OF the twelve had voted for him IN
1900. but each and every one declared

In n OF his speeches last week Mr..
Taft remarked that 1.-THE tendency OF
Mr.. Bryan's mind is toward a theory
that addresses itself ut once to the ap-
prevail of an audience and not n that
Ats into the drafting Of a statute to
accomplish anything" This view helps
explain why Mr.. Bryan gets 30 much
applause from nm audience and so little
support at the polls. The sober second
thought is too much for him.-St. Louis

Encouragement to swindlers.

Banks would be pretty nearly as nu-
merous as barrooms if Bryan's scheme
for guaranteeing national bank deposits
should ever become a law" said Josiah

a large part of the country in the in
terests of a financial publication. l
come into contact with prominent bank
ers all over the United States and |
have not talked with a single n who
is in favor of the scheme to guarantee
deposits, mainly for the reason that
they cannot see how anyone would be
protected. They also think that the
plan would encourage, rather than pre-
vent. dishonest methods. Why, just
think how it would. work out. Any
raker who could. by hook or by crook,
get a bank charter and persuade people
to deposit money in the bank. could
pack his grip with the deposits and de-
camp. The worst Of it is that he could
get away with a comparatively clear
conscience. because he would know that
the United States government. or some
other banks. would reimburse the de-
positors for what they had put in"

THE GEM.

"The great Dreyfus trial. is to be
featured in motion pictures at the Gem
Theater this week, when the scenes and
incidents in that famous blot upon
French history will be brought wildly
before a Honolulu audience. This film
has attracted great crowds on the main
land, and as it is to be shown here in
connection with other pictures there is
no question as to what the attendance
will be at the Gem, where the admis-
sion is ten and twenty cents for adults
and five cents for children.

Election Report.

The primary election held here
Tuesday was one of the hardest Tough
elections that has been held here for
years, the contest being in the main
over the nomination of a candidate
for representative. Before the day
of election it was conceded that Mr..
Pujo would carry the box by from IS
to 90 votes, and although his friends
worked valiantly in his behalf, when
the final count was made Mr.. Polk
had majority of II. The complete
returns from this box were as follows:
Associate Justice Supreme Court
Breazeale, II; Provosty, SO; Sompay-
rae, l0l.
Railroad Commissioner-Bland, 8:
Cade, IA; Eagan, IL; Taylor, 139.
Representative in Congress-Polk.

RETURNS OF ELECTION
From Seventh District Sufficient to
Indicate General Results.

At the time of going to press the re-
turns from Tuesdays election are
still incomplete but are sufficient to
indicate the general results. 1t is es-
timated that Hon. A. p. Pujo will
carry the Seventh District for con-
gresham over his opponent, VIM.
Polk, by from 200 to 400 votes. A
second primary will be required in
the case of associate Justice of the
supreme court and railroad commits
siOner, PrOvOsty and Breazeale being
the leading candidates for the former
office and Cade and Taylor for the
latter. In the case of the parish off,
Gals Winston Overton won by large
majority for district Judge; Jos. M.
More received a majority of the
vo.es for district attorney and will
fill that position for the ensuing term
The greatest surprise in the parish,
doubtless, was the great strength that
Overton displayed in the race for dis
trict judge. While the complete vote
is not known yet, it is estimated that
he will distance his opponent by 1900
to 1900 votes in the parish.

WEEVIL AND TICK
Can BE EXterminated by New
Process.

Washington, August 29.-That a
practical exterminator of the boil
weevil and cattle tick has at last been
discovered is the firm belief of three
New Orleans men. Henry E. Grumbel,
A. J. Plicque and Henry D. Mccarthy.
The discoverer is Mr.. Plicque, who
with MesSrs. Grumbel and Mccarthy,
has taken the matter up in earnest.
MIR. Mccarthy and Mr.. Plicque have
applied to the patent office here for
patent demonstration for the benefit
of officials of the department of agri-
culture. When the patent is procured
a company will be formed with Mr..
Grumbel as president to place the
eradicator on the market.
Mr.. Plicque's exterminator is in
liquid form and is used as a spray.
He claims for it that it vii kill either
the boil weevil or the cattle tick
without doing harm to the cotton
plant on which the weevil is found or
the cattle on which the tick is found.
I'VE have seen practical demonstra-
tions of Mr.. Plicque's preparation, ;"
said Mr.. Mccarthy tonight, land
firmly believe in its efficiency. We
tried it on the weevil and on the tick,
as well as on other insects, and it
proved thoroughly effective. Unlike
paris green and other poisonous
preparations that have been used in
the war against the weevil, Mr..
Plicque's preparation does not have
to be eaten by the insect. Its fumes are
such that an insect can not live near
them. The strength of the fumes holds
from twenty-four to thirty-six honrs
after spraying. Our idea is to put
The preparation ut cost that will en-
able every cotton planter or cattle
raiser in the country to purchase it
at reasonable price. in other words,
it will be in easy reach of everybody.
Mr.. Mccarthy went to the depart
ment OF agriculture today, but as
Saturday is half holiday he was
able to accomplish little. He has
practically completed arrangements,
however, for demonstration to take
place next week.

Killed by Train Near Welsh.

The body of an unknown negro was
discovered on the right of way in the
west part of town Saturday morning.
An examination of the body failed to
reveal its identity. There was no
evidence of foul play, the only injury
being the dislocation of the neck,
which seemed to have been effected by
fall from moving train. There
were marks showing where he struck
the ground, and clearly defined
pathway through the weeds on the
embankment, showing that the body
had rolled down the embankment, as
though thrown from a rapidly moving
east bound train. A subscription was
taken up by one of the colored bows.
a coffin was secured and the body
buried on the right of way where
found.

Governor Going to Open Fair.

Governor Sanders has promised to
officially open the Third Annual
District Fair at Jeanerette Wednes-
day, September 9th.
Last year Jeanerette held one of the
largest and most important fairs ever
held in the State, and Judging from
the number of attractions already
booked, we believe that the fair this
year will far surpass last years.
