GAME COMMISSION
Will Have an Exhibit at the State Fair
of Louisiana.

New Orleans States: The officials of
the State Fair Association, according
to letter from Oscar Bowling, mem
ber from Shreveport of the State Game
Commission, to President Miller of the
commission, have offered FIVE acres of
ground in the fair grounds park to be
used by the commission for an exhibit
of fish and game of Louisiana
President Miller has stated that he
referred the matter to Inspector
Thompson, who will investigate the pos
sibility of making such an exhibit and
report his findings.
Next week Inspector Thompson will
leave to collect deer for the deer pre-
serves that the commission has estab-
lished in Washington and Bossier par
ishes. There are 1900 acres in the
Washington preserve and 10000 acres
in the Bossier tract. Only native deer,
as already determined upon by the com
mission, SO as to guard against any dis
ease from imported animals, will be
used in stocking the preserves

An Outline of the New Building Re-

Postmaster S. F. Steere has received
from the supervising architect at Wash
ington, D. c., an outline of the new
postofice building, for which Congress
has appropriated 100000. This sketch
has been submitted to Mr.. Steere for
suggestions and approval. 1t is designed
to give all possible comfort to its occu-
pants coupled with facilities for busi
ness. The building is to be modern in
all its appointments. Including the
will face I22 feet on Texas street and
extend II feet on Marshall street.
1t will be striking in appearance. With
this preliminary, which is gratifying,
especially to those who were active in
their efforts for this new building, it
will be question of short time when
"a change to temporary quarters will
follow, and then will begin the work of
tearing down the old building.
1t will require probably two years be-
fore the new building is completed

THE PEOPLES INTEREST
An Agreement of the Traction Company
With the City-It Should Be Effective
and in Force

If the Caucasian had greater inter
est in the Traction Company than in
the people, of which it is one, it would
not be so active in urging the fullest re-
cognition of the people From the be-
ginning of this agitation connected with
the question of transfers the Caucasian
has viewed the Traction Company not
as a corporation, but as an individual,
as a citizen exercising its sovereign ca
pacity, and it is by this measurement
that we will continue the consideration
of the issue involved in the question of
transfers.
Until a few days since it was moi
known, except to a few, that there was
an agreement between the Traction
Company and the Clay of Shreveport in
connection with the transfer of children
attending schools. On September 10
1897, the City Council granted to the
City Railway Company and to the
Shreveport Belt Railway Company the
rights to certain streets. In this agree
ment, accepted by the president of thest
two companies, in section three it i:
provided that FIVE cents shall be the fare
on each belt, and school children three
cents, with the privilege of transfer il
going to and from school.
According to this agreement all ehil
dren going to school are entitled tt
transfers and to the rate fixed in tn
agreement,
i 1t may be observed that with this spe
cifc agreement applying to school chill
dren and to the fact that this compan
must keep in repair whatever portion 0
the street as is occupied by their tracks
there is little to be granted to the pee
pie as an equivalent for the extensio
of the valuable franchises demanded b
the company.

PEACH BASKET HAT
Milliners Favor the Aeroplane as New
Style of Headgear

A telegram from Chicago states that
the Association of Milliners assembled
at the Fine Arts building launched the
eoraplane as the ne wstyle of headgear,
put a ban on the peach basket hat and
decreed the three-cornered hat of Louis
XVI days as the stunning bonnet for
the coming winter months.
The new creation in millinery art re-
sembles the aeropane in shape, having
two long feathers at either end and
curved rim. Because of its light trim
ming it weighs considerably less than
one pound.
Never mind the height nor the shape,
if it's the style, feathers or no feathers,
it will be visible at every turn of the
streets.

HEAVY FROST
Experienced in Michigan and Wiscon-
sin-Danaged the Crops

While the temperature has ranged to
sweltering heat in this section of the
world, in the Northern States, as fore
casted by W T. Foster, there kaKe been
damage 70 growing crops by frosts. 1t
has been reported by the Weather Bu-
reau that this years frost, September 2,
has been paralleled only once in twenty
four years. Such early frosts involve
great damage and losses.
In Michigan and Wisconsin and in
! Indiana the vegetable gardens were fro
zen. In sections of Missouri late corn
was damaged by frost.
From Eau Claire, Wis, is the report
lof an almost total loss of the tobacco
potatoo, buckwheat and late corn crops
in neighboring territory. Ice formed al
places. One farmer calculated his to,
bacco loss at $1,000.
From Muskegon, Mich, a loss O
100000 in Muskegon and Oceana coun
ties is reported, the frost having beer
the heaviest since 1860. In the center
of the tobacco industry of Wisconsin
around La Crosse, the crop was totally
destroyed. Garden products leaped VI
lin price around Fort Wayne, Ind, be
fore the day was half spent.

CLASH in COURT
A Witness Resents the Imputation of
an Attorney.

During the trial of Bell Carroll,
white man, in the District Court in ses-
sion at Mansfield Thursday, ex-Judge
Lee, the defendants attorney, in his ar
gument, criticised one of the State wit
nesses, who, becoming offended, arose
from his seat in the back of the hall and
disputed the assertion of the attorney.
The Judge reprimanded both of the par
ties, and Judge Lee resuced his argu-
ment, but again criticised the testimony
of one of the witnesses. The presiding
Judge fined him SIS, but afterwards re-
mitted it.
y This incident provoked considerable
excitement and is one of the exceed
ngly rare instances when witness will
take issue with an attorney during an
examination or in the argument of the
case The only wonder is that such
clashes are not of frequent occurrence,
especially in police courts.
