WE MUST HAVE IT.

EoRr SCOTT, May II. The twenty.
fret annual encampment of the
Kansas G. A. r. will be held here
on May O.22. Two important ques-
tions will come up for considera-
ton. One is, shall the state reuu-
ion be abandonedf The other 10 to
devise a plan to reduce the ex-
penses of the order.
Interest has Jagged In the state
reunion proposition for several
years past. The reunion last year
at Hutchinson was almost a COM
plete fizzle. On account of the lack
of interest there is no clamor
among the cities, as there used to
be, for the next reunion. Kansas
has number of successful district,
county and regimental reunions.
The two largest probably are the
Baxter Springs reunion and the
Dodge City reunion. More people
attend the Baxter reunion In one
day than take In the state reunion
Ia three years. II is common
thing for Baxter to have 10000 peo-
pie on the grounds on the big day.
The state reunion always costs con-
siderable money. The department
has to stand IL. Funds are now get
ting low and resources must be
guarded carefully. Therefore 1t is
probable that tho reunion fea-
ture will be dropped after this year.
The above is a special dispatch
from Fort Scott to the Kansas City
Journal. We believe the state re-
union could be secured permanent
ly at Baxter Springs If proper eff.
fort was made. Baxter reunions
have overshadowed the state reun-
ions for some years past and there
is no doubt but that they will be
entirely abolished within a few
years, while the Baxter reunions
will continue to grow and expand.
This 10 due in a great measure to
good management and proper re.
gard for the wants of old soldiers.
The Baxter reunions are perman.
ent; the grounds are owned and
controlled by the old soldiers; they
are not held to draw trade to
any city or for advertising pur.
poses. 1t is a soldiers camp where
all can go with their families and
spend week in the woods. The
privates have the same privileges
as the officers and all are made to
feel that il is theirreunion.
1t is a question whether it would
be advisab to bid for the state re.
union or not. Our meetings are
about as big az we need and under
the present system they are harmo.
NOUS and satisfactory to all, while
the state reunion might result in
dissension and discord. We trust
the managers of our association
will work for the best interests of
the old soldiers in this matter and
if they think advisable secure the
permanent location of the state re.
union at Baxter Springs.

A COTTON PICKER At LAST.

\ special to the Birmingham
News from jackson, Miss, dated
April 2Sth, says: The first regular
contract ever made in the world to
pick cotton by machinery was
closed in Greenville a few days
since, and the first experiment with
the machine will be made on the
RoSeustock plantation. In Wash
ington county, next fall \ Pitts
burgh man named Thos, r. Morris
is the inventor of the device, and
for the past ten years he has been
conducting experiments. He now
claims that the device has been
modelled on practical working
basis. aud feels confident that he
will revolutionize the cotton pick
ing industry of the South. The
machine. he admits. is valueleSS
except on the level uplands, low
valleys and prairie grounds; but,
even if it should prove successful
with this limit, its effect on the la
Dor question in the South will be
very marked. as millions of dollars
are expended each year for the
labor employed in cotton picking.

THEOLOGlANS SCORED.

Chicago, May l9.-Dr. Edward
Everett Hale has scored theologianS
for not having a knowledge of re-
ligion, in a sermon at the Univer-
sity of Chicago He defined a
theologian as one who has theory
about God, his relation to his fell
lowmen, which he can state in
scientific terms, and said that the
tendency for men to know theories,
but not the religious life, shows
itself more and more in literary
and refined circles.
Ia presenting the "religion of
the Lords Prayer" he said:
1.-The four gospels are the des-
pair and terror of the scientific
theologians."
He said the Lords Prayer was
the only ritual the Saviour had
left, and declared it to be a com
plete statement of the fundamentals
of religion.
whoever repeats the Lords
prayer or thinks it," be said,
"comes into heavenly relation with
God and man"

A Brooklyn jurist has denied a
divorce to a man who complained
that his wife had used poker on
his head with telling effect. Though
concediug that poker is not a
proper argument to settle domes-
tic unpleasantness and that the
Uranium of the dutiful husband is
not the place to use it, the Brook
Ign judge has decreed that only
one assault is not sufficient cause
for a divorce. Now that the jude
ial limits have been clearly estab-
lished by the court, wives with
unruly husbands will no doubt
refrain from an injudiciouS exer-
else of this right. According to
the learned judge wife may batter
her lord and masters head with
the persuasive poker when the oc
casion demands severe measures,
but she should not overdo the
thing, by repeating the assault.
The cause of woman's right is
making such rapids strides that it
is safe to say that another decade
will witness the complete enamel.

