St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1899-09-09

MoNAN NE by one the regiments OF the
N country's soldiers are reaching
their native land from the scene
of their contest in the Philippines.
They have fought well against the en-
emy and grateful country pays them
tribute for their patriotism. The for
tunes of war have crowned some or
ganizations with imperishable glory,
while others, through lack of oppor-
tunity, have done little to distinguish
themselves. They were simply not in
the positions where they had the same
chance to fight that had Funston's Kan
sans, the Nebraskans, the Oregons, and
some others. Their places are being
taken by the regulars and the volun-
teers enlisting under the regular army
rules, and the citizen soldiery will soon
disperse to gladden. individual homes
and to awaken sorrow in other homes to
which there is no returning son and
brother In the midst of gladness the
sorrow-stricken will be remembered
and many a tear of friends will mingle
with the tears of the bereaved. Regret
table as it is that any loss of life oc-
Cured, yet are the country and the sur
vivors to be congratulated that the
death list is no longer.
The American losses, until July IS,
were 2S3 killed in battle, while from all
causes 693 gave up their lives. 1t is
remarkably small percentage of casual
ties in campaign of such activity as
characterized the operations in our
new possessions. Five committed sui
eide, one died of apoplexy, 10 were ac-
cidentally drowned, from sickness 275,
and from wounds 90 died. There were
wounded 1891 and four are missing.

MILLS DESIRABLE
They Would Help the Zine Market,
Help the Jack Market and Help
Increase lola.

The Joplin Globe has Just heard of
the much talked.of zinc rolling mills
which the Lanyon Iinr company
has planned to erect 10 lola, and gives
the following sensible business rea-
sons why the plant would prosper:
at is reported that the Lanyon
Zinc company are making plans for
the erection of zinc rolling mill and
will engage in the manufacture Of
zinc shingles on an extensive scale in
the near future. If this report is true,
and it comes from excellent authority,
the commencement of the solution of
one of the most important questions
before producers of ore and metal is at
hand. Once the manufacture of zinc
shingles is commenced on large
scale their introduction aud sale will
be pushed with the energy and in
telligence characteristic of all enter
prises in which large amount of
capital is embarked. There is no
reason why zinc should not be used
for the roofing of great public build
ings in this country as we'll as in
Europe, and when several big con-
Germs are engaged in the manufacture
of zinc roofing the natural competition
of business concerns will assist in
rapidly bringing the material to the
notice of the public.
The introduction of zinc roofing on a
large scale would go farther to settle
all veXatious questions between ore
producers and consumers than any
thing else that could be devised, as
In its manufacture nothing but zinc
would be required and large quanti-
ties would be consumed. In Europe
a quantity nearly equal to the entire
weekly output of this district is used
for roofing alone, while In this coun-
try nearly if not quite go per cent of
the metal produced Is used by the
galvanizers, making both the metal
and ore industries dependent upon
the condition of the iron markets as
regards prices and demands"

Zinc Ore DemOralized.

The following statement was sent
out from Joplin last week concerning
the ore market: "Hinc ore continues
to decline, and the sit"atiOn in the
Missouri-Kansas mining district is
growing worse Smelters only offer
S35 a ton for high grade zinc ore,
which is IS below the schedule price.
Very little ore is being bought, the
smelters claiming tat, with the low
price of spelter, they cannot pay as
sociation prices. Last week the AS
sociation cut the prices $3 on all
grades of zinc ore, making $40 the
top price for high grade ore, which
has been bringing S43. The de-
moralized state of the ore market is
materially reducing the output of ore
1t costs 80 per cent more to mine zinc
now than a year ago, owing to the ad-
vances in miners wages and prices of
mining machinery, supplies and coal.

Dog TnN Must BE Paid.

The dog tax case Of j. w. Sugg is
well known in lola. He refused to
pay the local tax, the district court
said he must, he carried 1t into the
supreme court and that tribunal Sat
urday made its decision, of which
the following is "a report:
"The cOurt'also decided another i'm
portant constitutional question. j..
w. Sugg, OF lola, owned a dog an |
was arrested for falling to pay the
dog tax, being prosecuted under the
city ordinances. He was not satisfied
and appealed to the district court,
claiming that hIs dog was personal
property and thereby not subject to a
special tax. The district court held
against him and the case was brought
to the supreme court, which ailirms
the decision of the lower court, and
he must pay the fine aud costs and go
to jail in accordance with the pro-
visions of the local ordinance. This
ends the quarrels which cities have
been having for years over the ques-
tion Of a dog tax. People will have
this tax to pay if they keep dogs. "

Famous Old Case Recalled.

