For fear that the wide-awake Chief and vigilant Times may not think that the item printed ie low is of any importance to the business in tcrests of our town. we reproduce, from the river column of the Times-Democrat, of Thursday. Jan. 30., as follows: Among the freight of the Garig leaving yester day was a number of slot reachines destined for Donaldsonville. Thus it seems that the election of a sheriff, r strictly by the vote of I:onaldsonville. will re vive the town's chief industry.-Donaldtonvih7e Progress. 'I \'.ithout stopping to inquire into the mttive that promptld its solicitude in this matter, we thank the esteemed re cently-and.rudely-awakened Progress for calling our attention to a corm d mercial item that in all likelihood would otherwise have escaped us, in t asmuch as these is scarcely more oc casion(, in our business to peruse the river columns of the New Or'ians pa pers than for the steamers plying Le tween that port and Donalds::nvilie to make use of the columns of the local press in furthering their business. Personally, the importation of slot machines is of little moment to us, for we quit the game long ado, and in this respect we believe the esteemed Times is in the same boat. Further more, we don't chew gum, and our friends of the Famous Blue and Le tmann stores always permit us to make free use of their hog-scales, hence there is no reason why we should put pen= nies in the slot to obtain material for masticatiion or ascertain the weights of ouraielses and i't.ads. i-Eiu Ile - &ure-postal cards wn'r, tempt us to waste time and coin in toying with the seductive orifice of the whirligig any mo')re. Of course, our home people know better, but for fear credulous out siders may be misled, it is perhaps well to remark that the Progress speaks facetiously in referring to the slot machine business as Donaldson ville's chief industry. In point of fact, there are several chiefer indus tries besides The Chief that have the slot machine business backed as far otf the board as were the ante-primary predictions of the esteemed Progress by ·the actual results of last week's little Demicratic tussle for the state and parochial fleshpots. Our esteemed contemporary was jok ing also in incidentally accusing lion aldsouville of sole responsibility for Candidate Ilanson's nomination for sheriffT, because the election returns show that four of the parish's ei-,ht wards and eight of its fifteen pulls gave him mnajorities and must there fore bear a share of whatever blame, credit, misfortune or benefit, as the case may be, is to grow out of his suc cess. The latter contingency may properly be left to future observation and discussioo, in the event that the!f uominee (of the primary becomeoes sheriff ofo the pari-h afters the general election .et to, bh held.

Practically complete returns from the Democratic primary election held in this state last week indicate that the following candidates will be voted for in the second primary, which is to take place on Tuesday, February 25: Lieutenant Governor-P. M. Lam bremont of St. James; James J. Bai ley of St. Landry. Auditor of Public Accounts-Paul Capdevielle of Orleans; W. S. Frazee of Orleans, (formerly of St. Landry). Attorney General-Walter Guion of Assumption; A. V. Coco of Avoyelles. Register of Land Office-Fred. J. Grace of Ibervilie; A. W. Crandell of Orleans. It is reported that the seventeen ward bosses of New Orleans held a caucus and agreed to suppoer Messrs. Lam bremont for lieutenant governor, Cap devielle for auditor and Guion for attorney general, but that there was some disagreement over the proposi tion to include Crandell for register of the land office in the "slate," hence the matter of that position was left open for future action. There will no doubt be much resentment aroused among the friends of the other candi dates over this attempt of the city bosses to dictate to the rest of Louisi ana what particular aspirants for the several state offices shall be favored, and an interesting struggle is promised for the all four vacancies on the Demo cr.:ic tiLke.t to be ii l-Id by the s -c.cnd p:rig. ary. There will be but one parochial nomination in Ascension voted on at the second primary-that for assessor,, the contestants being A. A. Kling of the eighth ward, who received 635 votes in the first primary, and Louis A. Landry of the fLurth ward, whose votes in the first primary totalled 540. The failure to nominate for this onice at the first primary was due to the pres ence in the field of a third candidate, James E. Ayraud of the first ward, who polled 295 votes, thus preventing either of his competitors from receiving the majority of the total vote which is necessary under the law to constitute a nomination. There is a fruitful field for specula tion as to the outcome of the ap proaching struggle between Messrs. Kliug and Landry, who are both ac t ve. competent and popular, and the contest bids fair to be close and excit ia!, barring unforeseen contingencies and combinations. Mr. Landry is the present incumbent of the office, and Mr. Kiing is parish treasurer and ex oflicio seeretary of the police jury. The considerations that would seem to militate in favor of Mr. Kling's success are that he led his opponent by nearly a hundred votes in the first ;primary; that he hails from a section of the parish which casts the bulk of the Demn:cratic vote, but is represented by only ore parochial candidate among the live nominted in the first ".rim'ary, acnd tht of the 295 votes ,iven t,, SIr.

Whitaker tendered his resignation and| Win. . . O'Connor was unanimously chosen by the board of police commis sioners to fill the vacancy. Mr. O'Connor is in his sixtieth year, but. e has the physique aud energy of a V much younger man, and is admirably qualified by experience and tempera rment for the efficient performance of the duties of his new position.

