a spot from which a considerable

Cannot Be Partitioned.

Last Monday the State Supreme
Court rendered the following decision
in a branch OF the Pleasant Green
Baptist church litigation, on appeal
from the District Court OF this
Parish:
ssNelson Leblanc ct al. VS.. Albert
Lemaire ct als.-This case presents
the question whether church proper
ty. part of which is a church site,
with buildings, another part a burial
ground, owned as per deed Of record
by the pheasant Green Baptist
church, an unincorporated religious
society, is subject to partition at
the instance of a minority of the con-
gregation, among those who, at this
time, claim membership in the church.
Held: A minority of the congrega-
ton, under the case IS presented,
have no right to break up the church
by forcing the sale Of its property
for purpose of partition on the plea
of being owners in indiyision. While
they may have certain property rights
in the church holdings, they are not
considered such owners in indivision
as give them a standing in court to
provoke, against the will of the
majority, a partition Of that which,
by common understanding, was to
remain intact for the purpose of
religious worship. Judgment ffIirm-
ed. Mr.. Justice Monroe dissents.'

Damage Suit for $4,000.

Adke CuaFfeb IEcSS.
L. Cotton, of Jennings, through
his lawyers, Mccoy & Moss, has
brought suit against the Jennings
Irrigation Company, for failure to
comply with the terms of this con-
tract. The damages claimed by Mr..
Cotton are twentv-four hundred dol
lars. The irrigation company con-
tracted to furnish water for the year
1900 to develop Mr.. Cotton's rice
crop. This it failed to do and as a
consequence the crop fell short sew
eral sacks per acre. Mr.. Cotton har-
vested about three sacks per acre,
while if the rice had been sufficiently
watered, he claims he should have
had from eight to ten sacks per acre.
Mr.. Cotton has fulfilled and COM
piled with all the technicalitles Of the
law in this case, and he will go into
court with a much stronger a than
the eases of a like nature which have
previously been in court here.

 Will Prove Richer Than The Creeks.
 Experts Surprised At Our Tail
 ure To Work Them.
 The prospector has heretofore given his entire time and attention to the creeks proper, and in most cases over looked the benches entirely. The bench d;ggings in Dawson have proven vastly richer than creeks and, i'll fact, at the present day, the greater part of the Klor- dike output is the product of the benches. Wherever the benches have been pros pected good colors have been discovered, and on every creek at that.
 The past winter has seen over $2o ,ooo expended i'll thoroughly prospecting Ida ho bar, and another winter will no doubt see large plant i'll operation at that point. This is the only case where the benches have received more than super fcial prospecting. Clint Dumirc. on P Big Minook, after spending several years prospecting the creek bottom taking out nuggets, but finding no regular pay, de- cided to put shaft down 400 feet from the creek. The result is, he has located a pavstreak of unknown extent, which has banned as high as f1 to the pan. A large number of Dawson miners passed through the camp last winter and sun- ncr bound for Nome, and th expressed the greatest surprise at the complete lack of attention to the benches. few stay ed here, not wishing to trust to the un- certainties of the Nome district, which was overcrowded with prospcctors, ard to pass district entirely ospected and containing less than 500 miners.
 The greater part, however, allured by the golden promises held out at Nome continued on, and the fact that last fall did not see large number of men re- turning to Rampant was due to the fact that most of the miners who passed though last winter had spent years in the country, and the extreme low stean- CT rates to the outside appeale1 irresist- 1blv to tbein. There Is no doubt that a large number of these men, all of whom we're most favorably impressed by the possibilities of this district, will return this summer, invigorated by their vaca. tion in the States, and, from the results of the past winters prospecting, can be assured of the fact that there are plenty

titoxin in full strength and quality to
every case visited that warrants sus.
picion of diphtheria. In the presence
of suspicious symptoms no time is lost
even to secure bacterial diagnosis
before making the injection. OF
hardly less Importance is held the
early bacterial diagnosis in every case
of sore throat visited. Frequently
where the clinical symptoms do not
yet point to diphtheria the microscope
will reveal the presence OF bacillus,
whereupon an injection of antitoxin is
at once administered. This practice
of the department will account for the
relatively large proportion of cases re.
corded as treated on the first or Sec

prompt administration of full doses
accounts equally well for the low death
rate among cases thus early treated"
