Ihe Local Paper.

Speaking of what newspaper does
for a community U. S. Senator DAVIS.
of Illinois, made al address that re-
mains ever green in the memories OF
newspaper men. Said he: Every
year every local paper gives from
$500 to $1,000 in free lines for the
benefit of the community in which 1t Is
located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor in proportion
to his means, does more for his town
than any other man, and IN all 1a1r-
ness. man with man, he ought to be
supported-not because you happen
to like him or admire his writings, but
because local paper is the best IN
vestment community can make. 1t
NAV not be crowded with great
thoughts but financially it is of more
benefit than both preacher and teach
err. Today editors of local papers do
more for less pay than any men on
earth. Patronize your home paper,
not as charity but as an invest
ment. Elk.

Jennings Votes for License.

The Prohibitionists were defeated
in the tenth ward last Thursday after
a hard-fought struggle, and the city
of Jennings will now have licensed
saloons. The vote in Jennings stood
% for license to IS against; and while
both the country precincts voted
against license, the vote was not
heavy enough to counterfeit the
majority in Jennings. AT Lake Ar
thur the vote stood 10 to against
license and at Raymond to 2. The
total vote of the ward was JOB for
license and u against, leaving
majority of 81 for license. So few
people had paid their poll tax that the
vote was very light.

This weeks crop bulletin has this to
say concerning rice: The weather of
the past week has broug I about a
marked improvement in TT rice crop.
Over southwest Louisiana the water
supply was insufficient for the needs of
the crop for some time prior to the re-
cent rains, and as result the crop
has suffered seriously and the crop
will be curtailed to a material extent.
The crop is best along the river where
water could be secured at all times by
pumping, and this part of the crop is
much more advanced than the south
west Louisiana crop. Some early rice
is being harvested.

Panama. Jan. 2l-The rebel gunboai
Padilla attacked the Colombian steam
err Lautaro in the harbor yesterday
morning. and after several hour L
fighting set her on fire and sunk her.
The Padilla surprised the Lautaro at
the opening OF the fight and began
shooting ut close range.
Gen. Carlos AIban, he military
commander OF this district and COVER
nor of Panama, was killed during the
fighting. HIS death is deeply deplor-
ed for Gen. Alban was loved by his
soldiers and enjoyed the esteem Of the
community. 1t is asserted that the
death of the Colombian leader may
have the effect of bringing to the gov
err meut side large numbers OF men
anxious to avenge his loss.
Many of the men aboard the govern
ment ship Lautaro were killed. Some
OF the bodies have been brought ashore
where they are being buried.
A gasoline launch has just left here

damaged.
The revolu tionary fleet consisted of
the steamers Padilla, Darien, and Gal
tan. The government ships were the
Chilean line steamer Lautaro and the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company s
steamer Chicuito. The first named
steamer was seized by Gen. Alban and
the other two have been chartered by
the Colombian government.

for the purpose of a conference.
The crew of the Philadelphia made
an effort to put ont the fire on board
the Lautaro, but deslsted when 1t was

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Made by j. ID. Butt, Referee in Bank
ruptcy- In the Case of Jno.P.
Reynolds.

Some months ago one Jno. 2. Rey-
nolds filed a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy asking that he be adjudi-
Gated bankrupt persuant to the act
of congress relating to bankruptcy.
His schedule filed with said petition
disclosed no assets of any value.
Shortly after his adjudication he like
wise filled his petition praving that
he be discharged from all his provable
debts and liabilities; day was set
for hearing and an order discharging
him was entered by the court.
Sometime after the said discharge
was granted, but within the limit
prescribed by the act for revoklng q
discharge, the creditors of the ban k
rupt discovered some evidence of
the fact that the said bankrupt had
pr ,ctIced fraud in the procurement
of his discharge, in as much as he
had such an interest in real estate in
Berkeley county as should have pass
ed to his trustee and that his failure
to list the same in his schedule was
q concealment of his true financial
condition, which constituted fraud I'M
der the bankrupt law. The creditors
of the bankrupt therefore petltioned
the court in bankruptcy praying that
as the same was not warranted by the
actual facts. The court thereupon re-
ferred the same to JAS. ID. Butts, one
of the referees of the court in bank
ruptcy, for a hearing and report.
Referee Butts has just handed down
his finding and report, which has been
approved and confirmed by Judge
Jackson, of the u. S. District Court,
IN which he decides that the interest
of the said which was a re-
mainder interest under will Deepen
dent upon the death of a life tenaLt
before the death of the sal bankrupt
was to transfer under section 10 of
the bankrupt act and if he could by
any means have transferred prior TO
the fling of his petition said interest,
he was REQUIRED to disclose the same
in this bankrupt schedule and 1T
should have passed TO his trustee in
bankruptcy Thereupon the said
bankrupt having failed to comply
with the provision of the act in that
particular. he did with fraudulent
intent conceal his true financial condl-
ton in condemnation of bankruptcy
that his discharge was obtained
through fraud and the same should he
set aside and revoked.
This is the first discharge that has
been revoked in the district under
the present bankrupt law.
Another Bankrupt.
Referee Butts has also entered an
order adjudicatlng r. d. Miller, q
merchant of Falling Waters, a
bankrupt. His liabilities are 50, 17S
