WEEKLY REVIEW OF

New York, Nov 4.-The long
talked of 25-cent level was reached
in the cotton market here toward
the end of this week. After sell
ing up to 24-55 for December con-
tracts Monday there were reactions
of some 65 or 70 points under real
izing, which was promoted by re-
ports of a lull in domestic trade
demand.

however. while there was talk of an
improving export demand, and the

will reach close to $S5,000.00, in
the opinion of those familiar with
the operation of the gin.
One of the men at work in the
gin said that he and other work
men discovered a blaze flashing be-
meath where they were working, pre-
sumably caused from match, and
before they could get assistance to
the scene the fire rapidly spread
to other portions of the large struc-
ture, and within few minutes the
enterprise was a roaring mass OF
blaze, too far gone for 1T to be
saved without vertaDle drenching
of water which could not be obtained
at that distance from the city.
The structure was of frame, in
cased in sheet iron. The gin equip
mont, it is said, was one of the
best in this section and the enter
prise had a very large capacity
and was running the limit in gin
ming the staple marketed in Para
gould. The Lesser-Goldman Com
pany purchased the enterprise from
the Farmers Gin Company about
year ago and had made many val
liable additions to it in a mechanical
way and buildings.
Two freight cars on the siding
near the gin caught fire and were
seriously damaged Many bales OF
cotton that were rolled from the
platform were damaged, the intense
heat of the flaming structure being
too great for the firemen to reach
them with streams of watcr, though
they succeeded in saving many
bales that otherwise would have
burned.
The destroyed gin is located just
east of the Missouri Pacific railway
tracks, a short distance from the
Lake street crossing.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. A.
After it had begun to appear
that the nonstop monoplane
flight from San Diego to New
York would be fully realized or
accomplished, the attempted feat
came to an end between nine
and ten o'clock this morning.
Lieutenants MacReady and
Kelley were forced to land at
Fort BENJAMIN, east of Indian
apolis. Engine trouble forced
them to the ground.
The flyers passed over Indian
apolis at 0:02 a. M. and de-
scended a few minutes later.
The filters, however, estab-
lished a new worlds record for
long distance nonstop flying.
The airline between Indianapolis
and San Diego is 1915 miles.
"This is tough luck" said
Lieutenant Kelley as he stepped
from the plane as soldiers from
the fort came running to meet
the aviators. Lieut.. Kelley
said: "0ur engine started miss
ing a short tine before we
landed and we had to come to

The prize moonshine or wildcat

in Greene county was that of last
night on Cache river, west of Para
gould, when Sheriff Stepp's posse
swooped down upon house boat
just north of where the Cache VAL

into Lawrence county, and captured
two operators, took possession of the
liquor making outfit, a lot of the
finished product, exchanged pistol
shots with associates of the men
taken into custody.
The raid was staged at 1890
o'clock and from that time till after
eleven, the raiding party was busy
getting the work of the surprise

was burned by the posse, the still

was running full capacity and one
of the officers said about a half
gallon of the liquor was produced
while they were in the process of do
ing away with the equipment.
The list of the contraband outfit
was as follows: One copper still, one

four gallons of liquor, one and one

Turing the progress of the fire that
the gin proper, with all the me-

approximately $35, 100000. He said
there were four hundred bales on

leaders prepared formal state
ments predicting victory.
Republicans apparently do
not dispute Democratic gains;
that gains will be made in the
House they do not dispute but
they do dispute the extent of

insist their reports show that
