shock to his many friends. Mr.. Scher.
er suffered much during the last days
Of his illness and with it all he was
the same kind husband and father as
he had been before. He was always
fond OF outdoor sports and his hunting
and fishing trips were his only recrea.
ton. He was always attentive to bus
mess, OF easy approach and an all.
round good fellow, with charity in his
heart. None ever appealed to him in
vain.
Mr.. Scherer was born in New Or
leans, April 2sth, 1871. Fifteen years
ago he moved to our town and has
been one Of the most well-known and
popular men here ever since. For
many years he conducted the saloon
corner Patterson and Bauman streets.
Mr.. Scherer is survived by his wife,
nee Elizabeth Friedman, one daugh-
ter, little Elita Scherer, and by two
stepchildren, Merrill and Miss Mil
dred. Five brothers, George, Charles,
Jake and William Scherer of New Or

Missed.

The following article is taken from
one of our evening papers. The Her
aid will be glad to announce the open
ing of the Office when it is opened.
We are from Missouri.
western Union Makes Definite An.
nouneement Concerning Branch.
That the long desired telegraph sta
ton is at last to be established in AL
giers. was made known, Friday, by T.
P. Cummings, district superintendent
of the Western Union. The station
will occupy part of the Cumberland
Telephone Company's building and
will be placed in operation Nov. /. Mr..
Cummings said that the Office would
be opened for business sooner, but the
management is waiting on the arrival
of furniture.
Complaints had been constant from
Algiers residents on the lack of tele-
graph office in the Fifth District. They
argued that business was delayed and
the town handicapped by its lack of
photographic facilities. AS the nearest
telegraph station was across the RI
Yer, the slowness with which mes
sages were handled was apparent.
Voluntary Improvement.
1t was on this account and not be-
cause of any ruling by the Railroad
Commission that the Office is being es-
tablished, according to Mr.. Cummings.
The Western Union now has branch
offices for public use in the Cotton Ex-
change, Sugar Exchange, Board of
Trade, Poydras street Office, Union de-
pot, French Market, Stock Landing,
st. Charles Hotel, The Inn, Monteleone
Hotel, Cosmopolitan Hotel, and the
Audubon building.
N. E. Church, manager Of the Postal
Telegraph Company, said that his
company does not intend laying a tele-
graphic cable across the river in COM
petition with the Western Union, as
ne says the expense Of $4,000 would
be too heavy. and the remuneration
too small. Mr.. Church said that mes
sages arriving In this city for Alger-
ines are delivered by messenger boys,
so that no residents of Algiers are in
convenienced on account of lack of ac-
commodations by his company.

ALeIERs COMPANY GETS FIRST
HONORS.

Company H of the 18th Louisiana
Regiment, Uniform Rank, w. o. W.
arrived Saturday morning over the IL
linois Central railroad from Jackson
Miss, where the Woodmen's Encamp
ment of the Fourth District had been
held.
This district comprises the states OF
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
This crack company captured the first
prize for the best-drilled company on
the grounds, which means a trip to
the National Encampment without any
expense to its members, and the privi
lege of entering the national competi
tive drill. There were four other com.
panies participating in the drill.
The roster of the company is as fol.
lows:
Capt. L. F. Gisch, S. Carson Smith,
c. NJ. McClosky, r. Kennedy, ]. Torres,
H. Holt, G. T. Geiger, w. F. Sperier,
P. Babin, NJ. VI. Clancy, ]. H. MARI, F.
Cheny, G. w. Pollock, Jos. Yatter, F.
Killeen, c. Berthaut and Major NJ. ].
Duplantis.
Company H was the last company
to drill in the competition event and
fifteen minutes were allowed them to
go through the manual. Captain L. F..
Gisch, as in previous competitions,
was equal to the occasion, and at the
conclusion of the drill had gained SO
points and the first honors. At the
conclusion he and the members ex-
changed Fluctuations over their sue
cess and Captain Gisch again proudly
wore the blue ribbon of championship,
which was won two years ago at Gulf
port.

A POSSIBILITY.
FROM ANY PART OF AlGiERS TO
ANY PART OF THE CITY
FOR A DIME.

Now that the Grand Isle Railroad
Company, who have already made ex'
tensive Improvements, have shown our
people here that they mean business,
We may seen expect a new feature in
transportation, whereby patrons may
be transferred from any part of Algiers
across the Third District Ferry and
then transferred TO any part of the city
| for a price less than would be charged
| by paying the individual companies
their standard rates. These commu.
tation tickets are not a new thing by
any means, and in many cities in the
country are combinations of this kind
made. whereby the passenger is given
an advantage by buying a certain
number of tickets, whereby they may
receive a substantial reduction, and
the transportation companies over
whose road they travel will also be
imbursed by virtue of the fact of in
creased travel. AS an illustration We
might cite the towns of Louisville,
Ky. and New Albany and Jefferson
vile, Ind. These cities, which are
known as the Fall Cities, have one of
the finest interurban electric lines in
that section of the country. Passen-
gers from either New Albany or JEFF
fersonville, for one fare, ride from
one city to the other, across the Ohio
river. into another city and state, for
the small sum of 10 cents. The dis
lance travelled amounts to about six
miles. If this same passenger were
compelled to pay individual fares to
the different companies, the price of
the transportation would be something
like 20 cents, but by buying a certain
amount of Communication tickets this
big reduction is made and is profitable
to all parties. II has been stated that
Capt. Halliday, of the Union Ferry
Company. is very much in favor Of the
idea, and We are led to believe from
the hustling qualities of our new rail-
way enterprise here, that a combina-
ton of this kind will soon be made
which will not only stimulate addi-
tional travel, but will be profitable,
also, to both parties. The people Of
the Crescent City no doubt will well
come an innovation of this kind and
We trust that in the near future it will
be an established fact.
