Death Of an Estimable Lady.

Mrs. ADELE DoRCAs DOLEs,
wife Of Mr.. Robert S. Doles, died
quite suddenly at her home near
Plain Dealing, on Sunday, May 80,
1897, aged 50 years.
Mrs. Do|es was the daughter of
Maj. c. McClenaghan, deceased, and
Mrs. J. E. McClenaghan, of Plain
Dealing. She was born in South
Carolina, May 81, 1862, and moved
With her parents to Bossier parish
in 1865: when child, where she
lived until her death. The sunny
years of her beautiful life had been
passed in our midst, and the beauty
of her inner life was best known to
to those who loved her best. In
1884, she was united in marriage to
Mr.. Robert S. Doles, and a life of
unalloyed happiness has crowned
these years. A beacon light she
pointed him onward and upward,
and as the day star of his life with
loving counsel she mnistercd at the
altar of Home. The loved ones OF
earth were the objects of her ever
vigilant care. Though her life was
brief, yet its bright record was made
up of we'll spent years of gracious
usefulness, and time left no trace of
life's years, only the sweet smile
fingered, the faithful index of low
ing heart.
Mrs. Doles was member of the
Methodist church and a devoted
Christian woman, favorably known,
highly esteemed and greatly belov-
ed. She leaves a husband, five
children, mother and two brothers,
to mourn her death. She was buried
at Cottage Grove on Monday, heI
3Jth birthday. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. P. II. Hens
ley, very large number of friends
being present.
We tender our deepest sympathies
to the bereaved. May mercifu
Father comfort the heart broker
husband, motherless children, ageC
mother and sorrowing brothers.

A big fire occurred at Allentown,
in this parish, on Tuesday afternoon
of last week. The fire originated in
q shaving chute in the large lumber
mill of Messrs. Allen Brothers &
Wadley, and before the flames could
be subdued the fire had destroyed
the machinery and sawmill bailding.
The loss is estimated at $4,000 with
only $500 insurance. Had the fire
not been checked by the large force
of millmen it would have spread to
the lumber sheds and destroyed
millions of feet of lumber. The
Banner extends it's sympathy to
Messrs. Allen Bros. s. Wadley, who
are most estimabIe citizens and en-
terprising business men, in their
great loss. They will rebuild at
once.

Dentistry Without Pain.

I have at last solved the problem of
preparing teeth for filling with no
pain. This is done by the recently
discovered electric instrument which
is simple, scientific and painless, and
is applied to the tooth with no dis
comfort to patient, but allows me to
cut out the cavity, or remove the
nerve, without least pain. As you
know, I also extract teeth without
pain.
My Bossier friends and patients
will find me at the same stand.

ST. PATRLCK'S DAY.

1t is little moment at this day and
age whether the patron saint of Ire
land, the good St. Patrick, was born
on the 18th of March or whether that
was the date of his death, the day is
observed by the Celt wherever he may
be found ON the wide face of the earth.
and is commemorated as his analver.
sary with sacred reverence. Dear to
the heart of every Irishman is the
name of ST. Patrick, and around it
cluster the hopes and expectations of
e people long exiled from their native
land, when their memory calls them
back to the green hills and verdant
plains of their own old ireland. They
have made the missionary who first
brought Christianity into the island
their patron saint and native hero;
and on this day when they pin the little
sprig of shamrock upon their bosoms.
a fond dream passes before their vision
of the time when ireland shall take
her position in the family of nations,
when she shall be free and independ-
ent state, when the yoke of British
tyranny shall no longer chafe the Irish
neck. On this day of all others does
the undying love of native country
predominant in the breast of.the Irish
man; on this day his hopes point to
the time in the dim future when all of
Erin's sons may say Ireland is free.

THE LSD4ND OF CRETE.

