Railroad To Be Built to LeesyiIle.

Crowley, March 2O.-Arrange-
ments are being made to build a
new railroad from this place to con-
meet with the Kansas City Southern
at Leesville. The plans for the con-
strnction of the new road have been
talked of for some time, but not
until to-day was any definite infor-
nation given out. The road is to
be constructed with Northern cap
ital. The gentlemen who have
been quietly looking into the mat
ter are: w. c. Orr, Champagne,
Ill. J. c. Braden, Chicago; Thos.
Sherwood, Kansas City; VIM. A.
Aarons, Leesville. They arrived
here several days ago, and quietly
felt the city and made an overland
trip of the proposed route to Lees
vile. They returned here yester-
day. They stated to Times Demo
crat representative that the road
would be extended southwark from
this city through to Vermillion Bay,
which would be made a deepwater
harbor. The party left early this
morning overland for Abbeville,
and will return here tomorrow.

America in the Markets of the World.

Washington, March 20.-In a re.
port to the State Department Con.
sui General at Frankfort. Germany
submits a recent publication, in
which the Frankfort Chamber of
Commerce calls attention to the
growing American competition in
the markets of the world. The
publication says the harbor anthori
ties of Calcutta advertised for bids
on locomotives. The lowest Eng
lish bid was $7349 for each, the
time of delivery to be limited to
nine months; the lowest Ameri-
can bid was $599S, the time of de
livery to be limited to six months.
The American firm received the
contract a recent contract for
furnishing large quantity Of east
iron pipes for the Dutch colonies
was awarded to an American firm,
which bid nearly 20 per cent lower
than German competitors. Large
orders for rails recently were placed
in America from Holland. The
English government has been obliged
to give the Americans preference
over their own works on account of
the extremely low prices and the
quick time of delivery. The con-
sui general says American competi-
ton will be greatly felt, and es-
pecially in the Chinese market
after hOstilities cease.

Duty. The following from the N.
w. School journal, is practical and
should be read by all who find it
difficuilt to harmonize inclination
and duty.
"There are many teachers, and
good teachers, who think that be-
ing agreeable and gentle and sweet
tempered is a substitute for the
stern integrity that does not falter
before the highest demand of duty.
AS long as everything runs
smoothly they are all right. But
when the trumpet-call to duty
sounds they loiter in inglorious
ease.
Gentleness, agreeableness and
sweetness are all well enough in
their places, but there comes a time
to every teacher when she must
firmly face duty.
1t is most unpleasant task to
punish pupil, yet often duty and
justice demand it. Bnt it is written,
"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do, do it with thy might" When
wickedness, or disobedience, raises
its head in the schoolroom, there
is nothing to do but to smite it
without mercy

ling, boxing, jumping, with such
games as black man, leap frog,
humble -the-peg, ball, must suffice.
When the spring sunshine starts
the sap in the boys legs, their
emery may we'll be directed into
some of these channels. Home
made apparatus will answer the
purpose of furthering physical ex-
ercise and may excite more gen
uine interest. A pair of standards
will make possible training in the
high kick and the high jump run
ming or standing. Six or eight
hurdles can be made by the boys
and afford excellent fun and ex-
ercise in the hurdle race. A light
strong pole ten or twelve feet
long will strengthen the muscles
of the arm and the back in pole
vaulting. A trapeze is more danger.
GUS for the smaller boys are likely
to fall from it and break a bone.
Indian clubs give grace and
strength to the shoulders, arms
and chest. They improve the car
riage Of the head.
In the fall, "Rugby" football
with even an old rag for ball has
afforded days of delight for the
smaller boys. The game is not SO
rough as it appears and in most
cases is really beneficial. 1t devel-
ops courage and grit as well as
physical strength.
In conclusion, the teacher should
be "knowing" to all that is going
on though he take no active part.
He should be present in person
during as much of the playtime
as possible. He should encOur-
age the players, be the conf
dental adviser of the contestants
and in every way possible put a
stop to the "cheating" so common
in physical contests.

Washington. March 2O.-Stron

Washington, March 2O.-Strong
pressure is being brought to bear
on the President by some Northern
congressman and negro bishops for
the appointment Of negroes who
have served in the volunteer regi-
ments to 'lieutenancies in the regular
army. AT present there are four
negro regiments in the regular
army, and the negro officers are a
source Of trouble even in these regi-
ments. The President and the off,
cials Of the War Department are
greatly embarrassed over this situa-
tion.
