EXPOSITION BILL CARRIED

The Senate asst Wednesday
passed the Exposition Bill by al
most a unanimous vote. imposing
a tax on the people of Louisiana
of 6-S and SO mills to raise
100000 in the interest of the
Exposition which will be submit
ted TO the people for their accept
ance or rejection. The only op-
posing vote in the Senate was the
Hon. Jos. A. Provost, who con-
tended that the tax was not prop
erly divided. He thought that
New Orleans would be more than
doubly benefited and for that rea-
son should bear a larger proper
ton of the tax. Next Tuesday the
entire body of Senators and Rep
resentatives will make the trip to
Washington to use their Influence
in favor Of the City Of New Or
leans as a rival against San Fran
cisco. that has already secured
$5.000.000 with probably several
millions more in sight.

method of pumping water from the

The cry will of course be
raised, that New Iberia has al

dollars in sinking wells in antici-

abandoned as no drinking water
could be obtained. All of these

A STARRY VISITOR.

just as the comet was supposed
to be swinging its tail between the
earth and the sun on Tuesday
evening there happened one of
those peculiar things that made
people think for a time that real
ly there was something in the
theory that this tail is composed
Of lot Of meteors. 1t was early
in the evening, about half past
eight. Some good people were
not yet in bed. Some were on
their porticos and some were on
the streets enjoying the cool Of
the nights breezes.
Then happened along this celes-
tial visitor and for the brief frac-
tion of time included in the tick
OF persons watch the sky was il
Illuminated and the City became
bright as if a new sun had aris-
en-. In fact the sudden brightness
Of the sky and all underneath was
20 startling that there were at
least five thousand breaths held
while the meteor passed in all its
glory and faded into darkness af-
ter a grand explosion to the
Northwest.
This meteor, the largest that
has been seen here in many years
came from the Southeast. 1t
burst into sight just above the
horizon and sailed majestically
overhead in a Northwesterly direc-
ton, seemingly passing over the
City. And as it sailed along it
actually spit fire on all sides.
Blazing sparks flew in every d.
rection and it resembled minia-
ture comet close at hand with its
trail Of fire behind. Bright as
day almost when the meteor was di-
rectly overhead, the streets took
on . peculiar appearance and as
suddenly became twice as dark
when the shooting star disap-
peared after one grand explosion
1t the Northwestern horizon. One
almost imagined that the noise Of
The bursting fragment of some
planet could be heard.
Such visitors as this are but sell +
iom recorded. Usually they come
IN October and November, but this
Spring visit is probably due to the
presence of the comet which has
stirred celestial things up consid-
,rable.

Seth Bullock for

President May Offer Forestry Job to
Present United States
Marshal.

WASHINGTON, Jan lin casting about
for successor to Mr.. Pinchot to head the
forestry service it was reported today
that President Taft might offer the place
to Seth Bullock, United States marchal
for South Dakota. Albert F. Potter, desig-
mated as the acting head of the service
seems to be the leading candidate, but
there are persistent rumors that the presi-
dent may decide on an entirely new man.
Mr.. Bullock is in many respects as close
a friend of former President Roosevelt as
is Mr.. Pinchot. He was once chief of the
forest rangers in the Black Hills and is
thoroughly familiar wit hthe whole sub
ject OF forestry.
The political siauation in South Dakota

mayor was present with Mrs. Dahlman and
the ovation caused him some pleasurable
embarrassment.
