ADAYLIGHT KILLING.

Thursday afternoon a negro boy
named Rufus Taylor, aged 10 years,
was killed by Mr.. Aleck Hudson q
white man.
The affair took place on Commerce
street about 4 O'Clock and of course,
created considerable excitement. The
fight was witnessed by a number OF
persons who did not know that
deadly weapons had been used, or that
a death blow had been struck, until the
victim, while running from his oppo-
.nent was seen to slacken his gait
stumble and fall dead. The excite
iment WAS 80 intense after the o.
currence that The PRoGREss was I'm
able to gather evidence sufficiently
tangible to form an unbiased opinion,
and will therefore, leave the matter
to the courts to settle, feeling as
sured that our district attorney will
sift it to the bottom, and have. the
law to punish, where punishment is.
due.
AS soon as the killing was reported
to District Attorney Land he had
Justice g. D. Hicks to issue a war
rant against Hudson, charging him
with murder This WAS served in
time at the lookup, where he had
been carried by the police who ar
rested him. The accused YVES csuied
to the:psrish Jail by Constable Kelly
assisted by Chief of Police w. A.
Nelson and Patrolman Haggerty.
In closing THE PRoGRsss feels it
duty to pay a just tribute to the cool
ness and courage of Officers Dewing
and Holland, who proved their eff
cheney in arresting the maniac, crazed
by drink.
The grand jury is in session and
will give the case that Investigation

DEAL FAIRLY.

Nothing tends as strongly to make
criminals, as an unjust and partial ad-
ministrstion of oountry's laws.
Where and when impartial justice is
meeted out to all alike, there and
then, will there almost invariably be
found, a due observance and respect
for law generally, and feeling of
security existing among the people
who dwell in such a community.
When such condition of things ex-
list, the place where it is 81, is almost
sure to be a progressive and enter
prising one, while the moral effect

kindly il he was ever captured by
Southern soldiers of the command OF
division to which they belonged, as
he had been protector to them.
Then he made an exceedingly
strong and forcible argument in ia
vor of the platform of his party.
Said that both of the old parties had
passed their days of usefulness, and
that 1T was necessary for a new cap
tain to take charge of the ship of
state known as the Body Polite.
he told of the broken pledges of
both the Republican and Democratic
office holders and representatives,
and that CONGRESS- had not given
that relief which it was empowered
to extend. That the producers were
the men who needed the protection
and assistance, and they were the
ones who received none at all. That
the financial system, the most power
ful OF all the factors of our govern
ment, was rdically wrong and must
be changed. He told of the unjust
discrimination of the government in
favor of national banks, az against
real estate owners, aud elucidated it
IN manner that should cause the
people to at least think. He Of course
advocated the passage of a law for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, and said that he had made a
VOW that if he was elected president,
and the bill passed Congress, he
would sign it and enforce it, if it
forced every man in the Union to
shoulder a musket for the purpose.
He said that the interests of the
South and West were identical, and
that the sooner the honest yoemenry
cast aloose from New York, which
never fails to exact it's pound of flesh,
the better it will be for the country.
General Weaver spoke for little more
than an hour, and we are sure that
the audience listened with deep at
tentioA He is fine speaker and a
deep thinker, good, analytical rea-
soner, and told many golden truths
about our political affairs, and made
some valuable suggestions tending
to correction of the great evils which,
all must admit, are enormous and
growing. But whether the modes of
correction are practical just now is a
matter for after-consideration.
There is little doubt but that his
hearers were well repaid for the time
spent, whether they agreed with him
or not. And there is one strong
point in his favor, which has been
absent with all the other
political speakers we have ever heard,
and that was his frequent illusions
to passages from the Bible. spoken in |
tones which convinced all that he was
a Christian. If he is putting his
trust There, his cause will eventually
prevail. For if Democracy and Re-
publlcanism cannot take God and
the Savior in their deliberations, then
things are getting in bad condition |
indeed, and right now it looks
strongly like both of the old parties
are trying to paddle their canoes
such aid, as that which |
comes from above.

