Houma has organized pro-
gressive league and together
with the Southern Pacific will
advertise the resources of that
parish all over the country. We
suppose if any such attemp pt
were made here there would be
opposition from that same non
progressive element that does
not want progress or matters
political to get beyond their con.
troll.
Louisiana will now have the com

In fsticuf at Reno Nevada, on
last Monday James Jefferies and
Jack Johnson met in battle royal
for the championship of the world.
The contest had been eagerly watch
ed all over the world, but particu-
larly in this country, both being
Americans. The contest went hi
teen rounds and was witnessed by
thousands of people. The fight
was to have taken place at San
Francisco, but the state authorities
got busy, latter pressure was brought
to bear,and the fight was called off,
being contrary to law, after all pre-
parations had been made. This
necessitated the moving of the loca
ton of the big mill across the bor-
ders of the State.
The amount each could have
received from the royalty paid
by the picture machine com
panies was small fortune in
itself. Johnson sold out at
ridiculously low figure while JEFF
fries held on,refusing one hun
dred thousand dollars for his
share in the contest. The fight
finished with a blow in the 18th
round and makes Johnson cham
pion of the world.

Houma celebrated the fourth of

was the orator of the occasion. On
returning Col. Wall passed over the
Thibodaux Bridge and was held up
for toll. He was perfectly incensed
and promised to return to the Legis-
lature and reconsider his vote and
vote for Bill $50. He was always
under the impression that it was
an outrage, but had no idea it was
so stupendous. The colonel says
that he heard of a wagon being
made to pay but never extra charge
for the cargo, whether it was pota-
toes, onions or human beings: This
is the case here, the driver pays
for the hack and then the indivi-
duals are made to pony up.
