large theater parties were there in his

resident of this city, was kindly remem-
bered by her friends in front. and in her
singing of sally in Our Alley" she was

The little four year old son of Mr..
]. j. McCann, who lives here, was so
badly burned last Wednesday even
ing, that it died from the effect this
evening at 2 o'clock. It was playing
under the house with some matches
that it had procured, when its cloth
ing caught. Mrs. McCann hearing
its screams, ran to its rescue, and in
pntting out the fire, received some
very severe burns on her hands.
Some of the farmers in the neigh
borhood of this place are making ar
rangements to try an Irish potato
crop for profit. MIR. L. T. Sanders
has been corresponding with some of
the railroad officials in regard to
freight rates by the car load, and
with some of the Northern markets
as to the prices. Their replies are
very satisfactory. 1t will beat cotton
badly at maximum freights and min
imum prices, and give us our money
first of june.
Farmers are beginning to realize
the fact that they can't live on cotton
at five cents pound.
Mr.. W. L. Sibley, of Lewisville,
Ark, in company with young MIR.
Terrell, and Miss Owsley, came down
on the train yesterday morning. At

Sibley and Miss Lila Cavett were
joined in the holy bonds of matrimo-

ioyed the occasion very much, es-
pecially the magnificent refreshments

Grand Jury Report.

To the Hon. j. Z. Boone, JWdge of
the End Judicial District Court, hold
ing Session in and for the Parish of
Bossier, State Of Louisiana: We,
your Grand Jury beg leave to SUBJ
NIT to your Honor this, our final
report. After being sworn and en-
panelled and ably charged by your
Honor, We repaired to our room to
consider, deliberate and diligently
enquire into all such matters as might
properly be brought before us. We
have dispatched business as rapidly
as was compatible with public inter-
est, but have been somewhat retard-
ed in transacting business on account
OF the difficulty in getting witnesses
before us promptly.
We have taken up about 50 cases,
and have ignored 26, as we consider
ed them trivial, and the evidence in
sufficient to make cases that would
lead to convictions. We have found
21 true bills, and we are satisfied that
there is diminution in crimes of
grave character.
We find the public roads are in a
bad condition, and we recommend to
the Police Jury that they furnish a
new system to work them under.
We have examined the Offices of
our efficient Sheriff, Mr.. A. r. Thomp-
son, and our competent clerk, Mr.. B.
A. Kelly, and found both Office and
books in as good order as circum-
stances would permit. Also, the
Office of our able Parish Treasurer is
in excellent order, as well as his
books.
We have also left charges undone
for the next Grand Jury to investi-
gate, on account of witnesses who
failed to appear.
|. The prisoners have been we'll taken
care Of.
We wish to extend to yonr Honor
and District Attorney our thanks for
able and courteous advice and as
sistance in our arduous duties, and
to our Sheriff and Clerk, and their
deputies for the prompt manner in
which they responded to our calls
and necessities.
We now ask that this report be re-
ceived, and that we be discharged
from further labors at this term of
Court.

THE WORLDS FAIR BUILDINGS
AND GROUNDS FORMAL
LY DEDICATED
Amidst a Scene OF Grandeur and
Enthusiastic Patriotism.

October alst, Columbus day, was eel
ebrated at Chicago in all the glorious
magnifccnce that was contemplated
by the Worlds Fair projectors. After
procession of the notables in the city
from the Auditorium to the fair
grounds, in which the militia and
United States troops took prominent
part, the dedicatory exercises were
commenced in the manufacturers
building. One hundred and fifty thous-
and persons were gathered under the
wide spreading roof of the greatest
building ever erected when the "Co-
lumbar March" was given. Bishop
Fowler pronounced the invocation
and Director General Davis made
short Introductory address, after
which he introduced Mayor Washburn,
who ext, n led the freedom of the city
to the que It's of the day. Mrs lie
Moline read selection from the dedi-
catory ode, and after formal presenta-
tic n Of wreaths and medals to master
artists of cons truction, Mrs. Palmer,
president OF the board of lady manag-
crs, addressed the body upon The sub
,ect, 1.-THE Work of the Board of Lady
Managers.
Mrs. Palmer spoke at length, after
which she turned to Vice President
Morton and asked the representative of
the nation to dedicate the buildings
and grounds to humanity. The vice
president responded in a short address,
closing as follows: I'm the name of
the Government of the United States, /
hereby dedicate these buildings and
their appurtenauces, intended by the
congress of the United States for the
use of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton, to the worlds progress in art, in
science and in manufactured dedicate
them to humanity. God save the Uni
ted States of America.
Il Henry Watterson was then introduced
and delivered the formal dedicatory
Grafton. He received grand ovation
and his address was worthy of the pol
ished Kentucky orator.
The chorus of five thousand voices
sang the "Star Spangled Banner" and
Chauncey Depew was presented and
delivered the Column bian Grafton. He
was greeted with enthusiasm, and like
his predecessor the great after dinner
tdlhcT Lut Vi HIS lllt. II
was twilight as Mr.. Depew concluded
his Grafton and after Cardinal Gibbons
offered the closing prayer, selection
from Beethoven was rendered by the
grand chorus, and when Rev. III. c.
Cook of Philadelphia pronounced the
benediction the multitude slowly dis
persed.
AT night the pyrotechpic displays at
the various parks were unsurpassed in
magnificence. At the Auditorium the
Columbian Congress, the purely intel
lectual part of the exposition, was in
augurated by Archbishop Ireland.
From the vice president OF the United
States down list of brainy and dis
tinguished people comprised the mag.
nificent gathering. Addresses were
made by various officers of the exposi-
ton, and after the singing of "Ameri-
ca" by the entire audience, and the
pronouncing of the benediction by DR..
Harper, president of Chicago Universe.
ty, the audience dispersed.
