TEMPERS JUSTICE
With Mercy Where Those Guilty Of
Crime Demonstrate Their Re-
pentanCe and Show Dis
position to Lead Bet
ter Lives.

The session of the district court
Wednesday afternoon was mostly
devoted to the taking of evidence
in the trial Of Boot Miller upon an
indictment charging him with as,
sault to kill in having fred four
shots from rifle at Jacob Nadine
on July 18th last. The testimony
was conflicting, most of the settlers
in the Big Creek country where
the alleged crime occurred taking
sides one way or another. The
trial was bitterly contested by
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Huckleberry for the prosecution
and Attorney J. B. Turner for the
defense. The evidence was con.
cluded when court adjourned for
the day and the arguments Of at
torneys consumed most of the
morning session. After a lengthy
and lucid charge by Judge Gill the
jury retired just before noon and
had not reached verdict at the
hour Of going to press.
George Habish entered plea of
not guilty to charge of larceny
and embezzlement and his trial
was deferred to some day to be set.
Andrew Alberta charged with
larceny and Ed Harding, charged
with assault to kill pleaded not
guilty and their trials were set for
the 18th.
Henry Long, upon confessing
himself guilty to four charges Of
introducing and selling liquor was
sentenced to two years imprison-
ment in the Columbus, Ohio, pen
itentiary and to pay fine of 500
in each case, the terms of impris-
onment are to run concurrently.
Will Ross, woe-be-gone look
ing chap of uncertain age and,
from appearance, degenerate
who has never had an opportunity
to better his condition, was sent to
Columbus for one year upon plead
ing guilty to three charges of hav-
ing sold liquor.
E. F. Lonsdale, charged with |
the theft Of coal entered a plea of
not guilty and W. M. MelIette was
appointed by the court to defend
him.
At the afternoon session the
cases of F. G. Hinckley and N. C.
Hines for removing mortgaged
and three charges against
for dispOsing of mort
gagged property were transferred to
Wewoka for trial.
Eugene Hall, a young man
charged with introducing liquor
was sentenced to serve two years
In the Ohio penitentiary and to
pay a fine Of 500 upon his plea of
guilty.
Toney Laney, a Greek Indian
pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to serve 80 days in the
all at Muskogee and to pay the
'osss and q fine Of SIS. |

OAK TREES FOR SHADE.

The freeze of winter before last,
and the storm OF last month have
almost finished the china trees that
border our side walks. Some of them
are in such dilapidsted condition,
that nothing remains but the trunk
aud the siumps of the larger limbo.
In this condition they afford no shade
aud are by no means aud object OF
beauty. The late Judge F. f. Mont
gomery used TO suggest quite frequent.
Is that oak trees should be planted
alongside the streets instead Of chinas.
His suggestion, though az excellent
one. has never been taken, and we
take this opportunity to make use OF
il. If the town authorities shonld
plant oak trees along the streets In
stead OF chiDas, in five years from
now we would have beautiful line
of shade trees. which would last for
generations, and which would stand
the freezes and the storms much bel
Ter than the brittle china trees. The
oak is a much prettier tree and would
add a great deal 10 the looks Of the
town

VOTING ON DINfNG CARS.

The Pennsylvania Railroad COM
pany is endeayoring 10 ascertain which
plan of operating Dining Cars is
most satisfactory TO the travelling pub
lie; whether the old one dollar per
meal plan or the more modern Cafe
or A La Carte plan, by having the
patrons of it's Dining Cars, which
are now operated on The old plan, ex-
press their preferences by ballot.
Several persons who recently Wis.
tied Philadelphia, travelling via The
Queen 81 Crescent Ronie which has an
excellent Cafe Dining Car System,

that q majority of the votes cast will
IN due time be found to be in favor OF
the A la Carte plan.

The steamer Valley Queen has gone
ito the bank "for the want of enough
of business from the merchants of
New Orleans to pay expenses" The
New Orleans merchants certainly can
not give any boat the business ifthey
do not receive ii which they are not
doing. This is pretty rough on New
Orleans, TO think that its wholesale
houses are not receiving enough OF
business from the merchants and plan
tiers along the river for a distance OF
over five hundred miles to sup
port one boat week.

In this issue appears The law card
of Judge j. NJ. Kennedy, who returns
TO his practice in Lake Providence
after being on the bench of the Court
of Appeals for the last eight years.
Judge Kennedy needs no mention at
our hands His reputation as one OF
the leading lawyers of North Louis
iaua is sufficient recommendation, and
his old clients will doubtless welcome
him back TO the bar of Providence
where for years he was its leading
light and had no superior.

The 4th of July generally sees the
planters finished up with their crops
laid by and only waiting for the bolls
TO begin popping open and getting
ready to get into the patch. This 4th
Of July found them in a terrible fix,
with their entire fields over run with
grass aud weeds, and the forms and
leaves dropping off from the excessive
rains of last month. This week has
been clear aud hot, and just the kind
of weather to kill grass. Every one
has been hard at work, from early
morn 10 as late as one could see, and
there is no doubt that large amount
of work has been accomplished. With
another week of good weather the
crops will look much better.

A business league conducted prop
erly and on business principles, CON-
posed of the business men of our town
would do much good towards bring
ing trade and business to the place.
Other towns not any larger than
Providence have their business leagues
and much good comes from them.
One merchant should consider that
another merchant has as much right
10 do business as he has, and that COM
petition is the life of trade, but If o
concerted action was made on the
part of the merchants and business
men 10 work for one end-to pull
trade to their towD-it would soon be
found that their trade had commenced
TO increase.
There is no doubt that euch an or
ganzaiion as business league, prop
erly conducted, would prove great
factor in the up-building of our town,
aud now that the building of the LAX .
Providence and Western railroad has
actually begun there is more need OF
such an organization than ever. Let
the merchants organize, all pull to-
gether, and moi throw damper on
any enterprise, it makes no difference
what it is or by whom started. 1t II
tends to put something new in your
town, you will certainly gel some OF
the benefits to accrue from it. Organ
ize your business league aud let US
pull together for the upbuilding OF
old Providence.
