A Pure Blood Medicine.

Bad blood is the first cause OF much
Ill health. 1t affects the brain, the
nerves. the heart, the lungs, the liver
and the kidneys. Every organ of the
body becomes debilitated aud there is
soreness and distress in every portion
washed by this great river of life when
filled with poisonous impurities. A
true blood medicine will therefore fire.
quently restore the invalid to health
and strength when all else fails. Such
medicine is
DIR. John Bulls Sarsarparilla.
By reDlenishing the blood with vitality,
and cleaning it of every impurity the
broken down constitution becomes con-
valescent and begins to rebuild at once.
Instead Of growing weaker and moro de-
bilitated, one becomes stronger in every
part, and feels and elasticity of spirits

Major W. Marsh Kasson, chief
of the Bureau of Public Comfort
of the Worlds Fair in Chicago,
has inaugurated a plan for the
housing of visitors which ought
to work admirably. The plan
will enable intending visitors to
secure accommodation before
leaving home. In an interview
Mayor Kasson said:
The utmost publicity will be
given to the plans of the depart
ment, and widespread distribution
made of specially prepared maps,
diagrams and descriptive matter,
by which the people at large will
be reliably informed respecting
desirable locations, with full par
ticulars as to character and cost
of rooms. With this officiel in
formation before them prespec-
tive visitors can then ip consulta-
ton at home, in the quiet of their
own surroundings, leisurely and
intelligently decide on the selec-
ton of such Accommodations as they
may desire, and then by renting
the price thereof direct to this de-
partment receive a deposit certi-
ficate which will secure the reser-
walton Of rooms and cover cost of
same for the date Of expected Wis
it. The department is prepared
to arrange with responsible par
ties having rooms to rent to carry
a full description and price on its
official register and undertake to
represent the owner in letting
rooms with authority to issue de-
posit certificates. These official
certificate will be issued by the
department to cover and secure to
boaders certain rooms for certain
days. They will be sold on ap-
plication any time in advance, and
the owners of rooms duly notified
and held to a reservation, the GER
tifcates to be received by them in
payment of room rent. The certi-
ficates can be made transferable,
but if from any cause the rooms
remain unoccupied during the
time for which they have been en-
gagged the loss must necessarily
fail on the certificate holder in
stead of landlord.

The Breanx Bridge Union
speaks very encouragingly of the
prospects of securing a railroad to
run from Arnaudville to st. Mar
tinville, passing at Breaux Bridge.
The Union says Prof. Knapp of
Lake Charles and a surveyor are
making the survey to locate the
road. If this road can be secur-
ed. it will in a very short time,
develop the immense resources of
the upper Teche which are now
dormant and make it one of the
most aourishing and prosperous
section of the state. The people
of that section have every reason
to be iubilant over the prospect
of immediate railroad connection
with the world. This road will
be equally beneficial for st. Mar
tinville, and if necessary, our peo-
pie should join hands with our
friends Of Breaux Bridge and Ar
naudville and push the enterprise
to finish. If the people put it
in their heads to have the rail
road, they can have it, the only
thing necessary is to encourage
the movement and give it all their
help and assistance and they will
have it. If it is within your
grasp, get it.
