Fed on Rice.

Felix Laurents butchered a nice fat
shoat last week that weighed 800
pounds at eight months old. It had
been fed on rice polish, of course, and
is unimpeachable evidence that it will
pay farmers to raise more hogs. Rice
marketed in the form of fat porkers
will bring better returns than when
sold in the rough. The most success
full farmers are those who drive their
grain to market instead of hauling it.
and this will prove equally true
throughout the rice belt of Louisiana
as it has in the corn section of the
north. Feed rice instead of selling il
in the rough and feed straw instead al
burning it and the prospects of South
west Louisiana will soon brighten

WRECK IN CHICAGO
ACCIDENT ON LAKE SHORE AND
MICHIGAN SOUTHERN.
Twelve Persons Injured, Several
Fatally-Enginemen at Their Posts
Taken from the Debris UncOn-
scious, and Engineer May Die.

A passenger train OH the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern Railroad was
wrecked Saturday afternoon at the cross
ing of the track at Root Street, Chicago.
Accounts of the cause of the accident
differ, some of the railroad people claim
ing that the train ran into an open
switch, and others saying that the loco
motive jumped the track because Of a
broken fange.
Twelve persons were injured, and soy
eral Of them may die.
The train was going at a high rate of
speed to make up lost time. The tracks
are elevated and the accident happened
just before the train reached the yiaduct
crossing over Root Street.
The engine left the track, but the fore
part Of the tender struck the end of the
viaduct railing and was torn to pieces.
The engine plunged to the far side of the
yiaduct, where a rail torn from its fast
'enings rose on end and transfNed the
rear of the engine cab and fore part Of
the baggage car. 1t held the wreckage so
closely that several hours work with cold
chisels was necessary before the wreck
age Of the car could be removed. The
four cars next behind the baggage car
were piled in heap at the north end
of the viaduct, and all of them badly
smashed.
An overturned stove in the rear coach
set fire to the wreckage, but it was eX-
tinguished by the fire department before
it had gained much Roadway.
The engineer and fireman remained at
their posts until the last, and both men
were pulled out from the debris uncon-

NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSEO FORM.
Cowardly Murder at Sidney-Frank
Wiser, Union Pacific Night Watch
man, Done to Death by Tramps-
Other Nebraska News.

Frank Wiser, the Union Pacific night
Waterman at Sidney, was murdered
there Saturday night by some unidentified
tramps. Wiser's duty was to keep tramps
off the trains and to keep guard over the
large amount of storage coal which Is
constantly kept by the railroad company,
also to see that there were no fires near
the stock yards.
Saturday night a tramp came up to the
rOundhOuse and stated to an emplOye
named Pantenburg that the Union Pa
citic Waterman was having 4 fight down
by the stock yards and was getting the
worst of it. Pantenburg informed the
night foreman of the shops, but he failed
to inform the authorities until some time
later. Wiser failed to show up for the
passenger trains and Il search was lnst-
tuted, but owing to the darkness moth
ing could be found Of him.
Sunday morning his dead body was
found about $50 yards northeast of the
stock yards. His entire left side had
been crushed in and large black and
blue mark encircled his entire body, an ev-
idence that he had either been kicked or
some heavy instrument used. There We're
only few scratches about the face. All
the tramps about the town We're imme-
diately arrested, but no positive clue
has yet been discovered. Should the muir
derers be apprehended a necktie party
might be the result
Wiser was an old-time cowboy in the
employ of Keith & Barton and John
Bratt, of Lincoln County. He was about
63years oldand leaves q wife and two

County Attorney Mark Spanogle read

ers were asked how they pleaded. All re-
sponded ''Guilty' with the understand
ing that the county would accept their
plea of murder in the second degree.
Judge Grimes then asked all the attoI-
neys in the case if the plea would be
agreeable to them. and they replied that
they had carefully weighed the matter
jointly and that it was for the best i'll
terests of the people the case be closed
and the prisoners sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary.

was taken from him, however. and its
contents found to have been undisturbejl.

RUSSIA GIVES IN,
Answer to Notes on the Subject of
COntraband.


