The Democratic Nominations

We congratulate the democracy
ofthe State, and especially of the
third congressional and tenth sena-
ttorial district, on the recent nomin-
;ttions by the tiem0cratic-conserva-
tive party. The always heavy de
mocratie majority in New Orleans
will he largely increased by the
nomination of Major Il. A. Burke,
ofjOrleans, for State Treasurer. The
denomination of Hon. Joseph H.
Aclllen, of st. Mary, for Congress,
has already awakened the iliveliest
enthusiasm alloverhis district, and
insures linn strong increase Of the
vote by which heewas elected in
1896. The nomination of George
III. Wells, OF lCalcasieu, for State
Senator, has madeeverything solid
in tCalcasieu, Cameron, st. Mary
ana Nefniill0n, andinsures Ills cleo
ton by over one Thousand majority
If the democrats of (CaIcasieu will
only register and vote. AS this lis
the tirsttimein hertllirty .fiveyears
history that tGalcasieu has been
Ghonored by the Nomination of one
finer citizens for "a district office,
we feel confident that she will give
Mr. Wells tifteenlllundred majority.
She will Observation-Disclosures
majority if there lis a full registra-

tied to a registration Of over TWEEN
ty two hundred voters, and has
never yet polled ninety republican

THE ALLEGED CAUSE OF THE EPIDEMIC
ST Louis Republican.

N
a dispatch received by a citizen
froin relation in Grenada gives
the following VERY plausible cause
of the sudden outbreak Of the fear
fuI mala(ly in that place: The main
sewer, which leads eulifely through
that town to the river, eaNed IN d
few days ago. In order to repair
the damage 1T MAS necessary to
Uncover the sewer for a long dis
taliee, and an examination proved
that it was filled with eareasses ,f
dead dogs. cats and rats. The
sun pouring its he,utad rays "l'
:hese aemains filled the atMos-
pIlele with stencil and disease, and
within the past week not less than
seventy OF fine citizens of Grenada
have been attacked with tie
scourge.

tone OF them calling him the mediumiStic
marvel OF the age was badly exposed at a
Seance IN St Louis last Tuesday by party of
gentlemen who forced him to change his
clothes in their presence before he summoned
the spirits. Nevertheless, inside of the dark
ened cabinet where Jennings was sitting music
was Played, and finally man. and afterward
what seemed TO be woman, and then man
and small girl, came out. The test was pro-
nOunced entirely satisfactory, and the mani
teStatl0nS emlnenty successful. Here was
man who, stripped naked. went into a strange
cabinet and produced all these wonderful
manifestations. No one could doubt But an
lncredulOus MIR. Jackson turned up the light
and insisted that the medium should be eX-
amined again. The medium demurred, and
SAID ms nervous condition was not such as to
permit OF further excitement. The committee
however, insisted that Mr.. Jennings should
undresS in the cabinet. He took OFF his pants,
but declined to remove his shirt. Mr. Jack
son tore open the shirt and exposed to view
a roll OF white muslin gauZe and other
material wrapped closely about the mans
waist This was examined, and inside the
gauze We're found two pieces of red muSq uito
bar, small French harp, and a tinSel gill
band: With the gauze and musquito bar Mr.
Jennings had draped his materialiZed spirits ::
with the harp he had produced the myS eriouS
music, and the gilt band had answered for
bracelet. AS soon as Jennings saw he was cX-
posed, he said: You have caught me good.
and own up" He explained that when he
was taken TO one side to be examined by a com
mlttee he managed, while changing pants, to
slip the gauze from the pair he was pulling oil
10 the pair he was putting on. Then, il it was
e aSSred To TO eNane the pants last put on he

appearing at the cabinet door with one end of
the gauZe so arranged with piece of red
