Decided in Favor OF Hinaey Ried

The opinion of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Guion recommending the issuance of
Kinney Reid's commission as sheriff
by Gov. Blanchard ADDS a new eIe-
ment to this much discussed case.
Tuesdays States says: 1t is in
favor of Mr.. Reid and advises the
Governor that it is his duty to issue
the commission. The governor init
mated in a recent in~eview that his
final decision would bS based on an
agreement Of views Between himself
and the attorney-general He has
given no inkling Of what his own
view is. but it was generally believed
here last night that his appointment
Of MIR. Hampton indicated an opinion
different from that expressed by Mr..
Guion. If the governor, after cOnsld-
Grafton, still refuses the commission,
the next move will doubtless be a re-
vival Of the maDdamus proceedings
which Judge Clegg ia behalf Of Mr..
Reid some time since ordered dismiss
ed with reservation of Mr.. Reid
right to reinstate them.
In his opinion Gen. Guion does not
agree with counsel for Held that the
absence OF notice in Sne Office OF the
governor and in the records of the
General Assembly thai MIR, Reid was

Net a Horrible Death.

Frank COley, the l6-year-Old son of
John W. Coley, of Lake Charles, suf-
fered horrible death at Grand Lake
Sunday night. He with other young
men from Lake Charles was in bath
ing. The mail boat Romeo was about
to land and young Coley took hold of
the side of the boat as it moved at a
very slow rate of speed. As the boat
hoated along in the water preparato-
nv to landing he allowed his body to
get near the stern of the vessel, when,
on bell from the captain, the prOpel-
lers began to turn at a very rapid
rate in order to back up, young Coley
was caught by the wheels and killed
instantly. His skull was crushed and
his body severely bruised in number
of places. Those who recovered his
body say they found it wrapped and
twisted about the propeller.
Young Coley was we'll and favorably
known in Welsh, being a brother OF
Mrs. A. Hebert and was an occasional
visitor here. He was popular in Lake
Charles and one of the most trusted
employees of the II. W. Miller Grocery
Company of that city.

JENNINGS POSTMASTER MISSING.
With Him 500, Thirteen Money Or.
der Blanks and Woman.

Now that the parish division buga-
boo can no longer command attention,
Jennings has sprung another sensa-
ton that adds materially to the Cal
CaSieu continuous vaudeville perform
ance. The latest ana eBs that is given
the most publicity is she disappear
ance Of Postma >jrr Howard S. Ferree.
Not only is sa~ handler of Uncle
Sans cash gone, but 500 in cash,
thirteen money order blanks, worth
maximum of &lG0 each when filed out,
and a female resident Other than the
pOstmaster's wife are also reported
missing 1t has been rumored that
perhaps Mr.. Ferree had gone in pur-
suit of John A. Perkins, Calcasieu's
defaulting sheriff., bot this report can
not be confirmed.
Regarding the incident the Lake
Charles American says: If anyone on
earth eyer made a complete fool Of
himself, it was Horace Ferree, when
he climbed aboard IN eaStbound
Southern Pacific trsia last Sunday
morning a week age, June 26, and
bade Jennings what appears to have
been permanent farewell. He stood
well in the community, held fine po-
sition, was young, had wife and
child and a host of friends, and a
father-in-law, D. Derouen, of the
highest standing in the community,
who would have backed him for any
amount.
Wise Jennings people began to say
several months ago that Horace Fer
rec was hitting too hot pace. On
June 26, after borrowing conSidera-
BILE amount from various friends, be
went to Few Orleans. a citizen of
Lake Charles met him there a week
ago who was told by Fepree that he
had fifteen days leave Of absence and
was going to the Worlds fair. He
was seen at St. Louis Wednesday and
was back in New Orleans later in the
week. Since then all trace of him has
disappeared.
The denOument cans Saturday night
when a United States postal inspec-
tor dropped quietly inao Jennings and
took charge. Monday the bondsmen
of the postmaster, who were H. Erwin,
J. P. Black, A. NJ. Gauthier, B. c..
Andrus and C. D. BoHnin, were for
mally notified of the shortage and
told to take charge of the Office.
The Jennings Times-RecOrd made
no mention of the woman in the case,
but said in part 1t is general known
that Postmaster Ferree was some
what of gambler Sad made large
bets on horse racing and lost conSid-
erably in playing cards. Such a life
will sooner or later be the downfall OF
any man.