A long and beautiful life came to a sudden and pe.ceful :l s; in New Or leans on January 28, when the spirit of Josephine Osborn Stark, widow of the late Dr. J. B. Wilkinson and mother of Hon. Theo. S. Wilkinson, left its mortal casket. The venerable lady, who was in her eighty-fifth year, had been in feeble health, but there was nothing in her condition to indicate the near approach of death, and she was preparing to go out and visit friends when the final summons came. Mrs. Wilkinson was born at Wood ville, Miss., Dec. 23, 1823, and became the bride of Dr. Wilkinson at the age of 19. The union was blessed with seven sons and one daughter, the lat ter, Mrs. Thomas Worthingron of Birmingham, Ala., dying in that city in 1899. The sons were J. Biddle Wil kinson, Jr. former United States gen eral appraiser at New York; Theo. S. Wilkinson, who succeeded his father as a sugar planter at Myrtle Grove, Plaquenfines parish; Andrew Wilkin son, who was long known in New Or leans journalism and a member of the Times-Democrat's editorial staff; Dr. C. P. Wilkinson, who was president of the State Board of Health and quar antine physician for a score of years; Horace Wilkinson, a prominent sugar planter of West Baton Rouge parish; James Wilkinson, district attorney of Plaquemines and St Bernard parishes, and Ernest Wilkinson, a prominent ;a.'Nr of WVashington, D. C. The Chief tenders heartfelt sympathy to the worthy descendants of this model woman and mother, whose pure life and manifold virtues will ever be to them a heritage beyond price. Weather and Crop Notes. If the weather man is trying to es tablish a reputation for eccentricity or fickleness, he is certainly succeeding nobly, since nothing at all similar to the very dive~se and peculiar meteoro logical conditions at present prevail ing have ever before been experienced in this section of the universe. Sun shine, clouds, rain and ice, north, east, south and west winds, and sum mer and freezing temperatures, not content with following each other in rapid succession, have finally inter mingled and arrive in bunches at frequent intervals, until even the oldest inhabitant and the most in fallible weather prophet have yielded the palm and confessed to being all in-down and out. Cane planting is under way on all of the plantations in this locality and will be concluded within a few days. The seed is reported to be in splendid condition. An unusually hard rain fell through out the parish \Vednesday afternoon and was followed by a steady drizzle, which continued with monotonous reg ularity for the remainder of the day. Field work was interrupted for the time being, but was resumed with re newed vigor Thursday and yesterday, when delightful weather prevailed. A Bij Sicess in Spite of 8 the liia aiia Paic, The B gest Busin.R in the Hsltory of the Institution. During the month just passed, the Tyler Commercial College, of Tyler, 0 Texas, enjoyed the largest enrollment e for any one month since the school was established, and their heavy cor respondcnce indicates that this month a will also be a reverd breaker. This big success, with such a financial cri . sis as this country is just passing ' over, is conclusive evidence of two things. First, that the Tyler Commer cial College is givingthe most thorough and practical education possible, one that fully meets the demands of the bus iness world. Sccond, it proves that the better thinking people were made Sto realize by the panic that there is no better way of investing their earn ings than in a l:ractical commercial education. May this institution con tinue to prosper. It is doing a great good for our young people. Parents int,,rested in placing their sons and daughters in a commercial college where they will receive valuable moral training as well as a thorough and practical business training, would do well to investigate this school. A bus iness training without the proper moral training as a foundation is a failure. Lost.

Accordingly, Sheriff St. Martin ordered the arrest of the a unsavory trio, and at 10:30 o'clock Thursday night Chief of Police H. t Schaff, Sr., Officer Albert Gauthreaux, Constable John Ramirez and Deputy Sheriff Lucien Acosta proceeded to the Tea and Pea saloon in Church ville, opposite the Texas and Pacific freight depot, for the purpose of tak ing the negroes into custody, having previously been informed that the men they wtete a'o-r could hbe found at the above place. Upon arriving at their destination, Chief Schaff and Officers Gauthreaux and Acosta entered the saloon and called upon Johnson and his companions to surrender, Con stable Ramirez remaining on guard outside. At the appearance `f the of ficers, Zach Johnson and Sonny Harris fled through a back door, Harris jump ing over a fence and disappearing, while Johnson ran around the build ing to the street. Here he encountered Constable Ramirez, who ordered him to halt and surrender. Johnson paid no attention to this command, where upon the officer, who was armed with a double-barrel shotgun loaded with buckshot, fired upon the fleeing negro and, failing to stop him with the first barrel, pulled trigger a second time, aiming at the fugitive's legs. Al though badly injured, Johnson jumped over several line fences and disap peared, and it was nearly an hour later before the officers discovered him lying in an adjacent"yard bleeding profusely from a,wound in each leg. The prisoner was picked up and car ried to the office of Coroner E. K. Sims, who found that bullets from Constable Ramirrz's shotgun had severed the main arteries in both legs, and that considerable blood had es caped. The wounds were dressed and Johnson was conveyed to the parish prison, where he died about 2 o'clck a. m. Frida y.
