From Lon Angeles, California

From Lon Angeles, California,
comes the story of Charles Hatfield,
of his alleged production of 1896
inches of rainfall, and of his re-
ceipt of one thousand dollars from
grateful community for the ex-
ceeding good he had done. Mr..
Hatfield set up a little more than a
year ago as "rainmaSer," and
conducted during the so-called
rainy season which has just passed
a series OF mysterious operations at
the foot of a tall wooden tower
The precise nature of these opera
tions is not disclosed, but they
seem to have consisted chiefly in
evaporating mysterious fluids into
the mysterious air, through the
mysterious tower. What has tang
IDLY happened is that while for
several previous seasons the rain
fall of the southern California re-
gion has been dscouragingly small
after Mr.. Hatfield broke in it was
abnormally large. For what he
has presumably done in the way of
having the thirsty. land, Hatfield
gets the thousand dollars in add
ton to vast quantities of fervent
alteration. Where Mr. Hatfield
was wonderfully lucky was in his
agreement at the opening of the
season to deliver Is inches OF rain,
while there actually fell almost al
inch more. N. o. Stdtes.

BLOOD CELLS.

Man is millionaire MANY times over in
the possession of blood cells. Woman Is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
in adult men is FIVE million; in women four

The normal cell is not absolutely round

tremely irregular in shape Every one can

Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva-

to prepare for long life by observing ma.
lures laws. In the first place, If your
digestion is faulty, and the food yo,,
eat is not taken up by the blood and assirn.

the red blood corpuscles; he believes In
going about this in natures own way
Years ago, ia his active practice, he found
that an Alternative extract of certain herbs

hol, would put the liver. lungs and heart
into fuller and more complete action. This
medicine he called DR.. piefce's Golden

own initiative and responsibility,
without suggestion or instruction
from thier official chief
We desire, however,to invite the
attention of Gov. Blanchard and
whomsoever else it may concern to
the fact that The Chief did not orr
ginate and was not the first paper
to publish the report that the gov
ernor had "stuck his fingers in the
municipal contest at New Iberia
and got them burnt. F" We received
the charge at second hand and ac-
cepted it upon the strength of testi-
mony and precedent that seemed at
least reasonable if not conclusive.
Perhaps the governor was aware
that the accusation of his lnterfer-
ence in the New Iberia contest had
been previously made and discuss
ed, but did not care to take notice of
this matter until it was given eur
rency in such reputable and IN
huential medium as The Chief.
If this be SO we doff our hat for the
compliment and beg to assure the
governor of our high appreciation
of his perspicaclty.
There are several instances of al
legged unseemly gubernatorial in
reference which would appear to
be even more worthy of notice than
the New Iberia incident, but we
will'let every tub stand upon its
own bottom and refer to the other
eases hereafter.

A BIG HAUL.

The grand jury of Ascension
made a big haul this week when il
returned Ids indictments for viola
ton of the Sunday law and fol
gambling with slot machines
Nearly every store and saloon in
the Parish of Ascension fell un-
der the ban.
This grand jury supplemented
its good work by requesting the
sheriff and his deputies to see that
the Sunday law be strictly enforc-
ed, and recommended that the
Mayor Of Donaldsonville have the
local police assist in the suppress
ion of violations of law. 1t looks
as if the people of Ascension mean
business. Thibodeaur Sentinel.

THE BIG FIRE.

About two thirty o'clock this
morning fire broke out in the
apartment in the rear of DeBlanc
4 Landry's wholesale'liquor store,
and before it could be checked the
entire building was in flames,
which soon communicated to the
adjoining building in front occu-
pied as saloon and wholesale
liquor establishment, from this
store the flames rapidly spread I'M
til the Nendome Opera House was
enveloped in the jaws of the fire
fiend making a complete wreck,
the flames then crossed the narrow
continuation Of Julia street and de-
wasted the livery stable of Henry
Kramer and the warehouse of Jules
! Dreyfus. AT one time it was
thought the entire block to Bridge
Street would be consumed and was
prevented only by the heroic work
of the fire companies, who got in
their work in fac shape and kept
the flames in subsection aud pre-
vented their further spread. Our
fire departments deserve great cred
it for their promptness and inces-
sent labors in fighting the fire and
thereby preventing a general con
tlagration.
The losses are approximately as
follows with insurance for each:
Vendome Opera House, losses
$4,000 Insurance, So, 800.
DeBlanc & Landry, loss $8, 900
Insurance $1,000.

Ia. +. Serrett, loss $1,000. lnsu
rance $500.
A total loss of $40, 700, with {
total.insurance of 81 800.
Had the fire occurred a few hour.
earlier, there is no computing thu
disaster that might have ensuet
as the Opera House was full of oul
boys and girls and citizens gener
ally, who were conducting the Higl
School commencement exercises
As it is we have much to be thank
full for that the elements were il
our favor, being calm morning
which was prime factor in con
trolling the flames.

