The Calcasieu Sugar Company, Lin.
tied, has bought thirty acres of land in
the Calcasieu Prairie, two and a half
miles from Lake Charles, and is now
greeting there a central sugar factory.
The whole building will be wood work,
covered with galvanized iron. The
foundations are nearly finished. Twen-
ty carpenters from New Orleans are
busy to get the frame work
ready. Niue machinery has already
arrived on the place. Two large arte-
sian wells will provide the factory with
about 100000 gallons of water per
twenty-four hours. The whole outfit of
the sugar house has been ordered from
Messrs. Edwards and Haubtman. of
New Orleans. The sugar house will be
ready on the first OF October. The Ca
pacity for this year will be 800 tons of
cane in "a hours, but the build
lngs are made large enough to increase
the capacity to 800 tons, and it is hoped

The most copious shower we have had
in town since March fell on Tuesday
night, but it was only sufficient to lay
the dust for few days. All the sur

believe, have been somewhat more for
tunate in that respect, and the crops
have been immensely benefited by the
partial though still insufficient show
ers.

Baton Rouge Advocate: The editor

be too good man for this earth, though
he has nearly reached that sublime
state, and We shall therefore not sup
plicate heaven to strike him with its
thnnders and translate him to an at
mosphere better suited to his piety and
purity. But he is certainly out of place
down among the alligators, bullfrogs
and mosq uitoes of Calcasieu and ought
to return to that better land from
wbenee be came to wicked Louisiana.
Our people do not want 3 rice-gerent of
the Almighty editing a newspaper in
the State, but prefer men OF common
mold who will tackle things in human
way. However, if the American editor
can make up his mind to stay among
the heather, we promise him the free
dom of the country, but beg that he
will not insist on being an offensive
missionary among us.

Grand Demonssr-tion AZ Topeka on Labor
Day--oaher Places Also Celebrate ln Be
coming style
ToPEEA, Kan, Sept s.-From a re-
viewing stand before Crawford's opera
house, the state officials, conspicuous
tsrday witnessed the best labor dem
ousHatiou ever seen in this city. It
was the first attempt since tho legisla-
turs made labor day a legal holiday
l. L Polk, national president of the
farmers alliance, and Gov James r.
Weaver, the man most Pre- mincntly
mentioned in connection with the PEG
pies party nomination for the presi-
dencys led the procession which the
state officials witnessed After the
thousand men who formed the labor
unions had passed, and the sixteen hun
dred men who are employed in
the Atchisou, Topeka s. Santa
Fe shops had gone, the various sub
alliances come to the front They had
houses Of wheat and corn and oats.
They carried spades and rsEes- They
rode bony horses and wore patches on
their trousers and sunaowers in their
hats and it seemed as if the procession
would never pass When at last tho
end came, Gen Weaver and Col Polk
were seen to turn q half mile away. Il
was the signal for a countsrmarch, and
back past the state reviewing stand
came the entire procession of farmers
and third party enthusiasts Nobody
could tell just how many men there
were in line, for the farmers have q
way of cutting corners and doubling
up for a demonstration that is marvel
GUS
From few minutes after 10 until II
o'clock the procession was winding
about. But the end OF the alliance pro
cessiou was never seen There were
women and boys and girls in it, but
there were enough voters to make the
politicians scratch their heads and
think. Gov. Humphrey is in AIussillon,
o., and conse quently did not witness
the display OF Kansas grain and fruit
and farmers. He was the first gov
ernor who ever issued a proclamation
suggesting that labor day be observed
as state holiday. In compliance with
the proclamation all the business
houses in the city closed last year.
Last winter the legislature made labor
day a legal holiday and in many parts
of Kansas the suudOwer was seen
in the parades-
The farmers did not offend the pro
prieties with offensive floats A silk
banner on which was inscribed, ga
government of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people shall not perish.

Borneo is the home of the orang-
outang, which, leaving out the genus
man, occupies the third place from the
highest in the animal kingdom. The
gorilla has the highest place, the Chin
panzee comes next in order then the
Orang. The males are as fond of fight
ing as are human roughs, and, like
them, bite off each others fingers and
lips.
They all show, in a humau-lilze way,
the emotions of pain, rage, satisfaction
and affection. Baby orangs range, as
human infants do, from good to bad
Some, when they are good, are very
good, indeed" and others, when they
are bad, are horrid." Mr. Hornaby,
the naturalist, took a baby oraug from
its dead mother, shot in the cause of
science, which had the temper of a
tiger.
An Orang's instinct is to seize and
bring an offending hand to its mouth,
that it may bite the member. This
baby orang, though only six months
old made so many attempts to put the
naturalist's hands up to its mouth that
he was obliged to tie its elbows togeth-
er behind its back.
Even then, when he was not watch
ing 1t, the orang rolled over and seized
the calf of his leg between his teeth
But for the hunting trousers and wooden
stockings the naturalist would have
lost a piece of his leg At last it relieved
the naturalist Of anxiety by dying. A
baby nEaHaE Of more gentle disposition
was brought to Mr. Horuabv with its
hand and feet bound
When he approached it instead of at
tempting to bite II whined softly and
rolled up its big brown eyes so appeal
ingly that the naturalist cut its bands
and placed it on pile of soft straw 1t
