Youtonnieres for Editors.

Baton Rouge.-The members of the
committees having in charge the pro-

ruary 8 have decided upon program
which will also be a souvenir OF the oc-
casion. 1t was at first intended to nave
some sort of button embematlc OF
Baton Rouge and the board of trade,
but the short space intervening before
the arrival of the editors made the idea
unfeasible, SO the members Of the COM
mittee have decided to recommend a
neat little program, with such terse IN
formation as is possible to get on II,
and also a ribbon badge Of old gold and
purple, suitably worded and attached TO

Floating Ice in River.

Baton Rouge.-For the first time IN
four years immense blocks of ice were
seen floating down the Mississippi river
past this place, and if the predictions OF
the river men are correct the mass Of
floating ice will increase for the next
several days, and perhaps for week.
About four years ago the ice came down
the river in such large blocks and IN
such numbers that it delayed river traf-
tic, and it was found necessary to tie up
the ferry for couple of days. THIS
time the ice is not seriously interfering
with traffic, although it may increase II
volume to such an extent that it wousc
become dangerous. The ice Is the frs
Of that which three weeks ago played
havoc in Kentucky, Ohio and above st
