Big Barn Burned.

The large, fine new barn of Joseph
Feather. of near Herring, caught fire
in some way and was burned To tue
ground last night about nine o'clock
1t cost $1,000 and contained all his
grain and feed aud some farming im-
plementS and machinery, the whole
being consumed with one horse that
was in the barn at the time making
a loss Of about 81, 900 with no insurance
There is no clue to the origin OF the
fire as no one had been about the barn
since early in the evening and IL is sup
posed TO be the work OF an incendiary.
1t was first discovered about nine
o'clock, when the fro was bursting
out the top and all around the barn
and IL was impossible TO save anything
at all The threshiug machine, which
had just quit work for the season,
luckily had not been put IN the barn
yet. The fire made big display and
showed up very bright here in King
wood, lasting for over an hour 1t
was thought then TO be either the
house or barn OF Mr.. Feathers.

ANOTHER ICE COMPANY.
Is 1t True That Shreveport VIII
Have One?

THE PROGRESS dosn't know
whether the report is true or not, it
has not been allowed the time to
trace it to a true or false source,
but there is a rumor abroad that
a number of our citizens are or
ganizing a stock company for the
purpose of erecting another ice
plant in Shreveport.
We sincerely hope this report is
entirely so and that work will
commence immediately. In writ
ing this there is no criticism in
tended against Mr.. L. II. Logan
solidated Ice Company, but be-
need of another ice company, or
a greater supply OF ice. 1t must
be borne in mind that competent
more than 5000 abitants larger
than it was twelve months /, o,
perhaps almost double that num-
Der more than she was two years
ago. These things considered, it
seems to us that it can readily be
seen that the present company can
nOL meet l1lc anu IL
there be doubt ask the pat
rOnS and ascertain from them
what kind of service they get. See
if general dissatisfaction does not
exist; see if the complaint is not
large and loud.
Now. we shall not say that Mr..
Logan is Indifferent to -" ITS
and necessities of his patrons be-
cause we believe we know ...u well
enough to publicly says he is not
only good business II an, but al
so one more inclined to put himself
out to serve, rather than to treat
with contempt the pull lie, simply
because he has the only refractory
here. Then shall we say the dri-
vers of the wagons are the ones
who don't care. Thai they re
absolutely dictatorial il. their de-
liveries and service? No we will
not, and yet one of the three pro-
positions must be accepted.

FOR TIIE. NEXT
CAMPAIGN.

The withdrawal yesterday by
the State Of indictments which
have been standing for some time
in the Criminal District Court
against Maurice j. Hart is only a
logical sequence Of the recent
abandonment by the State Of a
case that was on trial against him.
There are some other indictments
in another division of the court,
but they will be withdrawn, as a
matter Of course, and Mr.. Hart
goes out freed from all the official
accusations that have been made
against him.
The chief interest that the
charges against Mr.. Hart had for
the people Of this community was
in a possible connection with the
official corruption at the City Hall
under the late administration.
The old Council cherished an as
tonishing regard for Mr.. Hart, and
avished public franchises and CT
ty contracts on him almost with
out limit, while Councilmen were
making trouble for other citizens
who wanted favors and were fore
ed to pay for them with brides.
When the corruption of the old
Council was brought to light, it
aroused a powerful popular ex-
element, and able and vigorous
| prosecution of the criminals in the
courts promptly followed. Many
| of the Councilmen were indicted
| for various acts of corruption in
Office, while some of them were
tried, convicted and condemned
and incarcerated in the penitintia-
~.
But finally a change came over
the situation. All prosecution
ceased; those of the boodlers who
had been sentenced to punishment
were pardoned, and the entire
matter will be suffered to drop in
to oblivion. At the last city
election the old city ring politi-
clans were in the depths of dis
grace. The great body Of the peo-
pie were arrayed against them,
and those who were not in the
penitentiary were driven from pow
er. But another great political
campaign is now on hand. 1t is
for the control of the city repre-
sentation in the constitutional con-
found in much better condition.
It's members are all out of prison,
with the stamp of pardon and OFF,
cia1 Endorsement of their pristine
purity and piety upon them. Be-
ing thus rehabilitated and as good
as new, and set on their feet, they
