Joseph Knoll, of Echo, died from
the effects of drinking a bottle of
laudanum. His wife died about two
months ago His grief was SO great
that he could not sleep, and he had
been taking a few drops Of laudanum
each night to bring sleep. 1t is

as for few days before his death
be had been saying that he was al

wished he could die or kill himself
or get out of the world some way, for
life was not worth living without

FRIDAY.

With sixty-nine bills ON the House
calendar and forty-six measures be-
fore the Senate, making total of
115, and more than score Of reso-
lutions, concurrent and otherwise, be-
tween the two houses, and with all
committees appointed and both houses
thoroughly organized, the second
week of the General Assembly came
to a close today, when adjournment
was taken until IL O'Clock noon on
Monday. The old scheme Of adjourn
ing until Monday night was knocked
out in the first round when it came
to the House today, as had been
strongly urged by Speaker Dupre in
his inaugural recommendations.
The legislature is now ready for
work. Committees will meet often
and late. Practically all of the lis
bills have been assigned to coTmlt-
tees and are now in their possession.

than $4,000 Oh human life when
taken through negligence OH some

protection Of game and fish in Loui-
siana. Representative Comisky, OF
Orleans, also fathered bill for the
protection of game and birds. Rep
resentative Dougherty also contrib
uted to the sum-total Of game bills,
and gave two notices, one for strin-
gent protective measure, and the 9TH
er for the creation Of State Com
mission and a game warden.
Among interesting new legislation

prevent tax collectors from getting
new rolls until they have completed
the old ones and received q quietus
from the Auditor.

Field Hand Shot and Killed.

Dave Sanders, twenty-seven years
old, was shot and killed by Ed Da-
wilson,. seventeen years old, on Guy
Ballard's place, twelve miles north
west of Amite. The shooting took
place in the field. 1t seems that the
two men engaged in a dispute when
Sanders called Davidson a liar. This
morning, when Sanders was in the
field hitching horse to plow, he
was attacked by Davidson. Sanders
at the time was unarmed. Sanders
after he was, shot walked about thir-.
ty steps before he fell to the ground
dead. There were no witnesses to
the shooting, and Davidson escaped.

Governor Blanchard stated to a
representative Of the Times-Democrat
that, the rumor to the effect that he
had appointed Henry G. Mccall a
notary for the parish Of Orleans on
the recommendation of President
Roosevelt was erroneous. He denied
that the President had ever asked for
this or any other favor at the hands
OF the administration. Mr.. Mccall
was appointed on the request Of Con-
gresham R. C. Davey of Orleans and
as personal favor to that gentle
man, said the former governor.

Vice-President Of the United States

State, Of which he was the executive
for q years, was exhumed at IT,, cid
Congregational Cemetery and trans
ferred to the United States Naval
Hospital, where it now lies, awaiting
removal to the old Clinton home at
Kingston, N. Y. The body was found
to be in a most remarkable state Of
preservation in spite of the fact that
it had rested in the leaden coffin for
96 years. The chemicals in the soil
had seemingly petrified most Of the
upper portions Of the body and head,
and even the cloth Of the cost and
silk of the stockings seemed to be
as strong and substantial as when
new.

has been postponed indefinitely by
Judge Drew. The reasons given in
the order postponing the court is that
the recent severe rains have great
y hirdered the farmers, who, there
fore, have a great amount Of work
to do, and to take them from their
crops at this time would work a great
hardship on them. In many instances
the crops will have to be planted
