The Same Here.

The Mansfield Journal calls at
tention to a matter that has grown
to be IL nuisance here in Opelou-
sas. It says: The begging mania
has become almost insufferable
here. We do not mean, of course,
to refer to the appeal for charity
of the needy and helpless. Un-
fortunates of this class ought to
be helped, and so far as our OBJ
servation has extended, always
are helped. But it has become
the custom when a certain class
lose a horse by death, a cabin by
fire or suffer pecuniary loss in
some other way, they, or their
friends, start q subscription for
their benefit and canvass the
town. In many instances the al
legged sufferers are able-bodied
men, used to work, and some of
them are not paupers at all. They
simply want something for moth
ing, and pose as objects of charity
in order to accomplish their end.
Now, our people are liberal and
free-hearted, and we think they
have responded to fake charity
calls often enough. This indis-
criminate begging mama ought to
be checked, at least in justice to
the worthy objects of charity in
our midst, if for no other reason,
and the proper way to do it is to
draw the line on the worthy and
the impostor. In doing this the
charitably disposed donor will be
protecting himself and, maybe,
teaching his would-be bleeder
valuable lesson in self-reliance.

ONE
WOMAN'S
WAY
Of Kidding Herself of Trouble
And Securing Happiness.
For Years She Was in Misery
Till Finally She Deter
mined to be Happy Again.
How She Succeeded.

A story of suffering that rings true
in the hearts of many a woman is that
of Mrs. Joseph Adams, the wife of a
retired farmer, who lives at No. 30S
Third street, Webster City, Iowa. Her
trouble and how she secured happiness
at last is best told in her own words.
For three or four years, she says,
"I was miserable. | suffered awful
pain from cramps in my stomach. |

seemed to agree with me. l would
grow very faint and suffer very much
with cramps every little while, and af-
ter these attacks | would be very

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
These pills will not only cure cases
similar to that of Mrs. Adams but, con.
tanning, as they do, all the elements
necessary to give new life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves, they have proved efIica-
cious in a wide rang" of diseases. They
are an unfailing specific for such dis
eases as locomotor ataxla, partial par.
alysis, st. Vitus' dance, sclatlca, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache,
the after-effects of the grip, palpitation
of the heart, pale aud sallow complex
ions and all forms of weakness, either
in male or female.
There are many limitations of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
but none of them possess the wonder.

umns to which he was Justly entitled
in discussion of public matters. The
facts are quite different. A Salem pa
per had commented adversely on Mr..
Bushey-and the day before the Repub-
llcan primaries Mr. Bushey asked The
Journal to publish his reply 10 the 9TH
er Salem paper, and the reply was de-
clined on the ground hat The Journal
had not attacked him, and tha he should
seek redress in the paper that did at.
tack him. Mr.. Bushey opened his con-
troversy through the Portland paper,
and carried 1t on with Governor Geer,
and It had never occurred to him to
ask The Journal to print anything un-
I'll II suited his convenience.
When he says The Journal every
day prints mlsstatements of the law
and the facts in relation TO base and
lieu lands in this state, he makes a
statement that is not true The Jour
nal has fought the fight for honest pub.

fact that the school land frauds under
Geo. W. Davis we're finally exposed and

Bushey is not the ,nly man who has
probed these matters.
Mr.. Bushey's last gratuitous false

paper. And they never will be denied

PROBLEM
OPENED
City Council Demanding
Greater Illumination.
Will Consider Putting in a
Plant of its Own.

At the meeting Of the city council
Friday night Councllmen Griswold and
Pohle, as members of the ways and
means committee, reported favorably
to the painting of the Yew Park hose
house. II was ordered that a contract
be let for this work. The building will
receive two coats of paint on three
sides, and three coats on the south
side.
The matter of grading the alleys of
the city was discussed. Mr.. Byars had
been selected as the engineer to estab.
lish the grades, and, as he is absent
from the city, the matter was contin-
ued until his return.
Alderman Pohle reported verbally
on the matter of the construction of

Mr. Griswold complained about the

and asked that the matter of the quail

the city securing a plant of It's own be
investigated. A committee composed
Of Messrs. Grlswold, Stolz and Bur.

to report. The opinion was quite gen
orally expressed that the city was not
getting half the light that it was pay

done TO improve this service.
Alderman Stolz asked that the street
commissioner be directed to drain GER
