In to-day's issue We present to
the voters Of this parish and sec
ton, the name of Captain 0. B.
Steele for the position of State
Auditor, subject to the action OF
the approaching Democratic prim-
airy election.
No man in Louisiana stands
higher in the esteem of his people
than does Captain Steele, and We
believe in all sincerity that he is
one Of the best known and most
capable business men in the state.
Captain Steele has occupied sew
eral positions Of honor and trust
through the good graces Of the
Democratic voters Of the state and
is at present the States most ac-
commodating and efficient Treas
urer.
Captain Steele is man of pleas
ant manner, clever and accommo-
dating as an official, and as f.
nancier has no superior in the
South and but few equals.
Mr.. Steele has land interests
north and Central Louisiana and
as a proof of his splendid bust
ness qualities we point to the fact
that he is Vice President of, and
one of the leading spirits in the
Bank of Baton Rouge, which is
recognized as one Of the strong
est financial institutions in the
United States.
While Captain Steele is a farm
err, merchant and banker, he is an
exceptionally plain man in his
manner, easy to hpproach, and,
takes as much pleasure and pains
in business transactions with q
plain, everyday working man as
he would with a special repre-
sentative of John D. Rockefeller.
Such a man is such rarely
these days that when one is found
aspiring to a position before the
people his election, it seems to US,
should be almost unanimous.
Captain Steele is different from
most of the office seekers in that
his actions and demeanor are the
same after as before the election.
In presenting Captain Steele to
our readers we do so knowing
that in supporting him they can
make so mistake.
He is truly a man of the people,
and by them should be elected as
the next State Auditor.
Captain Steele is a resident of
Baton Rouge. land owner in
that Parish, is a member of the
Board Of Trade and is therefore
naturally interested in the future
prosperity Of this section, and,
aside from all factional feeling,
we should give him, our neighbor,
our loyal support.-Corbin Enter
prise.

go up a prolonged and racous wall
from municipal civil service employ
es over an opinion given by Attorney
General Hogan, on Thursday
They can never, never get their sal
aries boosted as long as they live, un-
less they change jobs.
In an official ruling given by General
Hogan 10 Prosecuting Attorney James
w. Galbraith of Richland county, this
important principle of law, so vitality
affecting the financial emoluments of
these employees, is given. 1t is that,
inasmuch as civil service employees
serve during good behavior, they
come under the law prohibiting any
change in the pay of public officer
during his regular term.
The city of Mansfield wants to
raise the pay of the fremen from $65
to SIS month and Prosecutor Gal
braith asked the attorney general If
this could be done. His ruling that
this cannot be done lays down a prin-
ciple which applies to all civil service
employees.

TRIAL
Of Ex.Judge h. |. MCCray
Is Going On
And Some Sensational TeStl.
mODy Brought Out

The trial OF former Judge II. L.
McCray, of Ashland, at Medina on the
charge OF embezzlement from the Paul
Oliver estate, goes merrily on and
there is something doing all of the
time only sometimes the doings are
not as large as at other stages Of the
proceedings.
The state completed the presenta-
ton Of its evidence against H. L. Nc
Cray, former common pleas Judge of
Ashland, Wednesday afternoon at
1:40.
The final testimony was documen-
tary and was to the effect that E. F.
Shelley as guardian had paid Judge
McCray $4,000 for legal services
and expenses in recovering the &c.,
500 from s. r. Rairdon, covering a
period Of ten years from 1894.
Former State Senator Patterson oc-
cupied the witness stand during part
Of the morning session. He testi-
fed that Judge McCray had been as
sociated with him as attorney in the
Shelley cases.
The state called former Sheriff A.
Homan, the official who recovered
the money from Rairdon under a pro-
cess of court. His testimony was that
Rairdon, contemplating some sort of
legal process was about to board an
early morning train from Loudonville
for Pittsburg, when he intercepted
him and demanded the s26,5OO which
Rairdon was alleged to have held in
the shape Of certificates of deposit in
his own name, though it was stated
to be Paul divers money.
Homan's testimony was In contra
diction of Rairdon's as to where the
certificates were kept, but finally de-
veloped that the latter did not have
them ON his person, but in a safe at
the bank.
The ex-sheriff was forced 10 admit
on cross-examination that in his re-
turn to the court ne asked for a fee
of 5000 for caring for the certificates
for a period of twenty-four hours,
which was allowed by Judge Camp
bell that he thought then, as he does
now, that the fee was not exorbitant.
The state claims that the return was
in the handwriting of Judge McCray
and that the charge was suggested
by him to the sheriff.
The defense have under subpoena
over forty witnesses.

Family Goes to Infirmarx-

The Bailey family at Rich Hill has
been conveyed to the Licking county
infirmary. This family at first re-
fused to go to the institution and the
infirmary directors of Knox county
went TO Rich Hill this week to inves-
tigate the case. After some persua-
sion the family decided to enter the
institution. The family formerly re-
sided in Licking county, but for the
past few months lived at Rich Hill.
The family was in destitute circum-
stances.
