En MeHaa0riasaa.

Mrs. Sol Loeb, the subject Of this
brief notice, was a native of Ger.
many, but was reared In the city
OF New Orleans, where at her ar
rival at the age OF full maturity,
she was married to Solomon Loeb,
a prominent business man of this
town, who with her association
as a helpmate had not only en-
deared himself aud her to the COM
munity in which they lived but
to the entire citizenship of the par
ish OF St. Landry. Mrs. Loeb was
one of those lovable individual
tiles whose sweet and unpresum-
ing life not only cast halo of sum
SHINE on the pathway of those
around her, but is left as a legacy
to the dear ones behind which
scarcely can be emulated to its just
extent. She was not only woman
OF rare attainments but one OF
those Christian characters who the
the longer she lived the more she
was loved and and admired. The
writer of this rude sketch is one
who has every reason to euligize
her, and the extent of his effort
in that respect Is only limited by
his knowledge of her nature.
Hence, we say that she was one of
those beings who was forgetful of
self in her interest in others; bat
as long as we live the memory of
her will survive and be cherished.
She leaves seven children whose
prominence and social attachments
is only exceeded by their anguish
at her demise. Her funeral was
one of the largest which has taken
place here in years.
TO her children-Three sons
Aaron, Edward, Dave, and her
daughters, Mrs. j. Frankel, Regi-
ma, Fannie and Mattye, the Clar-
on extends its hearsfelt condo
lence.

New Rifle for alae Army,

The United States government has
decided to exchange the rife with
which the army is accoutered from
the Krag-Jorgensen to Springfield.
The decision was reached after a
long series of tests by special
board appointed for the purpose bv
the Ordinance Department. The
department. accepted the report,
which virtually closes the matter,
although it yet has to have the
approval Of the General Staff and
War Department. Both branches
of the service, that is, the cavalry
and Infantry, will be armed with
the new Springfield rifles, and not
different kinds. as they are at
present. The weapon just adopted
will be but seven pounds in weight,
whereas the Krags now in use
weigh nearly nine pounds. The
discarded Krag rifles will, as soon
as they are replaced by the Spring
fields, be given the States for the
purpose of arming the militia.

". S. FR4ZEE.

The Clarion takes pleasure in
formally announcing the candi
dacy OF Hon. w. S. Frazee, for re-
election to the office of Auditor of
Public Accounts of the State OF
Louisiana.
Mr.. Frazes il a st. Landry man,
and ST. Landrians are proud OF
him, and we venture to say that
| the votes he will lose in the par
ish would not elect q ward con-
stable in VIM parish.
His record as a lawyer, superin-
tendent Of public schools and sher-
iff of ST. Landry parish, aud now
rs Auditor OF the great State Of
Louisiana, has marked him as a
man of unusual ability, integrity
and punctaaIity. As lawyer he
ranked with the best; as . school
superintendent he managed affairs
satisfactorily to patrons and
teachers; as sheriff, he hit the top
notch in the collection of taxes and
management of the office; and now
as Auditor lie is conceded to be the
best the State has erer had. lie has
advanced the record Of that de-
partment higher than heretofors,
and the office is considered the
best managed in the State house.
AS President OF the Board OF
Appraisers, and member OF the
Pension Commission, he has served
most acceptably.
Mr.. Frazse is . true and VAL
liable friend to public education,
and the children throughout the
State to-day feel the effects OF his
labor and attention to that im-
portant branch of the government,
for it was he who in 1901 first
called the attention of the parish
to the financial
condition OF the State, urging
them to take action to secure an
increase to the current school
fund, which he followed up with y
recommendation In his last report,
which resulted in S10e, 1000 in
crease of that fund.
During the last campaign he
was recognized as the star speaker
of the campaign party which
stnmped the State in behalf of the
Democratic ticket.
He is a Democrat OF the old
school, never having voted any
thing but Democratic ticket in
his life.
It is confidently expected by his
friends that he will have no trou-
BILE in being elected.

Editor ST. LANDRY CLARION
Being one of the many young
Democrats who will exercise his
prerogative at the coming election,
and appreciating the fact that the
essential qualifications for ward
constable are honesty, bravery and
energy, I would conscientiously
submit the name of our young fell
low citizen, Mr.. j. P. Trosclair, OF
of South Side. Assuring him the
undivided support of the old party,
which means that the historical
rooster will crow for him when
the votes are counted,

DIR. Stubbs, Of Audubon Park
Experiment station, at New Or
leans, claims that the boil
weevils found in the cotton
there were placed there by hu-
man hands, and cites numerous
facts to sustain that opinion. This
nefarious act is construed as part
Of the scheme OF speculation to
bull the cotton market. II boil
weevils attack the cotton east OF
the Mississippi, then prices will be
maintained until the manipulators
of the corner can unload at an
enormous profit. DIR. Stubbs is
said to be busily engaged in an at
tempt to locate the parties guilty
of sowing boil weevils in his sta
tion cotton plats.
