Falls Dead.

Louis Husser, a prominent mill op-
orator. of Husser, fell dead Monday
morning of heart disease while re-
turning to his home from court. De
ceased is survived by wife and
large family of children. The clrcum-
stances of Mr.. Husser's death were
unusually sad. 1t seems several years
ago Louis Husser and his eldest son
had some business transaction WIN
the late Martin Haney, which m
volved note amounting to some hve
or six hundred dollars. Mr.. Haney
held the note, which i'll the course ct
time was paid by Louis Husser 5 soh'
the father being the only witness To
the payment. In some way probably
through an oversight, Husser was not
given credit for the payment, and az
ter Martin Haney's death the estate
sued Husser for the amount involved
The case came up for trial Monday
Louis Husser was just recovering
from a severe attack of measles
which had evidently affected his heart
He came TO town Monday morning
and gave his testimony in the case
and was on his way home when he
| dropped dead OF heart failure.

Cant Make Failure.

Although the State corn crop as
well as the cotton crop, upon Angola
farm, in West Feliciana, has SUI
fered severely from the adverse wea-
ther conditions, and the crop outlook
is not extremely promising, the State
has a splendid crop of corn on Hope
Plantation and also a good stand of
corn on Oakley and Monticello plan
tations, below Baton Rouge. The
Board Of Control of the State Pen!-
tertiary has the farms so arranged
and the crops so planted that 1t IS
next to impossible for the State ;o
make an entire failure upon its crops
and conditions will have to be unpre'
cedented for all Of the crops to 5t
a failure. This year the weather ha'
been hard upon the cotton crop ant
upon Angola, which is the principa
cotton farm of the Board, the outlOol
is not bright for very profitable
yield. On the cane plantations, how
ever, the two, one a short distance
below the city, and Hope, in lber
Vile Parish, splendid cane crops ar
being raised, and the loss in cOttoI
will be offset in cane if the presen
prospects continue.

in Baton Rouge on Tuesday, June %
at which time the additional apphca-
tions for pensions that have been re
ceived since the last session. thres
months ago, will be examined. and
those that are found TO be worthy
will be allowed. Up to the present
Secretary Brian has $50 applications
for pensions, and this number will be
materially increased during the next
week, so that it is estimated that by
June % there will he at least 20
and possibly 800 applications for pen
sions from old Confederate soldiers
and their widows. Since the Board re-
ceives its additional Appropriation from
the Legislature of $l5O,OOO, the ap-
plications for pensions have been
coming in steadily. At every quarter
meeting the Board of Examiners 60
through a big batch of applications,
weed out the unworthy ones, and ap'
proved those that are worthy, and the
next session of the Board finds an
other big batch of applications on file
again. There is nothing to come be,
fore the Board at its meeting on the
25th Of this month except the appro'
val or rejection of the pension appli
cations.

ed trip through the different dis

methods Of other states in the union
and the valuations placed upon Ger
tain character of lands. 1t has beer
period nf information gathering fol
the State Board, and the memDe"
