Attracted by the shooting the eld-

DR.. Kirby and his brother were

Pure Food Legislation.

In the opinion Of officials who have
been investigating the outlook, pans
are being aid with great skill for the
passage through congress of legisla-
ton designed to modify and weaken
in important respects the present
pure food legislation. 1t is believed
that this effort will be largely pro-
NOTED by borax, benzoate Of soda and
sulphur using interests, and that it
will be intended to provide distinctly
for the larger and less restricted en-
ployment of all of these products
Probably combination will be made
between those who are thus repre-
sented and the whisky interests, who
are dissatisfied with the labelling de-
cisions Of the board of food and drug
inspection and Of the attorney gen.
eral.

Cabinet Changes.

In consequence of several recent
incidents, active discussion of the
political prospects Of the coming
eighteen months has been revived
among the politicians and principal
oficeholders now in Washington.
Speeches by Mr.. Taft and Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the developments
within the cabinet have combined to
create conditions which will probably
produce interesting complications dur
ing the fall.
In spite of the imminence of the
presidential campaign possible
changes in the cabinet have a more
direct interest to officeholders and
to the average congressman. The
general opinion is that the next few
months will witness another of the
cabinet reconstructiops which have
been so frequent during the past few
years.

BAD PACKING OF GOODS.
American Methods Not Up To Stand

New York-Traffic managers of

cided to make an united effort to i'm

An example Of bad packing Of Amer

to which 222 separate pieces Of stain

shipment arrived it was found that
out Of the entire lot only sixteen
pieces were free from damage.
As the church in which they were

NO UNSURVEYED
LAND ON RECORD
IN STATE OF LOUISIANA CAN
BE FOUND.
CHANGES in THE CABINET
Are Regarded AS Certain Commit
tee on Appropriation VIII Visit
the Canal for Heart to Heart Un-
derstanding.

Washington.-If any person knows
of an acre of unsurveyed public land
in the state Of Louisiana the general
land Office would like to hear from
him, with a description of the land.
For twenty years or more the an
nual reports of the land Office have
referred to $4,000 acres of unsurvey-
ed land in Louisiana most Of which
was supposed to be in the northern
part Of the state around Natchitoches,
Judge Watkins, who represents the
Natchitoches district in congress, Sc
cured an appropriation of $4,000 for
the survey of this land. The land
Office set to work on the record and
patiently and persistently the clerks
searched the records but they were
unable to find that so much as a
square foot of Louisiana had not
been surveyed. They then under
took to trace the 65,000-acre item,
which has appeared in the annual re-
ports, to discover by what error II
crept into the records. AT length
the officials came to the conclusion
that the so-called unsurveyed lands
consisted really of the beds of lakes,
rivers and bayous that had been
drained. A further examination Of
the Natchitoches district proved that
this was the land, and therefore it
does not belong to the federal gov
eminent, but to the state Of Louis
lana or the riparian owners.
The land Office mailed notices to
officials and land owners in Louisiana
some months ago, requesting a de-
tailed description of any parcel Of
land which is thought to belong to
the United States and to be unsur-
yeyed. Not one response has been
received.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The road to success has .iany buy
ways.
When a mans popularity begins to
wane his neighbors usually get busy
and assist.
After a man gets to be about SO
old all the romance has oozed out Of
his system.
The world is full of foolish people
who are unable to see things from
our point of view.
Time gets away from an old man
almost as quickly as money gets away
from young one.
It's a wonder the tight squeezing
in Wall Street doesn't excite the envy
Of the corset trust.
The average man thinks he will
have plenty of time for everything If
he winds up his watch every day.
A woman always wants to be a
mans friend so he can do something
for her to prove that he is glad Of
1t.
In after years a spinster may have
cause to congratulate herself on the
number OF times she didn't get mar
ried.
When people say of dead man.
HE is better Off, it's pity he isn't
in a position to appreciate his good
luck.
All the worlds a stage. and each
of the actors thereon seems to think
it is up to him to act as his own press
agent.
Fame is so avfully slow that when
1t finally does come to the average
man 1t is compelled to roost on his
monument.
