about buying the toll bridge. 1t is
desirable that this meeting be held
sometime this month before the toll
is assessed again by the company.
Without some thought on the subject
1t would appear to the average citizen
that the time had not arrived for us
to make any move in the matter but
the facts when presented, call for
careful consideration. The last Leg
islature made a resolve to give the
town of Norridgewock $500 toward
the expense of buying the bridge pro-
vided the town would furnish the bal
ance which according to careful esti-
mate will amount to $2215. unless
this provision is made use of before
the first of the year 1t is the opinion
of the State treasurer that the amount
raised by the Legislature will revert
to the State reasury. Now how can
this be managed? 1t would be unde-
sirable to raise the entire amount and
therefore boost the taxes out of sight,
in one year; so it is suggested that
the sum of five hundred dollars be
raised each year for four years and
that the extra $215 be appropriated
from the quite large overlap of this
year 1t has been found that the re-
pair expense for the past ten years
has been but little over a hundred
dollars a year but undoubtedly more
than that is needed, probably two
hundred dollars would be near the fig
ure, therefore the amount of seven
hundred dollars each year for four
years would have to be raised to pay
and keep in repair, and after that
the smaller amount ought to do 1t.
What would be the effect on the taxes
for the individual? That is the ques-
ton that reaches the pocket. For
the first four years it would increase
the tax on each thousand dollars,
SLIP. Afterward it would be only
thirty-two cents on a thousand-the
repair bill alone. So that while buy
ing the bridge the increase in taxes in
most cases would hardly be as much
as the present toll and afterward it
would be much less. AS for repairs,
! it looks as though we had to pay for
them now. We would suggest that
competent men be employed to look
the bridge over and report the re-
pairs necessary at present, at the
meeting of the town.

 Campbell Arrives Here.
 Prosecuting Attorney Roy D. Camp bell arrived in Pine Bluff last night at 10:30 o'clock from Little Rock and is registered at the Hotel Jefferson. He declines to discuss the Ellis ha- beas corpus hearing other than to say he would file a motion for a contin- uance when the hearing was called this morning. He declared that the state would not have witness pres ent at the hearing today and judging from his statement Senator Jeff Davis may have decided not to come here to testify. He said he did not know whether Davis was coming or not, not having spoken to Senator Davis for some years.
 They fixed the hearing at time when they knew that it was utterly impossible to have any of the state's witnesses present. said MT. Camp bell. q do not intend to say just what will be my move in the matter until the hearing is on tomorrow morning. Then the public will know what intend to do.'

Jeffries Declares Before Wild Au-
dience He Can Get in Condition and
VIII Defend Title Of Heavyweight.

New York, April 21.-Bedlam reign
ed In the American music hall last
night, when James ]. Jeffries an
nounced that he will fight Johnson
for the heavyweight title. The house
was packed to the doors. Thousands
waited in the streets unable to en-
ter. At the close of the sparring ex-
hibition, Jeffries came to the foot
lights in response to the cheers of
the crowd and said:
Il will fight Jack Johnson. / will
defend my title of the undefeated
champion Of the world The an
nouncement was met with wild yells
and hats were thrown in the air.
After the interruptions Jeffries said
he is satisfied that he can get into
as<godd condition as ever. The big
fellow could rot say more because the
auditorium became bedlam.
Jeffries said Johnson must first
whip Ketchel He says he will not
sign articles for possibly ten months
and that the fight must take place in
this country and be of an unlimited
number of rounds.
