The following remarkable essay on
the horse is said TO be from the pen OF
an Indian student:
"The horse is a very noble quadru
ped, but when he is angry he will not
do so. He is ridden on the spinal cord by
the bride, and sadly the driver places
his foots Oh the stirrup and divides
his lower limbs across the saddle and
drives his animal to the meadow. He
has -four legs; two are on the front side
and two are afterwurd. These are the
weapons on which he runs He also
defends himself by extending those In
the rear in parallel direction toward
his foe. but this he does only when In
vexatious mood. There is no animal
like the horse No sooner they see
their guardian or master than they al
ways cry for food but ii is always at
the morning time. They have got tails
but not so long as the COW aud other
such like animals. ."-Scottish Amer-N>I

NEGRO KILLED ON EXCURSION
TRAIN.

Last Sunday night as the east bound
New Orleans excursion train, was
nearing Olivier Station, just above
the parish line, a free-fOr all fight
took place in one of the rear coaches
occupied exclusively by negroes.
From the best information obtainable,
the trouble originated from some OF
the negroes of another coach trying to
crowd their way through the aisle,
which was packed. Starting with a
fist fight, in few minutes pistols and
razors were drawn and some ten or
twelve shots fired into the packed car.
When order was finally restored by
the train crew and some of the white
passengers it was found that Joe
Turner, of Bayou Boeuf, was mortally
wounded and he died just before the
train reached Morgan City. Alex
Moore, of Franklin was shot i'll the
leg and was taken off at Franklin.
An unknown negro was also slightly
wounded, and some half dozen 9th
ers were cut and possibly shot. Ow-
ing to the crowded condition of the
train, and also to the fact that the
negroes scattered in the other coaches,
it was impossible to learn the actual
result of the fight The Sheriff, OF
Franklin was Oh hand when the train
arrived there and arrested William
Lindsay, of Bayou Boeuf, who is
charged with the killing OF Joe
Turner The prisoner was afterwards
turned over to the New Iberia au-
thorities, as the shooting took place
| in Iberia Parish.

Mr.. Bryan, happily, has particu-
larized his reasons for voting for
Judge Parker. Directing to the
method by which the candidate
forced the gold standard upon the
convention, and distrusting his
Wall street affiliations, Mr.. Bryan
yet finds in the platform a residual
element of righteousness sufficient
to justify his support. Thus on
imperialism and the tariff "Judge
Parker stands for enough things
that are good to justify me in Civ
ing him my vote" This will
probably be the verdict of every
Independent voter who takes the
pains to compare party platforms.

INFORMATION
Given to the Public by our
Local Druggist.

We want the public to know that
the most valuable and delicious tasting
cod liver oil preparation known to
medicine is Vinol.
Vinol contains ALL of the medicinal
elements of cod liver Oil, actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, but not a drop
of oil.
For this reason it is recognized
throughout the world as the greatest
health restorer and strength creator
known to medicine, and we do not
believe there is man, woman or child
in this vicinity but what Vinol will
benefit them.
1t makes health and strength for old
people, weak, sickly women and chill
dren, nursing mothers, and after a
severe sickness.
Cures hacking coughs, chronic colds,
bronchitis and all throat and lung
troubles. Unequalled to create an
appetite, and to make those who are
too thin, fat, rosy and healthy.
Try Vinol on our guarantee to return
your money if you are not satisfied.
