more remains to be done after this
week.
The first car load of machinery
arrived on last Sunday. 1t consists
Of three pumps. One Of
these pumps, No. 1913
Worthington, duplex, is to be used
as a boiler feeder. The other two
are Worthingtcn, duplex, compound
pumps, duplicates. These are for
the waterworks proper. They all
three are exceedingly PLAIN, devoid
Of any effort at ornamentation or
high finish.
The foundations are being built
in the power house for the electric
light engines.
The foundations tor the big
pumps IN the pump PIT have been
o,hpleted.
The foundations for the boilers
have been built up to the surface of
the ground and res.ed there till the
arrival of the boilers.
The cracked walls In the reservoir
well have been repaired. This
week the seepage water IN the we'll
was pumped out. There was found
an accumulation of soft batter of
mud at the bottom which had to be
taken up in buckets aud hoistec

reservoir through the broken pipe in

General F. F. Myles says tha
the financial arrangements for the

and that he will Degin work as
soon as the Police Jury Of this

This is very encouraging news and
we hope there will be no Interrupt

Franklin will get the power house
of course. Work will be operated
from both ends of the road at tht

Some Pointers About the
Organization.

The Iberia Building Association
-. orcapjzed in this place, a new
thing in this State, In March, 1887
|, ..s started In the face of much
adverse criticism on the part of
m,py Of our people who declared
,he;r inability to understand how a
mutual organization could equ'tably
make money for Its stockholders
consequently 1t must fail before it
would l,quidate its first series.
Many of these doubtful ones have
hyed to be disappointed in the
erempli6cation Of the success OF
one Of the n ost solvent institutions
in the parish to-day.
On last Tuesday evening the
annual meeting of the stockholders
m held at the Associations office.
which was largely attended. Be
.id.s the presentation off the
secretary's annual report, o9e of
the faest in the history f the
institutlon, a number of lmHprtant
amendments to the chartert were
submitted ard adopted. Apong
these amendments adopted We're,
ns increasing the capital stock
from $l.oOO,000 to 80, 800, ,000'
Another increases the borrowing
limit from a loan on twenty-five
shares to . loan on fifty shares, or
70 gross loan Of $4,000 to the
individual stakeholder. Another
authorizes the Board 10 lend stock
holders money on their notes,
secured by their pass books, in
amounts equal to the withdrawal
valae Of the said pass books.
The stockholders reelected the
entire old Board of Directors to
ierve the Association through the
yssr 1901.
The Secretary's annual report
showed another unprecedented year
Of success IN the business of the
A<ocist,on. The profits for 1900
ifs represented in the beautiful SET
Of figures Of $34,l75.74, while the
ezpense account foots up only
sl,e3l.45, leaving a net profit
Of S32, ,s44.29 to be dlyided W
anong the stockholders. This net
profit exceeds that of the New
Iberia National Bank and the
People's National Bank combined
fof the same period. This profit
shen divided and credited upon tht
lpdhidual pass books is also very
p'sttY. One year old stock, OF
which $ls was pald in IN install
meats, receives a dividend o1
NS0, making the stock worth
si7.6s. THIS IS splendid showing
aad greater than that of last year OF
oae year old stock.

Pleasant and Pleasant.

With the beginning of the new
year a change is made in the well
known law firm OF Pleasant & Pleas
ant. By the new arrangement the
three brothers will conduct two Of
fees under the firm name, ons In
Ottawa and one in Lyndon. w.
B. and Walter will be located in OF
tawa, while j. NJ. will remain in
Lyndon in charge of the office here.
The firm is next to the oldest in
Lyndon. Sixteen years ago j. NJ
and w. b. Pleasant, then mere be-
ginners in the practice of law, came
out from Jasper, Ind, and located
here. Their practice since that
time has made them one Of the best
known law firms in this part of the
state. About twelve years ago their
younger brother, Walter, took up
the study in the Lyndon Office, lat u
going to the state university where
he graduated in 1898. Two years
after his graduation he located in
Ottawa, where he has become well
known in mis- profession and in the
politics Of Franklin county. The
only thing Lyndon people do not
like in the new arrangement is the
fact that it requires Mr.. and Mrs.
w. b. Pleasant removal from our
city. We extend our best wishes to
them in their new home. -Ly ldon
Current Remark.
The many old friends Of the
Pleasant Brothers in Dubois county,
will be glad to hear of their prosper
ity. They we're able and upright

GOV. MOUNT DEAD.

Ex-Gov. James A. Mount was
sitting BY his freside Wednesday
night reading newspaper. His
wife was also in the room; about .
O'Clock he turned to his wife and re-
marked that he felt very sick, he
laid back in his chair and in five
minutes was corpse.
Gov. Mount was one OF the noted
class of sturdy and strenuous far
mers OF Indiana, who was honest
and outspoken for the right, as he
saw it, from whom much was ex-
pected in the future. Like James
ID. Williams and Claude Matthews,
the former predecessors Of him in
the Governors chair, political duties
and confinement seemed to under
mine their ply systems, used to
the free air of the farm.
Whatever his mistakes were, all
parties will concede his upright
ness Of character, and the death of
such men is great loss to the State,
and the agricultural industry Of
which he was a noted representa-
tive. His death leaves no ex-Gov-
ernor OF Indiana surviving. Gov.
Durbin is the only one of the strictly
business class ever chosen as chief
executive of the Hoosier State, and
il is yet to be seen how lie will stand
the constant wear and care OF the
position.
James Atwell Mount was a native
of this state, having been born in
Montgomery county, March %,
1913. His father Atwell Mount,
was a native Of Virginia and moved
to Indiana in 1928.
Governor Mount intended to re-
turn to his farm at Shannondale, on
Friday, and he was hopeful and JOY
Gus over the prospect OF getting back
to rural life, which he enjoyed very
much. He appeared to be in good
health and was in fine spirits.
Frequently, however, he has com
mented on the fact that ex-gover-
nors of Indiana do not live long al
ter they surrendered office, and at
one time after he had attended the
funeral of Governor Matthews, he
seemed deeply impressed with this
fact.

pA-Speaker Artman has given
DR.. Coble place on the following
committees Of the Indiana House !:
ON the Indiana State Prison !;
Sinking Fund; Federal Relations
Reformatory Institutions; Mines

The DR.. oughtto have had place
on the committees on township bus
mess and on public health, as his
experience in those lines eminently
fit him Tor judicious understanding
OF these affairs. But to be on FIVE
committees is pretty well for a new
legislator.

The Home Doctor.

Salt as a gargle will relieve sore
ness OF the throat.
Never battle a child directly after
it has been fed, for the doctors say
there is great danger Of its going in
to commissions if it is put into water
when the stomach is full and the
food undigested.
Hot water quenches thirst in most
instances better than cold. Taken
regularly at the rate of one glassful
half an hour before meals it pro-
notes digestion, and in catarrhal
conditions OF the stomach is recon-
mended by physicians. 1t has also
been tried as a remedy for insomnia.
Headache almost always yields to
the simultaneous application Of hot
water to the feet aud back OF the
neck.
A simple remedy for a cold is to
beat yolk Of an egg in one pint Of
water, add little butter, three
Jumps Of sugar, and a tablespoonful
Of whisky. When it begins to boil
pour it backwards and forwards
from one saucepan to another until
smooth and frothy. When cool
take a teaspoonful every half hour.
To stop bleeding, try handful
Of flour bound on the cut.
