RAILROAD WRECK. A railroad
wreck that resulted in the loss of one
life occurred on the Southern Pacific
Railroad (Morgan's line) on last Mon
day morning at 1:30 o'clock at Alex
andre Theriot's switch, West of Race
land in this Parish. Passenger train
No. IS, West bound, ran into the rear
end of West bound freight train No.
"A A very dense fog was prevailing
at the time and it was impossible to
see more than a cars length ahead.
For this reason, the engineer of the
passenger train could not see the tail
lights of the freight train in time to
prevent a collision. Engineer Peter
Danenhauer, one of the oldest and
most experienced engineers on the
road. was in charge OF the passenger
engine. AS soon as he saw the freight
train ahead of, him. he reversed his
engine, and at once applied the brakes.
Had the track not been wet and slip
perry, he would have succeeded in
stepping his. train in time, but as it
was, the passenger engine STIR OK the
freight caboose, breaking the pilot of
the engine and the rear of the caboose.
The damage, however, was very slight.
The only unfortunate thing about
the occurrence was thai Fireman Rus
sell 0 fthe passenger engine was killed.
Seeing that the trains We're coming
together, he jumped from his engine.
His head struck with terrible force
against Il cross-tie, which resulted in
his death. Engineer Danenhauer
braveiy stuck to his post and was not
hurt.
A special train, bearing with it DR..
T. Stark, acting coroner, soon reached
the scene, and Il post norton exam!-
nation was held over the body of Mr..
Russell. His remains were afterwards
transferred to his home IN Algiers.

Give the Farmer Facts.

The average planter has but little
use for finely spun theory, whether it
pertains to the relation of his condi.
ton to politics or whether 1t deals
with the best ways and means of grow
ing the best crops. What lie wants is
Facts. No one has realized this more
than the great seed firm of d. NJ. Fer
" & Co.. Detroit. Mich, who tor for
ty years have been studying the wants
and condition of planters, large and
small. and as n result have created the
largest seed business in The whole
world. Without doubt. u strict adler
ence to The policy of dealing in facts
repre- sents the secret of their success.
They know their seeds are right before
they are sent the nlaay thousand deal
crs from whom the planter gets them.
The dealer knows this to be a fact re-
curing no further question. and tie
fact when harvest time comes. An
other illustration of the value of this
method is found il Ferry's Seed An
uual. in which there is nothing but
facts. Facts that prove Of the greatest
value to every planter: facts about
how, when and where to plant, that
can be had from no other source.
There are no worthy facts left ont,
and no unworthy theories let in. This
book is sen free to- every one who
asks for it. A postal card with your
name and address sent the firm will
bring it to you.

| d. r. Cox of this city. thinks
he has hit upon a practical solu-
ton Of serious nineteenth-century
problem-how to live and support
a wife in comparative luxury on
$50 a month.
His plans consists of a co-ope-
rative apartment house to accom-
modate 200 families, rooms
arranged in suits as follows: One
hundred and twenty-six apart
ments OF three rooms each, twelve
apartments of four rooms each
forty-four apartments of FIVE
rooms each and twenty four
apartments of six rooms each.
The whole house is to occupy a
half square of ground and to be
five stories high.
The main building is to be con.
stracted around a rectangular
court. and on this court. with
proper air space between it aud
the main building. will be con-
structed a dining and amuse-
ment ball NJ. Cox saws he can
offer suit of three rooms and
board TO- man and his wife at
the dining saloon for s35 a
month. This Is, OF course. the
main item of expense. Some of
the othe- items in which he off rs
10 s,ve money for his tenants By
cooperation Is on their laundry.
This he estimates be can have
done for 81. 40 mooth; a good
barber can be secured who will
shave for ) cents and hair cut for
10 cents If be has gaarantee of
enough customers to atf,rd him
good living at those rates. Like
wise the services OF good physi-
clan would be obtAinable on such
a large contract at very reason
able fee % the individual.
Going outside with the same
system Nr. Cox would make con-
tracts for his guests with the shoe
lie ,ler. the dry goods man. the

letter kilograms for correspondence,
more secret than the telegram proper,
making no awkward mistakes in times
and places, and best of all, preserving
the caligraphy of the sender.
More serious things are doubtless
passing across the coils which cover
the remainder of the roof of the tun-
mel. These are the telegraph and tele-
phone wires, thousands of miles of
them connecting the two hundred and
forty postoces, and placing hundreds
of subscribers in the city within ear
shot. Overhead wires are prohibited
in Paris $50 are sky signs), and how
much the city gains in beauty those
only know who have seen London,
with it's unsightly webs strung across
the housetops, spelling whatever of
the picturesque there may be about
the streets, and constituting a serious
danger to persons and to property.
There is no comparison either in the
efficiency of the telephone in the two
cities. A whisper may be heard in
Paris, while in London telephoning is
generally a most eXasperating opera
ton. A striking piece of evidence
upon this point is afforded by the fact
that it is weIl-nigh impossible to tele-
phone from Paris to any given sub
scriber in London, and that before the
instrument could be of any practical
use for long messages, the two great
foreign news agencies, DalZiePS and
Reuters. were obliged to have special
wires laid underground to their offices
from st. Martins lie Grand. On the
other hand, any subscriber in any part
of the French capital may be heard
with ease from the general postofice
in London. In this and one or two
