Two of the children of Mr..
Leonce Pellerin are reported to
have scarlstina fever, which it is
believed, was contracted in New
Iberia. The children are doing
we'll and will be up shortly. The
attending physicians on this dis
ease should take all the necessary
precautions to prevent the spread
of this disease, which is very seri-
GUS, and often fatal, particular up
on children.

ACCORDING to the result OF the
election in Iberia parish, Mr.. T..
ID. Foster is the nominee for Dis
trict Judge, and Mr.. "A. N. Muller
for District Attorney. We now
expect both of these gentlemen to
make the coming campaign with
the Democratic nominees, and
help down the boilers.
The politicians of both sides,
the regular Democrats and the
boilers have been very actively at
work during the past few days,
and we presume, that things poll
tical, will be kept hot until the
election, on the 18th day Of April
next.
The irrigation canal is about

thing ready for operation.
Mr.. w. o. Pipes, formerly edi-

vote his entire time to the duties
of his Office, after the election of
April next.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Early Decline and Subsequent Rise
in Wheat and Corn.

CHICAGO, May 4.-Wheat, owing to the
SD decline at Liverpool and further
break in corn, ruled easier in the first part
OF the session. Later the market turned
firm and advanced almost cent a bushel
on buying for local account on the appre-
tensions of dry weather and reports of
chinch bugs in the South and Southwest.
The narrowing OF the differences between
May and July also excited bullish in
nuence. -r.
There was a weak set Of corn Ca
bles, the Liverpool spot being off Ia
l lid. Western advices were of continued
free country offerings The shipping de-
mand here kept small. Futures at one
time showed loss Of 1-2c to 3-4c, with the
May increasing its discount. Toward the
close corn felt the wheat rally. July re-
covered all its early decline and May like
wise. Receipts were 149 cars, with 245 for
tomorrow. Clearances for the week were
3,4l1, 600 bushels.
Oats in a small way felt the corn weak

lures. Country offerings of oats, however,
were light, and the close showed only 1-Sc

SYNDICATE TO RAISE FUNDS
Washin ytOn Traction and Electric
Company Needs 100000.

The Washington Traction and Electric
syndicate wishes to raise $4,000, 900 for
the compile !on of its extensive improve
ments. The plans of the syndicate have
developed year by year since they were
originally formed. and it is stated that
the working capital has proven insufficient
by at least the amount above named. No
arrangement has been made as yet for
raising the funds, and no plan has been
agreed upon but a meeting of the stock
holders will be called in a few days and
a number of proposed schemes discussed.
The raising OF the money Will, In some
form, be a voluntary contribution by the
stockholders of that amount. An officer
OF the syndicate is authority for this
statement.
The scope of the syndicate did not origi-
nally include the purchase of the City
and Suburban Railway, or OF the Glen
Echo line. 1t was thought best to acquire
these lines, however, and this was done
with the consent of the stockholders, who
are. for the most part, the original syndi-
cate itself The special work, Of con-
Meeting the different lines inside the city
limits. by switches and curves has also
been much more extensive than was at
first expected, and, owing to the high
price of materials, being much more costly.
In addition TO these extra expenses the
Great Falls rood has been improved much
more extensively than was at first con-
templated, owing TO the requirement OF
the Great Falls power rights and the
plans for furnishing from 1t a large part
of the power for running the syndicate
lines.
These large expenditures have been made
at the expense Of other work, which must
be done, but which has been postponed 10

this time. The chief expenditures yet to
be made, and the ones which will require
large part of the $4,000 600, are in the
extension of the power plants of the syn
dictate.
Several plans for raising the money lave
been submitted. One of these contem-
plates the surrender of 100000 of the
common stock of the syndicate by the
stockholders. This stock would then be
reissued as preferred stock and deposited
with a trust company as collateral for

The. climax Of dulness and insignifcance
was reached In the stock market yester-
day, business being smaller than at any
time before this year and fluctuations only
fractional for the most part. Even Sugar
failed to furnish any interest the extreme
of its fluctuations being less than two
points, from rs, the opening and high
price, to 1l3 Ia, the lowest. There was
no particular trend in prices, small move
ments both upward and downward being
shown as a net result Of the session. Per-
haps the larger number Of changes were
advances. Business was almost wholly
confined to the professionals. The holders
Of securities refuse TO sell out, quite nat
urally, despite all the bear talk, and the
buying is of a much better quality than
the selling, what there is of it, The mar
ket Is passing through one of these periods
of dullness on the bottom of a bear raid,
which many consider one OF the best inci-
cations OF an early advance.
There is much speculation as to the
complexion OF the bank statement today.
The banks have lost in exports and to
the Sub Treasury something like 81 00,OCO,
1t is estimated. There have been heavy
gains from the interior. though their
extent is net known. The loan account is
