The contract calls for the completion of the building by October, 1905. The Mammoth and the Mosquito Whit has come to pass in thousands of years seems hardly credible. Primitive man, a weakling in comparison to modern man, was able to conquer the huge mon. sters of thousands of years ago, such as the Mammoth, and to-day they are dead forever; yet the mosquito and fly have never been conquered. It is now time for the scientist to evaise methods for kill ing the mnpsquito ~d fly, so that they will go to join the siioth and the monster lizards. The ia and flies are dan gerous enemies .nan because they spread contagion. ,The nmoSquito often carries the germ of malaria with his bite. The house fly preads germs of disease over our food. These bacterial germs, ever hunting for the weak spot, find a place in our blood, and then we suffer from grip, catarrh; con sumption, or malaria. Dr R. V Pierce, chief consulting physl eian to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N V., says : "There would be no grip epidemics, the germs of consumption, or malaria would find no place in the human economy, if the blood were pure, if the lungs, heart and other organs were fed on good blood. Poisons should not be allowed to accumulate in the body; to be safe it is best to take a gentle laxative at least once a week." Such a vegetable laxative as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets contains nothing which could harm the system. For putting the blood in order, and as a tissue-builder and tonic for those weakened by coughs, colds, catarrh, grip, nothing will build one up quicker than Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery This is a med. icine made entirely of roots and herbs, without the use of alcohol Dr Pierce's Medical Adviser is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of' mailing only. Send 21 one-cent stamps for paper covered, or 3t stamps for cloth binding, to Dr. . V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. THE OFFICE BOY WANTS TO KNOW If the Boss sacrificed his beard and mustachios just to put a new face on the congressional contest in the sixth district? If he intends to try to go through the district incognito? Whether he thinks if the people don't recognize him they'll give him more votes? If Old Reliable Vic Templet didn't get the proposition reversed when he said, ."Beg pardon, I know your face, but didn't catch the name"? If seeing the face wasn't what made him fail to hear the name? ff the name of "Old Boss Bentley" wasn't quite as familiar as ever, but the rejuvenated whiskerless features of the dapper young than put Vic on the guessing bench? Why the, junior editors let-up sb suddenly in their derisive denuncia tion of the senior's cutting up-or cut ing off? If in one case it was because the house servant exclaimed, "Miss Ella, you sho'ly favor yo' pa"?-and If in the other it was due to Col. Colwell's discerning declaration that "The Boss looks like Donnaud now, only he's got him beat a mile"? If it won't be the general judgment that The Chief has been materially improved by the loss of its Vitzkers? Why the police jury "adopted" the parish treasurer? What they are going to do with him? If it wouldn't have been much sampler to have merely elected the officer? Why in the world it doesn't rain some? If it isn't a shame for the weather man to treat us the way he's been do ing the past two weeks? If you've noticed how pert the rub ber brigade are looking these days? Why it is they begin to sit up and take notice as soon as tie crossings become muddy? If "the man behind" hasn't got a cinch just about now? If you've noticed that the cane -planters are wearing a smile that is child-like and bland, while the cotton farmers look as if they had just swallowed a mouthful of bum booze? What the judge was whistling for the other night? If he lost his dog?-or Was he trying to attract the atten ttionpf a friend? If he didni't waste his whistle on the. opera house square at all events? Which of the local justice dispensers is going to think that the foregoing questions apply to him? If it isn't dollars to doughnuts that the whole shooting match will begin formulating explanations as to why they whistled? If you knew that fashion's latest dictum in regard to women smoking cigarettes has been adopted in Donald sonville? How the girls on the wharf the ether night enjoyed the experience? Why they don't smoke up and do their puffing in public? What made them fear that the Of fice Boy would get next to the little seance? If they were ashamed of themselves? -or If their secretiveness was merely due to the fact that they do not wish the custom to become vulgarly popu lar?. Who furnished the smokes? If the shake-up in local newspaper circles the past week wasn't shaking some? Why our other little neighbor doesn't get in the game and have a housecleaning? If it isn't about time for people to stop calling him hard names? If the fair young lady who said the Office Boy is either Gee Dee or 'Tole didn't go the limit? If it isn't a toss-up as to which of the two he'd rather be thought to be? What happened to Albert on the hay ride? if he performed the Sir Walter Raleigh stunt of spreading his clothes in the bottom of the wagon for some local queen to stand on? If the appearance of the back of his coat didn't convey that impression? What made Cushion Carrom feel so bad last Monday? If it could possibly have been the result of his hilarity at the picnic the previous day? What made him so hilarious, any way? It it was the influence of the sun shine and the green fields. of the country ?-or Were his high spirits due to moon shine and the corn fields of Kentucky? How he happened to get such an early start? If it isn't a wise man who knows when he is alone--in Donaldsonville? How in the world the trio of round ers who discussed the question of ir rigation on. the corner during the early hours of the morning could be expected to know that somebody was awake across the street? What the bunch felt like when their words were repeated to them verbatim next day? If they had known at the time of the wish expressed by one of the listeners, wouldn't they have been delighted to deliver the goods? Why they weren't told of it at the phsychological moment? What the grand jurors are having so much fun over? If it isn't short of them not to let anyone else in on the joke? Why some of the witnesses come out of the jury room looking so flurried? If there won't be something stirring when the august body submits its final report? THE WORLD'S NEWS. Flashes of the Telegraph Wires From Near and Far. Frightful Railroad Wreck in Colorado.

The cause of the accident was the weaken ing of the bridge by recent heavy rains, which swelled the stream to several times its normal size.
