AN EXTRA SESSION OF THE
LEGISLATURE.

In an open letter Of recent date Hon
F. P. Stubs of Monroe suggests that
an extra session of the General Assem-
bly, be called to provide reforms which
are imperative and are favored by the
majority of the people. Of the desired
reforms is the adjustment of the sever
tax collectorships of New Orleans. th'
curtaiment of the emoluments of tht
office of sheriffs and of clerks of the dis
trict courts, the separation of dual Office:
and other betterments on that line, fo
which constitutional amendments ma,
be provided for ratification at the gen
eral election in April 1908.
If the reforms desired be delayed I'm
til acted upon by the Legislature which
will be convened iii 1908, it will not b.
possible to make effective the reforms
contemplated until 1912.
The suggestion is being considered
favorably by the great majority of tax
PAYERS and therefore the Governo
should not delay in calling the Genera
Assembly for action, regardless of tn
opposition of the Bosses.

whose whereabouts have been unknown
for the past several weeks, drove into

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
Margaret Frances Harrison Shot and
Killed by Her Brother Willie at Home
With Younger Children.

Last night at about 10 80 o'clock VII
lie Harrison, aged l. years, shot ant
killed his sister Margaret Frances, age'
10 years. with pist "a ,.+ home OF
their parents, Mr. and Aie- j. II. Har-
rson, Iz56 Texas avenue.
The brother and sister thought they
heard burglar trying to break in, whel
Willie secured the pistol. Having beer
reassurcd that there was 10 burglar
tol, when he stopped and playfully
aimed it at the head OF his sister
who was sitting at the window watching
To Wilie's horror the pistol was dis
charged, the bullet crashing through her
head, and she fell dead
Willie and Margaret and the younger
children were at home with friend
Sam Riley, boy, while their parents
were visiting their married daughter
down town.
An investigation disclosed that there
was only one cartridge i'll the pistol
when he pointed it at his sister. The
other cartridges had been removed.
On being Informed of this calamity,
the grief of the parents may be Irnag-
ined. They hurried home to find in death
their beloved daughter whom they had
left in the fullest enjoyment of good
health.
This is one of the distressing ana
heart-rending accidents which moves
human beings to pity heartfelt for the
unfortunate.
1t is said that Willie was stunned with
this unexpected and most dcplorable ac-
cident and is still dazed He is indeed a
subject for sympathy. How overwhem-
ing must be his grief when the full real
ization of the death of his sister dawns
upon him.
Mr. Harrison is ranked with the good
citizens of Shreveport and he is held in
the highest esteem by all who know him
i'll this city. 1t is crushing blow to his
good wife Indeed, in their misfortune
the bereaved have the fullest sympathy

Mrs. G. G. Bunce, formerly

H"My sister, OF Lake City, L.,
first called my attention to
Doan's Kidney Pills. She used
them for bacllache and other
symptoms of kidney trouble
and recommended them so
highly that went to G. S. Os-
borne's drug store for a box.
In my case the benefit received
has been just as pronounced as
in my sisters. To say | look
