SIDEWALK DISTRICT FORMED
In Southern Part of City by
 Council.
Laying of Walks Now Up to Property Owners in District Other Business
 of City Council.

At the regular meeting of the city council Tues ay night an or dInance, prepared by the judiciary committee, was introduced, read the second and third times and passed, organizing certain territory in the southwestern part of the city into a sidewalk improvement dis trict, for the purpose of laying con crete or Tagging walks. The dis trict is composed of a row of eight blocks between Scott street and College avenue, bounded on the east by Locust avenue and on the west by Watkins street, and also includes parts of the blocks lying south of Col eg avenue, with the exception of the Central College campus.
 Under the law, petition signed by majority in value of the prop erty owners in the district must be presented to the council within three months after the publication of the ordinance referred to, before any active s.eps toward the laying of walks can be taken. If such a petition is presented, it then be comes the duty of the council to ap point an improvement board to car ry out the work petitloned tor.
 The quarterly reports of the city officers were filed at the council meeting. The marshal's report showed fines and licenses collected duri g the quarter amounting to S575o, street work collections amounting to SI82 co and 75 days in tree labor worked On the streets. The treasurer's $ report showed re- ceipts for the quarter amounting to S3o6e A, warrants redeemed amounting to SI 3o9 42, and bal ance in the treasury of S3oo4 68.

WANTS TO KNOW THEIR VIEWS
Representative Bullion Seeks
 Opinion of People.
On Questions of Compulsory Education and the Calling of State Constitu-
 tional Convention.

Two important questions will be brought up in the next session of the Arkansas legislature, according to Representative elect T. J. Bull lion, and he is anxious to acertain the sentiment of the people of his county In regard to them. There are, first, compulsory education and, second a constitutional, con-. vention.
 A movement is now on foot, and a law will doubtless be proposed in the legislature, making attend ance in the public schools of the state compulsory upon children of school age. Several states have already enacted such laws, and sentiment in their favor is said to be growing.
 Considerable agitation is also be- ing made to have the legislature call a constitutional convention for the purpose of drafting new constitution for the state, on the ground that the present constitu- tion, adopted thirty years ago, is antiquated and unsuited to the present needs of Arkansas.
 Prof. Bullion is willing to waive his individual preferences on these two questions, and desires to know how the people of the county stand on them. To this end he suggests discussion through the county papers, and The Log Cabin Democrat offers its columns to anyone who wishes to express himself on these matters.
 Prof Bullion's position on the road question, he says, was out lined in the county campaign. He Is firm believer in good roads, but states that he would vote for a law making the tax effective only i'll such political townships as vote for 1t, should such law be propos- ! ed.

RAILROAD co. FINED S5O0.OO
For Failure to Supply Drinking
 Water at Station.
Fine Assessed in Five Cases Against St. L I'M. & s. Ky. Co.,, by Local
 Magistrates.

On last Monday the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Rail way Company was fined SIoo III each case in five cases in our local Justice of the Peace court, on a charge of failing to keep the wait ing-rooms at their depot at Conway supplied with drinking water. The information in these cases was filed about two weeks ago by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Robins, and three of the cases were tried before Esq. J. F. Campbell and two be- tore Esq. w. A. Ray.
 The lailroad company, being a corporation, was served with sum mons to appear on the day ot trlal, but did not put ill its appearance, and when the cases were called, a plea of Not Guilty was entered i'll each case and trial had. At ter hearing the evidence a fine ot S1oo in each case was imposed by the magistrates. The offense was alleged to have been committed on tue 3rd, 4th, 5th, 9th and 7th of September, and several witness es testified that no water was kept in the waitng-rooms during that time, and that no bucket or other receptacle was even kept there dur ing that time. Under the law, each day that the railroad company fails to comply with the law con- stilutes a separate offence, and the officers state that they have inform ation upon which to base a large number of similar cases, should the railroad company make any further resistance to the cases already brought. Immediately after the summons was served on the agent of the railroad company here about two weeks ago, bucket was pro- vided for each waiting groom and water has been kept for the accom- modation of passengers since that time. The laws of Arkansas pro- 
 vide that waiting rooms shall be kept open for the use of passengers of day and night, that wholesome drinking water shall be provided and that the waiting-rooms shall at all times be comfortably heated. The fine for a violation of this law is not less than SIoo and not more than S5oo for each day, and in ad- dition to this, the agent may be fined not less than SIo nor more than S25, but so far no proceedings have been brought against the agent of the railroad company here for violation of the law in this re- gard.
