.'Oh not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
Twas an angel Visited the green earth,
And took the blossom away"
On March the 7th, the Reaper
garnered in his sheaves precious
bud of maidenhood, LULA MAY,
eldest daughter of John w. and
Elizabeth Babers.
Her illness was so brief that
the icy hand was upon her, before
the loving ones around the bed
side, realized that Lula was in a
serious condition.
Scarce one short week ago she
was at her accustomed desk in our
school, winning the admiration
and love of the teacher by her
ever ready obedience and by her
diligence, and great ambition to
strive onward in our most advanc-
ed class.
Sadly we miss the pleasant COM
panlon and willing helper, and
are 10th to enter the school-roOm
where so great void is felt. Oh,
that vacant desk /! with dimmed
eyes we look upon it. Reverently
we gather away the books which
are believed with our tears. On
the play ground, no longer is hel
oav tauohter TO be heard, but bel
voice still echoes in our hearts.
Though Lula is dead, yet she
shall live forever in the memory
of all who knew her, as she was &
loving and devoted daughter, {
kind and sympathetic sister; truly
the very sunshine of her home.
It's meet that one SO pure shoult
leave the earth in her sixteenth
year, ere sins polluting breath
would reach her, and like tn
spring flowers, rise from darkel
abode to one of golden light above
May the Christian faith sustain
the bereaved parents and relative
| in their hour of affection, and lea.
them to say ''Thy will be done,
whilst believing that
"All is light and peace with Lula.
A FRIEND.

1t now becomes our painful duty
to tell our many readers that our
city is infected with small pox.
Messrs. Dodd, Denis, Deverenne
and others were taken with some
breaking out. Our Doctors not
being accustomed to treating this
disease, were unable at first to
give a positive opinion. However,
as the cases were suspicious, an
expert was sent for from New Or
leans, he pronounced the cases
genuine small pOx.
We trust the authorities Will be
able to control the disease, and an
epidemic prevented.

State Platform
Peoples Party of Louisiana.

/. We affirm our allegiance to
the pure principles of popular gov
eminent, as enunciatcd by Wash
ington, Jefferson aud Jackson, and
embodied in our National platform,
and we uphold the principle en-
bodied in the immortal declaration
that this should be "a Government
of the people, by the people and
for the people"
3. And especially do we de-
mand the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver, at the
ratio of Is to /, with equal debt
paying power as primary money,
and full legal tender monetary
system for the people of the Unit
cd States, without consulting any
foreign nation or money syndicate.
3. We demand for Louisiana
industries equal protection to that
afforded the industries of other
States. An American, not a Brit
ish system of commercial laws,
that no discrimination against our
agricultural and industrial classes
may be made. -.
4. We favor just and liberal
system of public schools for the
benefit of all classes of our people,
and we deplore the fact that for
many years the management OF
our public school system has been
so defective that the party now in
power seeks to disfranchise large
number of our citizens on the
grounds of ignorance.
5. We denounce the disgrace
full and infamous election frauds
which have prevailed in Louisiana,
and we demand and are determin-
ed to have perfectly honest and
fair election, at which each citizen
qualified to vote, shall cast his bal
lot freely and secretly, and the
vote shall be fairly counted as they
are actually cast. This is the SUI
preme issue in this campaign, and
in its success the honor, manhood
and prosperity of Louisiana are
involved. The foul and loathsome
methods which have brought the
ballot box suffer to the front, and
placed him in power in Louisiana,
must, in the name of liberty, JUS
tice. morality and common decen-
cy, be suppressed.
6. We oppose and denounce the
proposed suffrage amendment, con.
cocted by political schemers, not to
purify and elevate the ballot box
| but to subserve their selfish pur-
poses by providing contradictory
qualifications, to suddenly disfran-
chise large masses of worthy cltl-
zens, by deluding the people with
promises of changes in the next
| Legislature. We denOunce the
whole amendment as vicious
fraud which proposes measures anc
methods that are un-American anc
destructive of free institutions.
| Z. We favor the utmost econo
my of expenditures, in State, cat,
and parish, and pledge our candi
dates to strict and impartial en-
forcemcnt of all laws, and the pres
ervation and promotion of every
Interest in Louisiana, whose wei
fare Is In oadcr and more Sacret
than party lines or partisan poll
cies !; and we invite and urge tn
true men and honest citizens o
Louisiana, without regard to pas
party affiliations to join with us il
a noble, patriotic and powerful ef
fort to relieve our people and tt
elevate the standard of polite
and public morality in our believes
, State.

