BAYOU CHICOT

AS it has been some time since W,
have been in print we will md ,awp.
Ito give the many readers of tn
Clarion an idea of what is goias ,
in L%ouisiana's watermelon country
DR.. J. A. Haas, his secretary Alles
Dezauche and Senator Leon Haas
together with Soyerigns T. T. Ortagt
of Vile Plat and James Going o:
Washington, were in Bayou Chico
Sunday.
Senator Haas delivered u beauti-
full Grafton at the unwilling Of til.
monument, erected in honor of JohI
Russell, by the Woodmlan OF the
World, at Turky Greek, where
four OF five hundred people assem-
bled to witness the ceremony.
The well-known driIief, Mr.. Chap
man, is tagging here and if he can
meet with the right kind Of en-
enlargement he will drill for oil
around Baynu Chicot at an early
date.
Should Me-. J.. G. Lawler consent
to run for Commissioner Of Agri-
Fculture he will get a large vote
here, being identified with farming
and agriculture more or less for
twenty years.
The poem "Oh, why should the
spirit of mortal be prnud" was
tbeautifulll rendered at the grave Of
John Russell Sunday evening and
was listened to with much attention
by the large crowd present.
H. L. Erich will leave Thursday
on a visi t to his daughter, Miss
Susie at Mansfield, for two or three
days.
Eyangeline, just at present, is
quiet as regards to politics, al
though as we have three candidates
in the field for coroner, those being
Drs. Littell, Dossmann and Milburn.
Sheriff Fontenot is out for ~re-elec-
ton and Vile Plates brilliant lit
tie lawyer, Hon. ]. H. Dore, is a can
didate for the legislature.
While it is very pleasant for Ruff
Pleasant to run for Governor we
are inclined to feel otherwise and
think that Barrett will be the
candidate.
DR.. inc. Haas went to Bunkie
Sunday by way of Chicot, Erich,
Jr, accompanying him from here.
We have had no ram in five or
six weeks and farmers are getting
very down-hearted over it. All
farming here is very backward

PURSE SNATCHER
IS BEING SOUGHT
WHITE LADY WAS SURPRISED
WHEN NEGRO, WHOM SHE
MINUTELY DESCRIBED, MADE
GRAB FOR HER POCKETBOOK.

For the past several days the po-
lice department has been on the
lookout for negro described by Mrs.
G. w. Upp, who stated that while on
East Gonzalez street last Friday, she
was much shocked when the young
negro attempted to snatch the pocket
book which she carried, and which the
negro had evidently believed contain
ed some considerable cash. The ne
gro will be recognized if found, and
will be prosecuted to the limit of the
law.
This is the first report of any at
tempt in this direction on the part of
shiftless negroes trying to get purses
in his manner, or at least this is the
first and only report of the kind of
which the police have record of, but
numerous cases of petty stealing have
been reported, on which some of the
officers have been working with some
success for the past several days,
landing one man or boy after the
other behind the bars.

and purpose.
In the spring Of 1889 a letter from
one OF the most respected and trust
ed Of his ofhcers had intimated to
Washington the Willingness of the
army to make him king, master of the
country, dictator-anything he would
in order that the futile government Of
a group Of petty republics might give
place at least to order and efficiency.
Washington's reply had run hot in
every sentence with scornful indigna-
ton that any one should dare to deem
him capable of proving himself a
traitor and an adventurer; but 1t had
been reported from his camp ere the
year ended that he was steadily los
ing his hold upon the affection of the
army by the harshness with which
he acted against everything that look
er like a breach either of law or Of
discipline in bringing the army's
claims to the attention of the Con-
gress or of the States.
In the spring of 1883 there was a
movement among his officers to force
their claims upon the Congress which
II required every gift of wise control
and patient persuasion he was master
of to hold back from 1awlessness and
open disloyalty.
1t was with no small sense of re-
lief, therefore, that the country wit
messed at last the peaceful disband-
ment of the troops November 8, 1889.
The Congress had, happily, in the end
been able to satisfy them, at any rate
in part, in the matter of their pay;
and had not waited even for the
evacuation of New York by the Brit
jsh November e. 1881 TO get them
safely dispersed to their homes
The army disbanded and peace
made, the chief business of the Con-
federation seemed concluded.

sanction to the familiar functions

Savannah Now Working
For Better Prices.

