The Day of the Big Exposition Will
Soon be Upon Us.
just one month from to-day, on
the 81 day of this month, the Seventh
Annual Fair of the Louisiana State
Fair and Shreveport Exposition will
throw open its gates to the public,
that they many witness sights aud
scenes of entertainment, inaugursted
under stringent financial circum-
stances.
There has been much depression
IN the various channels of business,
but the management have met and
overcome them, and will give Fair
which will be creditable to the State.
Our business men have done good
service in assisting the directors, but
merchants should now lose no time
in securing space for exhibits.
here should be no dearth of home
displays when the opening day comes,
and visitors throng in to see our well
advertised show.
Shreveport and Caddo parish
should take special pains to add to
the beauty aud strength of this COM
ing exposition. Much will be ex-
pected from the citizens thereof, and
if there is laxity of any kind on their
part, it will initiate strongly against
them and their territory.
Again we urge upon our mer-
chants to move forward promptly,
and make arrangements for exhibits
Let every one feels it his bounden
duty to make it a success, and fee
that if it is not, he is responsible fol
the failure. When such sentiment
as this has been established in this
town, then our hopes of becoming
metropolis may become a realization
but not otherwise

AFTER TWELVE YEARS SERVICE.

AFTER TWELVE YEARS SERVICE.
Last Saturday evening closed Mir.
James Nj. martins official career, for
this parish for the time being, at
least.
II was with much disappointment
that the bench, bar and citizens
learned that the Inauguration OF Col:
John S. Young as sheriff would
mean the retirement of MIR. }. M.
Martin, the faithful deputy, who, for
more than twelve years had filled
that position acceptably to all the
parish. His friends had been led to
believe that his efficiency and polite
al services would entitle them his re-
tention, and this the retiring sheriff,
though of opposite fractional belief,
would have done; it was therefore q
surprise that the dictum had gone
forth from our own side of the house,
that he must be made stand aside Tor
others. Against those others, The
PRoaREs s has no word OF complain To-
for the spirit which actuated the die
tation it has much. and does not hes
tate to declare that unless its intol-
erance is broken, the young men oil
ambition will be forced 10 either
leave the parish or 60 in with some
other party. -.
In his retirement, Mr.. Martin car.

launched from the shipbuilding yards
in the kingdom for the navy nineteen
vessels of nearly l0S.00O tons, the cost
when completed being e5. .S54, ,5S7, while

were only 81, $50 tons, and worth e3 .250,-
GOO The principal vessels have, of
course. been launched from the royal
dockyards, from which eight vessels of
68, 100 tons were foated, as compared
with eight vessels of 90. $50 tous in the
previous year. The vessels launched for
the navy in 1891 include three immense
battle ships of 14,15O tons, having twin
engines to give them speed of 171s
knots.
They viii each have four elton guns,
which can easily penetrate twenty-five
inches of armor. These ships cost $780,
600 each. There were also three first
class cruisers of about 1880 tons, to
steam about twenty knots an hour
They viii each have two 22-ton guns.
These cruisers will cost e37O, 900 each.
The other vessels were small, high speed
cruisers, each costing about ESQ, ,OO0
They will travel twenty knots an hour,
and are made to keep at sea for long
periods on foreign stations.-M

A Georgia Mule mime.

Squire Spudler has just discovered an
extensive bay mule mine on his farm
near here. The squire was fishing down
by the creek near where an old Indian
mine was worked for mules, and he was
attracted by sound resembling the
bray of a mule coming from a little cave
in the bank Of the stream. The squire
commenced a search and soon discovered
the ears of mule protruding above the
soft earth near the water. Work was at
once commenced and several fine speci-
mems were unearthed. The squire's SON
in-law started with one fine specimen to
mineralogist's to have it assayed. but
it bucked and jumped with him, and,
after sending him off on a voyage of dis
covery toward the planet Saturn, went
on grazing spree in the adjacent COW
lot. 1t is believed that the mine will
prove very profitable, and fodder and
corn have advanced to fifty dollars per
front foot.-Calhoun (Ga.) Times.

