ABOUT FINAL pkssAeE or THE

ABLE THAT 1T WILL BE BLOCK
ED FOR SOME TIME.

Washington, d. c., April 2O.-The
debate on the Canadian reciprocity bill
was resumed today, shortly after the
house convened, and an effort will be
made to get vote on measure before
adjournment. The friends of the bill
opened the discussion.
Big Fight Ahead.
With general debate still under way
and with score of amendments ready
to be offered as soon as the measure
reaches consideration under the i've
minute rule, it was apparent early
today that the democratic organization
in the house has stiff fight ahead
of 1t before the Canadian reciprocity
bill can be brought to a vote.
There Is not the slightest doubt of the
bin passing by big majority but the
opponents of reciprocity are threaten
ing to resort to obstructive tactics and
will demand tedious roll calls on the
various amendments to be offered. The
democrats in charge Of the bill are
determined that no amendment threat
ening the integrity Of the Canadian
agreement shall be adopted.

Rice Crop is Per Cent Short,

New Orleans.-The Louisiana rice
yield will be Is per cent less than was
anticipated by the planters, according
to Frank Godchaux, president of the
Louisiana State Rice Milling Com
pany, who attributes the shortage to
rains and bad weather throughout this
section. There has been no deteriora-
ton in the quality, however .'The
planters figured on Is per cent bigger
yield than they are harvesting" said
Mr. Godchaux. This shortage pre-
walls throughout Louisiana, Arkansas
and Texas. There is an increasing
demand for rice products in this coun-
try, owing ito the fact that there has
been big shortage in foreign coun-
tries. The brewers are taking so per
cent more of our rice than they have
taken heretofore On account of this
shortage in the supply from abroad.
Then, too, some of the foreign coun-
tries have put an embargo on their
rice SO as to keep it from home con-

Brakeman Terribly Mana,ed.

Cured at midnight Thursday in a
thlckly settled neighborhood. Peter
Bales, the brakeman on the freight
train which passes at midnight, was
IN some manner thrown from the train
and his lower limbs were horribly
mangled. He was evidently carried
some distance and thrown off about
two blocks below the depot, both legs
being cut completely off, and one was
carried some distance above the depot,
a distance of four blocks from where
the victim was tossed. The train pro-
ceeded to Tangipohoa, distance of
ten miles, where the crew first missed
him: then q search was made. the
train backing up to the place where
he lay still conscious. DR.. Stewart,
the railroad surgeon, was taken along
and administered to the injured man
until the train could reach McComb,
where his mother, father and brother
reside, but death came as a release
to his long suffering at Magnolis,
seven miles below his home. The
young victim was about 80 years Of
age and unmarried. He was a man of
excellent reputation and very popular
among his fellow workmen and
friends.

lage the missionary, passing through,
had left few pages Of the gospel in
the Indian tongue. Our Indian read
and rejoiced. Measuring the mission

niflcent moccasins, and travelled 200
miles to give them to the missionary
as an expression Of his gratitude.
Thus the missionary was enriched by
the present, but the Indian was en-

daily life.
Train yourself to be grateful for the
common blessings. There had been a
great cotton famine in Lancashire,
England. For lack of material to
work upon, the mills had been idle
for months, and there was great dis
