OUR NEEDS.

'Slre 6eCtfCD rs mostly from tue
agricultural districts, and lumber,
1.-The success of every commercial
interest as we'll as the success of
every profession depends upon the
result of our crops and upon the.
thigh water that will permit the
saoating Of cypress lumber. These
two sources of supply TO maintain
sthe business activity of the town
sare to an extent, uncertain.
Small industries are what are
needed to support towns, and that
rs what we need in st. Martinville.
Under our present conditions we
have to buy everything that we
need, it is a constant drain on the
money produced by our crops and
timber, during the whole Of the
year we send away money, we
,draw from the outside nothing, we
lproduce or manufacture nothing,
therefore, outside of our timber
sand crops we have no other means
of drawing outside money to US,
we have not even the means of
Keeping our money ct home to
Keep our own people employed. If
we had the snaR industries we
woald keep our people employed
,and we would spend our money at
Aome'and when our home people
Would bsve employment all the
Sesr, they would spend that money
~ home and keep our trade, OUT
business lively an the time, and
make II more profitable than it is
now. 1t is the small industries
that keep your own money at home
and draw 10 you outside money
that make the town business-hke
and prosperous, and until we
come to the realization Of that
fact. We shall not increase oar
business much more than it is at
*le present time.
'vepsed a sash. door and blind
factory, ne need q smsil foundry
and machine shop. we need q
'stesp laandry, we need a steam
brick factory. we need a steam
barrel factory, We need an ice fac
tory, we need several smsA other
industries, such as syrup fscto-
ny, canning factory etc., these {sc-
tories could easily be put up if
our people would only take an &C.
tive interest in them. We also
needa good base ball ground and
q good race track, we mast have
outside Of business attractions
that win draw people to us. base
ball and races are attractions that
are popular and always draw the
crowds, and every town should be
we'll provided ia that line.
We have all around US thousand
upon thousands of acres of wood
hands with an unlimited variety of
hard woods which could be manu.
featured into thousands of articles
which we buy from other states,
and we could make such indus
tries pay handsome retarns.
Our resources are numerous and
unlimited in supply, if we could
only turn our attention to them,
build small factories of every kind
st. Martinville will soon be full
of commercial greatness and bust
ness activity, as only few towns in |
this state could do, as very few
towns are surrounded by undeve-
Hoped resources as we are.
We can have all these small in
dustries il we want them, and it is
10 such that we should turn our
attention.

BIG MOVEMENT At HAND
ZAP CAMPAIGN APPROACHING
ANOTHER CLIMAX At
SOME POINT.

Washington, July H. It Is suspect
Cd here that the Japanese campaign in
Manchuria and especially in the direc-
ton of Port Arthur is approaching an
other one of such climaxes as marked
the passage of the Yalu. Minister
Griscom, at Toxic, has cabled the
state department as follows:
1T is announced from headquarters
Of the general staff that foreign mill
tary attaches who have been assigned
to accompany the Second army may go
to the front on the goth inst. Press
correspondents day later"
1t is recalled that the Japanese gen.
eral staff have permitted the newspa-
per correspondents and attaches to go
to the front at such moments as ini-
tiated the delivery of great and care
fully planned blow against the enemy.

SERIES OF SKlRMISHES.
Russian Report Of the Fighting Near
Kaichou.

St. Petersburg, July 12.-Details OF
the Russian retirement from Kaichou,
which is hailed as a great victory at
Toxic. show, according to the official
report of Lieutenant General Sakhar-
off, commander of the Eastern ar1ny,
that it was little more than a series
of skirmishes. The Russian losses
were about 200 men. The Toxic re-
port that ten guns were captured is
unfounded. The Russians retired in
perfect order before General Oku's
army, consisting of four divisions.
General Oku's advance continues.
His main force, which the general staff
believes to be almost $4,000 strong,
was Sunday about five miles north of
kaichou. The skirmishes were about
three miles further north. The jap
anese cavalry is proceeding to New
chwang and a heavy Japanese force
is converging upon Siadiamaf, half
way to Tatchekiao on the Siuyen road.
The sentiment of the general staff
foreshows all engagement at Paicheng.
The admiralty has no confirmation
of the reported activity of the Port Ar
thur squadron. Nevertheless there is
excellent ground for believing that it
has gone out of Port Arthur. The
Vladivostok squadron is also at sea.

st. Petersburg, July 12.-General
kuropatkin, according to private ad-
vices from the front, will not make a
serious attempt to hold Tatchekiao,
above Kaichou, midway between that
place and Haicheng and where the
railroad connects with the branch from
Newchwang. Developments of the JAP

seem to be forcing a Russian concen-
tration between Haicheng and Lao

MAY TIE UP PACKERS.
Strike Involving Forty Thousand Men
Probable.

Chicago, July ia general strike
Involving 10000 union men engaged in
the packing industry in the nine big
packing centers of the country is I'M
derstood to be imminent.
Negotiations between the officials of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen of America and
the big packing firms have been brok
en- off and the unionists of Chicago
will meet shortly to vote on strike.
President Michael Donnelly of the
Amalgamated Meat Cutters said that
in case the packing councils decide
at it's meeting to reject the terms of
the packers there would be strike.
The packers have taken firm stand
against the demands of the unionists
as to wages and working conditions
and have refused to enter into an
agreement for common laborers, stand
ing for an open shop as far as this
class of unskilled labor is concerned.
AS regards the laborers in the cutting,
loading and shipping departments the
packers have offered 17k cents an
hour. The original demand was for
20 cents, but this was modified to 1871
cents per hour.

