 and Provides for
 Future.

Alter returning twenty-six indict- ments the Independence county grand jury has adjourned. In it's report to Judge Fulkerson the grand jury says:
 "On the morning of March 31, 1902, four prisoners escaped from jail. We have investigated this and find that the person or persons having charge of the jail were negligent in the dis charge of their duty, and we recom- mend that all persons accused or con- victed of felonies shall be kept in the cage of the jail at night, and that a high and strong barbed wire fence shall be erected around the yard of the jail to prevent friends of prisoners giving assistance to escape, and that nobody except officers having charge of the jail shall be allowed inside of said jail yard, except persons having lawful business in said yard, and then they shall be accompanied by an off, cer having charge of the jail."

INQUEST VERDICT SAYS SUICIDE.

The verdict in the inquest upon the body of Mrs. Blanche Gordon, returned late Friday afternoon, was that the deceased had come to her death by a shot from 38 calibre revolver at her own hands.
 The examination of witnesses was held behind closed doors and the tes- timony brought forth is not a matter of record. From the evidence adduc- ed, there can exist no reasonable doubt but that the deceased was a victim of her own suicidal intentions.
 Of the two shots fired, only one struck the body, entering the center of the chest, and probably resulted in almost immediate death for the woman.
 The burial was held Saturday morn ing about ten o'clock.

PEARLS AND SHELLS.

The best pearl find made this year was that of a negro Woodson w. Sherrill, who lives on lower Front street, who on Thursday found pearl weighing 107 grains. He had been working at the Kelley mill until week ago, when he began pearling at Rol- len bend, three quarters of mile be- low here with the above mentioned success. The pearl is button shaped and has good lustre; the owner is holding same for $2,5OO.
 0. A. Windau Friday morning pur- chased 3 grain, perfectly round pearl for $2O.
 Shells on Thursday were command ing $9 a ton; and as several buyers have announced that they will pay not less than $S at all times, the chances are that present prices will be maintained. The higher the prices that prevail, the more profitable and enticing the industry becomes and the labor problem promises to become serious to the planters, during the present crop season, for while the re muneration in agricultural pursuits is more certain, the "get rich quick'' lines of industry appeal strongest both to the American and the negro.

experiment. to the rear of the store, Friday about one o'clock p. m.
 Two shots had been heard in that neighborhood one hour previous and as revolver lay near the fallen form of the woman, it is reasonable to sup pose she was the victim of her own suicidal intentions.
 One ball had entered the chest, but the other had probably missed the mark, the husband being away at the time of the awful happening. The two were married hardly two months ago, and no reason is known for the deed.

DEPART FOR DALLAS.
Confederate Veterans Leave for Re- union at Dallas Fifty two Tickets
 for Choctaw Special

If every Southern community was as loyal in it's commemoration of the four years struggle of the South in defense of the slost cause" as is Jack son county and contributed as liberally it's quota of veterans and their sons and daughters to the reunions of those who followed the "stars and bars," a city of even Dallas facilities for hand ling crowds, would hardly be suffi- cient.
 Jackson and Independence counties have contributed over one hundred people to this reunion, for which the first named is largely responsible. There were 52 people upon the special train, which left here Monday at 2:3O a. m. over the Choctaw, including nearly all the representatives of the Tom Hindman Camp. The train con- sisted of two elegant cars, one high back, leather cushioned car and the other chair car with all modern ap- pointments and conveniences. This oA o1u WCO uuG UO dTflV0 III DdllaS at D p. m. the same day. The Iron Noun tain caught the larger part of the Batesville contingent and sold 50 Dal- las tickets

STATE STATISTICS FROM
 UNITED STATES CENSUS.

