Catching Rats.

The best way to catch rats is to put
any animal substance, we'll perfumed
with oil of rhodium, into trap. This
induces them to enter readily and even
draws them from considerable dis
tance, as they are extremely partial to
this oil. An ounce of oil Of rhodium
will cost you 80 cents. Catnip to cat
Is nothing like rhodium to rat. OIL
Of rhodium is made from a species of
bindweed and is used in perfumery.-

AN OUTRAGE BY THE PARDON
ING BOARD.


alexandria, La, Oct. 26-The State
Pardoning Board today committed the
sentence of Squire Hawkins, negro,
from hanging to Imprisonment for life.
Hawkins was convicted of criminal as
sau1t on Martha Allen, white girl, and
sentenced to hang on October IS, but
twenty minutes before the time set for
the execution he was granted a respite
of two weeks. Next Friday was the
time set for the hanging"
This telegram is clipped from the
New Orleans Picayune, 1t was sent
from Alexandria as a special. Its pc
rusaI is sufficient to set the blood of an
honest -white man to boiling. To say
the least, this action of the Pardoning
Board is an outrage which should be re
scented by every self-respecting citizen
in the State
In the telegram is the explanation that
the attorney representing the wretch
appeared before the Pardoning Board
with a petition signed by many promi-
nent citizens asking for a Communication
and declaring extenuating circum-
stances"
"Extenuating circumstances.
Can there be, could there be, any ex-
tenuating circumstances in justification
of such an act by a negro or a white
man?
This negro must either be guilty OF
innocent If guilty, he is entitled to nc
c1emency or sympathy whatever. If he
is not guilty, he is being restrained TN
lawfully.
Who is the woman, the unfortunate
victim of this brute?
Has she no male defender?
If she of the ignorant class, an illit
crate and a poor girl, but whatever anc
whoever she is, she is a Caucasian, anc
should not be discredited by an insinua
ton which may be interpreted under thu
plea of 'extenuating circumstances.
There can be no ''extenuating circum
stances.
There can be no "extenuating circum
stances" in justification of such crime
but from this negro, or if white man
there should be exacted the extrem

1t is such outrages by the Pardonin!
Board which encourage 1ynching.
"Extenuating circumstances LIE
this Pardoning Board take this instanc
of committing such criminal to hear
and let them as individuals, each in hi
personal capacity, determine what h
would have done or would be willing t
do, if the victim was one of his kin,
daughter, we will say?
The Pardoning Board is fast maxim
