A DEFEAT FOR MRS. NATION
PRETENTED FROM WRECKTNG 4
 "JOINT'' IN TOPEKA.

| Accompanied by SIX Other Women She Starts Out to Demolish q Restaurant
 Follows and Mrs. Nation Is Finally Arrested.
 Topeka, Kansas, Feb. 4-Mrs. Nation
 this afternoon met the first defeat i'll
 her saloon smashing career. Later at
 the police station she laughingly de-
 clared that it was by no means her Wa
 terloo and she would soon again be at
 her chosen work.
 With six women, each armed with new
 hatchets, she had started out at three o'clock to wreck a restaurant where H. quor is also dispensed. There free for-all struggle between restaurant peo- pie and wreckers was begun, and the greatest excitement prevailed for time. Mrs. Nation was dsarmed, but shouted orders to her followers to re- open the onslaught. The hatchet brlg- ade was stampeded, however, and not another hand was raised against the obnoxious restaurant. Mrs. Nation was led away to the station on charge or disturbing the peace and was followed by a jeering crowd.
 At meeting of the hatchet brigade in the United Presbyterian church this afternoon Mrs. Nation announced that a raid would be made on drug store and joint at o'clock tomorrow morn ing. Then came the conference and the determination to wreck a joint imme- diatey. Surrounded by half dozen women, all armed with hatchets, Mrs. Nation led the way down Kansas ave nue. She was followed by thousands of people who tramped behind and before her in the deep snow, shouting like mob when the unique restaurant was reached. A fierce fight followed be- tween the restaurant men and Mrs. Na- tion's defenders. Many personal en- counters took place, but the police seemed without power to stop it. Final ly in despair they arrested Mrs Nation and took her to jail The crowd fol- lowed her and the restaurant was left Mrs. Nation was not in- jured
 At the police station Mrs. Nation was formally charged with disturbing the peace and her name was entered on the docket She was informed that she would have to report for trial at the police court tomorrow morning, ana was then released on her own recogni- zance She then held reception in front of the police station. She made a scathing attack on the police in a speech.

THE CITY MOURNED.

No more widespread or more
feeling testimonial of grief over
the death of our murdered president
could have possibly been express
ed, than, was shown by the entire
population of the City Thursday.
IT was a testimonial not only in
memory of a great American but
also a proof that sectionalism has
since become lost sight of and that
to tie people of the Attakapas the
murder of the president was as
heavy a blow as if he had been
one of her own sons.
On that day they joined IN grief
and in prayer with the citizens of
Maine, of Oregon, and of Florida
with one common feeling Of sorrow
over the sad ending of him, who in
life had been the purest type OF
the ideal American, who knew nc
Idlstinction between the North or
the South, the rich or the poor.
Who's hand was always ready tt
grasp that Of the poorest and
most lowly of his fellow citizens
and to this simple trustful belief
lin the friendship and loyalty o
the people. is due the cause of hi
death.
| The true exponent Of true de
mocratic government, by the PEG
and for the people. So the loya
citizens of New Iberia mourne'

Why Do We import Sugar.

Sugar is one of the few great
commodities of which the United
States is weak and dependent. In
almost all the great necessaries of
life - food, clothing, fuel and shcl,
ter-the country is more than self
supporting, but in the matter of
sugar we are largely dependent on
foreign countries. And our sugar
bill is the largest by far of any of
our foreign accounts-twice that
of coffee, which stands next in
prominence, and much greater
than that for india rubber, tea
silk or hemp. Every year we pay
about 800, 000,OOo, or about $l.3J
for every man, woman and child in
the country. to foreign countries
for sugar. Indeed, out of more
than 9, 1000, 900 tons of sugar which
the United States consumes annu-
ally, we produced paltry 27O, COO
tons, mostly from the cane fields of
Louisiana. This does not include
the production of the new island
possessions, Porto Rico, Hawaii
and the Philippines, but these
would add only 100000 tons to
our production, still leaving us
to obtain much more than half of
our sugar from the foreigner. And
all this in the face of the fact that
so good an authority as Secretary
Wilson of the Department of Agri
culture says:
1--WE have no more need to i'm.
port sugar than to import wheat
The Marine Journal.
The above facts, rather astonisl
us, but if correct, they will be
highly satisfactory to every sugar
producer in Louisiana. The Phil
ippines, it is true produce only
very small percentage of sugar tt
what they eventually will produce
in the course of few years, bu
even when developed fully the i'll
crease, will not place sugar in thu
over production list. Presiden
Roosevelt, has announced that thu
policy, Of the late president woult
followed by him, as near as possible
and according to the general be
lief the policy of Mckinley regard
ing the Island of Cuba leaned
strongly to annexation. This j
the greatest menence to the suga
industry, for if Cuba becomes
part of the Union her sugar com
> ing in free Of duty, the industry i
! Louisiana at least will receiy

ended one Of the long and most
honorable career of the third ex-
ecutive of the United States to
fall the victim to the assassin's
bullet. VIM. Mckinley, when but
mere lad, held sway in log
cabin as a school teacher, until
the tragic moment, when as chief
executive of the nation, he was
felled by an assassin's bullet.
During all that time his record
suffered neither blot nor blemish
lie was tested as soldier, as q
lawyer, as a politician, as states
man, as the head of the nation
and in each case he stood the test
we'll. In private life he began by
being a manly boy, dutiful ant
Obedlent son. He continued as ;
faithful and loving husband, ont
whose example has had its goot
effect on the national character
His life was typically American
and through it all he was patriot
above personal ambition wer
ever in his mind his country an

A GUSHER THAT DIDN'T COME
In

All kinds of rumorS were circuI-
ased throughout the City last Sat
urday and Sunday that gusher
would certainly be brought in by
the Anse La Butte drillers late
Saturday evening or during Sun
day, but sad to say there was "no.
thing doing at Breaux Bridge.
The gusher failed to gush.
Saturday evening President
Burke just before his departure
Breaux Bridge, seemed in very
pleasant frame of mind but when
asked for information naively re-
fused to say a word further than
"wait and see.'
Later in the day the condition
OF affairs, at the we'll was learned
by us, which was, that, during the
early part of the week, after the
drill had penetrated through the
salt, through oil bearing sand and
into rock, such amount of gas came
up through the pipe together with
sand ahd oil, that the drillers, fear.
ing a real gusher, stopped work
and Immediately wired for the cut
off valve.
The needed piece of machinery
arrived in Lafayette and was sent
to the Well Saturday morning and
a general rush was made by officers
OF the company to the scene, but
low and behold when operations
were started and the crowd of
Embryo Millionaires standing
around with baited breath--the
drill refused to bulge, and it was
discovered that the immence gas
pressure had forced sand and rock
up three hundred feet into the
pipe. With no suitable machinery
at hand, to get rid of the sand and
rock all work was stopped, and an
apparatus wired for at Beaumont.
A heavy water pressure is being
kept up to prevent a further fill
ing up of the well.
1t is very evident that the drill
ers of the Anse La Butte have
struck something, there certainly
is an immence quantity of gas be
low the drill and if we have learn
ed anything from the Beaumont
| field where gas has always been
found just prior to the bringing in
of gusher, the news from BreauA
Bridge is very encouraging.
| Mr.. Christy the Oil Expert of
Beaumont is on the scene, and hi
asserted Saturday that the cOndi
| tons now existing in the Anse Ii
Well could have been expected az
i like every well bored in Beaumont
that afterwards proved a gusher
Gas had forced up sand and rock
sometimes completely out of tn
pipe, and over thu. derrick. s.
though we have not as yet the plea
sure of announcing a gusher, w
consider the prospects excellent.
