MONSTER PANTHER SHOT.
Measured Nine Feet and Four Inches in Length and Had Been a
 Vicious Beast.

The largest panther ever killed in Nevada county, Cal, measuring nine feet and four inches in length, was put to death on Scotchman creek, near Washington, by Benjamin and Emmett Mccullough not long ago. The men, while hunting, came upon fine buck reposing in small open space. A moment after a monster panther was seen about ten feet from the stag, crouching and ready to spring. One of the hunters shot at the panther just as it leaped and the beast rolled over on it's back Only for moment, how ever, for it was on it's feet in an instant and started for the men. As the beast advanced they kept their rifles going,

THE ARIsTocRATIc SHOPPING STREET.

whole year on the Shanghai calendar is the spring races, which take place about the first of May. They mark the close of the winter and the approach of the much-dreaded summer. Nine tenths of the ponies raced are bred north of Picking, and it would be diff cult to find anyone who is not interest ed in some way in the events as it would be to find bank clerk who did not own, if not all, at least quarter share in one of the uncertain tempered, tough little Tartar-bred racers.
 Before the opening of the races every incoming coast steamer is crowded with visitors from all parts of China, coming to spend their yearly holiday amidst the whirl of pleasures and ex- citement of the race week. After the races those more fortunate board their comfortable house boats to sail up some creek and cruise among the hills and lakes at it's source, while oth- CTS take themselves back to their la- bor, to await the coming of the next race week.
 Cosmopolitanism may be found in other cities of China. The English rule Hong-Kong, and foreigners of all na- tions are to be found upon its streets. Canton, New Chwang, Port Arthur, and even Peking itself have their quota of foreigners. But few years more and these cities will present as cosmo- politan an appearance as New York, London, Paris or any other cities of Europe or America.

Cosmopolitan cities exist the world over, the population of the larger cities of every country on the globe being more or less of a mixed charac- ter.

Shanghai may be numbered in the aforementioned class, and it's great charm lies in it's constant sudden

Its claws were worn short from travelling over the rocky hills. Its skin, however, was soft and glossy. On many occasions the tracks of the panther have been followed in an effort to find the den of the beast, and several times members of hunting parties have caught gIimpses of the animal. Sheep and live stock have suf- fered fran it's depredations.

The prediction, in effect, was that the German empire would be restored some day, but would come to an end with the third emperor. The kaiser is the third, and hence his alleged un- easiness.--London Mail.

Was Organized at Court
House Saturday.
CHARTER WAS ADOPTED
Is Composed of Merchants ard
Farmers, the Professions and
Capitalists.

AT the appointed hour Saturday
evening some twenty or thirty Of
the the. progressive business and
professional men of Winnfield
assembled at the courthouse anti
proceeded to orgonize the Winn-
field Business League, which has
or its object the development of
Winn parish. There were rep
resented at this meeting all the
interests of the parish, including
mill men. merchants, farmers,
the professions and capitalists.
1t was harmonious throughout
and but little time was required TO
form an organization. An
agreement or charter was adopted
setting forth the objects and pur-
poses of the League and nearly
every one present signed the doc
ument. 1t is now being circu-
lated for others to sign who desire
to do so and were not present at
the organization, and as soon as
it is signed sufficiently it will be
published.
The League is formed along the
same line as the Progressive Union
of New Orleans which has done
andis doing such noble work for
the Development of New Orleans
and South Louisiana. 1t is to be
controlled On the business pre-
sided over by a board Of directors
consisting of seventeen members
who will be elected by the entire
membership. A general manager
will be slected by this board and
1t will be his duty to hustle for
the upbulldlng OF our parish.
After the organization DR.. j. j.
Peters was honored with the
permanent presidency of the
League and the balance of the
directorate will be called soon rs
the charter can be shown to those
who would likely become mem-
bers of the League and sufii-
cient number of slgners secured
to make the organization sutfi-
GENTLY large to begin work. No
definite plans have been outlined
as yet, but soon as a board of di-
rectors is secured active oper-
ations will be inaugurated for a
greater developement of Winn
parish. Let's all take holt now
and make our parish what it
should be, the foremost and most
progressive in North Louisiana.
