Nine. Kuma, the little Japanese lady
at the Orpheum this week, does one
trick which has been the puzzle for
many years Of travellers to japan.
This consists in walking, barefooted.
up ladder of swords. edges upward.
with not so much as a scratch to
show for It. AS long ago as when
Commander Perry made his historic
expedition to Japan, this feat arrested
the attention of certain of his off,
GERS, one of whom made record of
the fact in his printed account Of the
voyage. Tonight at $3.50, the evening

Mark Twaln--sineer.

Mark Twain could be persuaded
to sing now and then if one approach
ed him in the right mood writes Max
Smith in The Press. cit was not bel
canto, his mode Of vocal utterance;
neither did his style resemble that OF
DR.. Wulner. 1t was just Mark
Twain's. as Enthusiastically his own as
his writing and his talking, and quite
as entertaining. At one time Killaloo
was his favorite song, and how he
sang that Irish ballad for Mrs. Charles
Dudley Warmers musical friends, with
inimitable drawI and nasal twang
slow movements OF his head from side
to side, and curiously droll gestures
will not be forgotten soon by those
who heard and saw the performance.

That the junior class of the high
school made no mistake in choosing
Peter Elliott, jrp as the man to act
as POSTMASTER, at the junior-senior
banquet is generally believed.
Mr.. Elliott is one of no mean abili-
ty at this sort of thing, and there is
no doubt but that he will create an
enjoyable time at the dinner June Q
This is his first year at the high school
but he has proven a valuable man
already. He was a regular on the
football squad, and is a general ia
vorite among the students.

KIRNSE I5
 WELL PLEASED

While debating the tourist business Of the past two months, II. D. Kirmse who is probably in a better position to judge than any of the business men of Skagway, expressed his views of the matter in the presence of a representative of the Daily Alaskan as 5ollows:-
 Tt is largely up to the merchant whether he will have a good season or not The past season with me has been one of the best l ever had, and I attribute it to the fact that have had the goods, for all tourists must be from Missouri and they must be shown. so ] have been able to show them.
 "I have made a stndy of the tourist trade, and in my selection of goods for this summers business. I used the utmost care and thought Not alone in the nugget jewelry line, but in the other lines of curios which l have had on display have lost sight of the fact that what the visitors wanted was something typical Of Al sska and the Northland, and some thing different" That l was right when I made my stock of nugget jew elry and souvenir goods is evidenced each time a party of 'oheechacos' en- ter my store. All are loud in their praise and express their surprise at such a store and stock being in Skag- way
 aYes. this is one ot the most sue eessful seasons I have ever had, and I attribute it all to the appropriate ness of my stock"

THE TsrUMPH OF CRAFT

 It is an ugly record The courts have allowed shrewd lawyers to play hide and seek with the law. Men have committed suicide out of sheer shame. Some Of them are fugidves from justice. Witnesses have been speeded away Efforts have been made Co assassiuate Heney because og his fight against wholesale and or gauized corruption
 
 And after au these things have saamed California Che state must be further sbamsd by the confession that is not able to convict men known to be guilty because evil spir. its iu san Francisco have spirited away the witness upon whom the state depended for conviction After all perhaps it is 1t ending for a chapter which reeks with so much hat is criminal and upelean, It is a great triumph for graft and gratters.

Special Tax for Schools Carries Again.
The splendid interest taken in
school affairs in Grant parish is
shown by the almost, unanimous
vote by which the people in sew
eral of our school districts have
lately revoted the levy of anoth-
er five mill tax for five years in
aid of public schools. In district
IL the tax was carried without a
single dissenting vote. In dis
tricts 20-22-23, consolidated for
the purpose, the election was car
ried by % to 2 votes, the proper
ty valuation being $12,3 1854 to
$612. In this election the peo-
pie also had a practical demon
stration of economy as one among
the many benefits to be gained
in the consolidation of the school
districts.

Two Notable National Anniversaries.
Two notable national anniver-
saries fall in July, the 4th and
the 18th. The American ami
versary on the 4th is celebrated
with no greater vigor than is the
18th by loyal Frenchmen, who
celebrate the fall of the Bastile
on that day. This notorious pris-
on was an inheritance from the
Dark Ages, and stood for four
centuries in Paris as the outward
sign of tyranny and extortion of
reckless and profigate princes,
who drew upon the poor peasant
ny for the means of dissipation.
In 1889 the Infatuated populace
stormed the prison, massacreing
its garrison and leveling its walls
to the ground. This changed the
whole course of events in France,
and after the French revolution
led to final betterment of the con-
dition of the people.

