Communicated. g-szNs~
At the home of eher parents in
Broussardv,lle, on Friday, Sept. 8,
1899, at $3.50 M, Marie Isabelle,
daughter of George Malagarie and
Cecile St. Julien, aged IL years, 6
months and z days.
The Death Angel came down and
in its wings wrapped the spirit of a
ycungsbut courageous soul; a soul
who fled this world without ever
h wing deviated from the path of
truth and virtue. Isabelle was of
kind and amiable disposition and
all who knew her learned to admire
her sweet character. The love and
esteem in which she was held could
not have been more sincerely ex-
pressed than by the large number
of friends who paid tribute to her
memory by following her mortal
remains to their last resting place
in the Catholic graveyard. There
she was laid to rest, at peace for
ever; serene and untroubled, as
though amid all who mourn in sor-
row yet, she only was free from
grief. Though bitter the affection
to those near and dear may divine
Mercy yet show forth in tender
benedIctiOn to those who mourn.

But thou shalt know hereafter''

zH1EPEz I7ION.

At the political meeting held a
Falk's hall on Sept.-e a petition
was presented for circulation among
the voters of this parish. In this
petition is embodied a request thai
the Democratic executive commit
tee order a white primary ''for the
selection of all candidates for dis
trict and local Offices 1t is also
recommended that the qualification
of the voter shall be a pledge to
vote for the candidates chosen at
the primary.
The Democratic executive com
mittee Of this parish is the accred-
tied agent of the Democracy and
has nothing to do with the wishes,
expressed or implied. of anyone
outside of the party. We infer
tina, the committee will be called
upon to order a primary in which
all voters, irrespective of their poll
tics, will participate. Anything of
this sort is clearly untenable. A
ticket nominated by such non
descript affair would be neither fish
nor fowl and not evea an inferior
brand of red herring.
The only kind Of primary that
the executive committee can call is
a Democratic primary at which
Democrats will vote. The Demo-
Gratis will nominate their ticket in
the good old Democratic way and
they will elect it with an old fash
Toned Democratic majority. There
is no question about that.
If our friends, the Republicans,
choose to nominate a ticket, they
may have primary Of their own
That's their privilege and no one
will or can deny it to them. But
this proposition to have white
primary to be participated in by
Democrats, Republicans and Pop
llists will find no advocates among
those who wish to see the success Of
he Democratic party, and we are
sure it will receive no encourage
nent al the hands of the executive
: committee, the members Of which
ire true and tried Democrats.

A.s."<uisneu son, simply because he
helped to make the Industrial
School a lasting monu 1>ent of the
progressive citizens of one of the
finest parishes in the State of
Louisiana.
trial School as temporary thing,
for it is not. 1t is an institution
for all time. A hundred years from
now it will be amongst our descend
ants, a hundred times better eqoip-
ped, hundred times more efficient.
Its influence will have spread, and
the parish of Lafayette will point
with pride to the school, and honor
the memory of those whose public
spirit built it.
The school is to be counterpart
of the Ruston school. The Ruston
school is not only giving thorough
instruction in mechanics, black
smithing, carpentering, engineering,
electricity. chemistry, biology,
scientific farming, cooking, sewing,
printing, ETC., but collegiate
course in addition. Four studies
and one industrial study is required
OF each pupil per day. The work
is thorough and wien the pupil
finishes, he is not a half way pro-
fcient, but is complete, all around |
master Of his trade.
The tuition is free. 1t will never
cost one cent of tuition to attend |
this school, and such a school will |
give every child in the parish
chance to fit himself for life with |
trade or vocation which he can not
lose. Money may be lost, but
knowledge remains; as long as a
man has knowledge he is in a posi-
ton to rise.
Now we have the opportunity, an
opportunity that comes but once,
to secure such school, and if we
allow our neighbors to get it we
will regret it a thousand times.
We should not forget, too, that
every cent we donate to the school
will be spent right here in the par
ish. 1t does not go off to some
other State, but is put right back
in circulation, SO that it will help
US by making money more plentiful /.
Besides the State will spend from
$500 to $4,000 every year in it's
support. That too will be placed :

State will spend additional sums in
charging and supplying the school

By all means do not lay idle, but /

oors to do likewise. We positively {
SAINT afford to let the school go t

New Use for CnrnstaIks.

A series of experiments which have
been carried on for some time past by
the agricultural department have re-
Gently developed a new use for corn
stalks, from which very valuable
horse. and cattle food can now be made.
The department has done n great deal
of work with cornstall<s in the past
year and has developed several valu-
able uses for them, namely cofferdam
packing for warships, high grade of
writing paper, the basis for smoke
less powder superior to the picric acid
powders, several other uses. The new
cattle food is made 10y grinding the dry
cornstallSs, leaves and tops, 90 pow
der and mixing it with blood and mo-
lasses or both. This is pressed into
cakes under hydraulic press, and can
be shipped as easily as bricks or cord
wood. For feeding it is broken up and
mixed with water.

TRANSVAAL WAR ITEMS.

