= HORSE Thief Captured.
Crowley Signal.
The bad element Of negro Grim
inals seems TO think that Crowley is
an asylum for their kind. but they
find they are mistaken very often.
Constable w. w. Higginbotham,
accompanied by Leon Richard. of
Carencro, La, who had q fine sorrel
mare stolen from him there and
traced the thief to Crowley, found
him hidden in hay rick on DR.. J..
F. Naftels farm, Wednesday after
noon. He was known by the name
Of .'Buddy,." alias Jean Babtiste,
and has relatives living in Crowley.
He said he had turned the mare
loose before entering town and she
had not been found this morning.
A little negro boy saw the thief con-
ceal himself in the hay and informed
the officer. A pitchfork was pro-
cured and by jobbing down in the
hay he was made to come out. He
was lodged in the parish jail.
The stolen mare was found near
Rayne Wednesday and restored to
Mr.. Richard. Constable Breaux, of
Carencro, La. came over Saturday
and carried the prisoner .sBuddy''
alias Jean Baptiste, back to that
place.

A Better Outlook.
Thursdays Times-Democrat con-
tanned the following on the yellow
fever situation:
yesterday was not record
breaker, SO far as fever is con-
cerned. The new cases in the city
numbered fftytwo and the deaths
eleven. Outside only three deaths
are reported, one at Scranton and
two at Memphis. The new cases
were twelve at Biloxi, which is at
later date following the example
Of Ocean Springs and immuning the
entire population; nine at Scranton,
seven at Montgomery, six at Mo-
bile. five each at Bay St. Louis and
Memphis, two at Pascagoula, and
one at Baton Rouge.
''Nothing could more plainly
than this record show what is hap
pening-the fever is barely holding
its ground, and a few days will
bring such atmospheric conditions
that it will fall short of that accom-
pIishment.
''Whatever may be said of the
letting in of the fever, the Board of
Health has made magnificent
fight since its outbreak here, and
should continue on its present
course sturdily to the end, paying
no attention to the clamor Of those
who would have been equally clam
orous had the board pursued an
opposite course"

Those Germs.

1nOSS OeTmSs
Daily States.
He is poor doctor, indeed, who
in these times cannot discover a
microbe in one thing or another.
The air and the earth and the woods
are full of them. 1t is estimated
that single hand-strap in a steet
car has cllnging to it more than 49,
900, 900 microbes, and they are in
creased in proportion to the number
of times the strap is clutched by the
human hand. Fifty years ago very
little was known or heard of mi
crobes, but in spite of this fact, the
world seemed to get along very
nicely and people were in the habit
of living much longer than they do
now, although microbes were con-
stantly attacking them from all sides
in the most vicious way. At that
time they were ignorant of the ex-
istence of any thing like microbe,
and therefore, did not know how to
defend themselves against the pest,
but this did not prevent them from
living the full four score years and
ten and more. The microbes were
either less vicious in those days than
they are now, or the people were
tougher. Now, however, being
aware that we breathe, eat and drink
microbes, we die earlier and oftener
than our grandfathers and mothers
used to do, at least that is what the
scientists tell US, and the fact that
we are a great deal smarter than our
ancestors, does not appear to help
US even little bit. We know all
about microbes, but we have not
yet discovered the art of lodging
them, and the chances are we never
will.

LOP.S SIDED PROSPERITY.
Times Democrat.
The triumphal paean to whose
strains Marcus Alonzo Hanna is
making his campaign through the
cities and towns of Ohio is the ere
turn of prosperity" and always
with the paean. Of course, is heard
= muffled threat in a minor key
that, unless the Buckeyes return
Hanna to the Senate, that prosper
ity which he and the advance agent
are responsible for will have no
long continuance. The one great
evidence, moreover, of this Wanted
prosperity on which the RePubli-
cans are SO clamorous felicitating
themselves is the ssdollar wheat"
which was heard of two or three
days in the Chicago and New York
and Liverpool market, but which
has since that time suffered a very
material decline.
Hanna has recently expressed
his profound establishment when
some of the farmers of his State
who raise wheat have stood-uP in
meetin' and denied the ''dollar
wheat" allegation, chasing it with
those myths which are frequently
rounded out for political use. They
have told him that, in those same
days when the world was ringing
with the ssdollar wheat" Tie Deum,
the average price of the cereal on
the farm was not more than rs
cents; and while, of course, that
figure was very much better than the
SO cents or less which is used to
fetch, it was not quite SO much as
the loudly blazoned dollar.
Some of these same dissatisfied
Buckeye farmers, moreover, have
had the audacity to inquire why it
was, when the advance agent and
his manager were engaged in the
groundwork of bringing on pros
perity, that they had not brought it
on fairly and impartially SO that
everybody should have slice of it.
Many of the farmers of the Western
and Northwestern States hardly
raise any wheat at all, the soil of
their farms not being adapted to
the growth of wheat. The ce-
reals they raise are corn and
oats. Now although the price
of wheat stands at high figure
owing to the accidental failure of
the crops in most of the wheat
growing countries in other parts of
the world, the price of corn and
oats has not risen, but remains at a
figure which is scarcely remunera
tive to the growers. The farmers in
Ohio and elsewhere, who do not
own or rent wheat-farms, are anxious
to know from Hanna and the other
trumpeters of prosperity how it is
that, in the dispensation of good
things dropping from the fingers of
the present administration, other
farmers than those who raise wheat
have not been blessed with a share
of the prosperity. They grumble
that they have been overlooked in
the prosperity distribution so much
talked-of; and they want to know
what ignorant sin they have COM
mitted that they should be thus
punished by nonparticipation when
the good things were being handed
around. And, getting no satisfac-
tory explanation of tbs partial
providence, they are I'D enough
to assert that the prosperity OF the
advauce-agent and his manager is
but lop-sided prosperity ut best,
and to predict that, with the pecu-
liar wheat situation this season in
other countries, It will be confined
10 this seAson and end with il.