A st. Petersburg special states that
Russia has given her answer to the
American and British notes on the sub
ject Of contraband Of war.
Her answer was communicated to Am
bassador Harding Friday afternoon, YER
bally, by Foreign Minister Lamsdorff,
and bears out the predictions on the
subject by the Associated Press.
The ambassador was Informed, i'll eff
feet, that the government has agreed to
the view of the United States as to the
conditionally contraband character of
foodstuffs and fuel, and that supple
mentary instruction has been issued to
the Russian naval commanders and prize
courts, calling their attention to the
misinterpretation which had been placed
upon the prize regulations.
In effect, the new instructions will
place the burden Of proof that food
stuffs, etc, are designed for belligerent
purposes, upon the captor.
The new instructions will involve re-
versed judgment of the Vladivostok prize
court by the admiralty court i'll the case
of provisions confiscated.
A direct answer to the American note
is expected soon.
Russia, in Count Lamsdorf's response
to Ambassador Hardinge. in principle
meets the views of the American and the
British governments regarding foodstuffs
and coal and other fuel as being condi-
tiOnal contraband. distinctly placing them
in the category of articles susceptible of
uses both in war and in peace and as
such only confiscatable when consigned to
blockaded ports or destined for military
or for naval forces of the enemy.
Shipments in the ordinary course of
trade by private persons or firms, even to
an enemy's port, may be regarded prima
facie not contraband, but on this point
distinct reservation is made
The simple fact of consignment by pri-
vate persons does not preclude the posi-
bility that the articles are not ultimately
destined for belligerent forces, and Rus
STA insists that it be not necessarily re-
garded rs conclusive evidence of the limo
cent character Of the goods. In other
words, irregular papers or other suspi-
cious circumstances might vitiate the as
sumption Of innocent character, but
where such suspicion IS raised the bur-
den Of proof to warrant legal seizure is to
rest on the captor. Count Lamsdorf
pointed out, however, that captains of
merchantmen also owed duty in such
cases.

GREAT STORM ON THE COAST
Atlantic Shores Are Strewn with
Wreckage

A New York dispatch says that a num-
Der Of lives were lost, much property
damaged and several ships wrecked in
the storm which ravaged the Atlantic
coast Wednesday night and Thursday. 1t
was one of the fiercest September storm
Oh record, thunder and lightning adding
terror to a bowling gale which carried
drenching sheets of rain over sea and
land.
Telegraphic reports say that the storm
has swept out into the ocean and from
the Canadian coast.
The greatest loss of life was near VIII
mington, Del The tug Israel W. Dur
other employees of the American Dredg-
ing Company, was swamped in the Del
aware River during the height of the
storm. Eight of the ten persons Oh the
little craft were drowned.
From farther down the coast-Jackson
Welcomes the report that five men
were drowned off Charleston.
New York suffered comparatively lit
tie. The wind and rain and thunder
and lightning were terrific, but little act
ual damage was done. Nineteen coal
barges were adrift in the bay and their
wreckage strews the shore from the Bat
terry to the Narrows, but no lives were
lost.
Several small vessels also went ashore
on various parts of the coast near New
York. One fatality was reported in the
city, Carl Hertzner, killed by broken fire
escape.
\ fishing steamboat, Joseph Church. of
Greenport, n. y. struck Peaks Hill bar
and was smashed to pieces. The captain
and crew of twenty-one men were saved.
At Wilmington, Del, great destruction
was caused by the storm. Trees were
uprooted, houses flooded and crops ruin
ed. In Chesapeake Bay the storm was
particularly fierce. Incoming steamers
arriving at Baltimore report that never
in their experience has such a furious
gale swept down on them at this time
of the year. One man was seen adrift in
small rowboat in Chesapeake Bay, but
it was impossible to rescue him.
The storm was accompanied by a cold

MAN is KILLED NEAR DECATUR
Three People Under Arrest Pending
Investigation.


A Decatur special says: Tuesday
night David Monet, a quarter-blood In
dian, was shot and killed two miles north
of this place on the reservation.
A party consisting of man and two
women passed through town and went in
to camp north of the place. A number
of men called at the camp, Monet being
in the party. The men are supposed to
have left and Monet returned. There
was some trouble and he was shot. AS
soon as this was done the party hurried
ly packed their goods and left.
Parties who heard the shot went to
the place and found Monett's body. The
party in the wagon was overtaken and
brought to Decatur where the coroner
inquest was held. AS far as the evidence
has been taken it is conflicting, and it is
impossible to tell whether the man or one
of the women did the shooting.
To the officers the members of the par
" gave their names as Ella Brown, Ma
tilda Fleming and Felix Richie. They
are all white
The evidence showed that Monet
when he was shot was accompanied by
white man. James Merry: that they
had been drinking and attempted to enter
the wagon where the women were get
ting ready to so to sleep: the man order
ed them to leave and Monet struck at
the man VINO then ran away. The shot
was then fired. Richie says that he did
the shooting. Merry says the shot came
from the wagon and the women were the
only ones in the wagon at the time.
The verdict of the jury was to the eff
feet that David Monet came to his
death by a gunshot wound from q gun
held in the hands of one of the three
people. All have. been held to the dis.
trict court
