in SELF-DEFENSE
S. E. Eaves Shot and Killed w. E. Will
son, His Father-in-Law.

At his home near Mira Friday even
ing at about sunset, S. E. Eaves, a
farmer, shot and killed W. E. Wilson,
his father-n-law. Eaves surrendered to
Deputy Ogburn and soon after reaching
this city yesterday had preliminary ex-
animation before Judge Murff The
prisoner was accompanied by his wife,
a daughter of the deceased.
In substance the homicide occurred
over a calf which belonged to neigh
Dor and which was in Wilson's pen
1t appears that when the owner of the
calf inquired as to its whereabouts, that
Eaves told him it was in Wilson's pen,
which irritated Wilson into murderous
resentment. He threatened to kill his
son-in-law, and as he approached he fired
several shots at Eaves, who retired into
his home and secured double barrel
shotgun, which he fired with fatal eff
feet AS Wilson lay outstretched on
the ground he held with firm grip the
pistol, full cooked, from which he had
fired several shots at caves From the
evidence adduced, it was a clear case of
self-defense Eaves was discharged, and
with his wife returned home on yester
day afternoons train

NEWS In BRIEF
A Budget of Interesting Items Gathered
by a Caucasian Representative

Mrs. George H. Hecker, the recently
appointed deputy factory Inspector of
the State of Missouri, is woman that
carries heart and soul into her work.
She served as special deputy and
without salary for almost year pre-
vious to her regular appointment by
Factory Inspector Jesse w. Skies. Il
linois has woman deputy Inspector as
a result of Mrs Heeker demonstrating
that woman can accomplish more in
certain phases of the work than can
man. While serving assspecial deputy
without remuneration, Mrs. Hecker
brought about many reforms, and made
herself a valuable adjunct to the de-
partment of the inspector. Previous to
her joining the forces of the State fac
tory inspector, Mrs Hecker was an Of
ficer of the Missouri Humane Society, in
which capacity she earned name for
faithfulness to duty, and unrelentness to
those found guilty of abusing children
or animals. She was woman feared
and almost hated by the owners of
horses throughout the city, and yet at
tached to a petition asking for her APP
pointment as factory Inspector are the
names of number of men whom she
has prosecuted in the courts.
Louisiana ranks perhaps ahead OF
Missouri in the appointment of a wom-
an as factory inspector, as Miss Jean
Gordon of New Orleans was appointed
State factory Inspector more than year
ago She is actively carrying on her
work and already has filed number OF
indictments. She is woman of fine
intelligence, great sympathy and uil-
bounded energy. Her broad thought and
intelligent work will bring about many
needed reforms.

AT THE CLOSED DOOR.

The old love kissed you and went by;
Without the new love stands,
With roses red to crown your head,
New roses in their hands.
| know not if she heard at all;
| only know she bent
Above the withered blooms she held
As one too well content.
In this your home grown desolate
The chills of winter cling;
The new love waits without your gate
To lead you back to spring,
know not if she heard at all :;
only know she turned
Her hands above the empty hearth,
As though the ashes burned.
The new love singing went away,
Across the blossomed lands
A little lad with spring time glad
And roses in his hands.
| know not if she card at all
| only know she pressed,
AS mothers might little child,
The dead rose to her breast.

MAIDEN MEREDITH.

The birthday of little 2-year-old Mer-
edith Flournoy, the sweet babe of Mr.
and Mrs. ]. P. Flournoy, was celebrated
at Princess Park Friday afternoon. The
beautiful velvety green lawn over which
forty children sported in the exuberance
of happiness, was picture OF delight.
The larger children enjoyed games on
the play grounds, and the babies fitted
here and there like beautiful light
winged butterflies. In the pavilion were
tables and seats where cream and cakes
were served and amber punch. Beauti-
full gifts from little friends were
brought and gave the touch of magic
and mystery that always come with
birthdays to the little folk of child
world Evening came on and the big
golden red summer sun sank to rest be-
hind banks of blue Little feet grew
weary, and homeward the happy hearted
children went, to dream the dreams of
innocence and faith. The great, wide
beautiful world is fairy land to them,
where live forever Little Red Riding
Hood Beauty and the Beast and all
the heroes of song and story.
A wish for you, maiden Meredith
May the years unroll in long golden
lines of love and light, and your baby
laugh, sweet as the song of birds, be
caught up with all the notes of love that
earth gives to heaven, and made an i'm
mortal song, to echo sweet and change
less in your loving heart through all the
years to come.

