The Jackson, Miss., correspond- ent of the Daily States says: The work of the surveying the proposed New Orleans and Missis- siypi Railroad through Mississippi from Pontontoc to the Crescent City, has been abandoned. Chief engineer Davis has accepted a position with another system, and his assistant, Mr. J. H. Thomas, has done likewise, which makes it look very much like the enterprise has fallen through. About 125 miles of the preliminary survey had been finished. It was generally believed that when the road was chartered about three months ago that it was being backed up by the 'Frisco system. The Boers, under Gen. Delaney. last Friday captured General Mathuen. the British commander, near Lichtenburg. Gen. Methuen was wounded, three British officers and thirty men were killed, five British officers and seventy-two men were 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 much satisfaction in the attitude of the Freeman, the negro paper publish- ed - anapolis, and the attitude of ,Knox. He has warned thq leaders that while fe i exercise the ballot Io the negroes "hold the power in Indiana and Ohio;" that the negroes "stand for protection," and will not fail to resent on the part of the Repub- lican party any action that would, by wrecking asly crippling the sugar pl Louisiana, de- prive 150,00 ro plantation hands of their means of livelihood. No State Laws Against Trusts. The Supreme Court of the United States ' yesterday declared unconstitutional the Illinos State Statute prohibiting all combina- tions and trusts to monopolize or control or restrain trade, on the ground that its prohibitions did not extend to the cornering or controlling or monopolizing the trade in agricultural products, when carried on by farmers. Un- der the Illinois law, farmers could form trusts to deal in their own products, while all other trusts were prohibited. The Court de- clares that in its prohibitions, the law must make no exceptions. This decision, as a matter of oouise, applies to all State anti- trust laws which make similar er- ceptions. The Louisiana State anti-trust law of 1892 falls under the decision, because, while pro- hibiting all trusts in commerce, manufacturing and transportation it makes the following exceptions: *"That the provisions of the act shalt 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 confederation of laborers, for the purpose of pro- curing an increase in their wages or 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 mentxoned.--Plcayune, March 10. You have good reason to fear an attackof pneumonia, when you have a severe cold, accompanied by pamnse ia the chest or in the back between the shoulders. Get a bottle of : Chamberfla's Cough •emedy and useit as direoted and it will pre-, vent the threatened attack. Among the tens of thousands who have used Sthls Remedy for colds and is grippe, we ave*jet to learn of a single case that has resulted in pneumonia, | whichb shows that thi. remedy is a 1 certain preventive of that dangerous a disease. Fox sale by V. H. Freder- i -ik, d ruegist- (Improved Train l ervice. The coming season will be the greatest the st. Tammany health resorts have ever known. Ar- rangements have been perfected for ad improned train service, and, if the plans which have been made do not fall through, the time be- tween New Orleans and Covington, including, of course, the interme- diate points, will be materially shortened. The East Louisiana road will, within the next sixty days, have completed the laying of heavy rails between Pearl River Junction and Covington. New equipment has been contracted far, and it is not at all unlikely that trains will be run through from this city to Cov- ington, without the long switching delay at Pearl River, which now hampers the service. The town of St. Tammany is be- ing rapidly built up. On Saturday, March 15, an excursion will be tendered its friends by the men behind the St. Tammany Health Homes Company, which is pre- paring to make an ideal resort out of the pretty little village in the ozone belt. fhe New Orleans and Northeastern and the East Louisi- ana have agreed to put in an ex- cursion rate to St. rammany of 80 cents 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 woods residents have all their wants pro- vided for. It is stated that in Abita Springs a number of new cottages are being erected, and that every arrangement Is being made to care for record-breaking crowds. If the idea of running trains through solid from" New Orleans t Covington carries;it will mean shortening of time between the two points by about twenty min- utes. A still further economy in time will be made possible by the improvement of the roadbed of the East Louisiana.-Picayune. COURT ITEMS. Cases disposed of up to to i Thursday noon: Edgar Perilloux vs N.

Harmon of Beau- mont, Texas, lpays that he was sf- feated with bronchitis in its worst form, and was ibduced to try the remedial effects of the crude pe- troleum oil of the region six weeks ago, and is now completely cured. Eugene Elrid' of Brenham has been taking the oil for pulmonary trouble, and it has wrought a won- derful change for the better in his condition. Many people in Hemp- stead are taking the oil, and the use of the remedy is rapidly be- coining general throughout this part of the State. The dose is fifteen to twenty drops of oil upon a lump of sugar three times a day. It is stated by physicians that there are no injurious properties in the oil, while its'cheapness places it in the reach of everyone. It is be. iieved that it is the sulphur con- etituent of the oil that gives it the remarkiible curative properties. Chronic Diarrhoea. Air. C. B. Wingileld, of Fair Play, Mo., who suffered from chronic dysentery for thirty five years. says Chamberlain's Colic.

