John. the Italian, who peddles fruit,
had bis wagon robbed on Sunday last.
His boy was on his way around the
Bend ia his wagon. which was filed
with fruit aud vegetables, and When
near Stockner's a crowd of colored
boys who drive teams on the levee,
took charge Of the wagon and told the
driver to git, which he did without
any ceremony. They helped themselves
to what he had, nnhiched his horse
from the wagon and damaged the
harness. The boy came to town and
reported what happened. Sheriff
Dunn aud deputy Bell went up imme-
diaicly to the camp and arrested six
of them, placing them in Jail. They
had their examination Monday before
his Honor, Judge F. F. Montgomery,
who fixed their bond at 800 each.

a letter from gentleman in West
Carroll to our landing keeper states
that the reason tole is charged for
crossing The Rontoon bridge at the
Corbin ferry, is that cows will come
over OH this side and get lost, and a
man has TO be kept at the bridge to
keep them back. A rather lame ex-
cuse we think. Why don't they build
a few pannels of fence and have gate
aud this would settle it as far as tole is
concerned.

We learn that Mr.. Gano Cunning
ham, who shot the negro last week at
Manning & Gibsou's levee camp in the
lower end Of the parish, WAS perfectly
justifiable. The negro was discharged
by Mr.. Cunningham and he did not
like il. lie went off aud got another
negro and returned with club, their
intention being to do Mr.. Cunning ham

menced firing, hitting the darkey three
times.

DEATH OF A LOVELY YOUNG
WIFE.

1t is with deep and sincere regret
that we announce the death Of Mrs.
Annie O'Kelley. the beloved wife OF
Mr. w. ID. O'Kelly, which occurred at
the family residence near Lake Provi-
dence, La, on Sunday, Oct. 10th, 1898.
The deceased was born in Adams
county. July 2Sth, 1860, and was just
entering her thirty-fourth year when
the sad summons came. She was the
daughter of our esteemed fellow
countryman, Mr.. Daniel f. Ashford,
and was married to Mr.. O'Kelly in
1880. In the family circle che was a
devoted wife and loving mother, but
while domestic to degree she yet
had line to look after the wants and
needs of others, aud to minister to
those about her less fortunate than
herself Her death will create void
il the circle that she moved that will
never be filled, aud tender memories
of her gentle, sweet womanliness will
ever linger in the hearts of those who
had the good fortune to be one of her
friends. To the sorrowing parents,
to the bereaved husband and to her
four motherless little children the
Democrat tenders its heartfelt condo
lence in the great aud irreparable loss
that they have sustained, aud counsels
them to look 10 "Him who doeth all

The steamer Leathers has made
quite a reduction in freight ana pas
sengers. The price has been reduced
from 81 to 75cts on cotton through to
New Orleans and to Vicksburg for 25cts
a bale. Passengers can go TO Vicks-
burg for 81 sc, meals included. This
is getting il down cheap, and 10 doubt
shippers and the travelling public will
take advantage of this reduction.

-Secretary Of State Gresham has
published his report to the President
on the Hawaiian affairs. He says that
the United States marines were not land
ed in Honolulu to protect Americans out
to aid in the overthroWing OF the exist
inc government and that the wrong
committed should be righted by put
ting the deposed Queen on the throne
again. The majority OF the people o.
Hawaii are opposed to the Queen and
she. could only be restored by the aid OF
this country The policy of the admis-
tration as outlined in that report is re-
ceiving the strongest kind OF condemn
alton from democrats and republicans
alike. This is the first time in the
history of the nation that it has ever
interfered to restore q fallen monarchy
although it has aided struggling re-
public, and it is the worst kind OF an
outrage for this, the greatest OF re-
publics, to aid in overthrowing siste
republic and to force a rotten monarchy
on it's people.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
About the Roster Deal.

Dunn County News: Gov. Peck and
his bad boys" are in trouble.
Wausau Central Wisconsin: The re-
form and economy crowd that set on l.
to loot the state treasury on that roster
job, to help bolster up an administra-
ton organ, and which is now being
most etfectualy exposed, is rather u
settler on the present occupants of the
state capital. What nice little cor
ruption deal to be SO ruthlessly nipped
in the blood.
Appleton POST Ofall the cold blood
ed rascality ever perpetrated by pollt-
ical thugs in this state, the roster job Of
our present reform state administration
at Madison stands without rivalry
The stencil, that the courts are now
being called upon to disinfect, smells
higher to heaven tF.an any of the odors
that are waited to us from the dead
past, when 'Barstow and his forty
thieves" looted the states treasury to
appcaSe the appetite of the admlnlstra'
tons yelping pack OF political jackals.
Since that time a generation has come
and passed away, bat the spirit than
pervaded pure, undefiled Democracy is
those days lives true to its tradition
even to-day.
Madison Democrat: If it is admitted
that the acknowledgement was not en-
gagged in scheme to smirch and dis
grace the governor, then there does
not seem to be any explanation what
ever for his approval OF that scandalous
and extravaganza secret contract, eX-
cept upon the sole supposition that he
knew how much money it contained for
the expiring organ and that his inteaest
in the organ was such as to induce him
to give his approval to such disgrace
full Job. TO claim ignorance OF the con-
stitutiOnal prohibition and ofthe law
and of the character of that contract is
nearly as bad for Mr.. O'COnnor and as
hunliliatlng to his political party as it
would be to admit the true character
of the graceess job.

A great deal more numbering will
be done in this vicinity this winter
than the indications showed q few
weeks ago In fact it looks at present
as though the amount would not tall
far short of previous years. Wages. too,
are picking up slightly, some men have
hired out at twenty-three and twenty
four dollars a month although twenty
dollars is all that a majority Of loggers
are offering. One firm in particular is
only Offering twenty dollars month
and are making the men sign a written
contract to stay all winter and reserving
the right to discharge any man whose
work does not suit and to pay him Off
in q time check due April 10. This is
taking advantage of the hard times and
the necessity Of the working man with
\ vengeance and we doubt if the firm in
question will, even a; hard as the times
are, succeed in procuring and keeping
a crew at those terms. We believe that
byi the first of January, when all OF the
crews are in, good men will be receive
ng twenty-six dollars IL month and we
would not be surprised if some even so
more than that.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

Some thing should be done towards
lighting the streets of the village
nights. 1t gives strangers very poor
notion OF the place and of tho enter
prise of its inhe bitants to spend night
! here and see the streets Shrouded in
darkness. There is hardly a place OF
I the size of this in the state but what
! has its streets lighted in some manner,
/ the most of them with electric lights
and there is no reason why We should
be behind the rest. We believe the
/ city should put in electric lights. Il
can do it cheaper than any private IN
dividual could. We all know that it
/ is necessary to add to the power It the
water works and we believe it is gen
orally understood that new engine is
| to be put in i'll the spring. If this is
power at the NaterWork5 to run an
electric plant OF sufficient size to
/ furnish the light for the place and it
could be put in with very little expense.

paratively nothing. The same engi-
neers that are needed at the water
works could run it and it would take
but very little more fuel. OF course al !
of the business places and q majority OF
! the dwellings would put in lights and
! we believe the revenue derived from
this would fully cover the extra ex
pense 50 that it would &C tually cost the
city nothing for lighting the stdeets.
Business men think these suggestions
over. Get some one that understands
the question to figure on it and if it Is
at all practicable put them in in con
nection with the Warttr works, or il
some one can suggest some other
scheme. that would be better, adGopt
that, only don't let us let another year
pass over our heads with out putin g
in electric lights.
