BURGLARsARRE Monday last
Henry Amadon, of Raymond, took out a
warrant for searching the premises OF
Joseph and Anton Molitor, two young
men who lived alone in that town, sus-
pecting that they had stolen property
from his house. Officer Killeen made the
search, and was accompanied by Val.
Apfeld, who !iad also lost considerable
property. The search not only disclosed
the articles sought for but lot OF mis-
cellaneous plumber concealed about the
house, the various hay and straw stacks,
and in the field, a lot being found on the
premises of Anton and Joe. Jenc, brothers
living near. They were then arrested
and arraigned before Esquire Richardson
but on the following day they were
brought to Sank Centre, and all
were released on bail until Saturday
morning. Meantime Val. Apfeld had
gotten out a warrant for Anton Jenc,
and other warrants for all four were
issued upon complaint Of Sam. Simon
ton, William, Hendry and A. H. Hide
brand charging them with burglary, and
they were re-arrested, the Jenc brothers
giving bail. 1t will be remembered that
their stores were broken into several
months since, as was also that Of w. O.
P. Hilsdale, but he made no complaint,
although goods stolen from him were
found in their possession. Officers Carr
and Doty made a thorough search OF
both premises AMI among stolen goods
identified as belonging to the parties
named above were several rubber, fur
and cloth coats, gloves, mittens, pocket
books, combs, knives, shoes, rubbers, no
end of jewelry, valises, cigar boxes, dry
goods, razors, clock, watch and house
hold furniture, tools, etc.
On Saturday the prisoners were ar
raigned before Judge Barto on the ANA
don complaint, and the Mollitors were
held and the Jences discharged. Exami-
nation was waived on the other COM
plants and all four were held to the
grand jury, the Jenc boys furnishing bail,
but the Molltors were committed to the
county Jail on Wednesday.
The Jenc boys claim that they can, at
the trial, prove their innocence, they hav.
ing purchased the property found in their
possession from the Mollitors. without
any suspicion that it had been stolen.
A bad gang has been broken up, and
the system of annoying thievery so prev,
alent formonths, both in the city and the
country, will cease. A strange feature OF
the case is that none of the parties under
arrest had ever been suspected of impli,
cation in any of the crimes which have
been committed at intervals during two
years.

The lecture by Prot. Sanders at the
Methodist church on Friday illustrated
with stereopticon views, was highly en-
joyable throughout. His views of Bible

were exceedingly fine, and the explana-

teresting. 1t was such lecture as will
bear repetition.

MINNEAPOLIS is dead in earnest for the
next Republican National Convention,
and there is plenty of reason why her
ambition should he realized. Minnesota
accomplished more for the party last
fall than any other state IN the Union.
From being considered doubtful she not
only planted both feet so firmly within
the lines that her allegiance will not soon
be questioned, and revolurionized her
congressional delegation from minority
to an unequivocal solidity-healing all
breaches, bridging all chasms and unity
ing the party as never before. The ma
tional convention ought to come into a
state of this kind and carry the secret of
how to do it throughout the length and
breadth of the land.

In response to question as to when
the water works would be supplied with
the extra power required, Mayor Dean
said he could not tell, but that the delay
was fraught with great danger. He
feared fire might break out at any
time before the connection was made,
and that it would be impossible to get
effective streams from the hydrants. He
felt that a. this time, when the cold
weather is impelling additional fires, the
danger is greater than at at any other
time. He hopes to see the connection
made at once. The superintendent of
the works said that he was expecting a
letter from an indianapolis firm relative
to the matter any day. He did not
think it would take long to make the
connections. Certainly the Mayors
fears are not unreasonable, and no time
should be lost.

correct answer, the seventh standard

teachers, being drill work in primary
grades on sentence and word building.
Afternoon.-After opening exercises we
had most interesting talk on physiolo-
gy. the eye being the subject under dis
cussion. The process Of the expansion
or dilating and contraction of the pupil
was fully explained. We have often
heard the eye spoken of as "The window
OF the SOUL" but never thought of the
iris as curtain to this window, a cur
tain with two sets of springs The die
tionary study was made interesting by
giving list of common words for pro-
nunciation. We all knew the meaning
of "benzine' but very few if any, knew
that it was pronounced, "ben-zin''. A
discussion on sound, followed which
broughtout variety of opinions. Query,
can there be sound with no ear to catch
the vibration? The exercise following
was necessarily brief but very learned
and full of interest. Teachers were
warned concerning the balancing of the
mental forces in the children in their
charge. We think each teacher retired
from the class more fully imbued with
this responsibility as teacher. The ex-
ercise in music was also good.

THE BAGG,NG TRUST.
Gallant Fight of the Farmers Alliance
Against Oppression.

