International Conference Soon
to Meet In Mexico.
WHAT MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED.

United States Delegates Receive In
structioAs From the State Depart-
ment at Washington and Prepare
to Leave For the Capital Of the
Mexican Republic.
The delegates on the part Of the
United States to the approaching con-
gress Of American republics have been
in conference with Acting Secretary
Hill of the department Of state, says
the Washington Post. Arrangements
were completed for the departure Of
the delegation on Oct. ~ next for the
City of Mexico. 1t Is net thought poll
tic to make their instructions public in
advance of the meeting of the con-
gress. although they have been COM
pleted practically by Acting Secretary
Hill. ..t5 aD,., ts 80.
The United States delegation is COM
posed of the following: Henry g. Da-
Wis Of West Virginia, W. l. Buchanan
of Iowa. Charles M. Pepper, formerly
of Chicago, but now resident OF
Washington; John Barrett Of Oregon
Auu Olllcy w. ~ otCA VI Oa'SUSo'
Jose I. Rodriguez is secretary.
One of the most enthusiastic MEM
bers of the delegation Is Volney W.
Foster. He looks forward to the con-
ference with great expectations, for
through It's work he believes the com.
mercial world will be greatly bene-
flied. The pan-American conference Is
commonly known as the Blaine idea."
as 1t was the statesman from Maine
who first advocated the plan for the
first meeting of representatives of the
American states while he was secre-
tary of state under the Garfield ad-
ministration. The change Of admins
tration, however. interfered with tho
conference.
Mr.. Foster and other delegates say
that 1t would be hard to tell Of all the
things that will be considered by the
conference, as no formal programme
has been prepared, but several things
have been mentioned as certain to be
taken up and considered, and others
will doubtless grow out of the discus
sion. Among the subjects to be consid-
cred are the following:
Closer relations between the Central
and South American states and the
United States.
Promotion Of reciprocal relations.
Establishment Of uniform profess
sional standard, SO that physician or
other professional man can practice his
profession without securing diploma
/, in his adopted country.
Establishing a uniform system for
reporting the presence and the devel-
opment OF contagious and infectious
diseases in this country, giving warn
ings to those who are travelling Of dan
ger at infected points.
Formulation of uniform custom regu.
lations in all the American govern
ments.
Multiplication Of international and
transcontinental railway and telegraph
lines between American countries.
| Establishment Of permanent inter
national court and the promotion Of q
} plan of arbitration.
| Perfection of the uniform system OF
extradition adopted by many Of the re-
publics on the recommendation Of the
I last conference and it's extension to 9th

PROSPECTUS.

In rendering this, our prospec-
tus, we wish to avoid fowery,
deceptive language, and to set
forth in detail a few simple, plain
facts, briefly stating what we
have done, where we have opera
ted and what we propose to do.
The Prairie Mamou Oil & Min
eral Co. Ltd, domiciled at Jen-
nings, Calcasieu parish, La. is a
duly organized and chartered
company, capitalized at 100000.
Captain D. e. Sweet, president
of the Jennings Banking G Trust
Co., a man of unquestionable in
tegrity and pronounced bust
ness success, is president of this
company.
From the organization of this
Company it has been the purpose
to select small plots of really oil
lands throughout the oil belt Of
Calcasieu parish, ignoring in a
measure large bodies Of indiffer-
ent lands without promise, upon
which leases could be procured
at nominal figures. Following
up this idea they have purchased,
First.-Twenty acres near the
blackberry well that is full of
promise, the we'll being down
near 1000 feet, with every indi-
cation of success. The stock of
this well is now at par value.
A peculiar feature character
ling this well, which lies thirteen
miles southeast of Sulphur Mines
is, that before the day when sui
phnr was extracted by heat q
spring at blackberry flowed very
cold water, which today is almost
as hot as hot coffee. We also
purchased five acres near the
Vinton wells which have struck
several stratas of oil, published
to the world.

Second.-F'inding unparalleled
gas and oil indications ON Bayou
Blue, about fifteen miles north
Of Jennings, we purchased Bayou
Blue Springs, covering a hill of
about five arcres on Bayou Blue.
We also have forty acres three
miles north of the Jennings Oil
Well, where gas and Oil abound
and upon which it was at first
intended to sink IL we'll. But the
climax was struck when after
much labor and time had been
spent, ANSSE A. LA BUT TIE, the
SPINDLE TOP of MamouPrairie
was secured, and this is a real
Spindle Topin every sense. This
six acres lies within mile of
Bayou Cane, tributary Of Mer-
mentau river and just north Of
Merm entap station where the
Southern Pacific rail way crosses
the Mermenta river, giving
easy and cheap access to an out
let to market.
This is where the Prairie
Mamou Oil 6 Mineral Co., Ltd
will within the next 80 days be-
gin to sink a we'll with the prom
Use in advance Of d gusher. It is
about one-fourth Of a mile south
east of the noted gushing we'll of
the Jennings Oil Co.
We intend to bore our second
well on Bayou Blue. We have
leases upon several hundred
acres of lands on which we would
bore in event others see fit to
develop any adjacent thereto and
meet success.
The Company will offer $4,000
shares for sale at so cents per
share for short time. Par val
ue of shares one dollar each. We
would much prefer to sell these
shares to home people.

THANKSGIVING.