The United States census for Arkan- sas says:
 The value of animal products in 1899, was $20, ,377 ,278, or 3O.8 per cent of the gross farm income. Of the above amount 426 per cent represents the value of animals sold and slaughtered on farms; 33.9 per cent, that of dairy produce; 22.1 per cent, that of poultry and eggs; and IA per cent, that of wool, mohair, honey and wax. The production of milk in 1899 was 55, ,535, ,720 gallons greater thanin 1889, an increase of over one hundred per cent. The quantity of butter made on farms, however, increased but 37.3 per cent, and that of cheef decreased 13.S per cent, indicating that the mak- ing of butter and cheese is being grad ually transferred from the farm to the creamery and cheese factory. Of the $6,912, ,459 given as the value of all daily products in 1899, $5, 1886, ,12S, or S4.9 per cent, represents the value ] of such products consumed on farms, and $1, ,046,331, or 15.1 per cent, the amount realized from sales. Of the latter sum, $596,785 was derived from the sale of 3,797,646 pounds of butter; $443,756, from 4,238,852 gallons of milk; $4,941, from COOS gallons of cream, and $S49, from 8,032 pounds of cheese.
 The total value of the poultry pro- ducts of 1899 was $4,5O8, ,143, of which 51.7 per cent represents the value of eggs and 48.3 per cent that of poultry raised. Of the farmers of the state 156 1922, or SIS per cent, reported poul- try in 1900. The average return per farm was $14.84 for eggs and $13.S9 for poultry The number of eggs pro- duced has practically doubled during each decade since 1879. In that year the production was 6,61O,O5O dozens; in 1889, 13,371 1909, and in 1899, 25,- 694, 1860. ..-
 Although 30.8 per cent fewer sheep were reported in 1900 than in 1890, an increase of PAP per cent is shown in the quantity of wool produced. This is the result of marked improvement in the grade of sheep kept, and con- sequent increase in the average weight of feeces. In 1880 the average weight was 2.3 pounds; in 1890, 2.4 pounds, and in 1900, 3.3 pounds.

PARDONS SIMMONS.
Governor Pays His Political Debts by
 Exercise of Pardoning Power.

Robert Simmons, convicted in last term of court in twenty-four cases of the illegal sale of whisky, and fined $50 in each case, a total of $1, 1,2OO in fines besides the costs, was on Thurs day relieved by the governor of this state from the payment of the above fines and costs.
 The last grand jury returned over twice this number of indictments, which have not been made public however, as they have never been served. Simmons is not in town and is reported to have gone to Texas.
 A petition ten feet long, asking the governor to grant this pardon is re- ported to have been filed with him, but this will not excuse his action in the eyes of majority of the best citi- zens of Newport.
 Governor Davis is paying his poli- tical debts by an exercise of the par doning power. "Executive clemen- cy'' has come to mean this in Arkan- sas. Sympathy with the law in ques- tion under which the conviction was secured is not factor in the premises. The defendant was fairly tried for of- lenses against law which he wilfully violated, and convicted in our estab- lished courts, but the Governor has stepped in and set aside that verdict in the furtherance of his own political ambitions. Demagogues of the Davis type are short lived, and overt acts of this character are first necessary that the people may see them in their true light.

SPECIFICATIONS SUBMITTED.
Agent Gregg of the Iron Mountain Receives Plans for Handsome $1O,0O0 Depot Edifce
 at Newport.

The crusade inaugurated not long ago by the Business Mems League toward securing a new passenger depot at the Iron Mountain station, has apparently begun to bear fruit and the day does not now seem far distant when handsome edifice of buff brick with slate roof will stand in the place of the present shack, credit to our city and one which will turn the eyes of many passenger our way.
 Thhplans and specifications for this building, which is to be story and half in height, have been submitted to MT. Gregg, agent at this city and by him returned with certain recom- mendations.
 The present depot is not more than 12 to 15 feet from the track but the new one will be separated from the track by 35 foot platform, throwing the depot almost even with Front Street, allowing plenty of room for the baggage and express trucks with O'to oNO1 pOoOlC.
 The ticket and telegraph office, which is IS by 13 1-2 feet, will have an entrance by vestibule from Walnut Street, and another small vestibule from the other side will allow train men to enter and register.
 To the north of the ticket office is the colored waiting room, 16 by 2S feet, while on the other side to the south, is the white waiting room 24 by 28 feet.
 Beyond the colored waiting room will be the baggage room 23 by B feet, and as part of the building, the ex- press office 23 by 25 feet, making the whole building 125 feet in length, which would extend it beyond the present site of the express office.
 A stairway is built from one of the vestibules to the second floor, where it is probable several office rooms will be arranged. MT. Gregg in his report upon the plans, advocated adding about ten feet to the length of both the white waiting room and baggage room
 The building as planned is estimated by the road architect to cost $1O,0OO and the coming summer will probably witness it's construction.
