DIX. ALFRED DUPERiER.

The ranks of our old landmarks
have again been invaded by that grim,
inevitable destroyer, Death. DR. Al
fred Duperier's death closes life of
activity and energy that left its inn
press upon the civilization Of this i'm
mediate neighborhood. Born and raised
in Iberia Parish, always III the front
rank of his profession during epidem-
les and popular stampedes, no progress
sive movement, affecting the interests
and status of the citizen, was ever
seriously considered without his adj
vice AID aid of his guiding spirit.
Having had, iii his youth, the best
advantages education could bestow and
encourage could instill, he became a
great student of questions Of political
economy and popular government and
mastered with scientific precision and
accuracy the intricacies of the great
paramount questions of the relation of
the citizen to his government. At no
time, during his long, useful and
busy career can he be accused Of dem
agoguery or practicing the deceptive
arts of hypocracy. By nature frank
and candid, by temperament born
fighter, brave, fearless and magnani-
nous, by instinct foe to stealth and
cupidity, his friends as well as his
enemies could always unerringly locate
his stand and position Oh public mat
tiers of the community and political
controversies Of the State As a man
of pronounced convictions and aggres
sive temper he naturally made implac-
able enemies but mere numerous,
staunch, admiring, answering friends,
A life long republican, understanding
thoroughly the needs of the tagging
industrial interests of our State, he
was devoted follower of the doctrine
of protection for the industrial activi-
ties of the nation and the inalienable
rights of the citizen. Firmly con-
WINGED of the wisdom of that policy
by the amazing results of its operation
and the marvellous strides of the
United States in the race for CONNER
cial supremacy, he was pillar OF
strength and beacon of light to the
local republican fraternity. Long
after the vines and the MOSES shall
have hidden his last earthly remains
and vie with each other to protect
from father Time the doom of obliv-
ion assigned to each earthly soul, his
name will ever inspire confidence in
mans abilities and success Requiem

INDIGESTION Causes
Catarrh Of the.
Stomach.

For many years II he's been supposed that
Catarrh Of tho Stomach CAUSED Indigestion
md dyspepsia, but the truth Is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Re-
peated attacks Of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves Of the stomach, thus caus-
Ing tho glands to secsete mucin instead Of
tho juices Of natural digestion. This Is
called Catarrh Of the Stomach.

in Washington at 1915 O'clock.

st. Louis, Special.-Representing a
larger expenditure than any similar
enterprise heretofore attempted on
this continent, greater in its ambition,
and larger in its scope than any pre-
yious effort of it's kind, the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition was formally op-
ened Saturday afternoon. The inau-
gural exercises could hardly have been
improved upon. They were simple
and were carried through without de-
lay of any description.
President Pressed the Button.
Washington Special. - President
Roosevelt pressed the gold key which
completed the electrical circuit and
released the gigantic power Of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis, putting in motion the 4O,oO0-
horse power machinery and the fairy
like cascades in the grounds. The
ceremony occurred in the East Room
of the White House, precisely at LA
IL o'clock, Eastern standard time. AS
the President pressed the key the
third battery of United States artll-
lery, stationed south of the White
House, fired a salute Of twenty-one
guns. Congratulatory messages then
were exchanged between the Presi-
dent and David R. Francis, president
of the Exposition Company. The his
toric ceremony was witnessed by a
notable assemblage, including mem
bers of the cabinet, justices OF the
Supreme Court, and members of the
diplomatic corps. Three Geographic
circuits between the East Room and
the administration building OF the Ex-
position were provided by the Postal
Telegraph Company.
The table which supported the tele-
graph instruments was located in the
East Room. On it rested a small
dais covered with blue and gold plush,
to the top of which was attached the
gold key with which the President
closed the circuit. The same dals
and the same key have been used ON
several similar occasions.
