ANOTHER STEP FORWARD.

The Hotel Thompson TO Be Enlarged and
Two More StOrerOOms to BE Built.
DIR. H. p. Merriman, a Chicago cap
italist who already owns a number of
farms near lola, has shown his faith
in the future of our city by purchasing
the Hotel Thomson formerly the Lee
land HOteD and the three lots sdjoln-
ing it on the west, and the work of
new storerooms Will begin at once.
The plan is to put up three two
story brick buildings, Immediately
adjoining the hotel on the west. the
lower floor of the first one to be used
as a dining room that of the other two
as storerOoms, aud the upper floor of
all three to be divided into apartments
and used as an annex to the hotel,
adding twelve more rooms. The din
ing room will be 26x46, a commodious
aud beautiful room, and the store
rooms will be about 21x60.
The REGISTER publishes this report
with special pleasure. not because
new business blocks are such rarity
in lola as to deserve particular dis
play, but because the projected i'm
provement will supply long needed
additions to the hotel equipment of
lola. So far as quality is concerned
our town has been unusually we'll
equipped, both of the leading hotels
being unsurpassed in this section of
the state. But they are both small
and the need of more room has long
been apparent. This will now be
furnished and the Hotel Thomson
will be a credit to the town in size as
it always has been, under the present
capable management, in quality.
The new arrangement is matter of
congratulation all round.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Large Barns And GranarieS of Tom
Anderson Burned.
EIGHT HORSES PERISH.
Thought To Be of Incendiary Origin, J5ut
No Clue to the Perpetrators
Insurance Will Not Gov
er the Loss

A bout ten O'Clock last Sunday the
large barns of Tom Anderson, vino
lives about seven miles northeast of
town were burned to the ground.
The loss will reach into the thousands
with insurance enough to cover only
about One-half.
People i'm lola last night noticed a
glow in the sky about ten O'Clock but
did not know where the fire was To-
Gated. Monday morning, however,
Tom Anderson came into town and
the news rapidly spread that the two
immense barns and long shed on his
stack farm were burned to the ground.
The two long barns were 70x2S aud
7Ox30 feet respectively aud were built
upon six-foOt foundation walls, max
horses. In one of them were eight
fine large draft horses and harness,
buggics, wagons, farm machinery and
hay tools. All these were burned as
were also $50 tons of timothy hay and
over 1000 bushels of corn in the other
barn, all the feed prepared for the
coming winter. The cattle were all
i'm the lot and were saved. Besides
the two barns a shed $40 feet long
was burned. The loss will aggregate
about $1,000, half covered by insur-
ance.
Fortunately for Mr.. Anderson, he
does not besr the entire loss, as the
property belonged to a stock COM
pany, known as the ADderson-Find-
ley Stock Company, of which he was
manager. Whether the barns will be
rebuilt cannot be learned until the
other members of the company have
been heard from, but we feel quite
sure that it will be done The origin
of the fire is supposed to have been
incendiary, but nothing is known
absolutely.

REMAINS OF A LOST RACE.
Superior People Driven to the swamp OF
What Is Now Louisiana.

WnaG Is NOW LOUISIANA
Prof. George E. Boyer, of Tulane
university, New Orleans. has just re-
turned from his explorations of the So
called Indian MOUNDS along the Red
river. and between that stream and the
Mississippi, in Franklin. NatchitCches.
and other neighboring parishes, which
he investigated for Tulane university
and the Louisiana Historical society.
He was able to distinguish the several
layers of earth, shell and clay deposited
at different times, and to demonstrate
greater antiquity for the mounds
than had been supposed-an antiquity
of at least 1000 years. The skeletons
and implements discovered proved fur
ther that the Inhabitants of these
mounds were not of tine race CT the
ordinary red Indians who were found
there by the Frezch and Spanish ex-
plOrers, but a race akin to the AZtecs
or Toletics, of more peaceful DISPOSE
ton than the neighboring Indians, and
originally more civilized. They had
apparently been forced into the great
swamps by the surrounding Indian
tribes, and their civilization had de-
Perforated under the unfavOrable con-
ditions in which they lived.
Prof. Beyer's later explorations con-
firmed his former ones. or rather show
ed that there were two varieties OF
mounds N the country he explored,
one variety on the higher land, ap-
parently erected by Indians, and used
mainly for burial purposes; the other
built by a more ancient race, and con-
tanning skulls of the same kind as
those found in Catahoula. The Indian
mounds contained a large number OF
skeletons with heads distinctively In
dian. arrows. tomahawks, etc. The
other mounds were in the swamps or
lakes, like those of Mexico. Such lakes
were once abundant along the Red rfV-
er. but nearly all have been drained
dry to-day by the removal OF the Red
river raft. The number OF these
mounds fairly staggered Prof. Boyer.
he found no fewer than fifty clustered
together and extending a distance or
two miles from Browns bayou to Lit
tie Deer creek. They were so close to-
gether-only fifty feet apart-as to
make what must have been in old days
settlement or town.

