 CAMP PIKE TODAY
Commander of 87th Division Back From Visit to
 Front in France.

Little Rock, March 9.-Brig. Gen. S. D. Sturgis probably will arrive at Camp Pike some time Sunday, accord ing to officers in charge at the divis- ion headquarters. General Sturgis, with his staff, has just returned from France. where he witnessed the work ings of the French army. He is at the head of the Eighty-seventh division.
 The grand review of the whole of the inhabitants at Camp Pike will be given at ? o'clock Monday afternoon honoring the return of General Surg is. It will be the first review for Camp Pike. One was planned some time ago for ex-President w. H. Taft, on his visit here, but it was called off because of the poor condition of the roads.
 A rehearsal of Mondays review was given on the parade grounds between Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets and between South avenue and Railroad avenue, Saturday morning. It was re- viewed by Brig. Gen. Robert l.. Van Vliet, who has been acting head of the Eighty-seventh division during Gener- al Sturgis' absence.
 More than 10000 soldiers, officers and nrivates, participated in Saturday mornings review and it is said it was one of the most impressing spectacles witnessed at the cantonment since it's operation.
 Officers at the camp declared the men marched and acted like veterans in the rehearsal and are confident of having a grand review to celebrate the return of General Sturgis.

SMALLPOX CAUSES
 LOSS OF RIGHT EYE

Walter D. Mathews of Sheridan un derwent an operation at the Davis hospital at Pine Bluff, yesterday, in which his right eve was taken cut. He had lost the sight of the eye, per manently, and it was thought best to remove it. The operation was made necessary because of an attack of smallpox from which the young man suffered a month or more ago, and which got into his eyes. He also suf- fered recently from a severe attack of the grippe, and barely escaped pneumonia, which in connection with the smallpox, and the operation yes- terday, has left him almost a physi- cal wreck. Walters wife, and his bro- ther, John R. Mathews, of this city, were with him at the time of the op- eration.
 MT. Mathews is among the candi- dates for treasurer of this county Sheridan Headlight.

nished by the announcement last
night that beginning August 10 the
Rutland railroad will discontinue its
passenger and freight stations at
Chatham, and all business will be
done through the station of the Bos-
ton and Albany railroad at that point.
The principal object is the easier pos
sible by the change. Freight conges.
ton due to the existence of the two
stations has caused delays at the
Chatham for years, and residents of
that community have frequently com
planned of the blockade of the Kinder
hook street crossing, which was a
part of this same trouble.
The experiment at Chatham is to be
tried also in the interest of economy.
It is estimated that the disappearance
of the Rutland railroad station will
effect a saving of from $500 TO $1,000
a month. The principal difficulty will
be to care adequately for the passen
gers on the Rutland line. This is il
expected to accomplish by landing
the passengers a little south of the
present station. and building a walk
between that point and the boston
and Albany station. But 1t is prin
