No It twill Not Work.

That one should aspire to Office no one
can object, but to constitute oneself as a
slate-rnaker for all the offices smells of
bossism which Independent Democrats
should disprOve-and, We are confident,
will not tolerate.-Reveille.
The bosses have had their days. and
this is their last effort, which will send
them to their political graves. The peu-
pie will no longer stand any such rack.
ct. neither will they allow the few polis
iiciaus to lead them like cattIp.

Since the steamboats, of the Southern
Pacific Railroad Co., have ceased run
ming to st. Martinville, owing to OBJ
structiOns to navigation in the bayoh;
the freight along the Teche, between
that town and New Iberia, has been tax
en- by the small boat "Octavia'' to the
former town and there transferred 10
the rail road. The Shortening Of dis
tances is an established principle with
rail roads, and this object in view In the
instant case, wharf is being built at
this place, just above Trainor's sash and
door factory and the grade of the switch
running down 10 the bayou lowered, 90
as to facilitate the handling Of freight,
and hereafter the "Octavia" will unload
at this wharf.-New iberia Enterprise.
The Railroad people expect to handle
larger amount Of freight between st.
Msrtinville and New iberia this year
thai they did last yeHr, and In order to
do that with one boat. have made ar
arrangements at New iberia to unload
at that place all the freight on the down
trip and unload at this place all thu
freight taken OH the up trip. In THU
manner small boat will be sble 4
handle the freight Of that section. A
new and more powerful engine has beer
placed here for the incline, to facilitat.
the handling Of the large freight whicI
will pass here this season.

 WITHOUT KNIFE OR FIRE.

Mir. $. F.. Carmichael, prominent citizen of Henrietta. Texas. writes: II wish to tell you what Swift's Specific has done for my wife. Several years ago there appeared a splotch on the corner of her nose which gradually increased
 in size, and became quite painful; on washing her face it would fre- quently bleed. The doctors called it cancer, and advised that it be re- moved by the knife or burning, stating that it never would do to neglect it. My wife refused to have it cut or burned, but at the same time it continued to grow worse. After a time she commenced taking $. $. s., which effected an entire cure. She used a half dozen small sized bottles. We both think there is no medicine in the world that will equal Swift's Specific, and we would like for all sufferers to know the benefit she has received from it." $. $. s. cures blood diseases of this character by forcing out the poisonous germs and the poison also. A valuable book on blood and skin diseases will be mailed to all ap- plicants free. Address,

THE EYE.

Is the most delicate, complex organ of the body, yet no part of the phys ical system suffers greater neglect. How few think of the value of good eyes? Of those who wear spectacles, how few have them to fit, and how few know that an imperfect fit in- iurcs the eyes? We have for sever- al years made speciality of the eye, it's study and treatment, and of testing and fitting spectacles, by the aid of the Dioptric eye metres, the finest and most exact instrument, of the kind in the world. We guaran- tee a fit, and perfect satisfaction and when this is done with good peb- bles, you have got life time fit. Guess work in fitting, will not do. If the fit is not perfect, the eye suf fers injury as long as such spex are used We can remedy all defects, that can be remedied by the aid of glasses. No charge for testing. of all kinds, and at the lowest prices.

THE SOM \

TIE SOMA In the Aryan reli- PLANT. zion the chief offer ing to the gods was the fomented juice of the Soma or Moon plant, which, being strong drink, gave the new excitement to those who par took of it, and was believed to inn part power to the gods. It was be- lieyed, moreover, that it wrought miracles, and for this reason, per haps, it afterwards became the chief god of the Hindus. In q vedic hymn the worshiper says.
 'We've Quafted the soma bright,
 and are immortal growd;
 We've entered into light,
 And all the gods have known.
 What mortal now can harm,
 Or foeman vcx Us more?
 Through thee beyond alarm,
 Immortal God! we soar"
 No such power as this is attrib- uted to any plant at the present time, and yet many of the cures per formed by $. S. S., purely vegeta- hle remedy, seem almost to border on the miraculous. In con tagious blood poison scrofuIa, skin diseases, some forms of cancers, etc, it is the remedy for excellence.
