in the year 1886, when he was de-

earth before that time, however, for
there are species of fossil skunks. The
skunks of the genus Chinca range
over the greater portion of North
America and as far south as Mexico.
Other skunks are found in Central and
South America. They live in burrows,
either of other animals, or made by
themselves. Their habits are chiefly
nocturnal, and they hibernate only in
the severest part Of winter. Their
food consists of small animals, of in
secUs and birds eggs Grasshoppers

The human body, it has been found,
is shorter at night than in the morn
ing, due to the weight of the body
compressing the intervertebral carti-
lagos. During sleep, or while in re
cumbent position, the pressure being
removed, their natural elasticity en-
ables them to resume their normal
size. consequently the height of
an individual will vary from three
eighths to half an inch between morn
ing and night.

TO BUILD TO PITTSBURG.

Topeka, Dec. 17.-It is said that up- on the completion of the Missouri Pacific's White River Valley line, now surveyed and building between Bates vile, Ark, and Carthage, Mo-, it will be extended to Pittsburg, Kan, and made part of the K, N & D. The ietters K., N. & D. stand for "Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota" neglected md little used road that runs from Fort Scott northwest to Topeka. It was constructed by the late Col. A. A. Harris some years ago and turned over to the Missouri Pacific, but it never rose to first class line, and it's chief business now is hauling coal. The Missouri Pacific already has an almost straight line from Fort Scott to Pitts burg and by taking out a little kink north of Pittsburg and closing a short gap between there and Carthage the company would have a direct and usful line from the Kaw valley to a connection with the Iron Mountain at Batesville.

BAFFLED THE FooTPADs.

The hold-up, which was reported to have occurred Saturday night, but of which the marshal and sheriff had received no notice Monday and was discounted for this reason, did occur. says Lee Bauguess, who visited the INDEPENDENT office Wednesday and gives the following version of the affair.
 He boards at Henry Kath's and was returning home about dark Saturday evening, when at the cotton yard of the Wolff Goldman Mercantile Com pany he was accosted by a fellow, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, with dark mustache, who pretended to have a crippled hand and asked for help.
 Just then a smaller man, about five feet in height and shabbily dressed, jumped from the darkness at Bau- guess throat, but thNlatter landed on his forehead and knot led him down. Seeing what a good account of himself Bauguess was able to give, the foot pads lost no time in getting away.

LEWIS MORRISON IN FAUST.

Lewis Morrison, an actor of world wide reputation, who has achieved this distinction in the finest exposition of Mephisto, the stage has ever shown. was greeted by very shall house Tuesday evening at the local theater. The show probably promised more than any attraction for several seasons Tn the way of something high class and Newport people by their failure to patronize such an entertainment. haven't anything coming to their lot on the score of deserving good attrac- tions. It rather seems they have been the recipients of more than their deserts
 Nothing but compliment can be said of Lewis Morrison, but he surely knows the art of impersonation better Tn himself than others, that is, if he had anything to do in the selection of his company, who while what might be called very lame "fair," were not fit travelling companions of so great an actor.

FAVORS DISPENSARY LAW.

Augusta, Dec. 16.-Prof. o. L. Duna- way, principal of the Augusta city schools and one of the representative teachers of eastern Arkansas, is an earnest advocate of Senator Collins dispensary bill. He estimates from the reports of profits in states having dispensaries, that if one-half of the profits from dispensary sales in this state be given the schools, it will dou- ble the fund we now have. He also sees better school buildings, better paid teachers, without additional taxes. He sees also in the measure the preservation to the people of local option, by which they can vote out the dispensary.

WHITE RIVER BEGINS TO FALL.

White River, after reaching 24 feet on the Newport guage, which is but a couple of feet below the danger line, has begun to fall, though Black river shows no indications of falling. A telephone message from Elgin Thurs day morning stated that Black river had risen 8 inches from p. m We'd nesday to a. m. next day.
 Though White shows a rise of 1.3 feet since Wednesdays report, a foot fall is reported from Batesville and the highest water is undoubtedly passed.
 The water has been pouring in at the levee gates and repair work is said to be necessary in many places if the city is to be protected from future rises.

BUTTON FACTORY
 FOR LITTLE ROCK

Another enterprise is on the tapis to be established in Little Rock, and tests and the search for material to be used in the output of the factory were begun Tuesday says the Democrat.
 B. B. Becker of the Standard Button Works of Erie, Pa, accompanied by Frank Vandeventer and John w. Wal lace, button cutters and experts in the shell business, are in the city, and will make trip on the Arkansas riv- CT in search of mussel shells, which, if found in quantities sufficiently large, will mean the establishment of a branch factory in Little Rock. The Standard Button Works formerly con- ducted branch at Muscatine, Iowa, but this has been discontinued, and in searching around for another site MT. Becker has hit upon this city. He says the factory which is likely to be opened here will be fifty-s saw plant, and will employ fifty five men. There are already three button factories in Arkansas, located at Newport, De- Vall's Bluff and Black Rock, and they are all of about the same capacity as the institution contemplated for Little Rock.
