and yigor put into that body.
The new officers are DR.. Jas. Kill

two staples will be planted and that
cabbage and tomatoes will be includ-
ed.

YOUNG EX-CONNCT IS
DANGEROUSLY SHOT
IN RESISTING ARREST
Out Of Penitentiary but a Few Hours,
Youth Continues on Career Of
Crime With Results Disastrous to
Himself.

If he RECEIVERS from the pistol
wound through his body, Joe William
will probably learn that it is q
mighty short time between peniten-
tiary sentences, for in event of his
recovery he is almost sure to receive
a longer term than the one which he
completed on Tuesday.
Williams is a white boy, eighteen
years old. Tuesday he was liberat-
ed from Angola, where he had sery-
ed years sentence, with good time
off, on a charge of horse theft in
Alexandria. He now lies in the par
ish prison, facing but two alternates
death or another penitentiary SEN
tence.
Williams arrived at Wilhelm about
2:30 p. m. on the day he was releas-
ed from the penitentiary, and began
III hinhl6. EdlIy LII IllS ulSuI, huON-
ing the inmates to be away from
home, he entered the dwelling of
John Mullins, an employe of the Will
helm Lumber Company, and stole a
pistol and $191. The robbery was
discovered and reported to Deputy
Sheriff Fred Wilcox, who happened
to be in the neighbOrhoOd. ArriV-
ing at Wilhelm, Mr.. Wilcox was ap-
praised of the circumstances and Or
dered the boy to throw up his hands.
The youth replied with pistol shot
and started to run. Mr. Wilcox then
fired at him, one shot striking in the
back to the left of the spine and
coming out in the left breast.
Williams was brought to ST. Fran
cisville Wednesday morning, and is
now in Jail, receiving treatment from
the parish physician. His wound is
serious and recovery is prObemati-
cal.

STEAMBOAT CAPS|zES
WHILE MOVING CAMP
TO TORRAS CREvASSE
Baton Rouge Boat Turns Turtle op.
posite Brunswick Landing on
Way With convicts to Close Tor
ras Crevasse.

The Steamer Marjorie, belonging
to the Capital City Oil Company, of
Baton Rouge, turned turtle in a hard
blow of wind, opposite Brunswick
Landing, twelve miles above Bayou
Sara, Saturday night, and is total
loss. The boat did not sink imme-
diately, but floated to point about
a mile below Baton Rouge and was
beached.
The Marjorie had in tow the barge
Lucille, bound from Hope Plantation
to Red River Landing with Capt. An
derson's convict camp, where the
force of 1874 men is to be used in
closing the Torras crevasse. The
barge was not damaged and proceed
ed on it's way in tow of another boat.
None of the convicts escaped, and
but one life was lost, that being the
negro woman cook. The body was
recovered and brought to Bayou Sara.
Dr.. W. H. Taylor held an inquest on
Sunday morning, and the remains
were taken to Baton Rouge.
For some time the Marjorie has
been employed in the Baton Rouge
Morgan City trade, through the Pla-
quemine locks, but during the
high water period was under charter
by the United States government for
rescue work. The boat was 80 feet
long and had capacity of 1875 passen
gers and 80 tons, exclusive of the
barge. She was under the command
off Capt. G.. W. Strong. The loss is
about $4,000, fully covered by insur
ance.
1t is said that the convicts behav-
ed remarkably well during the excite
ment and there was no attempt at es-
cape.

POINTERS FOR TRUCK GROWERS.
Rev. S. L. Riggs Gives Some Time
ly Tips.
To Truck Growers:

10 Truck Growers:
The selection and preparation of
the land is of prime interest for fall
crop of cabbage. Choose a level
plot, preferably a bottom. Cabbage
will thrive in rather stiff land that
contains vegetable matter in suffic-
lent quantity to hold the moisture
we'll during dry fall. The best way
to get this leguminous substance in
the soil is to pillow under a good crop
of pea vines. The peas ought to
have at least weeks growth to be
very profitable to the soil, say plant
about 25th of May and pillow under
25th of July. When blowing for the
peas let the soil be broken deep
from one-half to one inch deeper
than formerly But when you are
blowing under the pea vines to plant
fall cabbage do not turn up any clay
or unbrOken soil on top for it is life
less and will injure the growing crop.
In blowing during the fall for spring
planting it is safe to break soil from
to 2 inches deeper each fall until
you get or 10 inches of good soil
giving four months for the weather
to operate and impart life to the
dead clay. About the best method /
ever found to plow under a good
crop of pea vines and weeds was to
use D. O. Avery pillow, Revolving Col
ter, about Is inches in diameter, use
triple tree with three good horses or
mules, two of them walking in vines,
one in furrow. Place a piece of log
chain on right end of tree and other
end to beam of plow just far enough
ahead of Golfer so it Will not hit the
blade, and let it drag all the weeds
and vines close to the ground and
everything will be completely buried.
This is done in the Last week of Judy
for fall crop of cabbage. Let it stand
broken in big lands or beds 16 to 20
feet wide. After a week or ten days
start harrow or disc, working on the
surface so as not to disturb the mass
Of weeds and vines buried under
meath. By August Is or Goth lay off
4-foot rows by running Planter Jun
ior Cultivator, 3 inch teeth on side,
5-inch teeth in rear, then you are
ready for planting the seed in hills
two and one-ha.lf feet apart Draw a
little dirt with hand to center and at
same time press down a little, make
indentation with three knuckles and
sprinkle about II to Is seed in these
knuckle impressions, drawing about
three eighths to one-half inch of dirt
over them and at same time press it
slightly. This can all be done very
quickly--a man at his best can plant
an acre per day.
l will try to give further advice as
season may demand.

public expenditures, was the decision
of the board of regents of the state
university this afternoon; when it put
the knife into the budget passed by
the last legislature and cut the total
from 100000 to $2O5,000.
The un!versity's requests at Salem
are to be confined to the following
items: 100000 for a new class room
building, $4,000 for repairs and mi
nor additions, $50 OoO year for two
years for additional maintenance. and
$4,000 a year for two years for cor
respondence and extension work, a
total of $2O5, 900 for the biennium.
The procedure favored by the re-
gents was the subm ssion of the items
to Governor West, with the request
that he should lay the university's
needs before the ways and means
committee. The badly needed library
building will have to wait for some
future time. In its place it is pro-
posed to spend only 100000, which
Is to be used to attain two ends with

the valuable collection of $4,000 vol
limes belonging to the state. and will
at the same time leave more of the
old part of the building for the stu
derts, who now frequently have to
stand in line for places to study. The
greater part of the 100000 it is plan
ned to expend for fireproof steel
shelves, which can be removed to a
more suitable building at such time
as one is provided. The brick walls
themselves are to be made as mex
pensive as possible.
Nearly half the amount to be ask
ed Of the legislature, or 100000 is
wanted for a class room building and
its ccessary furniture and heating.
Since the last building on the cam

IGRANDMOTHERS
USED SAGE Ten
To Darker the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
+ to Its Natural Color,

y 1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although it
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made ''sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom of
our grandmothers in using "sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit,
The present generation has the advan-
tage of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth's
! Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. AS a
scalp tonic and color restorcr this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
Usage tea made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruif germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.
