There is a growing disposition to
deal more fairly with the Jews in Rus
STA, notwithstanding the anu-Semitic
feeling that sometimes finds an outlet
in violence and bloodshed- The min
istry of education has enacted a law
removing the restrictions which hith-
erto prevented more than a small per-
centage of Jews entering the higher
schools OF learning in the empire. To
those familiar with usage in lands
where Jews have equal rights with
others this seems slight concession.
But it really is big change in Rus
sian policy.

Baton Rouge, Sept. I7.--tor
the first time to-day it was init
mated that next year there may
be relocation of the State Fair
and that there is chance for
iberia Parish to obtain it.
There is also a chance for other
parishes more centrally located
that Shreveport.
Secretary &. Barrow of the
State Board of Agriculture let
the cat out of the bag when he
returned from the Far at can
erette which had surprised him
on the account of its excellence.
In discussing the matter he said:
"Thsre will be considerable riv-
airy among the parishes of that
section of the State for the site
OF the central State Fair If one
is established next year. The
people of southwestern and CEN
trail Louisiana claim that the
Shreveport Fair is too far away
for them to transport their pro-
ducts, and they think that they
are entitled to a central State
Fair. eanerette has built every
thing upon permanent basis;
all OF the buildings are put pp
to stay, and the town would be /,
a strong bidder for the Fair if it
were established
The difficulty is that Jeaner-
cite is not railroad center and
even the express TRANS of the
Southern Pacific do hot stop
there. This is a detraction and
it might on this account to
easier for the people of New
Iberia to get the State Far than
Jeanerette if its people would
get Il move OH.
As Secretary Barrow states,
there is sure to be fight on
and the locality that offers the
most advantages will be the one
chosen whether it is decided to
move the site OF the State Fair
or whether it is decided to split
it - hold one in Shreveport
and another in the Southern
central portion of the State.

N. aud close at 3 p. m. we never

CLEAR THE STREAMS.

1t is passing strange that some
way cannot be found to rid the
navigable streams and the canals
of the South Of the water hyaciDth
that at this time of the year is not
only al obstruction to navigation
but interferes with the drainage Of
large territories. For some reason
this pest is increasing and it has at
tackled even the Teche in such a
mass now that il is difficult for any
boat of small size to navigate its
waters.
1t is difficult enough to run boats
of large size between the narrow
banks of the Bayou without this
obstruction but when it is added to
the curves and the snags and the
lumber RATS it is not hard TO un-
derstand why water traffic is not
more popular.
AT several points the Govern.
ment has sent out expeditions to
clear the streams but the method
employed only offers temporary re-
ffiieff tiff, as sUou as removed the
quick growing plant begins its
work again and is soon as obstruc
tive ~ before. Canals of the
drainage variety are almost use
less. La most instances the water
eannot be seen at all for the mass
Of plants Even where the cur
rent is comparatively swift they
soon block it and render the
bitches useless. Left alone there
is no doubt but In the course of
short time they would do away
witnall the canals and render the
large expenditure OF money used
10 their construction useless ex-
penditure.
1t would seem then that there
ought to be a determined effort
among oil the people OF the entire
section to kill out every plant, root :

RAILROAD TO BLAME.

RAILROAD TO BLAME.
Young Albert Tulller, son OF
| Mr.. ID. TuIlier of Ann Street,
is reported to be resting easy to-
day after the accident Sunday
that cost him one of his legs.
There is, however, quite an in
digant feeling against the South
ern Pacific Railroad for its APP
parent neglect in taking precau-
tons that would have prevented
the accident.
1t appears that young FULLER,
who has been employed in
Lees Drug Store to attend the
soda water stand and who is a
general favorlts with the patrons
OF the store, started to go to
eanerette Sunday on the ex-
cursion train that passed through
here about noon. The train
was crowded and there were not
seats enough to accommodate
all who had purchased tickets.
Young TuIlier, being unable
to get seat in the cars seated
himself on the platform near the
top of one of the steps. An
other youth was lower down on
the step and in this position
they quietly rode out of the
City, the train going at full
speed when it reached a point
where a dead COW had been ly.
ing at the side of the track for
the last two days. This was
about a mile below the City
limits.
Whether the step on which
the boys were seated was lower
than the others on the train is
not known, but this one step
was caught by the body of the
COW and torn Of. The boy be-
low Tulller grabbed the iron
railing at the side of the car and
saved himself but young Tullier
being unwarned of approaching
danger was thrown down into
the opening left by the step
when it was torn of and fell at
the side of the track.
One of bis legs tell under the
wheels of the car as it whir!ed
along and was badly crushed.
The train, however went on to
Olivier before before it stopped
and then returned to pick him
up. He was taken to eanerette
where he laid at the station for
several hours, refusing to have
MS leg operated upon by the
ocal physicians. Then he was
brought to his home where Drs.
'abatier and Shaw amputated
lis leg below the knew last
.vening about five hours after
he accident.
That the cows body was
long side of the track was J..
,nown to the railroad people
nd that it was not removed to
point where it would not be
angerous is regarded as a seri-
us case of neglect by the rail ]
DAD people. Such things as
his have been known to have /,
aused wrecks in which the loss !
t lite was great. The tact that
ne train did not slow up at that
ONT is also taken as neglect OF
roper precaution.
Passengers on the train state 7
lat it would have been easy for
ls engineer to have seen the
bstruetion at a distance far
rough to have slackened the
,eed even if he had not known f,
&c csw was there. But it is
ated that the railroad en-
oyees could not have failed to
