A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that which it is unable to do for itself, even when but slightly disordered or overloaded. Kodol supplies the natural juices of digestion and does the work of the stomach, relaxing the nervous tension, while the inflamed muscles of that organ are allowed to rest and heal. Kodol digests what you eat and enables the stomach and digestive organs to transform all food into rich red blood. Long’s Drug Store.

JUDGE THOMPSON’S TRIP.

Seen in New Orleans. Dear Journal— We have been in this city five days and will note a few matters of some interest. The finest street car service we have observed begins and ends in Canal street as the main artery. There are belt lines with one fare giving two miles of new route for a nickle. The river is deep and tranquil. It furnishes a land locked harbor, the best and largest on the gulf coast. The depth of water, however, at the mouth is only twentythree feet and the ocean steamer carrying a full cargo requires 28 feet. The deepening of the southwest pass is as important to New Orleans as the blasting of Hell Gate was to New York. Its importance as a port of commerce will be greatly enhanced when the channel is deepened and the northwest is connected directly by trunk lines of railroad for St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver. The Frisco is building this way and the Santa Fe is looking out a line. The points of interest are the parks and cemeteries. The city park covers the old dueling ground. It contains the largest live oaks we ever saw. The Audubon Parks includes a half section and is a thing of beauty. The graves are mostly above ground in mausoleums. These give the real appearance of a city of the dead to the cemeteries. We visited these on Sunday afternoon. Five burial services were in progress. They are located on the Jackson battle field of January 8, 1815. We noted mounments to Jackson, Lee and others less noted. Across from Audubon park is Toulane college. At one time the Louisiana lottery was the most money coining concern and Howard, the president, is remembered by a library, hall and avenue. The National building has been very expensive and like New York’s state house remains in a state of chronic repair. The foundation of buildings here rests on pile driven to a depth of fifty feet. The sewerage is still largely above ground, flowing into Lake Pontchartrain. On this body of water is the Coney Island of the city in summer. It is not easy to tell whether this city will ever grow and retain its position as the metropolis of the south as it stands today. In Texas several ports are seeking the export trade west of the river. Gulf port in Mississippi, Mobile, in Alabama and Pensacola, Florida, are trying to keep up competition. There are many features that are novel to visitors. The old French and Spanish architecture predominate in many sections of the city. The new streets are wide. They have a paved way at either edge. The street cars are in the center between rows of trees. The old streets in all the early cities are mere lanes, narrow and crooked. One act of the city government has brought manufacturers a freedom from taxation until 1910. That is not a bad way to aid these necessary adjuncts to employment. S. P. Thompson. New Orleans, January 13, 1903.

From Bay St. Louis.

Dear Journal: —The level prairie from the limits of the Crecent City for forty-five miles is fit only for those who hunt fish or shuck oysters. A cannery at “Look Out” marks the state line. There is strong talk of making a levee to bar the salt water and prepare this waste for rice culture. Our little muskrat is the chief obstacle. While his antidote, the alligator, is hunted, the muskrat multiplies, and digs through the banks and fills the irrigating ditches. We know to some extent how the same little animals harm our open and c ered d'ches in >ur efforts to add value to our swamps. The towns along the Mississippi Sound are summer resorts for the south and to some extent winter resorts for the north. This plaoe is the county seat of Hancock county, the southwest part of the state, and is on the first high land east of New Orleans. It consists of a row of houses next to the beach. From each extends a board walk on piles out to low tide with a bathing house there for use in summer. Many of the bouses are so called hotels that advertize baths. They are in the surf at the end of a long walk on stilts some ten feet above the beach at low and six feet at high tide. The street is paved with oyster shells and extends along the beach some twelve miles from Look Out to the next oyster mill some three miles east of our point of observation. In

the Sound a fleet of boats are busy raking the bottom for oysters. As no pains are taken to care for the bivalves they are usually captured young. The greater portion becomes the “coves” of commerce. The advertised plenitude of fish for the tourist to catch is all on paper. The country from these coast towns back is what is called sheep-skin land with us, towit: a tliincoat of mold over sand. While this land is not high priced by the acre, I regard it as productive for the agriculturist. My opportunity has not been very good to see but I have talked with the old settlers here. Farmers and dairymen on a large area might do well, and gardening on a small area w-11 fertilized might give results. The country is not made like the fat lands of Jasper. It will be the exception and not the rule for our farmers and stock men to be contented with results here. All localities have their attractions and their draw backs. I am wediled to old Jasper. S. P. Thompson. Bay St. Louis, Miss., January 19, 1903.

