The rerating of insurance in

per cent, is an arbitrary bit of
discipline which seems to be in
tended to show the power OF the
insurance trust. These compa-

and agreed on values and rates.
In Louisiana they re-enact the
old lottery scheme, except that IN
practice they take 63 per cent
from the total receipts instead
of the 81 per cent taken by the
lottery. The only excuse made
so far seems to be that somebody

Bank Tuesday afternoon, enAn-
pany with a capital of 2,O0O,V 700
was organized. The style of the
corporation is the "Opelousas,
Gulf and Northeastern Railway
Company, and the purpose of said
organization, as set forth in the
charter, is as follows:
"To locate, construct, purchase,
own and operate a railroad n *
from Opelousas, in northeast
erly direction, intersecting the
Texas & Pacific Railroad at some
suitable point; thence in the same
direction intersecting or connect
ing with other line or lines of
railways running southwark and
.paraieIling the Mississippi river,
and SO as to reach navigable water
connected with that river; and,
also, for the construction and ex-
tension of said line of railway
from Opelousas in a southwest
erly direction to deep water at or
near the Gulf, intersecting and
forming junction with the Lou
isiana Western Railway at the
town of Rayne, or the town of
Crowley, or the town of Jen-
nings."
The following gentlemen will
constitute the first board of di-
rectors: E. M. Boagni, E. P.

ted: Thos. II. Lewis, president
E. P. Veazie, vice-president; j
J. Thompson, treasurer; George
t. Edwards, secretary.
As will be seen from the route
proposed in the charter, this roae
will connect Opelousas with sew
eral competing railway companies
and of course the saving in freigh
charges would Justify the commu
nifty in making any REASONABLE
| contribution to assure it's con

SGw JERSEY husbands have reg

New Jersey husbands have reg
istered "kick" against progress
sive euchre parties by electing a
Mr.. Kicks president of an anti
euchre society. They say they are
tired of walking the floor With
babies at night until their wives
get home. Mr.. Kicks, in accept
ing the presidency of the new So
ciety, said: cit is high time we
asserted our manhood and made a
determined effort to down this
habit which threatens to wreck
our homes. Many night | have
had to walk the floor with the
baby until 2 or 3 o'clock waiting
until my wife returned from the
euchre party. It has got so that
the clubs meet every afternoon
and evening, and are now talking
about playing on Sunday"
AS New Jersey Is the home OF
trusts, we can't blame the trust
ing husbands for kicking over the
traces. There seems to be alto
gether too much "trusting" in the
'skeeter State, and to trust is tt
bust.

Inspection of Mall.

A report has gained currency In this in the Douglas postoffice is inspected in the office by custom house officials who take this means of searching for dutiable matter before the articles start upon their journey. Postmaster Cad well states that the report is not true; that neither registered matter nor ordinary matter by parcels post IS in- spected in the office at any time before leaving Douglas for its destination.
 The postoffice department holds that it is t he province of customs depart ment to attend to the inspection of possible dutiable articles before such parcels reach the office, if possible. After the articles pass into the hands of the postoftice officials they become subject to the laws of the postoffice de- partment only, and no one except an employe of the postoffice department has right to handle mail matter until delivered at its destination.
 Inspection of mail matter was for merly made by customs house officials at this place and at several other bor- der towns. This action, however, was seemingly without authority, as the department at Washington immediate ly put a stop to this practice when the matter was called to their attention. -Internatioual-A
