FAILURE TO ACCOMMODATE
WILL BE A DISCREDIT.
IT WILL BE A BLACK EYE
To Future Entertainments by Shreve-
port and viii Be Damaging in its Eff
fects Generally-The People of This
City Must Provide Accommodations

The citizens of Shreveport are con-
fronted with a serious problem and the
solution must be supplied or the results
will operate0slisastrously to the credit
and good name of this community,
The State Teachers Association has
been invited to hold their next conven-
ton in Shreveport. The. invitation was
accepted with the assurances that the
teachers would be provided sufficient ac-
commodations during their three days
stay in Shreveport.
Committees of ladies representing va
rious organizations, appointed to canvass
for rooms for these teachers, have re-
ported and with the efforts of the sec
retary Of the Progressive League, Mr..
Brueggerhoff, about six hundred teach
ers may be roomed, which is about one
third of the accommodations required.
There are some citizens who are i'll
clined to find consolation in the antici-
patton that the number of teachers who
will come will be limited. and therefore
believe it unnecessary to provide accom-
mediation for a greater number than
SIX hundred. 1t is imnaterial how mony
teachers should come 1t has been an
nounced that the membership of the as
sociation is about eighteen hundred or
two thousand, AMI the majority of these
have been enthused to come and visit
this city, and from all accounts will come
unless advised to keep away because they
could not be given accommodations i'll
a city boasting of its progress and pos
sibilities, its wealth and its hospitality
Are there not sufficient houses, or
rather homes, where to meet an emer-
gency such as now confronts this city,
TO yield for space of three days and
nights a room to some teachers? Or are
all the homes in Shreveport so crowded
that the latch string has been whacked
off the door and only the members of
the family can be welcomed with some
1t may be true~that some families may
be disinclined to entertain strangers,
but are all the families in Shreveport of
this kind?
This is a serious subject and appeals
to every citizen who would maintain the
good name and reputation of Shreve-
port.
To meet the visitors with welcome
greeting we may be compelled to make
some sacrifice of conveniences, but let
it be borne in mind that the teachers are
worthy the best that Shreveport can
provide, and if Shreveport should fail
i'll its duty Shreveport will be stamped
with discredit from which it may never
recover. 1t will blast forever the repu-
tation of this community for hospitality
and good will. 1t will give a black eye
to Shreveport which will be damaging to
its next Fair and to every effort directed
towards progress. and development. 1t
becomes the duty of every well-wisher
of Shreveport to make any sacrifice to
comfort and give the teachers the enter
tainment and the welcome to which they
are entitled. There should be nothing
too good for the women and the men
who are the teachers of our boys and
girls throughout the State

How intensely practical and sensi-
BILE is much of the modern missionary
work is shown by DR.. Wilfred T.
Grenfell, the medical missionary Of
the Labrador coast In a recent ad-
dress descriptive of his work he said.
I'VE paid more attention to benefit
ing the poverty-ridden people by aid
ing in their physical welfare than by
preaching and prayer. We establish
ed hospitals to care for the sick. open
ed stores where clothing and food and
tobacco could be obtained at lower
price and of a better quality than in
the regular stores. We helped to
teach the fishermen more about their
business of fishing and the conditions
under which they lived, and how they
could better the conditions; and by
so doing we accomplished a greater
good than might have been wrought
by host of preaching and praying
missionaries who ignore mems bodies
in the cure of their souls"

here in a vision saw her son killed at
Baker City, Oregon.
Mrs. kinsler was looking out of her
window one evening when there came
a peal of thunder followed by flash

faint. When she was restored she
told her brother and his wife that the
flash of lightning had revealed to her
a heavy timber falling upon and kill
ing her absent son. They sought to
dispel what they regarded rs an illu-
sion, but she insisted that the tragedy
had occurredS She has since received

her son was killed by a falling timber
at precisely the same hour she wit
messed his death in her vision.

A DEADLY FEU0'
SIX MEN DIE WITH THEIR BOOTS
ON IN TEN YEARS.
ANOTHER DIES IN OPEN FIGHT
Edward. Wilkinson Is Shot Through
Stomach and Dies in Great Agony.

