About Oil.

Mr.. j. E. Trahan, whose plan
tation is only a few acres from
the Anse Labutte field, visited
Heywood's we'll Sunday evening
and was present when a large
stream of oil gushed to a height
of about twenty feet. Mr..
Trahan says that while he was
there forty barrels of pure oil
were taken out of the well.
Mr.. Trahan informed The Ga,
zette that a few days ago two
representatives of the Guffey'
Galley Company visited his place.
After driving around the men
left carrying a bottle of water
from the we'll, which. they seemed
to think, contained some oil.

LAFAYETTE REPUBLICANS

IAEA ErTE kEptB1-1CANS
Advise Voters to Keep Out of
Democratic Primaries.
j. II. Domengeaux, secretary
Of the Republican Parish Com
mittee, has requested The Ga
zette to publish the following:
Lafayette, La, July 20, 1908.
To the Republicans OF the
parish of Lafayette:-COn
ing the fact that the next cleo
ton is approaching, and from
advices received from the State
Central Com mittee that full
State and Parochial Republican
ticket will be submitted to the
voters of Louisiana at the gen
eral election of April 1904, the
Republicans of this parish are
hereby warned to not partlcl-
pate in any manner in the Demo-
cratic primaries soon to be
ordered.
Respectfully,
Gus. A. BREAUx,
Member State C'ntr I C'mmittee.
JOS. A. CHARGoIs,
Chairman Psh. FIX. Committee.
J,R. DOMENGEAUx,
Secretary Parish Com mittee.
1t would seem that the policy
of the Republican leaders is to
refrain from participation in
Democratic primaries with a
view of supporting a ticket NOM
mated by their own party. 1t is
understood that the Lily White
organization desires to make
some showing in the next State
election to strengthen it's posi-
ton with President Roosevelt,
and an effort will be made to
keep the Republican voters or
ganized until the election.
The Republican Executive
Committee of this parish is com
posed of the following: First
ward. Dr.. RI. D. Guidry, John
Price; second ward, John Nu-
gent, H. Hutchinson:t third ward,
John Vigneaux, Paul Castei:
fourth ward, "A. Primeaux, J. II.

neously stated that the young

in the Sand Near Eer'IIi-
lion Bay.
Two negroes, driving IL fine
team, came to Lafayette last
Monday and told a strange
story. They claimed to have
about 100000 Of Spanish gold in
their possession which they de-
sired to exchange for American
money. They said that they
found this gold in an old cannon
buried in the sand on the Yer
million coast, and that it was
with diviningrod that the
treasure was discovered. When
asked to produce a sample of
their money they replied that
they would not exhibit any of it,
unless they could arrange for a
deal, in which case it was their
intention to come here at night
with a large portion OF their
wealth. They were questioned
closely by a resident of La
fayette who is inclined to be-
lieve that if there is no truth in
the story the two negroes are
slick individuals who are trying
to unload gold brick on some
unsuspecting victim.
This story will doubtless have
the effect of reviving the inter-
est among the treasure-hunters
who have an unquestioning faith
in the occult powers OF the
divining-rOd.
Hon. Will Steitlley.
Hon. Will A. Steidley, of Lake
Charles, was in Lafayette Wed
nesday. Mr.. Steidley is making
a tour of the State in the inter
est of his candidacy for treas
urer. He has many friends
thrOu ghout the State who are
advocating his candidacy. He is
very popular with the newspa-
per people many of whom are
giving him warm support. Mr..
Steidley came here from Illinois
fifteen years ago. He has al
ways been a Democrat and while
a resident of the North he
fought many Il hopeless battle,
but defeat never weakened his
faith in Democracy. The South
has never had more loyal friends
than the Democrats of the
North. who, though in il minor
ity and with but little hope of
victory, never wavered in their
fealty to the white man 5 party
Even in the dark days, when the
yoke of Republican oppression
was most CALLING, the Northern
Democrats. under the splendid
leadership of Voorhees, OF In
diana, Randall Of Pennsylvania
and other men OF that type,
stood side by side with Southern
states men for the preservation
of con liberty. Should
the Democracy of Louisiana see
fit to honor Mr.. Steidley it will
recognize the merits Of one who
springs from that sturdy Demo
cratic stock which adhered to
the principles of free govern
ment in and out of season, and
without hope Of reward.

ENCOURAGING CROP REPORTS HAVE
LIvENING EFFECT ON BUSINESS.
Coll ections Are Good and Few Had
accounts Are Reported-PrOduce
and Grain Market.

