Harrison Oil-Gas Stove made by the
Cincinnati firm is the only perfect burner

Because air is the only free fuel and no
trust in control inventors have tried for
years to find a way by which properties
could be drawn from the atmosphere and
used as fuel for general household pur-
obtainable.
To Cincinnati genius heretofore un-
known to fame must go the credit of
solving this great question. Understand,
you cannot burn air absolutely alone, but
this new air generator actually takes it's
fuel almost entirely from the atmosphere
so much as to take in 1895 barrels of air
while consuming one gallon of oil.
The time has come at last when our
readers are no longer compelled to con-
tinually drudge in hot fiery kitchens with
coal and wood fires SO ruinous to health
and looks, for every family who desire
can cook, bake and heat with oil and air
gas the wonderful new fuel which fire.
quently saves from one-third to one-half
on fuel bills. What blessing this is to
women folks, who for the first time in
their lives can say, no more coal or wood,
nor deadly gasoline to burn and kill, nor
smoky oil wick and valve stoves.

last week took out the dams in Bayou

Last week the residents of that ward

OF LEAGUE
Ladies nuSt Pay.

Wednesday a meeting of repre-
sentatives from the various clubs in
the Gulfcoast League mel in Lafay-
cite to consider a number of matters
in connection with the League. but
principally the ~advisability of having
Monroe withdraw from the league on
account of the heavy expense entailed
on all the clubs in going there to
play. Mcssrs. Gill of Lake Charles,
Rogers of Orange: Kirkman of Mon
roe, Auslet of AleXandria. Fon-
tenot of Opelousas and Clark
of this city were present. After con-
siderable discussion a compromise was
agreed on by which it was believed
that the expense for transportation
could be largely met, so that Mon
roe could remain in the league, by
charging ladies a general admission
fee to be divided as other revenues
were divided.

The Good of Drainage.

In assuming charge of the
public roads in the 3rd ward, the
Citizens Road Building Associa-
ton commenced devoting special
attention to the proper drainage
of the roads from the very be-
ginning. The wisdom of such a
course was we'll proven in the re-
cent inordinate and incessant
rain falls. Long stretches of
the roads were completely mum
dated and would have suffered
extensive damage if not relieved
of the water covering them be-
fore the water had time to soak
into the ground. AS it was
thanks to good drainage, the
roads were not injured and no
serious interruption to travel was
caused during the entire period
of excessive rainfall lasting
several weeks.

to ladies to all the baseball games
hereafter, except on certain DAYS,
which have been set aside as ladies'
day when no charge will be made.
These days are shown on the posters
giving schedule of games to be played
here, being designated by italics.
The heavy expense of maintaining
the club makes it ~imperatively neces-
sary to make this charge for ladies.
Further, the attendance has not been
as large as it should have been and
the association is running behind.
The games are a splendid advertise
ment of the town and for that reason
the patronage ought to be sufficient to
pay expenses.
The next series of games Will begin
Saturday, the 22nd, and will consist
of five straight games with Orange
and four with Alexandria,. Everybody
should attend, Lafayette has a good
team and there will be some fiue ball
playing.
