Terre Haute, Ind, Dec. 24.-The
railroad companies are demanding
most of the coal that will be lifted
from Indiana mines now for their own
use. The custom is to notify the op-
orators the night before the number
Of cars that will be left at his mine
during the night to be loaded the next
day with coal mined that day. that he
may know how many miners to put to
work at Z o'clock in the morning. I'm
til the first of the week there had been
no car shortage at Indiana mines, but
this week not half enough have been
sent in.
The Southern Indiana Wednesday
evening first asked If the operator
would turn over the filled cars to the
railroad company for it's own use. If
not, his mine was scratched from the
list of mines to be served during the
night. The Big Gour is doing the
same.
No More confiseation.
The old plan of confiscating the coal
in transit and telling the operator of
it afterward has been abandoned by
those roads which have mines on their
own tracks. Yesterday the Big Four
loaded a train of cars at a West Terre
Haute mine and had an engine in wait
ing to rush it to Indianapolis. 1t was
not secret among operators that the
road management had permitted the
supply there to run down to seven or
eight cars when several hundred car
loads is a minimum for that point
where many engines from various d.
visions get their coal.
The Indiana mines are not being
worked two-thirds time, and there are
orders in for a full-time output for sew
eral weeks to come. But if this cold
weather continues the railroads will
impose their own wants between the
mine and the public to a larger extent
than might be supposed. In the first
place, the locomotive burns a third
more coal in this kind of weather In
the second place, the holidays increase
the traffic and number OF engines in
use.
Short Of Motive Power.
There is not a coal car shortage in
the old sense. There are plenty of
| ''empties" but there is a shortage of
motive power to get them to the mines
and to get the loaded cars away to mar.
ket- The Big Four has had block
ade of loaded cars in Terre Haute this
week. There is another shortage and
one which the railroad companies do
not make public in these days. when
train crew service brotherhoods are
| asking for an increase in wages. There
is shortage of men. something that
has not been mixed with the car
shortage" Of other winters. There is
not a road that has all the engineers.
firemen. conductors and brakemen ii
requires for freight service.
Indiana operators have information
that there is not yet a coal famine in
the cities. but ten days or two weeks
Of this weather may bring about such
conditions as the cities have never ex.

SUGGESTIONS for PLANTING.

Suggestions for the Vegetable Gar
den taken from the Southern Almanac
or Garden Manual for August:
PLANT Pole and Bush Beans, TOl
matoes for late crop, also corn for
roasting ears. Cucumbers, Endives,
Lettuce and Radishes would do we'll if
planted this month. On new ground
you can plant Turnips and Rutabagas.
During August you can plant all va
rieties of Cabbage: the ground should
be well fertilized. A larger quantity
of Seed should be sown at this time
of the year, as it is sometimes difficult
to get the proper stand. If you have
trouble with insects on your young
cabbage plants use Tobacco Water,
Tobacco Dust or Hammonds Slug
Shot, and you will find either of them
very beneficial"
We have all of the above seeds and
guarantee them to be strictly fresh,

Base Ball.

Last Sunday the Scott base ball
team was to play the Park team of
Breaux Bridge in Carencro, but owing
to the heavy rain and washout of a
number of bridges the Park team
could notgo to Carencro. However, the
Scott team went to Carencro and
played game with the boys of that
town, which resulted in a score of 16
to . in favor of Scott. The two teams
have arranged for a game next Sun
day on the Carencro diamond, and as
the teams are pretty equally matched
all lovers of base ball who attend may
expect to see a fast and interesting
game.

ROY BRICK FACTORY.
Resumes Operations After Several
Months Shut Down and Now Busy
Filling Orders.

