TO ESCAPE DISGRACE
Reason Why French Deputy Syveton
Committed Suicide.

Reason Why French Deputy Syveton
Committed Suicide.
Paris, Dec. 16.-The circumstances
attending the death of Deputy Gabriel
Syveton, who was found dead from
asphyxiatlon in his apartments at
Neuilly Dec 8, are developing into a
domestic tragedy of startling magni-
tude.
Although the authorities refuse to
speak pending their investigation,
many sensational features have al
ready come to light. 1t is established
that The wife of M. Syveton was about
to apply for divorce on the grounds
of improper relations between M. Sy-
veton and Madame Menard, daugh-
ter Of Madame Syveton by former
husband
Both NJ. Menard and Madame Syve-
ton had accused the deputy of these
relations and a family council took
place shortly before M. Syveton's
death, at which violent scenes were
enacted, NJ. Menard declaring that it
was the duty of the deputy to put a
bullet through his head.
This was the eve Of M. Syveton's
trial for assaulting War Minister An
Dire in the chamber of deputies Nov. 4.
The deputy foresaw the public dis
closure of his relations with his wife's
daughter and thereupon committed
suicide for the purpose of avoiding the
disclosure.

Taken to Hospital.

A. A. Baker of Roswell was Ia
ken to st. Alphonsus hospital at
Boise Tuesday morning. About
two weeks ago Mr.. Baker was
overcome by the heat and his
condition was further compli-
Gated by typhoid. The typhoid
yielded to treatment, but the ex-
trelnely warm weather prevailing
lately aggravated his condition,
resulting in temporary fits OF
mental alteration, necessitating
taking him to the hospital. Re-
ports this morning show him to
be much improved, and it is ex-
pected that he will be able to be
out in a few days. His father,
L. IL. Baker, who has been no
titled Of his illness, arrived last
night from Illinois, and is here
today.

said Cheef photographers Newell Of the

in the way Of growth and development
that II opens up for this section ar,
almost beyond comprehension.
"The government Is willing to NEE
YOU half way on any proposition" sal,
Mr. Newell
1T is up to you.' What are you go
ing to do about IL? An organization
committee has been selected and certain
steps have been taken, but there is
feeling that the project should be mor'
theoretically pushed 1t il true thai
there are many complications TO b
Strengthened out and progress mus
necessarily be slow, but it II the univer
sal wish that the work be carried aon,
as rapidly as conditions will admit
The magnitude Of the interests involved
and the benefits to be derived are 4,
great that success should not b
ieopardized by inaction. Perhaps tn
gentlemen Of the committee are pro
cceding as rapidly MS possible. The,
certainly have done great deal Of worl
and may have accomplished more thar
appears on the surface.
Over in Malheur county, Oregon, re
clamation movement was taken up tire
weeks ago, and the people have alrcad,
adopted and filed their articles Of incor
pontion and bylaws and have signe,
up 10000 acres Of land, leaving but 8,
600 TO be secured. They seem TO b
making better Roadway on the othe
side OF the line than in this valley.

Those who are in fear of a great
increase in the cotton crop in the
South, are doubtless unduly alarmed.
The facts are that the South has not
the labor to greatly increase the cotton
yield, and each year the labor problem
grows nor complicated. It is not
because Of the scarcity Of negroes,
upon whomis relied for the cotton cul.
ture and harvest, but because the
negro every year lie becoming less in
clined to do his best ia the fields.
old men who can call to memory the
untility Of the negro in the days Of
slavery and compare it with that OF
the present day, agrees that in pro.
portion to the numbers, less than half
the amount is produced now that
seemed easily obtained under the old
system. The negro is passing OF the
stage as 3 willing %tOilsr, and the South
Is beginning to seriously look about
for some other class Of labor rather
than to see the rich land 20 back 10
their native grasses.

The old pie-eaters under Cleveland
are fairly straining themselves tc
work up sentiment for the Democratic
nomination. In the South Hoke Smith
lie the director Of the boom and the
smaller fry are quick to second his
every move. The Southerner who
has the Cleveland fever now, ought to
out of it, unless, of course, a job
is all he hopes for in the event Of a
Democratic victory.
Okolona messenger. (Okolona, Miss.) 1900-current, 1904-03-30

The Northerners have not half the
affection for the negro that the South
rns has. The misery and degreda-
ton Of the negroes In the Northern
states has hithertofOre only appealed
to the well-tO-do and charitable, and
while they have given them the bal
lot, they are indifferent to their ex-
clusiOn from trades unions and other
employments to which they could
have access, as they do here in the
South. How truly does the negro
question prove that this country above
ell others is one Of contrasts and In.
constituencies.
