 Alderman Sorrells said that many complaints had been made to him relative to short weights in ice, sold to local consumers. He declared that unless the matter is remedied by the next meeting of the city council that he would present an ordinance, re- quiring the Pine Bluff Delivery Com pany to equip all of it's ice wagons with scales.
 An ordinance, reducing the, amount to be collected from property owners ill Paving District No. 2G, known as the Olive street district, on the as sessed benefits il the district for 1913, from , 1-2 per cent to i per cent, was passed.
 On motion of Alderman Bahlau, lights were ordered placed by the Pine Bluff Company at Twenty third avenue and Linden street, Fifteenth avenue and Cedar street, on Elm street at the intersection of Seventh, Eighth and Twelfth avenues, and on Alabama street at the intersection Of Seventeenth and Eighteenth avenues.
 Alderman Franey thought that the council should take some action to aid in relieving the suffering of the fire victims at Hot Springs, but Mayro Bloom informed the council that money was being raised here through public subscription and that Pine Bluffians were doing their share along that line.
 r Alderman Veil suggested that the council should increase the privilege fee paid the city for spur track pri- vileges. The city only receives $23 for such privilege and it is perpetual. No action was taken ill the matter.
 There was considerable discussion relative to the weed cutting ordin- ance. Alderman Sorrel!s suggested that City Attorney Alexander present an ordinance, if it can be done. giv- ing the city the right to contract with individuals for cutting weeds The ordinance, he suggested. should be drawn along the sanfe lines as the recently adopted garbage and sani- tary ordinance. He said that the greatest trouble local resiuenls eX- perience in cutting weeds is to get someone to cut them when they arc needed.

Fair Will Be Held

Hot Springs. Ark, Sept. S.-The Arkansas state fair officials annou- nee that the 1913 fair will not be interferrcd with by the recent fire. Oakland Park is far removed from the burned district. The hotel capa- city of the city is practically un- impaired. The public utilities will be working at full capacity and every means of transportation and accomo- dation will be up to the former standard plans for the fair are going forward the same as though the fire had not occurred and the exposition will be on the same magnificent scale as originally planned.

HOT SPRINGS.

The fatal fire which swept over Hot Springs has caused a general senti- ment of regret and the sympathy of the country is extended to the city, says the Memphis Commercial Ap peal.
 It is not so much sympathy the peo- pie of.Hot Springs want now, but sub- stantial help. In their present con- dition it is almost impossible to look after. care for and house the thous ands of homeless people left with out food, shelter, clothes or the meag CT necessities of life. Such fatality is likely to happen in any city and at any time. Chicago Boston, Baltimore have all been visit ed by just such sweeps of flame. Human charity is great thing. l When the appeal went forth from 1 stricken San Francisco the response was immediate, was generous and was cordial The city received far more than was absolutely necessary.
 Hot Springs will not be forgotten and, Phoenix-like, the proud health
 sort of our sister state will rebuild
 and brighter, better built and more
 beautiful city will mark the smoking i, ruins of today.
 | Fire and floods, when they once i gain control, baffle the mighty efforts
 of men. The winds ai led the flames
 in the destruction of Hot Springs. It
 was fortunate that the business sec : tion was spared.
 Hot Springs is peculiarly tourists
 town. There are permanent residents
 and fixed business interests, but most
 of the business of the city is con- tributed by tourists.
 The tourists who made the town in :, the past will remakc it in tho future
 It is. "a Mecca for the sick, rendez- o vous for the overworkod and weary :, It is a sanatorium given by God tG the suffering sick of this country.
 Such a resort cannot for any length :. of time remain like it is today, and :, even before the smoke ceased to bio" over the blackened ruins plans for re 7, building were being drawn. II, This is an indication of the pluck N, courage and enterprise of ,llo e Springs.

After several postponements. due to the absence of aldermen from the city, the regular monthly meeting of the city council was held last night. Mayor Simon Bloom presided and all the aldermen, except Alder man Fred Fox, who will return this week from his summer vacation, were present.
 Dr. J. l. Norris, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. who is intrest- ed in charitable work in this city, addressed the council on the pur- poses and value of the unlreu Cnarl- ties and urged that body to give the officials of the new organization every encouragement and assistance. On motion of Alderman Ben Veil the council went on record as being Ill sympathy with the movement and directed Dr. Norris to assure it's memberE that they would have the liberal support and cooperation of the council, with a possibility il later months of receiving financial aid rom the city.
 Alderman w. B. Sorrcll's motion, directing that City Attorney AleNan- der prepare an ordinance fixing a graduated license scale for dance amusement places was adopted. He said that the present ordinance fix ed a fee of $10 for each dance and that he thought that eXorbitant when regular dances are given as is the case at the Bluff City Club.
 Alderman Sorrels also asked that the city attorney prepare another ordinance fixing license for dry cleaners. pressers, etc. He declared that many of the small tailoring shops were refusing to pay licenses under recently adopted ordinance on the ground that they do no dry cleaning and only pressing. He wants the ordinance to be more general in It's nature.

 ROSPERITY
THE SENATE ON TRIAL

New York Evening Post: Two oc currences in Washington served to bring out again in a strong light the glaring defects of the senate as a body for the dispatch of public busi- ness. Senator Simmons, i:l behalf of the democratic majority. sought to get the republicans to agree to take a vote on the tariff bill at day fixed. Consent was refused. And there is no way, under the senate rules, by which this or any other contested bill can be brought to a vote, so long as a single senator ob- jects and is prepared to take .:lld hold the floor against it. If Senator LeFollette insists upon speaking for a week, there is no poN-. in the senate to stop him, even though all it's members and the whole country gre Infinitely weary and disgusted. Yet this admission and perpetuation of futility and iluSotence are suppos- cd to be consonant with the dignity of the most august assembly on earth!'
 It is only the superfluity of brute obstruction that longer keeps the tariff bill hanging. 1t has been de- bated to rags. Nobody in or out of the senate pays any attention to what is said on the subject. The passage of the bill has been thoroughly discounted by every busi- ness affected. The country aot only aCuuieces ill it, with or without en- thusiasm, but devoutly wishes that the senate would make an end of the long-drawn agony of frultless oppos,- tion. Yet Senator Galliger will not permit it. La Toilette interposes his veto. And the senate sits by helpless
 Thoughtful senators know that this can not go on. The senate must show that it can be a reasonably nronpt and businesslike body, undo! its existing rules, or else those rules will have to be changed. The theory of the present system Was that a \ house of congress i'll which business can be transacted virtually by un- aninous consent alone would always he made up of fair-minded gentle men. But if handful of prejudlce9 and interruptions men have got thell clutch on the throat of the senate 1t is perfectly obvious that the oi' theory has broken down. It VII have to be changed, and the senate will have to display new spirit or else there will be an irresistible demand that the power of smal group of senators in sullen obstlnac. to block the progress of the nation business be taken away from them It is in this sense that the senate is now on trial before the people Both its reputation and it's influenc' will Joe seriously impaired umess 1t Apeedily finds a way of showing that it can do something besides kelaying and thwarting the clearl! lxnressed will of the nation.

 It is the desire of the university to have the various courses leading to degrees, each as bachelor of arts, bachelor of science in agriculture, bachelor of civil engineering, etc., so correlated with the high school course that the four years in the high school and the four years ill the university will both be part of one course. When this arrangement is completely work cd out student will pass from the high school to the university just as easily as he now goes from one class to another.
