Wheatlev II is small in size, but the

and spirit. 1t was stated beforehand
that the plant was purchased in the in
terest of Single Tax, but the editors
say, "This paper, we repeat, will be the
organ of no political party. But it
shall be fair to all parties, even to the
Single Tax. The truth or falsity of any
policy, old or new. will be exposed by
the greatest publicity" An editorial
paragraph is as follows:
"What good has come to our citizens
who have been marching up to the bal
lot-bOx for over one hundred years-
just like Johnnie in the nursery rhyme
marching up the hill and marching
down again." The truth is, the march
of the voter has been to slavery, degra-
dation and death, for it has brought
more bonds, more interest, more taxes
more and still more paupers."

THE papers speak with remarkable
unanimity in the action of the Texas
Legislature in passing stringent law
against the prize fight between Corbett
and Fitzsimmons. Such contests are
utterly demoralizing to the public, are a
reproach to any community permitting
one to take place and it is hoped such
contests may be driven to Mexico. It is
fortunate for the cause of decency and
good order that the people of Texas
have a resolute Governor in the person
of Charles F. Culberson. who knows
his duty and understand the fitness oi
things.

IT seems to be hard for an erroneous
statement to to be gotten straight in
some papers. Thus, a newspaper of Sat
urday located the next Institute of the
Teachers of Kent County at Milford
and the Morning NelUs as late as Mon
day said it had not yet been decided
whether it would be held in Smyrna or
Dover, when the fact had been definite
ly stated for nearly a week that it
would be held in Smyrna. We again
state for the information of those in
doubt that the Institute will be held in
Smyrna-the first week in December.

FRANK RIEMAN has just closed his
bee season with tlattering results and
1t has proven the largest be has ever
had. The output this season has been
1000 pounds-16,000 pounds of comb
honey and 5000 pounds of strained
This amount would probably have
been 5000 pounds more if a rain had
occurred about the middle of septem-
ber, but the continued dry spell had
considerable effect on golden rod and
aster, enough to keep the bees from
working among it. Most of the honey
has been from scarlet and white clover
which has been unusually fine and as
high as 300 pounds has been made by a
single swarm, Mr.. Rieman started the
season with 100 sWarms and has in /.
creased that amount to 800 swarms and
by next year he expects to increase his
apiary to 300 swarms. The gain ia
made honey over that of last season
has been $4,000 pounds, and Mr.. Rie.
man is well pleased with his seasons
work. He owes this increase to q new
process which he has discovered Ia
raising honey. Mr.. Rieman oIaime not
only to be the largest bee raiser ii

THE NEW ORLEANS EXPLOSION
Police Incline to Believe 1t the Result of an
Accident

Accident
NEW ORLEANS, April 5.-While the
police are inclined to believe the explo-
sion at the French market was the result
of an accident, people residing in the
vicinity of the wrecked building are of an
entirely different opinion. They state
openly the explosion was the attempt to
kill Boulet, who had such miraculous
escape.
Boulet is a Frenchman who, two years
ago, shot and killed one of the ealthiest
men doing business near the French
market. This man, Ariesten Baestraci,
and Boulet were in the saloon business
together Boulet's wife contracted liai-
son with Balestraci, which caused Boulet
to leave her. Balestraci would taunt Bou-
let with the dishonor but was always
surrounded by friends when doing so.
Two years ago they met IN the French
market and Balestraci, who was carrying
a cane, drew from its sheath large sword
with which he attacked Boulet. The lat
ter drew a revolver, fred and killed the
Italian. The trial resulted in Boulet's
acquittal. Ever since then Boulet has
been looked upon as marked man. His
friends tried to persuade him to leave the
city, or at least stay away from the
market, but he refused. Last night he
occupied room in the bar room on the
second floor, and it is believed the ex-
plosion was done for the simple purpose
of killing him. Balestraci was a leader
of the Italian colony and Just the sort OF
a man to be at the head OF the Malta. The
dead so far recovered are Charles Salathe,
grocer; Mrs. Charles Saiathe, his wife; a
14-months-old infant of Mr.. and Mrs.
Salathe; Felix Rigot, barkeeper; James
Edwards, employed by Barthol.
