put the bill back on its second reading, and intimated that there were some facts which, II known, might make change in the final vote. Mir Parks asked that these facts be given out without delay If there were any to be given out or any attacks to be made oil Senator Pindall.
 We'll, replied Mr. Vim If l had served the interests of the railroads and of the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing Com- pany as well as the acting gov ernor don't know that I would ask the state for this salary
 Later, Mir. Winn explained that he did not mean any personal reflection on the acting govern or. But do insist" he said. that If l had been governor at the time the railroads attacked the passenger rates of the state, 1 would have enforced the 2-cent. That's what l meant by favoring the railroads.
 Mr. Parks, author of the meas ure, closed the debate. He re- iterated his former statement that the acting governor had done noble thing in turning the salary of the office over to the family of the stricken governor, and declared that even il the body did act from the impulse of sentiment, 1t would be acting wisely in supporting the measure. The debt, he insisted, was due i'll every sense and that the legisla- ture could take no action other than recognize such indebted ness.
 The final vote was taken, show tug 51 in favor of the bill and 2 against 1t.

 HIS SALARY. HOUSE PASSES MEASURE AZ. TER MUCH DISCUSSION. MUCH OPPOSITION SHOWN. Acting Governor Charged With
 Failure to Perform
 His Duty.
MUCH OPPOSITION SHOWN.

Little Rock, Feb. l6. After discussing every phase of the cir cumstances by which Senator X. 0. Pindall became acting governor of Arkansas nearly two years ago, and debating the con- stitutionality of the bill by Mir Parks, which provides for the paying of the sum of So, ,250 to Senator Pindal for his services as acting governor, the house last afternoon passed the bill, but not until the opposition to the measure could muster 22 out of 15 votes.
 Mir. Little, of Mississippi. opened tie discussion at the alter noon session, on the Parks meas ure, consideration of the bill has- ing been interrupted by the noon recess. He said he favored pass ing the bill because he believed the state ought to make the pay ment. However, he opposed an such idea going out as that the money that had gone to tile family of Governor Little had been donation from any individ- ual or that the governor had been the beneficiary of anything ex- cept the state.
 Mir. Brown of Independence denounced the bill as a measure which, if enacted, would set q dangerous precedent.
 Mir. Gam, of Benton, made q vigorous speech i'll opposition te the measure. He took the same stand as did MT. Brown, holding that Pindall had violated the constitution in refusing or failing
 to call special election. II am
 not under any obligations to vote
 an appropriation of money in face
 of what regard as violation
 of the constitution, or for man
 who has overridden the organic
 law ot the state" said he. MT. Combs. of Madison, de tended the bill, and declared tha 1
 the office of governor had never
 been vacant, hence the acting governor had no right to call a
 special election.

REFERRED BACK
 ID THE PEOPLE. SENATE SHIFTS RESPONSIBLE. TY OF SETTLING CONTEST. TO BE 4 NEW ELfCTION. Fight Will Probably be Waged Anew Between Sumpter and
 Greaves Forces.

\ fter discussing the matter fer two days, the Senate on Wednes day settled the SumPter-Greaves contest by referring Il back to the people ol the Thirty-lifst District Tor new election sfhe Committee on Elections which has had the matter i'll charge since the converting of the gener- al assembly was divided on the question. Two reports we're sub- mltted, q nld Jority report signed by five members of the committee, recommended the seating of Sunpter, Democrat, and four members submitted q minority report recommending the seating of Greaves, Republican. IL was while tie discussion was going on that Senator Henderson of Randolph County introduced the resolution to refer the matter back for new election, and the resolution was adopted by vote of IS to Is. Senators Dill and Carlock voted against the reSolu- tion and Senator FreGnan voted for 1t. It is stateN that Govern or Donaghev will immediately issue call for special election to be held within thirty days, and in order that the district may not be without representation a temporary senator will be ap- pointed to serve until the elec- tion. It is presumed that Stump ter and Greaves will again be the opposing candidates.
 The cause of this contest IS familiar to all newspaper readers and grew out of factional fights at Hot Springs. While Snmpter was given a certificate of election there is little doubt but what Il was the result of fraud, and that Greaves, the Republican, was really elected and entitled to the place. It is also apparent tha' many members of the Senate realized this, but when 1t came

WILL SOON RE
 IN SPR|NGDALE. lNTERURBAN PEOPLE ABOUT READY TO TALK BUSINESS. SPRINGDALE ONLY WAITING. When the Time Comes She Will be Right There Ready to
 Do Business.

