MurderinQ Mating Ducks.

If you saw a man flashing the blossoms off fruit trees, you would conclude him to be either crazy or desirous of destroying the fruit crop for that year, says the Saturday Evening Post. If he were running his own orchard, people might merely stare in wonder or in pity, but if he assailed the orchard of any one else in such destructive manner, he probably would land in the local jail before he had been at work long. Now, killing ducks in the spring is in effect upon the birds, similar to threshing the fruit trees of their blossoms; one de- stroys the crop of ducks, the other destroys the crop of fruit. Spring time killers of ducks keep out of jail because wild fowl are no man s property, and the National Govern ment has not yet been put in con- trol of our migratory game birds as it should be, and as, sooner or later, it will be.

Alady had an amusing experience in Monroe street car. The car was empty, with the exception of one man, and he was the reverse of the car. Asshe entered he rose, made her an unsteady but magnificent bow, and said, Madam, please be kind enoughto accept thish plashe." Rather than offend the man, there was nothing else for her to do, so she thanked him and sat down. And for seven blocks he hung from the strap, swaying in the breeze, with not soul in the car but the two. The lady says it is frequently that she is taken for other women, but never be- re had any one thought she was a car- full.

Important Case Decided.

A case of unusual interest to the peonle of this parish was tried and decided during the last session of court here. The case being w. B. Thompson & Company against the Union Saw Mill Company, in which w. B. Thompson and Company through their attorneys, Elder and Moore of this place and J. E. Clay ton of Ruston, attacked the validity of timber option held by the Union Saw Mill Company upon certain timber and lands of w. B. Thompson and Company in this parish. The option was originally given to John A. McShcne, trans ferred by him to the Pine Hill Lum- Der Company and by them to the Union Saw Mill Company, and is one of the many options that has caused so much discussion through out the parish as to whether it is CT is not a binding contract. Judge Dawkins gave it as his opinion that the contract was good, inasmuch as the building of the Farmerville and Southern Railroad had been the main consideration and that the road was builtae stipulated; further more that the holders of the options had filed their acceptance of the contracts, agreeing to carry them out as Written.-Farmerville Gaz- cite.

 Tests with the government sub marine boats that have just been concluded at Newport, indicate that this class of vessel has de- veloped to the point where it is no longer mere forlorn hope, death risking desperate contrivance, but legitimate arm of the service that will have to be definitely reckoned with in future naval wars and in na- val building programs. The two boats that have been tested have not only shown speed on the sur face and under it but ability to stay down for 24 hours at time with out inconvenience to their crews.
 They have shown that the United Statesis in possession of as effective submarine vessels as any power in the world, and they indicate strongly that the American coast will be mighty unhealthy region for any hostile fleet to navigate in should there arise the unfortunate contin- gency of another foreign war.

WILL TRY SCIENTIFIC FARMING,
A Number Of Farmers are Going to Cooperate
 With Goyerment Experiment. Station.

W. J. Apple, of Little Rock, the special agent and epresentative of the cotton and corn demonstration department of the government ex- perimental station at Lake Charles, La, was in this end of Union coun- ty last week seeking co-operators among the farmers. The purpose of this department of the experi- ment station is to make practical demonstrations of the scientific methods employed by our govern ment, right in our midst and on our own farms. Their method in making these demonstrations is to get some of the leading farmers in each neighborhood to agree to put in certain number of acres in any selected crop they may desire, and to plant, fertililize, cultivate and manage the crop according to the instructions sent out by the experi- ment station, and to keep a record and make report to the depart ment of their success. The Gov ernment spends thousands of dol lars each year in her efforts to aid the farmer, in discovering the best methods of farming, and has funds of valuable information which the farmer can get for the asking. They can get valuable free information, on diseases of all animal and veg etable life, together with treatise on soil, fertilizers, etc.

noticed that the water was coming in over

been loading -four 800 or 600 tons of

the officers, who were at dinner, hurried
to their stations All hands manned the
pumps, but it was too late to save the
Empress from sinking, and everyone went
ashore. BY s o'clock the port stern was

ROBBERS TAKE $4,000.
Express Office in Milwaukee Loses
by Mysterious Theft.

Eighteen thousand dollars, according to
a report emanating from authentic
sources, was stolen shortly before II
o'clock Wednesday night from the offices
of the United States Express Company
above the Union depot in Milwaukee.
The affair is a mystery. d. G. s. Boyle,
agent for the company in Milwaukee. was
persistent in his refusal to discuss the
matter, declining either to affirm or deny
the rumor. After continued questioning
he admitted that something is wrong,
but beyond this he would say nothing.
From other sources, however, it was
learned that a big sum of money, placed
in sacks. was deposited Wednesday even
ing by the company in its Office above the
depot. 1t was in transit to various
banks in Oshkosh, and was left in the
Office with the intention of having 1t
transferred to a north-bound train a short
time later. According to one version OF
the affair, entrance to the Office was OBJ
tanned through a rear door aud the rob
berry committed while the persons who
were supposed to be on watch were not
looking. Three of the sacks were ripped
open and the contents taken. The first
intimatiOn that robbery occurred came
with the discovery of the mutilated and
empty sacks on the floor. Employe after
employee was called in and questioned, but
no light on the robbery, so far as could
be ascertaned, was obtained.
