RICHES IN COTTON STALKS.
Useful in the Production Of Paper
Sugar and Other Commodities.

Sugar and Other Commodities.
A new source of wealth for residents
of the southern states has been dis
covered. Some months ago M. w.
Marsden of Philadelphia and Joseph
Vile of Kentucky had lot of cotton
stalks shipped to Philadelphia to have
them analysed, to find if there was
something valuable in them. They
returned to Gonzales, Tex, recently
with samples of what was found in
them and exhibited them to a meet
ing of citizens.
The stalks were found to contain
from So to 81 worth of sugar to the
ton, to make fine samples of paper SUI
perior to wood pulp two pieces of ma
terial resembling celluloid, smokeless
powder composition, alcohol and val
liable fertilizer.
Mr.. Marsden thought that an acre
of average stalks would amount to
about three tons and that in the south
100000 tons of stalks were going to
waste that were capable of producing
that many hundred million dollars
These gentlemen show their faith in
their Investigations by offering to
erect plant at Gonzales for the con
version of the stalks into the various
articles shown at a cost of $4,000
with a possible increase to $250,00 il
the citizens would take $4,000 pre-
ferred stock. There is no such plan,
or industry yet in operation.

PEELED their untired warriors to go
through this, some to 100 feet dis
lance, as test of their nerves or
endurance
This narrow opening leads to a
large subterranean cave. apparently
artificial. into which whatever came
through the vent or sluiee was
emptied. In my opinion the larger is
an important subterranean cave well
worthy of full investigation. A great
many stone slabs from the coping
and wall overhead have fallen into
and blocked the mouth of this cave.
The Indians living nearby say that
whoever enters the cave never re-
turns. This is probably true, as the
accumulated foul gases would quickly
suffocate one.
IAN old time gentleman, II years
of age, whom L met on a train, inform
ed me that at one time he and five
other young men made an attempt to
explore this cave. Three remained
at the entrance while the other three
with lighted wax matches in hand
cautiously CROPPED their way inward
They had gone some sixty feet when
one called to the others to come in
and see the wonderful objects which
ornamented the walls. The sound OF
this young mans voice was sc
startling that, as he expressed it, "a
sudden gust of wind extinguished tn.
light, and then-well, they reached the
open air again and lived to tell the
tale to their progeny"
Some of the shepherds, who al
different times missed sheep from
their flocks. in lowered voices spoke
of a two headed man or object who
used to be seen emerging from this
cave; but they asserted that since the
entrance had been closed by falling
stones he had not been seen, but that
loud unearthly murmurings had beer
heard, coming as it seemed to them
/ from the bowels of the mountain.
"As matter of history, during the
fiOhSh lhNdsiOA bSH. 1IlSlODd
Palacios remodeled some OF the outer
walls, and at one time. between 1868
81, more than 1000 Mexican soldiers
were stationed in the castle. In fact
a roadway was made and cannon
brought into the fort.
There is every reason, considering
the data obtained, to believe that thi;
/ fortress was built not less than 70C
years ago by the first inhabitants OF
Anahuac; but Mexico's history, prior
to the Spanish conquest, is shroudet
under that same veil of mystery a!
were the lives of the many un
fortunates who disappeared during
Torquemada's reign of inquistoria
murder and terror.

John Drew. And yet another recent
addition is the famous Rant library of
nearly 5000 volumes, mainly dealing
with the Ottoman Empire and the
eastern question. Among the many
unpublished manuscripts bequeathed
the library is Justin Winsor's Life of
David Garrick. In its newspaper room
the library is said to have the largest
existing collection of American news
papers.
AS has been said already the library,
splendidly as it has been enriched
from year to year by individual gifts
of books, pamphlets, plates, etc., and
of money by the Strengthening of its
various collections, has never received
outside aid in the shape of a building
in which to house its accumulated
treasudes. Unlike other colleges and
universities, Harvard has practically
done her own building, its administra-
ton, however, being nearly covered by
funds contributed for that purpose,
| that of Mr.. William Coolidge Lane,
who, some years ago. succeeded the
Wei known American historian Justin
| Winsor in that office. The library was
already cramped for space during Mr..
! Winsor's administration, although
Gore hall, when completed in 1884,
was expected to supply its needs for at
least century. AS Mr.. Lane has him
| self pointed out, the need for an addi-
tional endowment to carry on the man.
! fold and growing work of the library
is urgent as the need of a new build
ing; yet neither of these can be met by
| the university whose funds are almost
invariably provided for special objects
and so cannot be used for the pur-
poses that are sometimes of more i'm
mediate Importance than those for
which they are primarily given. The
question of endowment, in Mr.. Lanes
opinion, is indeed of first Importance
fer even as it stands today the library
is hampered by lack of ready money.
"A million added to the endowment
fund" as he recently said, would
doubtless make the library independ-
ent of the college treasury for many
years, and would be of enormous bene-
fit to the library and the college at
large. l wish that some generous lover
of learning might be moved to make
this ample provision for the library,
on condition that the graduates of the
college would unite in providing a
building"
Just what form such a building
would take, whether it would be an
entirely new structure or an adapta-
ton of the present Gore hall with its
charming reminiscent atmosphere OF
Kings college chapel at Cambridge
England, is still an undecided question
But there is a strong feeling in the ali
of Cambridge that the college library
rich in books, traditions and scholarly
helpfulness, will soon find means tt
expand it's quarters and begin a new
era of usefulness with larger readinl
rooms, more space for books, privat,
rooms for the use of professors AM
advanced students, and better accom-
modations for the countless details o

The editor of this paper has been bought, so says Slippery Elm John from Ingleside. ]" The statement is absolutely false and is only made to discredit the fight the Independent has put up to show the insincerity and corrupt ion of his pretended idol, Jeff" :" We don't have to be bought to support decency and honesty in politics, and believing as we do that Governor Davis has betrayed the trust of the people and abused his high office wilfully and shame lessly, we could not be honest to ourselves and fulfill our duty as a paper and remain silent when such a crisis confronts our peo- pie. The editor flatters himself that he does not enjoy this repu- tation of being open to purchase.
 He never has and he never will, for he values his good name and reputation as an honest man be- yond the accumulation of money, and we hurl this charge back in it's makers face as a lie without a scintilla of foundation. It is made simply for political effect and to prejudice the people, and it does not speak we'll for the maker when he seeks office by slandering others who would show up the falsity of his repre- sentations.

