Prominent Garyviile Dentist
Assaulted and Shot Monday

When Dr. F. A. Keller. the leading den
tist of Garyville, who was returning from
the successful completion of the Picayune
New Orleans, to Memphis automobile
tour, stepped from the fast morning train.
on Monday last. he was attacked by Mes
srs. Price and Sidney S. Bourgeois. prom
iuent merchants and erstwhile friends.
The Doctor. it is said, was unarmed snd
was ignorant of the cause of the trouble.
The encounter at the station was stopped
before anybody was seriously hurt and
DIR. Keller proceeded to the Gary State
Bank building, where his dental office is
located. Here he was followed few
minutes later by the Bourgeois brothers
who called upon him to come outside and
fight. Dr. Keller, still protesting that he
did not know why he was assaulted. re
manned in the building. The door of the
bank was left ajar and through the in
tervening space DIR. Keller was shot, both
of the Bourgeois brothers. it is said,
doing the shooting. Five or six shots
we're fred one of which struck the Doc
tor in the abdomen. Two bullets were

counter. Several eye witnesses claim
that Price Bourgeois fired the shot
which took effect, seriously wounding
the popular dentist. The Bourgeois
brothers refuse to discuss the matter,
but it is rumored that Sidney claims
having fred all of the shots.
After the shooting, Doctor Keller was
placed on stretcher and conveyed to
the Hotel Dieu, being accompanied by
Doctor Fcucht. A delicate operation
was performed when it was ascertained
that the bullet had perforated the iutes
times and that the chances for recovery
wee slim.
The Bourgeois brothers surrendered
to the authorities, awaiting the result of
the injuries. both being now charged
with shooting with intent to kill. The
latest news received from New Orleans
are to the effect that Doctor Keller is
doing as well as could be expected and
that he now has good chances to recover.
Rumors OF contradictory nature are
rife as to the cause of the trouble. We
are not prone to the highly colored or
sensational. hence will not indulge IN
indeIicate illusions enanating very oft
EN- from vivid and prolific imaginations.
Suffi r it to say thai the whole affair Is
regretfable in the extreme.

Mr.. Michel and Some Others.

Conservative Democrats throughout
the State. men whose Judgment is not
warped by intense partisanship, must
view with approval the course pursued
by Mr.. John I. Michel in conducting
his campaign for the Governorship.
Mr.. Michel has manifested commen-
dable desire to steer clear of the muck
rakers. While his oppone- is have been,
figuratively speaking, at each other s
throats, he has been moving quietly
among the country voters urging his
claims to the executive Office, and contri-
buting nothing to the @mud- Singing
which is just now the most conspicuous
feature of the campaigns of Judge Hall
and Prof. Aswell.
A comparison of the policies adopted
by Mr.. Michel with those pursued by
his opponents. is immeasurably to the
advantage of the Orleans candidate. At
the outset of his canvass. Mr.. Michel de-
clared he would seek the Governorship
on his merits, his platform and his re-
cord, and not on the dehnquencies of his
political antagonists. So far, he has kept
his word.
Judge Hall and Prof. Aswell have
been making thewalkin fairly ring with
charges against each other. At this writ
ing, the controversy between these two
gentlemen had not reached the augly
word stage, but it was shaving it very
closely. Each is trying to demonstrate
the others unfitness for the high office
he is seeking. And, before the campaign
is over, we believe the people will be in
chned to believe them both.
Mr.. Michel has made no sensational
charges. has taken no part in the discus
sions growing out of the AsweH Hall
row, has done nothing, ID fact to change
the public estimate of his reputation for
clean politics.
We violate no confidence when we say
Mr.. Michel intends TO steer clear. as long
as his opponents will permit him to do
so, of personal politics in the present
State canvass He would be less than
human if he failed to resent vigorously
any aspersions of his character or vicious
attacks on bis public career. But we be-
lieve he intends to avoid as far as possi-
BILE. on the stump and off of it, personal
tiles which. after all, do not concern the
people but only those whom they di-
rectly affect.
This is the kind of man the people OF
Louisiana want for their Governor. man
who stands on his record aud his char
acter. both of which are without blem-
ish. Mr.. Michel is exhibiting qualities
which explain his wide personal popu-
larity and show why It is that the bnsi-
ness interests of New Orleaus and other
sections of the State have lined up al.
most solidly behind his candidacy.
He is man in whom the people of
Louisiana have confidence, whom they
espect, whose public record and private
career make him desirable public SER

SEEDLINGS ARE A NECESSITY
Apple Tree Ono Foot High May Be
Grown During Summer n Given
Proper Cultivation.

