Doatn VI -. ". hefbnoy.-A recent
issue Of the Woodland (Cal.) Democrat an
nounces the death, on February 9th, Of Hon.
David Newcomer Hershey, native of Mary
land and we'll known to many of the older
residents Of this county.
He was born In Washington county, four
miles from Hagerstown, on April ID, 1878.
His father, David Hershey, was native of
Pennsylvania, and was born near Harris
burg.
When Mr.. Hershey was but six years of
age his parents moved to Montgomery coun-
ty, near GAINESVILLE, and purchased a con.
siderable tract of land known as the "Wil.
son Inheritance" A part of this, includ-
ing the old homestead, Is now owned by his
brother, Q. Il. Hershey.
On becoming Of age Mr.. Hershey decided
TO go west, and went to Howard county, Mis-
souri,, driving team the entire distance.
For about eight years he was engaged in
tobacco raising and trading. During that
period he made trips over much Of the State,
and also through Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas.
In 1850 he visited his old home in Mary.
land, returning in 1861 to Missouri, where
he was in the employ Of Col Flournoy and
his brother.
In 1853 Mr.. Hershey and VIM. s. Flour.
nOy started for California with drove of
300 cattle. They were delayed by Indian
depredations and subjected TO many hard.
ships, but finally succeeded in passing In
safety through the region infested by hostile
Indians.
Mr.. Hershey and Mr.. Flournoy located In
Yolo county, CAL, near the present Hershey
home, each taking up quarter section of
land. They engaged In the cattle industry,
which rapidly developed into business of
considerable proportions. Mr.. Hershey,
from time TO time, added to his landed pos
sessions, until he eventually became the
largest real estate holder In the county. He
was also largely interested in Woodland
property. He built the Woodland Opera
House, also the Hotel Julian. He was a
heavy stockholder in the Bank of Wood
land, Bank OF Yolo, and Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank. He was a director of the
Bank Of Yolo and President Of the Farmers
and Merchants Bank until compelled to re-
linquish active management on account of
Ill health. He was also owner of the Her
shey House In Kinglet's Landing.
Mr.. Hershey took an active interest In
public affairs. He was a Democrat of the
old school and was prominent and inHuen.
tial in the councils Of his party. He served
two terms in the legislature of California.
In 1873Mr. Hershey married Miss Ella
Flournoy, daughter OF William Flournoy,
his old partner. He is survived by his wife,
q son and five daughters, also 6y his brother,
Mr.. G. II. Hershey, Of this county.

A Weak
Stomach

Indigestion "a often caused by over
eating. An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't over
load the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse TO digest what you eat.
Then you need Q good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food with.
out the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unneces-
sary. Kodol quickly relieves the feel
ing Of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.

weather Warnings March weather,
as figured out by Rev. Hicks, will be as fol-
lows:
The first regular storm period for March
Is from the I'd to the 7th. A marked change
to warmer and falling barometer will lead
rapidly into cloud:ness, with general rain
and thunder storms 10 the South. Rains
may also be expected in central aud north
ern sections, but change to much colder will
follow the rains, with heavy snow squalls
generally along the northern side Of the
country. Sharp change to cold will bring
up the rear of these storms, bringing the
temperature quite to the frost line far into
the South.
An ELECTORAL crisis may be expected from
about the 10th 10 the 10Th. Heavy earth
currents of magnetism and electricity, an.
roral lights, seismic commissions and quick
ened volcanic activity are among the things
reasonably to be looked for about this time.
The regular storm period, centering on
the 18th and extending from the 18th 10 the
18th, will bring time of exceedingly IN
settled weather, with probability OF many
heavy and dangerous storms. In all cen.
trail, western and northern sections mingled
rain, snow and raw, depicting wind will
render It exceedingly hard and trying on
unsheltered live stock.
The last general storm period in the month
is central on the 9th, covering the 25th to
the 30th. As this period Is approached 1t
will turn phenomenally warm for the sea-
son.
Late snow and sleet will be most natural
northward. The month, In every proba.
bility, will reach ia close In the cold wave
at the end of these storms

The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal will re.
open for the summer coal season on March
10. It was the original intention to resume
traffic on the Sd instant, but the recent cold
weather resulted in general suspension Of
boat building and repairing. Most of the
canal traffic Is In the hands Of the Canal
Towage Company, which recently bought
the interests of many Of the shippers, some
OF whom have stock in the new concern.
The Consolidated Coal Company holds the
bulk OF the stock. 1t Is trying to control
the soft coal business Of the national capital
and Is installing in Georgetown modern de-
vices for unloading coal, involving an ex-
penditure of 100000.

forts to equip their schools, was
quite a success, and a pretty little
sum was realized, but it could and
should have been much larger had
our people turned out and made
it duty to help the school of the
Sisters, as well as they would do
for any other schools. We are
making every effort to advance
education in this town and parish,
and we should not forget the fact
that at least half of the children
of this town are attending the
schools of the Sisters.

