There is some complaint in the
state papers Of premature chicken
shooting, and it has been said that
guns have been heard popping in
this region some time. OF course
the hunters will say they are out
for bear or snipe, but nobody be-
lieves that. There is only one way
in which to make the game law
anything but farce so far as a
good many are concerned, and that
is to make it a nisdemeanor to be
found with a shot gun on the prairie
or in the fields before the chicken
season opens. Otherwise it is just
as we'll to abolish the law. There
are always some people who are
content to wait, and those who are.
are the ones that get left, as they
look at it. The man who observes
the law, helps protect the game for
the one who does not give a tihk-
er's dam for it. With all the game
wardens in the state, scarce bak-
er's dozen of arrests are made in
the season, "and there you are'' as
the Major would say.-Ozone.

The Presidents Home Life.

To the good people of Oyster
Bay, the president is still Theodore
Roosevelt, citizen and friend. He
lives among them in the same way
as Of yore. They love and admire
him as a man, neighbor and cit1-
zen. The prestige Of the highest
position in the greatest nation on
earth does not affect the tried and
true friendships of a lifetime. It
is the picture Of the presidents
real home life that stands in the
foreground. In the few quiet hours
on Sycamore Hill-in that study
where his busy brain and pen have
spent many happy hours-his own
home-I believe that Theodore
Roosevelt, president, spends his
happiest moments devoting his in
tense energies and purposes to ide-
ais which have no compromise.
The open hearted hospitality of
this home at Oyster Bay reflects
American life at its best. Keenly
watching all the high points of ma
tional progress; feeling that vital
lied touch Of push and energy, I
felt that the hill, fringed by heav-
lily wooded circle of green, held the
ideal palace of a nations ruler-a
Monochrome in it's broades:, truest
sense.-National Magazine.

Dispatches announce that four
teen hundred emigrants deserted
Manitoba for Dakota. This was
twenty years ago, and today in view
of the many thousand Of emigrapts
who are focking into Manitoba and
the northwest country, it should
set people to thinking and put them
on their guard. Although now,
the general impression is that all
that north country is infallible yet
it not many years ago since there
was steady outflow of dissatisfied
people from Manitoba and the
Northwest territory into the United
States who were dissatisfied with
the country and its climate. It is
not unlikely but that we will see

a Lucky Find.

Great excitement prevailed at the

a monster shark, the largest ever seen
here, was brought in by some Jap
fishermen, who Immediately proceed
ed to cut the carcass up. The dorsal
fin of the sea monster, measured nearly
seventy-two inches, and will be pre-
scented to the Bishop Museum. But
the bystanders nearly went wild when
upon opening the stomach Of the shark
a variety of ships instruments and
sailors clothes were found. upon ex-
amining the lining Of the stomach there
were also found several cards explain
ing the merits OF the Douglass Patent
Closet, sold by Bath the Plumber, and

The parish executive committee
made q mistake in proclaiming
Isaiah Nugent, who only received
s votes in ward 5, as the nominee
for constable in that ward. Also
E. W. Rogers, who received 4 votes,
and F. F. O'Neal. who received IL
votes in ward Z, and are named re-
spectively as the candidates for 1st
and I'd constable. None of these
parties received q majority of the
votes cast in their respective wards.
and therefore there were no nomi-
nations for constable in wards 5
and z. We suggest that the DEM
ocrats in those wards hold such
primary as suits them best and de-
termine these matters without re-
quiring the parish committee to
take any action in the matter.

he consignee for delay in unload

Ing.
Third-We submit that where
cars are properly loaded and notice
given to the railroad, and bills OF
lading signed by the railroad, that
demurrage should be assessed
against the railroad for each day of
delay in moving said cars, and that
such demurrage should either he
paid in cash to the shipper or cred
tied on demurrage assessed against
him for delays in unloading.
Fourth-We further submit that
one OF the great evils with which
shippers and consignees have to
contend is the delay in transmitting
cars from point of shipment to des-
tination. Ttis delay often occurs
ct the starting point but more Of
ten is caused by delay in transfer
ring cars between connecting lines.
We think there should be an agreed
average daily mileage for the trav-
el of cars loaded with lumber and
its products, say twenty-five miles
per day, and that where . car in
transit makes less than twenty Eve
miles average per day, without ac-
cident or unavoidable cause, that
the consignee or shipper should be
allowed demurrage for each days
delay or detention Of said car in
transit.

