The chicken law is up, as the hunt
ers say. That is, after Dec. and
until the following Sept. l, no one is
allowed to kill prairie chickens. All
true and worthy hunters obey the law.
II the law were not obeyed prairie
chickens would be exterminated in a
few years. We presume the time is
not far distant anyway when they will
be known only by the few mounted
specimens in the museums. In east
ern Iowa they are practically gone.
They do not tame. They belong to
the free range, the unbroken prairie
and the waving wild grass.

CONGRESSMAN Walter l. Smith was
appointed as a member of the Appro-
priations Committee of the house and
all Iowa is congratulating him on his
good luck. Appropriations is con-
sidered the second great committee of
Congress, Ways and Means being
first, but in many respects the former
is fully equal in Importance to the
latter. Speaker:Cannon became chair
man of Appropriations and attained
to the speakership from that place of
vantage. The positions on these
great committees are eagerly sought
and Judge Smith is surely fortunate
in secureng such a place so soon after
entering congress. II is another in
dication that he will attain great
distinction and influence If he remains
there through series of years.

And now comes another railroad
manager President Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, and prohibits their
employees from using Intoxicating
liquors while on or of duty. Rail-
road men have use for steady nerves
in their important and trusty work.
The same good rule is applicable in
other lines of work and business.

FIX Mayor John MaeY!car and the

ing the mayorality campaign in Dies
Moines one OF the hottest it has ever
been. Politics RACES down in Polk
county with vehemence and turbulent
that makes ones head whirl,
They are not out OF one campaign till
they are in another. 1t is the vortex
for the political powers of the state to
Swirl around in, and then there is
added to the whirlpool the big energy
of all their own local contests.

Good Effect of Enforcing
Vagrant Law.

Commenting upon a suggestion
in The American last week that
the police department institute a
reform by arresting negro Migrants
and putting them to work clean
ing up the streets the Monroe
Evening News says: Monroe po-
lice have been enforcing the va
grant law and as aresult pretty
fair gang of negroes have been
kept busy at street work, but a
more strict enforcement of the law
would considerably enlarge the
force. There are many idle me-
groes both men and women, in
Monroe. They are fed by the ne
groes who do work, or make their
living by stealing. Idleness is a
breeder of crime and unless these
idle negroes are put to work and
kept at work crime here will in
crease. There are a number of
white families who want cooks and
wash women. They are willing to
pay good prices for work yet are
unable to get negro women to
work. A more rigid enforcement
of the vagrant law should be ap-
Piled" The solution of the SER
want problem is always found in
this way. There was time in
Meridian when it was next to i'm
possible to hire negro to do COM
mon labor. They fed from the
pals of cooks. But when the po-
lice under the pressure of the
newspaper and public opinion be-
gun to arrest the male loafers and
put then to work, there was not on
ly saving to the white mans ia
BILE. but mills and contractors were
able to employ plenty of laborers
and the city in six weeks was look
ing like it had been swept with a
new broom. The opportunity is
here for Vicksburg to emulate a
worthy example--Vicksburg Amer
can.

OIL IN ST. MARTIN.

Our representative visited the
Bayou Bouillon Oil fields this week
and had the good fortune to wit
ness the striking of a good flow of
oil from the well now being deve-
.loped by the Company of Messrs.
Sam Shelburne, Geo. Knight,
Scott Kelso, Z. A. Davis, Robert
Martin and DR.. Martin, all of st.
Martin Parish. This well is man
aged, and the work done by the
members of the company who own
their own plant, and who covered
with mud and grease are working
like trojans in the attempt to de-
velop their holdings. The first
we'll of their individual operations
was commenced Monday at IL NJ,
with a first class drilling outfit
costing some $500, with two ex-
pert oil men from the Jennings
field to direct the work. Wednes-
day at II NJ, $50 feet of 4 inch
pipe had been put down, the last
twenty five feet being through a
very stiff blue mass intersDersed
with fine red streaks called by the
drillers gumbo latter this about
five feet of coarse blush sand with
specks of black and red, while 60
ing through this. a fine flow of oil
was reached as good flow, one of
the drillers remarked HIS he ever
saw. Immediately operations were
suspended, and the four inch pipe
removed and six inch casing was
being put in and anchored, after
which the we'll will be bailed and
developed. Much enthusiasm pre-
vailed when the precious fluid was
discovered, and the boys who have
so untiringly and persistently
worked to attain the result, have
received their reward. The Com
pany controls some 5000 acres of
land adjoining this well, which
gives strong indications of oil over
the entire tract. For some two
years, these men have pursued
their labors with persistent cour-
age that nothing could chill and
courage that would take no denial
and We congratulate them on their
victory, and on the establishment
of an assured field that borders for
miles a waterway upon which they
can float their product to all the
plantations or to New Orleans, or
to the great west all by water
route, the cheapest in the world
and which no one can monopolize.
Our representative was treated
with courtesy and hospitality. The
camp dinner was one keenly en-
joyed by an appetite engendered
by 20 mile ride in the gasoline
launch Hattie, over the numerous
lakes and bayous which intersect
this region. Mr.. F. Gath, the eff
cient agent of the Trellue Lumber
Co., had charge of the Launch and
to whom the party was indebted
for courtesies. Mr.. Fernand Mes
tayel took the helm and piloted us
to and from the place with the
skill of veteran. The party con-
sisted of Mesrs. JOS. G.. Landes.
John L. White, N. P. Hacker and
those having the launch in charge. |

