 John Chaf1in's fortune has been placed at the disposal of fthose recognizing the concern and the paper which caused the difficulty is said to be the best guarantee that no great financial disturbance will follow.
 The decline of only Q a1quarter to one point in American securities in London today indicates that the monied men here and abroad believe the three thousand banks holding the Chaflin paper will be well supported, past any chance of embarrassment. It is also the general belief that the forty thousand Chafin employees throughout the country will be thrown out of work only a few days.

Record Days Of Summer

Newport is experiencing just now what will probably go down in the government records as the hottest days of a very hot sum- mer. The highest point reached last summer by the mercury was 105 upon September 4, whereas this year, the thermometer has already been to 105, the first date being Saturday, June 20 and again today, Friday, June l26th.
 Section Director Alciatore gave out an interview in Little Rock Thursday morning that the weather was not hot after all and then left the city. A regis ter of 1O412 here that day made him ashamed to return home and face his people.
 The purpose of his visit here outside of trying to make people feel cool, who couldn't even un-l der the powers of hypnotic sug- gestion, was to arrange for the construction of a concrete river gauge, one that the launches and boats can't tie too and break down and incidentally one that will remain monument to his administration of the office he now capably fills.

Just after dark as No. 23 was passing Olyphant, a man stand ing at the front gate of c. w. Roberts home, one-half mile south of the station fired at the form of a person seated upon the porch and ran under cover of darkness. The bullet was proba- bly intended for Mir. Roberts but lit was his daughter at whom the cowardly assassin shot, the bullet from the pistol imbedding itself in the wall and missing the young lady several feet.
 The sheriff's office was reach ed by telephone and J. I. Hast ing and c. M. Ivy left at once for the scene with the blood hounds, which took trail to the south west for quarter of mile three successive times. The drouth made the scent very hard for the dogs to follow.
 The officers reached home at 5:30 o'clock Friday morning and no arrests have yet been made.

Arkansas To Supply Oil.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, June 26.-That Arkansas will soon be a rival of Oklahoma as an oil producer is the belief of Prof. A. H. Perdue, State Geologist of Tennessee, formerly in charge of the geo. logical department of the Uni versity of Arkansas. Prof. Per- due spent several days in Arkan- sas on private business, return ing home the first of the week.
 "I look upon the Arkansas River Valley in Arkansas as the most promising oil field yet de- veloped," stated Prof. Perdue. There are portions of the val ley, where the prospects are very fine, and though Ozark is g very good prospect, it is nothing like some others l have in mind.
 Tt was my intention before leaving Arkansas to print a re port showing the oil lands of the state, but Governor Donaghey vetoed the item of $75O0 appro- priated for the work, and the people have been deprived of its benefits"
 Going further into the oil dis cussion, Prof. Perdue stated that the prospects begin at Fori Smith, and come all the way down the river. He thinks il will be only a short time until oil claims have been secured or most of this land and that the entire valley will be covered witf derricks erected by the oil pros pectors.

Insures Another Chautauqua.

While the total advance sale of
 season tickets for the Chautau-
 qua just ended was $539, which
 with commissions and prizes
 paid to the Boy Scouts of $14.30, made net shortage of $75.30, or
 distributed among 20 guarant- !ors, $3.8O each, there was gen. eral feeling that the Chautau- qua has come to stay, and be-
 come an annual event.
 The general public was highly impressed, entertained and up- lifted by the various programs, and the poor support given to Jour first Chautauqua is not an indication of what we may ex- pect next year. On the contrary, the Chautauqua will grow and it's support will be cordial and en- thusiastic.
 This feeling is manifested in the contract given MT. Rohde, when fifty-two business men signed the guarantee for next year. With this many men talk ing an interest and supporting the movement, it cannot help but succeed.
