A Radical Change i'm Law Making

Representative Leon r. Locke, of
Lake Charles, will introduce bill
which seeks to make a radical
change in the manner of passing
new laws. His plan is to have che
Legislature meet every year for
thirty days, instead of sixty days
session alternate years. He propos-
es that no bill be passed at the ses-
sion it is introduced. But that all
bills introduced at one session be
printed and we'll advertised and
passed On finally at next years ses-
sion. This plan has merit and it is
not improbable that it will engage
the serious attention of the Legis
lature whine it meets next month";
Coushatta Citizen.
The bill proposed, if submitted,
will be defeated. To change the BIZ
ennial session of the Legislature
would require constitutional
amendment. As programmed, an
enactment Of immediate Importance
would have to lay over one year,
ieng after the necessity for such
legislation had passed. 1t would be
pra' ticable and sensible to have all
proposed legislation given the wild
est publicity, at least sixty days pre-
ceding its presentation for action
and bill for this purpose would
probably receive favorable cbm-
mendation.

Mrs. Jonas Buried Friday.

The remains of Mrs. Sarah Block
Jonas, who died of heart failure in
Washington April 2, arrived in New

ing, and the funeral took place on
the arrival of the train bearing the

Mrs. Jonas, who was in the 80th
year of her age at the time death
overlook her, says the States, was a
sister of the wife of the late Sem
ator B. F. Jonas. She had resided in
New Orleans all of her married life,
and UP to the time of the death of
her husband, when she went to live
with her son in Washington. For
several months past she had been
in feeble health, though not to an
extent to indicate the near approach
of dissolution. She is survived by
one son, Charles II. Jonas, with
whom she resided in Washington
and two daughters, Mrs. Oscar Nix
on, OF New Orleans, and Mrs. Frank
Bertune, of Atlanta.

THE RED RIVER.
Indications Are There Will Be No
Flood This Year.

In these days of flood of the Mis-
sissippi river, inquiry is being di-
rected to the Red river. AS reported
by the Weather Bureau, of which J.
w. Cronk is the local foreeaster, the
fall will probably continue at Full
ton and Shreveport during the next
4S hours. Sulphur river will fall at
Finley during the next is hours.
The stage of the river yesterday
was as follows:
Denison, Texas, 80 feet; flood
stage % feet.
Fulton, Ark. tl.5 feet; flood stage
% feet.
Finley, Texas, 1876 feet; flood
stage % feet.
Spring Bank, Ark, 20 feet, flood
stage 20 feet.
Shreveport IA feet, flood stage 20
feet.
By flood stage is meant the stage
of the river when all low places un-
protected by levees are flooded.
The indications are that there will
be no flood of the Red river valley.
However, watchfulness is necessary.
So is the strengthening of the levees
at weak points.

The EpiscOpalian Diocesan Council

New Orleans States: The closing
session of the meeting of the Dio-
cesan Council of the Prospestant
Episcopal Situation, which began
Wednesday, was held Friday, begin
ming at 10 am, in Christ Church ca
thedral, with Bishop Davis Sessums
presiding and a full attendance of
delegates. The session was largely
of routine character, the reading
and adoption of committee reports
being the chief business transacted.
The principal feature of the session
was the closing address of Bishop
Sessums, in which he said that the
most hopeful signs of the growth of
the church were represented in the
hquickening of interest in missionary
work and the undoubted increased
interest of laymen in the general
church work.
In the course of his remarks the
bishop touched upon the flood con-
! ditions in North Louisiana, saying
that the distress there was unques-
tionably great, and expressing the
hope that the parish missions of the
| church would be enabled to do
much towards supplying the needs
| of the flood sufferers. He recon-
mended that the missions present
the needs of those caught in the dis
aster to their respective congrega-
tions, which he hoped would re-
spond speedily and literally with
their offerings.
The present board of directors of
the Protestant Episcopal Associa-
| tion were all reelected unanimous
ly as follows: Rt. Rev. Davis Ses-
sums, president; Revs. H. B. Bake
well, E. w. Hunter, w. S. Slack, By
ron Holley, J. d. LaMothe, J. o. Mil
Ter and Messrs. James Mcconnell, G..
R. Westfeldt, J. H. billiard, A. Le-
Blanc, J. w. Belknap and II. J. Car
ter.
Edward Belknap was unanimously
reelected treasurer, his faithful
discharge of his duties being the
subject of an eloquent tribute by
Bishop Sessums. Rev. J. Orson Mil
Ter was reelected registrar. Bishop
Sessums appointed Rev. Arthur
Price acting archdeacon for North
Louisiana. 1t was decided that the
November meeting of the diocesan
board will be held in Charlotte, N. C..

Passenger Service Discontinued.

1t has been announced in the New
Orleans States that passenger .traf-
fic on the Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Company's lines between
New Orleans and Shreveport has
been discontinued. This is due to the
high water conditions which prevail
between Angola and Naples, where
trains are ferried across the river.
1t will be recalled that there was a
break recently in the outer levee at
Angola. -
In a statement given out Friday
morning it was announced thai
through passenger service between
the two terminal points would be
discontinued for the present.

It is to be hoped that among the
recovered will be the body of Mrs.

ing on the 18th of January followed

court was in the act Of mounting into
its buggy came from behind and, seiz-
ing the courts dangling leg. the other
foot being on the step, forcibly pulled
back the court, frightened the horse
And nearly caused an accident. The
reason alleged for this by accused is
that he wanted to hear the result of an
application Of his. The practice by Pc
ttioners OF pulling the courts by the

He is sentenced to one months rigor-

Strange to relate. the lieutenant gov
ernor Of the province on reading this
sentence felt it necessary to intimate
to the magistrate that neither the sem
tence itself nor the peculiar phraseolo-
gy in which it was couched was calcu-
lated to meet with approval from minds
running in legal grooves.

TOMB IN A TOWER.


4 Remarkable gdlhes, the Whim Of =
Wealthy Tee Planter.
Near the well known seaport of
Southampton, England. there is a re-
Variable edince known as Petersen s
tower. The erection il all the more sin
guar because 1t marks the burying
place Of certain John Petersen. a
wealthy tea planter.
The man appears to have been rath.
er an eccentric Individual. and in or.
der to prove to the world his belief in
concrete as a building material set
about the construction Of this great
tower. The building took many years
to complete. but is entirely Of CON
crete and by the time the final layers
had been placed had reached an alti.
tude Of more than 800 feet. 1t is about
forty years since the tower was erect
ed, and its present condition is certain.
" justification of the faith of the
builder.
As has been indicated. Petersen left
instructions that his body should be
placed under the tower. and this was
accordingly carried out. Another de-
sire that the chamber at the summit
should contain a light was defeated by
the firm stand which Trinity House.
the lighthouse authority. took on the
matter. Such an illumination would
have been visible for miles out to sea
and would naturally have proved very
misleading to sailors.-Scientific Amer

cross into the picturesque suburbs; the
view Of the Alps is one Of the finest
to be had. One may walk through the
streets Of Berne, writes an American

The odd fountains will be observed
with interest. They were mostly built
in the sixteenth century. There are a
number Of public institutions worth a
visit-the historical museum. museum
Of industry and the museums Of art
and nature; several libraries and the
public gardens, which contain the great
bear pit so universally known. to say
nothing Of the quaint gates and the

Bears have been kept on public exhibi.

Duke Of Zahringen on the site Of the
town.