4 Terrible N1istake.

A celebrated German physician was
once called upon to treat an aristocratic
lady, the sole cause Of whose complaint
was high living and lack of exercise.

his medical advice ran thus:

park foron hour. then drink cup of
tea.g ehen walk another hour and take a.
cup of chocolate. Take breakfast at 6. -.
Her con,IiSica improved visibly. until
one morning the carriage of the baroness
was seen to approach the physicians =

The patient dashed up to the doctors
Office. and on his appearing on the scene
she gasped out. "Oh. doctor. took the

The Hungarian woman likes to eat
well, takes naturally to swimming, dane
ing, gymnastics, and has not the least
objection to being admired. Although
not specially inclined to sentimental eff
fusiveness, in one sense of the term, she
may, in moments of love and passion,
give profoundly stirring expression to
her emotions; she may clothe her senti-
ment in words of enrapturing naivete,
drawn from the depths of the national
temperament, if it does not find utter
ance in the all expressive ''jai," whis-
pered in the acme of ecstasy, accom-
panied by an inefably blissful glance.
This is true of the SO called girls of

until the doors are closed for the night.
Recently he rugged up a burglar alarm
and placed wires under the mating in
the hallway. Mr.. McMurty returned
about 10 o'clock and was startled by
peculiar noises in different parts of the
house. He investigated, but could not
find the cause. About o'clock in the
morning he awakened his boy, who dis
closed the plot and was permitted to re-
turn to bed
One cold day recently young McMurty

soon after attempted to go up the alley
with his wagon, but failed in the at

wires from his battery with the side
doorknob and turned on fifteen volts

>. The shock of earthquake felt at this
place was also felt, though not SO per-
ceptably, at Portland. Thecenter of the
disturbance seems to have been in the
mountains, and at Knapp's Landing, on
the lower Columbia the shock was quite
heavy.
The Dalles has been a very quiet place
the last few days, go far as people on the
streets are concerned; but the number
of mail orders for goods keep pace with
lively times. Farmers are altogether
too busy to come to the citv this fine
weather, and prefer to pay express
charges on the necessaries of life.
Judge Bradshaw is putting in the time
quite proftably at chambers, during the
recess of the circuit court, in disposing
of numerous suits in equity, some of
which have been upon the calendar for
years. The causes are not very interest
ing subjects to the general reader, hence
reporters do not spend any considerable
time lettering about the court house.
As work progresses in the publication
of the new electionlaw voters will discov-
effhat there is something more to do in
Oregon this year, about election times,
than merely walk to the polls, ballot in
hand, as formerly. Read the law care
fully, and preserve it for future reference.

Sandy Olds, a gambler, who it will be
remembered murdered Emil Webber in
Portland about three years ago, was on
Saturday released from the Oregon PEN
itentiary, having served the sentence of
the court, one year, after being con-
victed OF murder in the first and second
trials which he had, and convicted on a
verdict of manslaughter ON third trial.
"Dr." True the fake tooth carpenter,
bogus mineral salt peddler and all round
blk, has had his pedigree pretty well
written up in the Walla WalIa Journal
and the massive brazen cheek of the
''doctor" has grown preceptably paler.
The Journal charges him with the crime
of abortion, committed twice on the
companies him and dares him to sue the
paper for libel.
Fishermen and fish dealers should
bear in mind that the law is now in full
force and effect which prohibits the
catching and selling of salmon between
March 1 and April 10. Last year the
commissioners did not enforce the law
by making arrests, but merely advised
all persons found fishing to desist. This
season the law will be carried out, and
any person who violates it will be pun
ished. This law is general in its appli-
cation, and includes those who purchase,
sell, or transport fish, as well as those
who catch. Salmon caught before March
and placed in the cold storage can be
sold without incurring liability. Any
violation of this law will be looked
closely after by the fish commissioners.
