Weather with falling prices in cattle
at the markets seemed to put all
notion of buying stock out of the

help matters wonderfully We
caught few sales:
JTao Brown sold 80 pick year

about 600 pounds.

HORSES AND MULES.
Very few mules on the market
and no large ones in the offering.
SoAe 15-hand mare mules sold at
$2od per pair; 1915 was refused for
a pair of 154 mules; small mules at
800 to 800. Horses were brisk
and a good many sold. HARRISON

FIRE CAUSED PANIC
AMONG HOTEL GUESTS

NEW YORK, Sept lG-The old Ma
tional Broadway bank, at Broadway
and Park Place, caught fire from "a
mysterious explosion about , O'Clock
this morning \ moment later flames
burst out in the elevator shaft and
quickly spread from the main floor to
the roof. Enoch Harris, the janitor,
and his wife were asleep on the top
floor when the fire started Harris
took his wife down to the fourth floor
and with her then slid down chain
to the roof of building on Park
Place, from which place they were
rescued by the police.
Within a stones throw of the burn.
ing buildings were stores Of Pain 5
fireworks and the Unexcelled Fire
works company, hut the fire was con,
fined to the Old bank building.
The fire caused panic among the
guests of the Astor House, block
away, who ran into the street in night
attire. Most Of the damages resulting
from the blaze are distributed among
a dozen or more firms which had offices
in the building The Broadway bank
was moved out Of the building some
time ago.

The Conquest of silence.

Washington never made q speech.
In the zenith of his fame he once at
tempted it, failed, and gave it up con-
fused and abashed. In framing the
Constitution of the United States the
labor was almost wholly performed in
committee OF the whole, in which
George Washington was day after
day chairman, and he made but two
speeches during the convention, of a
few words each, something like one oil
Grants speeches. The convention,
however, acknowledged the master
spirit, and historians affirm that had
it not been for his personal popularity
and the thirty words Of his first
speech, pronouncing it the best that
could be united upon, the constitution
would have been rejected by the peo-
pie. Thomas Jefferson never made a
speech. He could not do it. Napol.
con, whose executive ability is almost
without a parallel, said his greatest
difficulty was finding men of deeds
rather than words. When asked how
he maintained his influence upon his
superior in age and experience, when
commander and chief of an army in
Italy, he said, by reserve. Thegreat.
ness OF Il man is not measured by the
length of his speeches and their num-
ber.-Ex.

Horse With a Glass Eye.

Ruston can boast of something in
the way of horse surgery that can
hardly be found anywhere else in
North Louisiana, and that is q horse
with an artificial glass eye. Some
time ago a fine saddle horse, the
property of Mr.. Marshal Terrell, met
with the misfortune of losing an eye,
the organ gouged out by striking
some projection while running around
the lot, the ball broken and almost
torn from the socket. This marred
the looks of the animal, in which Mr..
Terrell took great pride, and learning
that artificial eyes could be procured
for horses as well as for human beings,
he had the torn eye amputated and
at once made an order for the glass
eye, describing the color Of the remain
ing orb as near as possible, and in
due time it arrived and when fitted
into the vacant socket it restored the
appearance of the animal, matching
thegood eyeso perfectly thatit would
not be detected byap ersonnotaware
of it's existence.-Ruston Leader.

Active Railroad Work.

We were pleased this week to meet
Major Poindexter Dunn, the affable
and popular attorney and right OF
way agent of the Louisiana Railway
and Navigation Company, who spent
Tuesday and part of Wednesday in
Colfax, looking after the interests Of
his company. He informs us that he
has about completed the securing of
rights of way to Baton Rouge, and
that building of the railroad to that
city is being pushed right ahead. He
expects to put III the time from now
on getting rights OF way between
Baton Rouge and New Orleans. The
rights OF way secured from Angola to
Baton Rouge are from $50 to 200
feet wide, instead of the usual 100
feet secured in this section. This in
creased width is being obtained with
the view of building q double track
from Angola southwark. Heexpects
to obtain $50 and 200 feet all the
way from Baton Rouge to New Or
leans, this increase being necessary
for the switches, sidings, etc., of the
contemplated double track. He in
forms us that this double track from
Angola to New Orleans has become
the settled policy OF his company,
the combination with two or three
other railway systems now being no
longer secret, and the double track
is necessary to meet the big traffic
thus assured.
Major Dunn went up the line on
Wednesday to attend to some mat
tiers, but will return at once and enter
the Baton Rouge and New Orleans
territory, as it is desired to hasten
the completion of the road between
these cities to the earliest date posi-
BILE. just at this time his company
has some very important matters
pending before the New Orleans city
council, in the way of securing termi-
nal facilities. As the ultimate object
of the entry into New Orleans is the
connection with an ocean steamship
line, this matter is of the gravest i'm
port, and the officials of the Louisi-
ana Railway and Navigation Co. are
all giving it their undivided attention
at this time. We hope the city au-
thorities will be liberal in their con-
cessions to this railroad, which is so
thoroughly identified with such o
large portion of the State, and not
only is midland route throughout
it's entire length, but will serve as u
connecting link by which several 9TH
er great railway systems will pour
their wealth of traffic into the city's
Ian.