Apple seedlings are still necessity
and will continue to be. They must
be grown by the million for the nurs-
eryman. or the amateurs may grow
them by the thousand.
Save seed by packing cores away
In moist sand. and It is better to save
seed from good apples than from culls
Prepare ground by deep blowing: new.
rich land Is the best. Sow In drills
rows ten inches apart and cover not
over two inches. Rake over surface
early in spring to break crust and kill
weeds Under this treatment the seed
will sprout readily II you give good
culture you may expect the seedlings
to be one foot or eighteen inches high
by October /. but cultivation. should
stop August Is. Take up and cellar
before hard freezing.

POULTRY NOTES.

Provide shade for all the poultu
during the hot days.
The fowls should have water In
abundance at all times.
Exercise is al essential for growing
chicks as feed and water.
The lack OF protein is the direct
cause OF mature pullets not laying
Asserting market eggs according TO
size and color is a good business
move
Little turks are delicate little crea'
lures and should be watched at all
times.
II protein is supplied freely there
will be an abundance OF eggs from
the same flock.
Use n good lice paint on the roas"
in the morning. and repeat every two
or three weeks
Sunshine is very necessary for sue
cess with poultry when supplied 10
the right places.
Grit is essential at all seasons OF
the year Oyster shells should al
ways be available.
incubator chickens even unuer ,p0
best OF care have a hard time OF III
without care they perish.
In the production OF eggs ns In tna'
OF milk. proper feeding is essential 10
attaining the best results.
No matter what kind OF floor thelc
is in the poultry house. the man
thing is not let II get damp.
Do not give sweet milk one time
and sour the next as this changins
from one to the other will cause
bowel trouble.
Don't let the little chicks run In inc
wet grass. This causes many in'
which make great inroads on tho
number OF chicks.
Hen nests should be cleaned anu
whitewashed after each hatch before
starting another, and the old nestns
materials should be burned. Fign'
lice now and all the time.
A house eight by twelve Is yer,
convenient size for a small hock u

Mules. much abused and neglected
animals, are not generally understood
by farmers. A mule In the first place
must be OF good stock, not an Off
spring Of some scrubby mare. but a
mare with good breeding qualities.
writes Ed Mclaughlin in the Rural
New Yorker. A mule of the NAM
moth stock is supposed to be the best
mule under all conditions. Mules are
cheaper than colts. for the service fee
is not generally as high. Many peo-
pie make a mistake in working the
mare too soon after foaling. Never
work mare under ten days, then she
can do light work, but the mule must
be left in the barn.
When the mare Is brought in from
work never allow the mule to suck as
long as the mare is warm. After a
mule is two or three weeks old turn
1t out In a lot away from the mare
especially at night, for a mule is very
hard on a mare. much more than colts
When the mule is about two months
old he may be allowed to eat a few
Piub III lu6 beginning.
Increase as he grows older. or the
same amount of bran along with a lit.
tie hay. alfalfa is preferred At the
age OF nine months a mule should he
weaned, not gradually. but all at once
Take 1t away from the mare and
never let 1t suck afterwards. He
should be put by himself or tied I'D
At this time you can give an ear of
corn at a meal and a small amount of
hay. The mule should be turned out
In fair weather and not left to stand
In the stable
A mule should be made before he
Is year old. This can be done by
good breeding and the proper care.
1t is not necessary to give a great
quantity OF food to him during the
winter. but it must be of the kind to
keep him growing. such as alfalfa

corn and chopped food occasionally.
Oats are very good, but very expen'
sive food. In spring he may be turned
out on pasture during the day and
fed some hay at night and morning,
because grass at this time is very
washy. AS the grass gets older leave
on pasture, but be sure to have plenty
of shade and water. A mule should
not be broken until he is three years
old. although many are broken before
they are near that age.
With the proper handling he will be
found to be easier TO manage than
horse colts. | always work them be-
side a good steady horse. Do not
work mules together until thoroughly
broken. or you may have some trou.

to do more and better work than a
horse colt at the same age. that Is you
can work him harder When at this
time you may say that a mule Is
easier raised and at less cost than
horse colts, in that they do not require
as much care and less food TO keep
them In good condition. Mule colts
will bring more money than an aver.
age horse colt. even though he may
be blemished in some way. He will
sell when blemished horse colt
would not sell.
