Our state president, Mrs. O. Beirne.
a, routed by our state secretary, Mrs.
Gonzales, would give Saturday and
Sunday nights to Welsh, but owing
to the revival meetings in the Congre
gational church at that time, we were
able to meet her only in an informal
afternoon meeting on Friday, last.
The hearty words of encouragement
from the Methodist pastor, Rev.
Houck, were much appreciated.
It is the custom of the liquor ele
ment to wotT at religion and revivals
in particular. But do not all temper
ance workers hail evangeiistic efforts,
as "getting men converted" means
getting them sbher?' Let ns not forget
for a moment that all reform work
has its foundation in the religion of
our Christ.
For tbree weeks we have run an ar
ticle on Mormonism, of which faith
Senator (?) Smoot is a representa
tive. The Senate Committee on Privi
leges and Elections have decided that
the Smoot case shall be opened for
further testimony. It is thought that
the testimony will relate to the en
dowment oath of the Mormon church.
Smoot's opponents will try to prove
that his oath as an apostle in the
Mormon church is inconsistant with
his oath of office as senator of the
United States. More than one million
women are signers to the largest peti
tion ever submitted to the senate.
This bulky protest against seating
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, is being
bound in forty-five volumes, each con
taining the signatures for one state.
Apropos of the question, whether or
not alcohol is a food, it is to be noted
that the "Pure Food" bill recently
presented in the senate, separates
lixuor from food.
Absinthe, the "terror of France,"
is being manufactured and sold in
considerable quantities in this count
ry. Even the Liquor Dealers Journal
of Pittsburg. Pa.. says that something
must be done to stop its ravages and
that of the deadly cigaret, among the
American people.

Of Waverly, Texas, writes: ''Ofa
morning, when first arising, I often
find a troublesome collection of
phlegm which produces a cough and
is very hard to dislodge: but a small
quantity of Ballard's Horehound
Syrup will at once dislodge it, and

medicine that is equal to it, and it is
so pleasant to take. I can most cor

AN EDITOR'S APPEAL
To Brother Publishers in Behalf of
the Lost Child of Dr. Byers
of Seeleyville Ind.
If the editor of every paper in the
central west will publish these lines
there is no question but what Dr. 8.
L. Byers of Seeleyville, Ind., will re
cover his little son who was stolen
from his home one year ago last May.
)r. Byers has spent his entire re
sources in search for his child, and
unless the big hearted members of the
press come to his assistance, his son
will grow up an outlaw and an out- A
cast among the lowest people of the
earth. It is a cause that should ap
peal to everyone and no father read
ing these lines can do so without a
quickening of the heart and a sympa
thetic throb. It is believed that if
this article is re-printed in the news
papers it will form an endless chain (
that will uncover the boy's conceal. ,
ment and return him to his distracted ,
parents. In doing this the profession F
of journalism will be fulfilling one of s
its highest destinies. c
Publishers whose circulations touch y
the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi
valleys are especially requested to re- [
produce this story of the lost child as F
Dr. Byers believes his boy is now on c
some houseboat, waiting to take the a
road next spring. There is a reward A
of $500, awaiting any information that c
will lead to the boy's recovery. No c
questions will be asked and if the ab- t
ductor himself would deliver the boy t
to his parents he would not be molest- a
ed. The bereaved parents are heart a
broken with grief and want only their d
child. If each journal will reprint r
these lines, they will travel to every P
exchange table in the United States I
and bring back to a wretched home 1
a child who is now no doubt suffering p
with cold, unfed and wretched to a do- a
gree. Think of what your own feel.
ions wonld be under similar circum- r
stances! This appeal is indicted f
originally by a publisher who saw a
Dr. Byers only once, has no personal c
interest in his quest other than the c
bond of sympathy that makes the b
world akin, and is inspired from the a
belief that the lost boy can only be p
found through the united effort of the e
country press of which he is proud to c
be a member. His recovery Mill be a F
triumph in advertising and no 'editor p
whose heart is placed right will refuse a
this appeal. Remember, it may be i
your child next' a
The following is a description of the a
lost boy: c
DESCRIPTION. u
Richmond Byers, if alive, was (i h
years old last July, is of light com- 1
plexion, has gray eyes, left eye no- a
ticably crossed, has a small V shaped
sick in the edge of the left ear, has a 1
sharp chin and a narrow projecting I
forehead. Re is rather small for his t1
age and is unusually bright and in- a
telligent, taking after the manner of a FE
boy much older. a
Dr. Byers has searched among the ti
roving bands that frequent the United r
States and believes that his son can p
be found among traveling junk deal- n
ars, so called horse traders ormovers. c
le does notthink the boy was stolen 8
by genuine gipsies. He thitnks he was
taken by a wandering band that used 6
him for the purpose of begging in the Y