WHITECAPPING NEAR HOME.

Chalmers Father Whipped for Neglecting Family. Between twenty and thirty masked men went to the home of William Hileman, forty-five years old, in Chalmers, early Monday morning, and after enticing him to the door, pounced upon him and dragged him to a small wood near his home, where he was flogged until he pleaded for mercy. Hileman may have recognized some of the whitecaps, but has not filed any charges and no arrests have been made. The whitecapping was kept a secret until Tuesday. The whitecapping occurred shortly after midnight. A man called at the home of Hileman, on the outskirts of the town, and asked Hileman, who had been doing some butchering in White county, to come out and remove the hide from a dead horse. As Hileman stepped from his door he was seized by the stranger, and a dozen men immediately were upon him. He was hurried to a little wood about forty rods from the honse where he was severely whipped. A committee of the masked men stayed at the house to assure the frightened wife and children that no permanent injury would be done the man. After the whipping Hileman was ready to return to the house, and the crowd quietly dispersed. Hileman was accused of neglecting his family, which consists of his wife and four small daughters. He is said to have carried away fruit that had been canned by his wife and after selling it, spent the money for liquor. He is also said to have made the same disposition of potatoes and other articles that his wife had procured by washing. She has been the principal support of the family for some time.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul fly. Many people unacquainted with the geography of the West imagine that because the names “Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul” are used in the corporate title of the railway owning the Short Line between Chicago and Omaha, they must go via the cities of Milwaukee, St. Paul to reach their destination—and if it be Omaha or west thereof. This is a mistaken idea. On a map the line running directly east and west would look like this: Omaha Chicago There is nothing more simple than that, and it in less than 500 miles between Chicago and Omaha. Two through trains daily in each direction with the best Sleeping Car and Dining Car Service, and all regular travelers know and appreciate the merits of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway’s Short Line between the East and the West.

CARNEGIE IS GENEROUS.

Offers to Present Rensselaer witli a SIO,OOO Library Building. Andrew Carnegie, the who has given away thousands upoe thousands of dollars to various cities for the purpose of building public library buildings has offered to present the city of Ronsselaer with c SIO,OOO building upon certain conditions. For some time certain of our citiS" zeuß have been trying to get Me. Carnegie to recognize the clainwt oi our city, and‘at last they have boea successful us the following letter from his secretary will show. New York, Jan. 13, 1903. In respect to your communication Lu behalf of Rensselaer: If the city agrees, by resolution, to maintain a free public library at a cost of not less than SI,OOO per year, and provides n suitable site, Mr. Carnegie will be pleased to furnish ten thousand dollars to erect a free public library building for Rensselaer, Respectfully, James Bertram, Secretary. By this it will be seen that a site for the building will have to bo donated,, and SI,OOO raised each year thereafter to support the library. It's now up to the citizens ofouir little city to say whether thisdona*tion is desired or not. A special meeting of the directors of the Jasper Pnbllo Library was held Monday afternoon to consider Mr. Carnegie’s offer. The sentimeat, seemed to be unauimous in favor of accepting his gift and a resolution was adopted requesting the city council tolavy a tax sufficient to raise $1,001) per year for maintenance of the library. A committee consisting of Deloe Thompson, T. J. McCoy, Hev. 0. Dl Royse, J. J. Hunt and R. B. Porter was appointed to present the matter to the city council at the meeting of that body next Monday evening.