Mrs. Sarah l.. Larimer, whose home
is now in Enid, Okla, was in lola
Monday, having driven up from
Hum bOldt where she owns property.
Her name is familiar to many of the
old residents, as she figured in one of
the longest and most widely known
suits ever held in the A lien county
court. Mrs Larimer was a captive Of
the Sioux Indians at the same time
that Fanny Kelly was, but she was
held only short time. Fanny Kelly
was.a captive for years and wrote a
book entitled captivity by the
Sioux" the manuscriptuof when she
claimei when she gained her Liberty
Mrs. LaIimer had obtained from her
while they were both IN captivity.
Mrs. Larimer published the book and
Fanny Kelley sued her when she re-
turned to civilization, The case was
entered upon the docket and dragged
along until 1874. Preston b. Plumb
of Emporia, was attorney for Fanny
Kelly and II. w. Talcott, afterwards
judgsin this district, was the de.
fendant's attorney. John r.. Goodin
was judge and John Woodin sheriff
at the time. The case wac fought
from start to finish and finally re-
solved itself into the question of who
should pay the costs Mrs. Larimer

ever taken from one of our exchanges,
reads as if 1t were written with full
knowledge Of the facts and we print
it believing that 1t may be relied on
"The compensation to be paid to
enumerators is fixed by section 16 of
the act of March 3, 1890, and q mini
mum rate of two cents for each living
inhabitant, two cents for each death.
fifteen cents for each farm, and
twenty cents for each establishment

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1899-10-14

Professor Lyons suggests that the
epidemic of coughing among horses may
be due either to the salt in the water
with which the streets are sprinkled or
10 organic impurities in the water due
to the fact that it is taken from the har-
Dor close to the shore and may be i'm
pregnated with sewage. If it is the
salt it may affect the horses through
impregnating the air as it dries and
causing an irritation of the throat or
bronchial tubes; or from constantly
keeping the ground damp affecting
horses by colds through the feet. When
it was first proposed to use salt water
for street sprnkling there was objec-
tion to it. and it was suggested that the
experiment offered opportunity for
careful investigation and observation
that might settle the veXed question of
whether salt water should be used for
street sprinkling or not.

The correspondence from Guam pub
lished in another column indicates an
excellent state of affairs in that new
possession of the United States. The
people are said to be proud to be under
the American flag and the suggestive
description given of them indicates
that they are ready for the progress
and advancement which will come iwth
American Government. The writer is
an American of good hard common
sense who has been a frontiersman and
has the keen, practical way of looking
at things which experience in new
countries gives. His rather blunt and
unstudied way of saying that mission
airy work to be successful must be car
ried on through capable agencies, may
seem a little harsh TO good intentions.
But after all he really only voices the
opinions of tho5e most experienced in
missionary work, and the beliefs upon
which the great missionary societies
and advancement which will come with
work. There is scarcely a mis-
sionary society report made which does
not dwell on the need of mentally well
equipped workers in the missionary
field The ideas he expresses are in
fact the theory upon which the Ameri-
can Board acted in sending mission
aries to the Hawaiian Islands.

BY the death of Rev. DR.. Charles NJ.
Hyde notable and influential man has
been called from his laborers. He
came here to missionary labor at a
difficult stage of missionary effort in
the Islands. The Islands were nomi-
nally Christian. The old heather re-
ligion as system was gone, but frag-
ments of its influence and supersti-
tions remained. The missionaries at
the period al which he came had not
TO call on the Hawaiians to forsake a
system of gods many and lords many
whose worship was a religion of fear
for a better purer system of religion
whose principle was love. But they
were called on to preach and work
among a people nominally Christian,
but influenced by the heredity OF a
pagan religion. The call to a Christian
life addressed to people in this stage
of advancement had peculiar difficult
ties. The work lacked the heroic fea-
lures of earlier missionary effort and
yet was not less difficult. 1t is the
eulOgy of DR.. Hyde's life and work
that he brought to these peculiar diff
culties the resources of great natural
capacity, intellectual cultivation, prac-
teal sense, undaunted courage, tact
and Astounding industry. He grasped
the needs and supplied them. His
labors covered a wide field. 1t touched
many lines of endeavor for Thea better
ment of Hawaii and the world. To
each he seemed to bring the special
qualifications required for that part-
cular work. He has left his impress
on the religious and intellectual devel-
opment of Hawaii. 1t was to be ex-
pected that so strong a character as
DR.. Hyde should raise antagonisms in
some quarters. A man who was as
essentially man who did things, who
was effective, and not merely specula-
tive or theoretical, as DR.. Hyde would
Inevitably in the course of a long life
take positions and enter controversies
which the fuller information of the
afterwards" could not wholly endorse.
But the sum of his labors is a proud
monument to his memory.
