FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR RIA
Mr.. Edmond Boutte of this

City who met with severe acct
dent last Monday at Anse la
Butte is doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstan~
ces. It seems Mr.. Boutte who
was engaged as driller in one Of
the wells Of the Ehrick Oil Com
pany and the engineer, Mr.. Ellie
I[ulot, who was assisting him
were standing on a frail board
across hot pool Of oil at the
Company's we'll when the board
broke, precipitating them into
the pool. Mr.. Boutte was
scalded on both legs up to the
knees while his partner had one
leg badly burned with the hot
fluid. Mr.. Boutte was at once
brought to New Iberia where he
is receiving medical attention.
Among the refugees reaching
this section of the State last week
from Tampico, Mexico, was Mr..
and Mrs. Leopold Beslini Of st.
Martinpille. While en- route to
their home they visited New 1be-
ria and stopped with their friends
in this City, Mr.. and Mrs. Al
phonse Hitter Of upper Main
Street. Mr.. Beslin was engaged
in the hotel business at Tampico,
but states that his notice to board
the ship came so suddenly that
he was unable to gather any
Of his personal property, making
his flight with but little more
than the clothes on his back.
After spending a few hours here
ne and his wife departed for st.
Martinville.
Mr.. Leopold Levy, owner OF
the handsome brick building at
the corner Of Main and Bridge
Streets which came near being
destroyed by fire last Friday, ar
rived here on Thursday evening
to look after his interest in this
City. In conversation with Mr..
Levy he stated to us that he de-
sired rigid and careful investi-
CATION on the part Of the State
Fire Marshal and was willing to
pay a reward for the conviction
Of the person who attempted to
destroy his property. In all
probability had the property been
destroyed, Mr.. Levy would have
sold the lot in preference to i'm
proving his holdings. His losses
on the last fire at the same spot
ran into the thousands of dollars
only a few years ago which is but
little encoura cement for him to
make such investments here.
The New Iberia Creamery,
under the management Of Mr.. j.
G. Kendrick made its trial rum
this week and turned out some

this industry, which is destined
to become one Of the most bene-

lNFINITUDE OF SUNS.

Those We Know Are as Nothing to
Those Beyond Our Ken.
The photographs of 25,876 standard
plates show the points, or images, of
100, 100000 suns. These have not been
actually counted, but plates secured by
exposure In telecameras to typical
regions of the sky have, and the entire
number has been subjected to the cal
culus of probabilities, resulting In the
general number Of 1OO,0OO,000 colossal
suns.
These have been weighed-that Is,
their combined force of g~ravitational
attraction has been computed. This
led to one Of the most overwhelming
overwhelmingly, this entire pull or
attractions of the quantity Of matter
in 100, 100000 suns as massive as our
own sun could not even begin to I'M
part the high specific speeds OF several
well known runaway" suns. These
are dashing through what has been
named space with velocities so much
greater than all other suns that they
are a class by themselves.
Our sun contains 333,426 times more
matter than is in the earth, and this
multiplied by 100000 0 reveals the
quantity of matter known to exist, be
yond all human Imagination. But this
immense mass may almost be ignored
as a mere fraction In comparison with
the gigantic quantity necessary to I'M
part a velocity of from $50 to 200 miles
per second to these suns flying athwart
the sidereal universe.
Let the number of these suns or dark
bodies run up to trillions or octlil1ons'
then the entire quantity OF matter IN
all of them would be less tina the
weight of one grain of sand II com
pared to an infinite quantity OF matter.

Sanborn streets, was seriously in
iured in an accident which rendered
him unconscious. About two miles

face and forehead, however, were
much bruised up. His lower lip
was torn and he received several
cuts and scratches. He was brought
to the city in an auto by Frank Sin

ans Office, a physician having been
called who met the party on the
road. White was making the trip
with other boys when the accident
happened. He will be laid up for
about a week, but no serious results

camp to get dinner. AS we were
going to haye company for that
meal, we took special pains to have
things as nice as possible. The
chocolate pudding which we were
going to have went through an es
pecially peculiar experience. After
the pudding was cooked Mr.. Sven
o took it down to the beach to
cool. We were entertaining our
company in a royal manner when
one of the girls went down to the
lake after the pudding. Unable to
find it she called Mr.. Swenson, who
discovered the dessert about five
rods up the shore filled with sand
and water which the waves had
washed in. So we had to go with
out our dessert.
Immediately we began to gather
up our belongings with a great deal
of reluctance. In the midst of this
hurry we heard a call at the top of
the hill, which proved to be a Hud-
son Camp Fire girl. We were much
pleased and found out a great deal
about each others work.
A number of our party walked to
Prescott Roads, while the remain
der took the boat to Hudson. AS
the lake was very rough we were
dripping wet when we arrived there.
Some excitement was aroused about
two coats and a hat which were
mislaid but were found again.
No matter if the real trip itself is
a thing of the past, we still have
some live" reminders of our out
ing, for we have scores of pictures
which we took. 1t has been a glo-
rious experience-it brought us in
touch with Mother Nature and
above all it taught us better than
ever the real meaning of Camp Fire.

ENTIRE CITY ENLISTS IN WAR
ON FLY
ehiIdren's Army Of Sanitation Cleans Up City
Under Leadership Of Visiting Nurse.

