Gently elected city judge by the new

The Times-D Democrat has just lost
"a libel suit in the State Supreme
Court for publishing a police report
concerning the aggrieved individual.
1t is now in order for Col. T.Sambola

Advocate, and president-elect Of the
Louisiana. Press Association, to sue
the Picayune for SANDER or compel
the retraction of the horrid wood cut
caricature it published last Wednes-

Evidently the Italians by their
harsh treatment of the officers Of the

for drunkenness in Venice, intend to
get even with the United States for
the various lynchings of Italian SUBJ

1t is lamentable that so much
scandal should result from the en-
ployment of incompetent engineers in
the municipal work now in progress
in different cities in this State. New
Orleans has had a very costly expert
enee in that direction and now Baton
Rouge is being plagued. Political
favoritism is no doubt the seat of the
evil.

Who Participated.
Webster celebrated for two days
and if those two days were not thor

no fault of Webster or her people.

letter and nothing was advertised

morning of the sixth.
The FIRST thing was the firing of
the morning salute, andthatthe COM
mittee who had this in charge were

every resident of every quarter of
the city and some of the surround
ing country.
Large crowds came on all trains
and the throngs of wagons and car

brate.
The business men mad all shown
their enterprise by deliberately dec

SEARCHING FOR A CUTTER.

 Insult 10 His Wife.

 Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy. accompanied by Miss Efiiie Schemer, were return ing home from the theater. when they came upon quartet of well-dressed young men, Sunday night. They were passing quietly when one of the quar- tet stepped out and addressed Mrs. Kennedy. The latters husband promptly knocked the offender down and proceeded to the elevated station. Meanwhile the young man, suffering from humiliation, gave chase and caught up with the giver of the blow at the elevated station. Kennedy was paying fares for his party when his pursuer drew knife and plunged it into his back. Kennedy turned only to receive a second blow in the ab- domen. The assailant then fled, and Kennedy was taken to the hospital. Miss Schemer gave the police an eX- cellent description of the man, and is assisting in the search.

Decision on Iinunr Act.

In the case of John R. Ferguson ct a. vs. Josey & Ward, there arose in the supreme court an interesting question as to the right of officers to seize and destroy liquor brought into prohibi- tion districts contrary to law. Fer guson, as sheriff of Hampstead county, acting on the warrant of the mayor of Hope, seized certain liquors which were the property of Josey & Ward, they having been previously arrested on warrant from the mayor. The act of February 13, 1899, authorizes proper authorities to issue search warrants for the seizure and confiscation of liquors brought into prohibition dis tricts to be sold The appellees, Josey & Ward, insisted that so much of this act as provided for search was uncon- stitutional.
 The supreme court held that since the evidence showed that the liquors were illegally kept for sale in the pro hibition district the seizure of and de stTuetion of the goods was perfectly legal. and that the plaintiff could not recover.
