ANNEXATIONISTS
MAKE COMPROMISE
City Attorney SorrclIs Files Amended
Petition Before County Judge
James Gould and Annexation
Hearing Went Over.

When the matter of anneXing GER
tain outlying property, in a strip that
surrounds the entire city of Pine Bluff,
was called up for disposal before
County Judge James Gould yester-
day City Attorney w. B. Sorrells
filed an amended petition withdrawing
the original petition which asked for
the annexation OF the entire strip.
The hearing has been set for July IS
before Judge Gould.
There was considerable opposition
displayed by residents of the district
which was included in the original Pc
tition and annexation was voted for at
the last city election Attorney Sor-
rells stated however that Cockrill' s
addition, north of the railroad in the
Eastern suburbs of the city be an
neXed. This was the only request
made in his amended petition.
Many property owners, signers for
AMI against annexation, were at the
court house Saturday morning when
the matter was taken up by Judge
Gould but no arguments were made as
expected owing to the fact that City
Attorney Sorrells announced that the
amended petition would be presented.

TO the Sigma Nj Fraternity belongs
the distinction of being identified with
the most brilliant social entertain
ment known in Pine Bluff for some
time past, given Friday evening at

sic was all that could be desired.
These elements towards a successful
evening, combined with beautiful
decorations, pretty favors, the ger
man we'll led, and the figures new
and delightful, made OF the Sigma
M dance an exceptional social al
fair.
College and fraternity colors and
,pennants furnished very beautiful and
effective decoration, the Sigma MI en-

vors were distributed from a prettlly
decorated booth in the center OF the
hall. and from cosy nook in one
corner delightful punch was served.
Palms and ferns formed screen
behind which the musicians were
concealed. The brilliant lights were
rellowed by Japanese lanterns
through which the lights fell Win
soft glow over the beautiful costumes
of the dancers. A striking feature
of the decorative arrangement was
shown at y o'clock when the hall was
darkened and design OF the Sigma

Would Like to Have Contract Made
from Year to Year, Which Is Not
Pleasant Prospect for Postoffice
Officials Charged With Weighing
Mails to Determine Price.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Western mail has
doubled and even q%uadrupled each four
years Of late, a fact urged by western
railways as a reason why they should
be paid more for their mail service.
The present laws require that the pay
of railways during four-year contracts
shall be based upon the weights hauled
during Jos days, when the mails are
weighed. A committee of supervisors
of mail service for western roads has
asked Observation-Disclosures Meyer to
consider the plighto the transportation
companies, and a delegation has just
returned from Washington-hoping, II
not hopeful. The western mail is
growing go fast that the railroads
want the contracts made from year to
year, no a pleasant prospect for the
p~ostoffice officials, for weighing time"
is a nightmare to them.
Not a Heavy Garner.
The transportation Of mails is said
to earn only "a per cent Of the gross
revenues of railways, an argument ad-
vanced in u general protest against the
fines now imposed for delays to mail
trains, railroad officials having long
since thrown UP their hands at attempt
ing to guarantee schedules.
Millions Paid to Roads.
Last year Uncle Sam paid to rail-
ways, east and west, S43 1896, 92S for
transportation of mails. For just
the item and mail bags and inciden-
tai equipment of that kind the mails
cost $446, $50. AS to the reduced post
age to England-from 5 cents to 2
cents-the amount of mail remains the
same. ga %6fty-pound sacks each week.
But the veteran Of the Chicago post
office, Assistant Postmaster Hubbard,
said of the change: las one result the
allurements of American life will be
drawn more freely. and the result may
be an increased immigration from the
Islands. There will be a freer exchange
of ideas and the understanding be
tween the two nations will be vastly
improved
