Negro Boys Arrested for
Theft.

On Friday night of last week,
John Williams, James Wilson,
Willie Perryman and Rossier Bars,
four negro boys, were arrested and
placed into Jail Oh a number of
charges.
On Wednesday night, when MIR.
Mr.. Victor blanche, who keeps a
confectionery in Covington, went
to count his cash and close up for
the night, he found that a thief
had taken advantage of his absence
and had stolen his money drawer
and contents. A search was made
by Mr.. blanche and others to find
the stolen property, but to no avail.
Mr.. f. J. Frederick, few days
ago purchased several sacks Of
wool from strange young negro.
A conference was held between Mr..
Frederick and the firm of Babing-
ington Bros. & Co., and it devel-
oped that the wool had been stolen
from that firm. A praty was at
once organized, and last Friday
night search was made, which
resulted in the arrest of the above
named negroes for the theft of the
wool. Suspicion pointed to John
Williams and Jas. Wilson, who
were in the employ Of Darlington
Bros. & Co., and when arrested
Wilson confessed and gave the en-
tire affair away. He told how the
wool had been. taken by Perryman,
Williams and himself from the
warehouse of the Babingtons and
sold by him to Mr.. Frederick, and
how the money and money drawer
Of Mr.. Planche's had been stolen
by himself and Bars when MIR.
blanche had gone in the back part
Of the building. The drawer con-
tanned about $50.
Justice of the Peace Kennedy
placed Bars under $3.50 bonds,
Wilson 5000 and Williams and
Perryman $500 each to appear at
the next term Of the District Court.
1t was developed at the trial that
James Wilson, alias Woods, is
a notorious thief, having served
a sentence in Washington parish
for the robbery Of Hamp Magee's
store.
Since the arrest several of our
merchants who bought wool from
them have discovered that it was
stolen.
John Williams was released on
bond last Monday, his mother going
on his bond.

Boss Hanna's man, Dick, may be
relieved of the management Of the
Hanna Campaign in Ohio. He has
got himself the i'll will Of the Repub-
lican magnates for having bungled
his work in bribing certain OHIO
Populists. Instead Of using each,
he was tlloughtless enough TO have
used checks, and these disagreeable
proofs Ut bribery have gotten into
the wrong hands. The magnates
aforesaid expected Dick to arrange
for tue nomination Of a strait Popu-
list State ticket in Ohio, and for
other Populist assistants to the
Republican State and legislative
tickets. especially the latter, but
they didn't expect him to do it so
clumsily as to be caught at it. As
no explanation has been or can he
put forward by Dick that will satisfy
an enselllgent and unprejudiced
MUD that he has not been en-
gagged in Wholesale bribery, 1t is
believed that Boss Hanna will seek
to escape responsibility for the
bribery by pretending to rebuke
Dick by taking the management
Of the campaign out Of his hands.
Dicks bribery has greatly strength.

News was received here tonight Of
the dastardly murder Of Hon. Francis
B. Lloyd, of Butler county, about
5 o'clock this afternoon while riding
home from the town OF GreeDville.
by . man named John A. Gafford.
The killing occurred about three
miles from the town, and from The
meagre accounts received j: is evil
dent that the murderer fired both
barrels of shot gun at this victem.
leaving him dead in the road. No
cause is assigned for the foul deed.
The murderer made his escape,
and being well armed, there may be
trouble to arrest him, but Mr..
Lloyd's numerous friends will make
! strong effort TO run him down.
Mr.. Lloyd was a member OF the
Alabama Legislature, and one Of
the Democratic leaders of the
House. He possessed . well-trained
mind, welded facilc pen and w.s
universally liked. His writings
under the nom de plume Of ''Rufus
Sanders" have gained him a nation

giving to the press his dialect stories
of Southern country life and man.

