Who Will Build It?

Last week the Advertiser called
attention to the fact that rent
houses were very scarce and in
great demand. This week we
want to call attention to another
fact, and that is that Lafayette
needs more boarding houses
There are numbers Of people who
come here, who desire to board
either from preference or from
the temporary nature Of their stay,
but find it difficult and otter i'm
possible to secure accommodation.
A large first-class clearinghouse
designed specially for this class
Of people would, no doubt, prove
a very satisfactory investment.

Mam0u Wells Puts Forth Precious
Products.

Jennings, La, Aug. 27.-There
was a little excitement in the
office of the Jenning Oil Company
last night and this morning, due
to the TACT that another flow of oil
was struck about 6 O'Clock last
night at the Mamou we'll The
we'll had reached depth Of 1913
feet and was entering a strata oi
shale, when it was noticed that
oil was coming in quite noticeable
quantities. The flow increased
and drilling operations were sus-
pended for the night, but were
continued this morning. The
strata of shale was penetrated and
small stratum of genuine oil
sand was found. AS the drill
sank through the stratum, the gas
and oil spouted out Of the top Of
the pipe and the spectators began
to show additional signs Of gen.
nuine oil fever. This oil-bearing
sand was found about noon Driller
Dobbins continued sending the
four-ipch pipe down at the last
report, an the officers of the COM
pany are on the ground anxiously
awaiting the result. The Hey
woods have been notified OF the
strike, and they will arrive on the
early train tomorrow
The indications for a first-class
we'll were never better at Beau
mont, and many well-informed men
will be greatly disappointed if a
gusher is not discovered. Late
this evening it was reported that
the flow was very great, and. that
active preparations were being
made to take off the flow. The oi
is OF a much finer quality than the
Beaumont oil.

effort to get this pipe out two
men were killed by the escaping
gas and a number of others over
come.
The two men who are dead as
result Of their bravery are James
Smith and John McDaniels.
Smith died trying to shut off
the gusher and MeDaniels died
trying to save Smith Both showed
great heroism.
The scene OF the wild gusher is
on block No. 3S. on Spindle Top
Heights, subdivision Of the John
A. Veatch league, which has come
to be known as the Hogg-Swayne
syndicate tract, and where are
gathered together perhaps more
oil wells than in any other one
place in the world OF the same
| size. The we'll belongs to the
Palestire-Beaumont Oil Company.
The well was supposed to be about
ready to come in, but was no.
expected before to-day at the
earliest. 1t came in shortly before
noon yesterday.

CHAPTER Xxx

Walter Fosters mother learned by
cable that the remains she awaited,
and that reached port almost the day
she got the dispatch, were not those
of her only son, but of one who. had
practically died for him. And even in
the Joy of that supreme moment the
woman in her turned, after all, in pity
to weep for the motherless lad who
had been her boys warmest friend in
his hours of doubt ind darkness and
despair.
A weak vessel was "Wally," as Far
quhar had intimated, and so easily
cowed and daunted that in the dread
of the punishment accorded the de-
serter he had skulked in disguise at
Hong-Kong, leaving all the burden OF
scouting, pleading and planning for
him to Willard, his old-tiIIe chum, who
had even less knowledge and expert
ence of army official life tran himself.
Wizards early letters to Hong-Kong
gave Foster little hope. for at first
the only people the recruit could
"sound" were private soldiers like
himself. Then Foster read of the ar
rival of the Sacramento at Manila, of
the presence there of Maidic Ray, and
then he wrote urging his quOndam
chum to endeavor to sec her, to tell
her of his desperate straits, to i'm
plore her to exert influence to get him
pardoned, and, in order that she might
know that his envoy was duly accred-
tied, he sent Willard his chief treas
ure, that little cartc-de-visite, tOgeth-
er with a few imploring lines.
Then not a word came from Willard
for three mortal weeks, but Fosters
daily visits to the bank were at last
rewarded by a dispatch from home
bidding him return at once by first
steamer, sending him abundant means
and assuring him all would be well.
And when the news of his own MUIR
der was published in the Hong-Kong
papers, without the faintest intima
ton to the officials of the bank as to
his intentions, he was hOmeward
bound and never heard word If it
all until recognized by an officer
aboard the Queen rs the Coptic float
ed into Honolulu harbor There he
was arrested and turned eek.
Among "Billy Benton's' few effects
no letters, no such pictbEe, had been
found, nothing, in fact, to connect
him with Foster. Col. Brent knew
what had become of the carte-de-vis-
tie, but how happened it in other
hands than those of Benton? That,
too, was not long to be mystery.
One day in late December forlorn-
looking fellow begged drink of the

IN A BAD WAY.
Mr.. Hamburg BewaiIs the Misfortunes
of the British Farmer.

London; Dec. 11.-Robert William
Hamburg, president of the board of
agriculture, bewailed the misfortunes
of the British farmer in speech be-
fore the Farmers club in London He
contrasted the position of the British
farmer with that the farmer in the
UNITED States, where, he said, the gov
eminent assisted agricultural inter-
ests, realizing that the greatness of
the nation depended upon the material
prosperity of the country. Mr. Han
bury said he considered that the az
Tculture of Great Britain had been
deliberately sacrificed, so years ago,
to the building up of the manufacture
ing industries of the country and that
the anticipated result, namely, that
Great Britain would manufactur for
the whole world, had not been realized.
Instead of this, the speaker said, the
world was closing its markets against
Great Britain and the government in
the future would have to take a much
greater interest in these matters.
Rt. Hon. Henry Chaplin, president
OF the local government board, who
addressed the board before Mr.. Han
bury, advocated restoring the duty of
one shilling on grain.
