She Will BE Resersed in I.auaan

SAN FRANCISCO, May 10. 1ss7.-Jsannine
Young, the Baroness Won Turkheim'' is now
reaping the whirlwiad. cablegram from her
received in this city states that she has at last
awakened to the fact that she is the victim
OF a conspiracy and that she is anxious to re-
turn to this city. She states that she is at the
Hotel Cecil in London, and that Won Arnold
aiias Turkheim, intends to desert her early
this morning. She asks her friends to send
her suffieient money to return here as she
is without funds. That she now appreciates
fully the duplicity of Turkheim is shown by
the suggestion that steps be taken to effect
the extradition of her husband and compel his
return to this State. where, it is alleged he
committed the crimes of bigamy, perjury and
conspiracy.
The deceived and deserted woman sent three
cablegrams to San Francisco all of which were
of the same tenor. One was addressed to the
Chief of Police and read as follows
London May 9-Dfscovered proof of Del

TRUCK FARMING.

Truck farming is evidently in
creasing in Louisiana, and there is
no reason why this State should
not become the winter ana spring
market garden of the Mississippi
Valley.
We are Leo to these remarks bv
noticing that call was recently
issued in the Sabine Banner for the
organization of Truck Farmers
Association at Many, in the parish
of Sabine. The meeting was to
have been held February "a, and
we trust an organization was eff
fected and we believe much good
will come from it.
One of the great difficulties that
surround these minor industries is
the lack of practical knowledge on
the part of the farmers of how to
plant, cultivate, pack and market
such produce. When it comes to

| When we come to Irish potatoes,

Southern Farmer.
In spite Of the fact that the con-
tributions for the drouth sufferers
in North Louisiana have come
mainly from the southern section
of the State; that part of the State
sends all it's trade to ST. Louis.
Last week one of the Anchor line
Of steamboats, came down from
St. Louis to New Orleans with
5000 packages of freight, only
LOO OF which remained in the
latter city, the rest Of this immense
cargo being reshipped to North
Louisiana by boat. Strange that
st. Louis can sell goods at such a
price that the buyers can afford to
pay two freight charges and then
get their goods cheaper than in
New Orleans and stranger still
that these people will turn from
those who help help them to buy
from 81 community that has not
contributed one nickle to alleviate
their distress. Possibly the very
money that generous New Orleans
merchants have contributed has
been sent to st. Louis to the COT
fers OF their business rivals. Alas
for human ingratitude .-Spring-
field Bee.
Our merchants are all successful
business men and The Progress
feels assured that there is some
good reason for their action in
buying in st. Louis in preference
to New Orleans-if it is a fact.
But we are not lacking in appre-
citation, Bro. Mather! and while |
Shreveport was not direct sufferer,
still she sympathises with her peo-

them is considered as one to our

II what we read be true of the
acts of Major Beardsley, the great |

with reference to his high freight
charges on supplies shipped over
his road to the drouth sufferers, he

his neck for a collar button, or to
pasture a goat on his grand moth

VERY many people are of the opinion
that Assemblyman Wildes' bill looking
toward reduction in salaries of state
officials should include the Governor and
others who are thought to be receiving
more compensation than they are entitled
to in comparison to the services rendered
New Jersey certainly pays a pretty good
salary to her chief executive. In fact
there are but three states in the union that
pay their Governors $Io 900 per year. They
are New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania. Salaries in the other states are !:
Massachusetts,, Ohio, 5000 each; Cali
fornia, Illinois, $1,000 each; Colorado,
Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri,
Montana, Virginia, Wisconsin. $1,000
each Connecticut, Louisiana, Michigan,
Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, Washington,
$4,000 each /; Maryland, "a, 500; Florida,
Mississippi, South Carolina, s., 500 each !;
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia. Idaho. Iowa,
Kansas, North Carolina, North Dakota
Rhode Island, 5000 each; Delaware,
Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, S.
500 each Maine, New Hampshire, Utah,
West Virginia, $4,000 each Oregon, Yer
mont, $4,000 each. The objection to New
Jerseys Governor receiving such a large
salary would probably not be so great if
he gave larger portion of his time to the
Office, but the general opinion is that one
day week is well paid for at SIC, 1000
year. of course the reduction could not
take place until the expiration of the
present Governors term, as the constitu-
ton of the state explicitly says that the
executives salary shall not be increased
or diminished during the term for which
he was elected.
