Chairman Duncan requested to
know if all stock had been sub
scribed Internationally. This
precipitated a general discussion,
which was finally cleared up by
the statement from Mr.. Brian
that the champions for Verda and
Pollock had agreed that all SUBJ
scriptions signed for these places
in the last few days were condi-
toned upon the locating of the
fair at these places. In other
words, if Pollock won, Verda
claimed the right to withdraw
about $500 subscribed, and if
Verda won, Pollock claimed the
right to draw down about $4,000.
Messrs. Williams, Groves, Nu-
gent and others joined in a dis
cussion of the proposition, which
was finally agreed to by all pres
ent, whereupon Verda, Pollock,
Colfax and Dry Prong were re-
spectively placed in nomination
as candidates for the parish fair
site.
Before calling the roll the
chairman was requested to ask
that the representatives Of Pol
lock and Verda pledge that the
stock subscribed at those places
would be made bona fide subscrip-
tons to the capital stock of the
Grant Parish Fair Association, in
case of either place being select
ed as the site. Mr.. Brian, on be-
half of the Verda subscribers,
gave the assurance that every
dollar represented by the shares
subscribed for that place would
be signed to the charter as capt.
tai stock. Messrs. Foster and
Groves gave the same assurance
on behalf of the Pollock SUBJ
scribers.
Upon calling the roll and count
ing the votes the following was
found to be the result: Pollock.
1886 votes; Verda, 2168 votes;
Colfax, IS votes; Dry Prong, 10
votes.
Pollock having received ma
jority of all votes cast, Chairman
Duncan announced that town as
having been duly selected as the
place to hold the parish fair. Mr..
Brian congratulated the Pollock
folks on their success, and on
his motion, duly seconded by an
other Verda citizen, the vote was
made unanimous for the selection.
Pollock being decided upon as
the place to hold the fair, the
next thing to signing up the char
ter became organization on a ba-
sis for its control by directors in
that locality. In order to facili-
tate matters Messrs. M. C. Nu-
gent and C. H. Mccain handed
in their resignation as members
of the board Of directors, the un-
derstanding being that the men,
bers under the charter can elect
to fill vacancies on their board.
Thus the boad of directors and
the officers heretofore announced
are to act until their successors
can be regularly elected by the
stockholders at the close of the
annual parish fair, as is provided
in the charter adopted.

Pollock Wins the Parish Fair
Verda MADE Gallant Fight to Secure the Location, but
in the End Met Defeat by Vote of 1886 to 2168
Shares Among the Stockholders.

The most interesting and profit
able contest we have seen in
Grant parish for a number Of
years took place in the Colfax
court house on Saturday, March
18th, it being the meeting of the
subscribers to stock in the Grant
Parish Fair Association to decide
upon the location of parish fair
and to finally perfect the organi-
cation.
Fifty or sixty citizens from
various portions of the parish
were present, representing them
selves individually and holding
proxies to vote a large number
of shares of stock for their neigh
bors and friends. Great interest
in the location of the place to
hold the fair was quite evident.
This was brought about by our
Verda friends having gone into
the field with the avowed inten-
ton of subscribing a majority of
the $1,000 stock necessary to
make the fair a going concern.
The charter agreed upon provided
for SIS, 600 capital stock, with the
right to begin business when
So, 900 had been subscribed.
At the meeting at Dry Prong
on March 4th, it was found that
less than 81, 500 had been SUBJ
scribed, and Messrs. H. L. Brian
and C. L. Purvis, of Verda, who
were present on that occasion,
announced that the citizens of
that town proposed to subscribe
the balance of the stock neces-
sary to make up So, 900, and if so
they proposed to control the loca-
ton of the fair and have Verda
selected as the place to hold it.
This announcement very natur-
ally put our Pollock friends on
their mettle. All along they,
have claimed that they were en-
titled to have the fair held in
that town, because they inaugu-
rated and held the first fair ever
held in Grant parish last year.
So, when they found that Verda
meant business, and intended to
take possession and beat them in
spite of their much Wanted
claims, they began to hunt around
for the necessary financial back
ing to make good their privilege.
Thus on last Saturday, when
the meeting was called to order,
Messrs. Brian and Purvis, to-
gether with other Verda citizens,
were present with the evident in
tention of capturing the fair if
possible to do so. Likewise
Messrs. G. A. Foster, G. 0.
Groves, r. H. East and others,
of Pollock, were very much in
evidence with the determination
to capture the fair for that town.
The meeting was called to order
by j. w. Duncan, chairman of
the committee on organization,
and H. G. Goodwin and E. A.
Mathis were requested to act as
secretaries.
On motion of H. L. Brian, Sec
onded by G. A. Foster, the chair
man appointed committee of
three on credentials, to examine
the subscription books, ascertain
the amount of subscriptions, and
who were entitled to act as prox-
les. The chair appointed as said
committee H. L. Brian, G. A.
Foster and j. A. Williams.
The meeting took a recess
while the committee prepared its
report.
After the intermission of an
hour the committee reported that
they found stock had been sub
scribed to the amount of S.. 788.

The Costly Monroe Doctrine.

