RECEIPTS TO NOVEMBER.

The cotton season is expected to be of shorter duration this year than last, but the receipts up to November first, compared with those of 1900, show a falling off of sO5 bales, a much smalle r number than was generally anticipat- ed after the discouraging reports of the summer and early fall.
 One month ago, the cotton crop was estimated at one third of a full crop but more optimistic views now pre- vail and buyers generally claim the yield will be 50 per cent of full crop The good weather of the past month has done much to bring this about, opening much cotton that was not ex- pected to mature.
 To October first, the receipts for 1901 were 1416 as compared with 1643 for 1900. The number of bales re- ceived at the various local yards to November first are compared for the two years in the table below:

STABBING AT STUTTGART.

Stuttgart, November GA. A. Tin dall, editor of the Stuttgart Republi- can, was attacked in the Metropolitan Hotel by w. M: IT,, Byron and Hub Price, brothers, all of this place. Bly, ron Price is alleged to have made threats against Tindall quite freely on account of an article pub lished in the Republican some time ago relative to an affair in which he (Price) is said to have participated at Pine Bluff. The three brothers went to the hotel and called Tindall from the dining room. When he reached the office he was seized and stabbed twice, once in the back and once over the heart.. His wounds are not con sidered serious.
 This escapade referred to occurred in Pine Bluff month ago, when three Stuttgart boys were arrested on a charge of robbery, but were re- leased.

MARRIED IN ST. LOUIS.

MT. Henry F. Kath, of New Boston, Ill.,. who has made Newport head quarters since July, was married in St. Louis on Tuesday to Miss Ernest inc Fedder, of Iowa.
 They arrived in Newport Wednes- day and are boarding at the Hazel, expecting to make this city their home, so long as shell gathering proves an industry along this section of White river.
 It might be interesting to know to what mammoth proportions this line of industry has been carried, that MT. Kath has purchased 2,5O0,000 pounds of shells at this market since August 4th.
 The groom is very pleasant gen. tleman whose business dealings have given him popularity and prestige even on short acquaintance.
 The INDEPENDENT congratulates him.

HO.XIE OPTIMISTIC.

Hoxie, Ark; Nov. 5.-Our people are rejoicing over the sale of the Hoxie, Pocahontas and Northern railroad to the South Missouri and Arkansas people, believing that it means the dawn of new day for this place. With three great railroads, the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and South ern, the "Frisco," and the Southern Missouri & Arkansas, backed, as it is believed, by the Illinois Central, we believe that the day is not far distant when this will be a great railroad cen ter and one of the best places in the state.

OPOSSUM HUNT AND SUPPER.

A party of young people composed of Misses Susie Jones, Mary Laird Hester and Josie Phillips, Messrs. J. w. Hutchinson, Herman Tilghman, Will and Ed Sprigg, Robert Laird and Wm. O'Neal, chaperoned by Mrs. Ig- natius Sprigg drove out to Norris field on the Jacksonport road We'd nesday evening, where they enjoyed a coon and opossum hunt with the hounds and were successful in bagging one of each.
 Upon the return of the party to town, supper in which opossum was theSchief dish was served at the home of Miss Susie Jones and all proceeded to cultivate taste for spossum." That the evening, which included a few df the wee small hours of morn ing, was hugely enjoyed, is proven in the plans already on foot for another hunt.

PAPER MONEY BLOWN TO PIECES
Particulars of the Black Rock Bank Robbery. Blood Hounds Were Unable to Strike the Trail. Detectives Employed
 On Case.

The blood hounds from this county, belonging to MT. Ike Stephens and taken to Black Rock Wednesday aft ernoon upon 54 by the owner, in re- sponse to call from the officials of the burglarized bank, could not find the trail of the bandits and were brought back Thursday morning.
 Three thousand people had been upon the streets of Black Rock and the trail was over twelve hours old, these two factors making it impossi- ble for the dogs to do effective work.
 The little town on Black River is much wrought up over the midnight visitation of this gang of desperadoes, who rival the James boys and the Dalton gang in the boldness of their methods.
 Detectives from St. Louis were tele- graphed for by the bank and were ex- pected to arrive Wednesday night. MT. Stephens in conversation with reporter for the INDEPENDENT gave many of the particulars of the burg lary not told in the dispatch of We'd nesday. The detonation of the ex- plosion, it seems awakened the whole town. The office and vault were wrecked, the safe blown into smither- eens and it's contents scattered every where. From the amount of scraps and small particles of paper money found in the building, it is thought that most of the same was destroyed. The silver currency was not touched, doubtless being considered too un- wieldy to carry.
 One man, who roomed in a store building near the bank, was aroused by the explosion and ran to the front of the store, where he says he saw seven we'll armed men pass. He start ed to open the door but was greeted by pistol shot and told to keep on the inside. This man says the robbers were not masked or disguised and that they wore spurs upon their boots. This statement has given rise to the belief that the robbers had horses nearby and have taken to the hills to escape.

BAPTIST BATHING.

