LITTLE ROCK WILL
 PROJECT RAILROAD.
Citizens Take Action to Build Railroad North From Cap
 itol City.

Little Rock, Nov. 29.-The cit izens of Little Rock, at a mass meeting held yesterday afternoon at the board of trade, decided to undertake the building of a rail- road north from Little Rock to Quitman, in Cleburne county, and if the expectations of those who are working for the enter prise are realized, the actual work of construction will begin not later than January 1, 1905.
 It was decided to secure sub- scriptions to the amount of $100, 900 in this city, and when this has been done Col. c. c. God man, who was present at the meeting yesterday, agrees to or organize a company and under take the construction of the road. The company is to be composed of Little Rock business men, and the road, when completed, will be owned by Little Rock citizens.
 The plan as adopted yesterday is to build a road fifty miles long at first, and it is expected that line of this length can be com pleted within year. Although no attempt was made to secure subscriptions yesterday, three subscriptions of $1, 900 each were received. Those signing the list for this amount were w. $. Mitchell, w. w. Dickinson and the Plunkett-Jarrell Grocer Con- pany. A number of others who 1 were present announced that l they were ready to contribute to 1 the fund, but they did not sign the subscription list yesterday.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS.
SPUR TO RUSH MINES.

Last Saturday evening J. H. Jeffries, accompanied by five civil engineers, arrived from St. Louis and Monday morning they started out from here surveying the line to Rush. They leave the main line about half a mile west of the station and swing through the gap at w. L. Wilkerson's and follow the contour of the hill on a gradual descent until they cross Crooked creek at or near the mouth of Mill creek, which stream will be followed out to it's head, across Cowan barrens and down Clabber creek, as be- fore stated in these columns. - Yellville Echo.

DIFFICULT WORK AHEAD.

The Oregon Flat cut, the Oma- ha tunnel, the big trestle and the White river bridge at Branson are the difficult sections of the road yet to be built, and will re- quire not less than eight months under favorable conditions and this time may stretch out to a year.
 The steel for the Branson bridge is in the yards at Aurora and will be taken to the river as soon as the track is laid. The steel reached Reed Springs, 15 miles north of Branson, early this month, and from that point to the river progress is necessa- rily slow on account of the nu- merous trestles and bridges to be put in. There is one section of five miles containing three and one-half miles of trestles and bridges. -Cotter Courier.

With this issue Edwin Johnson increases his lead and passes the 900 mile post with no very close competitor.
 Charles Jones Brandenburg also moves up and takes fourth rank. The vote of today is very light comparatively, but as the Hull precedes the storm so does the vote in the baby contest take spurts after uneventful days.

SALOON LICENSE
 IS TO BE $2, 900.
Council Passes Two Ordinances and Raises Saloon License to
 Above Figure.

Though some members of the council favored placing the saloon license at $2, 800 for the coming year, compromise was effected at the meeting Monday night whereby the license was fixed at $2,OOO, payable quarterly in ad- vance. When the saloons were forced out of the First ward, it will be remembered, the license was reduced to S1, 500.
 The council also passed two ordinances regulating fines for drunkenness and disturbing the peace, making the minimum fine $1 instead of $5, as at present. This places the mayors court on the same footing as that of a justice of the peace.
 The building committee of St. Paul's church were granted per- mission upon petition to extend the side walk on Third street to allow for concrete carriage ap- proach.

VOLUME ".
EAGLES GIVE A
 ,CREDITABLE MINSTREL.
Large House Greets Home Tal- ent Production at Opera
 Holse Monday Night.

The minstrel given by the local lodge of Eagles, who have shown a most remarkable growth since the founding of a chapter here last June and now number some 16O members, proved a very creditable performance and was witnessed by a large house of appreciative friends, who made their good will and endorsement felt in frequent and vociferous encores.
 MT. s. M.. Stuckey as middle man and interlocutor, dressed to kill in whited vest and flowing Prince Albert. in the opening scene had punched about him a semi-circle of charcoaled talent after the ancient order of the time-honored minstrel, and from these dusky heroes of the lime light came responses in the way of song, jest and joke that amused and discomfted portions of the house where hot shot took effect.
 After this brilliant display of individual talent all star compa- nies appeared in two farces en- titled "The Managers Troubles and Irish Justice"
 The work of three visiting comedians was decidedly clever and they deserve further credit for developing talent in many of the home boys. No one knew before that George Robinson had the stage presence and tragedian style of Edwin Booth, but so .iercely did he enact bloody pas sages of Shakespeare before a wondering audience that children became frightened and wanted to go home; the stage cat, which had been perambulating across the scenes at frequent intervals, was content to flee impending wrath and take refuge in one of houses on Broadway so familiar to every Newport theatre-goer for the past twenty and perhaps forty years. But the old-timers were stone-struck and spell bound. With gaping mouths
 nd .breathless interest they drank greedily of the heart stirring drama from such impas- stoned lips and commanding ac- tion, and the manager too, though experienced muchly in dramatic art, was deeply affected and inn mediately offered George Logan a job at $1,000 per night. The city council will have to look elsewhere for an officer to pro- tect dumb animals from inhu- |mane treatment.
 But as stated, this was a com bany of stars and Arthur Ander-
 lon, fresh from the St. Louis fair and areviewal of the Bowery as there produced on the pike, was introduced for a few stunts to test his histrionic ability. Andy Darrow moreover contrib uted to the melody and harmony of the conglomeration in operatic attempts that came. near ending seriously.
 Then followed the Irish court scene. wherein the defense of men for killing mothers-in-law, boys for stealing sheep and jags for getting boozy was undertaken byIovely Grant, whom we hope has more success in collecting his fees than in this mock court, for surely the tears for his client, the eloquence that moves the court in visible and audible emo- tion are worthy of reward.
 More specific mention of the minstrels' many good features is impossible for want of time, so let il suffice that the evening was lo. :oxoI hxr tho bOl1co
