understood and the most grossly mis-
represented of any section of country
10 the Union. At it is situated on
the Gulf of Mexico, and in close
proximity 10 the greatest river on
the continent, most people conclude
that il is low, wet, swanpy region
"A succession OF deep jungles,
tangled swamps, marshes. lakes,
sloughs, cane and cypress breakes
throughout its entire extent; where
as, healthier by far than the NORTH.
WEsT-fanned by the sea breeze, it ID
the land Of enchanting scenery, of
beautiful bayous and CLASSY lakes
and bays, splendid prairies, noble
forests and pleasant skies, the land
OF flowers, of beauty and Of health.
ln point of climate and soil, South
west Louisiana yields precedence to
no country in America; as to the
character of her people, their hospi-
tally is proveruial.. Religious, edu.
cational and social institutions found
an early and permanent footing here.
Everywhere are evidences of success.
Yet despite this inviting state of
things there are many splendid acres
unoccupied-many rich, ezhaustless
fields nncnltivated. 1t is seen with
regret that thousands of emigrants
whose best interests lie in this direc.
tion are turning their faces toward
the arid and unproductive regions Of
Western Kansas, Texas and Nehras-
ka. 1t is one Of the principal objects
Of this work to exhibit the attrative.
ness Of Southwest Louisiana as a
place of permanent residence. That
the widest advantage ia the way of
immigration may be secured, copies
of this work will be sent to the lead.
ing libraries and other public resorts

Il is another principal object OF
this work to preserve local history,
and to place in enduring form npons
the pages of history a record Of the
lives of those citizens who have re.
1ected the greatest renown upon
their descendants and have shaped
with such skill and grandeur the des-
tiny Of the State. Believing that this
plan will meet the hearty co-opera..
tion and assistance Of the people Of
Southwest Louisiana, the publishers
here outline their system of work.
A chapter on. the resources and q
brief history will be given of each Of
the following parishes St. Landry,

Mary, Calcasieu, Acadia and Yer.

liable Land and Products; Pioneer
Settlement. Organization Of Parishes;
Subsequent History, Military His
tory; Towns Their origin and
growth; Courts: The Bench and
Bar; Medical Societies, Schools;
Churches, and Social Organizations.
In order to preserve family history
and give practical conception OF
social.a business conditions, there
will be added to the above select
number of biographical and business
sketches and family genealogies Of
citizens of such parishes.
The book will be printed in at

with gil. edges. will be bound in full

A Big Barn Consumed.

Last night about Q o'clock residents
here in the city were attracted by quite
a blaze in the east, and were for some
time unable to locate the fire. 1t was
learned by telephone, however, that the
brilliant light-up of the heavens in that
direction was caused by the burning
OF tho big barn opposite Green
wood cemetery, and owned by John
Goshorn. 1t wigs frame building 60

together with large lot OF hay and
feed. A number of farming implements
belonging to Auctloneer Hervey were
also consumed. There was little water
available, and little effort was made to
extinguish the flames. 1t is thought
the IRE was started by tramp who had
been sleeping in the barn of late. There
is no insurance.

THE Carlsbad TRADEMARK DE
OISION.
An Austrian City sueing an American
Citizen.

The spectacle Of a city Of the Aus
train Empire sueing a citizen OF the
United States is a unique one, but
above this, the question of trademark
right is Of wide interest. The City OF
Carlsbad is the only municipal corpora
ton in the world having the right under
patent to engage in manufacturing and
selling goods, and the privilege has
been theirs for several hundred years.
They have manufactured and sold va
riety of articles, but the most important
has been developed during the past fifty
years-to wit, the Carlsbad mineral
waters and Carlsbad sprudel salts. The
operation of the wells and the sale OF
the waters and salts has made the name
Carlsbad famous, and naturally the
temptation TO outsiders to appropriate
il was great.
So many people are now making
Carlsbad water and Carlsbad sprudel
salts some with the addition OF the
word ial"-that it is very evident
that the belief is prevalent that the
name of a city is not Legitimate
one to be used as trademark. But
the case of the City of Carlsbad, operat-
ing as merchant in its own behalf,
and under letters patent, is quite unique
and not comparable with anything else
in the mercantile world.
The decision Of Judge Blodgett, in
favor Of the plaintiffs, is no doubt q
surprise to many. He is very clear upon
the point that no one but the plaintiffs
have the right touse the word Carlsbad,
and that even the addition Of the word
"artiflcisl" will not serve the defendant
ito escape the charge Of wrongfully
avsiling himself OF compliments name
and reputation" he grants an intunc-
ton against w. T. Thackeray & Co., OF
Chicago, enjoining them from selling or
offering for sale any preparation OF salt
of which the word Carlsbad forms a
part Of the name. 1t is safe to predict
that this sweeping decision will cause
the changing of some hundreds OF labels
in this country.-Ou, Paint and Drug
Reporter.

did not arrive there, and a protracted
search of the city failed to reveal her
whereabouts.
Up to ten o'clock last evening she had
not been heard of, and it is feared she
has met with some mishap. When she
left home she had a small bundle.
Mrs. Stauver is ffty-nine years OF
age, and is quite lame in one OF her
limbs, which has had some effect, 1t Is
feared, on her mind. She wanted to 90
over to her sons on Monday, but was
dissuaded. Yesterday morning, how
ever, she concluded she would go, and
taking small bundle and an umbrella
she departed. When last seen she was
going down Main street. Her relatives
and friends, in company with the police,
kept up search during most OF the
night, but she could hot be found, and
no trace of her is known. 1t is the
opinion of the family, however, that she
missed her way and wandered out OF
town.

Complained about the Police.

Last evening about eight o'clock,
delegation Of FIVE gentlemen, who had
charge Of sand boat, at the foot OF
Thirty-Fifth street, came to the City
Hall and complained that Officer Dew
lin had subjected them to the indignity
OF a search OF their persons, he being
after a revolver which had been fired in
the vicinity of the boat. They stated
a number Of boys were loafing about
the boat, and that one Of them had
fired the shots. When the officers came
the boys threw the pistol away, and 1t
was afterwards found on the beach.
They were indignant at the treatment
they received. The Chief explained to
them that the officer must have believed
they had the pistol, and promised to
look into the matter.