FIGHTING NEAR PORT ARTHUR.
Local Newspaper Prints Account Of
the Operations.

Chefoo, July 12.-The Port Arthur
Now Krai of July 7, copy of which
has just reached Chefoo, contains an
account of the operations around Port
Arthur from July 3 to July s. 1t
says:
Heavy fighting has occurred be-
the Japanese The results are not an
nounced. Nevertheless, little at a
time, the facts are becoming known.
Our side sent scouts to ascertain the
position and strength of the enemy
and whether they were protected by
trenches. It was impossible to find
out the exact strength Of the Japan
csc, but they do not number less than
10000. The Chinese credit them with
10000. Thirty thousand men are not
sufficient for operations against for
tress like this unless they expect as
sistance. AFTER three days fighting
the positions of the two armies were
rs follows:
ION the left flank we retained the
position we originally occupied. The
forcing OF our right flank back pre-
vious to this was rectified and now
we have both Green and Semaphore
hills in our hands. In front of these
hills we were not opposed, but we are
being
Heavily sheIIed From Both Sides.
The enemy retired a considerable dis.
lance. OF course all this was not
without losses, some of which will
strike the hearts of our countrymen.
1--WE started to take the offensive
the night of July l, when we began
. strong attack. Our soldiers, who
had been forced back at Kinchou, were
waiting for an opportunity to get al
the Japanese. The result was most
satisfactory. The infantry marched
out as if engaged in maneuvers, while
the artillery, taking up position
opened a fierce fire with shrapnel on
the enemy's line, resulting In their re
drement. .~..
During the three days battle the
Novik and q feet of gunboats left the
harbor daily, covering the right flank
of the army and stopping the fire Of
the enemy's artillery. On July 4 the
Novik fortunately obtained the range
of the enemy's batteries and die
frightful damage to them. All thu
morning the gunboats, without receiv
Ing any return fire, shelled the enc
my's troops marching towards our de
lenses. The Japanese feet appeared
IN the afternoon and our gunboats re
turned to the inner harbor withou
sustaining any damage.

of Newchwang and the completion OF
the japanese line across the head Of
the I.iaotung peninsula The fortif-
cation of the passes Of the Fenshui
range and the semi-circle eastward of
Liaoyang is reported. With pressure
on two sides, if the Japanese have any
serious intentions of pushing home
their advance in the direction of Muk-
den, General Kuropatkin's position
would seem decidedly dangerous.
Severe fighting is not improbable
north of Tatchekiao, but the belief
is growing that Kuropatkin does not
intend to accept general engagement
at this time, even if challenged.
Additional details of the Hoiyan
fight July describes the Russian bay
onet charge as being the most bril-
liant incident of the war. japanese
and Russians were found dead in the
trenches with their bayonets through

DRAMATIC III The EXTREME
SCENES DURING CLOSING HOURS
OF DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
'''." ....s4
= CONVENTION.

Ut. Louis, July 12.-The closing
hours Of the national Democratic con-
vention were full of dramatic interest.
Like the preceding session at which
Judge A. B., Parker was nominated the
intensely dramatic scenes of the final
hours will long live in the memories
Of all those who were present. ~
While the roll Of states was being
called for nomination for vice, presi;
dent Delegate Edward F. Sheehan re-
ceived the following telegram from
Judge Parker: - . & =
Il regard the gold standard as firm
~ and irrevocably established, and I
shall act accordingly if the action Of
the convention today is ratified by the
people. Inasmuch as the platform is
silent on the subject l deem it neces-
sary to make this communication to
the convention for it's consideration,
as should feel it my duty to decline
the nomination except with that I'M
derstanding."
Only a thunderbolt launched at con-
vention hall could have created con-
sternation equal to that caused by the
message.
There was a suspension of business
and hurried conference between the
leaders. When the convention was
called to order there was some heated
debate, the result of which was mo-
ton to advise Judge Parker that the
convention was willing to abide by his
reservation On the money question,
and the following telegram was &C.
cordingly sent to Judge Parker: "''> -
1.-THE platform adopted by this con.
vention is silent on the question OF
the monetary standard, because 1T "is
not regarded by us as a possible issue
In this campaign, and only campaign

A new pitcher from Missouri will
Join the locals at Fargo.
Outfelder Smittle has been released
by the local management, and Caylor
will play in the field when ROnish is
not behind the bat, the latter taking
first.
Foster heads the locals in hitting.
His batting eye is good. Caylor has
also been finding the ball better of
late.
Brown is easily the star infelder Of
the independent teams in the state,
and with better batting eye would be
a valuable man for any league. His
fielding and throwing would be hard
to improve upon.
1t was an ideal night for ball
game. A few more games like the
one last evening, will increase the at
tendance wonderfully.
Lisbon has a fast bunch, and it takes
a good team to win from them.
The evening games are proving
popular and enjoyable.
1t gives the people pleasant out
ing for a few hours.
Manager Elston has signed left
handed pitcher He comes from
Sedalia, Missouri. Another pitcher is
badly needed, as both Blexrud and
Middleton have been worked hard for
the past two weeks.
Many ladies were in the grand stand
last evening. A large number coming

The next games will be with the fast
