FOR COTTON BELT.
Extension From Lufkin Will Give Connection With Sabine Pass
 and Deep Water.

Fort Worth, Tex, NoY. 4 There is more behind the recent advances in Cotton Belt stocks and securities than the continued increase in bust- ness would involve, and parties who are in position to say state that there is no doubt that thecontrolliag interests in the Cotton Belt system have decided to extend tho line. Dur ing his recent visit to Texas Edwin Gould gave particular and careful attention to the Lufkin brauch, and at that time practically decided to build an extension from Lufkin, Tex, to a connection with the Sabine di- vision of the Southern Pacific at Roekland, Texas, giving the Cotton Belt a connection with Sabine Pass, at which port deep water is assured, and besides, opening up a new out let for the long leaf pine, which has hitherto been denied the Cotton Belt.
 From RocklaDd the line will be ex- tended through Tyler, Hardin, Lib erty and Harris counties into Hous- ton. This will place the Cotton Belt on an equal footing with any line, and the state will Lave the most di- rect line from Chicago and St. Louis to the Gulf 0. Mexico, besides open ing up some of the richest territory in Southeast Texas. Arrangements have also been perfected b, which the Cotton Belt is to be extended from Gainesville to Hamilton, a dis tanee of about fifts four miles. Plans and estimates have been submitted and discussed, aud it is highly proba. ble that operations will begin early in tbe spring of 1901.

II IS A MYSTERY
To Constable Stewart Why the PIOa- ecuting Attorney Released
 Simon Smith.

Cons table Al J. Stewart went t6 Helena Monday night to appear as witness against John Brannon, ths negro recently held here on a charge of burglarizing Voss store. Bran- non will be tried there on charge of diposing of stolen property. He was released here because the off, eels believed hat they could nos convict him owing to the fact thae Simon Smith, another negro, who admitted having entered Voss' store, had been previously released by Prosecuting Attorney Sorrel!ss who nolle pressed the case against him. Constable Stewart says he knew enough to alone convict Smith and he cannot understand why Mir. Sorrel's released him. when the latter knew that Smith had made partial confession Of his guilt.
 The Helena World says:
 "Chief of Police Phllpot, of Piae Bluff, this morning telephoned Chief Caucty, of this city, in regard ta John Brannon, Helena negro uow in jail in that city on charge 0S burglary.
 "Brannon was recently arrested 1 in Memphis aud sent to Pine Blufa where the case against him was aa plain as day l D fact the negro was arrested here in He.ena shortif after tbe commission of the .criufe aud number of the stolen articles were recovered and sent back to Pine Bluff Brannon's partner aIs0 made full confession to the Helena authorities at the time, was eou. victed and sen tenced and after wards pardoned.
 "Chief Clancy told the Pine Bluff authorities where plenty Of evidence could De secured 10 couVlcb faRAS-- non but Chief Philpot said that something stood in the way of q conviction, and that the prisoner
 would probably have to be released Chief Clancy then told the Pine Bluff authorities to hold Brannoa. until be could send for him and bring him to Helena, where there will be DO trouble in convictlng hi01 of bringing stolen property iuto tde couoty und dsposing of it. :"

FOUND. THE SUPPOSED KIDNAPPED CHILDREN LOCATED IN
 PINE BLUFF. |. E. ROUSE CARED FOR FEM Negro Porter Was Not Trusted The Story of the Little
 Girls Trip.
L. E. ROUSE CARED FOR FEM
Negro Porter Was Not Trusted

The supposed kidnapped children of Mrs. M. c. Stevens, of Hummer vile, have been found. They were not kidnapped but On the other hand were being well cared for and seemed contented at their new home.
 The Daily Graphic, undoubtedly the only paper in Pine Bluff, was responsible for the restoration of the children to their mother. IL contained an exclusive story of the disappearance of the little girls and the circumstances leading to same.
 Monday afternoon when Mrs. M. c. Robinson, wife of the well known propritor of the Dewey House, read the account of the children's loss in the Graphic, she remembered that she had seen two pretty little girls, answering the description of those named, with Mir. E. B. Rouse, man. ager of the Gem Photo Company's office, over Lloyd's grocery on Main street, and notified the police to that effect.
 Detective Culpepper, who had been working on the case all day, went to Rouse's place and asked him about the children. Mr. Rouse said that he was on the train upon which were the little girls en route to Little Rock. He, too, was going to Little Rock, and seeing the children were alone he tock an in- terest in them. He added that the little girls were friendly little tots, talkiog to and playing with all the passengers on the train and made themselves admired generally.
 MT. Ed Bernard, manager of the Pine Bluff Commission office, was also passenger on the train and said one of the girls, seeing his dia= nond in bis tie, ran up to him and offered him a nickIe for the stone. "They are the cutest and prettiest little children I have seen in long time remarked" 7" Mr. Bernard.
 Whe1 the train reached Little Rock and the little girls could not aod their unee, who was supposed to meet them, they began to cry. Mr. Rouse took them in hand and told them that he would find their uncle.
 Soon after their arrival there the negro porter on the Ptummerville train came up and demanded that the children be turned over to him. He was so very impudent and rough in bls manners that Mir. Rouse thought it best to keep the little ones in his charge. He made every effort to locate their relatives but failed. Just before he got ready to return to this city ne went to a policeman and told him that II a woman called at headq quarters for her little ones to tell her that she co,1a find them at 4254 Main street, Pine Bluff. He then returned here with the children and placed them under the care and at the home ol Mrs. Hardness, who resides across the bride on East Second avenue.
 The name given to Detective Cul- nepper was "Ross" and No. AUD. Roth were incorrect and that is re snonsible for the trouble experienced in locating the children.
 Mrs. Stevens returned to Little Rock Monday afternoon to, II pos sible. learn something that would lead to the whereabouts of her ls- tle oae s. She is very pretty litus

woman and seemed greatly worried over the matter. She was notified by wire last night that her little children had been found and arrived here this morning from Little Rock. Detective Culpepper took the little ones to her at the Mullen s house.
