ARRESTED HERE
The My Friend From India" Peo
 pie Arrested Tuesday Night.

Two United States officials from Little Rcck arrived in the city last evening and immediately after the performance at the opera house went to the Trulock hotel aud ar rested the business manager and several other members of the My Friend From India" company and threatened to lock them up.
 Manager Senyard was telephoned for and arrived very quickly. The cause of the trouble was that the ompany had failed to take out the necessary State license, which the manager intended doing upon his arrival here, but up to the time of the arrest had been unable to find the United States officer stationed here.
 A bond was made for the com panY's appearance before the United States court at Little Rock aud the company departed for Hot Springs where they play tonight.

The Lott K pad.

A telegram from Hot Springs dis cussing the purchase of the Lott road by Col. FordYee Wednesday, says:
 It is learned from the best author ity that an understanding exists be- tween the purchasers of the Lott road, the Choctaw and Memphis, Kansas City, Pittsbnrg and Gulf and the Texas Midland to the effect that iu the event of the sale and completion of the Lott road from this city to Little Rock, the Texas Midland would extend it's line to Mena, Ark, there connecting with the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf. The latter company would then build into this city, connecting with the Lott road, and that traffic arrangements would be effected with the Choetaw and Memphis company thus giving Hot Springs excellent railroad facilities.
 From the above dispatch 1t would seem that Little Rock and Hot Springs are to have several addi- tional and important railroad con nectlons.
 It behooves the people of Pine Bluff to keep an eye on this railroad building, and should the above con nections be made, a hne should cer- tainly be built from Pine Bluff tc Benton or Malvern.
 Pine Bluff people should be awake and vigilant as to their interests.

When he first broached the idea to several college presidents hesaid: ''It occurred to me that if each col lege in the United States would con- sent to give one Cuban free tuition it would result benefcially in many ways. For this offer to be published in Cuban papers would impress them with the generous disposition of our people. Cubans educated at our colleges would return to Cuba with correct ideas regarding our people and the whole tendency of the arrangement would be to in crease mutual confidence and re spect".
 The old soldier deftly brings the argument of Ihuman selfshuegs to re.enferce the benevolent side of the proposition by saying that it would not cost the colleges much, while some recompense would accrue to them in their becoming known to the people of the island, who would patronize them freely as soon as better times should come.
 Philanthropy and common sense lie behind General Wheeler's plan. Mr. 0. K. Harrison, of Union Col Iege, who was authorized to com munieate with the American col. leges concerning the scheme, has already received owes 100 favorable replies.
 Cuba's educational system, sc called, affords practically no avenue for obtaining the higher education. General Wheeler's method, under existing conditions, appears to hold out the best and most practical op- portunities for bestowing the ad- yantages of a college course upon bright young Cubans-Republic.

PINE BLUFF, ARK. JAN.7, 1889

Pine Bluff last year supported 27 licensed saloons. Thus far only 16 licenses have been applied for. There is not near so much drinking in this country as formerly and it is very seldom we see a man in his cups sufficiently to roll about on the streets. A good set of police who will treat1the genteel drunkard to the same kind of treatment as he does the hobo, would soon reform the tippling world, but then the po- lice don't do this in alI'cases, for we have known them to hire carriages and go off their beats to take gen. teel drunkard home to keep him from being placed in the jug with men who did not cut up half as bad as the genteel fellow. We do not write this as local hit, for we have lived elsewhere in our life and have been obserYant in these mat ters. -Texarkanian.

IT WAS PURCHASED BY COL. S. w. FORDYCE AT
 $5O,0oO.
IT WILL BE COMPLETED.
Was Only One Bidder-By Terms of Sale $1O,0OO Was
 Paid in Cash.

The Lott road has at last been sold, which means that it is to be completed and extended, as It is un- derstood there is ample capital back of it to insure the successful issue of the enterprise. The sale was made by Master in Chancery Chas. T. Coleman, of Little Rock, at Hot Springs today, and was bought by Colonel s. w. Fordyce, late presi- dent of the Cotton Belt, at the up set price of $5O,OOO, fixed by the United States court.
 Colonel Fordyce is one of a syndi- cate of monied men and progressive citizens of Hot Springs, who pro- pose to make something out of this investment that shall tell for the progress of this part of the State. A hitherto dead property is to be revived and made to yield fruit, and the public will await with interest the announcement of the purchasers as to their intentions and plans.
 Colonel Fordyce was the only bidder. Arkansas Democrat.

STOLE S7I.
Before His Boss" Discovered Who
 Was Doing the Slick Work.

Green Bryant, young negro, has been in the employ of Mr. J. T. Lloyd at hls grocery store for the past two months as porter. Several days ago MT. Lloyd came out $8.5 short in his cash, and at once sus- pected the porter.
 Mir. Lloyd notified his clerk, Mir. Clements, and a close watch was kept on the suspect.
 Wednesday morning the porter vas seen with one hand in the cash drawer and the other in .the stove, building a fire and it became very hot, in fact too hot for the thief, and now he prefers the cooler, or to be plain, the Jefferson county jail $71 was the total amount stolen, and he will doubtless be severely punished. Green appeared before Judge Brown in the police conrt this morning and he was transferred to Justice Vance, who will listen to his "tale of woe" this afternoon.

RUSSELL HARDING OF THE COTTON BELT IN THE
 CITY.
ON A TOUR OF INSPECTION
Visited the Cotton Belt Shops and Other Property of the Com
 pany Here,

First Vice-President Russel Harding, of the St. Louis South western railway, arrived in the city last evening in his special car, the Arkansas Traveller" from St, Louis. He is on a tour of fnspec- tion throughout the entire system and remained in the city today the guest of Master Mechanic E. M. Galbraith.
 Mr. Harding, in company with Mir. Galbraith, spent the morning at the Cotton Belt shops inspecting the different departments. He ex- pressed himself as being perfectly satisfied with the present condition of things at the shops and had very favorable reports to make. He spent the afternoon in his special car near the shops conversing with several friends.
 This is Mir. Harding's second visit to the city and we are truly glad to know that he manifests so great an interest in Pine Bluff and her far famed shops.
 He leaves tonight for Texas where he will spend several weeks inspect ing the several branch roads and main lines In that State.

Circuit Judge Settle created a sensation at Bowling Green, Ky, the other day in his charge to the grand jury on the subject of gam bling. The Judge took the high ground that any sort of gaming for prize is gambling, whetherit be at dice or cards for money in gam bling den, or whether it be in the parlor of a private residence for prizes. He therefore instructed the grand jury to return indictments for all kinds of gaming, whether it was with chips across the green
 cloth of gambling den or game of progressive euchre for prizes in a private parlor. The charge has set society in Bowling Green all agog, as it is believed the grand jury will take matters in hand and return in- dictments as directed. By the time some of the fathers and husbands have to pay fine to the common wealth of Kentucky for their daugh- ters or wives, it is needless to say that progressive euchre will not be as pleasant pastime in Bowling Green in the future as in the past.

Wheeler's Way.

Those who believe that Genera Joe Woeeler's virtues as a soldier are so paramount that his possession of the clements of civic wisdom are totally eclipsed thereby ought to read the excellent suggestion, made after his return from Santiago, re- specting the education of Cuban youth. The Generals plan is that each American college shold offer a
 free scholarship to at least enc oung Cuban.
