was Stricken with Typhoid.

Friends of Clyde Parker of Terre
Haute regret the publicity which was
given the recent trip of Constable Low
den to the young mans home in an
effort to collect a board bill of 81. The
circumstances attendant upon the de-
PENDANTS leaving East Chicago were
rather unusual and warrant much more
sympathy than has heretofore been
awarded the case Parker was stricken
with typhoid fever while boarder at
the Williams home on Olcott avenue
and was confined to his bed for four
months before leaving for Terre Haute.
He was then carried to the depot on
stretcher and taken to his home by
Parker, Sr. Since his arrival in Terre
Haute he has not been well enough 70
resume mill work. and this fact no
doubt resulted in his inability to dis
charge the debt. although he had told
Mrs Williams that he would do so as
soon as possible.

CANNON TOLD TO
QUIT JOB
AND SENATORS
INFORM SPEAKER THAT AT
TEMPT TO BE REELECTED MAY
ENDANGER THE PARTY.

Chicago, Oct. ga dispatch re-
ceived today by the Chicago Tribune
from Helena, Ark, says that the con-
gressmen and senators accompanying
President Taft down the Mississippi
river, en- route to the waterways con-
vention in New Orleans, have told
Joseph Cannon, of Illinois, that If
he again is a candidate for reelec-
ton as speaker Of the house OF rep
resentatives the success of the re-
publican party will be endangered.
The dispatch says that at confer
ence aboard the steamer Quincy last
night it was decided that the only
hope for Cannon was for President
Taft to come to his aid as he did for
Senator Aldrich in his Winona
speech.
1t is generally believed, however,
that there is little chance of Presi-
dent Taft going to Cannon's aid.

the best citizens must naturally come
from homes which are attractive and
that the children from such homes

The educational element is the

Crop Pest Commission Issues i Statement,
Showing TIsId Of Different Varieties.
FOR The LOUISIANA FARMERS
The Native Seed Falls Far Behind the Less Pro
ductlVe Of ihe Fairly COttOn.--Tests Made
In Two Sections Of the State.

The State Crop Pest Commission
of Louisiana gave out the following
statement regarding its experiments
with early varieties Of cotton during
the 1908 season:
AS the funds Of the Crop Pest
Commission will probably not permit
of publishing in bulletin form the re-
suits Of all experiments before plant
ing time, it is thought bestto furnish
the press of the State with figures
showing the production of different
varieties Of cotton in the weevil in
tested section.
sThe quite extensive tests of varie-
ties were made by the commission
during 1908, one at Mansura, Avoy-
ellis parish, and the other at Bayou
Pierre, Natchitoches parish. The for
mer was on upland soil, the latter on
Red River Valley soil. At Mansura
the heavy rains which lasted from
July 24th to August 18th severely cut
down the yield and made conditions
extremely favorable for rapid increase
Of the Weevils. Under these trying
conditions the different varieties
yielded in pounds seed cotton per

The Blanche Manufacturing Com
pany, an institution organized some
weeks ago in 0pelousas, is making
good headway, and it is proposed to
have in a going concern in a few
days.
The company was organized for the
purpose Of erecting, in various por-

limited capacity with larger cen

faeture of cane into syrup in order
to facilitate its shipping to refneries.
A meeting Of the Board Of Direc-
tors was held in the Office Of Messrs.
Littell & LawIer last Tuesday, and it
was reported that $4,000 had been
subscribed. It requires Sic, 900 paid
in before the concern can start busi-
ness, but the promoters are not fear
ful that this amount viii not be sub
scribed within a few days.
These mills will greatly promote the

A LECTURE ON PORK
PACKERY ON SATUR
DAY, THE 9TH.

Rev. John Gray, of Alexandria, will
speak at the courthouse, in Opelou-
sas, at three o'clock Saturday, Febru-
ary 6, on pork packeries and the pork
business in general.
Mr.. Gray is the special emissary of
the Alexandra Progressive League,
and has been touring the neighbor-
ing parishes urging the raising Of
hogs to be consumed by pork fac
tory to be erected at Alexandra.
The question of hog raising at this
time is of supreme moment to every
farmer living within a radius Of
hundred miles from Alexandria, and
having rail communication with that
city. The citizens there have be-
stirred themselves, and it is almost
an assured fact that pork factory
will be established there that will
furnish d market for all the hogs
raised in the next few years. Then
of course the hog supply will in-
crease, and more packeries will be
established, doubtless one in Opelou-
sas, and perhaps Crowley. Baton
Rouge IS also talking pork packery.
With q ready market for hogs, the
farmers of this section must realize
the boon it viii be to them.
Mr.. Gray is fluent, interesting,
Veli-posted speaker and there should

Before we go into the trial Of
these cases" incidentally remarked
Judge Alex. Boarman, while sitting
at term of the United District Court
here last Monday, and when violators
Of the prohibition law of this parish
we're brought before him, 7 want to
tell the local State and parish author
tiles that they can not use this court
in the enforcement Of their prohibi-
tion laws. They voted this law, and
they must take care Of violators Of
its provisions. The United States
Courts will only take care of United
States business, and in this case that
is confined to seeing that the internal
revenue license is paid before a per-
son sells liquor, So far will this
court go, and no further"
His Honor also delivered himself Of
humorous but emphatic TRADE level

various names, but all calculated to
dodge the paying of internal revenue.

sham and q fake on the face of the
label, and person who will use such
q label is guilty with very little eYi-
dence necessary to convict him Of not
only selling liquor without revenue
license. but of taking also an offense. !"
United States District Court met
here Monday morning, and adjourned
the same evening, after disposing Of
six blind tiger cases and one civil
case.
In the blind tiger cases two were
tried, one of whom was acquitted and
the other convicted. Mana, a Syrian
from Melville, was acquitted, and
John Humphreys, negro, also of
Melville, was convicted. In the latter
case an appeal was asked for, and
the appeal went over until the May
term Of court.
Jules Ferrini, George Verga, Chas.
Napoli and Joe Lashute, all Melville
SYrians, plead guilty, but a motion
for a new trial went over until next
term of court.
Paul Attell, also Syrian, and also
from Melville, was not tried.
All Of the above are blind tiger
cases from Melville.
The only civil case tried was that
Of the Bell Go. VS.. The Board Of
School Directors Of st. Landry parish.
This is case resulting from the re-
fusal Of the school board which went
into Office in 1904 to take maps Of
Louisiana ordered during the term of
the board which retired in 1904.
The amount is $2400, The case was
taken under advisement.

The mooted question which has
been disturbing the minds Of the di-
yisionists and Of Registrar Lastrapes
for some weeks past has been settled
BY Gouernor Sanders ordering the
Registrar TO visit the various pre-
cincts id the parish for the purpose
Of registering voters for the election
for division, to be held IN April.
Il will be remembered that Regis
trar Lastrapes, some weeks ago, an
nouced ID an interview with the Clar-
ion that he was willing to go to
every precinct in the parish, If the
registration laws did not contraVene
such action and if the divisionists, Or
those interested, betrayed his expen-
ses. Subsequently it was discovered
that the law was so ambiguous on the
right Of the registrar to leave the
courthouse except preceding q pri-
mary election or general election
that ain Interpretation from the
judicial department. Of the State was
deemed advisable, and after con-
ference between a committee of the
divisionists and the registrar, it was
decided to leave the entire subject