New YORK, July PA special TO
the Times from Birmingham, Ala,
says; The trouble between the Farm
ers' ALLIANCES and the Jute Bagging
Trust is rapidly assuming warlike pre-
portions in the cotton growing States.
The Alliance men have resolved 10
use no jute bsgging for wrapping the
present crop, but to use cotton bagging
instead. 1t is argued on the one side
that the farmers cannot hold out in
the fight; that the cotton wrapped in
cotton bagging will not be received at
the congresses and by foreign buyers,
and, as tho cotton crop is shipped
abroad, the farmers will be forced to
give in in order TO got their cotton on
the market in merchantable shape :;
also, that many farmers, who have
given mortgages on their crops TO ad-
vancing merchants, cannot hold their
cotton back, but will Ia forced TO put
on the market in Il merchantib!e shape
and sell it to pay their debts.
On the other hand, the Alliance men
are determined to fight the trust TO the
end. Ii Is war TO the knife. They
have resolved to beat the trust IL they
have to hold tho entire cotton crop
from the market until the combine is
broken. They propose 10 work in uni
son and present a solid front against
the trust. 1t is generally understood
also that the other farmer organizations
Of the country are ready to fight band
in-hand with the Alliance men. The
Alliance is So, 900 strong in Alabama,
aud will get heavy recruits from the
w heel and Rangers.
AT the meeting of the National AL.
lance, held in Birmingham recently,
| it was resolved TO use cotton bagging
exclusively and give jute the go-by,
and the farmers seem determined TO
carry il out on that line if it takes all
the summer and fall. The Farmers
Alliance of Alabama has just purchased
site for a cotton hagging factory at
Florence, aud proposes making 59e
yards of cotton bsgging per day by
September l. The threatened war
will be made even more interesting by
the fact that the cotton crop promises
TO be the heaviest yield in ten or tif-
teen yeare.

N. o. States Gov. Gordon has re-
commended that the Legislature OF
Georgia provide a pension for every
Confederate soldier in the Slate who
is manned and helpless, and also for
the widows and orphans of dead SOL
diers. The Governor further n:ges
that these pensions be made as liberal
as possible. We believe the people Of
Georgia will promptly and cordially
respond to tho noble suggestion OF Gov.
Gordon. Georgia is a great and rich
State, she is growing richer every
year, and she should set All example
of generously providing for the now
helpless heroes who fought the battles
of the Confede"acy, and for the wild
ows of those who have answered the
roll call above. Louisiana has eai.h-
lished Home for her old soldiers, and
has thereby provided for the comfort
of many of her old heroes. Were she
rich enough, we believe that her reo'
pie would not be behind those OF Gsor
gia in providing liberal pensions f"'
her disabled Corfederates in addition
to the Home. The rule Of the ca"re'
Dagger, however, has left her IL debt &c
pay which forces her TO be less Just
and generous to her soldiers than she
is disposed TO be.

taken from the Baton Rouge Advocate:
"About s O'Clock Friday night, citi-

The publication by the TELEGRAPH
of the account of the recent reception
OF Gov. McEaery at Baton Rouge and
the editorial comment thereon by the
New Orleans States should not be In,
terpreted by our readers as an attempt
on our part to assist in precipitating a
gubernatorial campaign which is or
should be two years distant, nor AS an
endorsement of Judge McEncry should
he be candidate; nor need this ex-
preston be taken as an intimation
that this paper would oppose him.

tho twosfold purpose of showing the
high esteem in which former fellow

in Mr.. Fuqua's speech and Judge Nc

cepted as pretty sure pointers.

Hcnne4uen Fibre.
[IimeS. DenIOcrat.I


The monthly expectation o.;he above
fibre from the port of Prog: $50 shows
the great importance OF new and
growing industry that has baeu devei-
oped in the State of Yucatan, Mexico.
The expectation during the month
of June, from Mexico, of this valuable
product to the cities of New York,
Boston and New Orleans amounted to
2S,637 bales of IL, 33l ,s72 pounds, wortn
81. 239, Scc3.
Other countries have recently started
to plant kennequep. Cuba last month
exported TO Eogland the first bale pro-
duced on that island. In Buenos
Ayres, Argentine Republic, a company
with capital of $2,0O0,OOO has been
organized TO import the plans from
Mexico aud develop the industry of
growing henuequen in the Argen ne
Republic.
A well known gentleman and sugar
planter of this State, Mr.. j. A. Fer
nandez, has been making experiments
with the hennequen plant in this State,
and has found that we have all the
elements of soil and climate here 70
stimulate it to an astonishing growth.
He has ordered further ccmsignmen's
of plants, and expects to demons ra, G
on a large scale the adaptability of The
plant TO Louisiana.
An acre of land devoted to the ma-
tured plant, which requires four years
to attain its full growth, returns 30nC
pounds of cleaned Eennequen fibre,
which readily commands twelve cents
per pound. The gross product OF an
acre is thus about $500. The plan,
continues 10 reproduce its fibre, fur
nishing leaves without interruption
and without cultivation, for fifteen
years.
The decorticating machinery for this
| fibre is both cheap and simple, con.
sisting of n wooden feeding chute aud
and hacking wheel. The whole de-
vice is worked by two or three horse
power, with the capacity for increase
of production with increase of power
| 1t is stated that one of the most at
tractive exhibits at the Paris EXPOSE
ton consists of the tiue cordage, fab.
RIGS, ETC., spun aud woven from this
fibre. This exhibit is shown by :
wealthy hennequen planter OF Guca-
! tan, who claims to have realized from
last years crop $500, 900, at q total cos>
of $33 900.
1t would be well worth while to Civ,
this plant thorough test in Louisiana
where its kindred species, the aloe auC
the century plant, grow so rapidly ant
! luxuriantly. If it will do all that i:
claimed ii would prove to be the mos
productive crop that could be grown
on our soil. The increase in this fibre
elsewhere is getting to be phenomenal
and it should receive as close attention
here as it is getting elsewhere.