Editor Donaidsonvile Chief, Donaldsonvile, La
Dear Sir enclose clipping of editorial pub
lished In recent issue of the Donaldsonvillt
Chief under the caption, "Broussard agans,
Blanchard. which has just been called TO the mt
tention of the governor.
He directs me to say to you that he had nothing
whatever to do with the election in New Iberia
took no more part in II, in fact than you did
youIself-and requests that publicity be given
this statement.
Yours very truly
THos o. HARRIS
Private Secretary
The editorial referred to was
printed in this paper April %, aud
began with the sentence, IF com
mon reports is true, Gov. Blan-
chard stuck his fingers in the mum
icipal contest in New iberia and
got them burnt" The presumption
of gubernatorial interference was
largely based upon the statement
that "the sheriff of the parish, who
is regarded gs the local lieutenant
governor, led the fight for the de-
feated Dupuy ticket, while Con-
gresham r. +. Broussard, be-
tween whom and Gov. Blanchard
little love is lost, took an active
part in behalf of the opposition and
proved prime factor in its sue
cess.
Gov. Blanchard is entitled to
have his disclaimer given the same
degree of publicity that the report
to which he takes exception reeeiv-
ed, and it would be contrary TO the
policy pursued by The Chief
throughout its entire career TO deny
to anyone, whether the humblest
citizen or the governor of the state,
the privilege Of defending himself
against any accusation which may
have appeared in its columns.
Not only do we willingly priut
the governors declaration that he
had nothing whatever to do with
the election in New Iberia, but we
have neither the disposition to
question its sincerity nor evidence
upon which to found an imputa-
ton. More than this, we are ready
to accept his statement as concln-
sive of the fact involved, and to be-
lieve that his political friends and
representatives who figured 50 con-
spicuUusfy III the New Iberia tfec-
ton we're acting solely upon thier

Commenting on the mobbing o

Commenting on the mobblng of
Craighead The People of Baton
Rouge says "The question ari-
SEES, what circumstance in this
drama offered way to prevent it,
The prisoner had been successfully
protected up to and after his trial
and conviction by the jury. Had
the presiding Judge and district at
torney conducted the case strictly
according to law, no cause would
have arisen for second trial, and
Craighead would have been ju-
dicially executed. While reprov
ing and depreciating the action OF
the Homer mob, we cannot re-
frain from saying that judges, dis
trict attorneys and public officials
generally should know their duty
and discharge it fearlessly and
conscientiously. Mob law and
lynching would then cease, "

GODS FINGER TOUCHED
HER AND She SLEPT

Friday afternoon at O'CLOCK the
spirit of Mrs. Sarah A. Harris, an
aged pioneer, winged its flight to
that lefty not made with hands eter-
nal in the heavens
Mrs. Harris was born near Quincy,
in Gadsden county, in the year 1920.
Her father, Berrian Mcdonald, after
wards moved to Fort Gaines, Ga.
Sne was married to Ebenezer J. Har-
ris in 1888 and came to Florida in the
early 4O's and settled on what is now
known as Lake Harris, where they be-
gan the planting of an orange grove
and the raising of a family. Their
nearest neighbor was thirty-fve miles
distant They had five sons born TO
them, and looking to their education
they moved to OcaIa in the early SOS
and soon afterwards purchased the
Ocala House, which they sold just
previous to the great fire in 1888.
Mrs. Harris was very strong and
resolute woman and was conspicuous
in religious and charitable works and
took very great interest in the
Methodist church, of which she was
a conspicuous and active member.
She gave two sons to the service of
the Confederate cause, and during
that struggle no soldier was allowed
by her to pass through Ocala hungry
or empty-handed, and she is remem-
bered with great affection by many a
Confederate veteran.
She and her husband left Ocala to
reside at Citra in 1850 with their son,
Mr.. James A. Harris, and after the
death of her husband, which occurred
March 5, 1885, she continued to live
with her son, who for the past sever
al years has lived at Pannasoffkee-
Mrs. Harris came to Ocall two weeks
ago Saturday day to visit her nephew,
Mr.. Frank Harris. and was taken sick
Immediately after her arrival, but
was not regarded as seriously i'll un-
til Friday, when she was taken
with terrible paroxyisms in her sides
and back and when the pain reached
her heart her death occurred very
suddenly. The day before her death
she was able TO be downstairs all day
and she was perfectly rational up to
the moment death relieved her of
her sufferings.
She leaves one son, Mr.. James
Harris, who is now in New York, and
no arrangements Will be made for
the funeral until he is heard from.
Yesterday looked on one
Who lay as;eep perfect peece,
Her long Imprisonment OF llfe was done
Eterult-'s great freedom her release
Had bought, yet they who loved her
called her dead
And wept refusing TO be coInforted.
