepared in a manner and style that will attract attention and compiled in such a way that one and all will be eager to peruse it's columns and grasp the inform ation contained therein.
 To be thoroughly complete it should contain a brief mention of every county and city official, each member of the bar and medical fra- ternity, and, in fact, every profes- sional and business man in the com munity and cont ".
 It will certainly afford one and all decidedly rare opportunity for our merchants to reach the people, and all of them at that.
 Of course TIE GRAPHIC expects to make some money out of the enter prise, (We are not here altogether for our health1. but the amount we may make will be but q bagatelle alongside the advantages of such an edition to Pine Bluff and Jefferson county Few cities, indeed, have as many public spirited men as Pine Bluff. Let it be said, "she leads. , never follows, and thus show the outside world that she now occupies the top round of the charlottesville best city in the State.
 This special edition will be pub llished in the course of n few weeks. Mir. Hal David, he well-known and expert Texas descriptive writer, whose reputation in this line has become national, has been secured by TIE GRAPmc to do the work. He thoroughly under stands the business and you can rely upon any statements made by him to be facts. The many favorable comments by the southern press passed upon I,..n bespeaks the char acter of his work for TIE GRAPHIC. He will be assisted by Mr. Frank Smith, a gentleman of large expe- rience in this line. It is sincerely to be hoped that every man who pos sesses the least particle of home en- terprise will join the movement. By means of this edition we will accom- plish good that could not be done in years by any other method. Let all join and help the good work to an excellent ending

Shall we have street cars or 10 cars? That's the question.
 Whether tis better to wade through the dull, dreary mud of winter or the dry and disagreeable dust of torrid summer. orride with ease and comfort in the shade and shadow offleet and fast cleo tric cars that's a question which at this time directly addresses itself to the Pine Bluff public.
 The present condition of the Pine Bluff street car line is well known to Pine Bluffians.
 The efforts to convert the line into an electric system are also well known to those who peruse the con tents of the local city press.
 The propositions of the St. Louis owners to convert the car line into an electric system have heretofore proven futile.
 But hope for an electric street rail- way has not entirely departed. Hope springs eternal in the human breast. Man never is, but always to be blest.n
 And so it happens that we are perhaps nearer an electric street ear line at present than at any time in the past.
 It comes about in this way:
 After the failure of the Pine Bluff citizens to accept the proposition of the St. Louis owners of the ear line, the St. Louis capitalists wrote their attorney, Mir. John NJ. Taylor, to make whatever disposition of the property he deemed advisable
 Therefore Mr. Taylor, after having abandoned all idea of coming to an agreement with Pine Bluff citizens and capitalists looking to a change of the system to an electric line, was preparing to tear up the tracks Of the street car company and sell it's steel rails, real estate and other property, valued at $l5,000, for just whatever it would bring on the mar ket.
 At this juncture the citizen s com mittee, previously appointed to ne- gotiate with the St. Louis owners, interviewed and asked that the dis interviewed be delayed for few days longer.
 Mir. Taylor then submitted final proposition for the organization of local company with a capital stock of $50,OO0, of which amount the St. Louis owners would accept S15,000 in stock for their present property treat estate included) and franchises, the balance ($35. .000l to be used in building and equipping a power house and changing the system into an electric line.
 This proposition was based on the following estimate of the cost of the same.

 With this plant it is also proposed to put in bid for lighting the city at the expiration of the present con tract in July.
 The Citizens Committee aforesaid has asked a week s time to consider this last proposition, and during the meantime will canvass the city for subscribers to stock in the proposed new enterprise.
 This new proposition seems to us very plausible and feasible. It is n very cheap opportunity to get an electric street car line. 1t is not a donation that is asked, but q sub- scription io stock Ii, an enterprise that gives every prospect. of proving a profitable inventment. and we do not believe the people of Pine Bluff

TRAMp'S TREASURE TROvEa
John Harmens Finds $4,000
Lost Money.
IL was Part of $4,000 Taken From
the Wells Fargo Company by Rob-
bers-SOme oft Recovered.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. I3.-John P.
Harmens, tramp, 80 years old. who
BY his own confession recovered over
$4,000 that was hidden by train ROBBERS
a year ago, is locked up in the Jail in
this city. For months he has been Hv
ing in San Francisco on the fat of the
land from the proceeds Of the money
taken from the Overland Express near
Sacramento by Jack Brady and Brown
ing over a year ago. The prisoner has
turned over to the police $4,000 which
he had in the German Saving bank in
San Francisco, $1,000 in securities, a
diamond ring and diamond collar but
ton.
Harmens found the money hidden
under clump of bushes near Sacra-
menlo, where the robbers who held up
the train had buried it. 1t is known
that the robbers obtained over $4,000
from Wells, Fargo & Co., but Harmens
did not find all of the plumber. He says
he only obtained $4,000, but it is be-
lieved that these hgures are under the
exact amount. This conclusion is based
on the fact that when Brady, one of the
bandits, confessed and took the officers
to the place where the money was buried
only $4,000 was found. Harmens had
evidently taken the rest of the treasury
before the officers arrived
Harmens was arrested in San Francisco

night In appearance he is a typical
