lnfallible Remedy for Blind
Staggers!

Judge Z. A. McFaddin has given
the Police Jury the following
remedy and treatment for ami
mails affected with Blind Staggers
Bleed from each side of nose
by making incision with sharp
knife blade one inch above
point of nose (outside) until
blood squrts freely from large
veins-lncision may be three
fourths of an inch deep if necess-
ary to produce profuse bleeding.
Take one half pint of Ammonia
in bottle and apply with long
feathers we'll up in nostrils and
keep up this treatment until dis
charge of matter from nose is
free and copious. I'd. Apply equal
parts of turpentlne and coal oil
over each lobe of the brain (under
forelock) and rub we'll, after
which apply flannel rag, and
over it apply sad-iron moderately
heated. As soon as the animal
shows signs of relief, give one
fourth pound Epson Salts or
other purgative sufficient to move
bowels freely. The above treat
ment will almost invariably pro-
duce instant relief, but if it does
not and there is not a free and
copious discharge of matter
from the nose, Or if the discharge
from any cause becomes lessened
and the animal does not seem to
be sufficiently relieved, continue
the Ammonia treatment until
the discharge is superinduced and
the animal permanently re-
lieved. Animals should be kept
in shade as much as possible.
The above treatment, if faith
fully and intelligently applied,
will prove an almost infallible
remedy for Il disease considered
incurable.

Shreveport Times: The pow
ers at Washington, may endeavor
fom political motives, to suppress
the name and fame of General
Fitzhugh Lee, but this very
course is defeating the end in
view. The partisanship and dis
elimination beng shown in send
ing troops to the front are furn-
ishing grave suspicious that the
burial of sectionalism is but
frothy mouthing, while the ami
mus of disfavor still lies con-
cealed beneath the surface. The
administration is treating tie
south with an injustice that the
people naturally resent. The
southern people have not been
lacking in enthusiasm, patriotism
and ready r:sponsed to the dem
ands of this war. This disinter-
ested loyalty is being met with
studied slight and premeditated
forgetfulness and Indifference.

doubtless for the reason that he
passed some time there in the

Our Kentucky fellow-citizens have
enough to be proud of without

Of distinguished worthless. Inn
ME is orr Jimmie. He is the
son of |. b. Shute, physician and
druggist of this town, and was
born in New Orleans obrJan. 10,
1877. His parents moved 10 St.
Landry when "Jimmie" Ntas two
years of age, and he has resided
here ever since, with the excep-

The manifestation Of purpose
made by this young man, (and
we might say boy) was remarkable
and therefore noteworthy.
Every observer sees boys grow
up and reach the age of majority,
without ever fixing a. purpose, to
pursue in life. They move about
in the whirl and maze of society
with no definite object in view
and are apparently content to
live, move and have their being
quietly waiting for something to
turn up.
1t has not been so with our
young hero. In the very morn
ing of his life he conceived a
purpose to accomplish, and no
sooner was it fixed upon, than he
manfully set out to accomplish it.
In doing so, he sought no 'fowery
bed of ease, but bracing himself
up for any duty which might be-
fall him, he promptly went to
Louisville, Ky, and entered the
Manual Training High School
where he spent two years in pre-
pairing himself for usefulness.
From the beginning, he exhibited
a manliness and an inHexibility of
purpose which prognosticated dis
tinguishing success. He made up
his mind to take life as he found
it. and to make it what he wants
it. When the United States au-
thorities published call for
apprentices in the Navy, he eager
ly respended-made application
stood the test of scrutinizing
examination and was accepted.
It made him as proud as Lucifer,
for it frightened his hopes in the
vision he had taken of his future
career.
There was no dallying about it.,
but he was assigned to duty and
went about it bent upon COM
manding success. Ordered to
duty in the Brooklin Navy Yard,
he set to work, but the war with
Spain coming on Immediately
thereafter he requested to be
placed on duty in the Navy. He
was accordingly transferred to the
Scorpion, where the world of
waters became his home.
The battles of the Scorpion
have immortalized it in Naval
history, and our young hero is
justly entitled to full share of
the glories of its brilliant
achievements.
Approaching the daring and
the courage of Jimmie, the Louis
vile papers set up claim to him

We're Finally Repuised With
Great Loss.

Manila. Dec. 13.--According to re-
liable adyices received from Iloilo.
capital OF the island Of Panay, in the
Visayas group, the insurgents attacked
Iloilo the night of December and cap
tured all the Spanish trenches. except
one. They then notified General Rios
to remove the women and children,
and threatened to renew the attack on
the following night.
When these advices left Iloilo, Gem
eral Rios was expecting reinforcements
and field gums. and the plan was for
the Spanish gunboats to shell, il the
insurgents effected an entrance. The
foreign residents were greatly alarmed,
and all merchantmen have been ordered
outside the barbor.
Meanwhile the Spanish authorities
have been advised that the Tulisanos
troops are looting, in disobedience OF
orders, and cannot be restrained.
On the ether hand. the Spanish trans
port Isla de Luzon reports that the in
surgents around Iloilo were repulsed
with great slaughter December 6. while
attempting to storm the last entrench-
ment. According 10 this story, 500
insurgents were killed or wounded by
the machine guns.