Prof. E. L. Stephens, president
of the Southwestern Industrial
Institute at Lafayette, La,
thinks that the fact of Prof. Roy
having taught at the Southern
University should be no bar to
his receiving position of honor
in the white schools. Prof.
Stephens himself employed Mr..
Roy in 1901 as the first member
of the Industrial Institute facul-
ty, where he gave eminent salts
faction, and his former employ
ment six years previous was con-
sidered no bar to his recognition
in the best of society.

Wreck ON the Valley Railroad.


The passenger train of the La.
Railway & Navigation Company
was wrecked at BIT p. m. Sun.
day, July 16, at Edenborn station,
So miles out from New Orleans,
all of the train except the Pull:
man sleeper and the chair car be-
ing ditched.
DR.. E. H. Blackwood, of Col
fax, who was in the sleeper, says
the Pullman and chair car jump
ed the track, and that all the
balance of the train went into
the ditch. Those in the negro
coach and baggage car got a
rough shaking up, but most re-
markable to say, no one was
seriously hurt.
The train service was delayed
and thrown behind about 8 hours,
being due at Colfax at A a. m.
Monday, and not reaching this
point until p. m. that day.

The Platforms of the Candidates.

The Platforms OF the Candidates.
The Chronicle has published
the platform adopted by the Good
Government League. upon which
Judge Hall is running, and also
the platforms, of Hon. John T.
Michel and of Mr.. ]. B. Aswell.
So our readers now have the
platforms of all the candidates
before them, and they will OBJ
serve that they are all excellent,
so far as platforms go. The
platforms of Judge Hall and Mr..
Michel will be found to agree
with fully a score of the particu-
lars enunciated in Mr.. Aswell's
platform, and there is really very
little difference in them. So vot-
ers will have to look to the per-
sonel of the candidates, and the
interests they represent, in maxi
ing up their choice as to the man
they will support.
In choosing between these
three men it is well for every
Democrat to remember that one
of the three is to be the Demo-
cratic nominee. Every Demo-
crat voting in the primary will
then in duty be bound to cast his
vote for one of these three men.
In discussing their merits, we
should therefore avoid all harsh
and extreme criticism that would
reflect upon our own integrity
should the time come when we
have to vote for the man we may
deem it best to oppose. All are
honorable, worthy gentlemen,
and in the contention for our own
special favorite this fact is not
to be forgotten.

Our Old Sleeping Land Claims.

We publish this week a letter
from Hon. Chas. P. Johnston, of
New Orleans, former Receiver of
the U. S. Land Office, who is now
a candidate for Registrar of the
State Land Office. Mr.. Johnston
was appointed Receiver by Pres
ident Cleveland, but was put out
by a Republican President, a ne
gro being appointed in his place.
He is well fitted for the Office,
and enjoys the good will and es-
TEEN of hundreds of citizens
throughout the State, who re-
member his promptness and help
fulness in their dealings with him.
His cadidacy seems to be meet
ing with the favor of the people
of this parish very largely, judg-
ing from the many high compli-
ments that have been paid to him
by the people in our hill country,
who have perfected homestead
entries and made filings on the
public domain while Mr.. Johnston
was in charge of the Office. The
kind manner in which he handled
the claims of settlers, and the
many favors shown them, has
built up such confidence in his in
tegrity and ability as a public Of
fetal as will assure him of a
heavy vote in this section of the
country. His proposition to re-
viye and secure title for the State
to many thousands of acres of
unsurveyed lands with which he
is familiar is very important.

Another Fiaseo and Boomerang.


Political fiascos and boomer
angs are following each other in
quick succession in the State
campaign since its opening at
Ruston. The latest is furnished
by Agricole Poche, game ward
en- of st. James parish. who
wrote an insulting letter to Gov.
Sanders, alleging that somebody
in some way had threatened to
remove him from Office if he did
not line up at once and support
the administration candidates.
All of which he refused to do in
grandiloquent terms. Then in
less than "a hours Mr.. Poche
acknowledged that he was induc-
ed to tell an outrageous lie, and
he came into the Governors of
fee and acknowledged in the
presence of witnesses that he had
lied, and humbly begged pardon
for his mendacity, and the fool
ish.act he had been wheedled in
to committing.

They are Entitled to . Hearing.

Just at this time we are de-
cidedly of the opinion that the
settlement of the Backbone
controversy as to the right of Set.
tiers to their homesteads or
lands claimed by the Gould heirs,
is of prime Importance to the
people of Grant parish, and in
deed of all Central Louisiana,
and we have no apology to offer
for giving the Settlers side of
the case prominence in the co.,
umns of the Chronicle.

