EXCURSION STEAMER
 SINKS; 195 DROWNED
Rammed by German Liner In
 MOntGVideO HaTbOT.

MontiYideo, Aug. 25.-In q driving rainstorm the Argentine excursion steamer Colombia was rammed by the North German Lloyd steamer Schlesien at the entrance of Montevideo harbor.
 The Colombia was entering port, and the Schlesien was outward bound for 1 Bremen. The Colombia's bow was crushed in, and she sank almost inn mediately. At least 195 persons were killed or drowned as d result of the accident.
 The Colombia carried about 220 pas sengers and Il crew of forty-eight men. Most of the passengers were asleep at the time, and q panic followed the crash.
 Almost immediately small boats put out to the sinking steamer, but the work of rescue was rendered very diff ficult and dangerous by the high sea which was running. About seventy persons were taken into the boats and brought ashore Most of the dead are women and children.
 A majority of the survivors are men, as the women were pushed aside in the rush for the boats. While great numbers of women and children were drowned, almost every one of the ships complement was saved.
 The Colombia was carrying excur- sionists from Buenos Aires to the festi- val at Montevideo, and the disaster caused the keenest emotion. The Uruguayan government in consequence postponed the fetes arranged for the celebration of the inauguration of the port.
 The Schlesien, which was only slight ly damaged. was detained here by the port authorities. Her commander at- tributes the collision to the wind and the high seas, which made the steam ships almost unmanageable in the har- bor entrance.
 The channel is now partially ob- structed by the wreck of the Colom- bia. Most of the survivors of that yes sel were taken from the masts, and many of them were injured.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The military strength of the United States will be reduced to SO,OOO men by July l. 1910. Instructions to this effect were sent to the secretary of war by President Taft.
 The fact that such instructions were issued to army officers was complete surprise. To carry into effect the presl- dents order it will be necessary to di- minish the enlisted force by nearly 10 per cent, and in the next.few months 1t is probable there will be a tempo rary suspension of recruiting.

many mothers who simply sacrifice all
their time to the babies while they are
little? ! made up my mind before
baby came that he would have to con-

6. and he doesn't interfere with our
evenings. We can take him with us

that he will be perfectly happy while

The management OF our Parish Fair
made creditable exhibit at the State Fair
and tried hard to secure the blue ribbon
this, the fourth time. We missed it by a
narrow margin. The writer feels genuine
regret over this, and, if more on account
of one man than another, he is Mr.. W. j
Dawson of this place. Several of the best
citizens of our parish have spent no little
effort toward the success Of our four
fairs. Surely they have done about al
that could be expected by an exacting
public. But, if we are correctly informed
Mr.. Dawson has worked just little harder
than any of them. He is apparently un'
firing when it comes to something for the
good of our fair. Better luck another
time, Judge.

that Benton High School took first prize

work and is still growing. Only this week

Old and Reliable Dealers.

The Henry Enders Furniture Company
stands in the front rank of Shreveport's
business establishments, and deservedly,
too, for Mr.. Enders is an energetic and
popular gentleman, who has demonstrated
to the satisfaction of everybody that he
has the ability to manage the rapidly in
creasing business which the quality of
goods kept in stock has brought to the
store. The Enders, father and sons, sue
cessively, have been in the furniture bus
mess in Shreveport for fifty years, and the
senior member of the firm having spent
nearly all of his life in the furniture BUSH
ness, it is no exaggeration to say that his
establishment has no superior in North
Louisiana.