THE X. Z. NELSON SEMISARY-IT..
| STANDING ARPOAD.

1t is with pleasure that The PRoG
REss this week gives space to an aru
Gle on the seminary of Miss Kate L
Nelson, taken from She Memphis
Appeal Though the a t.
Gle lauds in very complimentary Ian
guage this educational ins ution, it
by no means draws it in manner too
fine. Miss Kate Nelson has proven her
self an instructress whose talents have
manifested themselves in the train
ing and education of those placed I'M
der her individual charge, while her
corps of teachers have always sus-
tanned their part of the scholastic in
struction intrusted to them. Miss
Nelson's acadamy is, in the main, the
creation of her own industry, and
has already won a name for financial
management, good department, and
cultured educational perfection,
which makes it not only a source of
pride to herself, but is held in high
esteem by the citizens of Shreveport
as one of the testimonials of her enter
prise and success. The course Of
study taught at this acadamy is thor
ough and embraces all of the various
branches contained in the finishing
institutions. The graduates which
each year go forth from its doors, are
well equipped for entering the social
as well as the industrial walks OF
life. Evidences of the training there
received are plainly visible, while tho
positions they take in the world,
wherever cast, is extremely credit
able to the institution where they re-
ceived it.
The Fall term will open Monday,
and Miss Nelson may congratulate
herself on her prospects, as We are
informed that they are very fatter-
ing.
The PROGRESS extends its heartiest
congratulation to the noble woman
who is the ruling power in the man
agement of this ace danny, both of it's
financial and educational affairs, aud
takes pleasure in chronicllng its unin-
terrupted success. Miss Kate Mel
son has shown skill and tenacty in
this enterprise which would be
profit to Shreveport, if many of her
business men would strive to en-
ulate it.

fluence prevails in business life, anC
financial confidence is at high ebb
thus causing a medium degree, a
least, of prosperity. But when tn.
law is enforced in q partial man
ner, where some are forced to strictly
obey its mandates, while others are
not, it has contrary effect. Like.
wise, where some from a high sense
of moral honor or respect for the law
as such, desire to keep all its com
mandments and do SO, it tends to
weaken that respect in them for that
law, when they note that others will
fully and fagrantly deride its enact
ments, and do 80 without fear of APP
prehension. Such a condition as we
last mentioned will always tend to
debiliate all the affairs of the tinan-
cial, commercial, social and political
government.
Appropros to the subject it would
be well for our citizens to take care
that our city and parish affairs do
not reach such condition. In res
pect to the former, it is well known
that in the matter of sidewalks, all
have not been treated alike. That
while notices to owners to have
them put down or the city will have it
done at their expense, resulted in
some complying with the mandates,
others treated them with in
difference if not contempt, and the
city did not have it done for them,
but placed itself in the attitude of be-
ing n bombastic and cowardly bully.
This is all wrong. The city
should either not pass laws it can not
enforce, or it should, in the admins
tration, if it can compel a perform
ance, treat all alike.
The same scrupulous exercise of
equality should govern the admins
tration of the State laws in this par
ish. Every one who violates statute
should be held smenable to it. No
officer has right to declare which
part of the criminal code shall be OBJ
served and which shall not. 1t is his
duty to enforce all to the best of his
ability. More especially should
district attorney give his attention to
the prosecution of those cases which
are crimes from legal enactments
alone, and'are Objectionable to a good
number of people. Any infraction
of this species of the criminal laws
which is not speedily checked and
punished, not only weakens the res
pect OF the criminal for that law, but
for all such as do not happen to meet
with his approval, besides encouraging
others to become criminals of q slmi-
lar class. This is one reason why
The PRoGRess is so urgent upon Dis
trict Attorney Land to punish those
saloon keepers who presist in violat-
ing the Sunday law while others in
the same business, pay a just and
commendable tribute to it by
strictly keeping it. The lat
ter should be encouraged in their
respect for the law. As individ-
uals they may, and doubtless
many dc, think the law objection
able, but it is q law, and for that rea-
son they obey it. Therefore their &C
tions should be encouraged by the
prosecution of those who have not
that reverence for it, No country
State, parish or city can be in safe
condition when some are allowed to be
their own judges of whether laws are
salutary, and observe or violate them
at will.
We hope our own affairs will never
descend to that weakened state.

