 ELECT OFFICERS John E. Rutherford Sue
 ceeds Captain J. B. York as President and Is De-
 voting His Time to Affiars PLAN IMPROVEMENTS ''T'' Rail to Be Replaced With Girder Steel Rail on West Second and West Sixth Ayenues-Extensions Also to Be Made.
PLAN IMPROVEMENTS

The Citizens Light & Transit ! company held it's annual stockhold-
 CTS meeting at the office of the company yesterday and elected the following directors for the ensuing year:
 J. F. Rutherford, R. L. Ruther- ford, J. P. York, Robert York, E. l B. Bloom, D. c. Bell, c. H. Sam stag, J. s. Ingram and w.. T. Young.
 Immediately after the stockhold- ers' meeting the board of directors
 held meeting and organized by
 electing J. F. Rutherford, presii-
 dent; J. B. York, first vice presi- dent; Robert York, second vice
 president; w. T. Young, secretary, 1 and R. l.. Rutherford, treasurer.
 The meetings were we'll attend
 ed and much interest was manifest
 ed. The change is the presidency
 was made by reason of the fact that 1 MT. Rutherford is giving a great l deal of his time to the transit com- pany and Captain York is devoting his time exclusively to the lumber interests.
 The secretary was instructed to
 confer with the commissioners of the paving districts of West Sec ond and West Sixth avenues in reference to changing the .T'' rail to the girder rail on these streets. Many other Improvements were discussed and the policy of
 the company will be not only to improve the lines now made, but to make certain other needed ex- tensions and to improve the plant
 generally.
 The company expresses itsele as
 being grateful to the public for the liberal patronage extended to
 it not only in the service of it's
 car lines. but it's lighting plant as we'll. Unusual effort will be made to make such improvements. as will give to the public better service and make the plants in every re- spect modern and up-to-date.

Bandy showed up especially we'll, and the work of the Arkansas boy, who is we'll known here through his con- nection with the Arkansas-Taxa. league last summer, was cheered throughout the game.
 Little Rock scored 1irst in the opening inning. Page led off with tWo-bagger, went to third on an out and scored on Miller's hard grounder to Unglaub In the fourth, Miller doubled and scored on Corkilfs triple. Corkill scored on a wild pitch by Young In the seventh Dawson and Randy made hits and page was passed, filling the bases. A tWO-bagger to right by Gilbert and single by Douglass brought in four runs. The next three up were easy outs. In the eighth, Adams singled, Dawson bunted and was safe on Kroh's error. Both ad- vanced on Bandy's out Page hit to Collins, and threw to the plate to catch Adams, but Adams got back safely to third. Gilbert hit to Wagner and Adams was forced at the plate. Douglass singled and scored Dawson and Bandy.
 For Boston in the second, Ferris, Wagner and Young each doubled and two runs resulted. In the fifth, Barrett hit for two bases and went to third on Sullivan's saT- flee.

RHODES-HAVERTY TURN. co.

It is quite hard to make sales with broken stock, as We could not fit out a room, so in order to make our present stock move, we were forced to buy a few more goods with which to fill out, therefore, we have bought two or three cars of nice new. up-to- date goods to fill in with, which makes our stock very complete. They will arrive in two or three days. and these goods will be sold cheap, with scarce ly any profit, as we are not expecting to make any money. Our object is to get our stock down to $3,000 or $4.OOO of strictly staple goods, then it will be easy to lump it to some one.
 Our 9x12 rugs have just arrived. and we have a big stock and fine as- sortment, and they go on sale at the same low prices as we have been closing out under; that is. $17.50 for the 9x12 Administers, $16.50 for 9x12 velvets, 9x12 genuine wilton rugs, $23. 50 and Brussels at $11 and $13.5O. We have a nice line of medium priced portiers just received. All goods are marked in plain figures.
 We will also extend few months credit to those who want it, as we exnect to be here several months. un- til we can get a building at aur new location

He reviewed the proceedings of the mass meeting and also referred to the last session of the Council, when chat body refused to take action on certain commission CTS who had been added to the list already named for the improvement district, owing to the fact, he said, that the Council was not thoroughly familiar with the bill authorizing the improvement district.
