The Raised Edge of a Cnin-

The smooth raised edge around the
face of modern coins, and inclosing the
device as frame incloses a picture, not
only adds a great deal 20 the beauty of
the piece, but serves a double utilitarian
pZrDQse, first to protect the designs from
wear, and second TO afford norlzontal
surface SO that the coins may be piled
up vertically one on top of another
without danger of topping over. AS
soon as the raised edge is worn from a
coin it loses its clear beauty of design
and fast degenerates into a mere char
acterless disk of metal.
Owing to the long rest which metallic
currency had in this country during the
reign of greenbacks and shinplasters
United States coins are remarkably
clear cut and well preserved. Even
coins minted before the war retain part
of the milling .-New York Sun.

IN MEMORY OF LESTER JAEGER.

We looked upon thy calm, sweet sleep
And said: All, wherefore should we weep?
why mourn because thy work is done,
The crown by thee so early won!
Thy life was brave and true and fair;
Thou hadst not learned the word DESPAIR:
For thee was love in every breast:
Thy life, and cen thy death, was blest.
o soul so full of music sweet.
What harmonies thy coming greet;
For US the sound of sobs and tears.
For thee the songs and welcome cheers.
But ye. within your home today,
Whence all that's bright was borne away,
What can say to give relief,
Or help you in your bitter grief?
Your hearts wild anguish well know,
You reel beneath the heavy blow;
And words to help you all are vain,
They seem mockery to your pain.
But, father, in your face, to-day:
1 saw look which seemed to say,
a stronger arm is round me thrown.
brayely bear, but not alone
All, mother, with your love so true.
No power is mine to comfort you,
For, as our pastor said today,
Man cannot help you: let US pray!'

jurgatory epithets upon two million

that Frazier was a natural product"
of Iowa civilization, nor that he was
educated for his crimes by the very
community that inflicted upon him a
violent death.

him of his highest beliefs, takes away
from him his most glorious hopes,

DON'T be Backward.

Modesty is commendable virtue,
but too much of it is a decided dis
advantage. The latter, however, is
far preferable, IN our estimation, to
some professional men of our ac-
quaintance whose hides and sensibil-
ities are so thick that the lance
OF sarcasm and contsmpt of men in
authority cannot reach vital or SEN
sitive spot. However, it is quite easy
to assume "a healthful, pleasurable
and popular medium which is capti-
vatIng. 1t is the latter class that we
would have the good people make of
themselves and then come to see us.
We are in the position now to be of
immense benefit to those who desire
the best for as little money as it can
be sold for. We haye in stock a
splendid assortment of goods usually
kept in the irst-class hardware houses
of the South. In fact we believe that
none of our competitors in North
Louisiana can compete with us in
quality or price of goods. We think
we have sufficiently demonstrated the
fact that hardware and agricultural
implements can be sold at rates
greatly reduced from the old price.
and brought the prices down and we
naturally think we are entitled to the
first consideration.
Come and examine our stock and
price our goods, and we feel assured
that we can make you a customer,

THE MEETING AT ALExANDEIA.

There was held at Alexandria, Sat
urday, a meeting whose influence
will no doubt be greatly felt in the
political affairs of our State. This
was a gathering of those members of
the press who appreciated the needs
Of reforms in our State government
and were willing to organize them
selves into an association, whose OBJ
ject and purpose should be to secure
them
Only five newspapers were present,
but they represented character and
individuality sufficiently strong to
thus form a nucleus of an organiza-
ton which will sweep the State and
put into practical { Grafton the need
full reforms of the C. ".
The organization, rs It now stands,
is small in numbers but eternal Truth
and Justice bids it onward while
Right and Honesty are inscribed on
its banner, all making it a power
whose magnetic influence will draw
to IFS standard all of the manly press
of our beloved Commonwealth.
Only five are on the roster now, but
at the next meeting, when a perma-
nent organization will be effected, we
shall expect to see this number com
pietely lost in insignifcance, numeri-
cally speaking, while the SIZE and
strength will cause sore misgivings to
be felt 10y the political demagogues
who desire to have the one-man
power perpstuatel in Louisiana.
Tho crusade has been inaugurated,
the camp fires lit, the field taken and
now every man must show his colors.
There is no middle grounds in this
He who will not rally to the standard
of reform viii be considered a follower
of the banner on which is inscribed
''Bossism," and will be numbered
with those who support the rule of
the politician. Therefore prepare for
war, brothers 'He that is not for
us, is against us" is divine doctrine
and is sufficient authority for us to
act on. The war is on and to the death.
Let those who favor freedom, indie
pendence, manliness, right come out
on the side of reform and inscribe
their names on the banner of chivalry.

