WANT THE EXTENSION.

The White River extension of the Missouri Pacific railroad has the line surveyed up White river to a point above Syllamore. The surveyors are still at work and are completing the survey as they come. It is reported that the 3rd twenty miles of the road has been let. The work is being pushed on this road and they are ad- vertising for men and teams and offering free pass to hands until they get the number of hands they need. This road will pass through Marion county from the southeast corner to the northwest corner, and will touch some of the very best mineral dis tricts in the county. It will pass through the Warner Creek and Hall Mountain districts before reaching Yelleville then it will pass through the Georges Creek and part of the Jim mic Creek sections and the Dodd City and Sugar Loaf districts before going out of the county at or near the north west corner. This road when built can with very little trouble reach all the mineral of Marion county. The people of Marion county are confident that they will get a road and they are willing to do anything that is reason able to obtain it. They know this line will do them more good than any other proposed route through the county from the simple fact it passes through and near all the developed mineral lands of the county.-Yell- vile Echo.

SATURDAY NIGHTS SHOOTING.

The business portion of this peace fully inclined city, was disturbed Sat urday night between and 10 o'clock by the discharge of seven pistol shots at the corner of Front and Beech Streets.
 The atfray did not end seriously however, as one of the parties took to his heels upon the first discharge of the pistol. A negro came into the restaurant of Davis & Powell and be- gan cursing white man named Jim Smith. One of the proprietors James Davis and a clerk James Bryan or dered the negro out. He made sev- eral threats, and after put upon the street, went after gun.
 Davis was warned in the meantime and when the negro returned, opened fire upon him, with a revolver kept at the store: Seven shots were fired, but no one was hurt.

SIX TIMES AROUND THE EARTH

While the general public is vaguely aware that enormous quantities of material are used in the making of the modern magazine, comparatively few persons have any idea of the vast amount required. If the paper used in the last twelve issues of the Ladies' Home Journal, for instance, were in one gigantic strip a foot wide, it would go nearly six times around the earth at the equator, or almost forty three times from New York to San Francisco. In other words, such a strip would be more than 14O, ,OOO miles long! If the copies of single edition of The Journal were piled one on top of another, they would tower to a height of nearly two miles, almost two thousand feet more than the average height of the Alps, or half as high again as Mount Washington. To print the Journal on this hugh mass of paper takes almost 5000 gallons of ink every year.

FIRE AT SEARCY.
Business Block Destroyed By Flames Early Monday Morning Wind Was Favorable Or Loss Would Have Been
 Worse-The Work
 of Incendiaries.

One of the best business blocks of our neighboring town of Searcy was burned to the ground early Monday morning, and had it not been for the favorable wind which carried the heat in the opposite direction from the nearest adjoining building, Searcy might have been reduced to ashes, as the town has no fire company, with which to fight the flames. As it was, one whole block was lost and nearby buildings were only saved by the use of wet blankets and the whole town turning out as bucket brigade to fight any further encroachments of the flames.
 The fire started between two and three o'clock in the store of J. A. Pet ty, which had probably been robbed and then set afire to cover the tracks of the criminals. This is the view held by most citizens of Searcy, MT. Petty being out of town at the time of the occurrence. He carried a stock of general merchandise and with $4O00 insurance, his loss is thought to be en- tirely covered. The building was owned by s. Perry, insurance upon the same not known.
 The next a double store building was the property of s. Brundidge and heirs with only $500 insurance, a very small part of the loss. This was oc- cupied by R. s. Booth and the con- tents consisted of furniture and hard ware stock, which was insured.
 The third building was occupied by the shoe stock of R. R. Wilson, who carried insurance. The store building was owned by w. H. Lightle and was only slightly protected by insurance.
 Only one of the buildings was two stories in height, the second floor be- ing occupied by the local exchange of the Southwestern Telephone and Tel egraph Company, the dental office of Dr. R. s. Tullen and the law office of Green & Rachel. The last named firm lost an excellent library and had only $500 insurance. Most of the fixtures and furnishings of the two other offices were saved.

FACTS ABOUT THE FIRE.