Everything seefns to be pro- gressing satisfactorily ill connec- ton with the interurban road.
 Judge Berry k in receipt of letter from Winloek Morris, who k mayor of Bentonville. and also president of the Arkansas Cc- Operative Construction Company, saving that the work et closing up the matter at Bentonville is moving along nicely. Mr. Nor ris says they hope Ill few weeks 10 have every town on He circuit connected up and several survey ing crews in tile field.
 Judge Berry Is also in receipt of d letter from N. II. Grossland, viee-president of the Western Surety and Adjustment Company, i'll which lie says tile people of Bentonville are coming up with their money and subscribing for stock in a manner that absolute ly guarantees success. Mir. Grossland further says:
 "Just as soon as possible We will be will be with you for the purpose of securing subscriptions from your citizens in amounts that will be entirely satisfactory to them. We count on Spring. dale being an important link in this circuit and are confident that when the time comes your people will do their part i'll carrying through successfully this enter prise that IS of such vital impor- tance to Northwest Arkansas
 As yet nothing definite is known as to ust what the route will be after leaving Beutonville, and We presume this will depend omewhat on the amount of stock subscribed by the different points.
 The Fayetteville committee appointed to go to Bentonville and confer with the promoters of the enterprise las not yet done so, at least had not up to Tues day.
 Since the above article was put in type telephone message reached The News Thursday night from Editor Cross of the Bentonyille Sun saying up to that time there had been loo subserib- CTS to the stock of the lnterurban railroad, and that II was sure go. MT. Cross also stated that the promoters of the enterprise would soon visit Springdale for the purpose of taking up the matter here.

CANNON BALL
 IS ID STOP. THAT IS, IT WILL UNDER GER
 TAIN CONDITIONS.
"METEOR" WILL BE PUT ON.
At That Time It is Thought Can. non Ball Will Make Regular
 Stops in Springdale.

Springdale k getting to be fairly well acquainted with some of the officials of the Frisco rail- road.
 We had anetI1ef=visit Thursday from C N. Green of Fort Smith, assistant superintendent. and l.. w. Price. of Joplin, division passenger agent. They came to tell LIS that arrangements had been made to stop trans ; and Q, known as tile cannon ball, at Springdale under certain condi- tionS.
 It has been agreed to stop No. ,, the south bound train, when there is Il passenger on board coming from St. Louis or points beyond. It k also agreed to stop No. [. north bound, to discharge passengers from points in Texas. or to take OH passengers bound for St Louis or points beyond. Under this arrangement Nc. ; would not step here to take en passengers. even though their
  destination mght be Texas points, but | thts train had to stop to discharge passengers 1t was stated that passengers would be allowed to board the train for any point south where regu- lar stops are made.
 An informal meeting was held at the office of the DodSon-Ren- ner Insurance Agency, which was attended by number of business men. In the discussion which ensued the fact was de- veloped that the Frisco is to transfer it's fast train, known as tue Meteor, which now runs from St. Louis to Fort Worth, Texas, over the Red River di- vision, to this division in tle near future, the change to be made some time this spring, probably about the first of April. Messrs. Price and Green express ed the belief that when the flew time card, necessitated by tle addition of this new train to this division, is issued that arrange ments will be made for trains ; and to make regular stops i'll Springdale. They could give no assurance, however, that this would be done, but merely eX- pressed 1t as their opinion.
 Nothing further developed at the meeting beyond the fact that the officials of the railroad com panv stated that they were power less to do anything except carry out the instructions of those higher in authority. The new orders relative to stopping 5 and 0 are to be carried out whether II gives Springdale the relief that is sought or not, and will go in- to effect just as soon as the ne cesSary instructions can be issued.
 While the new arrangement will be some improvement over present conditions, the people here feel that 1t will not give them the service to which they are entitled. The probabilities are that the matter will now be taken up with the head otfKials 
 in St. Lotus, and if they will give Springdale assurance that 5 and 6 will make regular stops here when the new time card Is issued in the spring, the people here will be satisfied aud content to put up with any service they may see fit to give Us until that time If they do not give the town such assurance, then some other method will be adopted in an eff fort to try and secure our rights.
 Self-conceit IS self-defense.