Oshkosh, June lily traps on
the main street of Oshkosh are not
successful because the street is now
being kept SO clean as a result of
the cleanup and fly campaign re.
Gently started here by the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association, &C.
cording to Miss Mate Kinney, visit
ing nurse who has taken a lead in
the work. The children in the
school, however, turn in several
thousand dead flies each day.
THE whole city of Oshkosh has
become SO interested in the work,
that the campaign bids fair to be
carried on automatically all sum
mer," said Miss Kinney today.
War has been declared and the
citizens, as we'll as the children, are
determined that the flies are to be
exterminated. Merchants are MAX
ing an effort never known in the
past, b a S e they have been
brought to feel that every fly in
their vicinity is a reflection on their
business.
The children are organized into
an army of sanitation. The officers
are ranked according to the number
of flies they have killed, and are
given chevrons furnished by the
Wisconsin nri.Tuberculosis Asso-
citation to show their rank"
The Inspection department of the
army has already reported several
v%iolaters of the garbage ordinance
and the manur ordinance which
was passed recently in response to
this agitation. Not only is the fly
swatted but his breeding places are
being taken away. Over FIVE thou
sand hand-bills have been distri-
buted by the Boy Scouts in this
campaign in addition to the talks in
all of the schools and a great deal
of newspaper publicity.

CRUELTY IN HANDLING HOGS

Cruelty in handling and loading
hogs and c-arelessness in overcrowd-
ing cars by shippers in sending
| such stock TO market are evils which
are costing pork producers of the
| Northwest large sums every month
and the effects of which are accen-
tuated by hot weather. Commission
dealers, packers and the stock yards
authorities at South ST. Paul have
Joined in the campaign being made
at all of the principal packing points
of the country to bring about a hu-
name reform.
At the stockyards the use of
prodding poles, clubs or other ap-
pliances for beating animals in
| driving them to and from the pens
has been forbidden and all employees
cautioned against abusive treat
ment of all kinds of stock. Packers
who found themselves obliged to
discriminate against farmers or
shippers who offered stock showing
| the effects of abuse because of the
damaging effects on the meat al
| ready see improvement but find
that there are still many patrons of
the South St. Paul market who are
slow to recognize the money value
20 themselves of humane treatment
of stock.
Cruel methods of handling stock,
both at the market and in the coun-
try, must be stopped and the stock
yards interests have concentrated
their efforts to check such abuse by
placing emphasis on the financial
the matter.
1t is pointed out that the owners
of the abused animals are always
the heaviest losers when bruises
are infected. The buyer at market
points generally penalties subse-
quent shipments of such persons
when he discovers that an animal
or two in a load has been injured
by beating.
Cooperation of the railroad en-
ployes, farmers, country shippers
and the stock yards drivers is being
, sought and all who have anything
to do with the handling of cattle,
hogs and sheep are being urged to
exercise patience and consideration
The danger in driving cattle and
hogs too rapidly in hot weather is
being especially emphasized,
On hot days shippers of hogs who
fail to provide cool clean cars are
more than likely to experience con
siderable losses in shipping hogs
Warming is being sent broadcast
against throwing water on over
heated hogs, but sprinkling of cars
or the placing of several cakes of
ice in cars are suggested as mears
of minimizing losses and shrink in
transit. Figures readily prove that,
at current prices for hogs, one or
two dead animals in a car means a
loss that would offset a large part
Of the freight charges.
The hackers of the campaign are
confident that the move for more
humane handling of stock will get a
hearty response throughout the
Northwest.

LIFE OF A SIBERIAN EXILE
One Political Offender Who Lives In
Comparative Luxury.

Comparative Luxury.
How a political exile lives in Siberia
is shown in M. B. Prices book "Si-
beria." Mr.. Price encountered this ex-
lie at Minusinsk. He and his family
lived in a large house, and his actual
punishment seems to consist Of a GER
tain social ostracism consequent upon
Punishment from the great centers Of
Russian life.
when l went to call Upon him he
came to the door himself and, showing
me in through a where he and
his wife had been having their v
ing meal, ushered me into a room be-
yOnd. l noticed his calm, philosophical
face was that of a man who had evil
IDENTIFY endured mental strain with stoi-
cal fOrtitude, but his wife, more nerv-
than he, showed signs of former
anxiety. 1t seemed strange indeed that
l should be sitting in company with
two members of high Russian society,
now OStraciZed by exile to Siberia, and
stranger still to partake of their intel
ligent conversation on topics of human
interest.
First of all / was interested to know
what sort of restrictions were placed
upon the exile's liberty. I found that
he was not allowed to leave the dis
trict in which he resided and that ev-
cry week he had to sign his name In
a book kept at the house Of the chief
'nachalink.' With that exception his
life was free. He had money, and he
could live as he liked and go where he
wished within that district, but he was
continually watched by spies, who
logged his footsteps wherever he went.
""He related to me how he had ac-
quired gold concessions on the Mon
golian frontier and was hoping to find
capital to loaf a syndicate for working
them next year. This was not at all
my idea Of the life Of a Siberian exile.
Instead of being made to work him.
self In the galleries Of the gold mines
till death released him from his chains,
the exile now floats mining syndicates."
