1t remained for Chat Brown, the
Lyons recruit, to get his control in
hand and break the Topeka losing
streak. They hit him often but not
in punches and with ten bingles got
only two runs. He is credited with
showing the Hopefuls some new stuff
in the slabmen's repertory.

No Need To Stnn Work

year there is a surplus stock left
in the mill which is sold out at
one time to one house at a spe-
cial price.
Gimbel Brothers explained
this in detail in their advertise
ments, and this action on their
part was so unusual that it not
only brought them IMMEDI-
ATE AND GRATIFYING RE-
SPONSE FROM THE PUBLIC,
but a letter from the manufac-
turer, as follows:
want to thank you for the CLEAN,
FAIR AND SATISFACTORY WAY
that you have placed the matter be-
fore the public. Ordinarily, the car
pet department, disposing of dropped
stock for some reason or other, hesi-
tates to come out with fair state
ment, such as you have done, and 1
really believe that the way you have
handled the matter will not only pre-
vent friction and misunderstanding be-
tween yourselves an other dealers,
but will also increase your sales, for
THE PEOPLE KNOW EXACTLY
THE REASONS the goods are being
sold at reduced prices
To this letter Gimbel Broth
erS replied as follows:
In advertising merchandise Of Amer
lean manufacturers that we know
are SEEKING TO ELEVATE THE
STANDARD OF goods (and we know
the efforts of a lifetime you have
been making in this direction) we
try to make our statements CLEAR
AND PLAIN, disdaining chicanery;
and this was the spirit that prompted
us in advertising your goods recently.
Now, isn't this a simple, di-
rect, plain, matter-of-fact way to
put a business announcement be-
fore the public ? And the oftener
it is done, the greater will be the
CONFIDENCE of the people in
the stores that do it.
It is the ONLY BASIS on
which all advertising should be
constructed.

The Kaws did their first hitting in

quite safely thereafter.

The ability of Topeka to take one
from the Hopefuls just about indicates
that Des Moines never will be able to
catch up in the race for seventh place.
The Kaws will take some more at
home and-but there's some class to
racing for seventh.

PARC PERDUE NOTES.

Jupiter Pluvius relinquished
his grip on the whip handle and
opened his floodgates on us with
vengeance and judging from the
manner in which he is dealing out
his goods to us, he does not seem
willing to desist. If old Jupe does
not condescend to let up for
awhile, We will soon be able to go
to New Iberia by boat.
No field work was done here for
some time on account OF the soggy
condition of the fields.
Charlton has again made its ap-
pearance in our section, many far
mers losing valuable horses, mules
and COWS. 1t is reported, that Mr..
Aristide Stouts has already lost
two valuable mules and four or
five cows.

IN MEMORIAM.

The best and noblest thoughts OF
our mind are generally turned
avav from the most momentous
questions of our existence-the
crisis, you may say. OF our life
Death.
Nothing of our faculties,
that is of any service to the COM
munity and has been the malnstay
of our being, our ego, is and wilt
be devoted ito a partial solution OF
that weighty problem that marks
an end a change, a transformation
which the mystery Of Eternity only
can answer.
Death is an existing living fact
| in the ever moving stream OF hui
mainly. 1T is a fixture OF the
Universe. an unerring, undecsav-
ing. natural response to the laws
of Nature, to the edict OF the Gre
atOr.
Acting without time and the
svmetry of calculated arrange
ments; with cApricious riot OF
movements, death deals its blow
with its canny uncertainty. on the
hope and faith Of human con-
sciences and thereby makes the
deed the hated, the ! feared
scourge of the human race.
With the suddenness of tighten
ing and a true aim Of its fatal
fingers, it snatched our Brother
Sam Carter, from its sphere of ac-
jtivitN and changed the smiles
and cheers Of his family and sur.
rounding into cries and tears OF
his societies.
The sting is for the heart, the
glory of faith for the soul. The
one withers, the other grows into
the work of divine art Of the ce'
lestial gallery.
A good faithful husband, al
honored, respected, kind father
/ is a crown Of life festooning ths
brow of Immortality and the high
est. mos4 cherished and priceless
reward of the great Father OF the
Universe.

Mr. Henry Guidry, agent OF

Mr.. Henry Guidry, agent or
the Equitable Life Insurance So
cietv was a pleasant caller In our
sanctum last Thursday exhibiting
TO rs a check for $3,03o.34, IN
favor of Mr.. Gilbert Derouen on
the death of his wife, who died
on July LIST. This couple had a
Joint Life Policy issued to them
only about nineteen months ago,
having paid in premiums the small
sum of 500, realizing the above
amount on the policy. Mr.. Gul,
dry informs us that the proof OF
death was only sent IN to the
Company on the 18th instant and
within three days thereafter the
check for $3,03S.34 was forward
Ell to him. The conditions by
which one can secure an lnsur-
ance policy is so easy and the ben
efts so great, it is hard to con-
ceive how any person able to save
a few dollars weekly should neg
lect this important duty to their
family. Thousands of dollars have
been paid to widows and orphans,
thus lifting off in many instances
heavy mortgages right here in our
midst by a little sacrifice on the
part of those seeking protection.

The City Fathers were called
in special meeting last Monday
evening to act on several matters
among them being the receiving OF
a petition from the Iberia, st.
Mary and Eastern Railroad, ask
inc. for permission to use several
streets in the lower part OF New
Iberia to connect with the New
Iberia & Northern on Madison
street, which privilege has already
been granted that Corporation,
On motion the franchise was or
dered published for thirty days.
The plans Of the new Fire Station
of Iberia No. was received with
several alterations, the first
plans being too elaborate for the
finances Of the City. Work on
this important building will COM
mence as soon as the contract is
signed by those in authority. Mr..
Edwin Broussard, on behalf OF q
citizen residing on Madison
street. appeared before the meet
ing protesting against the New
/ Iberia & Northern Railroad laying
their tracts on the side of the
street instead Of the center, his
contention being that were the
tract laid as now contemplated
the property holders would suffer
thereby. The Council referred
the matter to the Street and

this JACK The RIPPER
HAS THIRTEEN ON LIST
Reign Of Terror Among the
Atlanta Negroes

Atlanta, Nov. 27.-Although two ar
rests already have been made in the
Jack the Ripper cases, and official ef-
. Ort has been made to discredit the
Ripper theory the impression is grow
in in Atlanta that degenerate, who
has the murder mania, is abroad in
he city.
The he.ro woman who was found
dead on Nov. 20, was the thirteenth in
the last few months. There have been
many marks of similarity in the
cases, and not a single arrest in any
of the cases up to date has been ac-
compan'c1 by any definite evidence.
In nearly every case the women
slain have been above the average
in appearance, and most of them bet
ter educated than ordinary.
A new feature was injected in the
twelfth case when a part Of one fin
ger of the victim was cut off. In the
case the murderer went
step further, and cut out the heart,
then left on the ground.
