How the Rates Are Raised.
The following is the method by
which. the petition alleges, the rates

committees:
Each Of the defendants is a member
+ of the Western trunk line commit
tee. There is a freight committee,
composed of the freight traffic man
ayers or general freight agents of
each Of the defendants. The commit
tee meets once every month. When
! ever any defendant contemplates a
change in any rates, rules or regul@-
/ tons, the officer or official representing
such defendant on such committee suC
gests such change to the chairman Of
the committee, who then dockets the
same for consideration ana discussion
: at the next meeting Of the freight
committee. At that meeting the mat
ter Is brough up for consideration.

PINK PILLS HELPED
FROM THE FIRST
Parents of Girls Approaching

the Treatment Which Re-
stored This California
Woman to Health.

When the young girl develops into wo
manhood there4s always the danger of
general breakdown unless the blood is
pure and red. This is especially true il
she overstudies or overworks.
It is a danger, however, that can be
easily averted ii the warning symptoms
of impoverished blood are promptly heed
ed. Pallor, loss of spirits, depression,
lack OF ambition and shortness OF breath
are some of these symptoms which can
not be mistaken. To ensure heathful
development steps must be taken at once
to build up the blood, whenever these
symptoms are present. The experience
of hundreds of women has proved that
Dir. Williams Pink Pills are the best
medicine for this purpose. They are
certain blood builder and strengthen and
give health to the entire body.
Mrs. W. NJ. Lynn, of No. 10 Flurne

Result of an Agreement.

The petition charges that the al
vanced rates are the direct outcome of
agreements in suppression of competi-
tion and of an unlawful combination in
restraint of interstate trade, arrived at
and made effective through the agency
Of the Western trunk line committee,
and that the acts of the combination in
advancing rates are the result of con
splracy.
Further charges are made that the
unreasonable and excessive rates fixed
without competition apply to a vast
number Of commodities d prime utility
and daily necessity, and that the unrea-
souable advances in freight charges APP
ply to approximately sixty per cent Of
the commodities carried and VIII in
crease freight charges in amounts vary
ing from ten to twenty per cent Of the
rate heretofore charged. The petition
closes by saying that unless the unrea-
sonabIe schedule Of rates is euiosned It
Will become effective june l, and the
citizens Of the United States who ship
commodities through rhe Western trunk
line territory viii be compelled To pay
arbitrary and excessive rates.

associations Of similar character to
which portions of the United States

of the defendants are members The
complainant charges the committee
was organized and is maintained in

Part three of the petition says that
in 1909 or early in 1910 the defendants
conspired together to make a general

Fontenot for Sheriff. Q. Z. GuiIloFy for Clerk,

Everything seems as lovely as
a June bride in Evangeline par
ish, and it is probable that there
will be but one ticket out in the
field on August 9th, the day Of
the Democratic primary election.
It is the purpose of the Evan
gelineites to have everything
harmonious, to bury the hatchet
as far as parochial contests are
concerned.
At the meeting of the Parish
Democratic Executive Committee
of Evangeline, which is the Po-
lice Jury of that parish, last
Saturday, Representative Paulin
Z. Fontenot was nominated for
Sheriff, and Yves L. Fontenot for
Representative ofthe new parish,
neither having any opposition.
Messrs. o. E. Guillory and
Vim. Clark entered the field for
Clerk of Court; Messrs. Adraste
Lafleur and N. Guillory, Jr., for
Assessor; Drs. Armand Lafleur
and z. H. Littell for Coroner.
Since then, however, Mr.. Clark
for Clerk and Mr.. Guillory for
Assessor, in behalf of harmony,
have withdrawn from the race.
It is now believed that one Of
the candidates for Coroner will
withdraw, leaving the sweet
named parish without rival cam
didates at the election on the 9th.

A we'll authenticated story Of
the desperation Of convict

1t is to the effect that negro

derson that he was sick, and
could not work. The Captain
ordered him to 60 on with his
work, saying that he was not
sick. He again begged to be
permitted to quit work for q
while, and when the Captain
threatened to whip him if he did
not 90 to work, the convict pick
ed up his spade, walked 10 tree
stump near by, and severed four
fingers Of his right hand with the
spade.
Medical aid was summoned,
and the hand treated, after which
he was laid across q barrel and
whipped.