The Roy Brick Factory, after a
suspension of several months, re-
sumed operations last week with full
force of workmen in the yards: A
visit and inspection of the plant will
reveal one of the compietest and most
improved factories of its kind in the
state. The product of the kiln is of a
very high grade of clay brick, and
architects ard builders accept the
material and declare it fully up to
every requirement for first class work.
The new convert at BrOussard used
Roy Factory brick and the new Arts
and Crafts building now in course
of construction at the Industrial In
stutute is composed of the same pro-
duct. No doubt the architects for the
proposed new Catholic Church will
adopt the Roy brick for this mag
nificent edifiee, as no better or more
durable material can be found in this
section.
Manager Willis Roy kindly showed
The Advertiser reporter the entire
process of manufacture and the in
geniouS mechanisms for mixing the
earth, molding the brick, carting them
away to drying sheds and burning
them to uniform degree of hardness.
The earth is brought into the mill by
cable car, ground to the proper con-
sistency and energies from the mold in
a continuous form, which is carried
on an endless belt to the cutter. The
bricks are then cut into the proper
length and are carried along to tram
car, which is used to run them out
into the sheds. When sufficiently dry
the brick are placed in the kilns and
burned by the use of oil as fuel. The
plant has capacity of abont 25. .OOC
brick per day and when all depart
ments are in operation about thirty
men are employed. At present nearly
twenty men are at work.

LAID TO REST.
Funeral Services of Rousseau J. Mou-
ton Held at ST. Johns Catholic
Church Largely Attended.

Friday evening, the mortal re-
mains of Rousseau j. MOutOn. who
died Thursday, July %, were laid to
rest in st. Johns cemetary with due
religious ceremony and military
honors. Hundreds of relatives and
friends gathered at the home of the
bereaved family near town to pay the
last tribute of respect to one whose
young life had been so full of hope
and promise. Cut down in the flower
of manhood, with a bright and happy
future before him, the blow fell with
crushing force upon the hearts of
fond parents and friends alike.
And thus it was that with bowed
heads. and sOrrOwing hearts, so many
gathered around the bier aud gave
vent to feelings of deep anguish and
tenderest sympathy. At live O'Clock,
the long cortege headed by Company
G. l.. S. n. G. under Captain G. c.
McCrory wended its way through
IA
where Rev. Father Teurlings perform
ed the solemn ceremony and preached
an impressive sermon, dwelling on
the uncertainty of life and eloquent
tribute to the sterling worth and
beautiful character Of the departed
one. While Gods inscrutable dis
pensations were sometimes hard to
bear yet the Christian could ever
say Thy will be done The church
could not contain the great concourse
of people that had assembled The
services were most impressive ana
solemn.
At the grave the militia Company
formed about the bier, fired the usual
military salute and sounded taps as
last token of honor and esteem for
the gallent young officer and soldier
Many beautiful floral offerings were
laid on the grave. Messrs Frank
Moss, Paul Leblanc. H. r. Bod
emuller, Paul Mouton. Ashton Be-
raud and J. E. Mouton. Jr. acted as
pail bearers, while Misses Mathilde
Mouton, Marie Mouton Marie LIE
Blanc, Armede Guidry Isabel Mouton
and Laurence Robicheaux acted as
attendants.

RECE|VERSHlP DENIED
Dr.. A. r. Trahan Loses Suit for the
Appointment Of Receiver for the
Broussard Oil Co.