FAMILY REUNION.

A family reunion of the Askew family was held at the home of R. H. Askew Thursday night. The occasion was the celebration of the seventieth birthday of Mrs. Sarah AskeW.
 The following of her children were present, with five grand children: Mrs. Mattie Moore, J. w. Jackson, R. H. Askew, Mrs. Joe Balmaz of this city, and G. w. Jackson and Mrs. Belle Adams of Batesville.
 The children had ordered beau tiful flowers from Little Rock as a small token of their appre- citation of her presence with them on this joyous occasion.
 The reunion was a complete surprise to Mrs. ASkeW, as every- thing had been planned secretly. A bountiful supper was served by Mrs. R. H. Askew, who had left nothing undone to make the evenings enjoyment a pleasure to all.

The Davis men in this county have been circulating a slip con- taining an affidavit from the father of little Ester Warren, de- nying much of the sworn state ment of the grand father. The latter now makes affidavit that the father was not with his child at the time of his death and had not been for two weeks. He further sWears that R. A. Howie,
 who secured this bit of Davis literature, expressed his belief in it's falsity, but as he was paid S5 to secure same, that was all he cared for. The attending physician, Dr. E. o. McDermott, also confirms under oath the grandfather's story. Which are you going to believe, voters of Jackson county, the grandfather who cared for the maimed child and carried through the courts the damage suit in behalf of the little fellow, or the father who cared so little for his offspring that he was not even in attend ance upon his death bed the last two weeks of the little boys life? Is a parent, who showed such slight evidence of love for his own son, entitled to credence?

The Wood club of Little Rock at it's last meeting adopted with enthusiasm a resolution binding it's members to vote against li- cense in the fall election if the liquor dealers combine to secure the nomination of Davis to a third term in defiance of time honored and sacred Democratic principles and traditions. - They were right and many of the strongest supporters of licensed saloons in this city have ex- pressed the same intention. The saloon man has the right of every citizen to vote and exercise his influence as an individual in an election, but the use of whiskey in an ielection is prohibited by law and if the saloon men try to perpetuate through booze a machine that has brought dis 1 grace upon the state by it's cor ruption and fragrant abuse of office, they will find a powerful public sentiment arrayed against them when the issue of license comes up in the September elec- tion.

A TANGLED RELATIONSHIP.
Can You Tell What the Kinship iss


Louisville Courier Journal
Such persons as are predisposed to
the Is puzzle. How Old is Ann? and
other strenuous mental exercises can
try this one. 1t is a question which
is passed up to the Jefferson Circuit
Court for decision. though II Is more
than probable that the Judge will side
step 1t when he hands down his rul-
ing.
B. H. Caldwell and D. w. Caldwell
are relatives, and D. w. Caldwell is
the plaintiff in a suit against the Lou
isvilie Trust Company as receiver of
tho defunct Citizens Building and Loan
Association. Both Caldwells live in
Russellville and are wealthy citizens
In the deposition of B. H. Caldwell
taken in support of D. w. Caldwell
claim in the suit, he was asked to ex-
plain his relationship to the plaintiff,
]. C. Burnett, the questioning attor-
ney. did not fancy what the answer
would be. This Is what the witness
said:
Il can't see what bearing my rela-
tionship TO D. w. Caldwell can have
on the matter In controversy, nor why
such relationship should prevent either
of us from correctly detailing the facts.
as your question would covertly seem
to insinuate when taken in connection
with others, but / have not the slight
est objection to giving you this rela-
tionship as accurately as ! am able to
do. When D. WIS grandfather died
his widow married her first husband 8
nephew, this second husband being my
own grandfather. Having the same
mother but different fathers. the father
of D. w. and my own father were
half brothers, and l presume that upon

Our grandmother's first husband. who
was the father OF d. VS. father was
the uncle of the second husband. who
was the father of my father, and,
therefore, the first husbands son. D.
IS father, was the first cousin or
the second husband, my fathers faith
err; D. VS. father being first cousin
| u the second husband, he was there
fore second cousin to my father. who
was the son Of the second husband. d.
VS. father and my father being sec
ond cousins. d. VS. father was there

third cousin his son, D. w, is on this
score my fourth cousin. 1t must also
father was the stepfather of d. WIS
father. and was therefore d. VS.
step grandfather. My father and d.
VS. grandfather. who were. as stated,
brothers and second cousins mar
ried two ladies' who were themselves
first cousins. My mother being the
first cousin of D. VS. mother she
was therefore second cousin to D. w,
who was the son of her first cousin.
D. w, being the second cousin of my
mother. is therefore on this score my
third cousin. 1t should also be borne
in mind that my mother is the aunt in
law of d. w, while his mother Is
also my aunt-in-law. I regret that I
cannot more definitely answer what
relation am TO d. w. 1t is a matter
over which have long puzzled my own
brain. and since It has been brought
into this case I should be pleased II
the exact relationship existing between
us can be definitely settled"
After Mr.. Caldwell had finished he
suggested that the Judge settle the
matter by a Judgment from the bench.
Attorney Pratt Dale is counsel for
the plaintiff.
