1t wns n Fake nomb.

A piece of gas pipe foot long, filed with
sand and ashes with piece of electric light
wire protrudng from the end in the shape
Of fuse. created a great deal of consterna-
tion at Lake Manawa yesterday. The bomb
was carefully laid on one of the porches Of
Colonel Reeds pavilion at night, when the
watchmar was expected to make his rounds.
bit of tow and cotton was fixed to the fuse
so that IL would burn and smoke for half an
hour before II burned itself out. The watch
man found it when It was smoking good and
hard, and in the dim light OF his lantern 1t
loomed up as a terrible engine Of destruc-
ton. TIE watchman got away to a
safe distance and bombarded it with snow
balls for an hour, and when the last vestige
of smoke had disappeared he ventured near
enough to see II. 1t did not look any better
on close inspection, but he kept away from
1t and kept 1t under close surveillance until
ported thes facts to Emmett Tinley, who
has charge of Colonel Reeds business and
looks after his interests during the colonefs
absence. Tinley instructed the young man
carefully. He tenderly placed 1t in a basket
Of cotton and carried 1t to Tinley's office,
walking all the way from Manawa for fear
the jolt of buggy might cause the thing
to explode. The electric light wire and the
sand revealed the true inwardness OF the
bomb and Tinley put 1t away and ordered
that nothing be said about it, The bomb
was made in a blacksmith shop near by,
and was intended to scare the watchman.

doubtful States in the West and

would give Bryan 235 electoral
votes or IL more than enough to
elect.
This matter should not be allow.

For more than a week reports
of the death of the great. Cuban
leader, Antonio Maceo, have been
flying thick and fast with varying
degrees of accuracy. Some that
he had been killed in battle, others
that he had been assasinated, while
no one believed any Of them. But
it is now believed that he has been
killed by some method or other.
He was perhaps the greatest OF
Cuban leaders in battle, but bis

The donation from the sugar
planters of Ascension, headed by
Senator H. Mccall, is but the re-
flex of the princely hospitality,
the open handed generosity OF this
chiy alrous and noble race Of Lou
isiana. whose munifcent gifts and
open hearts in a time OF need or
peril. are world-famed.
Nothing could be donated the
drouth-stricken of this section that
will prove more acceptable than
this gift of sugar, which is one of
life's most appreciated necessities:
The Independent people of the hill
parishes of innate pride, even in
their hour of need will not hesi-
tate to express their heartfelt ap-
probation of the willing hands
stretched forth thus in spirit of
friendly gift and unsolicited giving
from the agriculturists of southern
Louisiana. 1t demonstrates the
bonds of amity, the homogeneity
of aims, the grand brotherhood OF
the citizens of Louisiana. The
Times takes pride in this feeble
recognition of the princely gene
rosity of the sugar planters of As
cension towards their unfortunate
fellow-citizens of this section OF
the state in their behalf.-Shreve-
port Times.
The sugar planters of Ascension
were the first people outside the
drouth belt to respond to our ap,
peals. Before the drOuth had beer
broken in this section, these goot
people in mass-meeting passed res,
olutions of sympathy and rendered
their charity and work for the
sufferers. And now comes this
muniicent gift, and we also heal
that Capt. j. N. Pharr of St
| Mary, with his characteristic broad
guaged philanthropy, is getting W
similar donation, while the rail
roads connecting that section witt
the sufferers have through the in
fluence of these large patrons Of
theirs, been induced to bring it fre'
of charge. The Times fully ex
presses our sentiments in the above
quotation, which cannot be too of
ten repeated.
