AT Mount McGregor, New York, on
Thursday morning, July 90, at s:o'
O'Clock, Gen. %. S. Grant, after many
months of painful Suffering from al
incurable disease, quietly folded thu
tent Of life and passed gently away
to the realms above.
Gen. Grant was born al Mount
Pleasant, Ohio, April 81, 1922, and al
the age Of II was appointed a cadet
10 the West Point Military Academy.
he graduated IN ls4s, at the age soi
81 years in the middle class, and was
brevoted second lieutenant of infantry.
He served in the war with Mexico
with great galiantry. In 1851, just
latter the fall of Fort Sumter, Grant
rendered his services TO President Lin
coin, and throughout the entire war
served his country from Captain to
Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Armies of
the United States.
On june 20, 1868, General Grant
was made the almost unanimous presi-
Dental candidate of the Republican
National Convention, and he was
elected over Horatio Seymour, receiv-
ing ga electoral votes against eighty
cast for the Democratic candidate. In
1872 he was reelected over Horace
Greeley, received 2s8 electoral votes,
against sixty-three in opposition.
After DISAGREEMENT from the presi-
dental chair in 1877, General Grant
and family made a tour of the world.
He was everywhere received with high
honors and returned home loaded with
gifts from foreign princes and rulers.
In 1880 General Grant was again
prominent candidate for the Presi
Dental nomination before the Repub
lican national convention at Chicago;
and the struggle that was made in his
behalf by 500 delegates under the lead
of Roscoe Oonkling constitutes one of
the most exciting chapters in the Po-
litioal history of the country. 1t re-
CURED 500 votes to choose a nominee,
and from the first to the thirty-siIth
and last ballot General Grants vote
varied but little from the historic BOG.
On the thirty-sixth ballot James A.
Garfield was nominated by the follow
ing vote: 'fGarfeld, 899; Grant, 306;
Blaine, AZ; Washburne, 5; Sherman, 8.
In the death of Gen. Grant the
country loses a great and magnani-
nous soldier, whose steadfast duty 10
his COUNTRY has won for him a place
in history second to none. The whole
nation Joins hands in mourning the
loss of this great and good man, and
the sympathies of the American Peo-
pie go forth spontaneously to the be-
reaved family, and the grave will close
soon over all that was mortal Of this
great soldier, but the luminous record
left behind as heritage to his eoun-
try and as a guide to his children will
ever live in the minds of the Amer
lean people, for to no man is this
country more indebted for patriotic
duty than to Ulysses Simpson Grant.

KHKH1sD ON TME TRACK.
ahe Bag TerrIlsly n.nnelsa:

"
I On last Tuesday morning a man by
thename Of Mike Ryan, aged about ID or
so years, recently employed as section
hand on the Louisiana Western Railroad
at Sulphur Mine Station, in this parish,
was run over and instantly killed by
the west bound passenger train at Kay
osche Conlee, on the railroad bridge,
about two or three miles from town,
between the hours of and 4eo'elock,
literally tearing his body to pieces.
The head, heart, ono arm and one foot
was completely torn from the body,
and the entrails and portions of the
body were strewn about for a space of
20 feet or more on and under the
track, the lungs of the unfortunate
victim being found resting on a string
er of the bridge.
The evidence elected at the in-
guest, which was held by Judge ]. Y.
Moss, Tuesday, shows that the de-
ceased came to town during Monday,
and commenced drinking freely at Mr..
Alf. Bibeert's saloon at the depot, re-
naming around the depot and saloon
until a late hour Monday night, when
he left the place in company with
another man, intending, it is supposed,
to go to the nearest station house east
Of the depot
Being under the influence of liquor,
it is thought the unfortunate man
stopped on the bridge for rest, and
sitting down, stupor oyercame him
and he fell asleep, and the partner, if
he accompanied the deceased that tar,
leaving him, he became unconscious
and WAS left alone to suffer this most
horrible death.
On the arrival OF the train the Ell
gineer notified Mr.. Brooks that he
thought a man had been run over at
the place stated above, from the ap-
pearance of the blood on the "cow-
catcher" and requested that the fact
be telegraphed to the Division Super
intendent's Office at Houston.
The finding of the body and the con-
firmation of the killing WAS made by
section hand, who happened to be
travelling along the track early Tues
day morning on his way from the de-
pot to the first station house east of
town, who on his arrival gave the
information, which WAS Immediately |
transmitted back to the depot and the
authorities notified by Mr. Brooks,
the railroad agent at this place,
through Constable Harman.
Immediately on Judge Moss being
informed of the killing he summoned
jury in town and they proceeded to
the depot, and Mr., J. T. Brooks the
agent Of the railroad company, placed |
an engine and car at their disposal to
convey them to the scene of the acct
dent, which was cheerfully accepted,
and the Judge and jury proceeded i'm
mediately on their journey. Upon
arriving they viewed the body, gath
cred up the scattered remains of the
deceased, placed them in a sheet and
returned to the depot, where such evil
denee as could be gathered was taken.
After viewing the body and the tax
ing of evidence, Judge Moss had the
remains placed in coffin and buried
in the Corporation graveyard.

