trains operated through Wichita only be-
tween Newton and Arkansas City, a dis
lance of 70 miles \ train will then be
equipped with fresh locomotive. Before
one locomotive drew a train the entire

CaIcasieu Knitted Blanchard.

In speaking of Calcasieu's vote for
governor, the New Orleans States

Judge Blanchard for years had been
an idol of the Calcasieu people be-
cause of the great benefits he had con-
ferred upon them during his service
,ipon the rivers and harbors commit
tee, through appropriations obtained
from congress for the improvement OF
Calcasieu pass and river, in former
campaigns the Judge was always sum-
mOned to Calcasieu because or the IN
fuence he welded there with the de-
mocracy. He and his friends had
reason to believe that normally Cal
casieu would be his banner parish
and that his majority there could moi
fall under 1900. An intensely bitter
local fight, however. suddenly reVolu
tionized Calcasieu\ and though earnes
efforts were made by friends o
Blanchard in the parish to conVlnc'
the people that he ought not to o.
made the victim of that struggle, tn
argument seems to have fallen on dea
ears and the knife seems to have bee
thrust deeply into the candidate VIII
was two months ago regarded as IN
yincible in the parish"

At 10 O 'c1ock the masks were re-
moved. The dancing and card play,
ing, however, continued until a late
hour. The ladies also provided sew

NAV Combine Rice Interests.

A special from Crowley gives the
following interesting information:
"Since the meeting of the Rice Asso-
of America in Beaumont, Tex
as, Tuesday, it has been rumored in
rice circles that another attempt to
form a mammoth combination of rice
interests in the gulf coast region is
about to be made. The TimeS-Demo-
crat- Representative has it on good
authority that there are now pending
not only one, but two large deals.
One is a Texas proposition that may
be extended into Louisiana, while the
other is strictly confined to the rice
interests of Southwest Louisiana. A
well known rice man said today that
:, movement was now under way at
Beaumont backed by influential rice
men of east Texas, to organize one
large company, through which the
output of the majority of the mills OF
the two states would be sold, the in
tention of the promoters being to Or
ganize a company with capital
stock of not less than So, 5O0,0 600. Be-
sides men prominently connected with
the rice industry in Louisiana and
Texas, the name of John w. Gates, OF
Chicago, who is interested in the Por1
Arthur rice mill, is mentioned in con
nection with the deal.