1t would be interesting if somebody
would calculae how much it has cost
Uncle Sam to perform his presumed
obligations as guarantor of the Mon
roe Doctrine. In 1898 he fought a
war, "freed" Cuba, and acquired
various colonial liabilities. That war
introduced him into the first circles of
world powers, and the effort to travel
in such society has kept his household
expenses steadily advancing until now
they exceed billion a year. Before
the Spanish war, billion biennially
was supposed to be scandalously high.
To mention just a few cases, the
Monroe theory nearly embroiled US
in a war with Great Britain; it made
US the financial guarantors of Santo
Domingo; and the same of Venezuela;
il forced us to drive the dictator
Eel ava out of Nicaragua; it has re-
Gently involved us in general compli-
cation of Central American affairs
and finally, it brought about the mo-
Utilization of great American army
on the borders of Mexico, as a warn
ing to that country that it must be

A comfortabIe. ATTRACTIVE Prison.


New South Wales, Australia, since
the advent of woman suffrage, has
proceeded upon the principle that
is too good for the women
even for those who are being deprived
of their liberty. The new peniten-
tiary for women at Long Bay is prob
ably the most up-to-date, comfortable,
and even luxurius, place of its kind in
the world. 1t is fitted up with hot
and cold baths, with we'll ventilated
cells painted in pleasing colors, cleo
trio lighted and stocked with suitable
reading matter. The prisoners are
graded according to the most advanced
ideas and special privileges are award
ed for good behavior. The wardresses
are all educated and refined women,
and committee of ladies of Sydney
has charge of those who are dis
charged from the prison. Gardening,
dressmaking, cooking and washing are
taught.
If incarceration is supposed to be ar
example to wrong-doers, there is un'
doubtedly a point at which comfort
and luxury in prisons may be carried
too far. On the other hand, it II
doubtful whether anyone is ever in
iured by kind treatment if intelligent
ly directed. The Australian state ha
set good pace in regarding these un
fortunate women as in need of treat
ment rather than of punishment
Long Bay is moral and physical hos
pital; not, in the strict sense, a peni

BUG WITH SCENT ARRIVES.
Odoriferous Insect Pays Coast Regu
lar Summer Visit.

Odoriferous Insect Pays Coast Regu-
lar Summer Visit.
Portland, ORA species of the he
teropterous branch of the great he
miptera clan has made its reappear-
ance in Portland. People who do not
care if they hurt the feelings of the
insect refer to him generally as the
"stinkbug."
In their former visit the insects ap-
peared in such great numbers that
they made life fairly miserable for
sensitive persons.
This summer the odoriferous bug
has made his temperance at several
of the summer resorts, taking especial
pleasure apparently in coming round
and breaking up pleasant parties as
sembled about the campfires at night.
In Protland number of them have
been noticed lately in stores, in some
of the saloons and in few cases IN
the parkways. They are simple ap-
pearing bug, done in quiet colors,
gray or black, but they won't STAND
for annoyance, and if one inadvertent-
ly disturbs them they retaliate by
making the circumambient atmos'
phere sufficiently uncomfortable FOL
all concerned.

BOY STARTS A PANIC
Cry Of Fire Causes Death Of rs
At Moving Picture Show.
Crazed Crowd Stumbles and Blocks
Doorway-Many TrampIe on
Bodies of Fallen.

Canonsburg, Pa.-Twenty-six per-
sons were suffocated or trampled to
death, rs were seriously injured and
30 were less severely hurt at sense
less panic at moving picture show
in the Canonsburg opera house, &C
cording to revised figures.
How foolish the panic was devel-
oped fully when those involved related
just what occurred.
There was no fire. The fatal rush
at the exit was due to baseless fear.
1t developed that not even a spark
flashed. The film broke with a snap
ping noise and a bright light was
thrown on the screen. A frightened
boy imagined it was fire and uncon-
sciously shouted out the death knell of
more than score of persons as he
started to rush for the exit.
Bolus Dubrowski, a huge miner,
jumped from his seat and ran for the
same exit. In moment there was a
fighting, struggling mass after him.
At the head of a narrow stairway,
which leads to the street, the miner
tripped. AS he rolled down the stairs,
he swept from their feet many persons
who were waiting their turn to enter
the theater. Soon there was horri-
BILE pile of men, women and children
at the foot of the steps. Dubrowski
probably was the first person killed.
Firemen, policemen and level
headed persons untangled the human
mass. The unhurt and those slightly
injured were pulled from the top OF
the pile. AS they gained the street
they ran about screaming like mani
acs. The seriously injured were SEN
home or taken to nearby houses.
Coroner Hoffran has begun a rigit
Investigation. Measurements made
by the coroner's jury showed the stair
way leading to the door of the oper'
house to be only six feet and a hal
wide, while the doorway at the bottom
is not more than eight feet high.
1t is customary for the management
of the theater to give two or thre
performances each evening, and tn
moving picture machine operator wa
about to complete the first sessio
when film parted. Some of the aud
fence had begun to leave the building
and others were on theSstairway CON
ing up, when Dubrowski began hi
wild flight. When the doorway hs
been filled up, others walked over II
bodies of the fallen and breaking II
glass transom over the door, crawl'
through and dropped into the street.