NATIONAL REPOSITORIES.
Senator Aldrich Has Measure to Al
low Banks More leeWay.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator AL
drich, today. introduced a bill authoriz-
ing banks which are national depoSito-
ries to deposit for the safeguarding Of
the government other securities than
government bonds. The intention of the
bill is to give greater elasticity of the
currency and to permit of the release
of larger amounts of the governments
funds in times of stringency. The bill
provides for the deposit, besides gov
ernment bonds, of state bonds, munic-
ipal bonds of cities of 100000 popula-
ton which have been in existence for
% years and which have not defaulted
on any Of their debts. and the first
mortgage bonds of any railroad COM
pany which has paid dividends of nos
less than 4 per cent. for 10 years.
The secretary of the treasury is given
authority to determine the proportion
of these various securities that he will
accept and also to at any time require
additional security. The banks are re-
quired to nay interest on the govern
ment funds in their keeping a a rate
of not less than ~ per cent, and the
deposits are payable on demand. The
bin also makes the bonds to be issued
on account of the Panama Canal elig1-
BILE as security for bank notes. The
payment of Il per cent. every six
months on such Of its notes as are
based on the canal bonds, is also re-
quired.
Another provision of the bill author
ICES the secretary of the treasury to re-
tain in the general fund of the treas
1rv national bank notes received in tine
ordinary course in business or present
ed to the treasurer of the United States
and pay out such of them as may be
fit for circulation for any of the obli-
ga tions of the government, excepting
only the principal and interest on the
public debt.

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Interest
Catarrh Sufferers.

In it's earlier stages catarrh is more
of a nuisance than a menace to the
general health. but sooner or later, the
disease extends to the throat. bronchial
tubes and even to the stomach and in
es,lnes
Catarrh is essentially a disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being a profuse discharge of mucus.
stoppage of the nostrils. irritation in
throat, causing coughing, sneezins.
gagging and frequent clearings Of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by local DOUGH-
es. snuffs. salves, etc, often gives tenn
porary relief, but anything like a cure
can only be obtained by a treatment
which removes the catarrhal faint from
the blood and the disappearance of the
Inflammation from the mucous sur
faces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
quirements and which so far has been
remarkably successful in curing ca
tarrh is Stuart'S Catarrn Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only They can
hardly be called a secret patent medi~
cine as they are composed of such val
liable remedies as Blood root. Hydras-
tin, Red Gum and similar cleansing an
tiseptics. which cure by eliminating
from the blood and mucous surfaces
the catarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large.
pleasant tasting lozenses taken intern
ally. allowing them to dissolve slowly
in the mouth, in this way they reach
the throat, fauees and the entire all
meItary canal.
If desired, they may also be dissolved
in water and used as douche, in adj
dition to the internal use. but it is no.
at all necessary to use douche; few
of them dissolved in the mouth daily
will be sufficient However, when
there is much stoppage of the nose, q
douche made from these tablets will
give immediate relief. but the regular
daily use internally of these tablets
viu e,,re the whole catarrhal trouble
without rescrting to the inconvenience
of q douche.
DR.. Bement states that the internal
treatment for catarrl is rapidly taking
the rlace of the old plan of douching
and loca, application and further says
that probably the best and certainly
the safest remedy at present on the
market is Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, as
no secret IS made of their composition
and all the really efficient remedies for
catarrn are contained in this tablet.
Druggists sell stuart's catarrh Tab
lets at fiftv cents for full sized pack
ages. Ask your Druggist and if he is
honest he will tell you there is no safe,
| more palatable more @ft'ciens AMI con-
yenient remedy on the market. Feb.

THE PRESIDENT
Has Conference With the Leading Men
on the Leading Subjects.

Washington, Feb. 9.-President
Roosevelt had a conference at the
White House, tonight, with a number
of the leading members of the House
of Representative for the purpose of
discussing trust legislation. The men,
bers present included Chairman Cam
non of the approximation committee,
Messrs. Payne. Dalzell and Grosvenor
of the ways and means committee, and
Messrs. Jenkins. Powers of Massachu-
sets. and Overstreet of the judiciary
committee.
Consideration was given to the de-
partment of commerce bill as agreed on
by the congressional conference and to
the Elkins railroad bill as well as to
the Littlefield antitrust measure just
passed by the House.
Reference was made to the publicity
features of the new department of
commerce bill and to the fact that the
Elkins measure contains so far as rail-
roads are concerned the prohibtory
provisions as to rebates and discrimin-
ations
