In 1776 Brooklyn contained scarce pill

GENTLE TREATMENT OF PROS
Porous CRIMINALS.

New Orleans States: A dispatch from
Omaha gives some interesting particu-
lars concerning the considerate treat
nent accorded to certain criminals con-
victed in the Federal courts of Nebraska
of grabbing government lands. These
men are millionaire cattle kings and
owners of vast tracts of grazing lands.
After being sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment they were permitted to select
the jail in which to serdve the sentence
They were not treated like ordinary
criminals, but on the contrary they took
a japanese chef to do their cooking, and
they ordered expensive furniture and
carpets sent in to furnish their rooms.
Thy purchased and installed a well
selected library; they subscribed for a
number of daily papers and many of the
leading magazines. The, windows of
their cells were hung with lace curtains,
and in a general way it is said the
rooms" have the appearance of well
appointed clubrooms.
Of course this is making a mockery
of justice, and the wonder is that the
court which imposed the sentence
should have permitted this plan of null
lifying its decree, because if an obliging
sheriff is allowed to convert a county
Jail into a pleasure resort the practice
will be sure to bring thee ourts into
contempt. However, the fact that the
four men will serve their sentence in
luxurious rooms" will not serve to re-
move from them the brand of the ''jail
bird"

Three White Men Arrested at Vivian
Two Had Corn Sacks Filled with
Quarts of the Fiery Liquid.

In the Caddo parish Jail are three

filled with quart bottles filed and la
belled Family Trade Whiskey. Pure

Pure Food Distributing Company, St
Louis, Mo" The color of the fluid Wis
ible through the flask is of brownish
red, and on shaking it there arises a
myriad of specs, perhaps fine ground
red pepper. It is strong in smell and
the kind of whiskey which would lead a
man to climb lightning rod.
Where did Sterling and Smith get the
whiskey?
The arrest of these three men is cred
tied to Deputy Sheriff Taylor, and there
is evidence to convict. Several TASKS of
this stuff were sold in and around and
about Vivian. 1t is no wonder NOR

In such flask there is murder and

And yet men will indulge in such in

beasts disgrace its kind as man?
The bootlegger is a constant menace
to society, to the peace of every COM
munity, and when convicted there

Governor Harmon is right. At this

we'll be deferred until the party by its

rests not so much upon Democratic gov

25-CENT COTTON
Bull Leaders Talk on the Floor of New
Orleans Cotton Exchange

New Orleans States, Dec. 70: w. P.
Brown, the bull leader in cotton, was
on the floor of the Cotton Exchange
again Monday morning, after an alb
sence of some time. With the excep-
ton of few visits to New Orleans,
Mr.. Brown has spent over a year in
New York, where he has taken a prom
inent part in the trading around the fu-
ture ring,
That the bull leader was welcome
back home was indicated by the crowd
that gathered about him the moment he
appeared on the floor of the exchange.
As usual his opinion was eagerly sought
and he unhesitatingly stated that he was
more bullish than ever on the South S
leading commodity and that, in his be-
lief, prices were going much higher
Mr. Browns chief reason, or at least
one of his chief reasons, for being so
bullish on cotton is the great prosperity
of the South, which enables it to market
its cotton to the best advantage.
People thought was crazy last year
when l bet $Ioo to $1,000 that cotton
would sell at 20 cents a pound" said
Mr.. Brown. 'The time is coming,
though, when IS cents a pound will be
heard of. The march of the boil weevil
is irresistible and it is more of factor
in putting .prices up than most people
think"
Until after New Year Mr.. Brown
will be in New Orleans After that, it
is understood, he will return to New
York.

THE CITY COUNCIL
Session Held This Morning-Clairvoy-
ants and Hand Readers Can Not
. Get License

The City Council held business ses
sion this morning with Mayor Eastman
and Councilmen Atkins, Fullilove; Nc
Cullough and Rives present.
The business transacted required but
little time. There was no wrangline
nor speech making. 1t was on the order
of meeting of board of directors of
bank or big firm attending strictly to
business.
The license ordinance was adopted
after amending section ID, by adding
that no license shall be issued to clair
voyants, mediums, fortune tellers and
palmists.
This amendment should be commend
ed, and is in line wit hthe suggestions
of the Caucasian offered recently.
As remarked then, if clairvoyants
and mediums and fortune tellers and
palmists possessed, as they claim, the
faculties of telling the future and espe-
cially in locating fortunes in speculation
and otherwise, each of the class would
be revelling in wealth. 1t is we'll that
the public should be protected, at least
those who may be misled into spending
their hard-earned dollars.
The auto chemical engine was ac-
cepted.
An ordinance providing that when
ever an abutting property owner shall
fail to put down the sidewalks, curb
ing, water and sewer connections, the
work is to be done by the city at the
cost of the property owner, was adopted.
The Council was adjourned to meet
Tuesday.
