thought was right. But neither
Col. Wilkinson, nor his father
barred his breast to shot or she'll
on either side of the controversy.
''In this very speech in which
he denounced me. he boosted of
his services to the people of this
great state and nation, but may L
ask where he was from 1868 to
1896. In all the trials of that
period, when the parish of Plaque
mines was the last one in Louis
lana to come from beneath the
heels of the negro, do you doubt
that he was the prominent factor
in the parish in which he lived?
Then where was he in all the years,
when your fathers and mine, and
|, myself. and your boys here,
were fighting the battles of the
white men of your State?
Then you remember another
epoch in Louisiana when in 1898
the heroes of 1861 and their ssons
were in New Orleans in conven-
tion assembled. Judge Allen was
there, Judge Thornton was there.
Mr.. McCullum was there, rs well
as other gentlemen who are now
on this platform, when the old
and only question presented to US
was "How shall we rid Louisiana
of the negro vGve?" We were
consulting continually upon that
question, but where was Theo-
dore WiIkinsous Echo answers
"Where." By. resolution, we
asked all Democrats to come be-
fore that convention and help us
solve that question, bnt not by
word of advice or act or deed or
assistance was he even present.
When. we adjourned, the conven-
ton adjourned and it bears no
suggestion of Theo. WilkInson's
assistance.
Judge j. Il. Thornton, when he
arose to speak, was greeted with
a burst of applause. During his
eloquent address he spoke of the
splendid gathering of the sons and
daughters of st. Mary. "Far
more inspiring than all else," he
said, sis the sight of the gentle
women of st. Mary gathered here
to participate in this meeting for
the express purpose of refuting
the slnnder and insinuation that
the women of this parish do not
endorse or sympathize with the
candidacy Of Jared Y. Sanders
for governor of this State. Per-

with Sherman through Georgia
to the ,sea. You know, you old

Mr.. Edmond's people were either

his march to the sek, Grant in
his siege of Vicksburg, or when
he battered down the walls of

MILL
PARTIALLY BURNED
Lands Lumber & Manufacturing
Co. Plant Is Prey to Des-
tructive Flames.

The Lands Lumber & Manu-
featuring Co. plant was partially y
destroyed by fire last Wednesday
night. The blaze was first dis
covered at 9:45 o'clock in the dry
shed of the planning mill. 1t had
obtained such headway that ali
efforts to suppress the flames
proved unavailing. The planer,
office and 100000 feet of lumber
were destroyed involving an esti-
mated loss of $4,000 or $4,000.
1t could not be ascertained what
insurance, if any, was carried.
This manufactory is situated In
the southwestern portion of the
town on the Louisiana & Arkan-
sas railroad, above the depot. Its
capacity is $4,000 to 10000 feet
of lumber per day. 1t employees
30 men with pay roll of over
$4,000 per month.
Through the strenuous exertion
of the mill men and actly citizens
the saw mill was saved although
the boiler room adjacent was
destroyed. A large amount of
lumber IN the yard was moved by
sympathetic friends to check the
spread of the fire in the yards.
The wind blowing away from the
saw mill, preserved the entire
plant from destruction.
The Lands Lumber & Manu-
featuring Co. is one of the most
important industries in Winfield
and its loss is severe one. 1t is
hoped that they will speedily re-
place tie loss of their planer and
other machinery.
The origin of the fire could not
be definitely ascel tanned, but was
supposed to have been communi-
Gated from sparks from a loco
motive. 1t was stated by one of
the prominent attaches of the
industry that rebuilding was al
most necessary, to fill pending
orders and on account of the
interests involved.
The temporary headquarters of
the company are located in the
section house of the l.. &. A.
railway, kindly placed at the dis
posal of the company by the
officials of that road.

Stave Company, whose plant was
destroyed by fire on the night of
September IA, arrived here early
in the week on business connected
with that plant. They have ad-
justed with the underwriters, the

presence of these representatives
of the factory, is the information
that the destroyed building will
be rebuilt ut once. The factory

Among the Exchanges
of the Inland Empire

near the home Of Jesse James, one or
the most notorious of the Nez Perce
Indians, It is believed that that In
dian knows much Of the circumstan-
ces leading up to the killing. Ran
kin is the Indian who in q cutting
affray with Jesse James several
months ago, severely stabbed and
bruised Jesse. He has a reputation
of being one of the meanest of the
tribe when under the influenc Of IL
quor.
Parties living in the upper end OF
town state that a bunch of Indians,
among whom were James and Ran
kin, were carousing about late last
night and about midnight went to-
ward the home cf Jesse James at the
mo nth of the creek, where they prob
ably spent the night gambling and
drinking.
Suspicions are strongly indicative
that Samuel Ellenwood, another In
dian with whom Rankin was seen late
last night, was in the vicinity at the
time of the assault. Although not
arrested he is being watched by the
officials.--Stites Udaho) Herald.

War on "Blind Pigs"

Prosecuting Attorney Wende hopes
to secure the sinews of war to enable
him to commence an active campaign
against the proprietors of "blind pigs"
In the small, unincorporated towns
of the county. Complaints have
reached Mr.. wende from Papato.
Naches and other places, but none of
the complainants are willing to sign
the informations required to initiate
proceedings against the lawbreakers.
The only way in which the county
authorities can "get after" the blind
pig men Is to employ one or two de-
tectives to travel around and secure
the necessary testimony to secure con-
yiction of the offenders, and this
takes money. Mr.. Wende Is therefore
meditating laying request before the
county commissioners for q few hun
dred dollars as a campaign fund.
II the commissioners agree to par
with the money, Mr.. Wende will star
something that will prove interesting
to all who are profiting by the lille
gal sale Of liquor in Yakima county
