Same Old Chieaao.

New Orleans Picayune: A citizen
of Roseland, ILL.,, was walking in
Michigan avenue at daylight some
days ago when stranger accosted
him with: Say. what do they mean
by having another rider on that
horse at the Logan monument?" The
surprised citizen expressed doubt
They walked over to the statue and
there, sure enough, they saw an
other figure perched on the bronze
hcrse behind the figure of General
Logan. The Roseland man walked up
TO make more detailed investigation
As he did so the figure jumped from
the horse and landed on top of him.
Both men oyerpowered him and
took $3.50 and his watch. They tied
the Roselander with his suspenders
tc the tail of the bronze horse and
escaped. This beats all previous
ways of robbing a man, but it shows
that Chicago is versatile and can not
only held her own, but the other fell
lows as we'll. After all, its difficult
TO match Chicago.

HANGS HERSELF
PatoutviIle Girl Is Driven to Suicide
by Intense Heat.

Jeanerette, La, July 3O.-Made
temporarily insane by the excessive
heat, Miss Mary N. Lewis, daughter
of John B. Lewis, a prominent citi-
zen of patoutville, suicided near her
home today by hanging.
Miss Lewis, who was in the best of
health and spirits, excused herself
from the household this morning,
telling her parents she was going for
stroll in a nearby woods in an eff
fort to secure relief from the heat.
Several hours later, members of
the family becoming alarmed over
the young lady's continued absence,
went in search of her. The body was
found swinging from a tree. Miss
Lewis had used her ribbon sash to
f6 rm the moose.

WEATHER AND CROPS
The Past Week Has Been Favorable
to COtton-COrn Benefited

Picayune, July 81: The past week
has been generally a favorable Pc
riod in the cotton belt as far as the
weather is concerned. There have
been further beneficial rains in Tex
as and Oklahoma and cessation of
the rainfall in the central belt. AS a
result the crop in all sections has
made favorable progress. Even in
the Carolinas, where drouth had
caused more or less uneasiness, good
rains have improved the situation.
There is every prospect that the
monthly government report due on
Wednesday will show an uncOm-
monty good August average.
New cotton has been arriving free
ly at Texas points all during the
week, and even Georgia and Alabama
have reported their first bales, while
Louisiana has ginned bale of cot
ten during July, which is an unpre-
Cedented event. AS a result of the
favorable weather the prospect for
q large cotton crop has improved
materially and the concensus of
opinion is that the yield will exceed
all previous records.
The corn crop has been materially
benefited by the recent weather. It'll
is hardly probable that the total
yield will reach that of last year. but
the good weather recently expert
enced has done much toward bring
ing the crop up to satisfactory pro-
portions. Late corn has especially
been benefited by the recent rains,
and although the total yield may not
prove as large as last year, it is sure
to come up TO reasonable expecta-
tions.
The rice crop is making good pro-
gless and if the weather conditions
remain as favorable as they have
been during the past week the har-
vest promises to be abundant and CT
good quality. The acreage being
about the same as last year, no great
increase in the crop can be looked
or. but if the early arrivals are a
'eliable guide, it is likely that the
rep will be of exceptionally good
II ality.
The comparatively dry weather of
he past week has been very favor
bile to the sugar cane crop.

ASWELL ON MICHEL
AT the Campti Rally in Natchitoches
Parish.

In his speech delivered at Campti.
Natchitoches parish, last week, Can
dldate Aswell had this to say of Can
didate John T. Michel:
I want to ask the people of this
community and of Louisiana. what
mas the Hon. John T. Michel ever
done in Louisiana te entitle him TO
any consideration in this contestY
he has devoted himself to a line of
business that does not call for sany
executive ability or any administra-
1--we experience. What has he doneP
lie stands before the people of this
State today, supported by the official
famlly-not all of them by a long
way, either, but the only support
that he has yet developed, and as I
relieve will develop, is from the Of
1lclal families in the various par
lshes of this State.
What has he done? I point Won
to his record. It's too sad a story TO
relate in detail, but go to New Or
leans and look at the records of the
Bailey : Lambremont contest. See
john i. Michel's ward in the grasp
OF his hand, give Bailey great ma
Jorlty in the first primary, and then
see 1t, still in the grasp of his hand,
swing to the other side and bring a
curse and a SANDER upon this State
OF Louisiana by the election frauds
that have been heralded throughout
the land. He has done that. He
stands for that by his record.
What information has Mr.. Michel
OF the demands, the needs, the SYM
pathy, the interests and hopes and
the ambitions of the young men of
the country portions of the State? /
simply ask the question and leave it
to you to answer"

COLQUITT IN BAD
Texas Governor To Be Asked to Re-
sign from Methodist Church.

