with bags of grosgrain silk, are attrac-

A WINTER
NOVELTY,

Among the winter novelties which
many persons will find useful and
which may also be numbered among
the really practical home made Christ
mas gifts are the mufflers of white
and black quilted satin edged with
swansdoWn. The mufflers are fiat,
made In the same shape as the Gro
cheted ones, except that they do not
clasp at the throat. Instead the
swansdown edge comes up close around
the throat, and may show above the
collar of velvet, fur or cloth, max
ing very pretty and becoming addi-
ton to the costume. These .naufflers
may also be made Of brocaded silks
and satins of as beautiful quality and
irch coloring as one likes, but the
white or black ones or those which
match a particular costume are the
most useful for constant wear.

Chautauqua Closes

Last Thursday evening Lamars
first Chautauqua closed with a
grand closing concert given by the
Royal Italian Guards band. This
band was without a doubt the fin
est attraction offered during the
Chautauqua and their music was
fully appreciated by the great
crowds present at both afternoon
and evening entertainments. Dur
ing the evening concert hard rain
storm came up which lasted until
nearly tSehe o'clock Tut the band
rose to the. occasion and played
until it was time for their train.
Their entertainment will be long

After probably the longest wait
in its history the rains of the past
weeks started a flow of water in
Two Buttes creek and now the big
reservoir has about seventeen feet
of available water in 1t. There has
been general rejoicing and celebra-

result as the people feel that many
of their trials are now over. The

The Chautauqua was on the
whole a grand success. The one
bad feature being that some fifty
or sixty of our local business men
had to dig down into their pockets
and pay the Chautauqua company a
sum of $3.50 on account of the de
ficiency in raising the qguarantee
of $500 which had to b. assured

local men are not at all discourag-
ed and since four hundred and
thirty-seven were subscribed at the
tent last Thursday II Is practically
certain that Lamar will have n
big Chantauqua next year. for II
ought not to take much work to
dispose of the remaining one humid
red and sixty tickets.
The local committee has al
ready made arrangements with the
Western Redpath Chautauqua Sys-
TEN for a bigger and better Chau-
tauqua next summer. but unless the

This afternoon a young man by
the name of George Ely committed
suicide by drinking four ounces of
chloroform. Ely was a deaf mute
and came to Lamar from Madison.
Ind. Dependency as result of
not being able to find work is the
cause given by theauthorities for
the suicide. The chloroform was
secured under false pretenses as
Ely claimed he was getting it for
the purpose of making a clothes

mans parents are both dead and
so far no living relatives have
been found.

Seven Straight

The game Sunday afternoon ut
the fair grounds between the Lamar
and the Syracuse baseball clubs
was the most closely contested and
the most exciting game that has
been played in Lamar this season.
The locals had an oil day in the

against them in the box score. but
the boys were there with the stick
whenever hit was needed. The
Syracuse boys We're also of in the
held, especially Allison, who made
live errors at short, but he made
up for this by driving out three
clean singles and long three-bae-
ger out OF five times up. His bat
ting was the feature OF the game.
Bill Cutler was in the box for
Lamar and pitched a beautiful
game. He had his famous spit ball
working right and allowed the
visitors only eight hits and kept
these well scattered. He retired
twelve men on strikes and allowed
but one base on balls. Only two oil
the visitors runs were earned. the
rest being due to errors at crit
ioal times by the locals.
Suddith. formerly with the Lar
ned team in the Kansas State lea
que. was in the box for Syracuse
but he did not have anything on
the locals as they touched him up
Tor nine clean hits and they were
not scattered as the local team
made five earned runs. BY agree
ment the game was called at the
end OF the eighth inning in order
Syracuse to catch the stub home.
Lamar did not win the game until
the eighth. Goat Caulk singled
and went 10 second on Wallace's
out and scored the winning run
on Sharkey's single through second.
The largest crowd that has at
tended q game 80 far this season
was present and II 1t Is only pos
sible to have such crowds every
Sunday Lamar could get the La
Junta, Rocky Ford and other ball
teams to come here. But the ex-

THE EXPOSITION
Has Taft Contributed His Influence to
San Francisco

From the tone of the New Orleans
press it would seem that, as forecasted
the vote in the House of Representatives
of the United States is close as to a
choice between New Orleans and San
francisco.
The situation is critical, and each of
the competitors is trying by all means to
secure the recognition desired.
In special to the States from Wash
ington Robert Ewing says There is
strong suspicion that President Taft has
at last been prevailed upon by San Fran
cisco to use his tremendous influence in
certain directions in their behalf. This
is now being looked into and if found
correct Southerns in the Senate will see
that San Franciso wins barren victory
in the House, for their resentment at
presidential interference in a non-politi-
cal matter will result in no bill going
through the Senate at this session"
If this be true, and it may not be, it
will be somewhat an experience to that
of the General Assembly of Louisiana,
being controlled by the Governor of the
State to do his bidding, but it is only
fair to presume that the President of
the United States would not discredit
his exalted position by logging" for
San Francisco against New Orleans.
Possibly this surmise is the reflex of a
serious doubt as to New Orleans having
the direct advantage over San Fran
cicso.