Although only a small speck on the
earth's surface when compared with
the other great bodies of land, Crete
is attracting more attention through
out the civilized world today than any
other one country, since il may be the
agency which will involve millions in
war and result in the overthrow of at
least one old and powerful nation.
Possibly Crete would attract less at
tention were it not for Greece, bat
Grecian ambition and enterprise is
bringing it into prominence, and bids
fair to be the cause that will kindle
the fires in European powder barrels
and plunge the old world into general
war. Tt is the purpose of Greece to
wrest the island from Turkish control,
SO soon as the revolt in Crete, where
Turks form large element of the
population, shall offer an opening,
provided other powers keep their hands
OFF, or in case it has the support of
Russia and France.
The island of Crete has population
of only 800, 600. who are restive under
Turkish domination and want either
independence or annexation to Greece.
More than 1000 years ago Crete was
composed of several populous republics,
forming a strong union that for q long
time resisted all invaders. In 63, A.
D., Crete was colo quored by the Romans,
and for nearly 1900 years has been sub
ject to foreign domination, almost
always being oppressed and dis
turbed. 1t was successively controlled
by Romans, Mohammedans Arabs,
Greeks, Venetians. and Turks. The
latter wrested the island from the
Venetenians in 1859, and Crete's his
tory has since been o record of almost
constant oppression aud bloodshed.
Thirty years ago o revolt resulted in
some reforms. The immediate cause
of the present revolution was popular
hatred of the Turkish governor. who
caused the murder of many Cretans
without provocation. A deeper cause
was the perpetual persecution and op-
preston by Turkish powers and the
direct violation of treaty agreements.
Las July, q provisional government
was formed, and strong stand has
been made against the Turkish forces.

1000 Homeless.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, March I6.-Nearly
2o00 homeless, half-starved persons
rescued from the overllowed districts
of Eastern Arkansas are being cared
for in this city today. The refugees
are mostly negroes. The citizens re-
lief commission is practically backed
by unlimited capital. merchants, hank
kers and corporations having subscrib-
ed great sums to prosecute the work of
rescuing the Inhabitants of the terri
tory 40 miles north and south of MEM
phis. The entire government feet,
stationed here, through Captain Fitch,
the engineer in charge, has been
pressed into service.
The situation today is critical. News
is expected hourly of breaks IN the
levees, and when this happens loss of
property and stock will reach into the
thousands.
The first loss of life has been report
ed. A family of five negroes have
been drowned at Marion. Sensational
stories of wholesale drowning at No
dena, Ark, are denied by steamer
hands fresh from the scene.
The gauge today reads 1874 fee.
Railway trains arrive and depart with
out reference to schedules. All tracks
except the Iron Mountain are submerg-
ed. Kansas City & Little Rock road
uses the Iron Mountain roadway. 1t
is expected that by night rescue steam
ers will land another thousand refugees
on Chickasaw bluffs.

WASHINGTON, March 1G.-In the

resolutions were introduced. They
embraced nearly every phase of the
public service. Aliens batch OF bills
numbered about IS. They Included
bills directing foreclosure of tha gov

road; to prevent professional lobbying;
defining the powers of the judiciary,
etc. Bills introduced by Hale related
to cable between the United States.
Hawaii and Japan, and to the twelfth

There was general laugh at one of
the pension bills of White, 'for the re-

bills included those to amend the i'm
migration laws, and for Hawaiian
cable. Bankruptcy bills were pre-
sented by Nelson and Lindsay. Nor
gan reintroduced the Nicaragua canal
bill and joint resolution to abrogate
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Numerous
bills, relating TO Pacific roads were
presented, including that of Morgan
to create board of trustees for the
Union and Central Pacific. One of
Thurston's bills provided for the in
crease of all pensions.

1T is UNFORTUNATE.

The refusal of the senate to seat the
republican aDpointees from Oregon
and kentucky is, viewed from parti-
san standpoint, misfortune to both
the leading parties. With those two
men in the senate, the republicans
would have Z clear working majority
in that body. especially on all uues-
tions of tariff. aud with the aid of a
few goll democrats they can safely
count on, would be able to enact the
most radical legislation that could be
desired even by the firmest advocate
OF the single standard. But with these
seats vacant during the special session
of congress, the efforts of the republi-
can leaders will be hampered, and
should they fail to redeem their pledges
they will have the excuse that they
did not have full control of congress,
hence will go before the Deople at the
next general election with the claim
that, given majority in the senate,
they will enact legislation that will
foster prosperity.
Stree the American people learn
best By experience, it was desirable
that. after a republican president and
house were elected, the senate should
also be republican, and the program
mapped out in the national platfdi'La
should be enacted. Four years of high
tariff, gold standard. and an admins
tration of public affairs in the interest
of monopolies, trusts, railroads and
banking syndicates would be sufficient
evidence to the people OF the mistake
they made at the polls last fall. 1t is
indeed unfortunate that there is not a
majority in the senate in harmony with
the administration so that the fullness
of the republican "object lesson" could
be realized.
