Emerson's Floating Palace.

Unpopular river show "Water Queen
will reach st. Joseph on Sunday the 22d,
giving performance here that night and
Monday night at Goldman Landing;
Though advertised as one show the pro-
gramme really includes two distinct and
high-class troupes, which is explained by
the fact that the steamboat engaged in
towing Capt. Emerson's show down the
river, sank at point in Arkansas some
time ago, and being unable to get anoth-
er boat the two shows Emerson's and
Prices, combined and are really giving
two shows for one price, and the aggre-
CATION of artists employed comprising
one of the largest troupes on the river.
The Hindoo act they advertise as their
special feature and is considered truly
marvellous, nothing equalling their magic
outside of the Orient. Speaking of this
tribe, Mgr. Price writes: This act alone
is worth the price of admission. These
wonders actually swallow swords, knives,
bayonets, and do feats on the magic or
der, the equal of which has never been
witnessed outside of India"

TuIIis' & Reeves.

Attention is called to the card of Tullis
& Reeves, attorneys, and composed OF
Judge Hugh Tullis and Mr.. Jos. NJ.
Reeves, who have formed a partnership
for the practice of law in Tensas, Con-
cordia and adjacent parishes. Judge Tul-
lis, the senior member of the firm, who
now resides in Natchez, will have Office
in Vidalia. and Mr.. Reeves, the junior
member, will locate in St. Joseph.
Judge Tullis desires to inform his eli
entele in Tensas that he will be glad to
come to st. Joseph at any time when de-
sired and that he can be consulted by
phone at either Natchez or Vidalia.
Parties wishing to see him here can
phone Mr.. Reeves at the latter's former
Office in st. Joseph, who will Immediate
ly communicate with Judge Tullis and
arrange appointment. Similar arrange
ments can be made with Judge Tullis by
parties in Concordia who may wish to
see Mr.. Reeves.
The new firm is quite a'strong one, in
which brains and energy are happily
combined. Perhaps no lawyer in North
Louisiana stands higher at the bar than
Judge Tullis, whose exceptional ability
is universally recognized. Mr.. Reeves is
a most promising young man, a hard
worker, close student and punctiliously
attentive to business. With experience
gained by several years practice at the
Concordia bar, his natural aptitude and
close attention, combined with the very
able counsel of his associate, equip him
splendidly for the work he will find in
his new field. Mr.. Reeves is high-toned
and honorable gentleman and is cordial
ly commended to the people of st. Jo-
seph and Tensas parish.

State Board of Pharmacy Announces
Results of Examination.

The results of the examinations held
by the State Board of Pharmacy on Nov.
6 and have been announced by the Sec
rotary, F. c. Goodbold, as follows:
The examinations were held at the
New Orleans College OF Pharmacy, on
Camp Street, and there were sixteen APP
plicants. Two failed to complete their
applications; seven failed in the eXami-
nations, and seven passed rs follows:
For registered pharmacists, 7. \. Hen

For qualified assistants, J. VI. Nelson,
J. C. Stumpf, r. F. Brown, of New Or
leans: A. NJ. Smith, of st. Joseph: G..
A. Skoog, of Arcadia.
The examinations differed from pre-
viOus ones given by the Board, inasmuch
as each applicant was given practical
work, in which the majority made very
low marks. However this feature Of the
examination is considered by the COM
mittee as being very valuable in decid-
ing on the competency of Il candidate,
and will be continued.-New Orleans
Picayune.
The numerous friends of Mr..
A. M. Smith of the st. Joseph
Drug Co., will congratulate him
Oh his most creditable eXamina-
ton, considering the severity Of
the tests, which were unusually
rigid, the averages made by him,
we understand, being among the
best of the class.

MILK SHIPPERS
IN MASS MEETING
Big Gathering of Dairymen

Point Saturday.
Especial to THE TIMEs.)

