Special rleetiDg Parish Medical
Association.

The Parish Medical Association
held a special meeting Saturday
to consider ways and means of
entertaining the State Medical
Association, which will meet in
Lafayette in Nay, 1904, with DR..
J. P. Francez in the chair, DR.. F.
E. Girard secretary, and a good
attendance present. After a full
discussion of the question, it was
decided to appoint two commit
tees for preliminary work, the
two committees to report at a
meeting called for the first Satur-
day in September. Drs. F. r.
Tolson, F. E. Girard and J. F.
Mouton were put on a committee
to interview the citizens in regard
to receiving the visitors in their
homes. Drs. F. J. Mayer, F. e.
Girard and j. r. Mouton were
placed upon the second commit
tee to see the City Council, Police
Jury and Business Mems Asso-
citation for the purpose of secur-
ing their cooperation.
It is hoped that the citizens
generally, and the above bodies
will give these committees every
assistance and encouragement,
for there is nothing calculated to
be of more benefit to a town, or to
give it wider and more substan-
tial advertising than conventions
of different kinds. New Orleans
recognizes this, and because of
it's efforts to secure them and it's
success in so doing, has become
known far and wide as the con
yention city. This convention has
come to Lafayette almost without
solicitation on our part, and we
feel confident that Lafayette will
live up to it's high reputation and
show these visiting gentlemen
the extra fine brand of hospitality
that Lafayette always has on
hand.

Fine Prospects.

Lafayette parish certainly has
cause for congratulation upon it's
fine outlook for q most excellent
crop. Cotton and corn are es-
pecially well grown and fruited,
and there is every reason to be-
lieve, unless some unforeseen con-
dition arises, that the biggest
corn crop for years will be har-
vested. Cane is not as well ad-
vanced as the other two staples,
but without any setback it will
yield heavily and be most salts
factory. With good prices for
cotton, which is almost a GER
tainty, this parish will enjoy un-
exampled prosperity next year.

Is Found.

no tidings CT the missing Edward L.
Wentz. son OF the Philadelphia million
aire
II was decided to make a thorough
search of the eastern Kentucky noun
tains. A party crossed the State line
and began search.
Although the parents Of Wentz are in
clined to take the hopeful view that the
payment OF ransom will bring back
their son, the theory of murder is well
founded
j. NJ. Steele. a merchant OF Apalachia,
a mining village near the spot where
Wentz was last seen, says that he was
taken probably by moonshiners. who a
few months ago murdered Chief of
Police King. of Stonega. the town where
is located the largest coke plant of the
Wentzes.
The Wentz brothers. il is said. sent
King after a band of moonshiners that
had been sending Illicit whisky to
Stonega. causing intoxication among the
employees Of the Virginia Coal and Iron
Company.
Following the battle against the moon
hiners, which resulted in the death OF
their leader: the outlaws were bitter
against the company.

Majority.

NEW YORK. Oct. PA local paper
today Announces that it has canvassed
with trained directory men more than
one-thirteenth OF the electors Of the
greater city. and that Seth Lows cleo
ton as mayor is indicated By a small
majority. The total vote canvassed in
four days was 46. lg7. of which q. 49, were
for Low and 22.715 for Mcclellan. The
same proportion throughout the whole
city would elect Low by 10000 majority.

than 10000. OF the persons seen by
the canvassers 1.74s declared that they
are Democrats and will vote for Low,
while SIS Republicans announced that
they would vote for Mcclellan.
Mayor Low is favorite in the Wall
Street betting at odds Of 10 to s. with
Mcclellan money becoming difficult TO
find. Fusion supporters who have money
TO bet are largely in evidence on the
curb. and are taking all the McClel-
