WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man :
that is the order of u woman's pre-
ferences. Jewels form a magnet
of mighty power to the average
woman. Even the greatest of all
jewels, health, is often ruined IN
the strenuous efforts to make or
save the money to purchase them.
II woman will risk her health to
get a coveted gem, then let her
fortify herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds and
bronchial affections by the regular
use of DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. It will promptly arrest
consumption in its early stages and
heal the affected lungs and bron-
chial tubes and drive the dread dis
ease from the sytem. It is not q
cure-all, but is certain cure for
coughs. colds and all bronchial
troubles. You can get DR.. &. G.
Green's reliable remedies at V. H.
Frederlcls's drug store. Get

Beaumont Oil for BrOn-
ChitiS.

Rev. f. H. Harmon of Beau
mont, Texas, says that he was af-
fected with bronchitis in its worst
form, and was induced to try the
remedial effects Of the crude pc
troleum oil of the region SIX weeks
ago, and is now completely cured.
Eugene Elrid of Brennan has
been taking the oil for pulmonary
trouble, and it has wrought won
derful change for the better In his
condition. Many people in Hemp
stead are taking the oil, and the
use Of the remedy is rapidly be-
coming general throughout this
part Of the State. The dose is
fifteen to twenty drops of oil upon
a lump of sugar three times day.
1t Is stated by physicians that there
are no injurious properties in the
oil, while its cheapness places it in
the reach CT everyone. 1t is be.
lieYed that it IS the sulphur con-
stituent Of the oil that gives it the
remarkable curative pro perties.

Editor St. Tammany FARMER:
For the benefit of timid ladies. who
are easily frightened by insulting and
threatening letters, kindly find space In
your valuable journal for the following:
Not quite two years ago there ap-
peared an article in the FARMER rela-
tive to an anonymous letter sent to
. sweet young lady governess in high
~ respected family near chinchubs.
The father of the family nobly de-
nounced writer of same. Such another
letter was sent to one of the most
prominent women in Louisiana, lady
among whose large circle Of friends are
numbered the most brilliant men OF the
day, q widow of . prominent sugar
planter, one who would scorn to notice
such . cowardly letter, only that the
parties arc known and have been re-
uuested to leave their names at the
Office of the Wave, our home paper, to
be convinced Of the penalty Of the law
for using the mail for such purpose.
In vain has 1t been tried to force this
lady into accepting the ideas of others.
but without success, for the advice and
association of learned judges and law
yers. ETC., who have been her staunch
friends, and whose clientshe has been
under such guidance SO small . thing
40 . cowardly threat from women does
not scare cent. The letter has been
sent to the high authority, but I await
their signature. Should they fail to
send 1t, in the columns Of the FARMER,
which has honored me 90 often, I de.
nouuce these women and their accom-
plices - towards, and II they are spared
from the punishment they deserve, it
is through sympathy, respect and es.
teen for the klndest and best Of hus-
bands, whose name one bears, and the
respect for the respectable old family
Of whom they are members. Otherwise
these guilty ones are unworthy Of the
least consideration from any law.

Improved Train Service.

The coming season will be the
greatest the St. Tammany health
resorts have ever known. Ar
rangements have been perfected
for an improved train service, and,
if the plans which have been made
do not fall through, the time be-
tween New Orleans and Covlngton,
including, of course, the interme-
diate points, will be materially
shortened. ~-
The East Louisiana road will,
within the next sixty days, have
completed the laying of heavy rails
between Pearl River Junction and
Covington. New equipment has
been contracted for, and 1t Is not
at all unlikely that trains will be
run through from this city to Cow
ington, without the long switching
delay at Pearl River, which now
hampers the service.
p The town of St. Tammany is be-
ing rapidly built up. On Saturday,
March Is, an excursion will be
rendered it's friends by the men
behind the st. Tammany Health
Homes Company, which Is pre-
pairing to make an ideal resort out
of the pretty little village in the
ozone belt. The New Orleans and
Northeastern and the East Louisl-
ana have agreed to put IN an ex'
cursion rate to St. rammany of 80
cents for the round trip, as against
fl to Covlngton and Abita Springs
The running of Wednesday ex'
cursions will be resumed on Wed
nesday, April 2. The Sunday ex'
curslons run all the year round
With the two excursions weekly,

Survey Abandoned.

The Jackson, Mss, correspond
ent of the Daily States aays:
The work of the surveying the
proposed New Orleans and Missis-
siypi Railroad through Mississippi
from Pontontoc to the Crescent
City, has been abandoned. Chief
engineer DAVIS has accepted a
position with another system, and
his assistant, Mr.. j. H. Thomas,
has done likewise, which makes it
look very much like the enterprise
has fallen through. About l25
miles of the preliminary survey had
been finished. 1t was generally
believed that when the road was
chartered about three months age
that it was being backed up by the
Frisco system.

