TWO DAYS OF CITY COURT.
There Were an Unusually Large Number Of
Criminal Cases on the Docket.

The adjourned quartely term
of the city court, which was con-
vened Tuesday morning with Judge
Parks presiding, lasted through two
days, and a considerable number of
cases, both criminal and civil, were
gotten off the dockets.
In the criminal branch of the court
"a cases were disposed of. Twenty-Five
of them were against negroes for gamb-
ling, all of whom pleaded guilty.
The criminal case in which thee
was more general interest than any
other was that of Charles Wilkinson,
the white man who was prosecuted
some weeks ago charged with whip
ping and robbing negro. He entered
plea of guilty to assault and battery
and carrying concealed weapons, ana
a sentence of twelve months in the
chaingang or 800 and cost was impos-
ed for the first named offense, and six
months or $50 for the latter. Two
other accusations against him for mi
nor offenses were nolprosed. The
charge of hig hway robbery which is a
state offense, is still against him, and.
he will be tried on it in the superior
court after the city court sentences
have been satisfied.
Wilkinson has not yet been able to
pay the fines, and will doubtless serve
the time in the gang.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR A
SUCCESSFUL TERM.
The Attendance Unusually Large

Corps of Teachers.

The Dawson public schools opened
Monday morning for the fall term OF
the new school year. The number OF

was 228, one of the largest initial at
tendance since the schools were or
ganiZed, and the number will steadily
increase until the three hundred mark

with II pupils.
Professor j. r. Hankins, the able

advanced grades will have the benefit
to be derived from q much higher
course of study than heretofore.
The high standard OF Dawson S

Sir return to you here enclosed
an invitation from the city of Chicago

verSary of the battle of Manila, which,
l take for granted, has been sent to
me by mistake, is it is the first dis
courtesy 1 nave met with since l am

1T is impossible for me to believe
that you have advisedly asked me, the
representative of Spain, to go to your
city, and rejoice with you on the de-
struction Of the Spanish ships nj Of
the death of so many brave soldiers
my compatriots. That would have
been simply an insult, and, as l do not

1 say, that all this is the result Of ar
error.

Very respectfully yours,

New Orleans, April 14-The state
campaign virtually closed tonight by
rival mass meetings. The democrats
had a great rally at Elk Place, present
ing three dozen speakers from four
platforms. The Caffery republican
wing held a smaller meeting at the
head of Canal street, clubbing it an in
dignation meeting to protest against
election frauds, which they fear will be
committed. The democrats have offer
ed them watchers to witness the vote
and count all over the state, but they
wan the commissioners or nothing.
In the city h commissioner for the
republican side had been accorded to
the Wimberley wing, the democrats
holding that it Is the republican party
recognized by the national republican
committee. Most of the parishes or
have ruled likewise, thoug
some have given the ordered commits
Sioner to the Caffery element.
The campaign has been made very
bitter by the Caffery combine Of which
Senator Caffery's son is the candidate
Tor governor, the senator joining in
arra1gn1ng democratic methods of
election n attacking the one man
power exercised by Governor Foster.
The latter was with difficulty dissuad-
ed from calling Senator Caffery to per-
sonal account, it being deemed a bad
precedent for h governor to engage
in a personal quarrel. In some parts
of the state Caffery speakers have ID
pealed to arms. The outlook, however
Is for a quiet election, with the vote
much lighter than usual.
