amazing collection of vauables was
found, extending even to The back yard,
where on the ground were scattered the
fragments of a beautifuI and valuable
necklace, gold cuff buttons, bearing the
initial L." gold scarf pins and bits of
broken jewelry. The bulk of the jewels,
however, was found wrapped in hand
kerchief in the oven of stove. The col
lection included bracelets, lockets, rings,
earrings, brooches, silver toilet arti-
cles together with a considerable amoun
of other jewelry evidently modern, and
the fruit of other robberics.
An alternative theory is held by the
police. to the effect that none of the
jewelry came from the Livingston
tomb. but that it all is the result of
robberies of the DePeysters' summer
home at Tivoli and olner unoccupied
houses in that vicinity

st. Petersburg, May 20, 6:4 p. m.-So
changed is the naval situation at Port
Arthur by the japanese disasters, naval
officers say that the officials would not
be surprised should Rear Admiral Witt
soeft as soon as his tame ducks" are
repaired make frequent trips to sea as
the late Vice Admiral Makaroff did, in
order to harrass the enemy's operations
along the western coast of the Lao Tung
peninsula. They assert that the latest
advices show the channel to Port Arthur
is free, despite the Japanese claims to the
contrary, and they explain the sole rea-
son why the Russian ships have hereto
fore not gone out, is the tremendous su-
periority of Admiral Togo's fleet
Second thoughts have caused the ad-
miralty officials to diseredt the report
that the Japanese battleships Shikishlma
and Full have also been destroyed. 1t
is believed that the Russian refugees
from Port Dalny who circulated the re-
port on arrival at Che Foo yesterday
probably confounded the shkishima and
Full with the Hatsuse and Yoshino But

Business In New Orleans.

The following excerpts from Dun 3
Review Of Oct. 20, showing genera al
and market conditions at New Orleans,
will prove of interest:
Cotton-Early in the week there was
an advance In future contracts, but
later the market reacted and closes
only fairly steady on an average OF
thirty points under what it was week
ago. There has been a good demand
for spot cotton; exports have been
comparatively heavy, but prices have
lot been maintained and quotations
are down three-eigbths. The market
closes easy. Receipts of cotton for the
season were $751; bales, against
1,772,6 last year. Stocks at all ports
are 735, $50, against $50, 92O last year.
Local stocks are 2o5, 1893 bales.
Rice-Receipts Of rough rice for the
season are $40, $50 sacks, against &c.
sol last year. Receipts OF clean rice
arel13,888 pockets, against Is, 495 last
year. The better grades OF rough rice
are firm and in good demand. Clean
rice has been fairly active, with a good
demand, and the advance in quota
tions is being maintained. The market
is firm. According to Dan Talmage's
Sons the Louisiana movement for the
crop year thus far shows receipts of
784, 900 sacks, against 667. 266 sacks

compared with 1888, 1856 pockets ID 1908.
Sugar-Receipts OF new sugar and
molasses have been comparatively
heavy for the season, and while the
market has been somewhat irregular,
prices are fairly well maintained. Re
fined sugars are quiet and unchanged.
Money-The money market is firm,
with tendency toward higher rates.

laws have Jurisdiction, and we have
established here in Louisiana one of
the most complete systems for the in
spection and analysis of commercia al
fertilizers, feed stuffs and Paris green
TO be found anywhere. An account of
each and every consignment is kept
and the files and records are SO ar
ranged as to insure correct account
OF each and every consignment made
by a registered manufacturer, dealer
or broker, to point in this state.
The duties devolving upon this branch
OF the state government are very i'm
portant, as by an inactive and lax in
spection system the legitimate manu-
facturers and dealers who comply with
the state laws might very easily be
placed at a material disadvantage by
the INSCRIPTIONS in trade competition.
So you see, the import Of our work is
doub1y significant, for it protects the
legitimate manufacturer by definitely
establishing the stand ards of all goods
marketed, at the same time accom-
pishing what the original trainers Of
the law intended protecting the con-
snner against fraud. T Fill get BE
long before our efforts will reach the
entire and complete limits of the whole
field, and when we have successfully
accomplished this the new law will
then be established.''

FEED sTUFFs AND FERTILIZERS.
Legislation of Vital Interest to Farm
ers and Observation-Disclosures
Seized in Tangipalnoa Parish.

