Toozes Win, 2-1.

Ihe game July 4tn was the iastest
game played here this season when
the Minneapolis Toozes took a game
from the Reds by the narrow mar
gin of one score in 2 and game.
1t was in the ninth that the visitors
won the game by a single score
which would have been retired at
second but for an error, and robbed
the 1000 spectators OF seeing at
the least a ten inning game.
DR.. Hillebrand was ON the mole
for the Reds and held the Tooze
sluggers to seven hits, while the
Reds were swinging at Domonick
for four hits.
The game was on with Toozes at
bat and the first two could not find
the spot DOC" was laying them in
and they remained on the bench:
the next gave johnson chance who
accepted it and Spike" reached
first after Homer had the ball. 1t
was battle in the second to stop a
score with a man on third and one
second and none down. This posi-
was gained by the Toozes of a two
Dagger and single. Two men
melted before "Doc's" curves and
the next by fly to center.
Thompson led the batting list for
Webster and walked. Tree fol-
lowed to the sack on an error which
also advanced Chief to second
who went out at third in force by
batted ball by H. Hillebrand.
Burns batted to short-stop who cut
Tree on at third but was too slow
for possible double. johnson
struck out retiring the side. In the
seeond, after two were out, Doc
came in for bit and stole second

THE COTTON SITUATION.

The smart "Alecks," "wise
business men" of the South who
laugh at an honest effort being
made to get the true value of
cotton this fall, or IS cents per
pound, point jeerlngIy to the
failure 10 get that price in the
winter OF 1905. The failure to
get Il cents for the balance OF
the unsold portion of the crop
of 1905 was not due to the fact
that spot cotton was not worth
rs cents. 1t was due to the
unfortunate tact that at that time
the whole South was honey
combed with "wire houses and
"bucket shops" and to the fur
ther fact that thousands OF farm
ers did not at that time rcalizc
tlSu StIcuPln.
The representatives of the
"bucket shop" interests, aided
and allotted by hundreds OF local
cotton buyers, plead with the
farmers and succeeded in the
local gambling dens of the small
towns and cities OF the South.
The result was what the specu-
lators and buyers were praying
tor. A heavy avalanche of spot
cotton came on the markets at
IA to IL Ia cents to supply
demands and an enormous
long weak interest created in
the bucket shops and exchanges
of the country. This condition
was ideal for the Bearsh specu-
lator and as the market was
"stop loss orders
were encountered, and soon the
bottom dropped out. But the
wire houses, bucket shops and
big exchanges paid dearly for
that victory, The operators OF
those local dens of iniquity have
been driven out of the country
md never more can their fine
Italian hands be used to check
late a fair and honest effort
made by the South to get the
rue value OF the cotton crop

THE LEVEES.

New Orleans, Aug. A.
Owing to the fact that the levees
on both sides of the Atchatalaya
have been steadily building up
for the past few years planters
in St. Martin and Iberia Par
ishes have experienced consid-
cradle annoyance from overflow,
and in several instance the rear
portions OF plantations have
been several inches under water.
This has caused the planters
OF those parishes to bestir them
selves and to see what could be
done TO remedy the situation.
In response to their request
Gen. Arsene Perrillat of the
State Board OF Engineers, and
also upon the request OF the
members OF the Atchafalaya
Basin Levee District, will short
ly make All inspection of that
district tor the purpose OF gath
ering data on the subject.
Last year at the high water
stage lands in the AtchatsIays
basin overlooked to consider
able extent. Upon investiga
ton it was found that in pro
portion as the Ievees on each
side OF the stream were built
the volume OF water in the
stream would increase with each
succeeding year until planters
had TO keep their drainage
pumps going. The Ievees on
one side OF the river are built by
the Atchafalaya Levee District
and on the other side OF the
Red River, AtchataIaya and
Bayou Boeuf lcvee boards.
Gen. PerriIliat could not say
positively yesterday when he
would GO to that district, but
said it would be in about four
weeks. He will leave on va
cation of two or three days to-
morrow, being in need OF rest,
and upon his return he will de-
vote himself to the Atchafalaya
district. He has been studying
maps for the past week, and
fully acqualnting himself with
conditions here.
Residents OF those parishes
have been greatly interested in
in the matter tor several months,
and have been urging the At
chaialaya Lcvee Board to do
something. The engineers OF
the State board have seen the
business of the request and have
accordingly interested themsel-
YES. 1t will be Gen. PerrIIiat's
purpose to study the situation
thoroughly with the view OF
making suggestions for levee
Improvement there. Gen. Per-
rilliat said yesterday that in bis
opinion the high water which
overlooked the banks was due
largely TO the extension OF the
levees on either side, by which
means the food stage was heigh-
tered. He said that the State
Board of Engineers would be
glad to take up the matter and
to held prevent any overflow
next season.

