Suly county claims to have record.
With a territory larger than the State
of Rhode Island, it has no saloon, Jail
or pauper. Further, the county has no
debt, and the cash in the treasury is
sufficient to meet all calls upon it
which emergency might bring forth.
The tax rate is at the bottom limit. and
the county never had but two licensed
saloons They lived but a short time,
at the boom town of FairbanN, on the
river in the northwestern part Of the
county.

for good roads and the cause of public
and general education; pledging the
| association to make an effort to have
the state legislature adopt more strin-
gent laws for the protection OF insect
destroying and song birds, and finally,
indorsing Hon. John Dymond for the
presidency ofthe N ational Editorial AS
ISOLATION, which is to meet at Guthrie,
Okla, next week. The election of Off
GERS for the ensuing year, resulted in
the choice Of Chas. e. Schwing, Iber-

Shreveport Times, first vice president;
Miss Alice Bickhan, Franklinton, New

Bentley, Donaldsonville Chief, secre-
tary; j. G. Trimble, Farmerville Ca

ing place for next year developed All
interesting contest between Monroe,
Lake Providence and Lafayette, each
of the towns being very anxious to en-
terrain the association in 1906. After
a lengthy and brilliant discussion, dur
ing which the representatives of the
contesting towns kept up running
fire of witty comment, ballot was
taken and resulted in the choice OF
Monroe as the convention city for next
year, Lake Providence securing the
next largest number OF votes and La
fayette bringing up the rear. On be-
half of Lafayette President 3. L.
Stephens invited the association to
| meet at that place in 1907, and the
courteous and generous invitation was
| received with much applause. Several
minor changes in the constitution of
the association, offered by Secretary
Bentley, were adopted without dissent,
after which President-elect Schwing
| was introduced and made grateful
little speech thanking the association
| for the honor of the election. A motion
to adjourn followed, and the twenty
sixth annual gathering of the Louis
lana press people was brought to an
end.

A LIVE COAL TRICK.

Teaches Natural Law, Yet Has All
the Appearance OF Magic.
No one would suppose that 1t is pos
stble to hold a glowing coal on a piece
Of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth, but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made OF copper because that metal
Is good conductor of heat and cleo
trfcity, which Is only another form Of
heat Il poker is heated in the fire,
you pick up cloth to hold the outer
end, although 1t has not been In the
fire, because experience has taught you
that the heat Is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors Of heat. Take
o globe Of copper and draw piece OF
cloth tightly over it so that there is
not wrinkle at the top. II the linen
or cotton is closely woven. the tricks
al the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly In place. you can safe
~ put glowing coal ON top Of the
cloth. and, while IL burns fiercely, the
cloth win not even be scorched.
The reason IL that the great conduc-
tiyity OF the copper draws the heat of
the coal before It can burn the cloth.
Do not try this experiment with a
good handkerchief first, for IL the cloth
Is not tightly drawn it may burn, but
take some worthless piece Of linen or
muslin, and after you are certain of
your experience you can astonish your
friends who do not know the secret

trell, of Colfax County, New Mexico,
arrived in Pueblo yesterday morning
for the purpose of identifying three
colored men who were arrested Sun
day night by Officer Dobson on sus-
picion of being fugitives who broke Jail
at Ration several days ago. Mr.. Lit
trell positively identified the man Civ
ing his name as John Grundy as John
Medlock, wanted in Ration on a charge
of numbering woman there two
years ago. A reward of $50 was Of
fered for Medock's arrest, and this
will probably go to the Pueblo patrol
man who took the men in custody.
The other two men were given jail
sentences for vagrancy, investigation
showing that they were in no way
connected with the New Mexico Jail

left yesterday afternoon for Ration.

Las Cruces, July 12-The wheat
crop of the valley is the poorest ever
known. The ears have very little
grain and are what the Mexicans call
vano (empty). The probable cause is
oyerirrigation in the spring when
there was already plenty of moisture
accompanied by unusually cold nights
and dull, chilly days.

will be worth money if there should be
no third cutting.
So far the alfalfa fields have re.

Escapes by Swimming to Nearest
Shore.

New Orleans, July 12.-The Norwe-
glan steamer Bratten, with Captain
Holm in command, from Celba, Hon.
duras, and which reached here today,
reports the preparation of a startling
tragedy on board the small trading
schooner Olympia. The crew and the
passengers, twelve in number, were
all murdered by negro named Rob.
ert McGill. One passenger, young
woman, was the only one who escaped
and she saved her life by swimming
ashore after being struck on the head
by an oar. McGill shot all of his vic.
Tins with a rifle. He also forced one
of the crew to scuttle the schooner
and then shot him. McGill escaped to
the shore in a small boat and was sub
sequently captured at Provener, Hon
duras. The captain of the Olympia
had $1,400 in cash in his cabin and it
is supposed that the desire to obtain
this money was what led McGill to
commit the crime. The young lady
who swan ashore is almost prostrated
on account of her narrowing exper-
ience, although the blow on the head
did not do serious damage.

Willard, July 12.-Work on the cut

They have received instructions to
complete the grade from Willard to
Epris, the junction with the Rock Is

the dirt is f1yin now they will not lack
much, if any, of doing so. Track-lay-

shovel will come in by Willard and
work west.

unless water, gas or oil is struck at
less distance. On the strength of
this well and the prospects for it's sue
