An exchange suggests that Senator
Davis, of Arkansas, be forced by law
to spell his front name JeGrios instead
of JEFF. But the newspapers can all
conspire'to call him Senator JeTries

the president of the Confederacy.

The hall was decorated IN the senior

smaller room was fixed up as a
reception room. Albert F. Dunphy
acted as postmaster and the usual
routine Of the annual banquet was
gone through, the seniors getting the
usual slap at the freshmen first, the
freshmen later getting back at them
and showing them they were in the
error.
Tbs toasting and responses were
good ard much merriment was had
through them. After the banquet the

form Of amusement was enjoyed till
late hour. A number Of Alumni

GIRLS CAUSE TROUBLE.

The Hewitt Bridge company of
Minneapolis sends ont postal cards to
be filled ont and returned to them
whenever there is any bridge construc-
ton work to be done in the vicinity
of a town. The company is in touch
with local people in all the towns of
the state and these blank postal cards
are often received by citizens who
report to the bri'ge company of any
contemplated bridge work. Last week
one of these cards was left on the
public desk in the Motley postofice.
Some girls came along and filled out
the card stating that a bridge contract
was to be let last Saturday. The
name Of the editor Of the Motley
newspaper was forged to the card
which was sent to the Hewitt CON-
pany. The company lost no time in
sending a representative to Motley
and when he arrived he was mad and
threatened to arrest the perpetrators
of the trick. He was out the time
and expense of his trip to Motley and
there was no bridge contract even be-
ing considered. -Wadena P. j.

REBEL IS CAPTURED IN WINNI-
PEG.

A. P. j. Monkman, said to have
been second in command of the rebels
in tbs famous Louis Riel Rebellion in
Canada some thirty years ago, has at
last been captured. Monkman was
captured while on a visit to his old
home IN Winnipeg from Northern
Minnesota, to which place he had
made several visits before without
mishap. When the rebellion was
stamped out he escaped to Minnesota,
as many others did, and became we'll
known through Northern Minnesota as
u guide, cruiser, hunter and trapper.
Monkman will most likely be spared
the moose but will certainly be made
acquainted with some Canadian
prison.

GRAND JURY REPORT
On the Condition of the Good Roads or
Convict Camp.

The grand jury in their report sub
mtted at noon today, in referring to the
,lsit of their committee to the convict
camp, says:
his committee found that the places
where the prisoners were kept, especially
their sleeping apartments, were in very
unsanltary condition and that the prem
ises were filthy; that the room for the
housing of the prisoners is inadequate
and that the bedding furnished them is
insufficient; that vessel, which is wood
en- keg, which is used by the prisoners
when confined at night in the jail car is
left IN the car during the night, and in
consequence the odor and stencil from
the place is sickening beyond description.
From our investigation of this mat
ter we do not think that the best ends
of justice would be subserved by send
ing more prisoners to these camps until
the sanitary conditions are improved
We found also that the whites and the
blacks are kept together, and we would
suggest that the proper authorities look
into this matter with view of changing
these conditions. We found that the
premises are breeding places for vermin.
We found that the food for The prison.
ers IS wholesome and sufficient. In
view 0 fthe fact that there have been re-.
ports of cruelty in the camps. we desire
to say that We have found ,ne, evidence
OF cruelty to the prisoners by the
guards

A SUMMARY OF ACTUAL CONDl-
TIONS.
A report of their investigation. at least
in so far as the press is concerned. is
two fold The conditions as related are
given from cool, impartial and delib-
crate deduction from facts relieved of
all sentilnentality and which can not be
controverted.
The Caucasians first consideration is
the system of road Improvement, So
styled. The system can not be approved
by men intelligent and impartial. The
roadway travelled will average in width
labout twelve feet 1t should be made to
Iconform to division or sectional lines.
Ii should be at least thirty or forty feet
in width 1t should be graded with reas-
onable and intelligent uniformity. and it
should possess sufficient drains to release
water from rainfall which acctlmulates
and stands in bottoms and low places.
| This road is treated with a scraper, then
lick, a few shovels full of earth and a
promise. which may never be fulfilled.
To say the least of the road over which
/ the party of l1lquisitors Travelled, if it be
| a sample of the road Improvement III
| Caddo parish, the system is dismal
| failure, which if continued will lead the
parish into bankruptcy. The principle
upon which is being attempted the bet
iterment of the public roads is inconsist-
ent with practical economy and retiec-
| tion on the authorities of the parish by
which it is permitted AT best the pres.
ient system is makeshift, pretense
which is TOO expensive to be fostered OF
encouraged. and therefore it should bt
abolished The theory of road-makinf
or road Improvement under the presen
system of convicts is impractieable ane
has been a heavy drain OH the financia
resources of the parish. Whatever goos
lrnay result from the system is not equiv
alent to the expenditure, and which nj
man engaged in any business or enter
prise would tolerate an instant lh
present system should be abolished b.
the Police Jury. Road-making and roa'
Improvement should be let by contrac
TO responsible men who will do the worl
as it should be done. On this question
1 The Caucasian will reserve its comment
and suggestions for future issue A
information, it is stated that the Polio
i Jury at their session in June 1906 appro
priated $4,000 for public roads an
bridges.

THE CONVICT CAMP.

A convict should not expect to be en-
tertained with music and flowers nor

and cigars. As a rule the convicts are
negroes who have served terms III the
penitentiary for carrying concealed
weapons and minor offenses. 1t Is true
that discipline must be maintained IN

but the convict should receive human
treatment. No complaint can be urged
