REMARKABLE WEATHER.-The
present week has been a most re-
markable one in weather conditions
for this section of the country. Be-
ginning Monday morning there pre-
vailed a fall temperature that was
simply delightful after the continu-
Gus sultry, showery, steaming days
from June l up to that period.
The temperature as furnished by
Mr.. Chas. Davis, Weather Bureau
Observer, was as follows: 18th,
Cos; 18th, $50; 13, 65; 14th, GAS.
No previous meteorological data,
since the establishment of the SER
vice at this point, over a quarter of
a century, has recorded such a low
temperature in July. On July II,
1894, the thermometer marked G5.

No Modelling.

From the Chicago Chronicle.]
In the present temper of the Amer.
lean nation it is as certain as anything
can be that any proposition looking
to European congress" to pass up
on terms of peace between the United
States and Spain will not be consid-
cred for moment. This country is
not reduced to the position of Turkey.
We are not in the habit of taking or
ders from anyone. We are not going
to begin at this time of all others.
Certainly we are not going to allow
the vultures of Europe to gorge them
selves upon the fruits of our victory.
And that is what the reported un-
derstanding between Russia, France
and Germany means. All three of
those powers have an eye upon the
Philippines; oil OF them hope to profit
by the Spanish American war as
they profted by the Chino-Japa-
nese war. Nothing but hunger
for plumber could effect an entente
between France and Germany. It is
the prospect of repeating in the Phil
ippines the proceedings at Port Au-
thur, Kiao-C Chou aud Ta-Lien-Wan
that causes these hereditary foes to
forget for the time being their stand
ing quarrel and to join hands in
scheme for futher land grabbing.
But if such plan is in contempla-
tion-and there is good ground for
believing that it is-it is predestined
to failure. Theretention of the Phil
ippines, of the Ladrones and of Porto
Rico will not be submitted to an Gin
ternational council" at Berlin or any,
where else. 1t will be decided by rep
resentatives Of the United States and
OF Spain and the agreement reached
will not be subject to the veto OF any
European power or combination of
powers.
Standing alone, the United States
would defy the new triple alliance.
With the moral support of Great
Britain and Japan she is in position
to ignore it altogether. When terms
OF peace are to be concluded the me-
gotiations will be conducted fairly
and honorably, but they will not be
subject to the supervision and review
of the associated claim jumpers of
st. Petersburg, Berlin and Paris.
The outsider who NEEDLES in This
difficulty will get his knuckes skin

A Terrible Accident.

Shreveport Times.]
A terrible accident occurred at the
saw mill of Allen, Wadley & Co., in
Allentown, Saturday afternoon in
which one young man lost his life and
three others were badly injured.
It was one of those unexpected,
unaccountable indescribable acct
dents that often happen and for which
no good reason is known to exist.
The big saw in the mill was work
ing as we'll as it ever did on Saturday
afternoon, and the carrier had just
been ran back with big log on it
rea ly to be carried against the saw
for another cut, when the saw flew in
to hundred pieces. The power was
quickly shut off and an investigation
made which revealed sad sight.
Floyd Bryan, young white man, was
found lying in his own blood, his
body having been literally cnt open
from his breast down. He was al
most instantly killed and it is not
thought that he suffered any pain so
great and paralyzing must have been
the shock to his nervous system.
Everything possible was done for
the injured men, while the body of
the other unfortunate was tenderly
prepared and carried to the homo if
his widowed mother, whore sorrow
full scene ensued, the poor boy hav.
ing been her only support.
As saw mill firms usually carry d
large amount of accident insurance,
the injured men will come in for their
share, and the widow will be taken

To the Voters of the Third Railroad
Commission District:

In announcing my candidacy for
Railroad Commissioner, I deem it
appropriate by way of introduction,
TO say l was born in the State of
Alabama thirty-seven years ago,
and for my ancestral history l refer
you to the old citizens of Oxford and
Iron City in that State. l have
resided in this District twenty-five
years, and as to my moral and poiit-
ical character, refer to the good
people of Bossier, Ouachita and
Richland parishes, especially to the
citizens of Haughton, Monroe and
Rayville, among whom l have lived.
I do not claim credit for any
special service rendered, but am
conscious of having performed at all
times and under all circumstances
my whole duty to the Democratic
party. l have had sixteen years
practical experience in the various
departments of the Railroad service,
but principally in the transportion
department.
During the last six years l have
been engaged in the mercantile
business end planting.
My position on the question Of a
Railroad Commission is as follows:
While employed with the Vicksburg,
Shreveport and Pacific Railroad
Company l conceived the idea that
we needed a Commission to protect
the Railroads from the insatiate de-
mands of certain interests and local
tiles. Later on l found that the
Railroads and their former foes had
formed an alliance whereby compe-
tition in the jobbing trade in this
District had been practically killed,
hence was convinced of the necessity
of Commission to protect the ill.,
terests of all, and when the question
was raised in our late Constitutional
Convention, and when l found that
the wholesalers were marshaline
their forces to support the Railroads
in their effort to defeat the will oil
the great majority, l entered my
humble plea ia behalf of the people,
and take, | trust pardonable pride
in stating that my efforts aided il
securing the adoption of the ordi
nance creating the Commission. Or
this point l refer you to the member:
of the Convention who conducted
the legislation. Now l have seer
both sides of the question, have NJ
prejudice except against the wrong
and believe l can see the rights o
every interest. Ipromise with al
the fervor Of my nature that if elect
ed duty and justice shall be my
guide. With these statements made
solicit the honor of your support
| Respectfully.