Controversy Over Right of Way
Settled.

On Thursday j. w. Duncan,
president of the police jury, ac-
companied by Mr.. M. E. Swat
ford went out over the model
road building from Colfax to Ro-
chelle, and made a compromise
and settlement with all parties
over the right of way. The par
ties settled with were Tom Flu
trell, M. R. and R. A. Banks,
Ebert Sinquefeld and a Mr.. Lof-
fish. In two or three instances
they paid for crops destroyed,
besides for the land and the re-
moval of fences.
About six miles of the road has
been thrown up and completed,
and would be in excellent condi-
ton were it not for the late con-
tinuous rains, which have not
only impeded the work but pre-
vented the settling and solifying
of the road bed.
In this connection we learn that
arrangements have about been
completed for the necessary grav-
cling of three-quarters of a mile
of the road leading out of Colfax
1t is proposed to do
this work during the month of
August.

Mill Owners Will Fight Brotherhood.

New Orleans, La, July ia de-
termined effort to break up the re-
Gently organized National Brother
hood of Timber Workers was decided
upon here to day at meeting OF
lumber operators from East Texas,
Louisiana and Southern Mississippi.
The first guns of the mill owners will
be fired Monday of next week, when
ten large mills in Calcasieu, and Yer
non parishes, Louisiana, represent
ing daily output of IA million and a
hall feet of lumber, will be closed for
an indefinite period. Already five
large millsi in these two parishes have
been closed down. and after Monday
total of several thousand mill en-
pIoyes in CaIcasieu and Vernon will
be idle.
A sOCIALlsTIC MOVEMENT.
While disavowing any intention to
discriminate against a legitimate or
ganization of their employees. the
mill men are determined to stamp
out what they regard as socialist
movement in the National Brother
hood of Timber Workers. This or
ganization is said to be less than a
year old, with headquarters in Beau
mont Texas. 1t is asserted by some
OF the lumbermen at to-day's meet
ing that the organization has not
the slightest utilization with the
American Fedora tion of Labor, or
with any other union of timber OF
lumber operatives.
FORMAL ORGANIZATION PERFECTED.
The meeting to-day was the third
held by the mill men within the past
eight months to consider what steps
to take in dealing with the timber
workers organization. A formal or
ganization, to be known as the Sou
tbern Lumber Operators Associa-
ton, was effected.
To-day's meeting was exhaustive
and statement OF the proceedings
was not furnished to the press. John
ID. Kirby, president of the Kirby
Lumber Company, Of Houston. Tex
as, presided. and George K. Smith,
secretary of the Southern Yellow
Pine Manufactured Association,
was secretary OF the meeting.
1t was sta ted that the Brotherhood
is now confined to few mills in East
Texas. several parishes in Southern
and a small number of
mills in Southern Mississippi.

Altogether Unfounded and Gratuitous.
Under the caption, "Of Course
He Will Accept, F" Editor Aldrich.
of the Shreveport Scribe, pub
fishes the account the Chronicle
gave of this editors solicitation
to Hon. N. C. Blanchard to rep
resent the settlers on the Back
bone Land Grant in their contro-
versy with the railroad. and his
reply that he would accept this
designated trust, and it adds this
wholly unfounded and gratuitous
fling at the honorable gentleman:
THE fact is obvious that Mr..
Blanchard, while not losing any
sleep over any Office by election,
is very wide-a-wake to the value
of those of the appointive class
and he's not going to lose any
time going after a good thing. >"
The insinuation that Mr..
Blanchard went after this ap-
pointment is without foundation.
The editor of the Chronicle is the
instigator of the proposition, and
prodded the honorable gentleman
into his first utterance on this
subject, and then we asked him
point blank if he could not and
would not represent the settlers.
1t appealed to him as good
thing" if you will have it so,
and he agreed to accept the APP
pointment if made. That is all
there is to it. The Scribe should
add whatever weight it has to-
ward securing this appointment
for Mr., Blanchard, and thus help
a large number of deserving Lou
isiana citizens to secure title to
the homes they earned many
years ago.
A communication will be found
elsewhere in our columns to-day
under the caption, 'How Do the
Candidates Stand?" signed "Clod
Hopper, to which the attention
of our readers and the Scribe is
directed. The writer is by no
means as uncouth and seedy as
his signature might lead one to
believe, and knows a great deal
about this important subjetc.
See his statement about the lat
Louisianahome hung up in theU U.
S. District Court. and as many more
that should be there, and then
tell us if about 800 homes spread
over a dozen parishes are not of
sufficient Importance to receive a
helping hand and kind considera-
ton from every good citizen.
