Coal Oil in Water.

DR.. l. E. Snute, of Opelousas, La. i.
calls attention to the use OF coal oil in
drinking water. HE says: 'Some
years ago | saw Creole pour coal oil
into his cistern. and on inquiring for
what purpose. was informed that the
oil prevented all insects from enter
ing the water, and would clean out the
wiggletsils and wood lios, so went to
experimenting. l took barrel of
rain water, full of wisgletails and
wood lice, poured in tablespoonful of
coal oil, stirred up the water, an hour
afterwards no living insect was to be
found in the barrel. the water being as
clear as crystal, the oil only Showing
on top and the taste sweet and pure.
l believe it purifics the water. as VOL
as prevents the formation of germs.
l am now in the habit when called to a
case of fever of asking if their drinking
water has been coal-oiled. and il not. |
order an ordinary gobletful of the oil
to large cistern. Also. l believe it
prevents all diseases originating in i'm
pure water.-Msdical Summary.

RAKsDELL FOR CONGRESS.

In another column appears the
card OF Hon. Jos. f. RansdelI, an
nouncing himself as candidate for
reelection TO Congress from the
Fifth Congressional District of Lou

edged as foregone conclusion that
Mr.. Ransdell will be his own sue

anything IN commentator of the
efficient services he has already rend-
cred his constituents. We leave

Chairman Parker has issued call
for the Executive Committee to
meet in Monroe on the 25th of this
month, for the purpose of naming a

district for the seth Congress. lie
has also issued instructions to the
Secretary to request each member
Of the Executive Committee to as
certain from the people their wishes
as to the mode of selecting the can
didate, whether by white primary
or convention. On this matter
there is no doubt whatever as to the
sentiment of the people. The dis
trlct as a whole is overwhelmingly
in favor of the primary system of
nomination, and there will be hardly
any opposition to it. There is no
fairer way of selecting a nominee
than by primary election, as was
demonstrated by the last primary.
We do not think that there Will
be any opposition whatever to Mr..
Ransdell. He will have smoothe

Captain Chas. L. Potter, engineer
in charge of the levee district from
Memphis to Vicksburg, has just
made thorough inspection of the
levees and reventment works IN his
district. He said that while the con-
dition of the levees is upon the whole
satisfactory, it is apparent that con-
siderable work will be necessary in
order TO make them perfectly safe.
The Herald says that after talking
TO Col. Potter il is evident that he
will recommend liberal appropri-
ations to be made for the carving
on OF the levee aud revetment work.
Captain Tolleneer, his assistant,
who made the trip of inspection
with Capt. Potter, says that from
Goodrich to Salem it may bel neces-
. sarv to build a new line of levee as
there are signs of caying.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NOM
NATION.

Monroe Daily Star.
1t is generally conceded that there
will be no opposition TO the nomina-
ton of Hon. Jos. E. Ransdell for
congress, and that being the case,
there is no reason why the nominal
ton should be delayed.
The executive committee should
be convened on at least thirty days
notice and the primary for making
the nomination should be ordered to
take place as coon after the national
convention as practicable. The is
sue on which the campaign is to be
waged will then be definitely known
and the people can then intelligently
consider the questions presented and
give their representative such In
structions as they desire.
In this connection it is not out of
place to refer briefly to the record
MIR. Ransdell has made in congress.
The district has never had a more
indefatigible worker and he has been
in thorough accord with his party on
all issues.
The most important and far reach
ing work that he has undertaken is
the Improvement of the Ouachita
river 80 as to afford all the year
round navigation in it aud trib.
utaries. He initiated the work
in the convention that was held in
this city last fall and while the time
was too short on account of the mag
nitude of the undertaking In which
to secure the necessary legislation at
the session just adjourned the work
is well advanced and there Is every
reason to hope that the bill will
pass at the winter session.
If Mr.. Rsnsdell should accomplish
nothing else during his congressional
career this achievement alone would
entitle him to the gratitude and gen.
erous support of the people, for II is
far and beyond the most important
measure that concerns the district,
and when consummased. will enhance
the wealth of the Ouachita valley an
hNndred fold.
What has already been done is due
almost entirely TO his initiative and
subsequent intelligent, persistent eff
fort and he should be retired to
congress to carry out the great
work.

Last Tuesday the old and the new

stated that for the past four years his

glad to be relieved of the RESPONSE

regret in severing his official connec-

had gotten along SO pleasantly for the

Nicholson also made a few remarks to
the same point. stating that his rela-
tions WITH his fellow members could
not have been more pleasant. Mr..
Quays stated that he had been a men,
Der of the Police Jury since 1888, and
that he gave way to his successor with
pleasant recollections of the past

severed his connection with it with
