C~ra ; LOUISIANA STATE NEWS Bii Agitating a New Capitol Building. In view of the fact that the ques tion of a new Statehouse is likely to be an issue in Louisiana politics for the next several years, the follow ing statement by ('ol. C'. Harrison Parker, president of the State board of control of the Louisiana peniten tiary, will be read with interest: The time is rapidly approaching when the State of Louisiana will be compelled to build a new statelouse. It is sadly needed now. There is no room in the present building to accom modate the various departments of the government. The rapidly increasing revenues and prosperity of the State demand that something must be done in that direction. The State peniten tiary is now provided for on a self sustaining basis. The new Insane Asylum is built, and '!ouisiana is well able to put up a suitable building at the capital. Now, it seems to me, that Baton Rouge, in her own interest, ought to make a liberal offer to the State in be half of such a building. The parish contemplates building a new court house, which would involve an outlay of probably $100,000. Instead of doing this, let Baton Rouge, city and parish. purchase, say 80 or 100 acres of land on the edge of the city, offer this to the State of Louisiana, with an addi tional bonus in money equal to $150.. 000 to erect a statehouse. The old fair grounds would be a beautiful sight for a fine building, and a park laid out around the same would help embellish the city. No fine building today ought to be put in any city or town on a block or two of ground. When the now capitol should be complete the State could turn over the old capi tol to the city of Baton Rouge as a city hall or as a courthouse. Within the basement of the same a jail can be constructed at a very little cost. which would be superior to any in Louisiana; the senate chamber would make a fine courtroom and the house of representatives' hail would make a ine public assembly hall. This build ing then could accommodate all the city and parish omces, as well as a court. and would answer this purpose for the next century. The present courthouse could be re modeled and made a public school. Raton Rouge would thus secure a fne courthouse, jail and quarters for all city oeeras, and a public school build ing at a very moderate cost. The new railroads coming into Baton Rouge are bound to add to its importance and promote its commer tal eand industrial growth. The erec tion of a fine capitol building would add to its attractiveness, to say noth ang of the direct advantages to come frem the employment of a large num ber of people in. the erection of the builEa. Skilled workmen employed to carry on this work would add to the populato and expend their earnings argely. in the city. A new capitol building cannot be put up for less than $1,000,000, and certainly with the ex peaditure of this sum it would be bound to benefit Baton Rouge exten sively, even if bserpeople did not have a smgle contract in connection with the same."

The preparatio:s i,r the meeting are now being made in Haton Rouge and in Shrevep.rw. and everything is being done that i' pos sible to make the gathering a nota ble one and surpassing in every re spect any previous meeting of this character.

Generally Satisfactory. New York, Feb. 1I.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: Some disturbance has been caused by the elements, but business conditions are otherwise unusually satisfactory for the season. Distribution of mer chandise is of liberal proportions, and the new year is fulfilling sanguine ex Iectations. Low temperature and storms interrupted trafic to some ex tent, but accelerated business in heavy wearing apparel, overshoes and fuel. Manufacturing is still the best feature, especially in the various departments of the iron and steel industry. Some conversatism is noted in the placing of advance orders, but this is a favorable symptom. indicating the absence of reckless operations that produce inflated prices and ultimately cause excessive accumulation of stocks, followed by the inevitable period of re trenchment. A DOMICILIARY VISIT The Residence of M. Wltte, Russia's Great Fianceler, Searched by St. Peteraburg Pollee. London. Feb. 11.-The correspondent at St. Petersburg of the Daily Mail sends to that paper the report that the first act of the new minister of the interior, M. Bouligan, on arriving in St. Petersburg on Friday, was to have the residence of M. Witte, presi dcnt of the council of the empire, searched by the police, who removed a mass of documents for examination. I. Witte was at home at the time, and the police made a systematic and thor ough examination of all the private papers in the house. The correspond ent adds that when M. Von Plehve was assassinated he was carrying an order to the emperor for his signature, au thorizing just such a perquisition for M. Witte's papers. It looks, there fore, the correspondent says, as though the new interior administration is be ginning just where Von Plehve left off. BUY NO MORE KANSAS OIL The Standard Oil Co. Retallatlla fer Unfavorable Legislatiomn l the Swanewer State. Chanute, Kas., Feb. 11.-The Prairie Oil & Gas Co. (the Kansas name for Standard Oil Co.) has posted a notice that it would purchase no more Ka, sas oil. The Kansas City refinery 1t to get its supply from the territory field and the Neodoesh refinery is to shut down. Until it does shut down the territory field will supply the Neo dosha refinery also. All the guagers have been laid off. All the plants at Chanute will shut down indefinitely. Hundreds of met will be thrown out of work. but the ope on will take care of them. The operators say that they will put still more energy into the fight for state legislation as a result ao the shut down.

IN THE TRUCK GARDEN. Lettee a Good Seller and Does Noe Require Very luth .erk After Prepartteon. We are always glad when the time oznes to plant our first need. We want to know that something is growing. If we can ever get our garden as we are sow planning, and have something growing the year round, then indeed "our summer will last all the year." We ara glad that we can plant two vegetables even in January. Have just nuished reading the Government Bul letin on the American Varieties of Lettuce. There are listed over three hundred varieties, but in reality there are over one hundred distinct varieties. For ordinary use, we may divide them into three classes. The large beaded or cabbage, the curley and the butter. Of the first class, we would recommend planting the Hanson. Big Boston and New York; of the curley-" Early Curled Simpson; of the butter, California, Cream Butter, Philadelphia Butter and Virginia Solid Headed. Fix up your hot-beds and cold-frames and plant your lettuce right away. It is such a healthy salad and comes when we relish something green so much, after our winter fats and salads. Let tuce is a good seller. It matures in 89( or 90 days and should always be planted in hot-beds or very rich soil. if it is not given every opportunity to get its proper growth within the time of maturing it will run up to seed and get bitter. It does not require very much work after proper preparation, as it is a cold weather plant. and thrives best in early spring or late fall. Let us plant every seed we can that will grow something to eat. Radishes Easily Grow.. This is one of the nicest, quick est and most easily grown of all our vegetables. A bed 6x12 will keep an average family supplied all the year, if kept sown in rotati.n. They can be grown in six weeks under favorabli conditions. For the earliest, we rec ommend Freach Breakfast and Scarlet Globe. For succession, the Long Scar let. The Long Scarlet does not be come pithy so quick and really have more in them. The white varieties are as good to eat, but don't sell so well as the red ones. You can sow your seed in three or four-inch rows put ting one to two seeds every two inches apart. Then keep your bed clean sad moist, and you will have all you want. It is essential to keep them damp. If the soil Is allowed to become `dry they lose their crispness and become pithy. ItWsh Potatmes and Onions. We have many inquiries about I.~sh potatoes and onions; and they- are two crops that can not well be over done. We are preparing an article on each for February 1, lassue. Also we are getting a successful grower to write an article for the same issue, on all the Important crops we want, not only one competent person's views or ex perlence, but many, so that our read ers can choose and modify to suit themselves.