Now, you should not forget it,
and probably every body will
keep it in mind that next Thurs
day is Thanksgiving day. The
president has told US SO in a
proclamation to that effect and
asked US tOobserve it becomingly;
So has Governor Heard as well
as the other governors of the
different states. Well it has al
ways been puzzle to US to un-
derstand the necessity Of the
proclamation business. Probub-
ly ii is on account of the "time-
honored practice, ''as is generally
quoted. We think that the peo-
pie have been so long accustomed
to il that they know full well when
it is to come around-always on
the last Thursday in November,
when punkins and turkeys are
ripe. There is very little dou BIT
but everybody will feel thann-
full on that day who gets a slice
OF turkey and of d quarter sec
ton of mince or pumlsin pie.

speaker at a meeting of Denver
banking employers at the Brown
Palace hotel to institute branch
of the American Institution of
Bank Clerks. Mr.. Gage declared
that the demand for good bank

able I could take twenty young
men out of your midst and place
you in positions in various parts
of the country which would pay
you S25, 600 per year.
Fifty years from now the

One of the most damaging wrecks
of the year occurred yesterday
afternoon on the Pennsylvania,
at the western limits of the city.
A truck on q freight train broke
down, throwing several cars off
the track at the same moment
that another freight came by at
high speed. The accident &C.
Cured on a bridge over the st.
Mary's and the derailed cars, five
in number, were thrown over
the bulwark into the river. They
we're all loaded with valuable

loss will be very heavy. No one
was injured, but several of the
crew had miraculous escapes.

AN UNAPPREcIkTED INSECT.

It is pity that such interesting
and useful creatures as spiders
should be so universally disliked,
writes n. Hudson Moore in The
Chautauquan. The chief prejudice
against them arises from the poi
sonous nature of their sting or bite,
but if one can put all this mass of
testimony out of mind and believe
that a spiders bite is no more
harmful than a needles prick one
can endure their proximity and
study their habits at leisure.
Who that kills a spider is pre-
pared to do its work to mankind?
Under the head of benefcent insects
should be written large the name
arachnida. Their mission is to
keep down the hordes of insects
whose increase would threaten the
life of mankind. Some scientist
has advanced the theory that if
dragon flies were raised in sufficient
numbers they would keep down the
hordes of mosquitoes that ravage
our coasts, as well as our inland
retreats, but Mr.. Henry McCook,
our most famous arachnologist,
thinks that if spiders were protected
and suffered to increase the mos
quito plague would be lessened.
Many people are prejudiced enough
to consider the remedy worse than
the disease.

Belt railroad adjoining Brook
side park. The plans for the
buildings have been prepared by

make them, will be absolutely
fireproof. The barn will accom-

BRITAIN FEARFUL CT
LOSING CAPE COLONY
Proclamation of Martial Law in the
Disturbed District Stirs Up
the ENGLISH People.

the 6nQIlSfl f60Dl6.
LONDON, Oct. 11.-Cape Town
under martial law is the allah
sorbing topic here. Spokesman
for the government say the proc
lamation means merely that Lord
Kitchener intends to stop the i'm
portation of arms and ammuni-
ton destined for the Beers. The
less excitable liberals regard the
expedient as fraught with gravity
but not necessarily indicating the
existence of conditions warrant
ing great alarm. The extremely
radical opponents of the war,
however, pronounce the develop
ment as thoroughly sensational
and disheartening. They declare
that the one further step in that
direction is the loss of South
Africa.
All parties and classes concede
that the necessity for such a
course is oeplorable, but the war
element heartily indorses it,
favoring any policy whatever
that commends itself to the mill
tary authorities on the spot. The
South Africa Cancellation com
mittee stands midway between
the war party and the advanced
prO-Boer element.
Secretary Swiuny of that com
mlttee said yesterday:
Declaration of martial law in
the ports of Cape Colony has a
double object: First, to dam the
channels of uncensored commu-
nication between South Africa
and the rest of the world, espec-
tally Europe, and, second, to
crafty the clamorous demand in
Great Britain for the adoption of
more drastic measures.
1.-The authorities henceforth
will suppress all information of
Boer activity except when
actions take place which demand
chronicling. This will prevent
the Beers from hearing of the
dissatisfaction of the people with
the Salisbury government I'm.
portations into South Africa of
antiwar literature will be stopped.
eve do not think that either
Lord Kitchener or Sir j. Gordon
Sprlgg, premier of Cape Colony,
fears a wholesale rebellion at the
Cape. They know that all avail
able arms are ready in the hands
of rebellious Dutchmen, and it
would be folly for men to rise
without arms. However, now
that martial law has been
brought home to the English
colonists we are putting severe
strain on the patriotism of our
own loyalists. The whole situa-
ton is of the most complicated
description and no man can fore
tell the issue"
The wholly unsatisfactory sit
uation in South Africa continues
to call out the most severe criti-
cism. Lord Kitchener wires that
Gen. Botha has crossed the
Pivaau river twenty miles north
of Vryheid, which means that he
has again escaped the British
Gordon.
Gen. Butler in a speech this
afternoon complained of the gen
eral criticism, especially lin the
newspapers. of himself. He add
mitted he had advised Gen.
White that it would possibly be
necessary to surrender Lady
smith, but, bearing in mind all
the circumstances of the case, he
was quite prepared to let the
public judge of the justice of the
newspaper attacks.