OUR POLICE JURY.

TO run intelligently the affairs OF the
parish. thought perhaps they have done
their bes:, but they are not up to the
task, as a whole. some members may be
qualified. but they are in the minority"
The st. Martinville Messenger.
We refuse II side with the Mes
senger in thinking that the pre-
cent Police Jurors are incompe-
tent They are individuals of
much intelligence and concientiou-
ness and have shown beyond a
doubt that they are qualified to
gil their position. We refuse to
think that in fulfilling their du-
ties they are actuated by selfish
political motives. Whenever any
thing for the good of the parish
went to the present Police Jury to
be done, we think they did it with
promptness aud intelligence which
showed that they are the peers of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
In the same issue of the Valley
of-the- Teche, in the same column
and the first thing that followed
the above, is here reproduced in
the very words used by that paper:
Tho road between this town and La
fayette is dry. but fall OF deep holes.
The holes are not wide. bnt many of
them are nearly two feet deep. A few
have been stopped. but they have been
ever-6lled with dirt, which has made
them hills; and that does not remedy
the evil, Tor the holes are lust as bad
nov with their bottoms turned up. The
ground is dry and we do not see why
the roads msnder could not Ill all holes
and also work his grader"
We do not know If We must take
the remarks of the Valley serious
~ or as q little piece of sarcasm,
but, be it as it may, there is one
thing certain, aud that is that the
greenish road member is supposed
to be the employee of the police
jury of the Fourth ward, and the
work of that fellow who turns the
holes up side down is also suppo-
sed to be under the supervision oil
the police juror who employed
him.
Now. Brother Patin, would you
consider this work as reported by
you, the work of much intelligence
and consciousness?
We are of opinion that the in.
telligent member of the police
jury of that ward should bodily
fire that greenish road member who
goes to work to mend a road and
turns the bottoms up and make
little mounds of them, that is 90.
ing from one extreme to the other
instead of doing as suggested by
the Valley, filling the holes and
work the grader and make 9
smooth even road, that would be
displaying some intelligence and
consciousness.

Letter from President ]. l..
Ducrest.

Potter, La, April 18th, 1903.
Editor Messenger:
Owing to recent editorials in the
local papers and in justice to the
Police Jury of st. Martin Parish.
l would beg of you to kindly pub
lish the following in your columns:
l. For the first time in the his
tory of st. Martin Parish Jurors
have been paid in cash for their
services during the entire term to
this day by the present Police Ju-
ry.
2. The present Police Jury is
the first one meeting it's obliga-
tions in cash at the end of the fis-
cal year. Their warrants being
worth at that time dollar for dol
lar.
3. This is the first Police Jury
that have not spent money beyond
the budget appropriations and
thus kept themselves within the
law in that respect.
4. The old police jury only
gave $4,000 for schools. The
last year of its existence it appro-
priated 100000 for public schools
but failed to pay the money.to the
school board who now hold war
rant for the amount. The present
police jury gave 100000 to public
schools the first year of their sd.
ministration, 100000 the second
year and 100000 the third year
every cent of which is turned oyel
to the school board as fast as it is
collected.
5. The police jury believing
that it is their duty to maintain
public credit have from the begin.
ming of their administration sci
aside yearly certain sum of mon.
ey to pay the debts of the previous
administration some of which
were contracted without the sane.
ton of law.
6. The police jury uses the
road money exclusively for roads
the money is divided among the
different wards each police juror
supervising the roads of his WARD
is thus made responsible to hi.
constituents for the manner o.
spending the money on the roadt
of his ward.
Z. The police jury being com.
posed of public servants is opened
to investigation. 1t will take
pleasure in giving any information
regarding the management of an,
of its departments.