Last Friday the suit of DR.. A. r.
Trahan versus the Broussard Cotton
Oil Company was called in the Dis
trict Court and attracted considerable
attention. Quite a number of people
from Broussard and Youngsville, in
terested in the case, were present to
watch the proceedings and note the
outcome. DR.. Trahan owns fifteen
shares of 500 par value each in the
Broussard Oil Mill and through his
attorney, r. W. Elliott, asked the
court to appoint Mr.. o. B. Hopkins
receiver, alleging mismanagement of
the concern and probable loss on ac-
count of the stress of the times and
the boil weevil situation, etc. Judge
o. c. Mouton, representing the defend
ant corporation, filed an exception of
no cause of action, adducing law and
argument to show that the allega-
tiOns in the petition for receivorship
were not sufficient to justify the court
in taking charge of the business and
appointing a receiver The law con-
templated only fragrant wrong, fraud,
injustice and waste of property as
grounds for receivership, and even
then left the matter to the discretion
of the court Any difference of judg
ment on the part of a minority of
stockholders as to the methods and
policy adopted by the Board of Direct
ors was not cause for interference,
else the court would soon find itself
burdened with the administration of
innumerable private businesses and
corporations.
Attorney Elliott contended that the
petition did disclose sufficient cause
for action, arguing that the law and
reasoning presented by Judge Mouton
was not applicable to the question at
issue. The court would be fully JUS
titled in granting the prayer of the
plaintiff on the grounds set forth in
the petition. Mr.. Elliott, however,
disregarded any intention to reflect
upon the character and personal integ-
rity Of the gentlemen in charge Of the
cotton oil mill, but insisted that to
protect the interest of his client, the
suit had been instituted Judge Camp
bell reviewed the allegations of the
petition in relation to the law govern
ing receiverships and decided that no
just cause for action had been submit
ted to the court. The application for
a receiver was therefore denied at
plaintiffs cost. Dr. Trahan will like
1y take an appeal from the ruling of
the court.
The Broussard Cotton Oil Company
was organized in 1907 with a capital
stock of 100000. and the plant is
considered one of the finest in the
State. Dr. Geo. r. DeLaureal is pres
ident, Paul Billeaud secretary, and the
stockholders and directors are among
the most prominent and substantial
citizens of the parish. 1t is the inten-
ton of the stockholders to individually
assume a small debt on the plant, be-
ing confident that the enterprise will
eventually prove not only successful
business venture, but an important
factor in the progress and develop
ment of the community.

ATTEMPTED HOLD UP.
Negro Tries to Rob Deputy LatioIais
Near the Compress and is
Landed in Jail.

Sunday night about eleven o'clock
as Deputy Sheriff F. M. Latiolais was
returning from visit to a sick friend,
he was set upon near the compress by
Pierre Willis, a negro, who was lying
in wait in the hedge and bushes. The
bold highwayman sprang toward Mr.
Latiolais' buggy and would have seiz-
ed him had not the officer quickly
drawn his pistol and covered his
would-be assailant. Willis was prompt
ly brought to Jail and the proper
charge lodged against him. He de-
clares that in the darkness he did not
recognize Deputy Latiolais or else he
would not have dared to make his at
tempt at highway robbery.

JASPER CAPTURED.
Negro Wife Slayer Caught by Sheriff
Lacoste Friday After Eluding Ar
rest for Five Years.

Last Friday Sheriff Lacoste captu,-
ed IN Jefferson parish the negro wife
slayer, Ozer Jasper, and lodged ,inl
safe in the parish Jail hece. Juspcr
had led the sheriff difficult chase
for nearly five years, successfully
eluding all efforts to capture him.
Sheriff Lacoste not only devoted much
time and labor in the search and chase
but expended quite a sum of money
out of his personal funds and natur-
ly feels considerable satisfaction in
at last bagging his game Several
times Jasper almost fell into the nets
set for his capture, but always man.
aged in some way to foil his pursuers
at the last moment A few DAYS ago
it was learned that Jasper had re-
turned to the State and was in the vi
cinity of New Orleans. Sheriff La
coste Immediately set out and with the
assistance of the local officers of JEFF
fersOn parish located his man. A cor
don was thrown around the negro's
hiding place in order to prevent any
possibility of escape and Jasper, rea-
lizing the futility of resistance, sur
rendered.
At first he tried to deny his iden-
Iity, but finally confessed the crime
and begged for mercy.
The crime for which Jasper is held
was committed Jan. 5, 1905, at the
sugar refinery and was of pc
culiar atrocity Becoming insanely
jealous of his wife and frenzied under
the influence of liquor, he stabbed the
woman to death before any one pres
ent could interfere. Escaping under
cover of darkness, he fled the State
and by his own statement went to
New York and spent some time there,
eventually returning to Louisiana, but
always carefully avoiding this section
of the country. He declares that he
the entire affair over, but
is ready for trial and begs the inter-
cession of his former employers and
friends. Jasper has been indicted for
murder and will be tried. at the next
term of the District Court in October.
