been in any infected place withiu
ten days. On account of the delay

Dr Sylvester's Hoof Oil has no equal

Dr. Thomas VV. Evans the great
American dentist died in Paris
last Monday. For a number of
years Dr. Evans has lived in Paris
and has dono more than any other
dentist in putting "crown heads"
iu the month of crown heads. Ile
Was the first dentist to introduce
in Europe gold filling for teeth.
After the battle of Sedan Doctor
Evans brought himself into prom
inence by assisting the Empress
Eugenie to escapèfrom Paris. He
leaves a fortune estimated at from
$25,000,000 to $35,000,000.
Minnie'Wallace Walkup is again
before the public. Shortly after the
close of tUe New Orleans Exposi
tion Minnie Wallace, a girl 15
years old was married to a Mr.
Walkup, Mayor of Emporia Kau.
Walkup was 60 years old and very
wealthy. He died under suspicious
circumstances in 1885 and bis
young wife was accused of murder
ing him. Although a post mortem
revealed the fact that Walkup's
death was caused by arsenic poison,
Minnie was acquitted. Last Sep
tember Minnie was married in
Milwaukee to a millionaire banker
Dy the name of John B. Ketcham.
A few days ago Ketcham died
suddenly; but no trace of any kiud
of poison was found, aud i t is prob
able that Minnie will get posses
sion of her husband's property
Vitlued at $500,000.
The deadly jack-tlie-yellow
killer came last Thursday
morning.
Tuesday, when Kerkam said
that a cold wave would soon be
here people laughed for that day,
at 12 o'clock, the thermometer reg
istered 85 degrees in the shade.
But Kerkam knew what be was
talking about for about 3 p. m.,
the mercury plunged downward,
a l.a Texas blizzard, and in six
bours there was a fall in the tern
perature of 27 degrees. Wednesday
the wind died out and Thursday
morning a heavy white frost cov
ered the earth.
Yellow fever germs must have
turned up their toes aud died
without offering any resistance.
The cold spell has removed entire
ly all danger of a further spread
of the lever this year. There no
doubt will be occasional cases re
corded in the infected places until
January; but there is absolutely
uo danger of a spread until warm
weather of spring comes.
This cold spell will certainly
hasten the removing of quarantine
restrictions against all points.
Most of the parishes have already
removed quarantine against west
ern points, aud we learn that it
was decided by the health officers
ol different parishes who met in
Lafayette last Wednesday to do
away with all quarantine except
that ou household goods on the
25th of this month.
In addition to my samples of

Aij attempt to jump, a slip
of loot, and a horribly
nmngied boy.
An early morning accident
at the switch table on the
Honma Branch R. K.
near Houma.
It was a case similar to that of
the pitcher that went to the well
once too often; only it was an un
fortunate boy that rode ou the
cow-catcher once too often. In the
first instance a pitcher got broken,
a frail inanimate pitcher that one
piece of silver could replace, while
in the other instance a living be
ing with animated bust aud im
perishable soul was the victim—a
victim that the combined wealth of
all the world could uot animate
again.
When, some time ago, The
Courier called the atteutiou of
parents to the danger of allowing
children to swing on and oft the
Houma train while it was in mo
tion, it foresaw that unless the
warning was heeded somb dreadful
fatality would result. The railroad
officials foresaw it too aud did
what they could to prevent it.
They had notices printed aud
tacked up in conspicuous places
warning boys to keep ot the prop
erty of the Railroad, and if we
mistake not, even went so far as
to arrest or threaten to arrest sev
eral boys who did not heed the
warning.
But notwithstanding the utmost
precautions of the train and sta
tion officials young boys would
swing on and off moving trains.
Sometimes they would swing on
to the steps of the coaches and at
other times would stand on the
cow-catclier of the engine.
Early last Wednesday morning
while the engine was switching
three negro boys jumped ou to the
cow-catcher. After riding a short
distance two of the boys jumped
off, and the third, Alfred Green,
aged 14 years, attempted to jump;
but his loot slipped and he fell
under the engine. The locomotive,
with its weight of many tons,
passed over the unfortunate yonth
cutting off both legs near the
thigh.
A number of persons soon assem
bled around the mangled lad, and
a surgeon dispatched for ; but lit
tle could be done for the boy ex
cept to allay his suffering, and he
died several hours afterward.
Accept Thank».
The Courier , for the people of
Houma, as well as for itself, wishes
to thank Supt. Owens and the
local Southern Pacific officials,
Messrs. Chauvin aud Thompsou,
for their courtesy in furnishing
yellow tever news during the past
epidemic in New Orleans.

letins furnished news twenty-four
hours iu advance of other sources,
iiud during the remaining period
four or five hours in advance.
The Courier's bulletin board
was the center of attraction, every
morning, during the fever, and we
could not have made it so, had it
not been for courtesy of the above
mentioned gentlemen in supplying
us with copies of the daily bulle
tins.
We assure them that their kind
uess is appreciated by the people
ot the community.
