Louisiana Crop Report.

BATON ROUGE, Aug. 5.-State Com
missioner of agriculture makes the fol-
lowing statement for the month of
July: Reports received from fifty FIVE
parishes, in the State showing acreage
condition of prospects crops, as well as
the condition of live stock; gratifying
improvements noted throughout, as
compared with the month of June,
and still further advanced for similar
period of last year. In matter CT
sugar cane, while the acreage limited
as compared with last year, prospects
of stubble are vastly more tlattering
as result of demoralizing influence Of
the outcome of last years sugar rails
ing cost Of production in many in
stances exceeding the product derived
from the crop. Planters in South
Louisiana have devoted many of their
acres to rice, cotton and corn with
prospects of substantial results. Five
reports indicate that with reasonably
fair seasons for futurue prospects for
our farmers are encouraging.

The woodson Reward.
To the Commercial Herald;


There has been a strenuous effort
made by some Of the good citizens of
our county, to have Jessie Woodson,
the murderer of young Richardson
a~rrested-but, it seems the officers
Of our county pay little heed to the re.
quirements of the law, and the oath
they have subscribed to. 1t is a shame
that such an outrage should have been
committed in a city SO large as Vicks-
burg and whose historical record sur
passes all other cities Of the Union,
without, at least, an effort to
catch the murderer Of Albert Richard
son. The writer of this, Mr.. Editor,
is from the country, but he has dear
and near friends in your city, and
feels concerned in everything that
takes place in your city. We under
stand thai the board of aldermen met
and offered no reward-being gov.
erned by the advice of Mr.. Nc
Cabe, city attorney. We know Mr..
McCabe well enough and he would do
nothing wrong intentionally-but we,
like others, may be wrong. The
strangest thing that We country peo-
pie can't understand is why the board
Of aldermen can't offer a reward for
the apprehension of Jessie Woodson.
for the murder Of Richardson, when
they can and have in the past appro-
priated one hundred dollars more or
less to Mr.. j. F. Baum, for the break
ing Of a little glass. Here is this for
you people in town who propose to
run the county government.

THE Evening Post thinks it unjust
that we should suggest to Democrats
that there is no law, or any sort of
custom, obligating them to support a
paper that is daily opposing their
wishes. We cannot see the injustice,
nor could the Post see any, when all
the Radical officials Withdrew their pa
tronage from the HERALD, simply be-
cause it asserted that the Democratic
party ought to rule Warren county.
Nor did it have any fault to find with
Mr.. VIM. Beck, the liquor, cigar deal
'er and scrip agent, because he boycott
ted the HERALD.
The Posts position is the veriest
nonsense. The Vicksburg Times,
which was much preferable, in
editorial tone, to the Post, ruin.
ed itself by trying to sustain an
unnatural and undesirable state Of
affairs in Warren county. The New
York Sun last Fall lost sixty thous-
and subscribers and other patronage
in proportion, by playing false to those
who had hitherto supported it. There
is no section of the country where
Radicals support Democratic papers in
the same proportion that Democrats
support the Post in Vicksburg. We
repeat that Democrats who support
the Post are untrue to themselves, fol
they are simply furnishing ammuni
ton to the cause Of the Radical boss
and his followers. If the Post tocl
no hand 10 the contest or sided will
the people, the argument would mo-
hold good. 1t is now the main sup
port Of Beck, and if it should refus,
to support him, it is quite possible h
would withdraw.
Weekly commercial herald. (Vicksburg, Miss.) 1884-18??, 1885-08-07

THE Evening Post modified its first
assertion, that it had been reliably in
formed, that Mr.. Wright had offered to
support.Beck for money, by saying that
Beck and Wright had made conflicting
statements and the public must judge
between them. That is all right, as
the Post is only a side issue anyway.
However, we suggest to it to be a lit
tie more careful in future, before it
endorses the u~tterances Of a lying
slanderer as reliable.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in the back. loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms Of
Indigestion are present, as fatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after.get-
ting warm, is a very common atten-
dant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching
Piles yield at once to the application
Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which

