Proven A Success.

Of Col. Parker, and his associates,
under the careful and intelligent
supervision of Gov. Heard.
The constitution adopted in 1898
provides that after the expiration of
the leases then in force no convicts
should be hired out to private con-
tractors. The board of peniten-
t1ary commissioners bought lands
and erected buildings for the hous-
ing of those convicts who could be
employed outside the prison walls,
and many of the able bodied Pri-
soners were set to work raising cot
ton, as we'll as corn and other food
crops, and caring for cattle and
hogs, all of the results of their
labor to be applied to the support
of the penal institution and their
inmates. The 1900 Legislature ap.
propriated 100000 for the work
ing out of the new plan, and the
report of the first years operations
is now made public.
From the two plantations which
were established the total cash in.
come for the first year is $500
Besides this ready money the board
has several thousand tons of hay,
40, 900 bushels of corn, and enough
peas and potatoes to carry men and
stock through the next crop year.
One of the farms has a steam saw
mill, which is run by the convicts.
Some of the men are employed in
building levees, and others who are
unable to perform such active labor
are busted with light work in the
prison at Baton Rouge. The good
effect of the system upon the health
of the prisoners themselves is shown
by the fact that the mortality
among Louisiana convicts has been
reduced one half.

HI tuIS PSISOO Oh almost uOIVeVSoI
Industrial activity aud while the
eyes of capital are searching the
globe tor promising fields in which
TO make investments, it is we'll to
call attention to the encouragement
which LOUISIANA gives to capital
in manufactures. Article
a3o of the Constitution of 1903 pro-
vides as follows: ''There shall also
be exemp, from parochial and
taxation for period of
ten years from the first day of JAN
uary,-I9oo, the capital, machinery
and other property employ ed in
mining operations, and in the manu-
facture of textile fabrics, yarn,
rope, cordage, leather, shoes, har-
ness, saddlery, hats, clothing. -four.
machinery, articles of tin, copper
and sheet iron, agricultural imple-
men,s and furniture and other artic-
les of wood, marble or stone; soap,
stationery, ink and paper, boat
building ana fertilizers and chemi-
Gals; provided that not less than five
hands be employed in any one fac
tory" In the same section is a
paragraph which exempts from taxa
ton ''for period of ten years from
date Of Its completion any railroad
here after be constructed and COM
plettd prior to January 1st. 1904. .
1t will be observed from the
above quotations from the organic
law of the State that Louisiana ex-
tends a welcome more cordial tina n
could be expressed in even the
most eloquent language to those
who would invest their capital in
the development of her superb re-
sources. This exemption from
municipal and parish taxation for
a period of ten years is a PROPOSE
ton that ought to appeal in favor
of New Orleans with telling force
and power. In order to appreciate
just what this means, it is we'll to
consider that under present condi-
tions with our extensive public i'm
provements now in progress the rate
of municipal taxation in New Or
leans is g mills ON the dollar. This
exemption for a period of ten years,
it will be seen, is therefore equiva-
lent to a cash bonus of a3 per cent
of the value to be disseminated
abroad in order that the vast locked
up capital in all portions of the
country may be able to see what a
rich .strick may be made in New
Orleans during the next few years.
Not only has nature furnished the
most unexampled resources here,
but progressive people have sup
plemented these natural advantages
by the most liberal inducements in
the way Of exemptions. A 23 per
cent bonus on investments Is New
Orleans invitation to capital.

HANNA HAS LOST HOPE
Ohio Senator Will Make No Fur.
ther Effort to Settle the
Great Coal Strike.

Buffalo, y. Y, Aug. Ex-senator Han
ma arrived in Buffalo today from Mia
CARA Falls, accompanied by his daugh-
ter, Miss Ruth Hanna. and her friend,
Miss Phelps of Cleveland. They were
on their way home to Cleveland from
Niagara Falls. After a drive around
the city, they went to Cleveland to-
night on the boat For the first time.
Senator Hanna stated his abandonment
finally of all efforts TO end the coal
strike. He believes that the operators
should meet the miners in arbitration
II have exhausted my efforts, said
Senator Hanna Il have done all in
my power and can do no more. l will
make no further attempts. for it would
be useless"
He said there was no chance of arbi-
tration so long as only one side, the
miners, was willing TO arbitrate. He
gave it as his opinion that the miners
will not give in SO long as they are
able to fight
1T will be long fight said he. 1T
will be prolonged and such prolonga-
ton will mean not only hardships for
the miners and the women and chill
dren dependent on them, but it will
have it's effect on the American people
The longer the struggle continues the
greater will be the increase in the price
of COAL
He said he considered the refusal of
the operators to arbitrate as final. Il
talked with Mr.. Morgan before he went
to Europe" continued the senator, land
before the strike was fully under way
He deplored the situation, but would
take no actual part toward a settle
ment. His attitude. in my opinion
is UNCHANGED"

JUDGE WADE ROBBED
Dastardly Deed of Outlawry in a
 Mountain Mining Camp.

Dick Hall came down from Wicken- burg last night, bringing with him the story of the robbery of Judge Wade at his station nine miles east of Wicken- burg on the road to Gilbert. MT. Wade is 93 years old and lives alone. While he was asleep in his cabin Thursday night some one entered it and without waking him carried away his writing desk containing about $500 in checks and money and some valuable papers. The papers are really of greater value to hi mthan the money, for they are deeds to valuable mining property. and have never been recorded. together with documents of value to himself or others.
 While there were no witnesses to the incident so far as known. suspicion ests on certain parties who will most likely be held to answer for the out rage. Judge Wade is highly respected by all who know him. and he was for many years justice of the peace in the Black Rock district where he resides.
 Should the outlaws be apprehended TO penalty could be too severe for such a crime against a man of his charac- ter, his advanced age and his helpless condition
