banner has been shipped by express
to the officials of tho e-de- l.. Ati~-t~,

nection with appropriate dedicatory
ceremonies.
Before sending away the precious
trophy General Forrest conceived the
idea Of dedicating 1t here and with
characteristic generosity invited q
number Of congenial friends to assist
him in the performance Of this inter
esting function. The affair took place
the latter part Of May in the spacious
headquarters Of the Odd Fellows
Journal.
An elaborate luncheon was served
by Caterer Emanuel Murray. and the
welkin was made to ring with wit and
eloquence during its discussion. As
sociate Justice w. L. Houston acted

General Forrest responded in felic-

presented to Mr.. Thompson by the
host. A telegram was dispatched to
Acting Grand Master Henry Lincoln

A TEMPORARY EYPEDIENT.

Announcement IS made by the
Texas and Pacific railway manage
ment that a "plugna train will be OPP
Grated between Gretna and Wagga-
man to handle mail and passengers
when the regular trains are late, the
purpose OF this supplemental service
being to obviats some Of the addi-
tional delay and loss of time incident
to this use OF the Southern Pacific's
river transfer at Avondale.
/ While the Inauguration Of this new
service is commendab1e and exhibits
a desire on the part of the Texas
and Pacific officials to do all they
can to improve conditions and facili-
tate the travelling public, the pro-
ject can only be regarded as a tenn
porary expedient, alternating but by
no means adequately correcting the
evils Of the situation.
The only practical and effective
remedy, in our judgment, as has al
ready been suggested in these col
umns, is to release the Texas and
Pacific company from the require,
ment to continue the use Of the
Illinois Central tracks and Southern
Pacific river transfer between New
Orleans and Ayondale, and permit
the re-esta blishment of the former
Texas and Pacific train service be,
tween New Orleans and Waggaman
over that company's own tracks, with
provision for improved terminal and
depot facilities in the city, or to re,
quire the extension Of the railway
from McDonoughville to Algiers, &C
that incoming and outgoing passen
gers could make use Of the Canal
street and Gretna ferries In cross.
ing the river.
Until something is done either to
avoid or improve the present slow
and cumbersome method of trans
ferrlng trains across the Mississippi
at Avondale, patrons OF the Texas
and Pacific line cannot expect much
improvement on the schedule which
allows the swiftest passenger trains
to consume three hours and five min
utes in covering the sixty-three miles
of distance intervening between New
Orleans and Dona1dsonyille when
everything is favorable ard no de-
lays occur except those Incidental
to the regular and unobstructed
service.

r. M. WeIcF Seriously III.

r. M. Welch, known throughout the
state as promoter and railway
builder, and always an enthusiastic
booster for Louisiana, is lying crit
ically ill at the Touro Infirmary In
New Orleans. A message from that
Institution Thursday was to the eff
feet that while his condition was
somewhat improved, he is still in a
dangerous state. A rupture of a liga-
ment Of the heart is the direct cause
of Mr.. Welch's illness. He was sent
to the hospital about ten days ago,
when he was in a state of physical
collapse.
Mr.. WEIGH waseAgrmerly mayor of
Alexandria, and subsequently imnli-
grafton agent of the Gould lines,
with headquarters at New Orleans.
Of recent years he has been en-
gagged in promoting railroad enter
prises in this state, in which work
he has achieved much success. He
is vice president of the St. Mary,
Iberia and Eastern road, and presi-
dent of the Lafourche Valley and
Gulf Railway Company. The latter
corporation is domiciled in this city,
and contemplates the building of 6
railroad on the west bank Of Bayou
Lafourche from Donaldsonville to the
Gulf Mayor Charles Maurin, of Don
aldsonville, is secretary and treas
urer of the company, and J. Numa
Colomb, also Of this city, is first vice
president.

6unkle Newspaper Editor Likes DON
aidsonviIle.

Chas. G. Richard, the talented
young editor of the Bunkie Record,
was a busL9ess visitor to Donaldson
Vile last Saturday morning, having
come down to arrange for the pur-
chase Of one Of the two newspaper
presses in the office Of this paper,
which he will transport to Bunkie to
be used in printing his interesting
weekly. Mr.. Richard is young man
OF engaging manners and an inter-
esting talker, and it gave US much
pleasure to make his acquaintance.
He expressed a very favorable opin-
ion Of Donaldsonville, stating that
the people here seem to be pro-
gressive and public-spirited, and that
the community as a whole is appar-
entity in step with the spirit of the
times. What particularly impressed
him was the evidence of progress ex-
hibited by our paved streets, hand
some high school building and
modern new hotel now nearing COM
pletion. He is loyal in his affection
for Bunkie, however, and declared
that for it's size Bunkie is one of
the very finest and most up-to-date
little towns in the state.

High Water in Mississippi River.