MANAGING THE HAIR.

Hair oils of every kind and all
preparations are for the hair are
unnecessary so long as the scalp is
in a healthy condition. Brush the
hair daily with stiff brush, and,
if the hair has enough natural oil
to permit, wash it once in two
weeks with clear cold water. A
little white CASTLE soap may be
used occasionally, but if it is mixed
with 80 per cent, alcohol it will be
less injurious to the head than
when it is applied alone with water.
The falling out of the hair is
caused by fever or severe de-
rangement of the health. 1t is
checked by improvement in the
health and by applying local
remedies. An excellent lotion for
the scalp is made of two drachms
of tincture of cantharides, six
drachms of rosemary and eleven
ounces Of elderhower water. APP
ply little once or twice day
after brushing the scalp briskly
with stiff brush until it is in a
glow. When the hair is short it is
an excellent plan to dip the head
in cold water night and morning,
and, after thoroughly drying the
hair. brush it quickly and we'll for
five minutes.
An excellent hair wash, when a
hair wash is needed, consists of
seven ounces of rosewater, one
ounce of aromatic spirits of am
monia, one and a half drachms of
tincture of cantharides and half an
ounce of glycerine. Shake aud mix
the mixture we'll in bottle and
apply it to the scalp with an old
toothbrush York Tribune.

NO DANGER.

developments in the Bayou Plaquemine
matter indicate that there is absolutely nc
foundation for the report that the project
is to be abandoned.
Senator Foster made the following
statement concerning the ease to-day:
II have received from the engineer s
department the assurance that the object
sought by the formation of the board of
engineers was to prepare at the earliest
possible moment method of settlement
between the government and the eontrae-
tor regarding claims for work already done
and equitable rates for work yet to be
done by which the work of Improvement
may be resumed and continued to compile
ton without further delay.
''lf a mutual agreement under the pre-
sent contract cannot be secured the con-
tract will be annulled and new one
formed to hasten the completion oil the
work"
This shows that the concurrent resolu-
ton of Representatives Burke and Nell
benny is having its effect and that our re
representatives. in Congress, are obeying the
voice of the people as announced through
.he people by mass meetings all along
the line after New iberia had set the

Taking Money From the Public Schools

| Judge Gilbert l.. Dupre, in a
communication we. publish else
where, protests vigorously against
a bill recently introduced in the
Louisiana Legislature providing for
the creation of a commissioner of
hygiene or any more high salaried
officers. We need for our public
schools, he points out, all the
money we can possibly spare from
the States revenues; and any
money diverted for new and I'M
necessary offices is just so much
taken from the schools.
What Judge Dupre says on this
point is we'll taken and will meet
with hearty approval from the
people. The fact brought out by
the census, that Louisiana is the
most illiterate State in the Union.
possessing the largest proportion
of men and women who cannot
read or write, places upon it the
duty of remedying this unfortunate
condition of affairs as soon as pos
sible. The people fully realize
responsibility, and from all quart
erS the message has gone to the
Legislature instructing it to do no
more for the schools, to increase
the appropriation for them.
The Governor has recommended
this, and we believe the occasion is
ripe for the Legislature to do some
thing for the cause of public edu-
cation. The only danger lies in
the possibility of the public funds
being Incorporated, that is, the
money that should go towards
great public causes like education,
in which all are interested and
which is of vital Importance to the
State. being diverted and expended
in providing new Offices and sine
cures for politicians or friends of
politicians ont of a job.
Gov. Heard has shown that the
increasing demands for the public
institution will leave but small
fraction of the general fund for
general purposes. Ii the already
large armyof officials is still further
increased by the creation of new
positions, there will be none of the
general fund left, and the educa-
tional fund will be raided; aud
many more children will be cheated
out of the education which the
State owes them, and which it is
interested in giving them. These
raids should be frowned on. There
are too many offices in Louisiana
already, too much money expended
in salaries, with the result that
although the revenues of the State
are much greater than those of
Mississippi it has less to spare for
its schools.-T. d.