THE NEW PLANNING MILL

As further evidence Of the growth
of our town, and sign of future pros
perity, we make mention again to-day
of the establishment in our midst of a
first-eIass planning mill by our wide
awake friends, the Caleasieu Lumber
Company, who succeed by purchase to
the plant of machinery lately operated
30 long at Beaumont, Texas, by Mr.. J.
L. Williams.
This is an enterprise that has long
been needed in Lake Charles, and our
contractors and builders need not now
send off for their sash, doors, blinds,
fancy work, mouldings, etc. The outfit
at present consists of five planers,
three resaws, moulding machine, turn,
ing lathe, scroll saw, edger, mortiser,
tenoner, sand pspering and window
frame machines.
1t is the intention Of this company
to add very soon a full and complete
complement Of machines for making
all sizes of sash, doors and blinds
They have recently erected fine two
story building 50x1oO feet for theil
planning mill, with an engine room
22x92, and boiler house 22x44 feet
The railroad track runs just in from
of the mill, giving easy losdingafscili
ties for dressed lumber. The track il
covered over by high shed, beyond
which is a large, airy shed 30xl00 fee
for the storage Of dressed stock.
To insure safety from fire the boileI
house Of this mill is placed 100 fee
off from the main building, and all tht
buildings are covered with iron roof
ing. The mill is located near the wa
ter's edge SO that sehooners can loat
without difficulty. Firstcclass mel
have been engaged to run the mill
and we bespeak for the new enter
prise the success it 60 richly deserves

Blind StasGers--Ats Symptoms
and Treatment.

The following is given ms by one
who has had some experience in the
treatment of this unusually fatal dis
ease. The first symptom of blind
staggers is manifested by a disposition
on the part of the animal effected TO
60 round in a circle, with the head
considerably drawn to the right or left,
as the case may be, and the turning
round seems to be oceasioned by this
drawing of the muscles, and no ionbt
gave rise to the name Of blind stag
gers, as the animal seldom ever stag
gers until the disease has about done
its work. This disease is no doubt
similar to cold in the head, as the sue
cess of the following remedies prove:
First, take strong pepper sance and
inject up the nostrils. BE saTe to
throw it as far back into the head as
posslpie' III yon cannot succeeu IN
doing this without, had better throw
the animal violent action is only
the better as the object is to break
loose the matter, which has acenmu,
lated behind the porous bone, which
lies just in front of the brain. No
doubt camphor orhartshorn would be
good. Another remedy is to split the
skin about the center Of the forehead
and insert small quantity Of blister
flies, elosing,the skin again 50 as ia
produce a running sore. THIS is q
good remedy, but slower than the first
When the disease is among gentle
stock, so that it can be done, make q
fec use Of smoke from tar and feath-
ers as a preventative. Smoke each
animal At least twice each day, and
you will doubtless arrest the disease