On Wednesday afternoon at three o'clock the ordinance of baptism was administered by immersion into White river to six persons, recently received into the Baptist church of this city.
 The pointfchosen for the purpose was just above the elevator, the rite being performed by Rev. H. E. Gab- by, pastor of the Baptist church. A number of the church members were present, the candidates for the sacra- ment being Misses Fannie Baird, Maud Wright, Maud Belt, Ella Boykin, Jessie Harper and Mrs. Rice Harper.

TO CONSULT THE PREsIDl
Taylor Burns, of Black Rock, T Attorney For S.. M. & A., On His Way to See President
 Newman Erb.

MT. Taylor Burns, of Black Rock, the local attorney at that point of the South Missouri & Arkansas Railroad. was in Newport Tuesday, the guest of his friends, Messrs. Percy Finch and G.. A. Hillhouse.
 He was on his way to St. Louis, for the purpose of consulting Presi- dent Newman Erb, in regard to the intentions of the road, since the pur- chase of the Hoxie, Pocahontas & Northern. He has already been in- formed that this acquisition will not affect the original intention of the road to build from Pocahontas to Black Rock, the latter town having agreed to provide the right -ofway and terminal facilities asked for.
 MT. Burns is of the opinion that the Pocahontas- Hoxie line, recently pur- chased will be extended to Newport regardless of any action taken upon the Black Rock division. He expects to return via Newport and may have more authentic information which he can impart at that time, and which will be of interest to Newport.

The postoffice department has issu- ed an advertisement inviting bids for carrying the mails on all star routes in Arkansas from July 1, 1902 to June 30, 1906, which will be received at the office of the Second Assistant Post master General, Washington, D. O., until 4 p. m., of December 8, 1901.
 The following information was given the INDEPENDENT by R. M. Thomas, Assistant Superintendent of the Rail- way Mail Service, with headquarters at Little Rock, who was in Newport Tuesday.
 A radical departure is made from the system heretofore in vogue. No bid submitted will be considered un- less the bidder will agree in his bid that, in the event of the service being awarded to him, he will reside on or contiguous to the route and personal ly supervise the performance of the service.
 This practically limits the bidding to local bidders, only, which should re- suit in an improved service. Any person desiring to make a bid on a star route should call on his post master for blank proposal and in- structions as to executing bid. The contracts, which will be execut- ed under this advertisement will O. vide for free delivery of mail on all star routes. Carriers performing ser- vice beginning July 1, 1902, will be re- quired to deliver mail into boxes erected by persons living along the roads travelled by them, free of charge. They will not be required to collect mail from such boxes but they will be !. required to receive all mail handed to them and deposit it in the first post office reached after receiving it. So far as the delivery of mail is concern ed this system will be the equal of regular rural delivery service.
 STAR ROUTES IN JACKSON COUNTY. In the state of Arkansas, there are 726 star routes involving distance of $500 miles. Very few postoffices in this county are off the railroad and consequently Jackson county's share of the star routes is small one. Below is given list of the same, showing the amounts paid for the pre- sent service:
 l Newport by Elmo to Oil Trough, F miles and back, six times a week. Present contract pay $249, sub con tract pay $275.
 Pennington by Remmel to Newport, 16.5O miles and back, three times a week. Present contract pay $97 .5C for twice a week service, sub-contract pay $1s7.5O.

BLACK ROCK, ARK, Nov. 6.

BLACK ROCK, ARK, Nov. 6. Special Dispatch to Independent
 The Bank of Black Rock was bur- glarized at two o'clock this morning. The safe was blown open by nitro- glycerine, after entrance had been secured to the vault.
 $2,20O in currency and $500 in county and city scrip was stolen, to- gether with pearls valued at $1O,OOO, the property of w. D. Burd, the we'll known Black Rock pearl buyer.
 MT. Burd merely used the bank vault as a safe depository for his pearls and is heavy loser by the burglary. The bank carried insurance against burglars and will lose nothing.
 Bloodhounds have been telegraghed for and all nearby points informed of the burglary, but there are few clues upon which the officers may work.
 R. M. Johnson, cashier of the Bank of Newport early Wednesday morn ing received telegram from Jay J. Bryan, cashier of the Bank of Black Rock, announcing the burglary and asking for the blood hounds belong ing to Ike Stephens, kept at the county farm. They were sent for and taken to Hoxie on 54, which was an hour late. The owner fears that they will arrive too late to be of any service in following the trail.
 R. c. Wallace received wire from w. D. Burd, who is we'll known here, informing him of his loss and asking that all pearl dealers be notified.
 H. w. Clopton, a pearl buyer who has made Black Rock headquarters for the past season, informed a re- porter for the INDEPENDENT that on Monday MT. Burd had seven pearls in deposit at the bank for which he had paid $12,OOO and enough other small ones to run the total over $2O,OOO.
 In describing the bank building, which is situated in the center of a business block on Main street, he said the building was an elegant pressed brick front, and contained modern fire proof vault, with good safe. The officers of the bank are J. T. Brady, president; w. T. Townsend, vice. president; Jay J. Bryan, cashier and George Henry, assistant cashier.
