Leedy calls up the infamy Of rewards
in criminal prosecutions, says the
AtchisOn Champion. 1t is 3 vivid re-
minder OF the avarice Of man, who for
money viii swear the life Of a fellow
man away. William Chapman was
murdered at Pittsburg in 1891 He vas

fsred q reward OF $500 for the arrest
and conviction OF the murderer. The
result was that Lee was arrested and
convicted az sentenced to be hanged,
He was sent to the penitentiary to
await the signing Of the death warrant
by the governor. The board Of pardons
on al Investigation, found that Lee
vas innocent. Allen Pinkerton once
said the worst festure Of his business
vas rewards. He said all he needed to
send q man to the gsIlows was some
little circumstance which could not be
explained away and $50 reward; he

Kansas depends for prosperity upon
the successful IabOrs Of the agricultur-
lists Of the state, for manufactures, in
dependent of the packing houses which
are located on Kansas soil, are not
among the leading industries. The
production Of coal and lead IS Of some
consequence, but it is chiefly on the
crops OF the cereals and the production
of live stock that Kansas has 20 rely.
According to the annual report of the
secretary Of the Kansas state board OF
agriculture, the net increase in the
value Of the agricultural productions
OF the state this year over asst IS 3d.
So, 459, and Of live stock SO, 153,O4S, a
total net increase for the year Of Sd,
74O,JOT. In the past two years the in
crease in the value Of Kansas agricul-
tural productions has been s35, 632, 7O6,
and Of live stock $4,000, O32, or a total
increase during the biennial period Of
1920, T3S.
One fact is said to be worth thous-
and theories, but in the report OF the
Kansas state board OF agriculture there
are many facts, which make plain the
cause of tho steady strides forward Of
Kansas City, whose main reliance for
trade is upon the state of Kansas.
When the farmers OF that state can
harvest So, 5O4OO1 worth OF wheat, corn
and oats in one year, and during the
same time market live stock valued at
nearly 100000, It is very patent that
even with a season not at all that it
should have been, the returns have, as
a general thing, been very satisfactory.
The growth Of the diversified indus
tries has been marked when the est
mated value Of the cheese, butter, milk,
poultry and eggs produced in the state
is more than 100000. There are
crops like fax, Kafiir corn and the
forage crops, also hay and wool, which
have brOght thousands Of dollars into
the state. There is nothing in the out
look at present discouraging to the
we'll wisher Of Kansas. The crucial
period was passed several years ago,
and the experience gained at that time
has been worth all it cost, for it laid
the foundation for a prosperous era
along new lines--K. G. Times.

A Sad Case.

A. young soldier. on his way to
Houston from Miami stopped in
Lafayette this week. He had left
Miami to visit his father WHO was
reported dangerously ill at Houston,
but before he reached this place he
heard of his death. Beng without
any money he called upon Mayor
Caffery for assistance. The mayor
was about to provide the young
man with the price of ticket to
Houston when he Informed the
mayor that he had met some rail-
road men who had offered to carry
him to his destination. The young
man stated that his fathers death
would leave his mother and a sister
dependent upon him for support.
He seemed to feel his position
keenly and expressed the hope that
the war department would discharge
him and permit him to return home
to care for his mother aud sister.

Tomorrow evening for the purpose
of raising funds to be donated to

before the boys will receive any pay

change would undoubtedly be cheer
fully accepted by them. New Ibe-
ria, Donaldsonville and other Louis

literally toward the same end and
we trust that our people will be just
as liberal as their neighbors. A
game between two local teams will
be played and refreshments will be
sold. The use of the park has been
given for the occasion.

To Recover Possession OF Belle
Isle.
A special from New Iberia to the
Times emocrat says: A suit to
recover Belle Isle, in St. Mary pa
IRISH, by Messrs Todd s. Todd of
this place and some Franklin attor-
news for the heirs of Francis Con
soulln, who are said TO have been
recognized as the owners by the
United States Land Commissioners
in 1875. The island comprises al
together some 1850 acres, and is
now held by the Gulf Company,
who are operating a salt mine there.
A patent is said to have been signed
in recent years to the Gonsoulin
heirs. 1t recently developed
through the Investigations 'of the
above named firms that all the deeds
from r. 3. Lawrence in 1879, down
to that of the Gulf Company, have
recited that this chain Of title came
from one Johnson in 1909 and
carrying this fallacy on the face the
claimants by these titles cannot
plead prescription. The heirs re-
side near New Iberia.
