Captain A. A. LESUEUR.
ne Visited Friends In Lexington
this Week.
HAS QUIT NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.
Something Of His New Home II the
Indian Territory.
Has QUIT NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.

Capt. A. A. Lesueur, who served for
so many years and with such popular
distinction as Mlsseuri's secretary of
state, and who at one time edited the
lNTELLGENCER was visitor at the
editorial rooms of this paper Monday
and was Of course warmly welcomed.
In discussing his future the captain
stated that he had made up his mind
to quit the newspaper business and to
give his attention to making money
and starting his boys in successful bus-
lness careers. ''Since leaving the
rimes," said he, 81 have been offered
the management of five different news
papers, but thought it best to enter
the financial field" One of the cap-
tain's boys, young Alex, has formed a
co-partnership with one OF the leading
lawyers at Antlers, l. T., the future
home OF The Lesueur family, and
|
another, Trigg Lesueur, will manage
the ice plant which his father will
establish at that place.
The Antlers Bank and Trust com.
pany, OF which Capt. Lesueur has been
made president, will not begin Its
business career until the first of Octo-
Der. 1t was found necessary to erect
banking house, which work is now
progressing. 1t is brick building and
bids fair to become the home OF one of
the leading financial concerns Of the
indian country. Capt. Lesueor also
contemplates engaging In the cattle
business. "The best of lands, similar
to those Of Lafayette county, surround
Antlers," said the captain, ''and can
be secured cheaply for grazing pur-
poses, This prompted me In deciding
to enter the cattle business. {"
Capt. Lesueur is most favorably i'm
pressed with his new home. He saws
that there are promising asphalt mines
near Antlers and that prospecters for
gold In the mountains thirty miles dis
tant are very much encouraged over
favorable conditions so far found in
| THAR invoatirat;ono
"Of course the laws are different IN
the Indian country from those in the
territory that has already been opened
up" said Capt. Lesueul, "and In
securing grazing lands the Indian il, an
important factor to consider, but as a
new settler l would not have this
otherwise If could. History teaches
that all this Indian land will be opened
to settlement sooner or later and when
that opening comes l will be on the
ground with my family to reap the
harvest that will naturally be denied to
the stranger-or rather more difficult
for him on account of his lack of
acquaintance with local conditions"
Capt. Lesueur will visit Antlers this
week, but will return again to Kansas
City before permanently taking his
family to their new home.
1t is useless to say that the very best
wishes of every good citizen in Lafay-
ette county go with Capt. Lesueur and
his estimable family in their change of
place of residence.

Cures Made EVERYWHERE.
Every Form of piles Yield to II.

Every Form OF Piles Yield to 1t.
In spite of the fact that the Pyramid
Pile Cure is so we'll known as a certain
cure for every form of piles, there are
still many people who think surgical
operation the only sure cure.
Hundreds of thorough trials in the
hands OF physicians and patients have
proven beyond a doubt, however, that
surgical operations for piles are unnec-
cessary, cruel, many times dangerous to
life, and a relic of barbarlsm. The Pyr-
amid Pile Cure will cure any form of
piles effectually and without a particle
of pain or Inconvenience, at slight ex-
pense and no danger whatever as IL IL
perfectly harmless. The way it effects
patients who use 1t may be inferred from
the following from Mr. Il. Crook Of Wat
erloo, Ia: Gentlemen--I have used the
Pyramid Pile Cure and it is out of sight
the best thing 1 ever tried. l think it
has entirely cured me. 1 have told Mr
Knapp, our druggist here about it and

great thing for piles.

IN MEMORY OF "sALAD DAYS"
battery Presented n silver Service
TO Mai. Screven.


Mai Thomas Screven was presented
last night with handsome silver salad
set of fourteen pieces. The occasion was
the recent retirement of Mai. Screven
from the command of the Savannah Vol
unteer Guards Battalion and his mar
rage; the donor was Battery B of the
Guards. which he commanded for a num-
Der of years.
The presentation took place in Battery
BIS room at the arsenal. after the meet
ing and drill Maj. Screven was escorted
from the De Soto to the company room by
a committee and was met by the MEM
bers of his old command, drawn up TO re-
ceive him.
The presentation, on the part of the
battery, was made by Sergt Edward {.
Ryals. Sergt. Ryals alluded to the con-
nection of Maj. Screven's family with the
Guards his father and grandfather, as
well as Mai Screven himself, having been
commanding officers of the battalion.
Some pleasant references were made to
Mai. Screven's long term of service as
captain Of Battery b and the memories
that servloe furnished both Maj. S,reven
and the members of the battery. Sergt.
Ryals concluded by presenting the SER
vice, on behalf of his fellows, lin mem :
DRY of our salad days. when YOU AMI
we were young together"
On a card accompanying the gift IS
the following inscription: ITO Maj.
Thomas Screven. from Battery B, Savan-
nah Volunteer Guards: His comrades.

who have shared with him the pleasures
and some of the hardships of soldiers
life. wish him, in that gentler service In
which he has enlisted, the share of hap
piness thai ought to follow duty well per-
form&."
MScreven responded feelngly to this
evidence of the kindly feeling that existed
between him and his old comrades. He
ssid that the battalion. and the battery in
particular, had always been very close to
his heart, and that he wished the mem
bers to think that in the future they could
count upon him for any assistance he was
able to render.
These formalities concluded, the men,
bers of the battery and some of the off,
GERS and veteran honorary members of the
battalion partook of Mai. Screven's hospi-
tality. In Artillery Punch the health OF

FAULTS OF CHILDREN.
How to Correct Them Discussed by
Miss BncIxus.

At the fifth lesson in Child Study" at
the Philbrick kindergarten yesterday,
Miss Backus began with the contents of
the question box, taking one by one the
slips, answering first the question, What
do you consider your child's worst fault
and by what method are you overcoming
it?"
AS no one knew whose child was be-
ing discussed, everyone felt free to COM
ment, and an interesting discussion took
place. Some of the mothers seemed a
little astonished to find that the much
talked of kindergarten discipline was
only the most common sense way of
dealing with a particular fault.
The kindergarten method of arranging
things to "let the deed recoil upon the
doer" was found to be a system of very
practical punishment fitted to the espe-
cial fault, and likely to make a lasting
impression, and it was recalled with
much satisfaction to a visitor to last
years class.
A mother who has brought up a large
family In a most successful way gave
instance after instance of her own meth
eds of discipline, which, at the time. were
considered unique. but which were only
the practical outcome of Froebers phi
losopy. Of which, at the time, she had
never heard. One of these stories is SO
good that 1t must be told: Among the
children was one who would tell tales,
thing that his mother abhorred. After
trying different things, one day she said
TO him, My son, he who bears a tale must
wear a tail" and she forthwith pinned
to the back of his coat her umbrella cover
stuffed with cotton He went off and hid
in the garrett and when called down, the
tail had disappeared. MY son, did you
dare to take that OFF," his mother de-
manded. mo, maam, but you didn't
say it must show" he sobbed, and hold
ing up his jacket. disclosed the tail care
tuhy tucked up his back. II was taken
off, but the disgrace of tale bearing had
sunk in. and the lesson never had TO be
repeated.