New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
Chief Inspector Oh rles Fl. O'Rourke,
of the Louisiana State Board OF Agri-
culture and Immigration, has just re-
turned from Tangipahoa parish, where
he went to investigate certain ship
ments of feed stuffs and fertilizers made
l to points in that parish. As a result
of these Investigations number OF
cotton-seed meal shipments made by
the Magnolia Oil Mill and Manufac-
turing Company OF Magnolia, Miss,
and a shipment OF fertilizer consisting
| of ground bone made by the Armour
Packing Company OF Chicago, ILL.,,
have been found illegal and in contra
veution of the state laws applicable to
this class of trade and ID consequence
of these conditions two consignments
OF cotton-seed meal and one Of bone
meal have been seized at Pontcha-
toula; one shipment has been seized
at Hammond and another consignment
has been seized at Independence by the
parochial authorities of Tangipahoa.
Act 153 of 1904, regulating the sale
and purity of commercial feeding stuffs
in Louisiana, applies not only to all
cotton-seed meal marketed as feed in
Louisiana, but includes within its pro-
visions linseed meals, pea meals,
cocoanut meals, gluten meals, maize
feeds, starch feeds, sugar and molasses
feeds, dried brewer grains, malt
sprouts, hominy feeds, oat feeds, cere-
aline feeds, corn and oat chops, corn
and oat feeds, ground besf or fish
scraps, mixed feeds made wholly Or in
part from wheat, rye, buckwheat or
rice, mixed brans and brans made
from any cereal or grain, containing
more than 10 per cent Of bulls, chaff
or other foreign matter But the law
does not apply to hays and straws,
the whole seeds, nor the unmixed meals
and chops made directly from the seed
of wheat. rye, barley, oats, Indian
corn, buckwheat, broom-corn or rice.
The law requires that manufacturers
purposing to do business in the state
must register the different brands they
purpose marketing in Louisiana, with
Commissioner j. G. Lee, Baton Rouge,
and that all shipments of registered
brands shall be tagged and branded
according to law. Copies of the law,
with rules and regulations for the
proper guidanea of manufacturers will
be sent free Of cost upon receipt of re-
quest by either Commissioners Lee or
chief Inspector Charles Il. O'Rourke,
~ Union street, New Orleans.
Mr.. O'Rourke says: "The most dis
agreeable stage Of the laws require
ments has passed; I mean the working
on OF the surplus stock on hand in the
thousand and one places where feed
stutfs are found throughout Louisiana,
In every instance where such cases
were found, the dealers were REQUIRED
to comply with the law, but as nearly
month has elapsed since the law hes.
came effective, I feel quite sure that
most of this class OF goods has been
disposed of. State inspectors through

INSIDE INFORMATION
A Few Facts That Are Of Interest to
Everybody.

A politician has inside information
about deal before he goes into it. A
business man looks into a proposition
before tackling it. An engineer would
not think of buying a piece of ma
chinery without knowing all about it.
The same rule should apply to a
watch. No one should purchase a
watch without having inside informa-
ton. The case may be all right, but
it's the works that really count. Come

AN ADDRESS

TO the Populists and Voters of Louisiana,
| SIMMsBoRo, La October so, 1904.
Feeling and knowing it duty owe
! you as chairman Of the state commit
| tee, I hereby submit the following re-
port:
According to your Instructions ]
went to Baton Rouge and got NOM
ination papers, and sent out to the
best of my ability aboutforty or fifty. ]
received back seventeen OF them signed
by 698 voters, eighty-fve of which came
| in too late. Thinking possibly some
had been sent direct TO secretary OF
state, sent in what had, 1O8 Of which
were rejected, leaving SOC. Whether
the fault lies with the parties entrusted
with the papers Or with the mails am
unable to say, but you see we are de-
MED a place on the official ballot.
However, am informed by the seere-
tary of state that there will be blank
on which we can write our ballot, and
this / would urge you to do. The
names will have to be written and
stamped in the usual way. AS il is
impossible to write the eleven names
and stamp them in the time allowed
by law, [ suggest that you write the
name of Thomas e. Watson in blank
space for president, T. Fl. Tibbles
for vice president and A. Benoit in
place for electors. Stamp opposite
each name you write and you will have
expressed your choice and this one
elector will be counted.
Fellow Populists, feel satisfied that
could we have secured an official ballot
and If the Democrats had the courage
of their convictions th at we would poll
vote that would open the eyes of the
secretary OF state.
The trusts and combines of capital
have two fast steeds in the race for the
White House, and it makes little diff
ference which wins, they will be in the
saddle for the next four years.
It becomes more apparent every day
that the Democratic party is party
without honor or convictions. They
stole our platform and used it eight
years, and now they are trying to
steal the Republican platform. But,
thank God, when the flag fell at ST.
Louis the gallant, brave and patriotic
son of the south, Thos. =. Watson.
gathered it from the shame and dis
grace where W. +. Bryan had laid it,
unfurling it again, shouting Follow
mel Give me liberty or give me
deathl''
Again, fellow Populists, we find our
papers all gone except the Progressive
Age, and We are without communities
ton. Our organization gone, our once
brave leaders gone; some to the Re
publicns, God pity them; some TO the
Democrats, God forgive them, and |
some have gone tower the river and
are resting from their labors.
Now, let me beg you who may chance
to read these lines, if you are not per-
mltted to vote your convictions don y
vote at all, and let the watehword
from now to 1908 be, "organize and
educate Then, I promise you II | /
live to see another presidential cleo
tion you will have ample time to get
on the official ballot.
In conclusion, would beg you to be |
true to your God, your country and
yourself. Yours until death,
