Smallpox Not Epidemic.

DR.. c. H. Irion, president Of the
State Board of Health, has been kept
busy watching the smallpox situation
throughout the state. 1t having been
privately reported to the State Board
of Health tina smallpox was prevalent
in st. Tammany parish, letters were
sent to all the registered physicians of
that parish asking them to report on
the matter to he board.
In reply the communication sent
out by the state board several letters
were received from physicians of that
parish, the most important of which
was one from DR.. C. z. Williams,
health officers of St. Tammany, who
claimed that the reports as to small
pox there were exaggerated, but ad-
mitted that there are several cases in
the parish.
DIR. Williams states that there is
one case of smallpox at Covington.
but adds that the caes was isolated
and everyone exposed thereto had
been vaceinated and the house fumi-
gated. No other case, he said, had
developed from this case.

Union Business.

Some of the parish Farmers Union
have given notice that they mean
business in their campaign to abolish
the dealing in futures, and they have
appointed committees that are to
come to Baton Rouge in May, when
the General Assembly meets here, and
remain here until the measure they
will advocate passes or is put finally
to sleep. The representatives of the
Farmers Union propose coming to
Baton Rouge and seeing for them
selves what is going on. They propose
to see what is being done and how
it is done. They are especially inter-
ested in seeing bill pass at this ess-
sion of the General Assembly which
will prohibit what they consider gam
bling in cotton futures, and it is evil
dent that there is geing to be a COM
paratively large sized delegation of
farmers, representing the Farmers
Union, in the city during the session
of the General Assembly to see that
the measure is put through or to
know the reason why.

Joy for the victors and balm fol

ic parish committee, which fore gath
cred the Choctaw Club for the pur-
pose of declaring further nominees OF
the party and auditing the accounts
of the chairman. For several days
past Chairman James c. Henriques
had busted a force of experts on his
vouchers, the result being an array
of figures as soul-satisfying as i'm
posing.
That politics is not such a bad game
for even the loser, was the general
opinion voiced on the announcement
that each candidate would receive a
substantial return on his entry fee,
while the expenditures for the mer-
ry-making Of Jan. % had been kept
down to a minimum. OF $500 col
lected from the candidates, $3,100 will
be disbursed as a dividend, and great
was the rejoicing. Condensed from
their necessarily voluminous detail,
Chairman Henriques' figures showed:
Gross receipts, $3.50; less withdraw
ais, $475; net receipts, 5000. Total
expenditures, $1,974.81. Balance for
among the candidates, pro
rata, S3,100.19.

are the only remedy.
"The Cumberland officials hold
that the railroad commission fixes the
rate to be charged for telephone SER

on the subject has been superseded.
| do not believe the commission has
the power to raise the rate contrary
TO the provisions of mis- ordinance,

commission has such power, we will

Big Premium.

Considerable comment has been
caused at the Capital by the size of
the bids that Osme of the banks have
made for the deposits of the parish
school boards. According to the new
law, passed by the special session of
the General Assembly. which became
operative on Feb. /. the school boards
were given the handling of the parish
school funds, and were requird by
the law to place it in the parish bank
paying the highest rate of interest.
Practically all of the boards received
the bids this and last week, and some
of the parish banks bi 5, 6 and per
cent interest, which is an unusually
high rate of interest to pay on a
account. In addition the
banks have to give a bond for the Sc
curity of the money which is placed
with them by the school board.

Dykers states that 80 came from the
Canary Islands, 80 from Cuba, 80
from Spain and 90S from Austria,

Estimating that each able-bodied I'M
migrant is capable of taking care Of
ten acres of cane, Secretary Dykers
states that these 1901 immigrants rep
resent an increase of about three

Confederate Veteran cremated.

]. L. Graves, a Confederate veter-
an, IS years old, was cremated in a
fire that destroyed two residences in
Monroe. 1t is thought that the flames
originated in the bed room of Graves
from candle. The body, burned to
a crisp, was found inside the front
door, where the victim evidently fell
after vainly trying to make his es-
cape. Interment was made in the City
Cemetery, the body being placed in
a vault built by Graves many years
ago for himself. The slab bore an in
scription and all dates except that Of
death. The Confederate Veterans at

tried in the District Court entered a
plea of guilty when the case was
called and was remanded to Jail for
sentence. Farrar admits by his plea
that he embezzled $4,000 of the
firms money, that being the charge
on which he was indicted. 1t is stated
that he lost between $4,000 and $50
900 of the commission company's
money by speculation in grain. Far
rar is a young man with a wife and
child, and was very popular in bust
ness and social circles. 1t was thought
that there would be long and bitter
fight over the case in the courts, and
the plea of guilty came as a surprise.