CRIME DECREASING IN CADDO
AT LEAST THE GRAND JURY SAWS
So---REPORT OF THAT BODY.

To the Honorable District Court Of the
Parish of CaddO:
The grand jury having investigated
all matters presented for their consiG-
GRAFTON, respectfully report as follows;
We have considered 81 charges, 36 of
which We're ignored, one passed for
lack of sufficient evidence and return
ed forty-four true bills.
The number of frivolous cases and
those prompted by malice seems to
have decreased considerably since the
last term of the Criminal Court. Not
a single violation of the Sunday law
or the law against selling LIQUOR to
minors has been brought to our notice.
There have been fewer indictments for
crap shooting" showing this form Of
vice to be on the decrease and only
needing the prompt execution of the
law against il to abolish it altogether
There have been many cases of shoot
ing with intent to kill and assault with
of murder which are directly traceable
to the detestable, cOwardly and unlaw-
full practice Of carrying concealed
weapons, a practice which is so COM
mon among the most ignorant class,
as to be productive Of more crime than
any other infractiOn OF the law which
has come before us. and we would urge
the most vigorous prosecution OF this
class Of offenders, and upon conviction.
such penalties may be inflicted under
the law. as to render the practice much
more uncommon than it is at present
We have visited the Jail and nd its
condition as good a. the surroundings
will admit, but at the same time, we
would suggest that the situation is
unsuitable, and tho accommodations
entirely inadequate for the number of
prisoners now confined therein, and
would recommend the removal or
rather the construction OF another
building in better location. and one
more in accord with the requirements
of the times. The present building is
anything but credit to our progress
sive people, and We look to our police
jury, who have given us such an ele-
CANT temple of justice. to supplement
the good work by giving to the parish
a model prison.
A committee of the jury visited the
Charity Hospital, who report that they
were shown through the premises by
the courteous resident physician, DR..
Schumpert, and found everything clean
and in good sanitary condition, the
water supply abundant and service
good.
While the building is large enough |
for the needs at present and probably |
for some time in the future, much Of it |
is in an unfinished condition, and the |
physicians report an inadequate sup
ply of surgical instruments, all of which
should be remedied by an additional ap-
for this excellent institu-
tion, which is a credit 10 the State and
a boon to INDECENT sufferers.
Our labors have been lightened bv
the cheerful and intelligent assistance
Of our district attorney. who has been
and prompt in his attendance
and has materially aided us by his legal
advice in the discharge of our duties.
To the sheriff and his deputies the
thanks of the jury are extended.
There being nothing more before
our body requiring our attention, we
respectfully ask to be discharged.

OLDER THAN SAN AUGUSTINE.

IL has long been taken as an estab-
lished fact that the oldest city in the
United States was San Augustine,
Fla, which was founded in 1865.
Recently discovered papers, however,
go to overthrow this proud claim of
antiquity, and to show that we have
a city which is older than San Au-
gustine by twelve years. This an
cient place is Tucson, Ariz. An old
Spanish land grant has been un-
earthed there which bears date in
1863, and conveys to the founders of
the city certain parcel of land in
the neighborhood. If this document
prove authentic, it will establish the
claim of Tucson to be oldest city in
the country.-N. o. Picayune.
