THE DRUMMERS TICKET.
Picayune Gives Man from Lafa-
vette u Nice 'sSend Off,

The Picayune of August o..
gives a handsome write up OF the
drummers' State ticket sugges-
ted by Yankee" Nicer, editor
and proprietor of the Lecompte
Drummer. Mr.. Dave Pelletier.
of LAFAYETTE, is named for State
Superintendent of Education,
and this is the nice "send off,
the Dicayune gives him:
Everyone will say, 'Hurrah
for Dave Pelletier, a Creole
proper of La Belle Louisiana. "
Dave has nothing to carry in the
way of samples over the road he
traverses. He takes stock OF
his Creole language and it gets
him anything he goes after. He
is natural born getter. 1t was
no wonder he was thought out
for the office of superintendent
of education. He has been wait
ing for the day when he could re.
| introduce in the curriculum OF
the public schools the real
thought and depth that lives in
the creole patois, the language
which was for the making OF the
first and everlasting laws of this
State. If Dave gets chance at
you on this question you are a
convert and that's all there is tc
| it.

IS STILL ON
No Agreement Reached AS Yet,
But Week r1ay- See End of
Garments Strike.

There are no new developments
in the Garments strike. Mon
days States gives the status of
affairs in New Orleans as follows:
The strike of the car repairers in the
Algiers shops is still on, with the prob
ability of settlement within the week.
1t is possible that conference will be
held this afternoon at the Offices OF the
company at Natchez and Magazine
streets. The carmen and the officials
parted amicably at the last meeting
and this holds out hopes that an agree
ment will shortly be reached.
The Joint Protective Board held a
special session this morning at its
rooms in the Commercial Hotel. 1t is
said that the object of the meeting was
to pass on a new contract which is to
be presented at the next conference
with the Southern Pacific officials.
The contract is said to be on the line
of the other with some slight mOdifica.
tions-not the surrender of any of the
demands, but a few additions to these.
Neither side will give out any in
formation now as to the present
status of the matter. The Southern
Pacific officials stated this forenoon
that they did not know of any confer.
ence to be held this afternoon.

THE OIL MILL.
Mum ber' of Improvements
Added and Capacity of Plant
Increased. General Re.
pairs Made.

An Advertiser reporter visited
the Peoples Cotton Oil Co.'S. plant
last week and was kindly shown
through by Manager Felix Voor
hies.
Since closing last season a
number of improvements have
been made, which will facilitate
the work and increase the capac-
ity of the plant. A 200 horse
power Corliss engine was pur-
chased and in placing it Mr..
Voorhies took advantage of the
opportunity to enlarge the engine
room and rearrange the dynamos
and other machinery so as to
provide the utmost convenience:
General repairs were made all
over the plant and in the cooking
room additions were made so as
to practically double the capaci-
ty in most economical manner.
The plant is entirely lighted by
electricity furnished by it's own
dynamos.
An interesting and exceedingly
useful device is used to prevent
nails and such falling into the
gin. Across the feed board OF
each gin there are two bands OF
iron forming a positive and mega
pole. These are connected with
a powerful magnet in the engine
room, and while the plant is in
operation are strong magnets
so that as the cotton passes over
the magnetized bars every piece
of metal is seized with the invisi
BILE bonds of magnetism and held
firmly until removed. AS a re-
suit of this device the danger OF
! fire in the gins is practically
eliminated.
The plant is now in ship shape
and ready for a big season.

WILL HANG FRIDAY.
Howard Shows Signs of Appre-
ciating His Fate. New Con-
fession rlade Last Week.

Next Friday Dave Howard will
be hung for the murder of Jos.
L. Breaux. a Syrian peddler. on
the night of May %. The scat
fold has been erected just inside
the front door by Emes & Alex
ander, and everything is ready
for the execution which will take
place between noon and 3 p. m.
of the oath. Only few witnesses
will be admitted, the law re-
curing five and limiting the
number to fifteen. Howard
during the last week has shown
signs of appreciatinghis fate. but
has not perceptibly weakened
and will probably go to the gal
lows firm.
Ever since the death sentence
was passed and his doom GER
tain Jailer Saul Broussard has
treated him extra we'll, feeding
him high and giving him plenty
to drink and smoke. Monday he
requested Mr.. Broussard to get
his meals at the hotel and he did
so, as for the few days he had to
live, Mr.. BrOussard wanted him
to have what he craved.
Last Thursday when Mr..
Alexander began the erection of
the gallows, Howard became
somewhat excited and called for
Sheriff Lacoste to whom he made
another confession. He gave
his true name as Dave Emsly
and said he was born on the
Sicily place near Donaldsonville.
He stated that he had shot a
negro, Adam Traveller, six years
ago in St. James parish and
Henry Morgan in ST. Johns
parish five years ago. Had stab
bed a negro woman in Jefferson
parish and a sporting woman in
White Castle, both of whom
died. He had made criminal as
saults upon six negro women
and three whites in Ascension,
Baton Rouge, Alexandria and
Opelousas. He had committed
many robberies in different
places which he had forgotten.
Sheriff Lacoste will endeavor to
verify his confession.

Big find OF
MOLYBDENUM

A find OF molybdenum ore that
may prove of great value to the
discoverers, is owned by three
young men of western Nevada,
Jerome Higgins and James
Henry of Reno, and Frank Saxton
of Carson, who returned a few
days ago from near Bridgeport,
Cal, where they have been doing
their assessment work and Incl
IDENTIFY developing the property on
a small scale. They had with
them some beautiful samples of
ore which is richly spotted with
molybdenate of lead in its native
state. Many of the specimens
give high values but the true value
of the mine has not been ascertain
ed owing the fact that there are
few paying mines in America pro-
ducing this mineral.

Theophile Champagne, an ole
resident of Carson, was this well
adjudged insane by two examining
physicians of Carson.

mentally for some time and the
tragic death of his son, Arthur
some time ago at the State Uni

disease. He is not violent but il
is feared that he may become Sc

it would be best to take him to the

this sad climax, but hope that he
may improve with proper treat
ment and ultimately recover.

WILL RENT FARMS

The H. F. Dangberg Land d
Live Stock Campany has decided
to offer for sale or lease large or
small tracts of land, all with a
perfect water right. In this is in
cluded not only hitherto unre-
claimed land, but land which has
been under cultivation. 1t is de-
sired to have a large number of
farmers to each carry ON the work
on a small scale, because it is felt
that small farmers can reach the
best results. However, no objec-
ton will be made to those who
wish to take large aeras of land.

The idea is 10 get the people and
to cultivate the land.
The effects of this scheme will be
almost incalcuble. 1t has long
been felt that Carson Valley could
support much greater population,
and that her land is Capable OF
giving even better returns than
have thus far been yielded. Here
is an opportunity to acquire some
of the best land with water rights
absolutely guaranteed. 1t is ex-
pected that business conditions
will be better than even before in
the history of the county.