No State Laws Against
Trusts.

The Supreme Court of the
United States yesterday declared
unconstitutional the Illinos State
Statute prohibiting all comblna-
tions and trusts to monopolize or
control or restrain trade, on the
ground that Its prohibitions did
not extend to the cornering OF
controlling or monopollzlng the
trade in agricultural products,
when carried on by farmers. I'm
der the Illinois law, farmers could
form trusts TO deal in their own
products, while all other trusts
were prohibited. The Court de-
clares that IN its prohibitions, the
law must make no exceptions.
This decision, as q matter of
course, applies to all State anti
trust laws which make similar ex-
cept,ons. The Louisiana State
antitrust law Of 1892 falls under
the decision, because, while pro-
hibiting all trusts in commerce,
manufacturing and transportation
il mskes the following exceptions:
"That the provisions of the act
shalt not apply to agricultural pro-
ducts or live stock, while in the
hands of the producer or raiser,
nor be so construed as to affect
any combination of confederation
Of laborers, for the purpose of pro-
curing an increase in their wages
or redress of grievances" APP
parently farmers and stock raisers'
and laborers' trusts are to be in
cluded in any prohibitory legisla-
ton, and the State laws, being de-
clared null, there is no law against )
trusts in this or any other State
whose statute possesses the defect
mentioned. -Plcayune, March 10.

Elliot Tract.
A Charming Spot For
Summer or Winter
Homes.

Last Tuesday the well-known
Elliot tract of land, of late years
known as Fairview, passed into the
hands of DR.. J. y. Flower, of
Plttsburg, Pa. The tract con-
talns about eight hundred acres,
with a front of three-quarters of
mile on Tchefuncta river, and is
within ten minutes ride of Coving-
ton.
The land is elevated, and is we'll
sha ded with beautiful live oak,
magnolia, and other varieties of
trees, and is one of the most attrac-
tive spots IN the parish.
1t will be LAID out in lots and
squares, and wide avenues, and is
an ideal spot for summer or winter
| residence. The place is only about
800 yards from Old Landing,
where the fine lake steamer New
Camella arrives regularly during
the summer season, and the charm
ing Manresa place is not far dis
tant. Dixon Academy, DR.. Geo.
r. rolson's Sanitorium, and Gov
lngton are within easy reach, and
IN a short time regular transporta-
ton will be provided to Falrview

ten, via the Aunt Amy road,
which has been In use for over
twenty years.
This fine tract will doubtless
eventually be built up with resi-
dences, and become an important
suburb of Covington. Already
several persons have secured op'
tions on lots and squares, and will
probably build IN the near future.
1t remained for DR.. Flower tc
discover the advantages and grea,
future promises of this charming
location. The sale was consummate6
through MIR. F. B. Martindale, no
tary pnblic and real estate agent
l Being situated in the great ozone
belt, where yellow fever is never
known, and persons suffering from
pulmonary or bronchial affections
find instant relief and often a
complete cure, Fairvlew will quick
ly come to the front as one Of the
most charming and desirable places
in our parish, noted for its resorts
for either health or recreation,
i The Tchefuncta river, whose
natural beauties and enchanting
scenery have been extolled by thu
historians and poets, affords fine
bathing, boating and fishing.
The residence on the place is be
ing renovated and the fences re-
built. There is a fine flowing
we'll and others will be driver
soon.
'sFalrview" will soon be given :
"fair'' start, and its bright future
Is already assured.

Murphy & Co.'S stock Letter.

New York, Sept. 26.-The stock mar
ket to-day showed considerable fever
ishness. Notwithstanding that higher
prices were generally recorded. Rumors
of valuable St. Paul rights and reports
of a final disposition of the Louisville
and Nashville system stimulated the
speculation at the opening. the influ-
ence of the statement generally accept
ed as at least approximating the truth
resulting in advance of near per cent.
in St. Paul, nearly per cent. in Louis
vile and Nashville, 215 in Illinois.
Reading issues advanced sharply on
belief that the violence in the anthra-
cite regions presaged a collapse of the
strike. A favorable sentimental effect
was produced by the decision of Sec
rotary Shaw to resume purchases of
bonds for the government. In the late
afternoon, call money was bid up and
forecasts for a bank statement pre-
dicted upon known movements OF
money were not entirely satisfactory.
In the late dealings prices sold off
from best figures, but closed fairly firm.
