Both Republican and Democratic

Postmaster-General Henry C. Payne,
after an illness of only a week of heart
trouble, passed into the unknown be
yond late Tlueday evening. Death
was the result of a succession of sink

The Republicans have a walkover
in the coming election according to
Chairman Cortelvou, while Taggart
declares the outlook was never bright
er from a Democratic standpoint.
Should the chairmen of the two iar
ties accidently exchange nose-glasses
there would be a dearth of political
news for a few days.
For the first time in years the con
trol of the democratic party in St.
Louis has been wrested from the cor
rupt Butler gang. At both the city
primaries and county convention this
week Butler was whipped to a stand
still by the opposing forces headed by
Harry B. Hawes and supporting Jo
seph W. Folk. This means that anti
Boodle, anti-Butler and common de
cency will reign supreme in the world's
fair city for four years at least.

WOI)MAN TO OCCUPY IOWA PULPIT.
Former Welsh Lady Chosen to Fill
Place Given Former llusband.
Monday's Lake Charles American
e netained the following interesting:
- m' a ut of a former \\Welsh lady, her
. huiband havinug at one time ben pas
t.lr of the Congregational ciiurch:
lrs. \Vinntie Fiher,. widow of thu
' late 1iv. J. h. Fisher, has moved to
Iowa where she has been engaged as
regular paitur of the Congcegatilnal
church, the place her husband w al
- preparing to till when death cut his
1 career of usefulness so cruelly short.
Local churchlnen say gMrs. Fi sher
1 is the only woiain in Louisiana who
has charge of the spiritual welfare of
a large and pro'sperous congregation:
1 but her qualitiations are such that no
one doubts her ability to discharge*
the duties of the high otlice. She is
one of the best bible scholars in the
state and the congregation at Iowa
are well pleased with the work she has
begun to do among them.
IMrs. Fisher, who was Miss Winnie
Carradine before her marriage, is
about 33 years old and is a Calcasieu
girl by education and early adoption.
She was educated in the schools of
Lake Charles and early exhibited a
liking for religious studies. She ac
Icordingly fitted herself for foreign
missionary work and spent a while in
Central America in its prosecution.
In lS!ti she married foev. J. B. Fisher,
who was eng aged in the home mission
work. Together they pursued this ar
duous and!often tbanklcss occupation
in this section of the state, making
their home in Lake Charles.
Last spring the peoile of Iowa in
vitetd Rev. J. B. Fisher to become
their pastor. There is a good, pros
l:'rous congregiation at Iowa of this
belief: they have a handsome church
and a new parsonage. liev. Mr. Fisher
i had la ored many years establishing
churches and encouraging infant con
gregations, and decided to settle down
at Iowa to take a well earned rest.
Then came the terrible accident that
robbed him of life.
The last mission 1Rev. Fisher had
to fulflil, previous to his incumheucy
I f the Iowa pastorate was at Mermen
tau, just across the river of that name
in Acadia parish. While conducting
a week's services there, he had occa
sion to go to Jennings and return to
S1Mermentan on an oil train that plies
between the two points. When the
train reached .Mermentau. the half of
the train unon which Mr. Fisher rode
was pushed into a switch and the
ot her half remained on the main track
to do some switching. Not knowing
of this, Mr. Fisher stepped from the
cahoose and on the main track just in
front of the moving cars and was in
stantly killed.
Left alone in straitened circum
stanes with an infant son not two
years old, Mrs. Fisher took up the
burden of life and opened a hoarding
house. But the good people of Iown.
had observed her work closely while
with her huslband, knew her (quac iica
tions and after inviting her to con
duct serv'ices for them a few timres, of
fered her the vacant pastorate. She
aceuted and by this time is settled in
her new line of work which has at all
times proved congenial to her and in
which hor friends predict for her sub
stantial success.
The Journal erred last week in stat
ing that Miss Ketch would assist Miss
Moore in teaching the Ebenezer school.
It should have 'cad that Miss Ham
ilton will assist Miss Margaret
Bovell. Miss Moore taught there last
year, but declined the position this
term.,

The larco rice ware house at Kap
- Ian owned by the Rushmore Planters
and "Irrigation company, was destroy
ly tire Tuesday. Between ti.(i000 and
S,0t)0 sacks of rice were also burned,
as well as a hox car belonging to the
Southern Pacific which was standing
on a siding near the mill. The origin
of the lire is a mystery.
The Advent school in the southern
limits of town opened an eight months'
term Monday morning under the most
favorable circumstances, twenty-one
pupils having been enrolled the first
day and that number has gradually
increased during the week. J. W.
Peabody has been engaged to teach
the school and it is predicted by both
')atron and pupil that he will give
general satisfaction.

At the meeting of the Masonic
lodge Monday night Wm P. ltussell
presented the three branches of that

scription: Presented to Welsh Lodge

The well being drilled on the Heald
farm in the eastern limits of Welsh
by J. W. Embry is down 650 feet. For
several days past the drill has been in
hard gumbo and as a result slow pro.
gress is being made. Every precau
tion is being taken to prevent acci
dents and unnecessary delays. it the
present depth there are no indications
of oil or gas, but it was hardly ex
pected before a depth of 1000 or 1200
feet was reached, and those interested
are sanguine that oil in paying quani.
ties will be found at that point.
The Gulf rice mill started its ma
chinery in operation Monday morn
ing and for a short time everything
worked perfectly. Suddenly a bar in
some mysterious manner became en.
tangled in the huller and damaged it
to such an extent that it was necessary
to close down to await the arrival of
repairs from New Orleans. The boil
er was fired up yesterday morning,
but up to the hour of going to press
had not begun milling because of
trivial delays. The Gulf mill is one
of the handsomest, most modern and
best equipped mills in the rice belt.
The interior is conveniently arranged,
well lighted and thorougly ventilated
and the exterior is built of galvanized
building material, making a strong
safeguard against fire.