EPIDEMIC RAGING,

Five Persons Dead, Fifteen Danger
ously III and Twenty-Five Others
of Whose Condition the Doctors
Cannot Speak.
VALPARAISO, IND, Aug. Sat
Porter Station, a village of 300 inhab-
itants, twelve. miles from this city, in
the extreme northwestern part of the
county, an epidemic is raging, (which
in the last three days has carried off
five persons. leaving fifteen danger
ously i'll and about twenty-five others
Of whose condition the doctors cannot
speak with any degree Of certainty.
The people of the village are mostly
Swedes Of clean, thrifty habits, and
until the present epidemic broke out
amongst them. they have been re-
markably healthy. About ten days
ago the first symptoms of the scourage
made its appearance and manifested
itself in vomiting and diarrhetic dis.
charges. Doctors were at a loss as to
the cause, and were unable to prescribe
any remedies to alleviate suffering Of
patients. The afflicted state they felt
a sort of leaden weight in the stomach
and bowels, which quickly changed to
vomiting and discharges. A remark
able popularity observable in those
who have already succumbed is that
while they retain clear consciousness
to the last, yet the eyes give forth a
wild expression and the general APP
pearance of the c%ountenance conveys
the idea of insanity. The most pow
erful drugs have failed to give tenn
porary check to the disease. The peo-
pie of Porter are supplied with their
meats by the butchers eff Chestertown,
one mile east. Investigation has re-
vealed that one meat shop here has not
been kept in a healthy condition, a
night Waterman having stated that on
a few occasions he could hardly pass
the door from unpleasant odors emit
ted, while a doctor of the town, who a
few days ago entered the cooling-room
asserted that never did he experience a
worse odor in a college dissecting-
room. Unfortunately for the people
of Porter it is said that it was a pro-
prietor of this market who supplied
them with the bulk of their meats.
The poison which caused the deaths SO
far is of an alkaloid nature.

Trying to Arrange DistIIIery Mat


PEORIA, ILL, Aug. 5-President
Miller, of the whisky pool, has been
here for two days past, trying to ar
range distillery matters. One or more
representatives of the Cincinnati and
other d~istillerys have also been here.
The cause of the c%ongregating was
owing to the fact that the Great
Western, one Of the heaviest distil-
lerys in the association, and which had
shut down, had announced its inten-
ton to start up. The reason given by
the Great Western was that it fur
nished a class of goods not furnished
by the other distillerys. The matter
was not arranged, as far as known,
and the Great Western will run.

M Married,

Mr.. W. w. Reeder, a prominent
young business mar of New Orleans,
was married at Holy Trinity church in
this city at $50 o'clock last evening by
Rt. Rev. Bishop f. W. Adams, to Miss
Lizzie G. Klein, daughter of the late
John A. Klein.
The attendants were Mr.. W. Y. Bar
ker, of New Orleans. and Miss w. G..
Smedes, of this city; Mr.. J.. C.
Reeder, Jr., of New Orleans,
a brother of the groom, and Miss Bes-
sic Klein, neice of the bride. The
church was handsomely decorated in
natural flowers by the lady friends
and admirers of the bride. The chan
Gel was a mass of flowers, gracefully
and artistically interviewer with ever
greens. A large floral arch spanned
the center from which hung a beautiful
marriage bell composed of Flora's most
choice offerings, as was the horse shoe
which surmounted it and held the
monogram r. X. on the columns to
the right and left of the altar were
two large letters in gas jets,
an r. on n side and a K.
on the other. These burning letters
were so happily constructed that when
the good priest pronounced them man
and wife at the close of the cere-
mony the letter K faded from
view and left the R in all
its Respondent b%rillancy, and the effect
was very pleasing and appropriate as
well as novel. After the ceremony the
bridal party repaired to the residence
Of the brides mother, where a recep-
ton was given them. At II o'clock
they left for New Orleans, where they
make their future home.
The dresses of the ladies of the bril-
dial party were elegant as well as beau
tiful and were en- train. The bride
wore white satin, brocaded and plain,
and point lace. Miss Smedes wore a
white silk with Spanish lace
and Miss Bessie. Klein was
very pretty in plain white
silk. The organ was presided over by
Miss Fannie SAMSON and Mrs. Sue
Tappan. The church was crowded to
its utmost capacity.
The Q. H. joins their many friends
in wishing the happy young people
many happy and prosperous years.

Books. Magazines. Etc.

The New York Evening Post offers its semi
weekly edition to new readers for the. last three
months of this year for % cents. Its make up
includes, besides the news Of the halfweek, the
leading editorials of the daily edition, foreign
and domestic correspondence, personal, political
and religious notes, book reviews, musical and
dramatic criticism, farm and household and
fashion hints, selections from the best current
foreign literature. etc. Owing to its thoroughly
independent attitude upon all political ques-
tons, the views of the Evening Post are eagerly
sought and more widely copied than those of al
most any other newspaper in the country. This was
the case in the last presidential campaign, when,
for reasons which it gave in advance of the nomin
alton, it found itself unable to support the
Repu blican candidate. This has been the case
also since the election, for the paper has again
demonstrated its independence by promptly de-
noncing all departures of the new Administra-
ton from the reform pledges upon which it was
intrusted with power.
