their full ana just proportion Of the

to pay back taxes for the full amount.

passed upon this matter and the way

VIM gNCoOsS UuwbbSs
A man.killing COW was responsible for
the death Of little Bessie Dandurand, =
years old, Of Manteno. The little girl
died from injuries inflicted by the beast
more than a month ago. The COW, which
had always been very gentle, suddenly
seemed to develop a mania for stamping
upon everything In sight. The little child
went to the barn with one of the farm
hands to watch him fasten the old.time
wooden yoke, which is still used for "kick-
Ing" cows, on the beasts neck. While he
was thus engaged the COW made quick
turn aside and brought both forefect
down upon the side and left arm of the
little girl. The child died from blood poi.
soning, superinduccd by the wound from
the hoofs of the COW. The animal which
inflicted the injury became SO violent with
the stamping mania that it was afterward
killed.

Death of Mrs. A. M. SobraI.

Mrs. Eveline Gonzales, wife of A.
M. Sobral, died at Ills O'Clock Wed.
nesday night after long illness, aged
sixty-two years. She was native OF
Assumption parish, but resided with
her husband in the parish of St. j ames
from the time of their marriage forty
years ago up to the latter part of the
year 1904, when the family moved to
Ascension and established their home
in Faubourg la Pipe, short distance
below Donaldsonville. The funeral
took place Thursday afternoon at 2
O'Clock and was attended by arge
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends, including delegations from
Major Victor Maurin Camp, u. C. ",
Capt. Victor ST. Martin Camp, u. S.
G. v, and Hubert Treble Chapter, u.
D. c. Services were held at the ST.
James Catholic church aud interment
was made in the adjacent cemetery.

Suggesting The black Hand.

There is much reason for commenda.
| ton and congratulation in the out
/ come of the vigorous movement for
the detection, pursuit and capture OF
the despfeable criminals who kid
mapped the little Lamana boy in New
Orleans and subsequently put him to
death in St. Charles parish.
The fact that the hand OF the law
has been laid SO quickly upon a num-
Der of the participants in this revolt
ing double crime, and that the evil
dence obtained against them is of a
character to leave little doubt of their
conviction and punishment, will go
far to prevent the commission of other
outrages OF this kind and to suppress
the operations of the Infamous Black
Hand organization in Louisiana.
The swift retribution that overlook
the assassinS of Chief of Police Hen
nessey in New Orleans some years ago
effectually checked the career of the
murderous Malta, and the prompt
execution of the laws vengeance upon
the heartless abductors and assassins
OF the Lamana boy should do as
much for the Black Hand.

A Ridiculous story.

The New York World, one of the
ye1lowest of the country's yellow
journals. printed at the beginning oil
the present week special despatch
from Washington pretending to ex.
plain why President Roosevelt had
settled upon Hon. Pearl Wight OF
Louisiana for commissioners of inter-
nal revenue, and it would not have
been easy to crowd greater number
| of misstatements and absurdities into
equal space.
The Worlds Imaginative Washing
ton correspondent started out with the
declaration that the president ex-
poets to control the Mississippi and
Louisiana deleg cations to the next na-
tional Republican convention through
Mr.. Wight's influence over ''the
| thousand or more federal officeholders
| in the internal revenue district of New
Orleans" and that Mr.. Wight's
friends and business associates ''stand
to receive remunerative contracts for
Isthmian Canal and other government
supplies" AS matter of fact Mr..
Wight has no connection whatever
with the political affairs of the Mis-
sissippi Republicans and neither
seeks nor desires to exercise any con-
troll over them. The number of inter-
nal revenue service employees in the
district comprising the states of Lou
isiana and Mississippi is less than
forty, and only small fraction of
these are from Mississippi. Con-
tracts for supplies for the Isthmian
Canal and other government works
are let 90 the lowest responsible bid
ders in free and open competition, and
Mr.. Wight's friends and associates
have no preference over other pei sons
in securing this class of business,
save such as legitimately flows from
the Offering OF the lowest and best
bids.
It is also stated in the Worlds
special that Capt. Thos. j. Woodward
was a member of the firm of Wood
ward. Wight & Co. when he was APP
pointed postmaster at New Orleans.
and that he is M. Wight's brother-in-
law. Neither of these averments is
true. Capt. Woodward retired from
the firm nearly ten years ago, and he
bears no relationship to Mr.. Wight
by marriage or otherwise.
Several other misrepresentation
are made in the Worlds article, in
volving references TO Hon. Frank B.
Williams. chairman of the Louisiana
state Republican committee, which are
quite as inaccurate and untruthful as
those pertaining to the president and
Messrs. Woodward and Wight.
The selection OF MIR. Wight for COM
missioner OF internal revenue was
predicated upon his high character as
citizen, his successful and honora.
BILE career as business man and
fnancier, his eminent fitness for the
Office, and, incidentally. his political
affiliation with the Republican party
and personal friendship for President
Roosevelt. From any and all these
the appointments is emil
nently judicious and unassailable,
and the malice an6 misrepresentation
OF the yellow press cannot alter the |
