The Court House Bill Vetoed.

During the past week W. G. Roberts,
]. A. Williams, H. G. Goodwin, R. s.
Cameron and Capt. C. H. Teal were in
Baton Rouge working against the
passage OF the bill introduced by Mr..
Stewart, ordering an election on the
question of removing the court house
from Colfax to Pollock.
The strength OF the railroad lobby,
engineered by Messrs. Leake, Lee,
Lampkins, Hudson and Others, was
too strong for the bill to be defeated.
The combination of Pops, Republi-
cans, railroad men and corporation
lawyers was all powerful.
On Tuesday the Colfax champions
downed the bill bya vote of l to IA.
On Wednesday the vote by which the
bill failed to pass was reconsidered
On final passage the bill received the
exact number required, 10 to 10
Senator Denechaud, and two Others
who had all along opposed the bill
having for some reason suddenly
changed their vote in it's favor. They
were Joined in the vote by two new
arrivals, who seemed to have beer
brought forward by the railroad lob
by for this special occasion.

| He worked for his brother, Mr.. A.

FEAST FOR HUSBANDS
United Commercial Travellers
Treated Last Night.
CARDS AND DANCING
Helped to Make a Very En-
joyabIe Evening.

The wives of the members of the Unit
ed Commercial Travellers Of this city last
night gave an elaborate supper to the
members Of the order in X. of P. hall.
It was merry gathering and convivialty'
dancing, cards, wit and conversation made
the hours speed all too rapidly.
The menu which was prepared by the
ladies consisted OF very dehcacy and sub
stantiaIty of the season. It was $50 when
the party sat down to the tables and for
an hour and half the courses were serv-
ed in the most approved style. over
coffee toasts were made. Messrs. Here
ford, Fulton, Beatty, Niles, Mcknight.
Englehardt and Noble responded. Each
one made very appropriate, humorous
or witty speech. The evening was then
devoted TO amusements. WaltZes, two
steps and quadrills were INDUCED in,
while others played cards or sat about and
spent the evening in conversation. a
string band furnished me,odious music for
the dancers who tripped over a canvas
1t was the initial social function given
by the ladies to their husbands and friends
and was a most successful affair in every
way The gentlemen were loud in their
praise of the genuine hospitality which
had been extended TO them and it was
with regret that the late hour compelled
them TO leave so charming an assembly,
where nothing but the best of good nature
prevailed. For a first affair, there has
never been anything of the kind that prov
ed more Of a success and was more thor
oughly enjoyed.

LAST NIGHTS MEETING
Many Sign Confession Cards Rev
Or. Brandt Preached

Although the sudden change in the
weather has caused the congregations at
the evangelistic services to be small in
size, yet the spirit of the meetings is
growing in power and interest each day.
Many have signed the confession cards.
The afternoon prayer meetings have been
full of earnest. determined Christians
waiting upon God for the Outpouring Of
His spirit. and many have received ans
wers to prayers.
The Thanksg giving sermon OF the Rev.
Dubber yesterday was a faithful presen-
tation of the helps and hindrances to the
progress of our government. the greatest
danger to our country now being the
apathy of the majority of church MEM
bers as to the moral status Of the people.
The speaker closed with an earnest plea
for Christians to be awake to the dis
charge of their whole duty.
Last night Rev DIR. Bradt preached on
the theme. Come now, let US reason to-
gether, saith the Lord The doctor
showed clearly that if any one will calm

istence of God. In the truth of ;he Bible,
in the value of a Christian life, and in the
certainty of the fulfllment of God 5
promise TO redeem and pardon every one
who Will accept Of the offers made.
The services of song, prayer and the
sermon were very impressive. A stiffness
of awe rested over the congregation
throughout the entire evening, and the
Holy Spirit was evidently doing mis- office
work. Stop and reason. brother, before
you make up your mind fully 20 ignore
