ST. LANDRY's TRAGEDY.

Daily States: The entire state has
been shocked by terrible tragedy IN
St. Landry parish, in which the sheriff
was instantly killed, one deputy NOR
tally wounded and two others seri-
ously injured in an encounter with a
desperate criminal at Mallet Woods,
when the sheriff and posse attempted
to arrest him. 1t is another one OF
hose occurrences which demonstrat
the uncertainty of life and the neces-
sity of a great state protecting the
lives of her citizens so far as within
her power against the operations of
such desperadoes.
Gov. Pleasant has gone to Opelou-
sas to attend the funeral of Sheriff
Marion L. Swords, killed while in the
service of his parish and state, and
it is his intention Of offering a re-
ward on behalf of the state for the
apprehension Of the assassin, and any
others that may have been a party
to the crime.
The murderer in this case was a
fugitive from justice at the time, h
having shot and killed a man in Jen-
nings, La. This phase of this deplor
able affair, emphasizes the necessity
of a more rigid handling and guard
ing of desperate characters with which
the parishes and state must deal. 1t
has become a populI thing for citi-
zens generally to seek the release of
criminals, murderers and prisoners
almost Unfortunately, either through
the parole or by pardon, after they
have served but short portion of
their sentences. The public, as a rule,

Blood, Skin Troubles Vanish.

Scrofula eruptions on the face and

perfect if they were not present
This disease shows itself in other
ways, as punches in the neck, inflam-
ed eyelids, sore ears, wasting of the
muscles, form of dyspepsia, and gen.
eral debility.
Ask your druggist for Hoods Sar-
saparilla. This great medicine com
pletely eradicates scrofula 1t puri-
flies and enriches the blood, removes
humors, and builds up the whole sys-
tenn. 1t embodies the careful training,
experience, and skill of Mr.. Hood, a
pharmacist for fifty years, in its
quality and power to cure.
Scrofula is either inherited or ac-
quired. Better be sure you are quite
free from 1t. Get Hoods Sarsaparilla
and begin taking it today.-adv.

Physicians and chemists assert that
this is very largely used for increasing
the weight and improving the nervous

assimilation and absorption. The food

treatment is regularly used for several
months. Most physicians and apothe-

packages.-Adv.
