ANDY SURGEON DEAD.

Engineer Andy Surgeon, who has
been a citizen here for the past
fifteen years, and popular locomo-

after a short illness, which devel-
oped into case of meningitis.
Mr.. Surgeon was a splendid man
"a man who thought the world of
his family and was ever working
for their comfort and pleasure. In
his death the 7. & p. road has lost
one of its best engineers, this city
good citizen, and the family a
noble protector and counselor.
To the bereaved family we ex-
tend the sympathy of the entire
community, at their loss.

bears the same name and IS a

PASSEDA COMMISSION B i.
1t Is the House Substitute
Bill For the Senate Bill
That Passed.
GOVERNOR S SIGNATURE REQUIRED
And Then the Commission After APP
polntmsnt, Will Enter actively
at Work and Make Rate
Sheets For Railroads
In Arkansas.

Arkansas has at last gotten what
it demanded at the hands of its
legislature-a railroad commission
bill The bill that passed both
houses is a substitute of all the
bills introduced in both bodies, and
is not as drastic as some of the
anti-railroad men could wish, but
then, it is bill looking to snatch
some of the nickels from the money
drawer of extortion, by the various
railroads, and we suppose all will be
satisfied.
Here are the chief points of the
bill as passed and which will be-
come a law if the governor sees fit
to sign the same after it is en-
crossed and presented to him:
An act to provide for the regula-
tion OF railroad, freight and passen-
ger tariffs in this state, to prevent
unjust determinations and extor-
tions in the rates charged for the
transportation of passengers and
freight, and to prohibit railroad
companies, corporations and lessees
in this state from charging other
than just and reasonable rates and
to pnnish the same, and prescribe
a mode of procedure and rules of
evidence in relation thereto; and to
appoint commissioners and to pre-
scribe rules for their government
and define their powers ard duties
in relation to the same.
The three commissioner are to
be appointed by the governor until
the next general election, by and
with the advice and consent of the
general assembly in joint session,
Que to be chosen from the first and
sixth, one from the second and
third and one from the fourth and
fifth congressional districts.
The salary of each commissioner
is fixed at $25o0 per annum, to be
paid by the state.
The commission may appoint
secretary at salary not to exceed
$500 per annum and one stenogra
pher at a salary not to exceed
81, 600 per aunum.
The commissioners, secretary and
stenographer shall be entitled to
receive from the state their actual
necessary travelling expenses,
which shall include the cost only of
transportation while travelling on
the business of the commission, to
be paid out on the order of the gov
ernor upon an itenized statement
thereof, sworn to by the party who
incurred the expense and approved
by the commission.
The power of the commission to
make rates, both passenger and
freight and express, is provided
for, and penalties attached for non
compliance.
The commission is given the
right and authority to demand and
inspect the books of railroads and
express companies at their will,
The bill is a long one dealing with
the railroads and express compa-
nies in ali branches We shall have
to wait and see what the governor
will do with the same before We
can claim it as law,
