Professor Campbell of the Lick Oh
servatory reports that the star called
XII Geminorum, which has long been
known as a variable, is in reality
double, but it's two components are so
close that no telescope is able to sep
arate them, and their existence is
proved by the shifting lines in the
spectrum. The variations in bright
ness, he thinks, can only be due to the
attraction between the two stars rails
ing immense tides in their molten or
vaporous globes, which, through the
effects Of compression Or otherwise
displace the spectral lines.

The Transcript prints approx
ingly an article which sneers at
Foster, Buckman's opponent, say
ing that Fosters only stock in
tradeis being an old soldier. If the
old soldiers vote as Fuller says
they are all right; otherwise nc
good. The local republican
leaders showed what they thought
of old soldiers when they shovel
old soldier Cerbin out Of the post
office.

Diamonds have been found in con-
siderable numbers and Of very fine
quality in the interior of British
Guiana, on the Mazaruni River 250
miles above it's junction with the Es-
sequibo. Mr.. Moulton, our consul at
Demerara, says that the London deal
ers to whom the stones have been for
warded consider them superior to
South African diamonds and equal in
quality to those of Brazil. The pres
ent diggings are situated in a tropical
jungle five miles from the river, and
the region is not easily reached. The
matrix from which the gems have be-
come scattered is now the object of
search.

The New York Sun, whose re-
publicanism cannot be doubted,
in commenting On President
Roosevelt's Providence deliver

his proposition to amend the Co..

''The revision of tue constitu-
ton, however, to enlarge the pow
ers of the federal government over
the business of the country, was
specifically demanded in 1900 by
the platform Of the socialists, on
which stood Eugene V. Debs of
Illinois and Job Hartman of CAL
ifornia as that party's candidate
for president and vice-president. -

Archduke Otto, the future emperor
OF Austria, is an artist of great talent.
He possesses his own studio in the
Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, and

Dr.zJ. A. DuBois-is man that

is not certain yet, it will be all

The Herald is only = ooker on

Foster campaign is concerned,
but the following extracts, which

hive been asked to publish, will:
give some idea Of the Foster side
Of things: .... =..z~-
Alexandria Post-News, (Rep.l
edited by G. S.. Mitchell, who is
head Of the republican press bur
eau, says: I'm politics Buchanan
has always represented the tricky
aud unscrupulous. : Ifyou
want Buchanan you will have to
do business with him. His
legislative record is highly unsav-
Dry. We have yet to hear a prom
inent public man say a good word
for him politically. He believes
in the money power in politics
and he uses it freely.
''What our measurement
Of Mr.. Buckman'' is may 'cut no
ice, but we do not propose to sit
quietly by and see nominated by
the republicans a man whom we
feel to be WHOLLY UNFIT
TO BE THE PARTY'S CAN
DlDATE FOR CONGRESS!
Nor do we believe we are any
more particular in this regard
than is the general public, and,
unless the democrats nominate a
veal. and unknown candidate, MIR.
buchanan, if the republican choice,
WILL BE SLAUGHTERED
AT THE POLLS, AND HE
SHOULD BE"
Alexandria Post-News, (Rep.)
March 9th, 1902:
The Post News has not hid in
ambush nor waited to stab Mr..
Buchanan in tbs back. We an
nounced long ago that we would
not support him if nominated, and
told why. Moreover, we have
yet to talk with a republican, and
we have talked with many, who
are supporting him, who did not
admit that he was not fit candi-
date. They all say he is corrupt
al. d leader in the legislative cir
Gle, that has to be dealt with to
get their votes. He has all his
life been lumberman and is tied
hand and foot to the lumber bar
ems of Minneapolis, who will sup
ply him with money for bis cam
paign."
Litchfeld Saturday Review:
"The buchanan forces have re-
sorted to mudslinging in the last
days of the congressional cam
paign when thought it was too
late to answer them. 49,
THE Eden Valley Journal, af-
ter first favoring MIR. Foster, and
after the editors had written him
saying that. they were going to
support him, has changed front
and in a disreputable mud singing
article supports buchanan. But
the Journal does not represent the
people, and everyone knows why
the change was made, and. it will
not hurt but help Mr.. Foster. The
people know him and have ap-
proved of him by electing him as
county attorney four times in sue
cession. The republicans in
Meeker county are unit in bis
favor, and have already organized
a Foster club with the names Of
more than one thousand republi
cans who are working to secure
his nomination to congress. Th'
falsity of the Journal article is TOT
! plain on it's face for it to be be
lieved by anyone where Mr.. Eos
ter is known or has ever beer
| heard"

AmbrOiSe MOutOn.

News was received Wednesday morn
! ing that Mr.. Ambrose Mouton of this
place, had been seriously injured ut Nor
gan City, having had the terrible mis-
fortune to have both legs crushed above
the knee.
The accident occurred at 1890 a, m.
Wednesday morning. His train had
made short stop at Bayou Ramos, and
was adding some cars. Young Mouton
was voluntarily assisting the brakeman
in coupling the cars. Mouton stepped on
the brake beam to ride short distance,
instead of running along side. His foot
slipped and he was thrown under the
wheels. The wheels passed over the legs
of the unfortunate young man. crushing
them. After the truck had passed over
his legs, the body rolled down the en-
bankment where he was picked mp few
moments later by the train crew. Con-
ductor Ryan, in charge of the train wit
messed the accident. With the aid of
the brakemen. he wrapped the legs of
the young man in order to stop the flow
of blood. The victim was then placed
on mattress on the floor Of the caboose
and his train pulled out to Morgan City
which is five miles from the place where
the accident occurred Medical assist
ancc was given at Morgan City. After
arriving ut this place young Monton as
ked for the Catholic pricat and his re-
quest was soon accomplished. The Re-
verend Father accompanied the wounded /.
man as far rs Alglers and gave his as
sistAnce until the young man br,athed
his last.
1t was after 8 o'clock when the train
arrived at A,giers. The cahoose was un i
coupled. but just as it was backing into
the yards. about $50 O'Clock. young
Mou,on died. The body was shipped to
Lafayette on the 9:20 train. The mother
of young Ambrose, accompanied by Mr..
Chas. o. Mouton, who had been notified
of the accident arrived just in time to go
back with the dead body, Mouton wes
25 years old.
The funeral took place from the
family residence at 4 p m. Thurs
day. The remains, accompanied
by the Fire Department, the
Sontag Military Band the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, the
A. .. U. w, OF which he was
member, and an immense crowd
Of sympathizing friends. were borne
to the Catholic church where SER
vices were held. Rev. Father Boil
lard in very touching words spoke
Of the young man sterling quail
lies and his remarks were indeed,
appropriate to young Mouton's
character and worth.
Mr.. Mouton was a young man
Of many fine qualities, devo-
ted son and and brother and a
loyal friend. In his daily life he
was quiet and unobtrusive and had
a pleasant, friendly way that won
for him the high regard Of all who
knew him.
To the family who have sustain
ed such heavy loss the Adverti-
ser extends its deepest sympathy.