platform and jumped off. His rash
act created great excitement among

WANTED HER IMAM ME-"

With her oilcloth gripsack in her
hand, and dressed in backwoods cos
tune of iDharmonious colors, Miss
Mary Riley presented an attractive
rural appearance as she stumbled
into the Charity Organizations office
this morning. She wanted a pass to
Mt. Sterling. She had been in Louis
vile since "corn was so high" illus
trating by placing her hand about six
inches from the floor. In other words
she has been in the county Jail since
last May awaiting to be tried for
moonahining. She said all she did
was to sell pint of whisky, not know
ing that she was violating the law.
Miss Riley was released from jail
five weeks ago. She then secured en-
ployment as cook on a small steamer
In this vocation she said she had been
unjustly treated. Miss Riley IS TWEEN
ty-seven years old, and frequently in
formed the Charity Organization
authorities that she wanted to be sent

which is about seven miles from Mt.

informed that she would be harbored
until employment could be secured

THE ADVOCATE.
Attempted Train Robbery, Near
Huntington, West Virginia.

Shortly after twelve o'clock, on the
morning of the Is inst, as the +. T. v.
the favorite train on the G. u .. was
pulling out of Huntington, West Vir-
ginia, East bound, three robbers en-
tered the first-class coach, one held
the door from which they entered
while the others passed firing two
pistols, in order to intimidate, aud or
dering hands up. This did not work
up to their expectations, on account
of fearless men on board. One of the
robbers was attacked by Oscar Trick,
a German from Chicago, who with
his betrothed, German lady from
Cincinnati, Miss Anna Echler, were
en- route for Germany, where they
were to be married, attacked one OF
the robbers and forced him to the
floor, when the other one on guard
advanced and although attacked by
several passengers, after shooting
one of them, Peter Drake, Of Cincin-
natl, in the leg and foot reached
Trick and placing the muzzle OF his
pistol near his face, fired a fatal
shot, the ball entering near the eye,
penetrating the brain, killing him
almost instantly. BY this time Col
lector ZingerIy had secured a pistol
and began to fire. Another one of
the passengers struggled with the
robber and succeeded in disarming
him when he pulled the bell-rope and
as the train slowed up they left it
and escaped into the dark, but not I'M
til Collector Zingerly had fired an
effective shot, striking one of the rob-
bers in the shoulder. The Collector
and some of the passengers displayed
grit and but for their courage, all
passengers would have been relieved
of their cash and valuables.
Burrell Forgey who lives not far
from where the attempted robbery
was made, claims to have been assas-
sinated about this time at his home,
has been identified as one of the rob-
bers and is under arrest. This was
one ofthe boldest attempts at robbery
on record, and was evidently the
work of amateurs.

FARM NOTES.

Milk that is to be carried any dis
lance before being set ought to be AGRA
ted, that is, aired and cooled down be-
fore starting. 1t will keep sweet
longer and retain its best flavor. An
elevated strainer is good aerator.
Be careful, however, TO do the aersting
in clean place, free from foul odors !;
aerate and then cool.
The Philadelphia Farm Journal
says: "The Bordeaux mixture, we
guess, will have to go. The lime in it
clogs the sprayer. There are other
concoctions that are better"
Cooked food fattens more readily
because it is more thoroughly

Every man who drives heavy
team should have wide tires.