Enlistments for the Boer army, il
was learned on the 27th, are making
some progress in New York, though
more men are volunteering in Philadel-
phia and other places. The recruits
are found chiefly among the Irishmen,
although Germans and men of other
nationalities are also volunteering to
fight under the Boer flag. Some dozens
of young Irishmen have already left
New York for the Transvaal, but the
largest recruiting is done in Chicago
and other western cities, San Francisco
sending her quota.
Presidents Pruger and Steyn have
instructed Gems. Joubert and Comic not
to split their forces into small detach-
ments, but to strike vigorous blows.
Gen. Joubert has three corps, one hold
ing Ladysmith, the second command
ing the Tugela, and the third, east of
Estcourt, in order to cut off the British
retreat. Gen. Cronjes forces are di-
vided into three contingents one at
Kimberley, another at Modder river
and the third in the rear of Gen
Methuen.
The latest returns from the Modder
River engagement says that Gen. Me-
thuen, of the British forces, and sew
eral other officers were wounded. 1t
is also added that Methuen's wound is
slight, being flesh wound in the
thigh. The above report is taken from
London dispatch and it is believed to
be greatly modified.
The transports Scot, with SO British
officers and / ,0s6 men, and the Bavar-
ian, with SO officers and 2,slo men ar
rived at Cape Town on the 2sth.
The Canadian contingent of troops
for South Africa arrived at Cape Town
on Nov. 30, and were given grand re-
ception.
From Boer source IL is learned that
their loss at Belmont was only IL
kille1 and 40 wounded.

An Effort to Recruit G. A. r..

Department Commander Pealer, of
the G. A. H., in Michigan, is making a
strong effort Co recruit the order. He
has just issued general order No. ., in
which he states that there are now 3S5
posts'in. the state, and it is impossible
to visit them all, he makes some sug-
gestions for the work of the coming
winter First he would have great
care exercised in the selection of post
officers at the approaching elections.
The new officers, he says, should be
the mostcompetent and loyal men to
be found in the posts. They should all
be recruiting officers. There should be
no schemes to keep comrades out of the
G. A. Il. No political considerations
should be allowed TO influence the ac-
ton OF members. Especially it is urged
that an effect be made to win back old
members who have fallen out of the
ranks. Each post is ordered TO make u
special effort TO secure at least five new
members within the next three months.

most horrible and brutal murder
was committed in Detroit on the even
ing of the I'd. The victim was John
M. Reindel who conducted a bicycle
repair shop on Grswold street, next
door TO the Capital Square Theater.
AS Mr.. Reindel was known to always
carry quito u roll of money it was at
first thought that the killing was the
work of n burglar, who committed the
deed in order to cover up any clue to
his identity. Later, however, man
by the name Of Thomas Benton applied
at police headquarters for admittance,
and after being given a cell, physi-
clans was called, who, after making an
examination, pronounced the man in
sane. When questioned Benton adj
mitted that he knew Reindel, and that
he killed him and then poured gasoline
upon his clothing and set it afire.
Whether the insane man committed
the deed with the intent of robbery, or
whether IL was just an insane desire to
kill is a mystery.

Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary of
state for the colonies, in speech at a
luncheon at Leicester, Eng, on the
3Oth, said that ever since the great
split in the liberal party he had found
himself mark for the SANDERS and
misrepresentation of the "baser sort
of politicians" but that he had found
compensation in the generous appre-
citation of the majority of his country
men. Continuing Mr.. Chamberlain
said he was deeply gratified that the
foreign relations of Great Britain were
so satisfactory and he asserted that the
country owed debt of gratitude to
Lord Salisbury for the great improve
ment in Great Britain's position. 1t
was especially gratifying, he said, to
note the friendly relations existing be-
tween the Anglo-SaXon branches, say
ing that the understanding between
the United States and Great Britain
was indeed a guarantee of the peace Of
the world. This statement was greeted
with cheers. In speaking of the atti-
tude of foreign nations Mr.. Chamber
lain said he hoped that the friendly
feeling that now existed between the
two great branches of the Anglo-Saxon
race would continue.

Secretary of War Root Submits His First
Annual Report Boasts
OF the Friendly Relations Between
England and the United States.
Secretary of War Roots First Report


The first annual report of Secretary
of War Root, made public on the LIST,
is of exceptional interest, dealing as it
does with large questions of insular
policy; of army reorganization; of the
future of Cuba, and of the campaign in
the Philippines. The report begins
with recital of the policy followed in
recognizing the army in accordance
with the necessities arising from the
discharge of the state volunteers and
of the men enlisted for the Spanish
American war, and gives statistics of
the past and present strength of the
organization, covering in that respect
matters dealt with in the reports OF
the major-general commanding and of
the acknowledgement.
The regular army is distributed as fol-
lows: In Cuba, officers, 1874; enlisted
men, 10, 796; in Porto Rico, officers, 81;
enlisted men. 2,s55; on the continent of
North America, officers, 90; enlisted
men, 1877; in Hawaii, officers, IL; en-
listed men, 453; in the Philippine ISL
ands, officers, 005; enlisted men, 3O,57s.
All the new regiments of volunteers
are in the Philippine islands or on the
way to the Philippines. The regular
army has been increased to the num-
Der of 81 800 enlisted men and 2,24s
officers, making n total OF Ga ,2l7, and a
new volunteer force has been raised
from the country at large, numbering
33,O50 enlisted men and 1924 officers
making an aggregate of 1854.

There is great excitement at Benton
Harbor among fruit buyers. The new
law that all commission firms must give
bond of 81, 900 in each county where
they do business, so that dissatisfied
growers can sue them, has brought
word from the leading Chicago firms
that they will not give a bond, but
rather keep out of the state. There is
likely TO be reconstruction of the
fruit business in this state, and the
fruit will be brought direct instead of
being bought on consignment.

right In addition thereto there were
25 soldiers wounded and something
over 100 squaws and Indian children
captured by the military forces. These

the military authorities to be held as
hostages. The place where this en-
gagement took place is on the Yaqui
river, just at the entrance to the noun

very heavily wooded and hence the en-
