Ellie Mcdaniel.

Mr.. Ellie Mcdaniel, a native of
St. Landry parish, died at his home
last Sunday, at the age of So years.
He was buried in the Catholic Gem
etery Monday afternoon, his funeral
being very largely attended. The
Knights of Pythias followed the re-
mains to the grave and performed
the funeral rites of that society at
the conclusion Of the religious ser
vice.
The deceased was member of
the Gen. Gardner Camp of United
Confederate Veterans. During the
Civil war he belonged to Company F,
9Th Louisiana Regiment. He was
about II years of age when he
joined the Confederate army and
remained in the service of the South
until the battle of Gettysburg. 1t
is said of him that owing to his
youth the captain Of the company
would not permit him to do any
fighting, but he made himself very
useful as there was much to be done
outside the lines, though it seems that
the martial spirit in him was too
strong and sometimes be disobeyed
orders and joined the others. He
did that at Gettysburg and shoulder
ed musket and fought as hard as
anybody else. He was taken pris-
oner and sent to Fort Delaware
where he was kept eighteen months.
Mr.. Mcdaniel leaves wife and
two children. The. children are:
Mrs. John Fletcher a resident of
Tennessee, and Mrs. Louis Lacoste
of this town.

A WAGON MARKET.
Six Thousand Bales of Cotton Sold
in Lafayette This SeasOn-The
Importance of Good Roads.

Many persons in Lafayette will
no doubt he surprised to know the
large number Of bales of cotton
ginned in this town during the sea-
son which is drawing to close.
The special advantages offered to
farmers by the local gins have in
duced cotton-growers from adjoin
ing parishes to haul their cotton
here to be ginned and sold. The
gins operated by the Latay cite
and Gerac Bros. are about to close
most SUGGEST full season. The
number OF bales ginned by each
nearly reaches three thousand.
This speaks vel! for the manage
ment of both concerns. 1t is strong
evidence that their methods are &C
ceptable to the farmers. And it
must not be overlooked that this
record was made despite the short
ness of the crop. Right here we
desire to call the attention of the
business men of Lafayette to the
great importance of making a
wagon market Of this town. Only
few years ago little or no cotton
was brought to this place to be
sold, and if so much has been &C
complished in SO short period
without any effort on the part of
the business community, it can
easily be demonstrated how much
can be done if the intelli-
gent cooperation of the Peo-
pie is enlisted in movement
to make this point what it should
be-the best was on-market in South
Louisiana. 1t is safe to say that
every man who brings his cotton
to this place does not leave with
out spending some money here, and
if he is well treated, as he is sure
to be, there is every reason TO be
lieve that he will come back to do
his trading. Six thousand bales of
cotton sold here means nearly
Sz5o,ooo put into circulation at this
place. 1t means that almOS: half
of the crop of the parish was
brought to be sold here. This,
we submit Is an item worthy of the
most serious consideration Of the
business men of the town. But it
should not be ignored that this
could not have taken place if pro-
pitious weather had not given us
good roads. There isn't commu-
nifty on earth more interested in hav-
ing good roads than Lafayette.
With out them the trade Of the town
is deprived Of Its main sustenanCe,
for even though cotton may be
dethroned monarch elsewhere, it
still holds undisputed sway in this
bailiwick.

JUDGE JACKSON
From PARKWAY Alaska Visits his
Former SchOOlmateS in
LAFAYETTE.

A quite distinguished visitor spent
several days in our town this week,
in the person of Judge Kenneth NJ.
Jackson. Of Nome City, Alaska.
Although Judge Jackson is scarcely
thirty years of age, his wealth is al
ready IN the millions, and seems to
be continually growing larger in the
way that large capital does, notwith
standing that he provides for the en-
joyments OF life, both for himself and
his friends, with large and gene
rous hand. His present visit to the
United States is in the interest of one
of the great mining corporations Of
the Klondlke region for which he
is attorney and counsellor. He has
Just returned from Washington upon
this business, and is now returning
to Alaska by way of San Francisco,
after having spent a few days here
in a visit to his friends and former
schoolmates, Rev. Mr.. Wier, and
President Stephens, of the Indus
trial Institute.
The story Of Judge Jackson's
brilliant and quickly won success is
quite as remarkable and interesting
as fairy-tale, and all the more
pleasing because true. Fourteen
years ago he was Flooding, every
day kind of half-grown Texas boy,
attending school at KeaChi College
in North Louisiana, then under the
direction of +. N. Coleman. He
won friends easily, and had may Of
them; but he did not figure notice
ably as student or a scholar. After
leaving there, however, he studied
law and was successfully admitted
to the Texas bar. Seeing no out
look at home Gin Falls county,) he
struck out for Alaska on venture
and has succeeded beyond his
greatest expectations. During the
past seven years he has won his way
from almost poverty to twenty five
thousand dollars, then back again
to nothing, and finally to more than
millionaire same fellow who ten
years before would have been de-
lighted with four dollars and thirty
cents Such is life ia Alaska!
Meanwhile he has developed in
every way to the fullest stature Of
American manhood; -standing six
feet, two inches, weighing two hun
dred and twenty-pounds, speaking
large, full, and logical sentence,
and looking you square in the eye.
He was appointed Probate Judge by
President Cleveland, and since his
retirement a, the end of the Presi-
Dental term, he has devoted him
self to law-practIce and to his large
-Eaia4HqiRtefest in-AlaSka and in
Mexico.
The Judge expressed himself as
being delighted with this visit to his
old-time friends, whose incredibly
regarding his great wealth and good
fortune was easily satisfied and
silenced with a number of hand
some and expensive presents. We
join his friends in hoping that his
fortunes may continue to flourish
and that the time of his next visit
may not be far hence.

TWO THOUSAND
Dollars Asked by Rene DelahOussave
for Injuries Sustained In
Railway Collision.

Walter J. and Porteus Burke, at
torneys for Rene Delahoussaye of
New iberia, have filed a suit in the
district court against the Morgan's
Louisiana and Texas Railroad Com
pany to recover damages caused by
injuries sustained in the collision
which occurred last November near
the Lafayette Refinery.
MIR. Delahoussaye was one of the
passengers on the excursion train
Lafayette on Nov. e3 on occount
of the performance of the Buffalo
Bill Show at this place.
Mr.. Delahoussaye AYERS in his
petition that the coaches were over
crowded and he and other passen-
gers were compelled to stand in the
ailse of a coach, that while he
was standing the train collided
against a freight train coming from
the opposite direction and that the
collision caused a severe and violent
shock which threw him forward
fracturing and dislocating the inner
bone of the forearm. He AYERS
that the injuries were inflicted with
out the slightest contributory negli-
gence on his part; that the injuries
were due exclusively to the gross
negligence and misfeasance of duty
on the part Of the defendants agents.
He ayers further that because of
the fracture of his arm he was made
to undergo extremely severe pain
and that he could not get rest at
night and could not attend to his
business in the day, and states that
the injuries are of a permanent
character thus seriously affecting
the utility of the injured arm. The
petitioner alleges that he has suf-
fered damages in the sum of $4,000,
portion of which was incurred in
procuring medical treatment.
1t will be remembered that the
collision referred to in the petition
happened last November just be-
yond the eastern limit of the South
ern Pacific yards. n number of
persons were slightly hurt. The &C
cident was the result Of the failure
of the engineer Of the west-bound
train to stop at Landry's switch as
he was ordered to do.

school rooms of the city brighter, more
attractive, and more tasteful. The

ability, discovers the cause of the
failure and by proper training In
