Kate Ginp,s.Insurance.

Harry T. Hayward, awaiting execu-
ton for the murder of Catherine Cling,
has assigned his interest in the insur-
ance upon her life to his father, w. w.
Hayward. The move is peculiar one,
inasmuch as he had fled his answer in
the suit brought against him by Julia
Cling to secure title to the $4,000. The
assignment will leave it to the assignee
to defend the title, and Harry can only
act as witness in the case. 1t is prob
able that the assignment was for the
purpose of putting the burden of the
battle upon some one who was free,
and also to reimburse the father as far
as possible for the expense of the de-
Tense in the criminal action.

PardOned.
Gov. Clough has pardoned the Floyd
boys. They were convicted in connec-
ton with defalcation from the Bank
of Minneapolis, of which Phil Scheig
was the paying teller. The latter, it
will be remembered, turned up missing
one morning, and several thousand dol
lars of the banks money was likewise
absent. It afterwards developed that
Scheig was joined by the Floyd boys
and that they went through the south
ern country with wagon, brass band,
team of horses and everything else that
made life pleasurable. They were cap
tured in New York city just as they
were to sail for Brazil, where they ex-
pected to join the revolutionary forces.
They have been in prison 10 months,
being sent there in April, 1894.

The Lost Found. !

The daughter Of Gilbert Mattson, a
farmer living three miles south of Hec-
tor, has been heard from. Seventeen
years ago this summer the 4-year-old
girl was sent out with a lunch to carry
to her brother, who was herding cattle
not far from the house. This was the
last seen or heard of the little one nn-
til a letter from New York came to the
home of the Mattsons from the daugh-
ter, now a lady 81 years old.
After her sudden and mysterious dis
appearance the country was searched
for miles around; all the sloughs were
dragged and every effort made to re-
cover the lost child. Finally the search
was given up and the little girl was
mourned as dead by her parents, and
when what was supposed to be bones
of small child and some pieces of
clothing were found in a large slough
near the Madison farm, it was thought
certain that the little one was dead.

general as Louisiana Day at the
Cotton States and Interpational
Exposition at Atlanta, and to inform
the public that special rates of
transportation have been secured
from the several railroad companies
at the ate Of one cent a mile each
way, for one week from ali points in
Louisiana.
The Louisiana exhibit is one Of the
best and most attractive of the State
exhibits, and earnestly urge upon
the public the Importance of attend
ing the Exposition on Louisiana
Day, Individually, or as commercial,
military or other organizations, and
by a numerous. interested and
patriotic representation, make the
day memorable in the history Of this
great industrial fair.
I canuot too strongly impress on
our people the importance Of the
Cotton States and international
Exposition, which, though literally
patronized by The Northern States,
is chiefly a Southern enterprise, TO
which Louisiana should lend her
most active aid and assistance.
Through this Exposition the South
has an unsurpassed medium of max
ing known to the world her great
richness of soil, abundance of timber.

climates, and our State should be
conspicuous in accomplishing this