The fire at Searcy, as related in Mondays INDEPENDENT, proved a very disastrous one to the little city and the loss will probably aggregate $15, 1000, to $2O,OOO.
 Several citizens engaged in saving the goods of threatened stores were badly injured by the explosion of a keg of powder in J. A. Pettey's store. Those carrying insurance, together with amounts of same, according to the Searcy Citizen, were as follows:- R. R. Wilson & Co.,, in Springfield Fire Insurance Go. $2,5OO.
 Mrs. Molly Neelly on two brick stores, Hartford, $1,OOO.
 J. H. McCollum, adm'r. Brundidge heirs, Hartford, $sO0
 Mrs. w. H. Lightle, two- story Brick, $2,OOO.
 R. s. Booth, Agricultural of N. Y. $500.
 R. s. Booth, German of Freeport, $500.
 R. s. Booth, in Helvetia of Swiss, N. Y. $2,OOO.
 Grant Green, in Palatine of Lon don, $70O.
 J. A. Pettey, in Phoenix, of London, $2,OOO.
 S. Perry, in Connecticut, $1,2OO.

CLARKE'S REPLY.
To The Speech of Senator Jones And
 The Latter's Closing Words.

Owing to the lateness of the speak ing, the INDEPENDENT of Wednesday, could not furnish synopsis of the re- marks of the other Senatorial candi- date, Ex- Governor James P. Clarke. We give the account of the same as published by the Arkansas Democrat
 "Governor Clarke was the second speaker and was applauded as he was introduced by Senator Hillhouse. He went right into the main issues and dw cit on the senator's long term in office only a few minutes, leaving off the usual address in an opening speech. He was prepared to show that Senator Jones had $S5O,O stock in the round-lap cotton "trust" and produced a copy of certificate show ing that Senator Jones voted that am ount of stock at a meeting of the didn't think the senator had watched after Arkansas interests as he should, and seemed to think he had been "mOnkeying" with the trusts too much and watching after his own per- sonal welfare. He said the records in New Jersey, where the company was organized, were against the senator. He read two affidavits from Texas, and referred to one or two instances in Arkansas, where they were putting in the round bale and knocking out the square bale. He discussed national politics to some extent, and gave E views on some of the main isS ,oS They agreed as to the trusts. He then explained how he came to be connec- ted with the Hudson Bank claim and at once referred to the "Fly" pam phlets, the senator's speech and the "Arkansas Democrat"
 One incident of the speaking to day that provoked some interest and ap- plause occurred when Gov. Clarke stated in reply to an intimation of Senator Jones to the effect that the Republicans were hostile to his re- election, that the big Republicans who count when it comes to outlining the policies of the party were plainly anxious to bring about his election to the senate. AS evidence of this fact he said that when the senator ob- tained the presidents consent to name one of the Worlds Fair com missioners, he named P. D. Scott, a practical politician, and turned down the endorsements and applications of Governor D. w. Jones and ex-Con-

gressman w. L. Terry, thus sh01ng' plainly that the Republicans wer fur nishing him with valuable patronage to be used in building up a political machine to advance his personal for tunes. This created a slight ripple of applause, but this was quickly turned by the senator when he began his re- joinder. He said MT. Scott was first class business man, and that al- though comparatively unknown, this was no crime, and that in his opinion to be fit for such commissionershi one need not be an ex-governor, ex- senator, ex-congressman, nor any other kind of a broken down politi- elan. Cheers and long applause.) Senator Jones took up his thirty min utes' rejoinder to the satisfaction of all, and Jones' friends claim he will carry the county by good majority"

Anarchism in Vermont.

The shooting, and possibly murder
of Chief of Police Brown of Barre by
a gang of Italian Anarchists is an
event calculated to give most Yer
monters rude jolt. That an outbreak
of Anarchism, a repetition of the
Chicago Haymarket affair, should oc-
cur in staid, sedate, law-respecting old
Vermont is, indeed, shock to all
precedent and tradition of the Green
Mountain State.
Following an officer of the law and
shooting him by stealth because, for
sooth, he has done his sworn duty in
quelling disturbances, is OF itself
shocking enough, but it is not the
worst feature about it. Other officers
have been shot while in the perform
ance of their duty, though we do not
recall any case where assassins have
gone out of their way for the apparent
purpose, not OF evading arrest, but OF
cAcCullH8 NeugcdHCc.
The worst feature of this affair is not
the deed itself, but the principle I'M

have seen Mrs. West commit adultery did
not commend itself to the court as true,
case there was nothing left; that the con-
duct OF DR.. Ellis was entirely consistent
with his legitimate duties as a physician,
and that the testimony showing that Mrs.
West went to the barn while the carpenter
was at work there only tended to show
that she took that interest in the farm
premises and work that a farmers wife
would naturally take. The petitioner
was ordered to pay 900 additional tenn.
