be elected next November under the
election law recently passed by the
Legislature. The new law does

to be appointed to take charge of
the elections. They appoint the
commissioners, tabulate the vote
and make returns to the Secretary
of the State. The three supervisors
are appointed as fellows: One By
the Governor, one by the police
Jury and the other by the clerk of
court of each parish. The super.
visors will appoint six commission
ers at each polling place, the differ
ent political parties to be repre-
sented.

by so doing they are certain to

The question of artesian wells in
this section is one Of interest to all
our people, and it 10 surprising that
more extensive tests and experiments
have not been made in this direc-
ton. Gould wells be sunk that
would furnish a sufficient water
supply for irrigation purposes, they
would be OF inestimable value to
these planters who are situated re-
mote from the bayous. Artesian
wells would o ycourse be the ideal
way of supplying the rice with
water, but though o flowing we'll
may not be obtained and q pump be
necessary, it would still be of ines.
Unable value to the rice interests.
We hope to see some extensive ex-
perimenting done this fall and VIM

The New Orleans Times Democrat
now that the Doodle aldermen are on

trying criminal cases rather slow
and cumbersome. When it takes q
week to pick aury and the lawyers
make four hour speeches every time
they raise-some fool objection to the
question to'ther fellow asks the wit
nesses, it i q wonder that they ever
finish a trial. 1t has taken nearly 2
weeks to try Callahan, and We will
wager a new hat that Judge Allen,
or anysother able coutry Judge would
try the case in two days and Gala
han would getafuIl and exact.justice.
would winnow out the little

more simple mode of procedure
would NO doubt facilitate criminal
but a drumhead court.martiel

LOST HIS MONEY.
Midway Roulette Did 1t
for Him.
Now CASTOR Proposes to Have the
Midwinter Fair Managers Ar
rested for Gambling.

A. B. CASTOR claims that the management of
the Midwinter Fair made him commit crime.
And further, he claims that the management
owned couple of the roulette tables used to
skin The gullible on the midway during the first
part of the present year. He has instructed
his attorney to procure warrants for the gen.
tlemen composing the management, and the ar
rests are set for to-day. The charges will be.
conducting gamellng-rooms.
CASTOR Is an expert accountant, with an Of
flee until recently at 400 California street. At
present he aDguishes In the City Prison on
four charges of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses and prospect OF more TO follow. He
passed one check OF $50 on the Electric Laun-
dry Company; another one for $40 on Wolf s.
Frank. 232 KearDy street,, third for S24 on
w. II. Snow, tailor, and fourth on w. d..
Richardson, plumber. for $50
he does not deny that he raised these checks
but he will make the defense, when the cases
come to trial, that 1t was upon the representa-
tons Of the roulette. wheel managers he did so.
The defense will have the merit OF novelty If
nothing else.
Gaston's attorney claims that the managers
Of the wheels drove his client into sucn frame
OF mind that he was not responsible for what
he did. That he became frenZied in playing
the wheel, and, when The game had completely
bankTupted him, the managers were cOntinu-
ally after him, telling him that II he would
only get little more money he would be sure
to win.
SO NuIkcu up ulu uO uCGOIuc Will lu6Se rep
reservations that he issued the checks, feeling
certain that with the winnings the roulette
wheel must yield he could make them good.
Every cent. CASTOR, asserts that he received on
these checks he played against the wheels at
the fair, and. as matter of course, lost.
Out OF these games against which his client
played his money, Gaston's attorney feels con
fdent that he has established direct connec
ton between two ana the fair management
and in support of his clients defense he pro.
poses to make a certain committee, whose
