CONTRlBUTORY NEGLIGENCE.

A joint committee Of the recent
session of the Louisiana Legislature
visited the state penal farms at
Angola and Hope, for the purpose
of reporting on the work done by
the board of control. The MEM
bers Of the committee spent some
time talking with the negro con-
victs, and presently one of the
negroes recognized member Of
the committee, who is rising
young lawyer, not thousand
miles from New Iberia.
"You know Mr.. B--F in

"Yaas, sab, knows Mr.. B

how he came to send the convict

"He wuz nah lawyer, sab.

the incident did not get any furth-

BAYOU TECHE DAMNED.

Hon Jules Simon, of st. Martin,
who arrived in the city last night
and quartered at the Commercial,
brings an interesting story from
home which may have a New Or
leans end to it. ST Mariinville,
like all the rest Of the state, has
suffered severely from the drought,
and many of the smaller streams
in that neighborhood have run dry.
Those living near bayou Teche
have had plenty of water until re-
Gently, when it was discovered
that the bayou was running dry.
Though about so feet wide at st.
Martinville, aud usually having
about 8 feet of water in it, it now
has only little over foot, and three
miles above town it is dry The
people began to worry, and an ir-
rigation pump had to cease opera
tions There was an investigation,
which resulted in the discovery
that an enterprising lumberman
forty miles up the bayou had dam
med the bayou. This man is named
Zegel, and he owns quite an extern
sive saw mill plant near Port Bar
rie. This is situated in the south
ern part of st. Landry parish.
The people of ST. Martinville did
not think it right that he should
deprive them of water supply, so
last Sunday a committee of citizens
went up to Port Barrie to wait upon
Mr.. Zegel and ask him to cut his
dam. This he positively refused
to do. They returned home dis
appointed, but not daunted. 1t is
against both the federal and the
state laws to dam or obstruct a
navigable stream, so a complaint
was written and forwarded to the
secretary of war, asking him to
have the dam removed A letter
was also sent to Hon. Lee Garland,
district attorney of st. Landry
parish, requesting him to take the
proper steps.
Though Mr.. Simon came down
here on private business, he said /,
last night, that he would call on
United States District Attorney
Howe this morning and see if some
relief could not be granted his
people.
Mr.. Simon says that there are
about Is, 900 acres planted in rice
near st. Martinville, and it is a
magnificent crop. 1t has had
plenty of water from bayou Teche
until recently, and, consequently,
has thrived The people are hop
ing to secure good price for their
crop, as the crops in Vermillion
and lower Acadia have suffered
severely and a big shortage is
looked for.-Picdyune.

PROMISES OF DEAD SEA FRUIT.

Quite an animated discussion is
now going on over the question
whetherthe administrations "war'
on the trusts is bluff or not. We
do not care what it is called, but
we do know that it is Il lame and
impotent undertaking, productive
of no results. Mr.. Roosevelt's
programme is to have bills passed
by congress which insure publicity
of the proceedings aud business of
trusts, and which make combina-
ton in restraint of trade felony.
1t is announced that he will have
these bills passed by the present
congress at its next session. This
may or may not be n blnf, bnt il
there is any one thing politically
certain, it is that this congress will
do nothing of the kind. Why do
we say thisf For the simple rea-
son that the Republicans have had
control of congress for more than
five years, and they have defeated
the very measures which President
says he will have introduced. In
the Fifty-sixth congress, an effect
i've amendment to the Sherman act
embodying the very suggestion
Roosevelt now makes, passed the
house, but passed under the Mistle-
toe Bough in the senate and was
smothered in the old attic chest.
We should like to ask those who
believe in the presidents sincerity,
what good it would do to pass a
law making the formation Of trusts
a felony, when according to Law
now on the statute books it is @
penitentlary offense, and this same
president valves entirely the crimi
nal prosecution Of the trust fellows
and in ladylike manner merely
has them enjoinedf They care
about as much for an injunction as
a aailor cares for rain.

OIL STRUCK

1t is reliably reported by tele-
phone that oil in large quantities
was struck at Anse la Butte,
Parish of st. Martin, La, by the
A. Moresi's Sons Deep Well Co.,
Of Jeanerette, La, on their land.
The drill went through the rock at
5 p. M, yesterday. Where the
BODY of oil was found the depth is
about l, 100 feet.
The Moresi's have been drilling
on this and the Pioneer well for
the last fourteen months and not
withstanding all sorts Of reverses
and discouragements they persisted
and spent large sums of money.
II the we'll pans ont as it promises
it will insure a large oil supply to
New Orleans, as the distance from
the well to the Mississippi is only
40 miles. Daily States.

THE POWER OF A NEWSPAPER

The power of Il newspaper to aid
Il town is well recognized in some
communities and they show it by a
liberal support. As cases in point:
kapIan is Il small town on the
Abbeville-Ra Rayuc branch of the S
T. railroad, which has just been
started. To assist III building up
the town Il paper was felt to be Il
necessity. and so the residents
subscribed $1,000, to start one
The same thing was done ut Esther
wood, a small town near Crowley.
Crowley WAS started the same way,
and the people know that their
confidence III printer ink Is not
misplaced That is why they have
always supported their papers and
they have two splendid ones be
cause they are supported. Two
weeks ago the Crowley Signal was
organized aS Il stock company with
a capital Of $50, 900, and the Crow
lev News, which we consider one
of the brightest papers III the
country, is also backed by heavy
capital In the towns Of Breaux
Bridge the merchants showed their
hearty appreciation of their paper
by S signing an agreement to patron
ize only those wholesale houses
that give their local paper an ad-
vertisement. Such practical sup
port given to home papers is more
than repaid by the papers which
all do much and often for the mp
building Of their homes. The
people of Lafayette should like
other progressive towns remember
the many services that their papers
render the town, and on all Occa
sions, give their home papers their
hearty support, financially and
otherwise. e.-Lafnyette Advertiser.

There is every reason to believe
that the Philippine friar lands
question will be precipitated into
the coming campaign by the insis-
tence Of the American Mission at
Rome that the Vatican order the
withdrawal Of all Spanish friars
and monks from their parishes.
Governor Taft appreciated the ef-
feet which the attitude of the Ad-
ministration toward the friars
would have upon the Catholics in
this country, for in report to the
Secretary Of War he deprecated the
political interest in the controversy.
at is unfortunate" he said,
"that the public should clothe the

with political significance, when it
ought not to have and does not

HUNDRED NILES A DAY.

New York, July 2O.-The Abiel
Abbott Low, thirty eight foot
launch equipped with a Kerosene oil
engine and in which Capt. Henry
Newman, n well known New Eng
land boatman, accompanied by his
sixteen year-old son, sailed from
College Point, l.. l., on July 9 on
a three thousand mile voyage to
Falmouth, Eng, was reported hav-
ing been spoken by the French
bark Tourville from Nantes and
the American liner st. Louis from
Southampton and Cherbourg, which
arrived here today. The little boat
exchanged colors with the big liner
on July Is in latitude 4l.34 north,
longitude 55. .35 west. The two oc-
cupants seemed to be in the best of
spirits and waved their caps to the
officers and passengers Of the st.
Louis. Capt. Newman, before
sailing from this side, said he ex-
pected to reach England in less
than thirty days. In the nine days
he had been to sea when sighted
by the st. Louis, she had covered
approximately distance of S75
miles-almost hundred miles a
day-at which rate she would reach
her destination, if no mishaps be-
fall her, in q months time.
