Working the TaiIings.

Charles r. Hussner, the metal
lurgical chemist, who has been ex-
perimenting for some months with
the tailings from the Argonaut with
the view of catching the fugitive gold
and amalgam therefrom, has made
arrangements with the company to
work these taillngs. His process has
reached beyond the experimental
stage, and may be said to be a proven
success. He has been working on a
small scale, with five small plates,
discarded from the mill long ago.
Even with this equipment he has eX-
tracted from the tailings enough gold
and amalgam to pay good wages. We
understand he iG preparing to install
a more extensive plant, adding seven
larger plates, which will be sutti 3ient
to treat all the pulp flowing from the
mill. He proposes to remain and
look after the plant himself, in CON
junction with James Mushett, who
has secured an interest therein. 1t
will take only two persons to look
after it, The process is different
from any tailings plant heretofore
tried around here. One object is to
catch the floating gold, as we'll as
that in the form of amalgam. When
demonstrated a success on the larger
scale, as it doubtless will be, it will
no doubt be adopted behind other
mills, and prove an important auXili
airy to the mining industry.

THE ANTi-GA MILLING AMEND
MENT,

The passage of the anti-gamb,
ling ordinance by the Council
last March and their firm stand
when petit med to repeal it met
with the hearty approval of a
large majority Of III citlZenS.
But the amendment TO the ordi
nance passed by the Council
over the mayors veto Tuesday
We do not believe will be received
with general favor, for in our
opinion the amendment practic
all repeats the ordinance.
But there is room for a ques-
ton az to whether the amend
ment was passed, 1t takes a two
thirds majority to pass an Ordi-
nance over the mayors veto.
Does that mean TIVE, thirds of
those present at the meeting or
two. thirds of the entire Council?
The latter seems the more
reasonable as certainly n a mat
ter calling forth a veto. less than
half the Council should not have
the power to override the veto.
However. if a majority of the
Council believe the mayor should
be sustained. and we hope they
do, they can still meet IN full
Council and repea! the amend
ment.

To the Voters of the SecOnt
Railway Commission District.
Lafayette, La.

Gentlemen:
On entering the second primary, to
be held September %, 1908, for the
nomination by the Democratic Party,
as a candidate for Railroad Com
missioner for the second district of
Louisiana, l want to irst thank the
people of my district for the confidence
they have evinced in me by the large
and representative vote l received in
the first primary election held Sep
TENDER l, 1908.
In the discharge of public duty, it
is a tower of strength to know that
behind US and supporting our efforts
is the goodwill, esteem, and conf
dence of the people that have chosen
us to serve them, and whose every in
terest we have solemnly sworn to
safely guard and protect.
In the organization of the Com
mission of our State, its powers were
too circumscribed and limited to meet
the necessities and demands of the
general public, to give that satisfac-
tory control OF our transportation fa-
scilities that would place it beyond
criticism and complaint. The con-
slant efforts of the Commissioners
have been to induce the legislature to
extend its powers SO as to give greater
control over the railroad lines of our
State, and the telegraph and tele-
phone lines as we'll. At the same
time, We have recognized the necessity
OF investment, and new roads in the
South and speciality Louisiana.
Our State Legislature, recognizing
the necess ity for railroad development
has exempted e lines from taxation
for a number of years, and from time
to time. has extended the same.
Statistics will show that for two
years past, Louisiana has been second
in railroad development of all States
in the Union.
All the law at our command. we
have enforced with q firm hand, when
ever complaints have been referred to
the Commission. Both the people
and the transportation companies are
beginning to recognize q mutual inter-

Some interesting experiments
now making at Madrid with the
horses of a regiment of hussars
are discussed in the French
journal L'Eclair. The expert
ments are based first on the
German experiments with So
called molasses forage used in
feeding the German cavalry.

gained in weight and activity.
One of them gained 20 pounds
in weight. Some of them that
had bad digestion excreted in
festival worms and regained
good digestion. The result of
all this was that the old method
of feeding was abandoned and
the use of the molasses feed
was adopted for the whole regi-
ment, which also effected a large
saving in the cost.

ed the theatre. such an dtmOS-
phere as every true artist joys
in playing in. Under the magic
of Mr.. Murphy's art. an art
which by it's very n~aturalness
concealed itself, the audience
was converted into one big,
warm heart, which responded
in perfect unison to the light
and shade of the evenings story.
Cupid and the DOLLAR a
comedy by Charles Jeffery, is
Mr.. Murphy's Offering this sea
son. 1t is an ideal vehicle 10
exploit his peculiar genius. 1t
may lack something in original
ty of plot, probability and clear
ness, but Mr.. Murphy gives
such Il convincing flesh and
blood presentation of the lead,
ing character that all minor de-
fectS Of the play are put in the
background and the whole is
made just as absolutely convinc
ing. The two standards of judg-
ing things, particularly marriage,
the money standard and the
heart standard are made to vie
with each other through three
delightful acts, and with David
Stratton, the blunt and big
h~arted Westerner, played by
Mr.. Murphy as It's champion, the
heart standard carries the day
gloriously with flying colors.
Mr.. Murphy's company is a
splendid one. Miss Dorothy
Sherrod, whose winning smile
and musical voice have lent
charm to Mr.. Murphys's pro
auctions for years, is seen in the
leading female role, which is
that of the daughter of the
WeSterner, ard whose heart is
torn by conflicting emotions
throughout the play. Miss
Sherrod has long been recOg-
nized as an ideal complement
to Mr.. Murphy's acting end she
is all of that in this production.
Her scenes with daddy" are
and tenderly convinc.
Probably the most notable
piece of work in the cast, aside
from the leads, was the Count
Urosoff of Mr.. Allen Brander.
This part is that of a Russian
count who has married ar
heiress for her money,
and in the hand of a less skillfuI
actor would have degenerated
into a caricature. Mr.. Bran
work, however, makes the
role stand out boldly. He is a
master of the dialect and his
every move ard accent carries
conviction.
The remainder of the com
pany were well up to the stand
ard of the principals and on the
whole the play was excellently
presented.
The Tulane looked bright, new
and inviting last night. 1t has
practically the same staff as last
season.

New Orleans Daily News.
Mr.. Tim Murphy, genial ana
smiling, said "Howdy" to a
good sized audience at Klaw &
Changers Tulane Theatre last
night, and opened the regular
theatrical season in New Orleans.
It was indeed an ausplcious
opening. With probably more
people in the house than the
first night of any previous sea-
son in years and with every one
sent away from the theatre after
the show with a smile on his
face and a warm word of praise
for the actor, play and company
on his lips, Manager Campbell
must have indeed been gratitied
and considered it a good omen
for a prosperous season.
Who in this warm-hearted
city has not seen Mr.. Murphy?
Who has not smiled with him?
Who not even wept with him?
And who has not felt a respon-
sive throb to his big. FLUSHING

are their daughters and sweet
