 City council last night showed it's
 appreciation for what Col $. w. Fordyce had done for Hot Springs by authorizing City Attorney Leo P. Me 1 laughlin to draw up an ordinance for ] the payment of one-half of the debt l the city owes Colonel Fordyce. This ordinance would have been introduced ! and passed last night but for the ob- l jection to it's introduction by Alder man Sam Williamson of the Second ward
 Colonel Fordyce was given the l privilege of the f'oor and stated that he had come before council for the purpose of reiterating his request for settlement of the money due him. He told council that he had assisted in keeping the city on a cash basis during Mayor Jodds administration and that he had received no reply to communication he had sent the old council He told the aldermen that he believed the money was due him and that some effort should be made towards payment of the same.
 Colonel Fordyce called attention to the proposition he had made council to the effect that he would agree to take the principal and interest, less 10 per cent Then he later agreed to take one-half of the principal and the interest, less 10 per cent The one half of the obligation, he said. ought to be paid at this time. and. provided this was done he would agree to wait until next year for the balance.
 Alderman Rigsbee stated that he misunderstood Colonel Fordyce's previous communication He had been chairman of the old finance com mlttee he said, but did not under stand that the matter was left to that committee for a conference with Colo nel Fordyce and that had he under stood it ia that way he certainly would have made some effort to con- fer with the colonel He did uot wish the cOlonel to think that any dis- respect had been intended
 The debate on the payment cf part of the Fordyce- Mckee obligation Ee. came general Many of the aldermen were under the impression thas the city should make some settlement with Colonel Fordyce, althous1 there was opposition to paying the debt in full. Colonel Fordyce was willing 70 meet council haf way in th;s natter.
 Alderman Williamson, however, took the floor and stated hat he Was not in favor of paying any part of that obligation at this time
 Tt has been said that Colonel Tor. dyce has been good to Hot Springs, said Alderman Williamson That may be true, but l want to say t1at

EIGHT PYTHlAN CANDIDATES TO RESPOND AND BIG MEETING

Eight candidates who have already received the rank of page vii appear 1 in the local Pythian lodge this even ing to take the second degree and initiated into the rank of esquire. This is one of the largest classes for ' this degree that has appeared in maay weeks, and, realizing the inn

 Aside from this degree work, the Pytlians will consider a rather unique proposition this evening It is noth- ] ing less than a campaign for old mem- ] bers.