PRINCESS PARK.

Princess Park, with its big cool pavil-
ion, its great sweep of velvety lawn, its
trees and flowers, its pretty lake and
Fairgrounds, is the favorite resort these
summer afternoons and evenings. Club
entertainments, children's parties and
dances, all take place at the park. The
real enjoyment afforded by this beauti-
full little city park is being appreciated
more and more, and its location makes
it convenient from several approaches
over paved street. The president of the
Park association and her committee
with watchful eye see that it is always
beautifully kept and ready for use Ii
is open to the public at all times. Prof
Mauthe's instruction to classes began
June II and will continue until Septern-
Der II.

THE HUMANE SOCIETY

1t was the purpose of the Shreveport
Humane Society, on completing its or
ganlzation, to appoint paid officer
whose duty shall be to watch for of
lenses and report them. Nothing has
been reported by such an officer, and
probably that officer has not yet been
appointed. The need for protection OF
animals is great at this season, when
over-worklng and summer heat lead to
prostration. Cruelty to animals is, shame
to say, of every day occurrence.
: A watchful, fearless officer is needed,
and we trust one will be appointed with
out delay.

FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
THE NEXT DISTURBANCE
The Highs and the Lows Will Be Very
Large and Will Affect Whole Cont
nent, but Move Eastward Near the
Fortieth Parallel of Latitude

copyrighted 1907 by w T. Foster }
Washington, June 22-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent Fl to IS, warm wave 20 tc
"a, cool wave % to ~. The next dis
turbance will reach the Pacific coast
about IS, cross west of Rockies country
by close of 10, great central valleys p
to 20, eastern states 80. Warm wave
will cross west of tie Rockies about rs
great central valleys II, eastern states
20. Cool wave will cross west of the
Rockies about %, great central valleys
&c. eastern states July 2.
This disturbance will be of great
force during its entire movement across
the continent from the Pacific to the
Atlantic coasts and dangerous storms
will probably develop at several places
along its line of eastward drift
The highs and lows of this disturb
ance will be very large and therefore
will affect the whole continent, but their
cefiters are expected to move eastward
near parallel 40. The weather will be
unusually hot on most parts of the con-
tinent before the center of the low passes
and unusually cool after it has gone by.
This disturbance will bring rains to
one-fourth or one-third of the United
States and Canada east of the Rockies
and some indications of the coming
drouth will be seen in the sections where
rains do not fall from this storm wave.
About date of this bulletin and inn
mediately following June 22 very warm
and stormy weather may be expected,
but not much rain till the approach of
the next storm wave affects the weather.
Next bulletin will give general fore
casts OF July crop-weather. July and
August are the corn making months and
will largely determine what the corn
crop of 1907 will be.
The Chicago Drovers Journal has an
immense circulation in the great central
valleys and is all authority among agri-
cultural and live stock interests. In its
issue Of June E it editorially says: IF
the United States Weather Bureau can
not explain natures freaks, w. I. Fos-
ter, the long-range forecaster of Wash
ington, 2. c., can. His theories should
carry considerable weight, for he has
been very successful in predicting
weather conditions this spring, even for
a month ahead of time Readers who
have followed the Foster weather bull
letins know that all through the months
of April and May he has forecasted the
conditions almost perfectly. The peo-
pie are not ready to receive long range
weather forecasts as an absolute surety,
but when forecasters are as successful
as Prof Foster, it will be but a question
Of time when more people will look TO
thest for guidance. y
The Minneapolis (Minn.) Progress in
a recent issue says: For real explanaA
tons of weater changes, read Fosters
forecasts. The Weather Bureau seems
afraid to recognize his work