distaStCful the suffrage amend
ment may he to the Democrats of
Acadia parish, it has been Adopt
Ell in the State platform, and TO
remain a loyal member Of the par
ty a man must vote for 1t. "
No one can dispute this prOpo-
sition unless party is a mere
name, without any significance or
principles. If man is a Demo-
crat because he calls himself one,
no matter what he believes or adj
vocates, then it is not obligatory
on him to support the suffrage
amendment 4; but if he is DEM
ocrat because he believes in the
principles advocated by the party,
he must support this measure,
passed by a Democratic Legisla-
ture and approved by the Demo-
cratic convention. As matter of
fact, no principle Is more thor
oughIy in accord with the doctrines
and teachings of Democracy than
the suffrage amendment, which
means good government, honest
elections, white supremacy and
Democratic rule.
The Boyce Enterprise includes
those who oppose the amendment
| in the Pharr fusion movement, for,
while some of them still claim the
name of Democrat, they are, 1t
declares, really in alliance with
the enemy in opposition to Demo-
cratic doctrines.
This seems very well understood
In the country parishes except in
St. Landry and Acadia, where the
politicians of AL grades are ma
king bid for the llliterate white
votes by opposing the suffrage
amendment. 1t is only there and
in New Orleans that the doctrine is
taught that a voter can vote against
every plank of the Democratic
platform and yet remain a regular
democrat. The convention left
the financial question to the indi
vidual preferences of the voters
| to be determined at the congress
ional and presidential election, bu
lit declared its position on the suf
lfrage amendment in clear and un
eouivocal terms, and made tina
amendment a part of the Demo
cratic doctrine and belief.-Times
Democrat.
If any doubt that the Democrat
ic party is pledged to carry through
the infamous suffrage amendmen
! by fair means or foul exists, tn
above ought to remove it. Ii Eos
ter succeeds in counting himsel
Ii in. the machine will never risk tn
whole people again, but will coun
, in and manipulate the suffrag
, amendment at all hazards. Eos
ter's defeat is its only defeat.

Democratic Methods.

Alarmed at the immense outpour-
ing of 5000 intelligent people to
hear Capt. Pharr's first New Or
leans speech at Artillery Hall,
Tuesday, 3rd inst, the N. 0. morn
ing papers, the Times-Democrat
and Picayune, resorted to the old
game of misrepresentation and
abuse, saying that two thirds OF
those present were negroes, some
were Democrats, etc.
An eye witness writes the Daily
Item as follows about the meeting,
and the I'D. and Pic, comments
on same
l desire to refute the statements
of the editors of the two papers
named, so far as the assemblage
being composed chiefly of negroes,
and say that the white element con-
stituted great majority of those
present, a host of these men who
have been lifelong Democrats but
have become disguised with such
Democrats y as the State and mu-
nicipal politicians want to force
upon the people. In this cam
paign somebody should fearlessly
discuss and compare the private
characters and regulations of the
respective candidates upon the Flu
sion and Democratic State tickets
and, if truly reflected, l am salts
fed a great majority of voters
would decide to vote the ticke'
headed by Capt. Pharr.
Respectfully,
d. E. PURSELL.

necessary one was furnished this even
ing by a little sorrel horse hftched TO a

a long way to make up for mis- lack of

frightened and ran. In turning the

IT WAS A QUIET DAY.
Programme of Exercises Was Carried
Out According to Arrangements.
SOLDIERS IN THE PARADE
The School Children and Boys
band Made a Nice showing
Citizens Generally Did Not
Manifest Much interest.

Missoula, Mont, May 30.-The OBJ
servance of Memorial day in this city
passed off pleasantly and according to
programme. The parade was formed
at o'clock this afternoon and was
dismissed at the court house at 2:30.
The entire garrison of Fort Missoula
was in the line, Captain Wilson COM
manding. The Twenty-fifth infantry
band headed the line and the troops
acted as escort to the little band Of
veterans that composed the Grand
Army. Following the veterans. the
fire department was in line. with good
turnout of men and apparatus. The
second division was composed OF the
school children and was headed by the
boys band. The little ones made a
good showing and turned out large
delegation.
At the court house the parade was
dismissed and the literary exercises
were carried out as announced. Pre-
ceding the addresses of President
Craig. Rev. Mr.. jenkins of Stevens
vile made a brief speech, his theme
being the good qualities of the Ameri-
can people that were developed by the
civil war; The volley over the SYM
bolical grave was fired by a detail of
the troops from the post. The music
by the bands was excellent and well
received. The presence of the regulars
added much to the interest that was
manifested in the day and the veter-
ans and citizens are grateful to the
post commander for his interest in the
occasion.
There was but one criticism to be
made on the manner in which the city
observed the day and that is that the
citizens in general did not manifest
much interest in the day. With the
exception of the county and city build
ings and the stores of Morris Schioss-
berg. and Hosey, Judson e. Phelan.
there was no decoration, except at a
few private residences. There was not
that appreciative, interest that all cit
izens should feel in the rites of the day.

tion till he Cor she) got impatient. She
insisted so earnestly that / began to
believe her and / asked her IL she
would satisfy my wife when she re-
turned of the truth of her statement.
She was willing and In an hour my
wife came home. Then we knew in a
few minutes that the strange story was
true. My wife gave Fred some clothes
and IL was the funniest thing that I
ever saw to see the poor girl try to act
naturally in the new attire. She looked
like a great gawky school boy in his
sisters clothes. We did not dare to
let her go on the street, lest she should
be arrested for being boy in female
clothes, so we kept her in the house
till / heard from the ensign in charge
of the Rescue home in Helena and then
raised some money among my
friends and sent her TO Helena. i have
not said anything about this as she
asked me not to. But now that she
has told 1t, there Is no harm in telling
1t all.
Yes, she told me her real name but
I will not disclose II. i know that she
is of a good family and that her mother
would be broken hearted to hear the
story. For 10 years the girl has worn
the disguise and no one but the people
at Horse Plains ever suspected her.
She came west with a canvasser and
was with him for some time but he did
not know, she says, that she was not
a boy. 1t was her love for adventure
that led her to do as she did and then
she got to drinking and the old life lost
its attraction for her. II is one OF the
strangest things that / ever heard of,
and do not see how the girl remained
virtuous, as 1 know she did, all those
years She is in good hands now and 1
think that she will go to her people"
