Survey Abandoned.The Jackson, Miss., correspond-

ent of the Daily States says:The work of the surveying the

proposed New Orleans and Missis-siypi Railroad through Mississippifrom Pontontoc to the CrescentCity, has been abandoned. Chiefengineer Davis has accepted aposition with another system, andhis assistant, Mr. J. H. Thomas,has done likewise, which makes itlook very much like the enterprisehas fallen through. About 125miles of the preliminary survey hadbeen finished. It was generallybelieved that when the road waschartered about three months agothat it was being backed up by the'Frisco system.

The Boers, under Gen. Delaney.last Friday captured GeneralMathuen. the British commander,near Lichtenburg. Gen. Methuenwas wounded, three British officersand thirty men were killed, fiveBritish officers and seventy-two menwere wounded, and one British of-ficer and 200 men are missing.All the British baggage was cap-tured. Four guns were taken.

Sugar men say they .find muchsatisfaction in the attitude of theFreeman, the negro paper publish-ed - anapolis, and the attitudeof ,Knox. He has warnedthq leaders that whilefe i exercise the ballotIo the negroes "hold

the power in Indianaand Ohio;" that the negroes "standfor protection," and will not failto resent on the part of the Repub-lican party any action that would,by wrecking asly cripplingthe sugar pl Louisiana, de-prive 150,00 ro plantationhands of their means of livelihood.

No State Laws AgainstTrusts.

The Supreme Court of the

United States ' yesterday declaredunconstitutional the Illinos StateStatute prohibiting all combina-tions and trusts to monopolize orcontrol or restrain trade, on theground that its prohibitions didnot extend to the cornering orcontrolling or monopolizing thetrade in agricultural products,when carried on by farmers. Un-

der the Illinois law, farmers couldform trusts to deal in their ownproducts, while all other trustswere prohibited. The Court de-clares that in its prohibitions, thelaw must make no exceptions.

This decision, as a matter ofoouise, applies to all State anti-

trust laws which make similar er-ceptions. The Louisiana Stateanti-trust law of 1892 falls underthe decision, because, while pro-hibiting all trusts in commerce,manufacturing and transportation

it makes the following exceptions:*"That the provisions of the actshalt not apply to agricultural pro-ducts or lave stock, while in the

handsof the prodnuer or raiser,nor be so construed as to affect

any combination of confederationof laborers, for the purpose of pro-curing an increase in their wagesor redress of grievances." Ap-

parently farmers' and stock raisers'

and laborers' trusts are to be in-

cluded in any prohibitory legisla-

tion, and the State laws, being de-elared null, there is no law against

trusts in this or any other State

whose statute possesses the defect

(Improved Train l ervice.The coming season will be the

greatest the st. Tammany healthresorts have ever known. Ar-rangements have been perfectedfor ad improned train service, and,if the plans which have been madedo not fall through, the time be-tween New Orleans and Covington,including, of course, the interme-diate points, will be materiallyshortened.

The East Louisiana road will,within the next sixty days, havecompleted the laying of heavy railsbetween Pearl River Junction andCovington. New equipment hasbeen contracted far, and it is notat all unlikely that trains will berun through from this city to Cov-ington, without the long switchingdelay at Pearl River, which nowhampers the service.

The town of St. Tammany is be-ing rapidly built up. On Saturday,March 15, an excursion will betendered its friends by the menbehind the St. Tammany HealthHomes Company, which is pre-paring to make an ideal resort outof the pretty little village in theozone belt. fhe New Orleans andNortheastern and the East Louisi-ana have agreed to put in an ex-cursion rate to St. rammany of 80cents for the round trip, as against$1 to Covington and Abita Springs.

The running of Wednesday ex-cursions will be resumed on Wed-nesday, April 2. The Sunday ex-cursions run all the year round.With the two excursions weekly,and the projected through service,it would seem that the piny woodsresidents have all their wants pro-vided for. It is stated that inAbita Springs a number of newcottages are being erected, andthat every arrangement Is beingmade to care for record-breakingcrowds.

If the idea of running trainsthrough solid from" New Orleanst Covington carries;it will mean

shortening of time between thetwo points by about twenty min-utes. A still further economy intime will be made possible by the

improvement of the roadbed of theEast Louisiana.-Picayune.

The dose isfifteen to twenty drops of oil upona lump of sugar three times a day.It is stated by physicians that thereare no injurious properties in theoil, while its'cheapness places it inthe reach of everyone. It is be.iieved that it is the sulphur con-etituent of the oil that gives it theremarkiible curative properties.

FAIRVIEW.

Elliot Tract.A 'Charming Spot For

Summer or WinterHomes.

