FISH HATCHERY FOR ARKANSAS

Mammoth Spring, Oct. 14.-Cong- ressman Brundidge met United States Fish Commissioner George M. Bow CTS here today, and together they closed the deal with the owners of the land for the fish hatchery at this place, for which Congressman Brundidge se- cured an appropriation of $25, 1000 at the last session of congress. The plant embraces fifteen acres adjoining the depot and big spring.
 Work will begin about December 1 on the plant. The improvements will cost some $10,000, besides the land. The bill also provides for an annual appropriation for the mainten- ance of the hatchery.

MORE PROBABLE REASON.

One of the hardest propositions which confronts the management of a big circus, is to secure transportation of the railroads, which are not over solicitous for this class of business, owing to the fact that the circus cars are equipped only with air brakes and are often in bad condition, thus increasing the chances of wreck.
 From good source we learn, that the Iron Mountain has so little side track in the local yards and is so greatly inconvenienced in handling a circus here, that the Forepaugh & Sells Bros. date for November 4, was cut out. They show in Little Rock Nov. 3 and the reason first assigned for the cancellation of the Newport date, because of poor business in the South, is hardly the true cause.

YOUNG MANS EPISTLE
 READ TO AUDIENCE

Pine Bluff, Oct. 14.-When Harry Carson Clarke appeared before the curtain last night, he made his usual speech and then added something not on the program. MT. Clarke com plained that one of the young ladies in his company had been exceedingly annoyed throughout the day by young man who persisted in sending her notes. One had been sent be- hind the curtain during the perform ance and the comedian had it in his hand as he spoke. Mir. Clarke then proceeded to hand out a nice roast to the young gentleman. If the man who sent the note was in the audience, he kept his nerve and never made a move that would lead to his identity.

THROUGH RATES
 ON SHORT LINES.
Railroads Will Be Compelled to Sell Tickets Between Points Within
 State on Other Lines.

Little Rock, Oct. 15.-An order was
 made by the railroad commission of
 Arkansas yesterday hi the matter of through passenger rates over two or
 more lines of railroad for the trans portation of passengers between points in Arkansas. The order Ter
 quires each railroad in the state where there is station to sell tickets to any
 other similar point on connecting l line, and to check baggage through on
 such tickets.
 1 The order ill no wise affects pas-
 senger rates on the short lines in Ar
 kansas. Nor does it require such lines 1 to go to the expense of establishing l additional stations. If short line
 legally charges cents per mile and a connecting road assesses 8 cents per
 mile, the passenger purchasing a
 through ticket is required to pay the
 sum of the locals. The state laws al-
 ready fix passenger rates at maxi
 mum of 3 cents per mile on long lines, 5 cents per mile on lines between 15
 and 75 miles in length, and 8 cents per
 mile on those less than 15 miles in length, provided that the minimum
 charge for passage shall be 25 cents. Great uneasiness has been mani fested by the short lines in Arkansas lest the commission reduce their pas
 senger rates to cents per mile, and require them, in addition, to build de- pots and maintain ticket agents along their routes. As rule the short lines
 cannot afford such an expense and
 the custom is for passengers to pay fare to the conductors on those roads.
 It will be seen, however, that the &C.,
 tion of the commission yesterday in wolves radical change beyond re-
 quiring that where stations are al-
 ready established through tickets shall be sold to points on connecting lines within the state at the sum
 of the locals; in other words, the ex- isting rates shall prevail.
