A Notable Health Resort.

The Ozone Belt OF Louisiana situated
in ST. Tammany parish, lying immedi
ately north of of Lake p, ntchartrain,
piney woods country traversed by the
East Louisiana railroad. a connection of
the Queen and Crescent Route, and at
It's farthereSt point. Covington, La,
only sixty miles by rail from New Or
leans, the metropolis OF the south. is
perhaps the least known and least writ
ten about than any health resort in the
country, and yet has in the immediate
vicinity the best reputation 70" health
giving qualities of any locality in the
south, If not in the whole country.
1t has long been recognized by the
residents of New Orleans and the state
of Louisiana as place where those suf-
fering from lung troubles, feYers, stom
ach, liver and other organic diseases, as
we'll as general debility, can obtain per-
feet rest and almost instant relief, and
in most cases permanent cure. So con-
fident are residents of this favored To-
calitY of its perfect healthfulness and
their immunity from contagious diseases
that quarantine against infected local.
| tiles is never considered necessary or
desirable The most noticeable fea-
lures are the health giving Ozone piney
woods atmosphere and the splendid
spring water. The winter climate is
soft and warm, and the heat of summer
is tempered by salt breezes from the
Gulf of Mexico and Lake Pontchartrain.
The nights are always agreeable and
mosquitoes are almost unknown.
! Thousands of pc pie every year spel d
the summer there in hotel and cottages.
Many for health reasons and many 9th
ers because they find pleasure and COM
| fort in living In the splendid air of the
pine woods.
Nature has done all that could be
wished to make this region favorable
for mans use. Man has yet done little
to show his appreciation the goods the
Gods have offered. There are thous-
ans of acres of lands available to the
home seeker DESTROYS of living where
the vigors of northern climate can
surely be avoided.

CAPITOL COMMISSION MEET.
Capitol Building Will be Ready by
Next March.

Special to the Daily Progress.
jackson, Sept. 1.-The Mississippi
capitol commission met in regular
monthly session today and allowed
the estimate for work performed on
the new million-dollar capitol build
ing during the month of August
amounting to about $4,000. At the
present rate of progress the new state
house Will be ready for occupancy
about the first of next March. The
commission has not yet taken up the
question of arranging for the cor
ner stone ceremony, and it is not
likely that the building will be dedi-
Gated until it is occupied by the
officials.

The president had his first narrow

The president had his first narrow
escape from injury and perhaps
death the other day during his spin
around the New England states. AS
will be seen published in another
place the tally-ho In which he was
riding was struck by car and turned
over killing one of the occupants and
Injuring one or two others. Tally-ho
is not very desirable vehicle In
which to ride when it is elevated on
the flont end of car or is making a
race with it under its wheels.

Sam Small got drunk the other day
just as he was about to make tenn
perance speech and had to be car
ried to his room. And two days ago
Carrie Nation raised a row in a
Maine hotel because she was refused
a bottle of beer to drink while eating.
1t is strange how the mighty will
fall. But the mighty in these two
cases were only mighty in their own
estimation.

FOSTER DECLINES.

It seems that Mr.. Foster of Adams
county, whom the governor appoint
ed as one of the election commission
ers. refuses to serve and on grounds
that are as just as they are peculiar,
coming from a republican standpoint.
HIS contention is that while he has
been a lifelong republican and has
served the party faithfully in season
and out, the pre- sident has overlook
ed his worth and that of other repub-
licans in the state and appointed a
lifetime democrat to the Office of
United States marshal. Hence he is
sore and very sore and he is letting
the public know what caused the
sore. And the gentleman has a
right to be sore. If on the other
hand a democratic president had
appointed Mr.. Foster to the Office
there would have come up In the
state great wall and it would have
cost the party hundreds of votes in
the next presidential election. 1t is
mighty bad for q faithful servant to
serve the party for years and then
see the largest and best plum go to
some one else aligned with the party

The acting governor had hardly
begun to warm the governors chair
before he was besieged with petitions
for pardons of convicts sent from
several parts of the state. This goes
to show that the executive has a
great pressure to bear and should,
therefore, be man with a very
strong and firm mind. There are
hundreds of friends of convicts over
the state who grab at such an Oppor-
tunlty to get their convict friends
released, hoping to find the acting
governor a little chicken-hearted.

UNFRIENDLY TO AMERICA.
CastrO's Overthrow Would Not Cause
SORROW in America.

Washington Star.
American interests in Venezuela will
doubtless be safeguarded in the midst of
the disturbances caused by the success of
the Tevolutionists just reported, despite the
fact that according to the dispatches the
rebels have looted Barcelona and have pill
laged the American consular office. Ameri-
can warships are not far from the scene
of the lighting and can reach there in a
short time There seems 10 have been no
aim on the part of the revolutionists TO de-
stroy the property of Americans in particu-
lar, though the dispatch states that ''all
stores were pillaged, especially those be
longing to foreigners" The Castro govern
ment which is apparently rapidly crunb-
ling, was inimical to the United States, and
opponents adopting the same policy and
displaying it by a stroke which would un-
doubtedly evoke at once the practical re-
sentiment of this country.
The downfall of Castro will not be deeply
regretted by the United States. He has not
permitted the development of Venezuela
which this country would be pleased to OBJ
serve. He has shown al every turn his ami
mostly toward the United States, has
blocked the efforts Of its minister to secure
justice for American claimants in the
courts, and at one time even placed the dip
lomatic relations of the two governments in
jeopardy by forcing that minister, out of
self-respect, to withdraw for a time from
Caracas. He had evidently alienated his
ranted early belief in the success of the
revolutionists, and their progress has there
fore not been at all surprising. 1t is unfor-
tunate that their success at Barcelona
should be marked by the horrors now re-
ported, for such actions will go far toward
destroying the confidence of northern
Americans in the wisdom and capacity of
the men who are leading the revolt
The United States wishes at all times for
the estabi ishment of strong governments in
South and Central America, and it would be
best pleased with each of the republics
there firmly established on a basis of ra-
tional political succession founded upon a
wisely extended and fairly guarded popu-
lar suffrage. 1t dislikes the spectacle of
administra tion-mahng by revolt and at all
times eXerts its quiet influence TO check
the tendency 10 appeal to arms rather than
TO the ballot as a means of securing
changes of executive. Nevertheless Castro S
methods were so dictatOrial, his course had
been such a fragrant violation Of the prin-
ciple of popular government, that there
was perhaps no other way to secure peace
and content and prosperity TO that natural
ly rich country than by the usual South
American fashion.