Poisoned to Death.

The Woman Charged With the Crime
Lodged m JAN.

On Tuesday morning the town of
Colfax was startled to learn that
Mr.. b. III. Williamson, one of the
oldest residents of this town, had
been poisoned by a woman and was
in the last tbroes. of death. The
deed occurred at his farm about six
miles northeast Of Colfax, where
he was busy gathering his crop.
He staid all night in the house
occupied by his tenant, Mr.. j. w.
Fletcher and his family. Accord
ing to the statement made by Mr..
Williamson to. his brother and
nephew. Mrs. Savilla Roberts
brought him a cup of coffee which
she said was too bitter for her to
drink, but perhaps he could drink
it, which he did. After drinking
the coGee ne went to the stable and
barn to look after the stock, but
soon returned and remarked to Mr..
Fletcher that he was poisoned. and
that Savilla Roberts had poisoned
him with the cup Of coffee which
she gave him. Hot water and .
number of antidotes were tried but
without avail. He began to go in
to convulsions and requested that
his brother, Frank williamson,
and nephew. Henry Denton, and
DR.. e. B. Gray be sent for at once.
The FIRST two, living near by, got
there pretty soon, but he was about
dead by the time DR.. Gray could

The prospect for a demurrage
law to be passed by the next Legis-
lature seems to be almost certainly
assured. As the people of Grant
parish are very much interested in
this subject and as Mr.. Lee the
Democratic nominee for the Legis-
lature is especially championing q
bill of this sort, we give herewith
the action of the joint committees
appointed by the Mississippi and
Louisiana lumbermen at their re-
cent convention in Shreveport
The committee held their joint
session in New Orleans in the Ho-
tel Grunewald on Nov. I'd, and
agreed on a definite line of action
to carry out their plans. The COM
mittees from the two States talked
over the question of car demurrage,
and then adopted a petition to the
Manager of the Car Service Asso-
citation, in which the demands of
the retail lumbermen were set forth
plainly, as follows:
New Orleans, Nov. 2, 1903.
Mr.. N. s. Hoskins, Mansger Car
Service Association of Mississippi
and Louisiana Dear Sir-We.
the undersigned committee, were
appointed by the Retail Lumber
Dealers Association of Mississippi
and Louisiana to call on you in the
name of the Association and pre-
sent request for amendments to
the car service rules for said States
in the following particulars:
First-We beg leave to call your
attention to the rules on the sub
ject of demnrrage, which we sub
NIT should be framed in the inter-
est of the shippers as we'll as the
railroads. We submit that the
shipper should have credit for the
time saved t., the railroad company
by bis unloading cars in less than
the free time granted by the rule.
We further submit that If any time
elspses betweenthe arrival of goods
and notice to the cousipnee Il
should be credited on any demur-
rage assessed against the consignee.
Second-We respectfully submit
that where cars are not promptly
furnished on written demand by
shipper demurrags should be al
lowed against the railroad for each
day of delay in furnishing cars at
the same rate now assessed against

reach him, and it was too late for
medical aid to do any good.
Mr. Williamson only lived lit
tie more than two hours after TAX
ing the poison. DR.. Gray had Dr..
Smith, the coroner, summoned, and
also Dra Goode and Roberts, and
had the victims stomach and con-
tents taken out for the purpose of
having its contents examined by
the State chemist. DR.. Gray and
Clerk J. J. O'Quinn left for New
Orleans by train Wednesday night,
taking with them q glass jar con-
tanning the stomach and contents
to have it analysed.
The doctors all agree that the
symptoms we're those produced by
strychnine. After being accused
of the crime the woman ran of in-
to the woods and could not be
found. Sheriff Swaford was out
nearly all night with several depu-
ties, the night being bright with
moonlight The next day the wo-
man surrendered to Deputy Jos.
Ferrier, and was brought to Colfax
and put in jail.
This crime is about the most
horrible that has occurred in this
parish for many years. It is
thought that other parties besides
the woman were implicated in the
crime.
