Western Newspaper Onion News Service.


New OrleanS.-The Algiers shops OF
Norgan's Louisiana and Texas Rail-
road and Steamship Company are TO
be enlarged and developed into a plant
of considerable proportions, with many
added facilities and everything need
ed for the repair and reconstruction of
locomotives.
1t is understood that W. b. Scott,
president of the road, has been work
ing on the project for some time, con-
sidering New Orleans The most i'm
portant point on the system. He will
be ready to put through the big pro-
ject some time in the fall. More than
$3.50, 900 will be spent on the improve
ments.
1t is proposed to materially increase
the repair tracks in the Algiers yards,
ard to add to the equipment of the
shops the machinery necessary for the
building of locomotive boilers, and
making all repairs TO locomotives.
With the added equipment it will be
possible to entirely reconstruct loco
motives and furnish them Win any
needed part.
With the shops enlarged. and the
work of the plant practically trebled
the company will greatly increase its
force, and give employment to many
more men in all mechanical branches.
Just when the work is to start can
not be said at present, but all the pre-
liminaries have been completed, and
contracts for the machinery and new
buildings have may be awarded soon.
The improved shops at New Orleans
will relieve the congestion that often
occurs when work is pressing in the
shops at Marshall and Lafayette, and
will generally add to the facilities Of
the road.

NEW CURE FOR Badness

Yes, they say a new cure for badness has
been discovered in Boston, warranted to grow
hair on bone or whiskers on a cake Of Ice
So the man with a clearing on his pate will
come In for few more bromide joshes from
the gentlemen with incandescent imaginations
1t may serve to check the torrent to remark that
it is believed that the first cure for badness was
discovered in the early part Of the reign Of that
Pharaoh OF Egypt who was drowned while chas
ing Moses and Aaron on moving day for the
land OF Goshen. At any rate the Pharaoh was
bald and physicians Of his time peddled remedies
for badness. so there is a case Of circumstantal
evidence AS badness has persisted until this
date 1t Is to be presumed that some of these
badness cures have been bald fakes. The Bos
ton cure may be perfectly legitimate thing
able to do all that is claimed for it-but there
may be persons who will prefer badness to hair

BELIEVE PARDOU
WAS EXECUTED
WEALTHY RETIRED BUSINESS
MAN HAS DISAPPEARED
IN FRANCE.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
New Orleans.-Relatives of Jean
Pardon, a wealthy retired business
man of New Orleans, who recently
went TO France with his wife for a
visit, are terribly upset men, ally by
persistent rumorS that Pardon was
court -martialed and executed when he
attempted to leave the country imme-
diately following the call TO the colors
OF the reservists. The last letter re-
ceived from Pardon was dated Escout
par Escou, Bias Pyrenes, France. his
native home, July Il. Relatives here
have been unable to trace the source
of the reports that he was shot, nor
have they received any response to
messages of inquiry directed to rela-
tives of his in France.
Although Mr.. Pardon has lived in
New Orleans Is years, he did not be-
rome a naturaliZed citizen of this
country, and being only ~ years of
age, is subject 10 military service in
France under the mobilization order
recently issued. He married in this
city II years ago, his wife being a
daughter of the late John Rufin. a
dairyman. Pardon himself engaged in
the dairy business, but retired from ac-
tive business last year, having amass-
ed a fortune estimated at 100000 by
real estate investments in the vicinity
of Carrollton avenue and Apricot
street.
One rumor in circulation was to the
effect that after being notified that he
must respond TO the call of the reserv-
lists to arms he attempted to leave
France by taking steamer at Bayonne,
where French soldiers arrested him.
This report said that he was executed
the same day after facing a drum-head
court-martial. Another rumor was
that after the reservists were called
to arms he left Escout at night and
tried to make his way to the Spanish
border when guards arrested him, his
court-martial and execution following
the next day.
A sister, four brothers-in-law and a
nephew living in New Orleans have
made every possible effort to disprove
or verify these reports. but each of
them admitted Friday they had found
it impossible to locate any person who
had received direct news from any of
Pardou's relatives in France or from
anyone else regarding Pardon.
