he will be promptly dubbed a boss.
They are not peculiar, these leaders
of the people to New Orleans, they
are all over the nation and State,
and why deny it. Take, for ex-
ample, the distinguished Senator
from Tensas, q. q. Cordlll. He is
a leader OF his district, and has
been SO for fifteen or twenty years.
They had primaries up there re-
Gently to nominate officers. He
placed his name before the people,
and there was not a single vote
against him. They do not call him
a boss. Jastremski knows all this,
but he also knows that there are
some people who have been fooled
all their lives about the New Or
leans bosses, and he wants to make
stock of it, and he stoops to words
that his career Will not bear out.
He is 1nslncere, and nothing will
sooner kill man before the peo-
pie. Nobody believes there is any
thing in the Jastremski wall of
Blanchard and the bosses. You
will soon hear the people all over
the State crying, Jastremskl and in
sincerity and inconsistency.
II want to see Judge Newton q.
nominated because his
record, covering many years and
many events, is without flaw, be-
cause he is capable, high-classed,
sincere and honest man. because he
IS a Democrat, every inch of him,

NEW RULE AT WEST POINT.
Cadets at the Military Academy May
 Smoke Pipes.
The opinion Has Prevailed That the Open Pipe ia Less Harmful
 Than the Secret Cigarette.

West Point. N Y, Sept S.-An order has been published announcing that cadets are permitted to use tobaee6 during relief from quarters" within the barrack limits It was also an- nounced that cadets would be permit ted to buy tobacco and pipes from the post store. The order came as com plete surprise to everybody at the academy except Col Mills, the com mandant It was the result of a rec ommendation made by Col. Mills to the secretary of war month or more ago. It went into effect on Saturday
 For 23 years no restriction upon the freedom of the cadets has been more irksome than the prohibition of the use of tobacco. It was impossible to en- force the rule. Smoking on the sly has been the practice of almost every cadet in the academy throughout his course Most of the smoking has been cigarette smoking. The penalty for be- ing caught smoking cigarettes or any other form of tobacco has varied with the superintendents of the academy. Under Col. Mills the penalty has been six extra hours of duty. He also re- ceiyed from five to seven demerits on his record.
 It was the opinion of the superin- tendent and of other members of the faculty that a good deal less harm would come from the free use of tobac- co in pipes than from the secret use of ciparptteS

GIGANTIC LEGAL
 BATTLE IS NOW ON
United States Government On the One Hand and the Amalgamated
 Copper Go. On the Other.
RESTITUTION IS SOUGHT FOR
 BIG TIMBER DEPREDATIONS.
The Case Has Once Been Dismissed. Hut the Action Now Taken is to Have It Reinstated withOutPreju- dice to the Status of the Prosecu- ton.

Washington, Sept. S.-A legal battle of truly gigantic proportions, and one on which the attention of the entire northwest is centered, is now waging between the United States government on the one hand and the Amalgamated Copper Co.. of Montana, on the other
 Suit recently was begun by the de- partment of justice to force this com pany, which Is built upon the Daly in- terests, to disgorge s2.000,000 alleged to have been realized out of timber depredations of vast extent in western Montana
 Technically the suit was dismissed, but preparations have been made for it's reinstatement without prejudice to the status of the prosecution.
 Hundreds of square miles of valua- ble timber land are alleged to have been devastated. In all the long list of depredations committed by timber thieves against the government, none has compared with these.i the charges made in the bill of complaint filed by the government are true.
 For years the denuding of the gov ernment property went on, and not un- til recently did it seem possible to bring those responsible to account
 While the interior department has turned the matter over to the depart ment of justice, the officials of the former department are still in close touch with the case, and they say the progress the department of justice is making is satisfactory.
 The suit against the Amalgamated Copper interests is not the only one of this kind in which the government Is interested in Montana There is also an action pending against Senator w. A. Clark, the Montana millionaire, and William Cobban, who are accused of fraudulent entry on large tracts of timber land.

Boil WeeviI May Invade Arkansas.

The question of a practical means of eXterminating the boil weavil is one that is of no little concern to Ar. kansas planters. There is now on exhibition at the agricultural bureau at the state house three boil weevils Of the kind that have played such havoc with the cotton crop in Texas. and which have recently appeared in Louisiana. Cotton men and farmers over the state are awaiting with great interest the harvesting of this years cotton crop in Texas, as they expect then, for the first time. to get a line on the amount of damage done to the crop in that state by the weevil. An idea of the seriousness of the damage done in Texas may be gained from the statement of the fact that Texas has offered a reward of S50.000 for the person who finds a method for ex- terminating the weeyil, and in addi- tion to this the state now has com mission of scientists in the field max ing experiments and trying to devise method of ridding the state of the pest. Thus far the experiments have resulted in dismal failures.

CHARGE AGAINST
 STANDARD OIL CO.
Independent Companies at Beau mont, Tex, Declare They
 Have Been Ruined.
WELLS HAVE BEEN FLOODED
 WITH A BRINY C0NCOCTION.
As Fnst As Il Company Went to the Wall, It is Alleged, It's Property Was Bought In By the Standard Oil Co.-tn InYestigntion in Prog 

St. Louis. Sept 8-A special to the St. Louis Republic from Dallas. Tex. says:
 The Fort Worth Telegram of Sunday prints most startling story concern ing the Beaumont oil field. It states that it's informant is one of the most prominent men of Fort Worth. just re- turned from Beaumont.
 This man declares that the Standard OIl Go. has caused the ruin of many of the smalled companies by injecting salt water in their wells, thus ruining the oils.
 Recently some of the leading men of the wrecked companies determined to investigate, and in two days time they raised S27 ,000 with which to push the work. The developments. it is de- elared. are simply astounding. It has been ascertained that the numerous oil wells which were apparently ruined by salt water were put in their condition by conspirators.
 As fast as a company went to the wall its property was bought in by the Standard.
 The Standard Oil Co long ago built a pipe line from Beaumont to the gulf of Mexico. A pumping station was erected at Beaumont and another at the gulf. Oil was pumped through the pipe line to the gulf, and then shipped to various parts of the world. Sudden ly many wells of independent eompa- nies had salt water in them
 The ruin of the owners is part of the history of the field. One day not long ago one of the pumping stations got out of working order, and oil pumping to the gulf had to be suspended while repairs were being made.
 Suddenly wells that had been given out fully one-half salt water began lowing n0hing but good fuel oil That put the investigation on foot
 The investigators secretly. at night, plugged up the pipe line at the Beau mont end They drove several miles into the country, dug into the ground over the pipe line. made a tapping in- to the line. and salf water gushed into the air nearly loo feet.
 It is claimed that the pressue was from the gulf pumping station, and that salt water was being pumped to Beaumont and into the wells that the eonsprators desired to wreck: that there was no pressure from the Beau mont end, because of the plugging of the pipe.
 The informant of the Telegram de- clares that a force of detectives is at work on the case.

A MORMON WOMAN SCORNED.
Mrs. Annie NJ. Bradley Makes Vi- eious Assault Upon Ex-United
 states Senator Brown.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. S.-Goad- ed to desperation, as she asserts, by in- suits heaped upon her by the man who is seeking to renounce and discard her to save himself from occupying a cell in the penitentiary, Mrs. Annie M Bradley last evening assaulted former United States Senator Arthur Brown in his office at PIP South Main street, striking him several stunning blows in the face with her umbrella and follow ing this up with her fist
 Attaches of the office soon forced the little woman to desist her attack, but not before she had disfigured her enc my to the extent of breaking several of his front teeth. No arrests were made. and every effort was made to keep the affair from becoming public property
