—Notwithstanding the inclement
weather prevailing part of the week,
work on the waterworks and elec
tric light plant has progressed satis
factorily. The boiler work has
been completed and the smoke
stack placed in position. The
three dynamo eugines have arrived
and are on foundations, though a
mistake at the factory in sending
out two of the three patterns for the
eogine foundations of iucorrect
size, has caused some delay in re
modeling foundations. The 10-in.
pipe connection with the street
mains aud the pumps has also been
made. The reservoir will be com
pleted in a few days more, aud the
contractors are expecting to raise
steam and make the primary test
of the street maius about the 23d
inst. The electrical end of the
work continues to develop, though
there has been delay caused by not
getting poles as promptly as prom
ised. Next week, however, should
develop considerable activity along
this line in stretchiug wire and
making connections. Mr. Uolcomb,
the electrical engineer, whom Capt.
Nlcol has engaged to superuise this
branch of work arrived a few days
ago. Mr. Holcomb has charge of
the electrical station at Fort Mor
gan, for the U. S. Government,
and is here on forlough.

—Work on the buildings of the
|| New Iberia Cotton Mills is progress
ng under difficulty, due to the
. »possibility of draining the dis
^ÉgBt where the mill is located.
—mf' Mractor Reynolds has, however,
jkWKxed the mud and slush and
^jlpushed ou, and now, with the re
turn of good weather, is making
rapid progress. The locating of the
mill in that part of the city adds
powerful argument to the necessity
for the proposed drainage canal,
and must prove an incentive to the
accomplishment of that project.
The interpretation of the laws bear
ing on this question of drainage will
soon be expounded by the Suprême
Court, and then there should be no
time lost in organizing and pushing
the work to successful.termination.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SCOOP.
MISTROT BROS. & CO., HAVE STRUCK A VERITABLE KLONDIKE.
The A. B. Frank & Co.'s Wholesale Stock of Dry (ioods, Valued at
$300,000 Bought for $169,600.
The large wholesale dry goods house of A. B. Frank & Co..
San Antonio, Texas, was partially damaged by fire. As the
building was rendered unsafe, they were forced to sell the entire
stock, although the notion stock was the only department dam
aged. The stock was inventoried as follows :
Dry goods in basement, cased up $ 52,000 00
Dry goods on other floors 45,000 00
Boots and shoes 57,000 00
Clothing 42,000 00
Hats and furnishing goods 19,000 00
Notions, (hosiery, towels, lineus, embroid
eries, laces and such goods) 85,000 00
Total Three Hundred Thousand Dollars— $300,000 00
O nly the items under the general heading of Notions were
injured. All other departments uuhurt.
Owing to the small proportion of the stock which was dam
aged, this sale attracted attention North, South and West. On
the day appointed for disposing of the stock many men of na
tional reputation in this line of business were present aud bid 011
the stock.
Among many others were :
Morton Woolman of Kansas City, Mo. ;
M. Qerntz of Chicago, 111. ;
Rothschilds of Cincinnati, Ohio ;
besides various big combinations of monied men from Dallas,
San Antonio, Houston and other places.
It was a notable occasion ; and Mistrot Bros. & Co. became
o wners of this magnificent stock at about fifty cents on the dol
lar. It is being distributed among their twenty-three large retail
stores, and of course New Iberia will get an opportunity to share
in this big money-saving transaction.

Your Head Aches To-day.
It is a small matter; but it ached two days
ago, and again a week ago. You are acquiring
a habit of headache. That must be stopped. The
trouble is with your liver. You want a mild lax
ative, and then a tonic to stimulate the appetite
and make the blood rich and pure.