The government river gauge here
showed a stage of 25.3 feet at z
o'clock this morning, which Is ex-
actly the same reading as that re-
corded at similar hour yesterday.
Thursdays reading was 249 feet,
hence there has been a rise of only
4 Of foot In the past forty-eight
hours. The hank-full stage Ia %
feet. and the danger line % feet.
No apprehension il felt here con
corning the flood, since the levees
for miles up and down the river are
all In splendid shape, and are suf-
ficiently high and strong to withstand
much higher stage of water than
now seems likely to arrive w. D..
Park, tho local government weather
and river observer, says further
rise of as much as feet, giving
stage OF 33 feet, would not warrant
any fear for the safety Of the levees
In this section, since the big en-
bankments can safely be depended
on to hold in check a greater volume
of water than would be represented
by such level. 1t is not expected
that the river will go much higher
than % or 20 seet at this point.
Engineer Joseph Monget, of the
State Board of Engineers, last Thurs
day inspected the levees in this par
lsh on the east bank of the river,
comprised within the jurisdiction of
the Pontchartrain Leyee Board, and
reported finding all the embank-
ments In good shape. Mr.. Monget
has made careful examination of
all the levees on the east side of
the river from East Baton Rouge to
Orleans parishes. which are includ-
ed in the territory under the con-
troll of the Pontchartrain district,
and he says the entertainments are
IN better condition to withstand a
high stage Of water this year than
has ever before been the case. The
only precaution required at this time
Is the digging of bitches to carry
away the seepage water. and this
work Is now receiving attention.

MistrIaI in the Crawford Case.

The outcome of the Annie Crawford
case in Judge Chretien's court at
New Orleans was a mistrial, the jury
standing nine for acquittal to three
for conviction. While there was
much strong eircumstantia1 evidence
against the prisoner, the state was
unable to prove motive for the
poisoning Of Elise Crawford, the sis
ter whose death led to the prosecu-
ton, and the strong doubt was prop
erly solved in favor OF the accused.
That Annie Crawford will be released
on bail is taken for granted, and
it is doubtful il she will be brought
to trial a second time. When she
regains her liberty sheeWill go to
live with her married sister In
Texas.

A TIMELY MOVEMENT.

There is a movement afcCt in Don
looking to the transfer OF
the towns restricted district to some
more remote and less prominent To-
cality, and The Chief is in hearty &C
cord with the spirit and purpose of
the project.
AS now situated, the district is
directly opposite and in immediate
juxtaposition to Cleveland Park, the
only locality in the community af-
fording sufficient ground space and
suitable facilities for baseball games,
aviation meets, circuses and similar
attractions. The width of st. Vim
cent street alone separates the east,
ern limit of the district from the park
entrances, and people going to or
from the park are compelled to pass
in front of several Of the most no
torious houses III the district. The
local authorities endeavor to keep
these places as quiet and orderly as
possible and to compel the inmates
to observe proper decorum, but it is
a common practice for these crea
lures to assemble on the porches OF
their dwellings to gaze at the pass
ers-by and frequently dissolute male
companions are seen consorting witt
them.
These are not good sights for oul
young people to see, and there
should be no difference of opinion
among reputable citizens as to the
urgent necessity for abrogating the
evil, The common council will be
asked to take early action in the
matter, and public opinion will un
questionably sustain this body II
amending the existing ordinance 81
as to change the location Of the re
strIcted district and relegate 1t K
a less conspicuous quarter OF the
town.
While there should be no undue
haste or unnecessarily drastic actor
t1at would inflict avoidable loss AM
hardship upon property holders ant
others concerned, the fact must b.
borne in mind that the paramount
consideration in such matters is tn
preservation OF the public morals an
/ the greatest good to the creates
number. Individual rights and inter
ests should neyersbe lightly ignore'
or violated, but they cannot be sui
4 fered to obstruct Or destroy the gen
era1 welfare.

Special Sunday Rates on r. and P

Special Sunday Rates on T. and P.
It is announced that, commencing
tomorrow, the Texas and Pacific Rail
road will hereafter sell excursion
tickets between all local stations in
Louisiana, each Sunday, at one fare
plus 10 cents for the %und trip.
The minimum rate at which these
tickets will be sold is so cents, and
they will be limited to date of sale
for return.
This is a concession for which the
business interests of this city, and
the patrons of the T. and P. road
generally, have been striving for
many years, and that it will result
in greatly increased travel and prove
of much benefit commercially to the
several towns along the route of the
T. and P main and branch lines are
facts that may be taken for, granted.
Donaldsonville should benefit in par
ticularly large measure from the
granting of these rates, since it is
the commercial and geographical cen
ter of an extensive and prosperous
territory served by the,@T. and P.
lines, and has inducements to offer
in a business way which cannot be
surpassed by any town in this sec
ton.
