Beaumont, Texas, May 90
Two people are reported to have
been badly hurt in wreck in which
four cars Of Southern Pacific pas
senger train No. 7 westbound and
due here at 1852 p. M, left the track
about three miles east of VintOn.
The speed at which the train was 60
ing resulted in the stripping of the
wheels from the coaches. The
coaches were ditched.
The names of the persons hurt,
who were man and a woman, and
the cause Of the wreck were not OBJ
tanned, as only a meagre report was
made to Beaumont. However, it was
stated that there was no loss of life.
Doctors from Vinton hurried out to
be of service to the passengers.
A train was made up here to give
local service to Edgerly, and a tenn
porary track is being built around
the wreckage. Wreckers went to the
scene from Lafayette, La. The
wreck occurred about $3.50 o'clock.

LOUISIANA PROHIBLTLONISTS TO
CARRY ON FIGHT UNTIL VICTORIOUS

Baton Rouge, May 24.-After a
strenuous and dramatic week, the
Louisiana Legislature adjourned to-
day noon until Monday night at s
o'clock, with 90 bills in house and Ga
in the senate.
Prohibition ratification was ns-
posed of failing to pass the senate
by tie of 20 to 20. This was the
outstanding feature Of the week.
Further consideration by the drys to-
day resulted in agreeing upon pro-
gram not to attempt further effort
to pass ratification at this session.
All is off and all prohibition legisla-
ton will be held in allegiance except
the Cooper 25-mile zone bill for
Camp Beauregard, which will be
pushed as a war measure. Even the
Fields dry shipping bill must take its
chances, along with other legislation,
But, the dIys say there is to be &
reckoning and that the fight has just
begun. A committee headed by De-
los R. johnson waited on Governor
Pleasant and he said to them in eff
feet:

promised the committee that he
would issue a proclamation calling a
special election in the Twenty-sev-
enth senatorial district, to elect a
successor to S. R. Harper, resigned.

of the Senate and n. F. Montet of the

A thrilling romance with many
unexpected developments is the new
picture in which Carlyle Blackwell
and Evelyn Greeley are the inter-
esting stars. This picture bears the
title of 'His Royal Highness" and
it is a World Picture Brady Made. 1t
will be the attraction at the audi
forum Thursday, June 9Th.
Mr.. Blackwell appears in this pro-
duction in the role of Jack Christie,
an etnerprising young American, who
through a strange set of circum-
stances becomes the king Of small
European monarchy. There his pep,
enthusiasm and brains count heavily
in saving the kingdom from a disas-
trous war and in regenerating the
people from their stagnancy. Miss
Greeley appears as the Princess Di-
ana of Terresta, neighboring coun-
try. The princess and Jack have
met under peculiar circumstances in
America, where the princess was
travelling incognito. When they
meet again in Europe, Jack becomes
enamored of her.

In every case, the specialists say,

the cattle more expensive feeds. The

It is a good farm practice, the
specialists say, to put more acreage

under ordinary conditions will be
necessary to fill the silo. Dry wealth.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS

Frequent showers during the
week, with plenty of warm sun
shine have improved the crop outlook
in all lines.
Cotton which has Jagged on ac-
count of the continued cool weather
has made a wonderful growth dur
ing this week. Corn has done well
throughout, except in instances
where the bugs have worked on
patches, and roasting ears will be
on the market in a short time.
The rice crop is promising indeed,
although the dry weather has made
it hard for farmers to keep suffici-
ent water in the fields.
On the whole the crop outlook is
entirely satisfactory.
