Elsewhere in these columns mention is
made of the recent storm that crossed our
parish. Since putting the same in type,
Mr.. ]. B. Wilmington, of Ivan, has sent in
the following report:
Editor Bossier Banner Benton La.
Dear Sir: Crops, gardens and orchards
in this neighborhood suffered much from
the terrific wind, rain and hail storm of
last Saturday night. The storm began
about Z or 80 o'clock, and came from the
west. The hail was very heavy. forming
in drifts two feet deet. | do not know how
wide the storm belt is, but from this place
south for about three miles there was great
destruction.
Replanting of both corn and cotton will
be necessary. The outlook is indeed
gloomy. In planting corn SO late the
chances are the yield will be poor.
Those who have suffered the greatest
losses, so far as can learn, are: Messrs.
E. B. Jockey, Willis Bundy, J. E. Bundy,
A. A. Sheppard, John Fenton, j. F. Adair,
J. E. Young, NJ. Johnson, Whit Diggs, F.

Mrs. Lucy Cornett left this place last
Thursday for her home in San Antonio,
Texas, after spending several months in
Bossier with relatives. She is cousin of
Mrs. R. E. Wyche. of this place, and Mr..
G. W. Smith, of Haughton.
In last weeks issue we stated that B. F.
Avery & Sons, of Shreveport, had offered,
through the Bosser Parish Fair Associa-
ton, one of their s25 walking cultivators
for the greatest yield Of cotton on one acre.
The premium is offered for the greatest
yield of corr, on one acre; not cotton.
Mr.. W. E. Ivey last week shipped from
this place three car loads of alfalfa. We
are told that the average yield of cotton on
the same acreage would not have sold for
near SO much Cat present prices) as did
the alfalfa. And too, alfalfa is usually
cut four or five times in a season.
Rev. W. A. Role, Of Mansfield. who is
now visiting in Benton, delivered an ad-
dress especially for young men at the
Methodist Church Sunday night. Mr..
Role says that it is his hobby to work
among men and especially young men.
The women, he says, are church goers,
and are usually easily taught Bible truths.
His talk was founded upon the Bible,
though he made use of worldly ilustra-
tons. It was full of convincing logic. and
was much appreciated by all present
sexes. His text was taken from the 21st
verse of the 10th chapter of Mark" One
thing thou lackest.'
BOIL WEEyILs PLENTIFUL. All over
Red River bottoms is to be found a weed
that grows very rank and, on account OF
the color Of its blossom, is locally known
as s'yellow top" It is so common that nc
doubt but few of our readers have not seer
acres upon acres of it on the alluvial lands
of the South. The report now reaches this
office that the young weeds are almost lit.
orally full of boil weevils. Our informant
did not offer to suggest how they came tc
be there, but it is our belief that the
weevils of last year entered the dead anc
hollow stalks of the weeds and went dowr
into their roots for protection against colo
and that the young weevils are now com
ing up through the new growth as it fur
nishes both protection and food for thu
present. Perhaps they are not to be fount
in this weed in all localities, but investi
cations should be made. Wouldn't it hell
greatly to burn the weeds?

A DURANGO CASE.
Many More Like II In Durango.

The following case Is but one of
many similar occurring daily in Du-
range. It is an easy matter to verify
its correctness. Surely you cannot
ask for better proof than such con-
elusive evidence.
Frank Anderson OF 983 Fourth av-
enue, Durango. Colo. says: About
thirteen years ago while working In
North Dakota and on one occasion be-
Ing nearly to my shoulders In water
cold enough to chill through and
through, | contracted rheumatism and
was confined to my bed with 1t for a
whole year. My suffering was terrible,

whether l lived or died. The doctor
who treated me was unable to help me
and / became thoroughly discouraged.
| ! was nearly out OF my mind with
pain and became totally disabled from
the use OF drugs. From that time on
I was subject to pain just below the
kidneys and In my left hip extending
down the limb. II would make a mis-
step or jar myself. sharp piercing
pains would catch me which would
cause me to be unable to stir for some
time. To sit long would cause my
back to be stiff and lame when
would attempt to rise. Besides these
difficulties had trouble with the
kidney secretions there being much re-
| tention at times and often smarting
burning sensations accompanying
them. About four years ago while
looking over paper l saw an ad
vertisement about Doan's Kidney pills
and decided to try them. The result
Of my experience was beyond my ex
pectations. simply could not believe
that any remedy could have SO posi-
lively benefited me in SO short a time
The relief afforded from all the diff
culties was remarkable and they have
never failed to meet the appeals

FORAKER SPEAKS.

Mr.. Foraker OF Ohio has the distinc
ton of being regarded as peanut By
an unusually large proportion OF his
fellow citizens. II may be that there
is a good measure of Justification for
their opinion. Certainly his Canton
speech attacking President Roosevelt
bears about the same relation to an
argument to which the people will
| give heed as an understood peanut
bears to a square meal.
| II is fine thing so far as words op
( for Foraker to declare that he will
not be dictated TO by "any boss. big
or little. inside the state or outside
of It," But when thai boss" happens
to be the chosen leader OF the vast
majority OF Americans. and when the
"dfctation" against which Foraker pro
tests is that OF all those Americans II
II Is anything at all. the declaration
OF independence loses all OF its force
And when Foraker denounces a
Roosevelt for becoming personally
engaged In contest to determine his
successor" and finds no precedent for
such an abuse OF power except "the
bad precedent set by Andrew jackson
as to Martin Van Buren," the assault
is ieebler than ever. As matter OF
TACT, the American people did not
ind that their liberties were under.
mined by anything that Jackson did
with reference to Van Buren,. So far
from having dynasty of presidents
determined by each of his predecessor.
we straightway had a great confusion
OF elections, without any dynastic de-
termination at all.
In the present case Theodore Roose.
velt cannot determine his successor,
nut there is n very strong probability
that the American people win urge the
president to give them his opinion
as to who can best carry forward the
work that he has been doing for them.
and that they will rely on his answer.
And the choice will not fall on Fora
ker or on anyone like him That is
sifiicient reason why Foraker should
he sad, but it isn't sufficient reason
to make any outbreak on Foraker's
part sound serious to the people.
Foraker may prove concuslvely that
he has only been against Roosevelt
three times in his career and that he
was right those three times and the
president wrong. 1t is mere trifie.
The only important question for the
people is this: Does Foraker stand
Tor the national policies which Roose-
welt stands for, or doesn't he? Since
he doesn't, he might Just as well
save labor by retiring into the wilder
ness till the next national campaign Is
over,-Record-Herald.
