One Of the great troubles that rail-
road companies have Aad to contend
with in the past with both the old
style and the new NJ c. B. couplers
was the falling of drawbacks on the
tracks, resulting many times in disas-
trous wrecks. A year or two ago the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad adopted
a device to prevent just such occur
rences, and has since attached it to all
its passenger equipment. The device
is quite simple, consisting merely of
right-angled steel hook, which is
placed Immediately beneath the coup
Ter on the draw-head. with horizontal
arm projecting slightly at an angle to
the direction of the track. When the
draw-head falls the safety hooks not
only assist In jamming the Drawbacks
together but absolutely prevent their
swaying from side to side. and thus
becoming disengaged. The steel hook
II placed in such a position that it
cannot be damned or broken of in the
coupling of cars.
In actual practice this device has
proved exceedingly satisfactory. and
has not failed in a single instance.

course freely and vigorously through his
body. Soon he was restored to his old
time health.
A reporter for The Monitor recently
called on Mr.. Petch again and was told
You may say there is NO doubt as to my
cure being permanent. i am in better
health than whom gave you the first in

to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.

Udy, SculCuC0 was
read to the condemned, who we're told
that it would be carried into effect at
8o'clock on the same afternoon.
! Aaximilian received the intelligence
calmly, and devoted the following
hour, which he deemed his last, to die
tating letters to DR.. Basch and to his
Mexican secretary, Senior Blasio. He
then confessed to Padre Soria. and
heard mass in General Miramon's
chamber, where the condemned men
received the last sacraments. after
which he signed his letters, and took
leave Of those about him. In remov-
ing his wedding ring and handing it to
Dr.. Basch, he said: you will tell my
mother that I did my duty as SOL
der. and died a Christian" After this
he quietly awaited death.
The appointed hour passed, how
ever. without his being summoned to
execution. After prolonged suspense.
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, news ar
rived that reprieve Of three days had
been granted by the president, in or
der that the condemned might have
time to make their last dispositions.
This unexpected delay naturally
aroused hopes among the friends Of the

continued his preparations with the
same calm dignity that had not once
forsaken him; but he sent a telegram

IN TIE Aonseor, newspaper published at

Mr.. Petch had been q hopeless peralytio

bloated almost beyond recognition. and
could not take solid food. Doctors called
the disease spinal sclerosis. and ell said he

Then comes an anxious interval when
the farmer hopes and prays that his
growing grain will be successful in
lodging hail. hot winds and rust. And
then harvest. The only really pleas
ant thing about harvest time is sleep
ing at night after the days work is
done. Threshing caps the climax. It
is hard, hot, swift and dirty work, and
every one on the farm is glad when it
is over. especially the women who have
to get up the grub for the hands. A
threshing crew can out-eat any aggre-
cation of workers ever assembled. not
barring the roustabouts of a wagon
show. 1t is work, worry and work,
from the time the ground is prepared
until the grain is in the bin: but when
the farmer loads up a string of wagons
and hauls lot to town, selling it for
81 or lilo a bushel. as many are doing
at this time, he feels that he is getting
a good return for his labors, and
thanks God that his lot is cast in Kan
sas, where one man and one team can
take good care of more land than in
any other state in the Union.

latter carrying ammunition and pro-
visions. The opinion of the mill
tary authorities at Washington is
eral Shaftet is prepared to make a
general attack on TIE defense Of
Santiago, but he IS a very active
man and may decide to push his
lines of infantry closer to the city,
and IN that event there will no
doubt be some very hot fighting on
the front.
New Orleans Picayune: The
appointment of negroes to official
positions in the military service
will place them on an official equal
ity with all others Of their rank, and
put them not only IL the line Of
promotion, but Of precedence. A
negro officer may happen to be the
superior in rank present on some
particular OCCASION, and he is by
that fact entitled to command until
some special order from the Presi-
dent puts somebody else over him.
This sort Of thing is sure to exert
a most demoralizirg effect upon the
army. While officers will in many
cases refuse to take orders from a
negro superior in rank, and white
soldiers coming under his orders
may openly xvo|t.
If the public authorities al WASH
ington are working with an eye sim
gle to the good Of the country and
the highest efficiency of the military
service, they will drop the subject
Of negro officers, but enlist as many
regiments Of negroes under white
officers as may be needed, for
should any military disaster grow
out os the appointment Of negro Of
flcers over the troops, there will be
no excuse avaible, nor will any
apology or explanation be accepted
by an enraged people.
St. Landry Clarion: Judge Gun
by, of the Monroe Bulletin, about
the ablcst Pupulist leader in this
State, is hard agin' fusion. He
says IF you want to preserve the
Populist principl you must have
the courage to stand up and to fight
alone" If the learned gentleman
adheres to this prlnciple it is odds
that lie will soon become very I'M
popular with his friends. The Pop
ulist party has been converted into
SO much stock in trade, to be bar
gained off where the inducements
are strongest.
Opelousas Courier: Judge w. c.
Perrauls, Of Opelousas, is being
prominently mentioned in this par
ish and in Acadia as a candidate
for Congress from the Sixth Dis
trict, and has announced his inten-
ton to stand for the nomination if
he can obtain the undivided support
of the Democracy Of St. Landry.
With this parish and Acadia he feels
certain of success in securing the
nomination. We heartily en- dorse
Judge PerrauIt and believe he would
make an excellent representative.
He is still a young man, active, en-
ergetic and we'll informed, and du-
ring the four years that he occupied
the District Bench, proved himself
an able and conscientious official.
His record as Judge is one that any
man might feel proud Of; for, be-
sides the great number of cases he
decided, to his credit it must be
stated, that but few Of his decisions,
either civil or criminal, were re-
versed by the appellate courts. His
excellent services as District Judge,
and his popularity throughout St.
Landry and Acadia, promise sue
cess to his candidacy, and we hope
he will receive the endorsement of
his home parish.
