which could be opened and hand in- serted into the hollow wheel On the stage near this number wheel' stood a similarly constructed wheel one-third the size. In all the scheme called for the giving of 3,434 prizes at each draw ing; and the smaller, or prize wheel," " contained that many of the small rub Der tubes minus the number of "ter- ninal" and approximation" prizes. In each of these tubes was a slip of paper containing figures representing each prize.
 Thus equipped, the commissioners were ready to begin the drawing. For spectacular effect two boys from the local asylum for the blind were chosen to draw the tubes from the wheels. A robust negro turned the cranks, mix ing the rubber tubes in the wheels thoroughly. Then one of the blind boys drew a tube from the big wheel. A man selected by the commissioners for the purpose extracted the rolled slip from the tube. held 1t up before the audience and announced the num- Der. At the same time the other blind boy drew tube from the prize wheel" and the announcer called out the sum called for by this slip. This prize, then. was drawn by the number drawn from the other wheel at the same time. The drawing required hours and usually was largely attended. So thoroughly were advertised the features provided for the insuring of an honest drawing that the public soon became convinced that there was no chance for jugglery, and so long as the company existed the buyers of tickets purchased in the utmost confidence that If they did not win 1t was not because of unfair drawings.
 During the late sos the feeling against the policy part of the scheme had grown strong in New Orleans. Policy gambling had run riot for years. It had taken such a hold on the ser want and poorer classes that they could not be trusted with either their own or other peoples money. A maid sent to the store for supplies stopped on the way to play policy with the money given her by her mistress. The city was demoralized. It was at this time, under the Howard administration, that the lottery got into politics. The "lot- tery" and "anti-lottery" parties sprang into being. The leader of the latter was United States District Attorney Parlange, Christian gentleman to whom the evils of policy appealed most strongly.

and other muck-throwlng-are stin fresh In the minds of many. It was at this time that the company came into malodor throughout the nation. When the smoke cleared away 1t was found that the "anti-lottery' party had won.
 The finish of this fight compelled the Louisiana company to find a new base of operation. Experienced lottery men declare that Mexico would have been the logical location. for there lottery was looked upon as legitimate, and the government accepted from the lottery companies tax on gross receipts But Honduras, instead of Mexico, was chosen. This was fifteen years ago, since which time the concern has been known as the Honduras National Lot tery.
 It's legal residence abroad, however, did not change the fact that most of it's sales were in the United States. The enactment of the Federal law prohibiting the transmission of lottery matter through the malls was a severe blow to the business, but not as serious as was supposed at the time, as the express companies promptly began the work of carrying the contraband mat. ter. As the government fight grew hercer even the express companies de clined to handle the tickets and lists, and the company was forced to dis tribute them by messenger.
 The profits of the Louisiana lottery crowd during the years of its existence can be approximated from known fg- ures. For instance, the largest months s business ever done by the company was the last month before the removal to Honduras, when $2,40O,OOO was taken in by the lottery. 1t is probable that the profits from the lottery have not been less than $25,OOO,O00 all told. The plan of operation called for the distribution each month of 55 per cent of all money taken In for prizes. Agents commissions averaged 20 per cent, administrative and miscellaneous expenses averaged per cent, which left 20 per cent of net profit. The gross Income of the company figured on this basis must, then, have been at least S125,OOO,O0O during Its life.
 Before the government began It's fight on the Louisiana company a win ming ticket was known to be as good as a certified check and express con- panies and many banks cashed them. IL Is not only likely, but almost cer- tain, that had the Louisiana company not debauched the State with policy 1t would have secured a twenty-five year extension of its charter. But the policy game forced 1t Into a fight in which 1t was compelled to buy Con- gressmen and government officials. The secret pay roll of this company would be a most interesting and sensational document.-Chicago Record Herald.

The deceased was a loveable young

her demise, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are

JEWELLA BOX
A Protest Over the Election Held for
the Levy and Collection of Special
Tax for School House.

This forenoon Hon. w A Mabry,
representing number of citizens OF
School District No E, in which is COM
prised Jewella, Midway ar, Fairfield,
appeared before the Pcic: Jury and
protested against the election held on
Tuesday last as being irregular and in
volving a contest of the votes as cast.
The votes as reported is for the levy
26 in number and $4oo32 in assess
ments; against "a and $s3,37o in assess
ments. 1t is alleged there was tie vote,
there beNg IS votes for and rs votes
against, which was altered by sub
tracing one vote from the rs against
and adding it to the rs votes for.
1t is alleged that one or more voters
were permitted to vote who are not res
idents of the district and have no prop
|erty assessed to their credit in this dis
trict. The contest in this district was
warm and the Jewella people were put
to ther mettle to carry the tax.
levy are strong advocates of public
schools and would have favored the tax
at this election, but did not favor the in
definite proposition as to the location of
the school. The majority of the resi-
dents of Midway and Fairfield are in
favor of the school house being located
at some point more central than Jewella.
However, these are questions which con-
cern the voters interested.
The serious issue, as alleged, is the
Iirregularity charged What the COM
plainants want is not the going behind
the returns but a simple verihcation of
the votes as cast and tabulated. If
there has been no irregularity; if the
irregularities submitted before the Po-
lice Jury are not subject of proof, there
should then be courted most thorough
investigation To attempt to evade the
issue, as presented, on legal technicali-
tiles, will only aggravate the situation.
No man who was connected with this
election should attempt shielding on
the pretext that it is not possible to go
behind the returns.
1t will not be questioned that the citi-
zens who voted against this levy have
the right to demand veri6cation of the
votes as cast and tabulated
The question at issue, the legal point
as to whether the Police Jury could re-
canvass the votes, was referred to Dis
trict Attorney Foster for an opinion.
If it be impossible for the citizens
who voted against this tax levy to secure
a revision of the election, their next ac-
ton will be in suit resisting the tax.
In the meantime the Jewella box and
the tickets therein will be kept secure
under lock and key to be produced
whenever it may be necessary.