Crown Point. Nov. Central Music
hall was nearly filled to its capacity on
Saturday by the milk shippers of the
county, who had assembled there to
confer with some of the leading ex-
perts connected with their industry in
Illinois and Indiana. DR.. Billings was
the principal speaker of the session and
the recent agitation for clean and sani-
tary conditions of the milk houses, and
the wiping out of all the cattle affected
with tuberculosis. The farmers and
and milk shippers as a rule seemed to
be in favor of a thorough inspection
of Lake county cattle in a search for
the dreaded disease, and an earnest &C
tive and immediate campaign will be
instituted in an effort to stamp out all
traces of this disease in cattle. The
farmers realize that better condition
of their stock will help their business
materially, and 1t is now thought thai
the oft mentioned objection against the
present actions and measures used ir
the carrying out of their business will
be eliminated and that nearly every
farmer will receive the inspection o.
Lake county cattle with pleasure. a.

A RESTING PLACE
FOR CITYS DEAD
Oak Hill Cemetery of Gary
Will Be the Name of
New Graveyard.
THE incorporation IS NEAR
One Hundred Acre Waste of Sand in
Vicinity of Glen Park Will Be
Turned Into Garden Spot.

Gary's first cemetery will be located
at Glen Park.
It has been known for some time past
that a number of Gary and Crown
Point men have been looking for a
suitable location for a cemetery for
Gary, but they have worked quietly
and little was known of their move
ments unfit yesterday, when TIMES
man learned the story.
An option has been secured on two
pieces of land near Glen Park, contain
ing about 100 acres in all. 1t is said
by one of the promoters that a legal
question has arisen over the title to
one of thetracts of land and the pro-
moters are loath to give their names
until this matter has been decided in
the courts.
The cemetery. when laid out, will be
one of the finest in the state. No pains
or expenses will be spared to convert
the now barren sand hills into a garden
and spot of green. 1t will be arranged
with wide walks and driveways and
will be dotted with trees and shrubs.
A big lagoon will be constructed in the
center and miniature canals will wind
about the hiIlsides.
The new cemetery will be named the
Oak Hill Cemetery Of Gary. 1t will be
owned by the Oak Hill Cemetery Asso-
citation of Gary. and it is said there is
no limit to the finances at the back
of the promoters. They consist of one
Gary man. one Crown Point man and
two Chicago capitalists. At this time
! they are unwilling to have their names
published but say that it is only mat
ter of a short time until the articles o.
Incorporation for the company will b'
| filed at Indianapolis.
The location of the cemetery il
| thought to be the best of any tina
could be secured in or around Gary, OF
account OF it being centrally located
| Besides being in close proximity L
Gary it is also near many other neigh
boring towns and on account of tn
beauty of the cemetery there will b
many people who will bury their dea
at this place
The cemetery will be a combination
Catholic and Protestant buying ground
1t will be divided into two distinct sec
tions.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER
Introduces Himself as Old
Friend to Whiting
Banker.

A rather queer incident happened last
evening which may be a prelude to
something serious. Three little boys
were going down Oliver street when
they were stopped by a rather rough
looking character wearing short
stubby beard, and sweater. who asked
them to show him where Banker Bader
lived. The boys took him down to the
Bader house in oliver street. but as
no one was at home they thought per
haps he was at the residence of his
sister. Mrs. John Schaub. Going over
TO Sheridan avenue they found Mr.
Bader at Schaub's. where he requested
the boys to call Mr.. Bader out
Claims Bader's Acquaintance.
When Mr.. Bader appeared he tried
to make blieve he was well acquainted
with him. Mr.. Bader promptly in
formed him that he thought he was
mistaken. for he did not know his
strange caller. When the man seemed
so persistent he said: What is my
name?' The man said Frank Bader'
Mr.. Bader said 7 guess your in wrong,
and walked away
After leaving the Schaub residence
the man went north on Sheridan ave
nue. to the lake, and he being followed
by the boys. they saw him meet a pal
and it was then they reported the af-
fair to the police.
The officers made hurry up triI
to the lake front but were unable t.
find the man answering this decription
but intend keeping on the alert for su
spicious characters.
