Lafayette Indignant.

In Mondays Times Democrat
appears the story of an adventurer
named Seipel who is reported to
have "worked' the people of New
Iberia, Opelousas and Lafayette
to perfection. The writer of this
extraordinary story says that Sci
pei was thought to be a very
wealthy man and that he practic-
ed deception upon a number of
citizens of this town. Mr.. Thos.
Fl. Isacks, of Opelousas, is given
as authority for the story. The
people of Lafayette know nothing
of Seipel and his dupes. The
story is ridiculously untrue as far
as Lafayette is concerned. Either
Mr.. Isacks or the T. ID reporter

: Not Right.

The war department has pnr-
chased for Puerto Rico since the
disastrous storm that swept over
the island as much as 10000, 600
pounds of rice. Nearly the whole
of this large amount was of foreign
growth, mostly from India and

Why was not domestic rice, miiled

sent the needy am. now greatly dis

the exc ,se given. This rice was
bought il bond and thus the duty
saved. But had the foreign rice
come into this country, as it surely
would have done, to supply the

exports, the government would have
received the duty. So that the saw

Red Rice.

The rice planters and millers OF
Southwest Louisiana are having
some trouble with the crop of this
session. For some unaccountable
eason considerable percentage
of it is red. This is not the first sea.
son that red grains have appeared
among the white, to be sure, but
never before has the proportion
been so large.An examination by
chemists has shown that the red
rice is equally as nutritious as the
white. The value of the article as
a matter of food is not in the least
injured by the red grains. But
the fact remains that the colored
grains injure the sale of the rice
they appear in. There is a move
ment on foot among the millers
looking to the removal of the pre-
judice against red rice on the part
of the consumers, but it may be
doubted that it will be attended
speedily with gratifying results.
1t is very hard to remove pre-

The Execution will take

Gov. Foster Orders the Hang

The two negroes, Charley Brown
and John Green who were to have
been ha nged with Ruben Cately

were granted a respite by Cover
nor Foster, will be hanged on Fri
day May 4, from the same gallows
as the two latter men. The order
for the execution was received on
Monday last at the Sheriff's Office,
or, to be more correct, the news
was given out on that day.
The Sheriff's Office officials are
very reticent, and do not seems to
wish to discuss the matter, and
the only information which can
be gained, is that the execution
will take place on the day already
stated.

Unstamped Deeds.

The Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue has received a number OF
inquiries from registers of deeds,
clerks of courts of record and
others, asking whether they'would
be justified in recording deeds,
which are sent to them unstamp-
ed. They represent that deeds are
often received from parties who
cannot conveniently procure
stamps, asking that they be aflix-
ed by the recorder. The commits
sioner answers in the negative,
and in his reply states that the
grantor, or person who makes or
issues the instrument, should affix
and cancel the stamp. If he omits
to do SO he incurs a penalty OF
not more than 800. If, however,
the omission is inadvertent, he
may present the instrument to
the collector within reasonable
time from the date Of its issue, pay
the stamp tax, and the collector
may then affix and cancel the
stamp. remitting the penalty. The
grantee may also pay the stamp
tax and present the instrument
for post stamping. The commits
sioner advises that when an un-
stamped instrument for record be
received it be retured to sender to
be stamped, charging for postage
and time occupied in the cores

omission Of the stamp.
