Catah0ula Sheriff Kills DerwOOd
williams.

Derwood Williams, blind tiger
operator in Grant and CatahOula
parishes, was killed last Monday by
Sheriff Walters and posse, OF Cata-
houla, while resisting arrest at a
point on Little river, the dividing
line between Grant and Catahoula.
The sheriff and posse came up on
Williams while he was at work In
his field and called on him to surrend-
er, but instead he ran to a skiff at
the back of his field and was pulling
out into the back-water when the
posse fired and killed him instantly.
Williams was a dangerous and des-
perate man and had been before the
courts several times for running a
blind tiger. Sheriff SwaffOrd. the
Grant parish officer. was on the hunt
for Williams when he was killed. and
heard the fusilade OF shots fred at
him. He crossed over into Catahoula
toinvestigate the shooting and found
the Catahoula posse in charge of the
body.

Peace in the Orient Apparently
Assured.


In response to President Rosevelt's
well timed suggestion and request to
Japan and Russia, that they should
meet in a sensible consultation over
thequestions OF dispute between them,
these warning powers have selected
Washington City as the placefor such
meeting. Each nation will appoint
three representatives, and it is prob
able that an umpire, for the settling
of points that cannot be agreed upon,
will be chosen from some neutral
country.
The selecting of Washington as the
place for the peace conference in the
interest of two great nations of the
Eastern Continent, has accentuated
the power and influence OF the United
States, and shows the Difference paid
to America and American ideas
and institutions by all the diplomats
OF the earth. The direct, personal
and positive appeal made 10y the Pres
ident to Japan and Russia is revela-
ton and surprise to the red tape
advocates of Europe, and will he a
nine day'swondert to them before they
can appreciate and understand it's im.
port and Importance. But the CONS
mon sense and justice of the act is
universally approved, and the civilized
world rejoices at this innovation up
on European methods for bringing
about pence conference, and hope
that it may have most successful re-
suits.
The promptacceptance OF the Presi-
dents suggestion by both powers has
been telegraphed to the world at large,
and the time for the meeting of theen-
voys of peace is said to be fixed for
August 1st. This to American citizens
seems to be an unnecessarily long de-
lay of action, but in Europe it is re-
garded as quite the thing, and morein
accord with the dilatory methods Of
procedure. In the meanwhile military
operations in Munchuria goes steadily
ahead, as if no movement for peace
was on foot, and the wiley and indie
fatigable Japanese are reported to be
gaining victorious advantages every
day.
The conditions are acute with inter-
est, and the dull times of summer bid
fair to be enlivened with ample news
to keep attention fixed upon the novel
situation. While the ministers of
peace are discussing the terms OF
settlement, if no armistice is declared,
it begins to look sif Oyama will fight
Linevitch to n finish, and Russia will
be licked into surrender before the
commissioners can agree upon terms
for peace.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tacbian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed. deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness tcaused by catarrh)

Echo of a Malignant Lie.

asks, Scan these things be true? Are

no sons?" The Beacon is informed
that the extract it printed is an in

than to take any stock in theintima-

To the Public.

The editor of the Colfax Chronicle has
no explanations orapologies to make
to criminals or their sympathizers,
and for that reason win not enter in
to any discussion or controversy with
the Peoples Demands over it's out
rageous and infamous contentious
this week, as to our position on the
negro question. 1t would only be
case of answering fool according to
his folly.
However. as strangers to this region
might take stock in the Demands
morbid and malicious mouthinss, if
allowed to go unchallenged, we will
enter our general and specific denial
to any and all aspersions directed
this way. They are manufactured
and created by the use of tons of fib
where there are scarcely grains of
fact, and are simply the figments Of a
weak and diseased imagination, utter
ed by n confirmed marplot with inter-
ested motive, and at a time when it is
supposed they may be of most self in
terest, by creating sectional discord
and i'll feeling.
The intelligent white people and all
the old citizens of Grant parish know
that for more than twenty-five years
we have been thoroughly identified
with all measures for the maintenance
of white supremacy and law and or:
der, and that we have not only been
free to talk and write for it, but ready
to act whenever necessary to enforce
white rule and domination. The ne
groes of Grant parish know we always
insist that they stay in their places
and respect white people; and they
also know that as long as they do
this we have the courage and moral
fortitude to speakout in their defense
whenever imposition and wrong is
practiced toward them by the vicious
and lawless.
We love Justice and Right, and no
amount of Safeguarding and crying
out of '.nigeer lover on the part OF
moral and political lepers can swerve
us from the purpose of defending
what we believe To be right between
man and man, be their color white,
red or black. We feel sure that in this
position we have the support, conf
dence and respect OF all the christian
Indies and gentlenleno Of Grant parish,
and therefore we have only pity and
contempt for all the personal illusions
that may be made by the silly advo-
cate of blackguardism and lawless-
ness. In conclusion We beg the par
don OF the good people of Grant for
devoting this much space in explain
ing to the public, as it is probably
unnecessary to have said anything.
