AMERICAN WHEELS BEST.
German Makers Ask Higher Tariff 10

German MnlSerD Ask Higher Tariff to
Save Their Market.
Charles De Kay, United States consul
general at Berlin, in a report to the
state department, calls attention to the
fact that German bicycle makers ara
deeply concerned at the very large and
growing competition of American ma
chimes.
TheLeague of Industrials at Bochum,
an important manufacturing center.
has taken up the matter, and in me-
mortal to the German government calls
attention 10 the fact that this great in
dCstry is in imminent peril owing to
the rivalry of American bicycle manr-
facturers.
They complain that the United States
levies duty on foreign-made wheels of
about SIPS, while the German duty,
being only S5.71 on 100 kilograms, only
from II to 95 cents duty falls on the
American wheels. On these and other
grounds the aid of the German govern
ment is asked in behalf of'the home in
dustry.

says it is not because the american
wheels are of foreign make that they
sell so rapidly in Germany, but be-
cause they are the strongest, lightest,
soundest and most elegant in shape
They have quite taken the field, he says
from Belgian, Austrian and British
| wheels.
He expresses the opinion that large
concessions could be made with safety
to the Germans in the way Of lower
duties on German-made wheels, as tn,
German public is now so well convinced
of the superiority of the American
wheels that we'will continue to hold thu
market so long as this high standard il
maintained.
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz, Sax
ony, is report to the state department
also calls attention to the effort tina
is being made by German bicycl,
makers in that province to secure
higher duties on American wheels. T,
this end the bund of German industrie
have petitioned the foreign Office on tn
subject, asking for immediate relic
from the threatened danger.

on Harvey A. Kibbey, who is being

eight-year-old son, George NJ. Kibbey,

NO NEW BONDS.

There seemsc to be an erroneous I'M

days ago for the purpose of expeI.-

reduced to per cent, which will be a

The many friends in Lafayette
Of Judge John Clegg will be glad to
read the following compliment paid
him by the Times Democrat. In
the account of the trial before the
United States court of the bank
wreckers, Gardes, Gerault and
Underwood, Judge Clegg figures
very prominently as one of the attor-
neys for the defense. Judge Clegg
is man Of. recognized ability and
with his knowledge of the law and
splindid adroitness he is sure to
achieve success at the bar. This
is what. the T. d. says of him:
Judge Clegg is the coolest look
man in the bunch. He never loses
his temper. his suavity of cross-ex-
amining witnesses, or any material
point of the case. He is here,
there and everywhere, always look
ing out for what might help his
client and putting everybody in a
good humor with his quiet sallies.
Judge Clegg is an ideal defense at
torney, and even in his dealings
with the hardest witnesses handles
his questions with such dizziness and
with so manifest a desire to be fair
to the witness that he manages to
get some concession in favor of his
position. He puts witness at his
safe, does not try to browbeat him,
and uses knowledge of human ma
ture instead of club in dealing
with men.

The True Remedy.

w. M. Repine, editor Tiskilway,
ILL.,, "Chief," says: We won't keep
house without DR.. Kings New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs
and colds. Experimental with
many others, but never got the true
remedy until we used DR.. Kings
New Discovery. No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as
in it we have a certain and sure
cure for coughs, colds, whooping
cough, ETC." 1t is idle to expert
ment with other remedies, even if
they are urged on you as just as
good as DR.. Kings New Discovery.
They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and
besides is guaranteed. 1t never
fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free

DEA TIL or JUDGE Gates.


Judge Fred Gates died in New
Iberia last week. The judge had
many friends in this parish who
were panied to hear Of his death.
Fred Gates was plucky man
and loyal friend. AS citizen
and Democrat he rendered a great
service to his parish and district.
He was pre-eminently the impla
cable foe of negroism. He was
just to the negro, but he was one
of those who believed, that Sambo
was not the proper person into
whose hands the reins of govern
ment should be placed. He led
the movement which resulted in
the establishment of white supre-
macy in Iberia parish. The odds
were against him, but he fought to
a finish and won the battle. 1t re-
quired a man of indomitable will
and unfinching courage. He pos
sessed both. He never gave up un-
til he had rid the district of corrup-
ton and incompency in public af-
fairs, and no one who knew him
ever doubted his bravery. AL
though he had occupied public Of
flee several times and was candi-
date for the votes of the people, he
was alwayssNhat he protested to be
and never played the part of the
demagogue.
There was one thing which Judge
Gates would not stand and that
was the negro in politics. When,
in the State Legislature, he was
speaking upon some issue that had
come up for discussion an oily
skinned darby who represented one
of the river parishes interrupted
him with some frivolous question.
He turned toward the colored law
giver and in language that was both
forcible and eloquent made him
distinctly understand that no such
impudence would be tolerated.
In his death the State Of Louis
lana loses good citizen.

NO USE FOR AN UNDERTAKEN
This Tells How the Expected Corpse
Travelled in the Same Train
With His Coffin.

The Philadelphia Record publishes
the following from San Antonio, Tex. j:
Robert Richmond, a young man
from st. Louis, was taken sick at
Maria, small town 400 miles west OF
here on the Southern Pacific Railroad.
He grew rapidly worse and became
unconscious, and his attending ply
sician telegraphed the parents in st.
Louis that their son was dying.
Then the parents wired instruc-
tions for the body to be embalmed
and shipped to st. Louis. There is no
embalmer and undertaken nearer than
San Antonio and a telegram was sent
there for one. The young man was
still alive, but his physician was posi-
tive that he would be dead in few
hours.
The San Antonio undertaken ar
rived at Maria next morning, and
found the young man still alive. He
waited 36 hours and Richmond showed
signs of improvement.
The undertaken left with the coffin
for San Antonio and Richmond was
brought here on the same train, ar
irving last night. The trip did him 80
much good that he will leave the hos
pital in few days a we'll man.

BROOKLYN FIREBUGS.
Startling Disclosures Mace by Three
Men.

NEW YORK, February 2.-Morris
Schoenholz, Abraham Steinberg and
Adolph Herschkopf, three of Brook
lyn's firebugs, have made startling
confessions. Between seventy and
eighty persons are accused. Their
names are withheld to aid in bringing
them to trial. The details of these
extraordinary statements just made
in the Raymond street jail, Brooklyn,
recite in detail an almost incredible
history of the various firebug connec-
tions arranged to perpetrate these
crimes.
First come the "mecha1ics," who
set the buildings on fire; next the
man who took the excessive insur-
ance on their more or less bogus
stock; next the adjusters of the
amounts the insurance companies
should pay. But back OF all these
conspirators in crime stand pilloried
in infamy the originators of the
scheme for destroying property and
often human lives. One Of the most
startling features of the revelations
is that women were beaten with clubs
by their husbands when they refused
to Join the conspiracy.