Crop reports are generally more en-
couraging. and the great agricultural
country is in good healthy condition not
withstandiIg the fact that some of the
grain crops did not pan out in yield all that
was expected early I'm the season. The most
important interest upon which Others hinge
more or less is generally regarded as being
in good condition, and business Is better in
consequence. But little complaint in re-
gard to collections is heard. and they APP
pear to be fully up to If not better than the
average. Credit lines are being drawn more
closely every year. and there are few bad
accounts in consequence. The indications
are that the fall crops including corn, will
average much better than was predicted
thirty days ago. The -four market has
eesed up slightly. Some of the local job
bers have dropped prices from to
10 cents per barrel to effect large
sales. The fact that mill feed has stifYened
up somewhat is not without its effect in
weakening -four. When mill feed goes Off
milers have to increase the price of -four,
and when II advances, as Ii did last week,
the effect is the other way There is a
continued activity in the grocery line. and
while the demand is chiefly to supply inn

creassug volume. There is nothing new re-
ssrding canned goods. Fish are reported
scarce at Eastern ports and sardines are
firrner. The outlook for the coming year is
for higher prices on everything in the
canned goods line, the market now being
strong with an advancing tendency. Meats
are active and with the advent OF cooler
weather there will be a better market in
pure lard. Sugar-cured hams continue in
the lead with breakfast bacon Pure lard
is cheaper than it was year ago. There
Is not much change of late in the price of
hogs, being up little one day and down
as much the next. The future of the corn
market will have an important bearing on
hogs The supply of strictly fresh eggs is
extremely light. and there is not much
call for any other kind. People seem will

they want. Bad eggs are causing n great
deal of loss to the retail and whoiesaIe
dealers. There is better demand for
choice butter. and il il a shade higher
While the poultry trade is large youne
chickens are in good request, while the

While December Oats andSI'ro-

CHICAGO. Sept. 1.-Wheat was easy early
but closed firm at an advance OF ssqikc for
December Corn was strong, December
closing aG1zc higher. December oats were
UP Ac, with provisions sc to 12c higher.
Continued good weather in the Northwest,
together with easier cables, gave an easy
start to the wheat market, December open
ing hGEc lower at S1Ac There was lit
tie better feeling later with fair demand
from shorts, but free offerings by pit
traders kept prices down until the govern
ment Weather Bureau report was issued
when the early loss was recovered and
the market became firm. There was little
interest in the trading, which was the light
est experienced for several weeks. The
close was at the top, size for December, a
net gain of as@1kc. Clearances of wheat
and flour were equal to $4,000 bushels.
Bradstreet's worlds available showed an
increase of $1,000 bushels, against $4,000 last
week and 29Os,OOO a year ago. Primary
receipts were 11,000 bushels. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts of 345 cars,
which, with local receipts OF 136 cars-1 or
contract grade-made a total for the three
points of 4s1 cars. against 342 cars last week
The feature in the corn pit was the COW
ering in the September option by shorts
on predictions of cold weather West and
bullish government report. There was but
little corn on the market and that little
was quickly absorbed December closed
strong at an advance of sake at the high
point for the day-51Ac-having sold up with
few breaks from 50%G537sc, the opening
price. The cash demand continues good
with deliveries small. Local receipts were
$50 cars. with los of contract grade
Oats were quiet but firm. The strength
i'm corn with unfavorable crop reports helped
the market and the close showed gain i'm
December of &c at $3.50, after ranging be-
tween 362sQ36l1c. Local receipts were 225

Provisions were firm and at times showed
considerable strength. Hogs were steady

summary, as compiled by w. T. Blythe.
director of the Indiana section climate and
crop service of the Weather Bureau:
High temperature and dry weather
throughout the State during the first DAYS
of the week were followed, on Wednesday
TO Friday, by heavy rains in the north sec
ton, showers, generally copious and fairly
well distributed. in the central section, and
lighter. less evenly distributed showers i'm
the south section. The last days of the
week were cloudy and abnorma!ly cool
I'm some localities i'm the central section
and a few counties in the south section,
where precipitation during the week was
light or none at all, late corn needs rain.
but, generally, there is now sufficient mois-
ture in the ground to make the crop The
early corn is hardening and some little
has been cut, but. with the most favorable
weather. the bulk of the crop will not ma
ture until during the last half OF Septem-
Der. and some of il not before Oct. 10 to IS
Ii not injured by frost. fairly good crop
State, but in the south hall the crop will
be below normal
..HuIiing clover seed is under way with
varying results. the yield ranging from
very poor TO very good.
Late potatoes are fairly promising
Tomatoes are late and ripening slowly
Canneries are running, but not on full time
on sweet corn and tomatoes.
while some apple orchards promise a
full crop, the fruit is falling badly I'm many
places.
ground is generally in prime condition and
blowing is well advanced, but. on account
of damage to early sowu wheat by flies last
year. there will probably not be much seed