He leaves q wife and three children,
who have the heartfelt sympathy Of

\ resident of Southern Louisiana,
in writing to friends in the North,
was trying to give them some idea
of the fertility of the soil there.
He said they had to NOW the grass
off the floor to find the baby. One
family near him had twin babies
with only one cradle, and the kid
that had to sleep on the floor grew
twice as fast as the other. Where
the soil is richest 4 man dare not
stand on one foot any length of
time lest one foot become longer
than the other and bother him in
walking. This is said to be true
bill and they have no use for ferti-
ilzer whatever.-Roseland Herald.

washington, ID. u. July 70, leSd.J
The attention of the public is called
to the fact that immense areas of the
public forests are annually destroyed
by fire, originating, in many Instances,
through the carelessnesS of prOspectOrS,
campers, hunters, and others: while in
some cases the fires are started with
malicious intent.
Warning is hereby given that the
origin IF all forest fires will be closely
investigated, aud, where the fire is as
certained to have originated through
carelessness or design the persons i'm
plicated will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law.
The public generally IS requested to
aid the officers of the Government in
it's efforts to check the evil referred to,
and in the punishment Of all Offenders.
The Act Of Congress approved Feb

Truth About the KlOn-
dyke Region.

There are quite a number of peo-
pie who contemplate making a rush
to the Alaskan gold mines as soon
as an opportunity offers without
knowing anything whatever about
the country or the hardships they
will be called upon to endure.
For the information of these add
venturous spirits it is well to warn
them to look we'll before they leap
and know what they are doing, be-
cause a journey to the gold mines
of far off and frigid Alaska is far
from being a holiday excursion or
even long distance business trip.
Two years ago a small book writ
ten by Mr.. V. Wilson was pub
lished at Seattle descriptive of the
Yukon gold fields and the best
way to reach them. The author
sums up his account of the journey
to the Yukon by the Chilkoot pass
as follows:
'sThe trip is one which will tax
the endurance and nerve of the
most hardy, and only such men
can reasonably expect to succeed.
For only with the most incessant
toll, such as packing provisions
over painless mountains, towing a
heavy boat against a five to eight
mile current, over battered bowl
ders, digging in the bottomless
frost, sleeping where night over
takes, fighting gnats and mosqui-
toes by the millions, shooting
seething canyons and rapids, and
enduring for seven long months
relentless cold which never rises
above zero and frequently falls to
80 below-any man physically en-
dowed to overcome these obstacles
who will go there for a few years
can by strict attention to business
make a good stake within the possi-
bilities of a fortune"
The discovery of gold in what is
now called the Klondyke region is
not new thing. 1t was found
there as far back as the early eos
by men Of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, and since then thousands of
people have persisted in a vain at
tempt to make ga strike"

A Slam On Us.
Editor St. Tammany Farmer:

Editor st. Tammany Farmer:
The other day the eyes of YOUR hum
BILE servant CHANGED to fall upon little
pamphlet which purports to be write
up of Covington and st. Tammany
Parish. Among other good features of
this "write-up' is an excellent cut Of
our handsome Mayor, whom we de-
light to honor, also of our magnificent
Town Hall, Of which we are all SO proud.
But in vain did these anxious eyes look
for . cut or even q mention of our fine
public school building, that not only oc-
cupies prominent place in our town (?)
but q warm one in our hearts ca.
I desire here and now to enter .
solemn protest aga inst any such treat
ment of QUE best interest, and demand
that our school house shall occupy the
first page of the next write-up. Yours
for fair treatment,
INDIGNANT CITIZEN.
1t is true that Covington needs a
public school building. We have
contended for this number of
years. We have good public
schools, both white and colored,
but the teachers must supply the
buildings, which as rule are UNI
suited for the purpose. And as
for private schools, We have quite
a number, that will compare favor
ably with any town in the State.
In fact Covington is dotted with
good preparatory schools. A
handsome public school building.
however, would be a credit to the
town, and we should have one, by
all means. The shortest and best
method we know Of to accomplish
this result would be for one hun
dred Of our citizens to come for
W ard with $50 90 each, making a
total of $4,000, which we think
would be sufficient to build q very
creditable structure. While we
are not a patron of the public
schools, still we are willing to
give that amount. in aid of the
good cause. Now let 80 others
signify their willingness to do the
same, and the much needed build
ing will be erected in short order.