The Ontl00k for Rice,

A Crowley dispatch says: The gen.
eral outlook for the rice crop is favor
able, but not fattering. In some Sec
lions Of the Louisiana belt the farm
erS still feel the need Of good rains,
but in other parts no complaint is
heard. 1t is entirely too early to
form anything like an accurate esti-
mate on acreage, but it is generally
conceded that the decrease in this
State has been from 10 to % per cent,
while in Texas the increase has barely
exceeded 10 per cent. The new crop
is showing some good stands, and an
average yield is expected, A heavy
yield would have probably resulted
from the precautions taken in planting
this year had not unreasonable wealth
or greatly retarded the maturity of
the grain. 1t is thought, however,
that the damage from the cool weather
few weeks ago, followed by the ex-
tended dry spell in several important
sections, has not injured the crop to
any great extent, as some splendid
stands of the new crop can be seen in
all parts of Acadia parish. Calcasfeu
parish, in the neighbOrhOOd of Jen-
nings, Welsh and Lake Charles, has
needed rain far worse than this par
isb, which luckily came in an album
dance during the past week, but not
before some damage to the growing
crop had been done.
The question Of marketing is still
being considered by the millers, but,
as far as is known, no definite plan
has been arrived at. Several mills
are preparing to send men through
out the North and East for the pur-
pose Of handling their goods direct,
eliminating the jobber and middlemen,
and getting rice to the dealers and
retailers at a much less figure than
heretofore, hoping that cheaper rice
Will aid 10 increasing the general con-
sumption Of the grain.

say That Prices Are Bound to Go
Higher.
New York March May and
July cotton sold at 1914 cents in the
local market to-day. That is the high
point of the present move, and shows
the trend Of the market A peculiar
feature Of the advance is the compar-
itively quiet way in which the price
moves up. To-day. for instance, there
was no Jurors, just simple easy ad-
vance and steady one. In Liverpool
spot cotton sold at III cents, or
about that price. and futures held
their own. The local market opened
lower, because prices abroad were
hardly strong enough. But there was
very little cotton for sale. and as the
spot markets of the South showed
some improvement, prices here ad-
vanced. We have seldom seen a steady
easy advance of this kind that ended
in this way. It nearly always ends
with a wild advance of several DAYS
We cannot but feel that prices may
be higher. because the movement is
so small. and consumers are likely to
become alarmed Liverpool is taking
the cotton. and before long there is
likely to be a scramble unless receipts
are much larger. While advising eau
ton we can see nothing i'm the situa-
ton to bring one to short cotton, as
there Is every reason to believe prices
will be higher than ever before a new
crop can be raised. For this reason
we would go with the market. Re-
ceipts are alarming.

Queen victorin's Toys Mt st. Louis.

t IVIII NIIS IIUIIuUII NIIOIICIe.
The playthings of the late Queen Vie
toria-while in their splendor and in
trinsic value they will not compare
with the almost priceless jubilee pres
ents-that will be shown at the Worlds
Fair, st. Louis, will appeal to the SEN
timent of all who view them. The
British Pavilion at the Worlds Fair is
a replica of the Orangery at Kensing-
ton Palace, the birthplace of Queen
Victoria. 1t was here that Victoria
played with her dolls. The paint is
rubbed from the face of one. The arm
of another is gone, and the leg of still
another is missing. All of these toys
have been carefully preserved.
