HURRAH, NEW
 RAILROAD COMING
Big Crew ui Civil Engineers and 9th CTS to Arrive Here Next Week and Begin Work on the Pine Riufi North and south
 Railroad

Actual work will begin on the Pine Bluff North and South Railroad the coming week. Four expert civil engi- neers employed by the Thomas A.. Bell Construction Company, to which the contract for the building of the road has been awarded. will arrive in the city the early rart of the week from St. Louis to begin the work. Preparations are being made by them at this time for locating the line of the proposed road and in a few weeks the people in this section of the state will see large crews at work, build ing the long needed railroad on the north side of the river.
 In addition to the four expert engi- neers who are to come here from St. Louis, crew of assistants are being engaged here to assist them. One rodman, two chainmen, two flag men, three aXmen, one cook, driver and one tWO-horse wagon are needed to complete the big crew. This will be good news to Pine Bluff people, For many weeks there have been rum ors circulated to the effect that the promoters of this road had experience ed hitch in their work, but they were without foundation. They have been working quietly to bring about the much reeded enterprise and thei' successful efforts will be heralded with delight by the Pine Bluff busi ness men and others.

THE BABY FINDER

w. Hicks Mallory, the we'll known
 and popular representative of the Tom Morton Tobacco Company of Memphis, is in the city calling on his trade. Mr. Mallory has included Pine Bluff in his territory agan, af- ter an absence of several years. He will be remembered as "the baby find er,' having found an abandoned girl baby on the seat of a Cotton Belt chair car several years ago, while en route to this city. He brought the baby to Pine Bluff and the little gold en haired girl was adopted by MT. and Mrs. D. J. Charlan, former residents of this city, now living in Louisiana. They gave the girl good home.

GOV. PINDALL'S
 BATH BIRTHDAY

Yesterday was Acting Governor X. o. Pindalls 34th birthday anniversa- ry, says the Little Rock Gazette. Th., event was not announced until the governor casually told a few of h.s friends who dropped into his office that the cigars were on him. The gubernatorial office was closed, as far as Governor Pindall was concerned, at shortly after 8 o'clock, as he went to the ball game.
 Governor Pindall is perhaps the youngest man who ever occupied the chief executive position of Arkansas, and who previously had filled posi- tions in both legislative and judicial capacity. He was two terms the rep resentative in the lower house from Dasha county, and during a vacancy was the chancellor of the Seconl Judicial district. He was elected to the Senate to succeed Howard Robb and at the adjournment of the body was elected president pro tenn. The same law that elevated him to the position that he now holds will pre- vent him being candidate for gov ernor, while he retains his seat in the Senate He still has two years to serve in the upper house, and in the event of Governor Little's return he would be required to step down.

CITY COUNCIL
 DID NOT MEET
Special Meeting Would Not Have Been Legal Because One of the Alder.
 men Was Not Notified of It.

The special meeting of the city coun- cil, which was called by Mayor w. L. Toney for last night. was not held owing to the inability of the Mayor to notify Alderman Gabe Meyer, who has been spending the past few days at Heber. While Alderman Meyer would probably not have been able to attend the meeting, it is a matter of form and customary that all of the Alder men be notified. In fact the proceed ings of the council would not have been legal unless all of the Alder men had been notified of the intended meeting.
 For this reason the council meeting was not held last night, and at the present time it is not intended to hold a special meeting The matters Of creating a paving district for DOT ton of Martin avenue and the petition which is being prepared for the pur- pose of saving the shade trees on South Olive street, will be taken up at the next meeting of the council, which will be Monday, September ?.

will be devoted to viewing the exhib- it's.
 Colonel Beeler, president of the as sociation, was private during the Mexican war, and earned his title dur ing the civil war by building a pom toon bridge. During the conflict be- tween the North and the South, after a period spent with the Union forces at the front, Colonel Beeler was mus tered out on account of disability and became the agent of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Glenwood, near Wheeling, Va. When General Joe Hooker, with several corps of Union soldiers, was hurrying post-haste to the assistance of the federal forces in Tennessee, he reached the Ohio river at Glenwood, to find MT. Beeler in charge. There was no bridge at that point, ferry being employed by the railroad. Hooker realized that if he marched his army up to Wheeling in order to cross the bridge there he would lose several precious days, and he was, therefore, in a quandary.
 Then Beeler suggested pontoon bridge, but General Hooker derided the plan. Beeler was insistent, and said there were plenty of coal scows, and offered to build the bridge if au- thorized to do so, A telegram to Sec retary of War Stanton resulted in a reply giving Beeler carte blanche to go ahead. When the federal troops began to arrive a few days later the bridge was ready for them and the day was saved, so far as Beeler was con- cerned. For his service on this occa- sion he was given the rank of colonel.

MEXICAN WAR
 VETS AT EXPO

Norfolk, Va., Aug. 23.-What will probably be the last big reunion of that notable band of veterans who, 61 years ago, answered the call of President James K. Polk to repel the Mexican invasion of Texas, began this morning at the exposition. The con- vention was called to order by Colonel Louis F. Beeler of Baltimore, presi-
 dent of the National Association of War Veterans. A report was then sub- mited by Mrs. Moore Murdock of Dal- las, Tex, secretary of the association. Several addresses and musical pro- gram completed the opening session.
 President Tucker and other officials
 of the Jamestown exposition partic- 3ipated in the reception to the aged and grizzled soldiers who took part in the triumphant march to Mexico, and accorded them every honor and sprivilege. Today has been set .1ast as Mexican Veterans day at the big fair, and the entire program will cen- ter about the veterans.
 z According to reports submitted to the convention. only about 5000 men 5are now living of the 7s.000 who en- f1isted in the Federal forces during sthe Mexican campaign. The average age of the survivors is SC years.
 The Danes of 1S46, an auxiliary sof the Veterans association, being 8'composed of the daughters of the vst- 8erans, will hold their national con- rention tonorrow, after which the day

Miss Davis is the niece of Jefferson

ago, Miss Davis was connected with
"a western stock company in which
she appeared in many Shakespearean
plays and in "The HunchbaclI", and
"Ingomar'', after which she spent a

Federal Control.

Asked If ne thought the confer
ence between the railroad men and
the government would be beneficial.
Mr. Rockefeller said:
"I cannot say. 1t is my idea that
federal control would be better
thing for the roads. They would then
understand the laws they must OBJ
served and would be able to plan
anead intelligently without one state
suddenly demanding one thing and
another state being equally insistent
on something entirely different. The
interstate situation and the differen-
tiation in the state laws is, / think
one of the greatest problems railroad
men nave to deal with"
Speaking of the general financial
condition of the country Mr.. Rookie

'On its surface 1t is good. Bust
ness is booming and every one seems
to be satisfied. But there is an un-
dercurrent that does not look so
