Rode Year on Railroad Train.

A German commercial traveller re-
Gently won a bet which he made with
an American sportsman by taking a
continuous trip of one year. The story
is vouched for by the Salzburger Volks-
blatt. while in the United States to
look after an inheritance the German
had a discussion with the American
and accepted wager of $4,000 that
he could not ride on train for one
year. The line chosen by the Ger
man was from Vienna to Innsbruck
via Linz and Salzburg, by express
trains. He took all his meals on the
train and slept every night on board
Twice each day he alighted to change
cars. Occasionally he would be met
at one of these points by his wife,
with whom he would exchange a few
words, and then be off again. The
mOnotony of it all threatened his rea-
son and toward the end of the year
he had severe attack of influenza
This was overcome and the last trip of
the year was successfully made. Ex-
cept for a slight nervousness. from
which he will recover, the winner of
the bet is perfectly well after his one
year trip In commenting on the
story another German paper says
From SalZburg-must be taken with
salt"

STATE VOTE ON PROHIBITION

Which Will be Basis Of Fight

New Orleans States.

New Orleans States.
Baton Rouge, June 3.-As fore
casted in The States some time
ago the prohibition element in
the Legislature have decided to
make their stand against the
whiskey traffic on the basis of a
referendum to the people in No
vember under such conditions as
will endanger none of the exist

views in the conference which
the Rev. Claude Jones of Shreve,

1t means the abandonment of the
Shreveport bill for State wide

This bill will become the one
on which all the opponents of the
sale of liquor will stand in the

Another 'Dry" Parish.

Times-Democrat.
Returns from the special local
option election held in East Car.
roll parish Tuesday show that it
has gone dry" by a small ma
jority. This increases the num-
Der of dry" or nearly wholly
dry" parishes to thirty, and is
the first break in the line of the
upper river parishes. North
Louisiana is prohibition, except
the towns of Monroe and West
Monroe. and the four river par.
ishes. East Carroll, Tensas, Mad
isOn and Concordia. East Car
roll went over to prohibition
Tuesday, leaving only three wet
parishes in North Louisiana and
two where license is confined to
one or two towns.
The PrOhibitionist success in
East Carroll is another in the
long line of victories which they
have recently won. and which
have carried Natchitoches, Cad
do. st. Landry and Acadia into
the prohibition column. It will
tend to cause more local option
elections to be called, and will
probably strengthen the Shat.
tuck bill in the Legislature, as
the saloon men cannot fail to
recognize the strength of the
prohibition wave in Louisiana,
and that the Shattuck law, which
substitutes control and regula-
tion for prohibition, is the best
they can possibly get.

MISS DUPRE WILL RETURN

The many friends of Miss
Edith Dupre will be pleased to
learn that the rumor that she
was to leave ller position in the
Industrial Institute here to ac-
cept a similar position at Ruston
is entirely false. Miss Dupre
had received overtures from
Ruston through friends who are
anxious to have her there, with
suggestions of a much higher
salary than she had received
here; but Miss Dupre had by no
means seriously considered leav-
ing her old place in Lafayette,
with which her entire career as
a teacher has been identified and
to which she feels bound by
every sense of loyalty and at
tachment. 1t was understood
that when she left last year for a
years study in Cornell Universi-
ty it was only upon leave of alb
sence and that her position wa
being retained here and held
meanwhile by a substitute
teacher.
Only the most fiattering offer
from another school would have
been sufficient to justify her in
severing her connections here,
and in no case would she have
done so without a full under
standing with the authorities of
the Institute here-who natural.
ly would not easily have consent
ed to her leaving.
During the month of June
Miss Dupre will teach in the
Summer Normal School being
held at Alexandria. She is to be
congratulated upon having been
chosen to do this work, and is
especially to be congratulated
upon havine, taken her Masters
degree at Cornell University.

purpose, also saying that
YOungsville being a village col
lected only licenses and had to
pay all the taxes to the parish
and State. Such being the case
it devOlved on the Jury to pay the
bills. The matter was referred
to Judge Mouton, the Jary's at,
torney.
Mr.. G. D. Caffery asked for the
remitment of the tax on the
mortgages of the Lafayette
Building Association under as.
sessment of last year, stating
that the mortgages were given
by borrowers of the Association
who built homes with the borrow
ed money. These homes were
taxed and if then the mortgages
were taxed also it was doub ole
assessment.
Assessor Hohorst was asked
in regard to the matter and
stated that in his opinion it was
clearly q double assessment and
that he would not assess the
mortgages.
The matter was postponed to
afternoon session, it being after

dinner.
At the afternoon session the
question of renewing the con-
