CURED in Juac, 1888. at slaptar. The
lava in some places was 600 feet deep
and 200 feet wide, which flowed like
great river toward the sea. One stream
actually reached the ocean. 1t was in
full activity for ten weeks, and contin-
ued gradually dimiaishiag for six
months more. The lava was over two
years ia cooling. Ono Of the lava
streams was fifty miles long, twelve to
fifteen miles wide and 600 feet deep.
Most Of the country for 100 miles from
the crater in every direction was cover
ed by lava, pumice, sand or ashes. The
elected matter is estimated to have bsen
greater than tho entire bulk Of Mont

To help the right side is not only COM
mendable in general point of view, but
is judiciOus and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf of the right side of

region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by HOstetter's Stomach

Is 1t Not a Dream!

a Breaux Bridge correspondent to tn
New Iberia Enterprise, who must hav,
awaken from a most delightful dream
expresses himself i'm the following mos
encouraging words:
MIR. +. NJ. Welsh. the real estate agent
of Jeannerette. has been here several
times lately; he has been so much taken
up with the country. that he has largely
invested in land and is preparing to in
duce many of our northwestern friends
to take advantage of the good bargains
that they can make. lie speaks even of
establishing newspaper in this town
this is certainly needed above all; is il
! not to be wondered at, that a town of so
long standing with population Of near
ly a thousand souls should be without its
local paper? Such sheet would tell of
all the needs of the country, of the i'm
mense resources that are yet undevelOped
and which are calling for more energy
and vim.
Yes we admit that Breaux Bridge is a
thriving town, and needs its local paper :;
but. gentlemen, do not depend upon the
enterprise and energy of Mr.. Welsh to
establish a paper in your midst; but let
your business people show their enter
prise and energy by establishing and
maintaining their own paper.
We had no idea that Breaux Bridge
had population of more than about GOO;
but we are more than satisfied to learn
that she has n thOuslud
Here is where comes the delicious
dream:
Brea,IX Bridge is the central point of
the parish of st. Martin. both in regard
to the ground and population; its power
Is daily growing and there is no doubt
that 1t Is destined at no very distant day
to become the seat of the Court House.
We understand very well that our good
friends of st. Martinsville will do all i'm
their power to keep it where it is. and
should we be in their place, we would
act exactly in the same way, but the To-
cation of central points is due, not so
much to the efforts of men as to the ma
tural force of things. However. should
this problem ever present itself to be
solved, we sincerely hope that it will be
done in way so friendly that no back
ground shall be left for any animosities
whatever.
Well, we promise our friend that if
ever, as he says, the problem presents
itself to be solved, it will be in friendly
way.

st. Martinsville.

Away from the busy world, on the
banks OF the clear and placid Bayou
Teche, winding in Central Louisiana,
through the land of Evangeine, is the
quiet and somewhat secluded though not
by far unknown town of st. Martinsville,
the home of people, who, in Kindness
and hospitality are not surpassed.
You here find old creole families, the
pride of our Louisiana, with all the
same customs and manners of one hun
dred years ago. You are here welcomed
with smiles by all and the doors and
portals of every home and heart opened
to you. Here you see the creole youths
arrayed in all their gallantry combined
with chivalric and noble characters, and
the girls, maintaining the fOmer grace
and look together with the vir .ues
an qualities Of their mothers, can fear
lessly and proudly lift their heads with
any other people.
Thus, my friends, is your little town
made beautiful:
And my most earnest wish is that you
may continue climbing higher and
higher, and make st. Martinsville shine
like bright star in the history of Loui-
siana.
Yours Truly,

Convention of Northern Men.

Col. Geo. MOOreman, President of the
State immigration Association, has made
arrangement to hold convention of
Northern men, now residing in Louisia-
na, in New Orleans, at Grunewald Hall.
on Tuesday the 7th. day of August.
The object Of this convention is to OBJ
tain the views and ideas of those new set
tiers, and for them to make known to
their northern friends, who are now
looking to better their conditions, by
seeking homes in more favorable china
tes than those they now habitate, in Or
der to attract their attention towards
Louisiana; and, it seems to us, that it
would be the proper time for this parish
to at least send one or more delegates to
attend that convention, and make known
to those people, the immense advantages
OF st. Martin parish, the quality and fer
tllity of our soil, the salubrity of our eli
mate; and the kindness and hospitality
of our people towards strangers.
We have on every side, and in every
section of our blessed parish, vast a
mounts Of uncultivated land, which, if
transformed into small farms, with in
telligent and labOriOus people to cultiva-
te them, would in very short time, be
the happy homes of useful and desirable
immigrants.
immigration in this parish would
tend to increase the taxable property,
which would greatly enhance the value
real estate, and at the same time would
reduce the taxes, and would relieve the
people from the burden of heavy taxation.
immigration is the present need of our
parish, we can have immigrants if we
want, let us have them.

THE WICHITA FOUNDRY AND MACHINE
SHOP

Mr.. James Fulmer, who it will be re-
membered recently bought the Mcfarland
foundry on Wichita street between Doug
las avenue and First street, has made some
decidedly valuable Improvements The
establishment is known as the Wichita
Foundry and Machine Shop with plant
costing over $4,000. Tho present owner,
Mr.. Fulmer, spent number of years In
the foundry business at his former home
nearer Philadelphia. He is well known
in the city having been here oyer six years
engaged in general blacksmithing work
On West Douglas where he established 4
reputation as being good business man
and gained an extensive acquaintance
with the business men of the city.
The foundry department is supplied
with cupola with four thousand pound
capacity. The casting room is fifty by thirty
feet. In the machine shop is all the ma
chinery found in first class establishments.
The steam hammer gives one hundred
and fifty strokes per minute Of four thous-
and pounds each. The iron turning lathe
is one of the new additions and is one of
the finest to be found IN Kansas foundry.
Mr.. Fulmer reports business quite good
and is contemplating the purchasing of
additional machinery in keeping with the
demands of business

THAT SCGARQUESTiON.

Mr. Emil Avon Schweinitz, the govern
ment chemist, who has been In charge at

ington. Mr.. S. estimates that the sorghum
sugar question is no longer one Of specula-
ton or of uncertainty, farther than the
possible increased per centage of granulat-
ed sugar to be realized. As for southwest
Kansas be says that without doubt this is
one Of the most favorable localities on the
continent for its development. He had
not analysed our soils. but they are pecu-
liar and but little understood, practically,
yet it is known that the cane grown west
of the Flint hills and south of the divide
that separates the Kaw and Arkansas is
superior in its sacharine supporting quail
tiles He says that the government chem
ist in charge at Sterling finds by close an
alysis and comparison that the standard
southern sugar cane is not superior in
sugar qualities to the cane of this section.
In answer to our question how far south
and west this superior cane would probab-
" be produced, he was not prepared to an
swer. but tor fifty miles in ali directions
from Wichita there was no question as to
the superior conditions for the develop
ment and maturing the sorghum sugar
cane. which conditions include altitude
above ocean leyel-soil, climate and season,
all of which appear to be here so perfectly
adapted TO the highest maturity Of the
sorghum plant.
