Progressive League Takes Action at Meeting
 Last Night.
BOOST INTERURBAN.
Committees Will Be Appointed to Sell Stock of Pine Bluff & Sulphur
 Springs-Work Soon to Begin.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the Young Mems Progressive Busi- ness League was held in the Cham Der of Commerce rooms last night. President H. H. Knox presided.
 K It was definitely decided to repeat the minstrels early in April, and Prof. w. J. Seibert was appointed in full charge. The first meeting will be held Sunday at three o'clock in the Chamber of Commerce rooms, and the minstrel will be gotten we'll under way at that time
 Meyer Solmson reported the. meet ing with the big league magnates and reported that a. game could be secur- ed here for next week. As the Ath- letic field will hardly be in readiness ,,by that time, the offer could not be accepted, but it is highly probable that the Indianapolis team will be brought here during the early part of April
 Daniel Taylor, president of the li- brary association, made the League a talk about the public library, and asked for the cooperation of the League in securing more volumes and members with view to- securing a Carnegie building, and a donation of 15,OO0 volumes from the government. As an evidence of the belief in the proposition for the library 26 mem- bers joined the association at the meeting and a resolution was adopt { ed whereby Carl Hing was appoint ed in charge of the districting of the city so that membership campaign could be conducted systematically.
 The officials of the Pine Bluff and Sulphur Springs Interurban asked that the Young Men boost their prop osition by selling 100 shares of stock. This met with hearty re- sporse and committees will be ap pointed to solicit this amount of stock. It was reported that work will begin on the road about two and one-half miles from town on Monday, and that as all arrangements for steel had been completed, that this portion of the road should be in readiness for nnoratiOn in short time
 Secretary-elect D. B. Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce made an ad- dress in which he assured the league of his hearty cooperation, and that he intended to promote feeling of friendly rivalry, and that he did not believe in a merger of the two organ

Teams lPracticing.

The two basketball teams of the two boys societies are practicing digilently for the coming slug-fest to be pulled off at the Y. M. c. A. on the night of March 27. The object of this game is two fold. To raise enough of the root of all evil neces- sary to defray the expense les of tract team to Camden, and also to satisfy the savage longing in the hearts or the members of the societies to "get at" each other. The Invincible recently lost the debate to the Phil omateons and this ideal way of get ting revenge is received with great glee by them.
 The captains of both teams are driving their men hard to get into condition for the game and several new fake plays are being tried out by both teams. The Philomateons have been holding secret practice for sev- eral days and it is thought that they are plotting some cunning trick by which the Invincibles will be defeat ed.
 This will probably be the fastest game ever seen on the local floor and all the members of the societies are urged to attend.

RAISING FUNDS
 FOR LITTLE GIRL Efforts Being Made to Send Little Invalid to Chi
 cago Specialist. LIBERAL RESPONSE. Subscriptions of Yesterday Amounted to Over $50. But Much More
 Is Needed.
LIBERAL RESPONSE.

S. C. Alexander yesterday sent q check to t4e Graphic for $1o to be added 10 the fund started for little Grace llliff Owing to the fact that there was nothing realized from the lecture given some days ago ror her benefit, many of the citizens of Pine Bluff have expressed themselves as willing to give to this most worthy cause, and number have subscribed.
 The money realized from the popu- lar subscription will go toward send- ing the little girl to Chicago speci- alist for treatment, and it is a move in which all public spirited citizens should interest themselves. The Graphic will be glad to take the mat ter in hand and care for all contri- buttons sent in, and in turn forward to those in charge.
 As the child is gradually growing weaker, it is found necessary to send her away as soon as possible. Speci- alists at Chicago say that the child has chance for recovery, could she receive treatment immediately.
 Up until the present time there is in the treasury more than $50, and it is asked that all who wish 10 con- tribute to this worthy cause would do so at once, so that arrangements can be made to send the child away within the next. two weeks. Others who have contributed are as follows: Collected by John Speers. ... .$12.50 The Rev. H. A. lStowell. ...... 800 Mrs. S.
