HEBERT, 9 At Walling's Lid Stand, ; Welsh, La. W. C. T. U. COLUMN. The Louisiana White Iibboner, of ficial organ of the Louisiana W. ('C. T. U., a neat little three column, four page paper, makes its first apl)ear ance this month, edited by Mrs. Alice Carey McKinney, at Monroe, La., Mrs. Gonzales of Jennings and Mrs. Lilly Arant of Monroe, being associ ate editors. It was instituted during the state convention and started out with forty eight subscribers right there, the price b)eitz twenty-tive cents a year. It contains a number of good things, among them being a splendid letter from State President, Mrs. Nellie O' Beirne, report of state convention, Question B3ox, by Mrs. Gonzales and a letter from Mrs. N. E. Olliver, treas urer. A report of the Gospel Temperance service held in Welsh, was given by our Welsh reporter and extracts from 11ev. Houck's address given. The editor's salutatory and all other I matter is bright and spicy and the White iilbboner with Mrs. MlcKinney as editor will surely tourtish. aMrs. Anna R. Sinmmons, who was in attendance at the Louisiana State convention, held in Lake ('harles the fore part of May, and whom miany of our people had the pleasure of hearing give several line add,'esses, has silent eight weeks of service in N lraka. I ight new lnionns have resulntd and a quickened pulse has been given to the temperance cause ill scOles of places. Mrs. Simllllons' work is characterized by strength and spiiti uality. Mrs. Callie H. lione, who, lectured tihrolugiloutl the south some tyro years aco \\ ith tilciih succo ., and \\tho has been afield almost constantly during the past year, is now ill. and friends and ohi. sicians orter :in indelinite rest.

StC \, s ,f tlhe Southwestern Louisiana l ,'astrial Institute, has ann(unced to the students that hereafter the use of tabacco on or off the grournds I\ill be strictly i)rohibited.-Louisiana White Ribboner. Washington, 1). ('.. July 7.-Con gress has again adjourned and this is what it did do and did not do in tenm porance matters: 1. t paasped the denatIireil alcohol bill alir one of the tiereest struggles of the session. This bill allows alco hol tax tree tdhat has been chemically treated ilnd er l'tvelrnment souplrv'ision so as to make it undrinkable. In this way, the manufacturing and industrial uses of alcohol are segregated from the rae beverage tePtiic, thus enabline& the latter to he att:l eiled without attacking these legitimia te andi useful industries. 2. It passed the Statehtcd tliil, car rying \\with in c. npilete Itrohibition for the Indian Territory :ltd that lpart of Oklahoma now covired by I ndian res ervations. i'his lerioti xttn ids for a iperiod of twenty-onle years and there after until the peolple change the con stitution. 3:; Another important Indian measure was a clause in the Indian applrolpria lion bill, setting aside $25,000 to pro secute and aid in the suppression of tile liquor traffic among Indians. This sum is to be expended under the di rection of the Interior Department and $15,000 of it is to be expended in the Indian territory and Oklahoma. For many years the Indian Bureau has asked for an appropriation of $10,000 for this purpose but the money was never allowed byCongress. This year the samne fate was imminent, but the matter was taken up by Rev. E. M. Sweet, Jr. and E. C. Dinwiddie, with the result thatthe amount asked for was increased to $25,000 and the money appropriated. 4. The Humphreys bill finally passed. This bill merely provides that collectors of internal revenue shall provides certified lists of people who pay government retail liquor li cences to any one who will pay one dollar per hundred names for copying them. This will be useful in law-en. torcement matters and reverses the previous attitude of the Treasury de partment, which has heretofore adopt ed the policy of refusing to give out information. Besides this, a favorable report was secured on the Terril bill which will come up for passage early next ses sion. This bill prohibits the liquor traffic from all government buildings, parks, reservations and ships. This bill will probably pass at the next session.

The move to form protective leagues in Louisiana for the purpose of pre senting a solid front to the move now being made to deprive holders of le. gitimate land titles entered with Mlc Enery script and with Confederatel and warrants is a good one and it should receive the hearty support of every body, whether they are directly affect ed or not. The movement should take the form of a great popular uprising to uphold the honor of the state and to show the world that Louisiana peo pie as a whole, do not countenance a move so shameful as that contemplat ed against a considerable portion of our people. If successful, it will ar rest the development of the common wealth as surely as it would if the state had legalized highway robbery and had placed a premium on larceny. People all over the country are watch ing this matter. In financial circles it is a subcect of comment, and every where the people are speculating as to the outcome. If is immensely import ant to every resident of Louisiaua, that a vigorous and effective protest be made against a move which prac tically means repudiation, and for this reason the plan to form a Lprotec tive league should have the hearty moral support of everybody. This paper sees no reason why those not directly affected should not become members of such a leaguce and make it what it ought to ie, a strong popular protest.- Crowley Signal.

In an address oni We(ldesIVay of last Sctek, beforo the retail merchlants of Miss" uiri, at Jlefertsoll City. (Governor Floik had this to say about the "mail order citizen." It will he observed that he also gives some pertineat ad vice to the home imer'chant: ",We ae lare iotl of our splendid cit ies and we want them to increase in wealth anid population and we also want our country towns to grow. We wish the city merchants to build up, but we also desire the country iner clia:its to prosper. I do not believe in the mail ornhder citizen. If a place is good eno!gh for a man to live in and make his nmioney in. it is good enough for him to spend his money in. No me Illchant can succeed without advertising in one way or another.

A positive cure rfor constipation, Dys pepsia and all liver complaints. Mrs. F--.Ft. Worth. Texas, writes: The grand jury which closed a short session Tuesday evening, found seven true bills and seven not true. They called especial attention to complaints made by people living along canals and on roads bordered by flooded fields, of bad conditions of the roads, caused by allowing so much water to escape, thus flooding the public high ways and making them practically im passable. Complaint was also made of the bad conditions of oridges and of the approaches to bridges crossing canals. The grand jury advised the police jury to instruct all road over seers in canal districts to notify the canal men and individuals that if these conditions are not repaired at once the district attorney will be notified to bring action against them.