Last ruesday the well-known Elliot tract of land, of late ybars known as Fairview, passed into the hands of Dr. J. O. Flower, of Pittsburg, Pa. The tract con- tains about eight hundred acres, with a front of three-quarters of a mile on Tchefuncta river, and is within ten minutes ride of Coving- ton. The land is elevated, and is well- shaded with beautiful live oak, magnolia, and other varieties of trees, and is one of the most attrac- tive spots in the parish. It will be laid out in lots and squares, and wide avenues, and is an ideal spot for summer or winter residence. The place is only about 300 yards from Old Landing, where the fine lake steamer New Camellha arrives regularly during the 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, and in 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 over twenty years. This fine tract will doubtless eventually be built up with resi- dences, and become an important suburb of Covington. Already several persons have secured op- tions on lots and squares, and will probably build in the near future. It remained for Dr. Flower to discover the advantages and great future promises of this charming location. The sale was consummated through Mr. F. B. Martindale, no- tary pnblic and real estate agent. Being situated in the great ozone belt, where yellow fever is never known, and persons suffering from pulmonary or bronchial affe3tions find instant relief and often a complete cure, Fairview will quick- ly come to the front as one of the most charming and desirable places in our parish, noted for its resorts for either health or recreation. The Tehefuncta 'river, whose natural beauties and enchanting scenery have been extolled by the historians and poets, affords fine bathing, boating and fishing. The residence on the place is be- ing renovated and the fences re- built. There is a fine flowing well and others will be driven soon. *"Fairview" will soon be given a "fair" start, and its bright future is already assured. WOMEN AND JEWELS. Jewels, candy, flowers, man - that is the order of a woman's pre- ferences. Jewels form a magnet of mighty power to the average woman. Even the greatest of all jewels, health, is often ruined in the strenuous efforts to make or save the money to purchase them. If a woman will risk her health to get a coveted gem, then let her fortify herself against the insiduous consequences of coughs, colds and bronchial affections by the regular use of Dr. Boschee's German Syrup. It will promptly arrest consumptiom in its early stages and heal the affected lungs and bron- chial tubes and drive the dread dis- ease from the sytem. It is not a cure-all, but is a certain cure for coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles. You can get Dr. 0. G. Green's reliable remedies at V. H. Fredernck's drug store. Get Green's Special Almanac. A Printer Greatly Surprised. '"1 never was so much surprised in my life, as I was with the results of using Rti amberlains Pain Balm," says Ilen iT. Crook, pressman of the Asheville (N. C.) Gazette. "I contracted a severe case of rheuma- tism early lass winter by getting my feet wet. I tried several things foe it without benefit. One day lhile looking over the Gazette, I noticed that Pain Balm was guaranteed to cure rheumatism, so bought a bot- tle of it and before using two thirds of it my rheumatism had taken its flight and I have never had a rheu- matic pain since." fold by V.

Tammany Farmer: Lest you should forget that our town has still a local habitation and a name, this scribler will send you a few lines to let you know we are here yet. Mrs. Jones, mother-in-law of conductor Frist, has been quite sick but is now improving. Several other cases of sickness have oc- curred, but all are convalescing. La grip is no respecter of person or places either. so our always healthy town in this ozone belt. came in for a share of that much dreaded disease. The big steam shovel and gravel trains have been idle a few days, but will soon be moving again. Our public school is progressing finely. Miss Bessie Simpson seems to inspire the children to do their best, and with such a teacher we expect great things of the scholars. Miss Simpson has also organized a branch society of Sunshiners and they will soon give an entertain- ment for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum, that has so lately needed help in the city. The new school house is quite an acquisition and will be orna- mental when painted. Mr. J. J. Willis is having one of his cottages repainted. Mr. and Mrs. J. Sullivan will soon occupy their new cottage. Mrs. J. Lewis, who is visiting her mother, Mrs. Willis, will leave for Hattiesburg, in a short time. Rev. W. H. La Prade, P. E., stopped of one night and gathered up his handful of scattered sheep and administered the bacrament after a very impressive sermon. The Ladies Aid Society of which Miss Adele Crawford Is President, are giving oyster suppers to make up a fund to help build the new church. Lanier Crockett has gone to Florenville to take charge of the telegraph oflice for a short time. Miss Edwina Seal, ot Nicholson, was a late visitor to relatives here. Mrs. W. Sanders has returned from a visit to her sick mother at Meridian. Mrs. J. rate is visiting friends at Meridian. Mrs. Hulma of the city is spend- ing a few days with her daughter, Mrs. Culpepper. If old March goes out like a lamb we will soon be looking for the many summer visitors to our healthy town at the junction of two big railroads.

Editor St. Tammany FAnRsa: For the benefit of timid ladles, who are easily frightened by insulting and threatening 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 to a sweet young lady governess in a high- ly respected family near Chinehuba. The father of the family nobly de- nounced writer of same. Such another letter was sent to one of the most prominent women in Louisiana, a lady among whose large circle of friends are numbered the most brilliant men of the day, a widow of a prominent sugar planter, one who would scorn to notice such a cowardly letter, only that the parties are known and have been re- quested to leave their names at the ofice of the Wave, our home paper, to be convinced of the penalty of the law for using the mail for such purpose. In vain has it been tried to forCe this lady into accepting the ideas of others, but without success, for the advice and association of learned judges and law- yers, etc., who have been her staunch friends, and whose clientshe has been- under such guidance so small a thing as a cowardly threat from women does not scare a cent. The letter has been sent to the high authority, but I awal their signature. Should they faill to send 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 spared from the punishment they deserve, it is through sympathy, respect and es- teem for the kindest and best of hus- bands, whose name one bears, and the respect for the respectable old family of whom they are members. Otherwise these guilty ones are unworthy of the least consideration from any law- abidlng citizen or from one who Is the proud bearer of a noble and unsullied name. E. J.
