Another Louisiana Sheriff
Docs Good Work.

Special to the Times Democrat
VERNON, Nov. 5.-Thc noted des-
perado and assassin. john Bernard,
is no more. Sheriff Jones, of this
parish, shot and killed him with a
shotgun yesterday evening at :
o'clock, about seven miles west of this
place, one of the buck shot entering
his eye, killing him instantly.
Bernard is the man who has kept
the community in a state of excite
ment for some time past, and that
YOUR correspondent has given Won in
formation relative to repeatedly. He
WAS accused of killing several mer,
among the number being the lament
cd and very prominent citizen of this
parish, W. B Mcdonald, ono of our
best citizens Among his last acts
was the burning of the gInhouse of
his uncle, S. F. Bernard, for which he
was confined in the parish prison
awaiting his trial, and was turned
loose by mob Of armed men from an
adjoining parish Since then he re-
turned to this community, heavily
armed, with two six-shooting pistols
and a doublcbarrcI shotgun, bidding
defiance to the sheriff and the citizens
that opposed him.
Quite recently lie has been hunting
the sheriff in the darkness of the
night to kill him, having gone to his
house several times for that purpose.
The sheriff having been informed that
he was about ten miles distant, armed
himself with double-barrcl shotgun
and started alone in pursuit of him.
Bernard ate supper at Mr.. StringerS 5,
seven or eight miles west Of here, and
started for Vernon, Stringer telling
him not to go, as the sheriff was pre-
pared for him, and would kill him.
Bernard remarked that he would go
and exchange shots with him, and a
short time after they met. Bernard
commanded the sheriff to halt, at the
same time cooking his gun to shoot,
but the sheriff was to quick for him
and shot first, killing him Instantly.

A Wrashful PedaSoEue.

The Lyon county Times says !:
.There was a Wholesale whipping
at the school. house last Tuesday
owing to tie masters strap having
been thrown down a vault by one
of the scholars. There is blood on
the moon and divers threats OF
blacksraking among ye parents
and ye pedagogue." If there is no
mistake about the above. the best
thing the Dayton school trustees
can do, is to pay that fellow of and
hire some one possessed OF sufficient
experience and common ssense t"
teach q district school without any
more "wholesale" cudgelings. As
. rule, corporal punishment in
our public schools, is a relic OF the
worst kind of barbarism.

Oscar Wilde,s Play.

Oscar Wilde's Play.
Wi'de's new play "Vera" has
brought down q tornado of adverse
criticism from the New York press,
writ en- by the same critics who
praise John Raymoud's and Barley
Campbe Is trash, and slobber on
Oliver Dowd Byron's hodge podge.
Wilde evidently did not come down
with the cash where the others did.
The Dramatic Mirror, however. is
fearless enough 10 speak its honest
convictions. It says: " Viewed as
tho first attempt Of . literary man
at l.ymaking. ''Vera" Is really
marvellous production. There is
certainly no man who has written
for the stage in the last ten years,
except Alfred Tennyson (who is
merely a poet without Wilde's eye
for dramatic effect). that has pre-
sentcd for public appreciation .
drama SO we'll received and finely
written as this We are discussing.
The language of Vera, taken apart
from the constructive and dramatic
features, is rich i" fine thought and
fine feeling. At o time when vapor-
ing trash deluges the stage, this
merit is rare and ELECTS our heart
lest appreciation. The audience
Monday stamped the play sue
cess. That fact is evident to every
one who was present and is willing
10 tell the truth in the face OF the
most damnable series of lies which
tho writer's for the daily paper
have combined to print in regard
to this production. The people ap-
plauded the strong scenes vocifer'
ously, and although they were
bored in the last act. for the reason
We have mentioned, they gave quit
enough evidence of their pleasure

Yesterday Mornings Fire.

A two story frame building located on
the corner of Twenty fifth street and
Twenty-third avenue south, owned by Gus
tave Grouf and occupied by F. W. Kelly as
general store, was destroyed by fire at
an early hour yesterday morning. Two
families, named Dolen and Judges, occu-
pied the second story as dwellings,. The
building was worth 81 900 and that figure
was the amount of insurance which had
been placed in the Scottish Union insur-
ance company. Mr.. Kelly's loss is esti-
mated at $1,000, upon which there was
$4,000 as follows: In the Union of Cali
fornia $4,000; in the Union of Philadel-
phia and Star $1,000 each. Mr.. Judges
lost about $500 and Mr.. Dolan about $500,
and neither had cent of insurance.

Not accident but suicide.

The deputy coroner returned from Me-
dina at late hour last night, and report
ed that the case elsewhere printed in these
columns was not an accident, but that the
unfortunate young man deliberately placed
the muzzle of shotgun to his mouth and
blew his head into atoms. The body was
found in the woods reclining against a
tree. No cause is assigned for the deed,
but he had manifested melancholy at
times. His name was DIR. Heanault, and a
graduate from McGill Medical college. His
family resides in Somerset, Cauada. He
had been at the lake about two months.

average about 1850 barrels per day
against 1920 barrels a week ago. Al
though outwardly our millers take rather
gloomy view of the flour markets and any
thing they may have in store, it is quite
apparent that there is an undercurrent of
feeling that an improvement will soon
take place. However, the extreme bear
side combats this theory, arguing that
foreign stocks are too large to admit of a
favorable change very soon, unless wheat
takes downward turn and leaves -four
where it now stands.

A STATE VETERINARIAN.
wanted by the s,ossmsn and the Farmer.

Wanted by the stockmen and the Farmers
If stockmen will petition the legisla
ture and put their names on record az
desiring the appointment Of state
veterinarian, IL is very possible that
a request backed by the unanimous
voie of the Texas Live Stock Associa-
ton would be received with respect
and acted upon in manner favorable
to the appointment OF such an officer.
III they will also put upon paper their
ideas OF how such man could be OF
the greatest benefit to the state it might
have something towards defining the
duties he might be called upon to per-
form, IL appointed.
| The farmer, cowman, sheepman or
I horseman, are all interested In advo-
eating this matter, and il would meet
with no serious or reasonable objection.
Texas is one of the few states not en-
gaging the services of a veterinarian al
though some states have such an officer
and carefully hide the light he furnishes
religiously, under bushel.
This state has more pressing need Of
such an officer than any other, from
the system of running stock together,
which i'm the breaking out of any con-
tagious disease would cause losses in
calulable and possibly occasion quar-
antine against the state for the stock
affected, and serious as the matter is,
or might be, ii has been neglected to
this time.
A competent officer who by direct
ion OF the governor, at request of one
or more citizens, could go and investi-
gate the disease OF domestic animals,
and do the best TO cure them, and
then by making report of his action,
detailing the cause, symptoms and
probably the cure, in language not re-
quiring translation to be intel
ligent to ordinary mortals,
would be doing service to the state
that would be beyond any salary such
an officer would require, or what the
state could afford TO pay, and the addi-
tional expense of printing these re-
ports and sending them to every news
paper in the state for publication,
would be of benefit to every individual
who owned stock, be their numbers
few or many.
We offer this suggestion, rs we have
done many times before, as something
ranchmen can advocate as being not
only n benefit to themselves. but to
all. Delays are dangerous, and as the
want of some reliable veterinarian is
being felt by all stockmen importing
improved and pure breed animals, it
is hoped they will make decided
stand on this important matter, and
place ii in its proper light before the
legislature, to be accepted or rejected
by that body Icras Lice Stock Jour
