course frightens her.
The very thought Of the operating table and the knife
strikes terror to her heart. &1.-
And our hospitals full Of who there for
ovarian and womb operations
It quite that these troubles may reach stage
where an operation is only resource but such
much than is generally supposed because great

performed
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has
been very successful curing troubles In FACT
up to the point where the knife must be used to
instant relief this medicine is certain to help.
Ovarian troubles easily developed from womb
troubles and womb troubles very common that

nevertheless, most serious trouble and to recommend

to make from who have escaped the operat

THE NEW RAILROAD
The Route Changed to Take
in the Oil Fields.

One of the questions upper
most in the public mind is: Are
we going to have Il railroad to
Baton ROuge?'
All the indications point to an
affirmative answer, but time
alone will tell definitely.
After tracing line from this
town to point east of Bayou
Teche, the movements of the
surveyors would seem to show
that another route, taking in the
Oil fields, is to be surveyed. The
surveyors are now camped on
the POurciO place, short dis
lance from the MOresi well. OF
course the men are not telling
their business, and no outsider
is able to find out exactly what
they intend to do. But there
does not appear to be any doubt
that the intention is to run the
new road over the oil territory.
Such Il road would place Lafa-
v
of AnSe Labutte. This would
greatly facilitate the operations
there and would do incalcula BILE
good to this town.
From a conversation which
took place between two promi-
nent Southern Pacific officials it
is safe to say that system is
back of the movement to build a
road to Baton Rouge. A road
from here to the Capital will give
a big boost to Lafayette. Even
though it should not be a com
peting line, the benefits to be de
rived from such a road would be
very great.
Vanilla is by far the best and
most popular havoring extract
used. Judging from our sales
there is more used than all the
other extracts com bined. 1t is
a pleasing fact to US that many
have said, your vanilla is the
best we have ever used" We
guarantee all our extracts to be
strictly pure and have fifteen or
twenty different kinds. When
you want something nice, try
the vanilla. Moss Pharmacy.

SitiOn to grant a franchise to Mr..

conditions stipulated in the
franchise is that the work of
construction shall be begun in

months. Mr.. McIlhenny has
secured Il right of way through

reason to believe that the Police

LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA SATURDAY, AUGUST
SYRIAN PEDDLER
Found Dead on the Gallery
of a Negroes House.
Five Negroes Arrested and
Charged With the
Crime.

Jacob COursa, a Syrian ped
dler, was killed last Tuesday in
the forenoon on the plantation of
Hon. r. G. Landry, in this par
ish. COursa was found dead on
the gallery of the house of Il
negro tenant. named Charles
Paddle.
Coroner MoutOn, who was in
formed of the killing, went i'm
mediately to the place and con
Quoted an inquest. The man
was lying on the gallery with his
face to the floor. The upper
part of his head was completely
torn off. Pieces of the brain
and skull were found scattered
in all directions. The people
present were at loss to know
how the Syrian had been killed.
1t could not have been done with
an ak or any other instrument of
that character. There We're no
evidences of burnt powder and a
close investigation made by the
coroner failed to show any shot.
The members of the Jury did
not think that a shotgun could
have caused q wound of that
nature. Some believed that the
peddler had committed suicide
and had used an explosive of
some kind. A number Of wit
neSSeS were examined, but
nothing was elected to solve the
mystery. The testimony seemed
to prove that the inmates of the
house were away at the time of
the killing. The negroes about
the place had seen nothing and
heard nothing.
The Jury did not know how
and by whom the Syrian had
been killed and said so in it's YER
dict. It could arrive at no other
conclus sion.
subsequently, Sheriff Brous-
sard arrived and conducted a
further investigation. A thor
Ough search made by the sheriff
resulted in the finding of a blood
the gallery where the dead man
was A short distance away Il
wad, marked with blood, was
: found. In the house was Il shot
| gun, with both barrels loaded,
but one of the barrels appeared
} to have been recently discharged.
These facts satisfied the sheriff
that Il shotgun had done the
work, and he arrested Paddle,
who occupied the house, and two
other negroes who We're said tC
have been with him in the woods
at the time of the killing.
Later two young negro girls,
who testified before the cOrO
ner's inquest, were also ar,
rested. All protest their limo
cence and say they know nothing
of the crime.
t The motive of the crime was
evidently not robbery. The gen
eral impression is that jealousy
was the cause of the homicide.
