WHY MERCHANTS SHOULD
ADVERTISE,

One of the most effective wavs
for local merchants S to oppose en-
croachments of mailorder houses is
to advertise literally in the home
paper. Too many merchants sleep
on their oars while the catalog
house comes in and takes a large
portion of their trade. They de-
mur at undertaking anything like
a thorough system of advertising,
contending that the drift to the
mall-order houses is bound to
come; and yet they make free
complaint over the inroads of the
mail-order houses into their par
tScular trade. The fact of the
matter is, the trade belongs right
fully to them and would come
to them if they were progressive
enough in inviting it with good,
live advertis NO.

A YEAR OF VAST DISASTERS

! And now comes the cyclones in
Illinois and Indiana to add 10 the
list OF the catastrophes of the year
England, Germany and the Unit.
ed States have had strikes of large
proportions, in the past few
months, those Of England being
the most destructive which any
country ever saw. And, SO far as
regards England and the United
States, they are not yet entirely
over. A large part of the Miss
lssippi Valley has been visited by
the greatest floods ever seen
bringing the loss of life and prop.

touched. The greatest steamer
ever built has just gone done. in
volving the biggest catastrophe
IN maritime annals. In the past
few months railway wrecks have
been especially numerous. The

the most destructive which the
country has witnessed.
Wars greet us from many quar-.

THE TROLLEY SERVICE,

leans shot it's first car over the
road from their Power Plant at
Olivier into the City Of New Ibe-
ria, to the great satisfaction Of the
taxpayers and business men Of this
City, thus connecting us with our
sister town Of Jeanerette. The
people of New Iberia, and in fac5
those residents along the line Of
the system have reason to feel
more than gratified with the pro-
moters, Mr.. F. W. Crosby of New
Orleans and Mr.. A. G.. Barrow Of
this City, who worked so diligent-
~ in bringing to a realization this
important electric line that will
be feeder to the business inter
ests of both cities, putting the
country residents in direct and
rapid communication with the two
owns. Now that this link has
been made in that direction it be-
hooves the progressive element to
see the stockholders branch out TO
the southern direction of the Par
sh at an early date and make New
Iberia the hub Of the line. While
| great number of our citizens ap-
)reciate what road of this kind
means for the advancement of
New Iberia from a commercial
tandpoint, still there are a num-
'er who are inclined to be pes
imists and do not appreciate as

CLARENCE DARROW INDICTED
Lawyer for Confessed Dynamiters Ac-
cused of Bribery in Connection
With Mcnamara Case.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Clarence Oar
row, noted lawyer and author, for
years the chief mainstay of organized
labor in the United States in the
courts, was arrested on charges of
bribery growing out of the Mcnamara
case, the county grand jury having
returned two indictments against him,
one for the bribery of George N. Lock
wood and another for bribing juror
Robert Balm.
Darrow was in Judge Conrey's court
when the indictments were reported. The
warrants were read to him there and bail
bond of $4,000 was provided for him.
Each one of two indictments returned
against Darrow contains two counts. The
first is under section 90 of the penal code
which provides that 1t is an offense to
offer or give a bribe to any person who
may be authorized by law to hear or de-
termine any question or controversy with
intent to influence his vote, opinion or de-
cision. A conviction under this section OF
the code is punishable by Imprisonment
in the states prison for not less than one
or more than ten years.
The second is under section 95 of the
penal code, which provides that 1t is an
offense to corruptly attempt to influence a
juror or any person summoned or drawn
as a juror. A conviction under this sec
ton is punishable by fine not exceeding
$4,000 or by imprisonment In the states
prison for not more than five years.

ROBBERS HELP THEMSELVES
Lock Officers of Bank In Vault and
Walk Away With All the Money
That Is in Sight.

Vancouver, B. C.-Two unmasked
robbers entered bank here at noon
and helped themselves to all money
that was in sight. They then escaped.
The robbers. for their raid. chose the
Hill Crest branch of the Royal Bank of
Canada. Shortly after IL o'clock they ap-
peared at the institution, the first man
to enter pointing a revolver at Manaaer
A. A. Steaves. The second man covered
Ledgerkeeper Harrison and Teller Rich
mond. He, the first to speak, said or rly:
Put your hands up-high."
Richmond and Harrison were some ais
tance from the thief and Richmond, in
stead of complying at once with the COM
mand, backed out OF his little cage quick
ly and threw the keys into small box
inside. at the same time slamming the
cage door. Equipped with spring lock,
the door fastened as soon as 1t shut.
and the keys were inside the cage.
While this maneuver by Teller Rich
mond hndered the robbers, it did not
baffle them. One of them hunted for
poker, found one. showed 1t through the
cage until he hooked the key ring and
triumphantly drew forth the keys. Then
he entered the apartment and scooped up
all the cash.
Meanwhile Manager Steaves and his
STAFF had been driven into one of the big
vaults and locked within 1t.

BIG Tunnel IS FINISHED
TASK OF BORING UNDER HUDSON
RIVER ACCOMPLISHED.
Great Waterworks Scheme for Which
New York City viii Spend $780,
100000 Before Work Ceases.

New York Clty.-The forging of the
greatest link in the greatest chain of
its kind in the worlds history was
completed at noon on January 80
when blast Of dynamite, fired LOO
feet under the surface of the Hudson
river at Storm King, N. Y, concluded
the digging of tunnel through which
in years to come will pour millions
of gallons of water from the Catskill
mountains for consumption by the
city of New York, more than hun
dred miles distant.
Mayor Gaynor and members Of the
board of water supply were present to
officially celebrate the event and, as soon
as the debris of the blast was cleared
away, they walked through the 5000 feet
length of the tunnel from shore to shore.
The successful completion of the UNDER
the-river tunnel marks the final definite
assurance of the practicability of the CO.
1ossal waterworks scheme for which New
York City will spend S160,000,000 before
the work ceases on 1t. The constructing
of the great Ashokan dam and reservoir.
with an area greater than Manhattan
island itself; the building of the $50 miles
of serpent-like aqueduct, with its half
dozen sub-reservoirs, and the laying of
miles upon miles of tributary piping under
the city itself are problems to tax the
ingenuity and resources of the greatest
of engineers and constructors, but none
of these tasks was as battling or doubtful
of consummation as the boring under the
Hudson.
The city had great difficulty in finding
suitable location for crossing under the
river, as it was necessary to find solid
stratum of rock without break through
which the tunnel could be carried. The
tunnel is Is feet wide in diameter and
cylindrical The diameter will be re-
duced to II feet when the concrete lining
is in place.
The danger of serious water famine
In New York was foreseen by investiga-
tors many years ago. The present system
is barely able to meet the demands now
made upon it, but the new system will be
able to supply an entire city of 100000,
which it is estimated New York will have
by 1890. Also the general plan of it Is
such that it's capacity can be doubled by
construction of additional dams in the
Cats!sills that would require less than
a years work to build.

TAFT DEFENDS ADMINISTRATION
Defies Critics to Point to Single

His Four Years Record.

Cleveland, O.-President William
Howard Taft, speaking at the ninth

the Tippecanoe club in the Chamber
of Commerce auditorium, challenged
contest on the record of his adm4his.
tration and defied his critics to point
to a single thing which the party
needs fear in the political record OF
his four years. administration. The
president discussed the record of his
administration in detail, dividing II
into three ivisions-legislative enact.
ment, conduct of foreign affairs and
purely executive action. Under the
first head the president discussed the
tariff, defending the Payne law, as one
that, while not being full compli.
ance with the promise of revision
downward, has substantial revisions
and does not deserve the anathema
and abuse to which 1t was subjected.