Son of Mr and Mrs James Day
A Host of Friends and Relatives
Monrn His Loss in Welsh as Well
as in Lake Charles When He Has
Resided for the Past Twenty Tears
Monday evening Welsh was shocked
by the receipt of a message from Lake
Charles to the effect that Wm. Day,
son of Uncle Jimmie Day, and brother
to Silas and Henry Day and Mrs. C.
E. Carr, of this place. had met with a
serious accident while uncoupling
cars in the Southern Pacific switch
yard.
As near as can be ascertained, Mr.
Day who was a switchman at that
place, was attempting to uncouple a
car in the yards Monday afternoon,
and the coupler haveng failed to work,
SMr. Day stepped betweed the moving
cars, as is the custom with switchmen
on such occasions, to take out the pin
" by hand, when his foot caught between
the guard rail and the main track rail
and held so fast as to preclude remov
I al. Mr. Day instantly perceiving his
danger and seeing that he could not
release his foot, threw himself out.
ward so that the trucks of the ap
lproaching car passed over and severed
his left leg near the knee. His com
panions immediately rushed to his
aid, but through somebody's blunder,
it is said be was not permitted to be
removed from the spot where he fell
I for nearly an hour, during which time
r no steps were taken to stop the flow
I of blood from the bleeding member,
other than the tying of a couple of
handkerchiefs around it. When he
was finally taken to his home in Goss
port he was too weak to stand an op
eration. Although Dr's. Temple,
Smith and Perkins did all in their
power to revive him sufficiently to
permit of an operation, all efforts
were in vain When morning dawned
3 it was seen that he was sinking fast
and that there was no hope. He passed
away at 9:30 Tuesday morning. Two
of his brothers, Henry and Silas Day,
were with him when he died, as was
his wife and three children and her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Greene
and sister, Mrs. J. N. Wetherill.
IMr. Day's father, mother and sister,
Mrs. C. E. Carr, were unable to reach
Lake Charles until train No. 5 went
through Tuesday afternoon, when Mr. ,
and Mrs. James Day, Mr and Mrs. C.
E. Carr, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Tanner
and Mrs. Silas Day went over to at
tend thefuneral which was held at the
residence, corner of Lyons and Gose
pers streets at 2..0 Wednesday after
noon, with interment to Orange Grove
cemetary, Rev. G. B. Hines of the
Simpson Methodist church otfficiating.
William W. Day was born in
St. Lawrence couaty, N. Y., in the4
year 186ti5, and with his parents and4
three brothers came to Louisiana <
twenty-one years ago.* They settled -
in Welsh, where the parents, two
brothers, Silas and Henry 'and one
sister, Mrs. C. E. Carr, still reside.
Shortly after uoming south, William
went to Lake Charles and has made
thatplace his home ever since. De
cember 15, 189" he was married to
Miss Auna, daughter otf.Mr. and Mrs.
H. R. Greene of Lake Charles. She
and the three children, together with
herparentfs, three" brothers and one
sister, mourn thle loss of a loyal hise
band, a loving father, a true son' and
a genproas brother, while we iall feel
that we.have lost a good .citizen, one
of God's noblemen. o

BLACK POWDER SHELLS
The "Nublack" is a grand good shell;
good in construction, good because it is
primed with a quick and sure primer, and
good because carefully and accurately
loaded with the best brands of powder
and shot. It is a favorite among hunters
and other users of black powder shells on
account of its uniform shooting, evenness
of pattern and strength to withstand
reloading. A trial will prove its excellence.
