Drainage District Matters.

Collinston, La: A meeting Of the
citizens of the drainage district OF
Morehouse parish was held at Collin
ston to consider bond issue.
The district contains about 275,000
acres of rich bottom land, with com
paratively a small portion in oultiva-
tion, and the proposition is to vote a
five cents per acre tax for thirty years,
to float bonds, and raise the necessary
cash to proceed with and complete the
drainage at an early day as possible.
The police jury was petitioned to
appoint Dr. A. w. Jones, A. H. Carter
and John B. Reilly as members of the
drainage board
The meeting was very enthusiastic
one. and there seems to be no doubt
but what the tax will be voted.
Within this district there are al
ready two railroads, and the towns of
Jones, Gallon, Bonita, Mer Rouge, Oak
Ridge and Collinston, and we predict
as soon as work is commenced on the
drains, land values in this section will
boom to fabulous prices.

Mosquitoes With Rabies.

Muskogee, l. T.: George H. Bloom,
AN undertaken of this city, who has
lived in the South and passed through
one or more epidemics of yellow fe-
yer, advances new theory as to the
origin Of this disease. Mr.. Bloom at
tributes yellow fever to mosquitoes,
and has studied the disease along this
line for many years, he says, even be-
fore DIR. Reed advanced and subse-
Nquently established the fact that the
stegomyia was the instrument of trans
mission of the germ.
& IF you will notice." said Mr.. Bloom,
yellow fever does not make its ap-
.pearance till about the dog days and
not then unless we nave season or
extremely wet weather, followed by an
unusually high temperature. The
weather gives the mosquitoes the ra-
bies the same as it does dogs. Dogs,
you will note, only go mad after a
season of rain, followed by hot wealth
,er, and the same applies to yellow
fever. / believe it is conveyed to peo-
pie by mosquitoes that have gone
mad the same as dog conveys ra-
bies when he goes mad and bites a
person"

OLD CHURCH FEAST'S
ENJOYMENTS IN THE DAYS OF
"MERRiE England
Bazars and Tea Parties of Modern
Days Had Their Prototypes Long
Aqo-Records Show Much Money
Raised by Harmless Festivities.

A curious light is thrown on ancient
church bazars and charity balls by GER
tain records kept in some of the
churches in England. For instance, in
the records of Yateley church, which.
date from 1913, are frequent refer
ences to church ales," the object of
which was to get money for church
expenses. The feast was organized
by the church wardens, who provided
good spread at so much head, and
credited the profits to the church ex-
penditure," 1t first appears as the
church ale,'' then as the kings ale, -
then later as ''our banquet at Whit
suntide" 1t was probably held in the
church and went on until 1643, the
year after the civil war broke out,
when, probably, the puritans put an
end to such festivities. 1t was popu-
lar, evidently. One enterprising church
warden has left on record all the good
things which were prepared fer the
Crondall church ale' in the year 1887.
They had a band, brewed a quantity
of ale and made profit of $42. AS
money was then worth nearly ten
times as much as now the. church
ale" may be said to have brought in
about $500, which was just 100 per
cent on the outlay. The band was
hired for four days
Until 1915 the church wardens kept
a church cow and let it out at 33 cents
year. A sheep and lamb (gifts)
they let out for cents year, proba-
bly, for the wool. Payments for in
cense and for an enormous Easter
candle of wax were regular items. The
parliamentary soldiers made earth
works in the churchyard and the puri-
tans later had small marble font
made. The puritan font is still there,
though displaced in it's turn. On All
Saints day little tax was levied Of a
farthing on each chimney. All Saints
was the dedication day of the church
This tax was called Smoke farth-

ST, PETERSBURG HOPEFUL.
Fact That Negotiations Are Still Be-
ind Considered the Cause for 1t.


St. Petersburg: The Russian cap
ita is in the dark regarding th3 mean.
ing of the prolonged conference at
Portsmouth on Saturday The purport
of NJ. Whites messages received here
has been impaired only to few Off
Gals. Nevertheless in high quarters
there is a certain feeling of hopeful
er accounted for on the ground that
thus far there mas been no rapture
and that the terms are still under dis
cussion, with chance OF an under
standing being reached. The only
comment vouchsafed officially was
that Mr.. Whites answer seemed not
altogether unacceptable to the Japan
csc, else the conference would have
ended then and there. Count LAM
dorff, who is keeping in close touch
with the emperor, went again to Pc
terhof yesterday, carrying the latest
messages, but apparently there were
no important developments here al
fecting the negotiations.
The emperor has seen the minister's
also during the lact two days, but has
found no occasion TO summon coun-
Gil of minister's and NJ. Whites course
seems to be meeting with his full ap-
prevail.
All official dispatches received from
Portsmouth, after being decipIerec,
are forwarded to the emperor, whose
comment and suggestions thereon are
sometimes expressed in marginal an
notatiOns.
There is reason to believe that 10
manifesto on the subject of a national
assembly will be issued until definite
news is received from Portsmouth, so
that if peace negotiations fail the
promise of an assembly and the pub
LEGATION of the rejected Japanese terms
made simultaneously will combine to
stir up the patriotism of the country