Houston, Tex, July 30.-Demands
that Governor Colquitt Withdraw his
membership from the church as q
result of his taking the stump
against statewide prohibition during
the recent campaign, will be made
at the Methodist conference. He has
been the recipient of a number of
letters from various preachers over
the state telling him the sinner he
has proved himself to be. A number
of the women have also let the gov
ernor know that the devil is a gen.
tleman compared with him. Between
the preachers and the women it is
quite probable that the governor
will be we'll discussed at the coming
conference.

S. 0. HOLLINGSWORTH
Is Candidate for Reelection to the
Office of Assessor.

The announcement of the can
djdacy of S. Q. Hollingsworth for re-
election to the Office of assessor fol
Caddo parish appears in this issue OF
the Caucasian. Mr.. Hollingsworth
besides the experience he has ac-
quired, is thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the office which he
has managed creditably. This office
il one of the most important as it
applies to assessments of property
and taxable values in the city and
throughout the parish. The nomina-
tion will be made at the primary
election in January 1912, and while
this announcement may be deemed
early, it is intended as advice or no.
tlce direct to his friends that he is
soliciting reelection and will ap-
preciafe the support and influenced
of his friends. Mr.. Hollingsworth is
listed with the best citizens of
Shreveport and Caddo parish, and is
assured the hearty support of his
friends.

DIR. WILEY TO GO
His Is Case of Unreasonable OBJ
stinacy Unduly Prolonged.

The Caucasian has received sew.
eral leaflets in which is presented
criticisms of DR.. Wiley, chief chem.
ist of the Agricultural Department
at Washington, D. C.
There is being waged against DR.
Wiley malignant opposition, the
purpose of which is to secure his
removal from office.
1t has been charged that "he has
not hesitated to injure great busi-
ness interests upon theories not
founded on evidence, but on the con-
trary, discredited by all evidence
that was available, that the pro-
ducts of those industries were dele
terious to health"
This charge is sweeping, but it has
not disturbed i'm the least DR.. Wiley
in his investigations.
Ii DR.. Wiley were removed, a man
of milder vein and of greater readi-
ness to persuasion would probably
become his successor.
Unfortunately for certain interests
DR.. Wiley has been more exacting in
his investigation of food products,
which, being poisonous or unwhole-
some have been condemned.
The offending of DR.. Wiley is that
he will not countenance food adul-l
teration and the use of poisonous
preservatives. In brief, he stands for
the protection of the consumers in
opposition to the producers of food
adulterated or preserved in poison
Gus substances.
Instead Of being condemned, DR..
Wiley should be commended.
He may be cranky, as charged byl
his critics, but through his crank
ism" he gives evidence that he is the
friend of the consumer who is al
ways in need of protection from the
avaricious and soulless producers of
sC-called preservers of wholesomel
food.

THE FIRST BALE
Is from Rayne, Grown by jacques
We'll.

New Orleans States July 81: The
first bale of Louisiana's new crop o.
cotton came to the local market
Monday mordning. This first rev
bale is nine days earlier than the
first bale last year, which arrived on
August 8. Rayne has the honor of
producing the first bale of the crop
OF 19i1-f2. 1t was grown by jacques
We'll and was consigned by him TO
The firm of Hyman, Hitler & Co. The
bale was auctioned off at noon by
Mr.. I. w. Danziger of Danziger &
Tessier, in Varieties alley, and was
sold for lie pound. II was boush.
by Leopold & Go. for the account .,f
Jovlte eau. the well known exporter.
1t was classed good middling, and
weighed $40 pounds.

COTTON EARLIER
l'lant Further Advanced Than Last
fear-Opening i'm Texas-The Boil
Weevil i'm Louisiana.

Memphis Commercial Appeal July
81: Another week favorable to the
cotton plant has put the crop sever
days further toward maturity. II is
two to three weeks earlier than last
year and the prospects are better in
every state than at this time last
So ason.
Complaints are local in character
and are OF excessive rainfall, pro-
ducing rank growth and damage by
bell worms. Boil weevils have done
little damage, although it appears
that they will shortly become a fac
tor in Louisiana.
Some rain is needed along the At
lantic seaboard and moisture would
be beneficial in western Texas. Else
where the moisture supply is album
dant
The plant is very heavily fruited
and has matured an unusual num-
Der of bolls for the season. The crop
is generally laid by and the fields are
as a while clean and the cotton has
attained size that will prevent
great growth of weeds and grass
hereafter.
Many of the reports received are
brilliant and over two-thirds of the
cotton belt record yield is indi-
Gated If present conditions are
maintained. Over the remaining
third the crop is good.
Cotton is opening rapidly in south
Texas and a heavy movement fore
cssted. Elsewhere, although the crop
is rather early, abundance of mois-
ture has retarded the opening of the
bolls.

hibition leaders, announced that
above all other candidates he pre-
ferred Thomas H. Ball of Houston.
