GOULD PARTY PASS THROUGH.

President George Gould of the Mis- .souri Pacific system, in a special train of five coaches spent half hour in Newport Friday morning, but as he came unannounced, few knew that the city contained so distinguished a party of railroad officials as was carried upon the Gould special, until after it's departure.
 MT. Gould was accompanied by his family and private secretary, First Vice President c. G. Warner, Third Vice President and General Manager Russell Harding, General Superin- tendent William Cotter and other of the "powers that be' in the manage ment of the Gould system of roads. In company with number of these officials, MT. Gould took view of the town from the depot platform and looked over the new edifce that is to be completed by the first of next month.
 It was not the original intention of the party to come to Arkansas, but for some reason their plans were changed at Cofeyville, Kansas. Thursday afternoon was spent in Little Rock and that night upon a side track at Bald Knob. Arriving at Newport at TAO a. m., the train pulled out at 8:10 expecting to make the trip to Penter's Bluff and return to the main line by noon.
 The train is drawn by engine No. 253, with Engineer Pacillo at the throttle and Fireman Fwazy shovel ing the coal. MT. Gould and family are occupying the private cars "Ballyclore" and "Atalanta'' The latter is the car that was used by Jay Gould when he made his trips over the road.

REV. H. E. GABBY RESIGNS.

Rev. H. E. Gabby, pastor of the Baptist church in this city, offered his resignation to the congregation of that church Sunday morning to take effect the first of October. The resig- nation was made that he might ac- cept call to the pastorate of the Baptist church at OWensboro, Ken lucky, city of 16,Oo0 population.
 It is with the deepest regret that not only his own church but the peo- pie of Newport generally, part with MT. Gabby and his estimable wife and it is with no feeling of hesitation that we commend him strongly to his new charge. His sincerity impresses itself upon those who know him and minister, who is thoroughly conscientious, able and fearless, as we know him to be, cannot help but attain a bright future and prove a blessing in the lives of others.

Those circulating these pc titions state that about 700 names had been secured up to noon Saturday and and the work was progressing most satisfactorily. 1,30O names will prob ably constitute the necessary number and those in favor of saloons are con tident that they will have no trouble in securing the requisite number.
 Whether or not the prohibitionists will attempt to demonstrate their strength by counter petition is not known, but there can be little doubt that Newport will again be ''wet" af- ter the first of the year and the ques- tion now seems to be, how many sa- looms will be licensed, as there are seven or eight prospective candidates for licenses.

COMPLIMENTS MIR. CAMPBELL

For four years Silas D. Campbell has served the 3rd judicial circuit faithfully as prosecuting attorney. MT. Campbell has given universal satisfaction, has made himself an en-. viable reputation and this being his last round as such official will retire upon his laurels, bearing the plaudits of his fellow citizens: "Well done good and faithful servant" During his official career he has held onto a large share of his practice at Newport and as his partner, Judge J. W. Phillips is elected to the office of rail road commissioner, it is fortunate that MT. Campbell in retiring from official life is ready to step back into lucrative practice, and take charge of the business.-W Walnut Ridge Blade.

The city council apparently stands divided on the question of sewerage, at least without further investigation as to it's probable cost. Monday night with all members present, the peti- tion of T. J. Watson and others ac- companied by the certificate of the county clerk relative to the value of real property owned by the signers of said petition within the corporate limits of Newport, was presented, but further action toward the incorpora- tion of this city as an improvement district was postponed at the request of Alderman Wishon, who wished fur ther time for investigation of the question under discussion. Upon a motion offered by Bailey and seconded by Wllmans, that the petition be laid over until next meeting, all voted yes with the exception of Walker.
 Upon motion offered by Bailey and seconded by Wilmans, which was unanimously carried, requesting the mayor to appoint committee of two to investigate the probable cost of the water system of sewerage and of other feasible systems of sewerage. the respective cost thereof, the water rate and the cost of plumbing, and re- port to the next meeting of the coun- cil, Mayor Grubbs named A. D. Bai- ley, chairman and N B. Wishon as such committee.
 A little information might be here thrown in, regarding the petition of T. J. Watson, ct al, and the certificate of the county clerk. The said peti- tion is signed by 91 owners of real estate within the corporate limits of this city and as shown by the certif cate of the county clerk, the total val uation of their property according to the official assessment for 1901. is $334, ,545. The total assessed value of the real property within the improve ment district is 8663,815, but toward this, railroad property contributes $30,1 leaving the sum of S633, ,660 One half of this assessed value is $316,83O, giving that represented by the signers of the petition a majority of $27,715.
 A resolution introduced by Bailey and seconded by Walker, was unani mously adopted, instructing the re- corder to notify the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Company l that unless better service was furn. ished, the necessary steps will be taken looking toward the repeal of the franchise.
 Bailey introduced motion, which received second by Wilmans and was carried without opposition, fix ing the corporate tax for 1902 of the City of Newport at five mills, which is the maximum under the laws of this state. The same rate was effec- tive for the year 1901.
 The minutes of Aug. 4, IS and Sept. 8, were read and approved; the usual bills were also allowed.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 14.-Geo. Gould, president of the Missouri Pa cific system, accompanied by Vice President Russel Harding and Vice. President F. H. Britton of the Cotton Belt, spent Saturday in Memphis. MT. Gould gave out a statement relative to vast improvements.
 "Memphis needs a union station more than any city in the south," said Mir. Gould, "and I am perfectly will ling to join in any feasible movement in that direction. The matter was taken under consideration several years ago, but the negotiations were fruitless. I am ready to reopen the question, and if the other roads fail to lend their cooperation l will erect a S2O0,ooO depot for the Missouri Pa cifc."
 Memphis is destined to become the gateway between the east and the west have overlooked the impor- tance of the city as a gateway in the past, but now I am realizing it. Its value to our interests will be greater in the future than in the past on &C., count of the development in our properties west of the Mississippi river and contingent to Memphis.
 "Within another year we will have our new line completed into Kansas City, giving the shortest line between Kansas City and Omaha and Mem phis. At the same time our line down the west side of the Mississippi to New Orleans will be completed.
 ''Our new line to Kansas City will be in connection with the Iron Noun tam system, over the White River branch now in course of construction. This line will be forty miles shorter than the present shortest route to that city. It will also have the best grade. The grade for 250 miles will be water level grade. This line is being constructed for the heaviest of traffic, both freight and passenger. It is determined to make it competing trunk line. The road has been com pleted half way to Buffalo from New port, Ark.
 "The scenery on this line is grand. Our party went oyer the line yester- day. In the Ozark mountains there is to be found scenery to rival the grandeur of Colorado"
 Asked if the Missouri Pacific still entertained the idea of building a bridge across the Mississippi at Mem phis, MT. Gould said:
 ''Yes, we are still of that notion and certainly will build the bridge unless the Kansas City Bridge Company re- duces it's toll Under their present rate of charges I consider that we are paying at least 50 per ceut too much for tolls It would pay us to build a bridge instead of paying excessive tolls as we are doing"
