RATHER OIIEER.

As other States of the Union, Louis
lana has several companies of militia,
connected in battalions and regiments,
with officers of necessary rank. In a
sense militia man or an officer of the
milish is presumed to be governed by
well defined military rules, one of which
is trial by courtnlartia1.
It can not be admitted that sum-
mary dismissal of an officer is condu-
Give to military ardor or to discipline.
The same observation may be applied to
a nome commissioned officer or one of
the rank.
It appears from reports from New
Orleans that Major Cranes commission
has been revoked by the Governor and
he has been dismissed from the service.
It also appears that Major Crane has
charged that the muster rolls of the
field artillery have been padded, which
enabled the drawing of more money
than is justified. This is serious ac-
cusation which should b thoroughly
investigated, but seemingly has been
dismissed with a wave of the hand and
Major Crane is relieved of duty.
In favor of Major Crane it is said
that he has been an officer in the Ma
tional Guard thirty years, and that his
record. military and civil, is excellent.
It may be well to inquire by what re-

ARCHBISHOP BLENK
Robbed by Bandits in Italy-Is Pre-
scented by Pope With Pastoral Ring.

The Picayune relates that during the
last week in May, Mgr Blenk, Arch
bishop ofsNew Orleans, was received
in special audience by the Holy Father,
Pope Plus x, who gave his eminent Wis
itor a superb pastoral ring adorned
with fine amethyst. The cause of the
gift was, that while the archbishop was
travelling in Italy he was held up by ban
dts, who stole his pastoral ring and
other precious objects.
The conversation between the Pope
and Mgr. B1enk related to the time
when he was Bishop of Porto Rico, and
he told the Holy Father that he found
the Catholic faith very deeply rooted
in Porto Rico during the seven years
that he presided.
Speaking of Louisiana, Mgr. Blenk
said to the Pope that it was a region
on the Gulf of Mexico that reflected the
belle France
The archbishop spoke in most san
guine terms of his hope that France
will later on come back to her former
glorious destinies as the most Catholic
country in Europe. He said that he had
attended the festival in the city of Or
leans in honor of Joan of Arc, and he
was pleased to see the deep religious
manifestations of the people.
At the close of the interview the Pope
complimented Mgr. Bienk on his vigor-
Gus physical appearance, and added {:
New Orleans will have a long-lived
and successful archbishop. .

Taylor Worries for Brothers Safety

John LANCE from southwest Of the
city has sold his farm to John An
derson for fancy price, and left to-
day for Racine, Mimi. to make his
future home. Mr.. Lange says he pro-
spered we'll enough in this state, and
will be able to take it easy back in
the Gopher state.
Chas. Taylor, one of our prominent
South Prairie farmers, IS consider
ably worried over the horrible catas-
trophe which occurred at Cherry,
ILL.,, in which over 300 miners met
death in one of the coal mines, few
days ago. His brother, James Tay-
lor, is mine shaft inspector for the
state of Illinois, and was at Cherry
at the time that ne acciden: took
place. Mr.. Taylor fears that his
brother may have gone into the
mine after the explosion took place
and may have met death.

The accident was one of the most
horrible known in years. A fire
started in the mine, when a careless
miner threw his torch on a small
bunch of hay. The hay soon started
to burn, and two miners put the
burning hay on a cart and started
for the mouth Of the mine, when a
small explosion took place. The fire
soon spread, and but very few of
the miners were able to get out of
the mine. Many of the citizens en-
cred the burning mine to help those
who were penned in, and were over
come by the gas and died. The mine
is still burning, and the fire cannot
be put out, until the air is shut off
from the shaft, which would mean
the certain death of all those who
might happen to be alive in the
mine.