Blanchard DOES RIGHT THING.


Baton Rouge, La, aug. 20.
Quite a sensation was created
among the members OF the
State Board of Equalization
yesterday on the departure from
the City of O.P. Clement, asses
sor of Webster Parish, when 1t
became known that the Assessor
had left the city ar the sugges-
ton of Governor Blanchard.
Mr.. Clement is the assessor of
Webster Parish, and has been
in the city off and on for several
weeks during the session of the
Board. It's also reported that
he is interested in company
that owns some pine lands in
Winn and other Parishes, and
that he was here in regard to
the assessment on these lands.
1t was also reported that
Governor Blanchard had told
MIR. Clement that he would
either have to dispose of his in
terests in the pine land company
or resign as Assessor. When
asked in regard to this, Gov
ernor Blanchard repeated that
he had nothing to say.
While Governor Blanchard
would say nothing, it is well
known that he has chatcd great
ly under the continued presence
IN Baton Rouge OF representa-
tlves OF big timber corporations,
and their appearance with at
torneys before the State Board
OF Equalization, seeking to in
huence the Board in the matter
OF assessments to be placed up
on timber lands.
1t is further known that the
Governor advised the members
of the Board * the beginning
Of the session against granting
ex parte hearings of interested
parties, taking that the position
that the members OF the Board
we're elected on the supposltlon
hat they we're veil versed in
he knowledge needed to equal
re assessments of property
throughout the State, and that
til the information and facts
otherwise required could be &C
rom the assessment rolls them
eIves and from the assessors
Who might be brought before
he Board as needed.
Therefore it is believed that
his led him TO take the step
hat he did in regard to Asses
or Clement, Of Webster Par
sh. The Board of Equaliza
ion, however, did not accept
he view of the Governor, and
earrings were held ana special
interests were here before the
Board in regard to assessments.
The Governor, it is under I
TODD, sent tor Assessor Gle :
ient, who, as stated, has been
I, the city off and on for some
me, and inquired il he had :
usiness before the Board or If
ne Board had sent for him to '
scure any information in regard J
D the assessment of Webster :
'arish. On information given a
1e Governor that he was here 0
! the interest of the Company
wninR timber lands in which u
e was a stockholder the Gov 0
-ner advised him to return $
ONE, as his continued presence ;,
as putting the Assessor in a v
ad light and embarrassing the d
ADMINISTRATION. v
MIR. Clement left Baton G.
ouge, but the entire incident
Is created more interest than IL
~ OF the labors OF the Board

New York, Aug. 29.--Dele-
gates to the seventh Interna-
tional Congress OF Zoology, who
are paying uisit to this city,
were surprised and then interest
ed and amused at the sight OF
mosquitoes tour feet long at the
American Museum OF National
History, the savants were max
ing a tour OF the museum when
they encountered the insects,
one being stlngless male and
the other female with a sting
and poison sac. The poison OF
the insects was most llielike, bur
after scrutiny showed that the
giant mosquitoes were made OF
wax and we're scientific models,
and inquiry showed that so
carefully had they been made
that they had been under con-
struction two years by experts.
