The Louisiana immigration AS
ISOLATION is a chartered institution
formed for the purpose of securing
desirable immigrants to this State.
The Association will keep a book
in which lists of lands with their
description and price will be entered
for the inspection of such persons
as may visit our State with the view
Of purchasing lands for homes.
The Office at Shreveport is in a
suitable portion of the city, close
to all hotels and depots.
The Association will also answer
all questions by intending home
seekers who may correspond with
its officers. 1t will also advertise
Louisiana abroad, especially in the
States of the northwest. The AssO-
citation is simply an organised ef-
fort to set forth the advantages OF
Louisiana as q home and to bring
together the land seeker and land
seller. 1t relies on the patriotic
public spirited citizens and land
owners to take stock, which.is IS 90
per share. Its charter provides
that it shall pay no dividends,
hence all stockholders understand
that they are uniting in collective
capacity to develope the State.
The present is the most suitable
time for this work, as the compile
ton of a great trunk line railway
to Shreveport from the great grain
| producing centre, whose CONNER
cial emporium in Kansas City,
brings Louisiana in close touch
with Nebraska, Kansas and the
great Northwest. The Association
earnestly requests land owners
particularly those having large
bodies, to send on their lists with
postage for correspondence. There
will be no fee for entering the Lists
of lands or correspondence relative
thereto.

The microbe, that scapegoat OF
modern science, has to bear the
burden of yet another human III
trinity, if we may credit the re-
port made by DIR. Sabouraud to
the Genealogical Society of Paris.
He asserts that premature badness
is chiefly due to the ravages Of a
bacillous which takes up its abode
in the fatty cells lying about the
roots of the hair. Whether thi,
parasite consumes the nutriment
provided by nature for the support
of the capillary crop or secretes :
sstoxin" that Is fatal to the hir SUITE
growth seems to be As yet undecid
ed. The eminent psychologist ha'
succeeded in cultivating the crea
ture after the most approved Pas
teurian methods, and fleece of
sheep inoculated with the vir,l'
shows bare patches of a most graft
flying nature. Now comes tn
question of the remedy. ''Shall W

graph, shave to be vaccinated TO

THE RUSH TO THE YUKON.
Likely to Surpass That to California
and South Africa.

Mr.. A. E. Smith, United States consul
at Victoria, B. c., has made report to
the State Department on the Klondike
gold country, in the course of which he
says:
"All the advices that reach here indicate
that the rush in 1S49 to California. and
later, TO South Africa, will be eclipsed by
the rush of gold seekers headed for the
Yukon in the early. months of 1898. The
crowd is coming not only from this con-
tinent, but from the old world and the
antipodes. The desire is to get the Cana
dian government to open an all-Canadian
route to the gold fields and to enact such
tariff laws as will make 1t to the interest
OF miners to purchase their outfits in Can
ada. The transportation companies have
by purchase or lease secured ocean steam
ers sufficient to make daily lines between
this port and st. Michaels, Dyea, Skaguay,
Fort Wrangell, &c.
1.-The klOndike stratum runs in the di-
rection Of Alaska, and mines there are
paying as well as those in Canada. The
miners in Alaska make their own laws
There is no tax upon them, and no ques-
lions of nationality are asked any more
than in the Klondike region. The tenn
rerature in winter goes to 20 degrees below
Zero but the air is still and dry, and is
really no harder to endure than 30 degrees
below in Montana"

FILING THEIR APPLICATIONS.
Inventors Who Have Obtained Fore
Ign Patents.

Inventors who have obtained foreign pat
ents are taking advantage Of the last few
days Of the time before the new law goes
into effect to file their applications for
patents in the United States patent office,
and every steamer from the other side ar
irving brings a number of applications.
According to the record kept by Acting
Commissioner Greeley, there were 1916 ap-
plicatiors received Tuesday, the largest
number ever filed. TN one day.
At the present time the law relating to
the filing of applications for United States
patents after foreign patents have been
issued permits the filing Of the applications
at any time during the life Of the foreign
patent, the Office always recognizing the
foreign patent as an anticipation of any
device for which application is made in
this country covering the same idea. When,
here, instead of running the seventeen
years that is usual lit only exists during
the life of. the foreign patent. which is
granted for fourteen years. For instance,
and two years later an. American patent is
applied for and granted. The United States
patent lives only for twelve years, that be-
Ing the unexpired term of the foreign pat
emit. The new law, which the foreign in
ventors are seeking to anticipate by fling
their applications in this country before it
goes into operation, stipulates that no ap-
plication for United States patent will be
received, after seven months have elapsed
from the issuance of the foreign patent
To offset the disadvantages this rule might
entail the new law :yery generously gives
the foreign patent issued as q; United States
patent the full life OF q regular United
years.
It is expected that hundreds Of applica-
lions will be received this week.

every pretty girl is in danger, for Miss
Marshall was disorderly in that she openly
permitted young men to make love to her.
An envicus maiden, said to be a relative
of Maycr-elect Van Wyck of New York
saw Miss Marshall kiss young man, and
made Il complaint. A warrant charging
her with disorderly conduct was issued.
Miss Van Wyck gave her testimony with
unrelenting severity.
When she left the witness stand Miss
Marshalrs lawyer said the charge was SO
ridiculous that he would not put in a de-
Tense. His pretty client confident of ac-
quittal smiled while the recorder summed
up the case-smiled until his last words
fell:
Ten dollars fine
"Whatw exclaimed the fair defendant
Ten dollars fine for being kissed! Well,
Jersey is nice place, / must say"
Miss Van Wyck walked out of court tri-
urnphantly. The case will be appealed.
