SENSATION IN WALL STREET

New York. June l--The Heard today
says: wall street Is promised a sensation
growing out OF the war with the bucket
shops and alleged discretionary pool hous-
es.A complaint is to be raised by way Of
retaliation for recent raids which involve
men whose names have been synonyms
for probity and honesty. The charge
which 1t is intended to make agalns, them
involves rather technical violation Of
the law sanctioned by custom than any
suggestion OF unfair dealing. Neverthe-
less. it is not improbable that they may
be found liable to punishment under the
statutes and be forced TO undergo some
disagreable experiences in court.

ALONE AT THE TOP
SOLID FACTS WHICH HAVE A WORLD
OF MEANING.


OF MEANING.
Deserved success always commands
the respect and admiration OF the peo-
ple. The man, the machine. the meoi-
cine doing greater and better things
than Others can do, wins fame ana po-
pularity. A thing which proves over
and over again its power to do that
which it promises to do is sure OF the
abiding confidence of mankind. An ar
ticle which stands out in the full light
of great success, unapproached by all
competition. is permanently fixed in the
minds of men as honest and reliable.
Look at the magnificent success OF
that sterling preparation, Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. TO what is this great success
due?
Think of the facts. First, there is the
great Laboratory of Hoods Sarsaparilla.
IL is a building which contains over
three acres of floor space, and 1t Is the
largest structure i'm the world devoted
exclusively TO the business OF prOprie-
tary medicine. What does this fact
mean? IL means that the business oil
making and selling Hoods SarsaparilIa
is of immense proportions.
Next, there are the cures by HOODS
Sarsaparilla. These cures have been
spread before the world, year after year
they are known to be true. genuine. I'M
impeachabIe facts. They are numbered
by thousands. Every mail brings In
these wonderful reports OF cures by
Hoods SarsapariIla. Letters are also
being received, from time to time. from
people who were cured many years agt
and now write to say the cures are per-
manent-that when once the offending
impurities which caused their suffering
{ have been driven from the blood b!
/ Hoods Sarsaparilla. there is no return
, of the disease. No other has such re-
cord of cures as Hoods Sarsaparilla,
, Third, look at the advertising of Hood
Sarsaparilla. 1t does not deceive tn
. people. 1t tell what Hoods Sarsaparills
. has done and what it will do. We d.
g not claim for Hoods Sarsaparilla an,
. instantaneous, miraculous effect. 1t !
scientific preparation, compounded b,
experienced pharmacists, for exactly tn
: purpose for which it is advertised. an
for which it has proved wonderfully sue
t cessful, namely, to purify, enrich an
y vitaliZe the blood.
4. This, in short, is the true reason TO
the great cures by Hoods Sarsaparills
u The blood is the life. Therefore. lif'
q health, and happiness depend upon tn

If the committees appointed
by the Police Jury at its last ses-
sion to secure the right of way for
the extension of this railroad
branch TO Arnaudville, we are con
fident they can secure the right OF
way with but few exceptions. The
few unprogressive people who re-
fuse the right of way can be ex-
propriated. But will the commit
tees show enough energy and en-
terprise to 90 to work at once and
make all necessary efforts to in
duce our people to give the right
of way? There is no finer section
in the state than that between st
Martinville and Arnaudville, the
only thing necessary to develop
the vast agricultural resources OF
that lovely part of our parish is
easy communication and transpor.
tation facilities, which can only
be secured by the building of q
railroap through the entire length
of that fertile country. We hope
that the committees are composed
of the right kind of men, and that
they will be successful in theil
effort, and before long the railroad
will reach Breaux Bridge and Ar
naudville, and make that section
bloom into one of the most pros
porous parishes in the state.

The Baton Rouge Break.

Daily Item.
The levees of the Mississippi,
according to the all-levee organs
when they record the usual fate
of a part or some part OF their
mud wall, are divided into two dis
tricts which alternate between the
weak and the strong levee sec
tions. That is, they are so sub
divided after crevasse. Before
calamity of that sort they are,
according to the same authority,
"impregnable," of course.
The river bank-level, as it ap-
proaches Baton Rouge, has an
elevated and elevating grade until
it is marked by the bluffs, which
butte upon the river at that point.
Consequently, levees to meet high
water levels gradually decrease in
elevation as the hills are approa-
ched. Just below this points is
Burton's mill, where the first le-
wee break occurred, which the peo-
pie of that vicinity, aided by all
the forces of the State, were "box-
ing in," and with every evidence
of success. But those who thought
to save the lands of the eastern
bank Of the Mississippi down to
Bonnet Care from overflow by
this box levee work were doomed
to disappointment. for the levee
just below the first crevasse broke
last night at l o'clock and The
Item painfully predicts that the
country below to where old Bon
net Care affords relief will be in
undated.
OF course this break is "jus
outside" some ''strong system
which did not give way-at leas
the all-levee people say SO, ant
the strong parts of the system
were only strong because they dit
, not give way.
The force of this, the last effor
