and stated that he was about to pay
the amount In Turkey. He asked that
the strictest instructions be sent for
the protection of those taking the mon
ey. The grand vizier agreed, and fresh
negotiations We're opened with the bril-
gsnds. A change was made in the mat
ter of payment. and letters We're obtain
ed as had been asked by cable.
William Smith Lyle. the deputy con-
sui general; NJ. Garguilo, dragoman to
the legation, and DIR. Peet, secretary of
the American mission, proceeded with
the cash to Paslog. Thence the party
was to proceed as far as necessary thru
the mountains with the money until
they met the releasing party, and the
money was handed over.
When they started $50 soldiers We're
with them, who marched in Indian file
on each side of the road, both ahead and
behind, thus preventing any one from
approaching the cortege. The COM
mandant explained that his orders were
to protect the party, whereupon Mr..
Smith-Lyte. finding that the purpose of
his journey must be hopeless, returned
and sought the local governor OF Pas
sion, admitted that his absolutely i'm
perative orders from Constantinople
were not to allow the money out of his
sight nor allow 1t to be paid over in
Turkish territory.
Mr.. Smith-Lyt hurried back to Con-
stantinople and explained the situation
and the unfortunate position due to the
American minister informing the Turks
OF how things stood, which information
they had used with their usual good
faith.
The money remains at Series. in Nb-
cedonia. 1t was impossible to pay it over
in Turkish territory, so fresh arrange
ments became necessary.
The American minister made repre-
sensations to the porte on its bad faith
in breaking its promise. The porte
again promised to allow the money to
be paid over. but complained that it
was not right to permit persons to en-
ter from Bulgaria and receive the mon
ey. and then return to Bulgaria, where
they could not be touched.

ANCIENT
TORTURE
How it has Been Revived
in Modern Times.

An ancient method Of poisoning
criminals was to force them to swal.
low large quantities of bulls blood.
Bulls blood Is really no poison at all.
Yet the prisoner usually died in agony.
This was caused by the coagulation or
hardening Of the bulls blood la the
stomach. The pressure OF this solid
mass on the heart, lungs and otheryltal
organs almost always resulted fatally.
That's just like indigestion. If
your food doesn't digest it remains IN
a hard lump in the stomach. Gases are
formed, which crowd and sometimes
actually displace other organs. Many
cases of supposed heart disease are due
to indigestion. The pressure upon the
lungs interferes with breathing. A dis
Orderedstomach effects the whole body.
by the use OF such preparation as
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure all this trouble
is removed Before food can be assimi-
lated into the system 1t must be re-
duced to proper condition by the di-
gestive fluids. II any Of these fluids
are lacking, perfect digestion is inn
possible. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure sup
plies the missing fluids. Stomach
troubles can't be cured by dieting.
The system demands both a sufflciency
and variety of food. You can't get
we'll or stay well without 1t. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure enables the stomach
to take care of any kind of good food.
1t renders dieting unnecessary. 1t

children too. Weak and sickly little
ones thrive on it. 1t never fails

A Can nj.

A surveying party Is now at work
finding the best route for a canal to
traverse the country from the
Bayou Carron, one mile from Wash
ington, to a point on the other side
of Eunice, taking in the great rice
fields of the Mamou section, the fin
est on earth.
The proposed canal will be the
largest In the South. 1t will be
about three hundred feet wide and
six feet deep, and will be able to
irrigate over seventy-fve thousand
acres of land.
1t is independent OF the proposed
Bradford canal--it is said to be an
intirely different concern. The
name Of the company, and the
source of the funds to build the
canal, is not generally known. All
we can say is that those in charge
of the surveying party seem in
earnest, and are down to hard work
finding the best route. Mr.. j. u.
Shell, OF New Orleans, seems to be
the spirit OF the affair.
A number of citizens from here
and Washington assembled at their
camp last Thursday, and were well
entertained by the gentlemen In
charge of the scheme.
Mr.. Wellman Bradford, the pro-
moter of the proposed Bradford
canal, was also in our city several
days this week, and we infer from
his talk that work on his canal
will begin shortly. He made the
preliminary survey several years
ago.

Died AT One Hundred And
Four Years.

Ned Hooper, the oldest man in
this parish, and perhaps of this
State, died at his home near Ope-
lousas on last Wednesday. lie was
born in 1898, thus making his age
lO4 years. He was the slave of
Charles Pitre for 81 years, and was
known as a good, faithful servant.
After he was set free by the war,
he went to preaching, and his lit
tie church near Andre Pierre Aug
uste, in the Dnrin naighborhood,
has good and faithful congrega-
tion, to whom he preached the
Gospel until he attained the ripe
old age of l02 1.-TWO years ago) when
he became so weak that he had to
turn his faithful flock over TO a
younger preacher.
Old Ned was the first man to
drive an OK cart from Plaquemine
to Point-aux-Loups. That country
was then a forest of sage grass, so
tall that q man on horseback was
completely hidden. 1t was. then
the cnstonl to travel from one point
of wood to the other visible point,
the tall timbers serving as a guide,
like so many lighthouses. But
Old Ned. and his "Marster" cut
their way through the tall sage
grass, and beat path that short
ened the distance by many miles.
There were then but about five set
tiers on the route mentioned.
The old man claims that he re-
members when Opelousas had but
five stores and dozen or more
scattered houses. He remembered
the battle Of New Orleans, and the
call to arms OF the people by the
brave Jackson. Indeed, this old
man could have furnished splendid
material to IL historian.