Last ruesday the well-knownElliot tract of land, of late ybarsknown as Fairview, passed into thehands of Dr. J. O. Flower, ofPittsburg, Pa. The tract con-tains about eight hundred acres,with a front of three-quarters ofa mile on Tchefuncta river, and iswithin ten minutes ride of Coving-ton.

The land is elevated, and is well-shaded with beautiful live oak,magnolia, and other varieties oftrees, and is one of the most attrac-tive spots in the parish.

It will be laid out in lots andsquares, and wide avenues, and isan ideal spot for summer or winterresidence. The place is only about300 yards from Old Landing,where the fine lake steamer NewCamellha arrives regularly duringthe summer season, and the charm-ing Manresa place is not far dis-tant. Dixon Academy, Dr. Geo.R. rolson's Sanitorium, and Cov-ington are within easy reach, andin a short time regular transporta-tion will be provided to Fairview.

A draw bridge is in contempla-tion, via the Aunt Amy road,

which has been in use for overtwenty years.

This fine tract will doubtlesseventually be built up with resi-dences, and become an importantsuburb of Covington. Alreadyseveral persons have secured op-tions on lots and squares, and willprobably build in the near future.

It remained for Dr. Flower todiscover the advantages and greatfuture promises of this charminglocation. The sale was consummatedthrough Mr. F. B. Martindale, no-tary pnblic and real estate agent.

Being situated in the great ozonebelt, where yellow fever is neverknown, and persons suffering frompulmonary or bronchial affe3tionsfind instant relief and often acomplete cure, Fairview will quick-ly come to the front as one of themost charming and desirable placesin our parish, noted for its resortsfor either health or recreation.

The Tehefuncta 'river, whosenatural beauties and enchantingscenery have been extolled by thehistorians and poets, affords finebathing, boating and fishing.

The residence on the place is be-ing renovated and the fences re-built. There is a fine flowingwell and others will be drivensoon.

*"Fairview" will soon be given a"fair" start, and its bright futureis already assured.

WOMEN AND JEWELS.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man -that is the order of a woman's pre-ferences. Jewels form a magnetof mighty power to the averagewoman. Even the greatest of alljewels, health, is often ruined inthe strenuous efforts to make orsave the money to purchase them.If a woman will risk her health toget a coveted gem, then let herfortify herself against the insiduousconsequences of coughs, colds andbronchial affections by the regularuse of Dr. Boschee's GermanSyrup. It will promptly arrestconsumptiom in its early stages andheal the affected lungs and bron-chial tubes and drive the dread dis-ease from the sytem. It is not acure-all, but is a certain cure forcoughs, colds and all bronchialtroubles. You can get Dr. 0. G.Green's reliable remedies at V. H.Fredernck's drug store. GetGreen's Special Almanac.

A Printer Greatly Surprised.

'"1 never was so much surprisedin my life, as I was with the resultsof using Rti amberlains Pain Balm,"says Ilen iT. Crook, pressman ofthe Asheville (N. C.) Gazette. "Icontracted a severe case of rheuma-tism early lass winter by getting myfeet wet. I tried several things foeit without benefit. One day lhilelooking over the Gazette, I noticedthat Pain Balm was guaranteed tocure rheumatism, so bought a bot-tle of it and before using two thirdsof it my rheumatism had taken itsflight and I have never had a rheu-matic pain since." fold by V. H.Frederick, druggist.

Editor St. Tammany FAnRsa:For the benefit of timid ladles, who

are easily frightened by insulting andthreatening letters; kindly find space In

your valuable journal for the following:Not quite two years ago there ap-

peared an article in the FARnMs rela-tive to an anonymous letter sent toa sweet young lady governess in a high-ly respected family near Chinehuba.The father of the family nobly de-nounced writer of same. Such anotherletter was sent to one of the mostprominent women in Louisiana, a ladyamong whose large circle of friends arenumbered the most brilliant men of theday, a widow of a prominent sugarplanter, one who would scorn to noticesuch a cowardly letter, only that theparties are known and have been re-quested to leave their names at theofice of the Wave, our home paper, to

be convinced of the penalty of the lawfor using the mail for such purpose.

In vain has it been tried to forCe thislady into accepting the ideas of others,but without success, for the advice andassociation of learned judges and law-yers, etc., who have been her staunchfriends, and whose clientshe has been-under such guidance so small a thingas a cowardly threat from women doesnot scare a cent. The letter has beensent to the high authority, but I awaltheir signature. Should they faill tosend it, In the columns of the FAaMaR,which has honored me so often, I de-nounce these women and their ascom-plices as cowards, and it they are sparedfrom the punishment they deserve, itis through sympathy, respect and es-teem for the kindest and best of hus-bands, whose name one bears, and therespect for the respectable old familyof whom they are members. Otherwisethese guilty ones are unworthy of theleast consideration from any law-abidlng citizen or from one who Is theproud bearer of a noble and unsulliedname. E. J. G.