SOME INDICTMENTS
Expected by Register Grace for Viola
ton of the Smith Bill

The Picayune's Baton Rouge special
says: Register Grace believes that some
indictments are going to be made by the
Caddo grand jury under the Smith act
of those persons who are allowing the
willfu1 waste of gas in the Caddo fields
Under the last regular session of the
General Assembly an act was introduced
by Representative Smith af Caddo max
ing it unlawful to permit the waste of
gas. While he was in Shreveport at
tending the session of the State Conser-
vation Commission, which will give
much of its attention to the wild gas
wells, Mr.. Grace appeared before the
grand jury, with the district attorney,
and read the Smith act, which makes it
unlawful to allow the waste of gas.
The subject of the wild gas wells
will receive the attention of the Con-
servation Commission" said Mr.. Grace,
and we hope to aid in the early closing
of these wells"

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
Monroe Profting from It's Public Utili-
ties-Why Not Shreveport?

1t is neither singular nor strange that
any corporation which has a contract
with a municipality should resist the
municipal ownership of public utilities
The very opposition of such corporation
to the municipality owning its public
utilities should be sufficient without any
waste of words or space to prove that
such corporations are moved not for the
public good but by self-interest.
1t may be true that some municipal
ties have not been as successful in their
operation of public utilities as was an
ticipated, but this should not be made
to nor be permitted to apply to Shreve
port.
AS broad proposition we hold that
if Shreveport can own its light plant
and its water plant and operate these at
no greater cost than is now required by
the corporations which supply the light
and water, that it would prove to be a
splendid investment for the municipality
to own its own plant for light and for
water The self-interest of the corpora
ton in their specious pretensions that it
would be more profitable and desirable
for them to operate these utilities for
the municipality is ridiculous.
1t is on the order of the pretense that
it is more profitable for a man to pay
rent than to own his own home, when
he must meet the annual tax, the cost of
repairs, the wear and tear and deprecia-
ton and what not Yet the man who
owns his home knows from experience
that his investment has strengthened
him in his good citizenship; that he has
something substantial which is his own,
and the money he would ever1astingly
pay i'll rent he can save to meet the wear
and tear and the what-nots, all of which
as the municipality owning its own utili-
ties, is disproof of the self-interest of
the landlord who would have renters
instead of owners of homes.
1t is about time Shreveport were be-
ing awakened to the serious considera-
ton of its utilities.
For instance, Monroe has and is real
izing the fullest profits and satisfaction
in the ownership of its electric light and
waterworks plant, in its electric car lines
with modern Improvements and conven-
fences If Monroe has done all this and
lis doing more, why shSuld not Shreve-
port do as much?

NOT INDICTED
Grand Jury Has Ignored the Charge
Against William Lowe.

The Grand Jury has ignored the
charge of mans1aughter against William
Lowe, pending against him, arising from
the horrible accident at the crossing of
the Kansas City Southern in West
! Shreveport during the progress of the
State Fair, wheE Roby Virgil, boy,
was killed and one of his kinsmen sus-
tanned injuries which eliminated in his
loss of a leg.
1t appears that the evidence before
the Grand Jury relieved Lowe of blame !;
nor is the railroad held amenable, at
least such in substance is the informa-
ton of the Caucasian, which may not
be strictly reliable.
At any rate there was no true bill re-
ported, and yet boy, an innocent vic
tim of some ones recklessness or care
leSsness lost his life and his kinsman is
minus leg while another of the family
suffered great injuries from which she
recovered.
IiOW lIluSll ID d IlIlllldIl HE "Ol I'll! 1S
the life of human being worth as much
as a hog or a sheep
And what has been done at this cross
ing and at other crossings of railways
i'll the corporate limits to protect and
safeguard from such accident?
Is there no law to compel the rail-
roads to have better safeguards than
hagmen?
Why not provide gates which would
close when trains are about to cross the
tracks at street crossings?
Are such gates costly, at least too
costly as safeguards against the sacrifice
of human life?
It is about time the city authorities
were getting busy with the railway
street crossings which are more or less
dangerous night and day.
