STATE PRINTING.

Baton Rouge, March 18.-
Among the important matters
which the coming session OF the
General Assembly will take up
is that of completing the reform
Of the State printing. Under the
leadership Of Representative Tho
mas of Caddo Parish. some chang
es were made in the State print
ing bill which has been a great
saving to the State, but there are
other changes, it is pointed out,
which are badly needed, and
these the coming session of the
Legislature VIII probably estab-
fish. The bill, which came as a
result of the printing investiga-
ton forced by Mr.. Thomas, al
lows each department to let its
own contrad for its printing.
The bill allows each department
to secure bids from any pr nting
Office in tie State. The. doors are
ton which resulted from this bid
ing has given good work, and re-
suited in the printing bills Of The
several departments being lower
than ever before.
But the law still builds a Chi
nese wall around the legislature
printing. Even under the new
printing bill the bidding upon
the legislature printing is confin-
ed to he Baton Rouge newspa-
pers, for the measure provides
that the State printer must des-
ignate paper having the mailing
privileges in Baton Rouge a he
ofticlal journal The biggest pint
ing bill is made by the Ieqisia-
ture. The b ggest money to The
printer comes cut Of the legisla-
tive work, and for this work ONLY
the Baton Rouge newspapers can
bid.
This is the feature of the law
that The coming session of the Leg
stature will probably change. It
is certain that an effort will be
made t. change it. giving any one
IN the State the right to bid upon
the State printing, and carrying
with this change the abolition of
the official journal, as it IS now
known. II the Legislature gives
itself the same opportunity to Sc
cure bids upon lis work as it. gives

The Legislature now prints. and
has been printing for some years.

The Legislature also prints in

A WARM FIRE
IN A BASEMENT
Fire In Lower Part of Old Brick Resi-.
dence on Fulton Street, Caught
Fire Last Night.

Starting, presumably from an ex
ploding oil lamp, fire destroyed all of
the household effects in the basement
of the old brick residence, between
Tenth and Eleventh on Fulton streets,
at 1918 last night. George Jones, a
colored man, and his wife, occupied
the lower part of the house, but were
away at the time Of the fire and, and
the lamp, which was found blown to
pieces, was probably the cause of the
conflagration.
The fire department made a swift
run to the house, but for the most
part the household effects belonging
to the colored man and his wife, were
badly burned, including the wood work
Of the room. Two lines of hose were
laid, but were not used, the chemical
fluid being used to put out the fire.

HEALTHY PLANTS
Require the Most Careful Attention
as Well as Good Soil.

Did you ever see a rosebud which
despite the most beneficent environ
ment of soil---or sunshine-and of at

a healthy growth?
A ton of manure will not help a
plant that has canker eating out its
heart.
You must destroy the cause before
you can remove the effect.
You cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and
rubbing in vaseline, etc.
You must look to the cause of the

Hosers-eriIIey Company Which Ap.
peared at Grand Opera House
Last Evening Appealed to
Popular Taste OF Audience
BOTH CLEVER ARTISTS
Harpst and Reader Were Entertain
ers of Sufficient Ability to Give
Audience Rare Enjoyment
in Final "Y" Number.

All those who were present last
evening at the closing number of the
Y. M. c. A. course We're delighted with
the splendid program given by the
Rogers-Grilley Co. The program was
in the form Of musical and literary
entertainment, the first number being
a harp solo by Mr.. Rogers, I'm
promptu," his encore being Mendels
sohn's Spring Song, which was played
with all the delicacy and grace so ne
cessary in this selection His next
number was reverie, followed by a
Wooden Shoe Dance Both of these
numbers delighted the audience, but
his reverie of southern airs, including
Old Black Joe and Dixie, took the
audience by storm, for these old ia
miliar melodies played as Mr.. Rogers
played them, could not help but
please. A selection entitled 1.-THE
Fairy Dance" was his last number.
The strong point in Mr.. Rogers
playing was his sweet singing tone
and brilliant technique. He is read
er of great ability and kept the audi
ence laughing most Of the time, as
his selection were mostly of humor
Gus nature, and were the kind ap
pealing to the popular taste His first
number was "A Straggler of 10" by A
Conan Doyle, treating of the battle OF
Waterloo. His impersonation of Old
Brewster Gregory was so real thai
one could almost see the tottering old
war veteran. One Of his best mum
bers was The Sad Tale Of Bride
and Groom Who Went to Europe on
la Wedding Trip" Another favorite
was the selection from Shakespeare
Midsummer Nights Dream as played
by group of amateurs. His next
number was "Injuns, satire on the
late craze for Indian song, with harp
accompaniment. Mr.. Grilley's imper
sonation of an Eaglishman in NOV
ing picture show made a great hit
and showed his great ability as an
impersonator. His last number was
In the Fall" by William Penny.
This, the last program of the Y. NJ.
G. A. course, was indeed fitting
close to series of very fine numbers,
which have been given during the win
ter, though each has been enjoyed to
the utmost, none more thoroughly
than this one.

facts of which will be well remem-

son, got into a mix-up, when the
father abused his wife. Mrs. Francen
made application for divorce shortly
after.
Francen has been in Peoria for a
couple of weeks and has just return

in jail today and in the morning will
be taken before Judge Mcnamara for
his hearing.

A wide choice will be extended the
voters of Keokuk at the primary cleo
ton, which will be held Monday. The
polls will be open from Z O'clock in
the morning until o'clock in the
evening, and it is predicted by some
of the old politicians that the heaviest
vote in years will be cast.
Speculation is rife as to who the
victorious candidates will be when the
votes at the primary election are
counted, Some think they can pick
one of the men for mayor and two for
councilmen, but outside of that predic.
tons seem to be at random.
Candidates for mayor are DR. w.

this ward will be particularly heavy
There were eighty-three in ALL eigh-
teen of which were new. One of the
registration clerks stated that many
who have not voted for several years
registered, and for this reason 1T Is
believed that many votes will be cast.
