To Rev. Breek.

"Sister E. j. Lassiter Is very sick
of pneumonia. This doctors say
she ean't live. She told me be-
fore she got sick that shs wanted
TO bequeath to the church $500 as
a permanent fund TO help support
the pastor. I had the pabers
drawn up, but before she could
come TO town aud fix the matter up
she took sick, but sent for me I'M
fnediately. went out with the doc
tors, and after they had examined
her and told me she was perfectly
conscious, she gave me check for
$500 for the church. She has no
nearer relatives than nephew and
niece, and they are not Baptists,
and therefore were not in favor OF
1t, and have had a great deal to
say about it, threatening to con-
test the matter In case she dies.
But we leave it all with Cod"
The above, under the head Of
"Opelousas Notes." appeared in the
Baptist Chronicle of date April
7th.
Inasmuch as the article Is mis-
leading, and almost in toto untrue,
I desire to say something in rsfu-
tation thereof.
In the first place, the attending
physicians, Drs. /. E. shute and 0.
2. Daily, disclaim having said that
my aunt was so dangerously Ill
that she could not live.
AS to the check for $500, / will
say that Mr.. J. B. Brock, the
author Of the above article, OBJ
taiHed my aunt's signature while
she was in an irrational condition,
and not responsible for her action.
Mr., Brock was at the house the
evening before, but had no papers
"drawn up" as he claims. His
visit that evening was strictly on
church matters. My aunt did not
send for Dir. Brock, but the sum-
mons was to express to him her re-
grets at not being able TO attend
meeting on church matters.
The statement that my sister
and myself are not Baptists is
equally untrue. We are Baptists,
and the entire family, as far back
as can trace the family tree, are
Baptists. The fact that the fnner-
al obsequeies were performed by 3
Methodist minister does not effect
our faith In the Baptist religion.
| / am selely responsible In this
| matter, having persuaded, for per-
sonaI reasons, Bro. Crews to bury
my aunt.
T wish to emphatically deny that
we, my sister and myself. have
chad great deal to say about It,"
and that We threatened to resort
to the courts in an endeavor 10
| contest the matter.
I admit that my aunt intended
to make the donation, and the
/ only part of the transaction that !
might have had something to say
about is the manner in which Mr.
Brock resorted to In completing
the mutual agreement. He could
have waited until she was rational,
Mr.. Brock and Mr.. Alexander
were at my aunt's house some
DAYS after the signing OF the check.
and when it appeared she would
recover, and Mr.. Brock stated that
she (my aunt) had willed $500 to
the Baptist church aud incorpor'
! ated it in her viii, and that his haste
| in having the check drawn up was
| due to the fact that she was leav'
ling on May 1st. He said that she
had told him she would have the
$500 bequeathed erased from tilf
will, and that the reason she gave
the check was that she was leav
ing.
Tt does not seem to me that the

degree, of the power and prestige
which we now enjoy among our
sister parishes, and which v-s hope
at no distant day to enjoy to a
much greater degree than at pres
ent.
ave oppose the proposed division
of our territory because it would
be the entering wedge for a still
further dismemberment of our
parish to crafty the local pride
and interest of other communities
contiguous to our boundary line.
"We oppose said plan also be-
cause the precipitation of such an
issue among our people would
bring strife, dlscord and bitter
ness, not to be healed up in gen.
Grafton. We further declare that
there is no pressing public neces-
sity justifying the cutting off of a
portion Of our parish, and that the
plan, if carried out, in addition to
the evils above mentioned, would
not only increase the burden OF
taxation upon the inha bitants of
the new parish, but would deprive
our parish OF much Of its revenue,
a large part OF it's richest territory
and some of it's best, most intelli-
gent and patriotic people and from
whom we cannot and will not vol
antarily part.
ave furthermore freely admit
that our citizens who desire to en-
ter into the proposed new parish
are subjected to much inconve-
nience in reaching the county
seat, and they are entitled to have
quicker and more convenient ac-
cess to that point than they have
at present, but we remind them
that this Is not the day or time for
cutting up or disturbing old ss-
tablished communities to meet To-
cal or temporary conditions, and
that it is rather the epoch Of rail-
road building and road making
for the purpose of bringing distant
communities into immediate touch
with each other; that the citizens
of Opelousas and Washington have
long since contemplated establish
ing direct railway communication
between those towns and the Tex
as & Pacific Railroad and we as
sure our fellow citizens, who are
suffering the Inconvenience men,
toned, that the present agitation,
for the formation of a new parish
will, we believe, hasten the con-
struction of that connecting link
thus relieving them of all occa'
sion for complaint.
@And we further declare that the
subject matter Of taking away from
our parish portion Of it's terri
tory to go into q new parish Is o.
such paramount interest and I'M
portance that no step looking te
that end should be taken in the
Legislature without having pre-
vlously taken the sense OF our peo
pie upon the matter, and we there
fore respectfully request ana urgt
our senator's aud members OF tht
House to vote against and TO op
pose any enabling act submitting
the question to the voters OF the
two parishes to be effected, or any
act introduced for the creation o
the proposed new parish, or am
other new parish, taking from st
i Landry any portion of it's terrific
ry."

