10 the Baton Rouge Truth
A prophet is said to be not with
out honor save in his own country.
| know not whether the .pcople of
my native city, Eaton Rouge are
more generous than most, or
whether ! .iam.."no prophet" hence
the rule does not apply; but l do
know that your tribute of praise
to me, was truly gratifying as an
expression of appreciation from
"mine own people" That there
were some errors in the statement

Of affectionate praise that brings
the grateful tear to the eye even as
Moses called water from the rock.
Modesty prevents me from repro
ducing your article in my own

you have inscribed: "a Noble Lit e

nine years, and as a matter of fact
has been more poorly done than
usual during the past few months.
But knowing the circumstances, my
patrons have been wonderfully con-
siderate and kind. The task before
me is really more stupendous than
the one that you, dear Truth, iudi-
Gated, the mere provision of "a
generous $ustenance" for my chill

probation no task is too difficult.

praise is sweet indeed.

HUMAN LIFE TO CHEAP.

Commenting on a remark that
the cheapest thing in this country
was human life, and that it would
never be worth anything till a
change was brought about, Il. II.
Truth has the following to say;
"Good and true men, Christian
men, arc in a large majority in this
parish, as we'll as every parish in
the State, and if they once decide
that willfnl killings shall stop, life
will he worth more than at present.
Let the better people quit going oil
bords and creating sympathy for
criminals, and change will soon
come, but the duty of impreSsing
upon the minds of our people the
decree of the Almighty issued upon
Mount Sinai "I'hOu shalt not Kill, y
falls chiefly upon the pulpit, while
the suppression of practices which
lead to the escape of the guilty is
the duty of the press, Let tie pull
pit and the press inaugurate a Wig
Oroas campaign against crime; let
them thunder anathemas against
those who interfere with the work
ings of courts of justice; let them
resolve that this South of ours shall

BISHOP GALLOWAY'S
LECTURE,

The lecture and supper, under
the auspices Of the Methodist con.
gregalion, Friday night, Tor the
benefit Of their church, WAS q sue.
ocssful and pleasing affair. The
attendance wastfairly good, and so
pleased were the auditors with the
Bishops lecture that it mag safely
be predicted that should the lecture
he repeated, or tho reverend lec-
turer come here again there would
he many more to lear him. OF
course, the Rev Chaa i. Galloway's
reputation as all eloquent pulpit
orator and successful lecturer had
preceded him, but it was not even
guessed that lie could make of 40
worn theme as japan SO bright,
original and amusing a lecture.
The Bishop has a=.decided gift
of humor, and the whole lecture
was irradlated by the light of his
quick and ready fancy. This was
the first time 4he Bishop had even
been here and lie expressed himse f
as much pleased with the place
and people.

ffeshnents at an early hour, and

A FAIR FOR WEST FELL
CIANA.

The Democratic Record of Jack
son thinks Clinton too far away to
b. the only town for fair, and
recommends that contiguous porti-
OILS of East and West Feliciana and
East Baton Rouge unite to have a
fair. The section mentioned, especi-
ally West Feliciana needs al annual
fair, but the rivalry that would en-
sue among the towns to become the
scene of the fair would prove fatal
to the enterprise in its very incipi-
ency. Once upon a time, fer instance
West Feliciana yas resolved upon
erecting a cotton mill. 1t had gone
so far that leading men had gotten
together and agreed upon certain
preliminary arrangements. But
when it came to a question, Of the
site they stuck. Each man had good
reasons for the locality of his choice,
and not one would give up. The
result Was-nOWhere.
So, one trembles to think of the
IogOmachy that would ensue should
not only Bayou Sara and St Fran
cisville but Jackson and Wilson
and perhaps Lindsey, Ethel and
Norwood become rival claimants for
a fair! lis true, lis pity, ami pity
It's, It's true. Such pitfalls lie in
the way of many a worthy enter
prise.
But certain ii is that West FeIici-
ana should have a fair, and since no
mere question of site in'ervenes to
prove an insurmountable obstacle,
W having fair grounds already,
then We should not, as progressive
allow anything else to pre-
vent its inception. Let every one
begin to talk it up, SO that by next
fall, a fair will be an accomplished
fact.

ASK RECEIVER FOR A FARM.
Old Story Of Aged People Deciding
Farm To Children.
ARGUED IN SUPREME COURT.

Topeka, Nov. 1.-THE supreme court
was asked to appoint a receiver for
farm in Harper county. This is an
unusual proceeding, as receivers are
almost always appointed by district
courts. William and Mary Reimer.
two old people of Harper county. be-
came feeble, and told their daughter.
Emma Myers. that if she and her hus-
band would come from Illinois and live
with them during the rest of their lives
they would give them (the Myers
their farm. The Myers came and in
due time induced the old folks to deed
the farm to them. Shortly afterwards
they refused to live longer with the
Reimers. This left the old people
without farm or home. They brought
suit in the district court against the
Myers to cancel the deed to the prop
erty. The jury returned verdict
declaring the conveyance void. The
Myers appealed the case to the SUI
preme court and asked for receiver
to take charge and manage the farm
while the case was pending. The mo-
ton for receiver was argued and the
court took the matter under advise
ment.

thanksgiving proclamation thus:
Once more our annual harvests have
been gathered, in some respects, the
most bountiful the state has ever pro-
duced. Prices for the products of our
farms, mines and workshops have been
satisfactory. Our bank deposits have
shown large gain. Our population is
increasing. There has been a satisfac-
tory growth in attendance in our uni
versities, colleges, academies and COM
mon schools. Nearly half million
dollars have been set apart for the
erection of new school buildings. New
homes are springing up all over the
state. Churches and Sunday schools
are in flourishing condition. The peo-
pie are interested as never before in
the cause of benevolence and charity

ROBBlNG FARMERS ENROUTE.

b Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 9.-One
man was killed, three others danger
ously wounded and twenty-six desper-
ate convicts are at large as the result
of mutiny at the site OF the new Uni
ted States prison, where 400 prisoners
from the federal. prison, in charge of
thirty armed guards, were at work.
When the trouble began the rebel
lious prisoners had only two revolvers.
These revolvers had been secreted in
one of the walls of the building.
Gus Parker, of Ardmore. l. T, one of
the ringleaders of the mutiny, under
pretense of a necessity, walked to the
corner of the stockade, where the re-
volvers were concealed and under cover
of some weeds secured them without
being detected. He returned to the
gang and passed one of the revolvers to
Frank Thompson, negro from South
McAlester, l. T., who secreted it about
his person.
Arthur Trelford, an armed guard,
who is in charge of all the convicts,
resisted the convicts and was shot twice
but not dangerously wounded. C. E.
Burrows was shot twice in the neck, re-
ceiving serious wounds. Burrows was
twice chief of police of Wichita. An
drew Leonard, guard, is in the hos
pital with broken leg. He was hurt
as the prisoners were escaping through
the main entrance of the stockade.
]. P. Waldrupe a guard, shot and
killed Ford Quinn, from Ryan, 1. T.
The prisoners then made grand rush
for the main entrance and tNenty-six
of them succeeded in escaping Most
of the escaped men are from Indian
Territory.
The men went in the direction of
Easton, Kansas, and it is reported that
they have held up many farmers, taking
horses and clothes en- route
Forty armed guards from the federal
prison are in pursuit of the fugitives.