Montrose, Colo.-Edward Wilkinson,
one of the best known residents of
Paradox valley, who has been in the
cattle business there for years, was
shot and killed by William Young, q
wealthy stockman at Paradox, as the
result of feud between the Wilkin-
son and the Young families which has
extended over many years. During the
last ten years six men have died with
their boots on William Young's father
was killed five years ago.
Young came to Montrose to give
himself up to the sheriff; and after a
short consultation with the district at
torney he returned to Paradox, accom-
panied by Sheriff Taylor, Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Benjamin Griffith and
Attorney Thomas ]. Black, whom he
had retained to defend him.
Young told the sheriff that he and
his son met Wilkinson in a field and
that Wilkinson drew his gun. Young
says he and his boy pleaded with Will
kinson to put his gun up, but that in
stead of doing SO he slid from his
horse, and using the animal as a
breastwork pointed his gun at Young.
Young says he then slipped over the
siae of his own horse and fired. Will
kinson's friends claim that Young and
his son covered Wilkinson and shot
him before the latter drew his gun.
A number of years ago the Lambert
and Warford families were engaged in
a feud with the Young family and sew
eral running fights occurred, although
no one was killed. This died out
through lapse of time and the removal
of the Lambert family from this vicin-
ity. Last fall w. T. Pitts and Will
kinson shot and killed Charles Will
iams, relative of the Young family.
and about the same time William
Young was wounded.
The original cause of the feud is said
to have been the action Of Wilkinson
when he was serving as sheriff many
years ago. He accused Young of steal
ing cattle and rebranding them. With
some companions Wilkinson rode out
on the range to where Young's cattle
were grazing Wilkinson examined
the herd, but it is said that he failed
to find any which showed signs Of
having been rebranded or which bore
the marks of any other stockmen.
Young became indignant at the charge
and several bloody clashes have been
the result

SEES DEAD WoMAN's FACE.
Strange Appearance Of Ghost Drives
Bride Almost to Insanity.

Philadelphia, Pa.-What is appar-
emily a real case for the Psychological!
Research Society has come to. ligh,
The reason for the serious illness OF
Mrs. William Cabre, bride of a
month, is disclosed as nervousness
bordering on insanity from what she
and her husband declare is ghostly
cause. At the same time the reason
for the hurried departure of the two
other families from the same place, a
beautiful little villa on Hill Crest ave-
nue., near Wissahickon drive, at Chest
nut Hill. also came to light.
The police, in consequence of the
stories of the Cabres, have made a pre-
liminary investigation, and will go
thoroughly over the place, digging in
yard and cellar. At the same time
they are searching for George Fair, a
saddler, who with his wife and child,
formerly occupied the house. but who
disappeared four months ago.
The Cabres took the house on Fri
day. That night Mrs. Cabre says she
was awakened suddenly and saw
woman's face staring in at her from
the window. She woke her husband.
Cabre saw the same face and leaped
out of bed and rushed to the window.

and vanished Astonished, Cabre
turned to his wife, who was in hys-
terics. They could arrive at no rea-
sonable solution of the affair, but de-
termined to await further develop
ments.
Nothing out of the ordinary occurred
on Saturday until night. There is no
gas in the house, and as Cabre placed
the lighted lamb on the bureau in
their sleeping room, the bureau rocked
and the light was extinguished. Then
came peculiar noise, and at the win1
dow appeared the same ghostly face. y
The Cabres went at once to a neigh
bor's house. They will not even take
their furniture.
Four months ago the house was
taken by family named Fair. man.
his wife and one child about three
years old. The woman was con-
snmptive. While many saw Fair leave
the house, no one can be found who
saw either Mrs. Fair or the child de-
part.
Cabre says there are several Pc
culiar looking places in the garden
that he thinks are graves. These the
police will examine.

THE LATE STORM.
Prof. w. n. oIin Says Snowfall Most
: Valuable in History of Colorado.


Fort Collins, Colo.-The benefit iof
the snow which has fallen during the
past twenty-four hours will run up into
the millions of dollars, insuring for one
thing the maturity of 100000 acres of
wheat, oats and barley that would 9TH
erwise have been half crop or a total
failure.
Professor w. H. Olin, the grain e&-
pert at the Agricultural College, made
the following statement to-day regard
ing the heavy snowfall:
THE storm has been general all
over the state. Its benefits have been
greatest in Eastern Colorado, where
thousands of new settlers are depend
ing upon this years crop for their liv-
ing. If these people will smooth har-
row their grain fields. running cross
wise from the drilled rows, just as soon
as the land is dry enough to work, it
will form a MISUNDERSTANDING mulch
which will be the maturing OF the
grain fields.
"The snowfall is of tremendous value
to the farmers in the irrigated regions
Thousands of acres of seed are in the
ground and there was not enough
moisture to cause them to sprout, and
another week or two of such dry
weather would have meant the loss OF
the time and investment incident to
the planting of the crops as well as a
possible loss of the crops next fall from
early frost, owing to their lateness in
growth.
"The reservoirs will catch an I'M
mense amount of water as soon as the
snow begins to thaw, and taken all to-
gether it is impossible to approximate
the total value of this snow storm to
Colorado. | believe it is the most val
liable storm that has ever occurred in
the history of the state.

Any good prescription pharmacy will
supply these three ingredients at small