GREAT PREPARATIONS
Being Made for the Celebration of

Arrangements have been completed
for the annual celebration of Straw
berry Dav at Glenwood Springs. and
greater effort than usual will be
made to live up to the traditions of

years know. what is meant by the

word of explanation is necessary.
On Strawberry Day. Glenwood
Springs puts on its gala attire, comes
forth in its best, and outdoes itself in
the entertainment of its visitors,
who, ON that occasion are numbered
by the thousands.
Every one has heard of the Flower
Parades of Los Angeles, the Yelled
prophets parade of st. Louis and the
Mardi Gras celebration of New Or
leans. aud almost all of Colorado has
heard of Straw berry Day of Glenwood
Springs. While the little city of the
Western Slope has not the lavish
hand with which the larger cities eel,
citrate, it nevertheless gives of its
possessions to the full
On that day all of Colorado, and
all of the states adjoining are invited
to come to the little city with its hot
springs. its bathing pool and its
magnificent mountain scenery. and
partake of the lucious fruit that has
made the Western Slope famous, and
eat the finest of cake, made by the
fair hands of its daughters.
The pool is thrown open and a
swim in its waters given to all who
comes. If you have not been there in
the past, ask your friends about it.
A word to the wise is sufficient.

Beach thriving.

Some very fine people from Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and other points have
settled in the vicinity of Beach the past
year. The town is located on the North
ern Pacific about two miles east of the
Montana line. There is some very fine
land tributary, and if there were more
settlers like C.. E. Barber in the locality
it would contribute much to the general
prosperity of this growing section. Mr..
BARRIERS land is in plain sight of Beach,
Just "A little northeast, where he has a
homestead and a section of railroad
land, all fenced. He has a good two
story frame dwelling. we'll furnished, and
has Just erected a frame barn where his
mich COWS and horses will be sheltered
in winter time. Mr.. Barber has a fine
herd of cattle. and the past season he
has raised fodder corn, wheat and other
grain and vegetables in abundance. Mr..
and Mrs. Barber have one daughter at
tending school in Dickinson, another
teaching in the Newport distict and still
another at home.
Mrs. L. W. Richards, republican nomi.
nee for superintendent of schools in
Billsings county has a fine homestead
north OF the track a short distance from
Beach where she and her son Buel re-
side. AS soon as the building is done,
Mrs. Richards, who taught in Dickinson
last year, will open the village school.

He Learned q Lesson.

Pioneer: A great many people do not
properly appreciate the necessity OF
compliance with the estray laws of this
state. They take up animals or permit
them to come into their punches, and
evade the law which requires them to
advertise the stock in d local newspaper.
1t is not that they are actuated by dis
honest motives, but perhaps they do not
care to pay the small sum for advertis-
ing notice. They should obey the law
for the reasons-frst and foremost be-
cause it would be a compliance with the
golden rule of doing to others as you
would be done by, and second, because
it IS the law.
An unfortunate farmer in Mclean
county who took up a horse and failed
TO advertise it, and eventually treated it
AS his own, is now in the %penitentiary
figuring on how much the gamer he was.
He was last week sentenced to a two
year term for the offence he computed.
The jury came to the conclusion that
while the horse strayed on his premises
during a severe storm, yet as he took no
steps to advertise it according to law,
and eventually worked it and shaved the
brand, he intended to deprive the owner
of the animal. They found him guilty,
and it was their recommendation to
mercy that caused the Judge to give him
only two years instead of the five years
fixed by the law as the maximum in
| such cases.
1t is very likely that at first he intend.
1 ed to return this animal to its owner, il
he could find the owner. He told his
| neighbors that he had ar estray. But
| the one thing that he should have done
as required by the law, namely to ad
vertise it, he neglected to do. If he hac
done that, he could not have been con
victed, for he would thereby have shown
that he had no dishonest intent. Thi:
case should be a warning to those who
are in the habit of taking up stray ami
mails and failing 10 advertise them &C
cording to Law.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear:
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inaamed con
.dition of the mucous lining of the Eusta=
Chan Tube. When this tube is inflam-
ed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con
dition of the mucous services.
We will give n hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)

Who Can Vote.

In reply to a letter of inquiry by Lewis
F. Crawford, the Attorney General has
written the following:
81 am in receipt of your communica-
ton OF the 9TH instant in which you say
that a number Of citizens filed on land
in your county NJ year ago and came
to the county to live this spring. You
ask if they may vote in North Dakota at
the next general election.
The constitution of the state requires
that ono must be a resident of the state
one year before he can vote. Residence
is a question Of fact. Residence COM
n when the party actually comes
filing on the land does o establish resi-
dence under the state laws II moro
than it does under the United States
laws. The rule as to the establishment
OF residence l think is about the Same
under both laws. Very truly yours,

Something New Tina, You viii Appreciate

The art of electro-plating is not yet
known to many people and we have
therefore endeavored to serure the best
mechanic in this h.rnch to SHOW to you
how the process oi elettnr plating is
conducted.
For a very reasonable price YOU can
have your knives, forks or spoons, or any
other article of metal, plated in silver,
your watch and chain can be gold plate'
while you visit the fair, and the method
which the platter will show YOU is very
interesting and will no doubt e a great
benefit to your knowledge.
This feature alone will convince you,
that we have not spared trouble, labor
nor expenses, to make this fair a success
and we hope sincerely that you will ap-
preciate what we have done.
Bring your household articles for plat
ing and watch the silversmith how he
will plate them for you; how the-elcc.
tricity dissolves the silver and deposits
it on the surface which needs plating.
In order to show the people what can
be accomplished by the way of plating
with batteries, MIA. Werner, the sill.
versmith, of Milwaukee, Wis, has con.
| structed a model battery of his own
| design for this occasion only, and you
will notice certain things which are new
to your experience.
OF course you can not expect to see
the large dynamos and lathes which are
used in the factory for this purpose, but
it will give you an idea how work of this
| kind is done.
Hoping you will come and enjoy your.
self and bring your friends for this oc.