The two giggling girls pushed their
way into the crowded cable car. The
one was pretty, and knew it, while the
other wasn't and didn't seem to know
it. After a great deal of squeezing
that almost took their breath away,
they at last reached the front part Of
the car. They kept up their giggling
until a man who was trying to read
in the corner seat got up in disgust
and went out on the front platform.
Although they both wanted to sit down
neither wished to deprive the other Of
the seat
You take it, dear" said the pretty
one.
Il wouldn't enjoy it at all if knew
Ecu were standing" replied the other.
Then they began giggling again.
At last, when another woman rushed
up to take it, the pretty girl showed
her friend into the seat. saying: The
drst thing We know we'll lose it. Be-
sides, my dear, it's better for you
to take it, because I'm more likely to
have seat offered me-"

and turned red in the face. and when

tention of posing in the future for none
but American artists. In appearance
she is a slight, brOwn-haired, blue-eyed
slip of a girl, with a faultless figure.
The chief charm of her face lies in its
puzzling contrasts, in the dimples that
come and go with every breath, in the
eyes that never, even in her gayest
moments, lose a certain look of ap-
pealing sorrow. "She possesses the

Transacts Business With a View to I'M
proving the City.
The city council at its last meeting
transacted a little business which
will probably result in great i'm
provement ia Inc appearance of our
city.
The Gas Company laid proposition
before the council about as follows:
The company agreed to furnish gas
free for one year for all street lamps
put up within the next three months.
The council appointed a committee to
choose ten locations for lamps, the
city to pay One.half the expense of
putting i'm the lamps. The condition
of acceptance on the part of the coun
Gil was that the Gas Company pipe
the gas from the mains to the post
free. This point had been overlooked
by the company, but there is little
doubt that they will accept the con-
-dition.
Teh or more new lamps erected will
appeal by their usefulness to every
person who uses the street and it may
be that the ten will grow TO fifty.
Strangers fin the city almost invaria-
bly, remark unfavOrably the compare
dive absence of street lamps in town
where, at slight expense, there could
be an abundance of light that would
be both useful and ornamental.
The council also provided that on
streets one hundred feet wide, twen-
ty-five feet on each side should be
used for parking purposes, the trees
TO be set ten feet from the front of the
lot. On streets eighty feet wide,
twenty feet on each side are to be used
for the same purpose, trees to be set
ter feet from the lot front.
This is an opportunity which should
not be overlooked. For a dollar
apiece the residents of nearly every
block can have lamp on the corner,
and by little care for uniformity we
can soon have our streets lined with
shade trees, all of which will be
things of beauty and a joy forever.

ARE srATs UNIVERSITIES IRRELIeEous 2

ARE STATE UNIVERSITIES IRRELIGEOUS ?
Notwithstanding the large cOntri-
buttons which the religious denomi-
nations are making to the student
body of the state universities, says
Professor Kelsey in the December
atlantic, it has often been asserted
that these institutions are irregiliOus
in the character of their instruction.
This subject was so fully discussed by
President Angel in the Andover Re
view, that it will be sufficient here
to quote one paragraph in which he
presents certain facts regarding the
religious status of professors and in
StructOrS:-
In twenty of the state institutions
all from which have facts on this
point-it appears that seventy-One
per cent. of the teachers are members
of churches, and not a few of the
others are earnestly and even actively
religious men who have not formally
Joined any communion. When we
remember that colleges not under
state control-certainly this is true
of the larger Ones-dO not now always
insist on church membership as the
condition of an appointment to place
in the faculties, and that no board of
regents or trustees of any state uni
versity will knowingly appoint to a
chair of instruction a man who is not
supposed to be of elevated moral
character, it must be conceded that
the pupils in the state institutions are
not exposed to much peril from their
teachers. But the great majority
of men who choose teaching as their
profession always have been, and are