II Is noticeable now that prach-
caI17 IS per cent Of the crop has been
marketed, the Savannah interests are
endeavoring to force the naval stores
market 10 higher prices. Leading in
this movement is the Savannah Morn

better prices 50 that the producer

Thig effort on the part Of Savan-

but It is q pity that some movement
Of this nature had not been started
along last spring or summer, before
over three-fourths Of the years pro-
duction had been sold, as Is the case
today. Remember prices could have
been obtained all this season if the
childish policy Of selling out each day
Rad not been adopted by the Savan-
nah factors, and then in the face Of a
crop known FOR months by all well
posted dealers to be far below the
worlds requirements, even during

Good and i'll contend mildly today,

Although Jupiter is in beneic aspect
Saturn changes from fair to evil
sway.
This may be trying and exhaust
ing rule for elderly persons, and care
should be taken to guard against ac-
cidents and illnesses.
The sway is forbiddine for mines
and minerals. Speculation, which is
likely to be exceedingly alluring,
probably will be unlucky.
Under this government of the stars
it is wise to delay any large plans
or enterprises. Philanthropic move
ments and charitable ventures are
not well directed.
1t is prognosticated that much suf-
fering among the poor will call for
organized relief along the lines, the
coming winter.
Jupiter gives announcement to
financiers, bankers and lawyers to-
day. Great gains attended by extra
ordinary risks are indicated.
Ministers and reformers have a
sign held to foreshadow extraordi.
nary activity. Agitation that will
arouse widespread discussion is
prophesied.

SAILOR LIBELs SHIP
ACCOUNT OF INJURY
APPRENTICE ABOARD BELGIAN
STEAMER LIEGEOISE MAKES
CLAIM AGAINST THE VESSEL
WHICH HAD CLEARED.

Just about time that the Belgian
steamship Liegeoise was ready to cast
off lines Saturday afternoon and
move to either the stream or to the
coal chutes for a supply of bunker,
a deputy from the United States mar
shal's Office showed up and attached
the vessel, mailing the document on
the mast of the steamer. This an
nounced that claim for the sum of
$4,000 had been made against the YES
sci, and that until she gave bond for
sum satisfactory to the court, she
would remain in the custody Of the
United States marshal.
The man who makes claim for
personal injuries said to have been
sustained aboard the vessel is young
seaman named RAIDER, who halls from
New York, whence the ship came TO
Pensacola. Young RAIDER, it was al
legged, while in Jersey City, N. j.,
Some weeks ago had the misfortune
to lose a portion of his toes when a
railroad train nipped them off. He
managed to sign aboard the steamer,
however, and came to Pensacola
on her. While aboard the vessel and
going about some duties few days
ago, it was claimed, a coil of wire
fell on the injured foot, and caused
him great pain and otherwise incon-
venienced him. That was the alleged
cause of the libel which was sworn
out against the vessel yesterday.
The Liegeoise cleared yesterday
for Queenstown, Ireland, for orders
as to her final destination.

Of rugs and hangings. A smooth,
bare floor is great deal better, for
it doesn't collect and hold dirt and
it can be wiped up often and thor
oughly.
Don't let the rooms become too
warm and the air impure. More colds
are caught from impure air than from
drafts.
Don't pile on too many coverings
when you sleep. Too many is a lot
worse than not enough.
Don't eat too much, no matter how
good it is. The more the stomach is
taxed beyond its normal capacity, the
sooner it wears out and brings on
the infirmities of old age, and in adj
vanced years digestion usually is
taxed to compensate for the poorer
masticating process.
The doctors are constantly discover
ing new don'ts, which some of them
declare are essential if we are to be
normally healthful and strong. We
occasionally are doubtful about some
of them, at least so far as a personal
application is concerned, but each of
us by the time we have reached adult
years should have a pretty careful
inventory of our physical capacities.
If then we have good sense and suf-
icient moral courage to regulate our
lives by these known limitations, we
have at least fair chance to live as
long as we can be of any particular
use to the time when we might be-
come nuisances to the world in gen
eral and to the family in particular.
