We don't like to hear people al
ways blowing their own horn,
but we are bound to say some
thing about our church. AS
every one knows, this is a new
parish, some three years old.
But should a stranger have visi-
ted US PentecOst Day and seen
two hundred and eighty three
buggieslined upon the streetand
the church and yard full of
people, and heard the excellent
programme rendered by the
choir under the direction of Miss
Emelia Breaux, and seen the
first communion children going
to the railing and heard them
singing the hymns to the Virgin
they would have joined us in
saying "the. coming church of
this part of the State"
We have won in two base ball
games this week. We played
against the Wilmington school
Saturday, the score being % to
g. Then Sunday evening we
played against the Foreman Flat,
in which we we're again victori-
Gus, the score being 16 to IA.
Mrs. J. P. Gnlley, two daugh-
tiers and son, of Lometa, Texas,

Everybody's presence will be ap-
~preciated.

TREATMENT
OF CLARION,
Lafayette, La, June II, 1906

PUBIC may De iHloiul-
ed relative to the true nature OF
Charlton and the best methods to
control and eradicate it, the
Police Jury takes this oppor-
tunity of giving publicity to the
following facts, ID knowledge of
which it trusts, will result bene-
ticially to the live stock interest
of the parish.
1t should be stated IN connec-
ton with the successful treat
ment of Charlton, that the chief
object is to destroy the cOntagion
of the disease; hence the great
necessity of paying strict atten-
ton to sanitary measures.
All varieties of domestic, as
well as our common wild animals.
are susceptible to the disease,
either by infection through the
alimentary tract, or externally
by the skin.
The human subject can easily
become inoculated through alb
rasions of the skin by handling,
and particularly by skinning
charbonous carcasses. Cad or
horse-fiies carry the cOntagiOn
from charbonOus carcasses.
Animals grazing over infected
pastures can contract the dis
ease.
The contagion may be dissem-
mated by running water, by car
nivOrous animals, by the feet of
man, etc.
The disease cannot be success
fully cOmbated by curative
agents, but only by strict SAM
tary measures.
The best known means for
preventing the spread of char
bon are:
First. the proper disposition of
the bodies of all animals that
die of the disease by burning or
deeply burying, previously keep
ing the skin whole, and prevent
ing blood or other discharges
from the natural openings. as the
nostrils, mouth. rectum, etc.
Second, thorough destruction
by burning, or powerful disin-
lection, of manure, litter, and
everything else that has been in
contact with the disease or dead
animals.
Third, preventive incubation
with reliable material early in
the season, using, during the OPP
GRAFTON, strictly antiseptic care;
and carefully following ~instruc-
tions with regard to the use of
the vaccine or lymph, and the
care of the animal until immun-
ity is established.
The skinning of carbOnOus
carcasses is very much to be
deprecated, as such a practice is
not only dangerous to the oper-
ator, but the hides are a fruitful
means of spreading anthrax
through the infected blood they
contain.
Relative to preventive vaccine,
it is Of the utmost Importance
that it should be fresh and reli-
able, and that all those handling
it, whether dealers in it, or stock
owners, should follow carefully
the Instructions necessary for
its preservation and reliability.
If this is not done. the vaccine
will deteriorate, become infected,
and, in fact, be rendered useless
or even dangerous.
Act No. 80 of the Legislative
Session of 1893 reads:

SENSATIONAL
Defense in Gillette Trial
Dramatically Attacks
States Witnesses.
BY Associated Press.

Herkimer, n. Y, Dec. 3.-Contrary
to expectations the Gillette case was
not submitted to the jury tonight as
defendants council addressed the
jury until the hour of adjournment
six p. m. District Attorney Ward
will sum up tomorrow and the case
will probably reach the jury at noon
The closing scene in the Gillette
trial to-day was characterized by a
sensational attack on witnesses for
the state. 1t was dramatically de-
clared that the five physicians who
swore to a blood clot on Grace
Browns brain, swore a falsehood;
that they agreed on common story
for the witness stand and deliberate
ly Withheld testimony favorable to Gil
lette. 1t was also intimated that the
physicians were improperly influenced.
Replying, District Attorney Ward
scathingly denounced the method used
to sway the jury. Former Senator
Mills, for defendant, earlier in the day
argued that Grace Brown had com.
mitted suicide and that his client, Gil
lette, had been unfairly treated.

e. Associated Pyess.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 3.-Princes
Lvoff and Orbeliani, representatives
from Moskow to the famine relief or
ganization furnish the following facts
concerning the conditions in the
famine-stricken provinces:
Crops in certain provinces are a
total failure and in twenty provinces
very poor. Twenty million people
need assistance until the new crops
are available, to ward off starvation.
In some regions the inhabitants have
been suffering from starvation for ten
years and passable crops were gath
cred only two years in the decade.
Prince Lvoff believes the govern
ment estimate of fifty million dollars
for famine relief is inadequate. The
Moskow organization calculates that
seventy million, possibly more, will
be necessary.
Lvoff confirms the report that girls
in the Kaxan province are being sold
into slavery and taken to Mohomedan
harems.

At the former trial, at the conclu-

was adduced relative to the cause for
which Manuel Jordmons had been
struck or beaten by Woods Superin-
tendent Gallagher, nearly all wit

TUG NELLIE

BIG ToWBOAT OF THE DUNWODY
FLEET is AT LAST IN NATUR-

The tug Nellie. one of the largest
and finest of the Dunwody-Aiken fleet
is at last afiOat, and the vessel is now
at her wharf and within a few days
the repairs will be completed and the
vessel will then be ready to again go
into commission.
The task of floating the Nellie was
the hardest of any of the towboat
feet beached by the hurricane. She
was not only driven far ashore. but
at a point surrounded by trees and
stumps, which made 1t very difieult
to get her to the waters edge. Az
ter she reached the water it was nee
essary to dredge a channel nearly a
quarter of a mile in length in order
to get the tug to deep water Almost
since the day of the storm workmen
have been steadily engaged in the
work of floating the tug, and the re-
pairs necessary, with few exceptions
were made while the tug was on the
beach.

CANNOT COMPEL
TRAINS TO STOP
State Railroad Commission
ers Get a Black Eye from
Supreme Court.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. Sin decision
to-day by the federal supreme court
it was held that railroad commissions
cannot compel railroads running
trains from one state to another to
stop at stations designated by the
commission.
The case was that Of the Mississip'
pi commission against the Illinois
Central Railroad to compel certain
through trains to stop at Magnolia
one hundred miles from New Or
leans. The town has three daily
trains to New Orleans, and the de
cision holds that is enough for Mag
nolia.
The railroad company claimed that
the stop would be unnecessary delay
to the United States mails and would
cause disarrangement of schedules.
