Lake Charles, La., July 26.—A
pretty home wedding occurred here
yesterday morning, when Miss Edna
Lucille Poole, daughter of Judge and
Mrs. George F. Poole,^ was married to
Mr. Will Scaife. The ceremony was
conducted at the home of the bride’s
parents, 725 Ford street, by* Rev. H.
H. Shell, pastor of the First Baptist
church, in the presence of the family
and a few intimate friends of the con-
tracting parties. Immediately follow-
ing the- ceremony, the young-couple
left for New Orleans and points‘in
-Mississippi, where they will spend
their honeymoon, returning to Lake
Charles in about two weeks.
Miss Poole has been a resident of
Lake Charles for a number of years,
coming to this city from Orange,
Texas, where her father wa&Tormerly
district judge. She is universally
popular, her sweet disposition and
many admirable traits winning for
her hosts of friends who will hasten
to wish her a life of uninterrupted
happiness. Mr. Scaife is one of Lake
Charles' substantial young, business
men. and is to be congratulated upon
winning such a charming lady as his
life mate.'
(Miss Poole is well known and
most pleasantly remembered in Or-
ange, where she- was several years
employed in the accounting depart-
ment of the daily newspapers here)
When Yc% Think
Of the pain which many Isoeii experience with every
month it makes the gentlei Ja and kindness always associ-
ated with womanhood af^r to be almoat a miracle.
While in general pa woman rebels against what she re-
gards as a natural necessity there is no woman who would
not gladly be free from this recurring period of pain.

There is more Catarrh in this sec-
Ition of the country than all other dis-
!cases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incura-
, bit*. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and pre-
| scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat-
' ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
[has proved catarrh to -be a constitu-
tional di-case and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Ca-
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Che-
ney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
con-titutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts .di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur-
faces of the system. They offer one

straight road from Orange north via
Marshall to Paris.
At Paris this new Frisco line will
connect with the first Frisco road
touching Texas. That road forms the
most direct route from St. Louis to
Texas, and with its new connections
through Oklahoma and Missouri, a
route which rivals the Kansas City
Southern’ in distance and time to
Orange.
So the Frisco's latest extension
promises great benefit to Orange.
Orange needs only' to go ahead
with its deep water movemenf to be-
come a great shipping and manufac-
turing city.
The Orange & Northwestern is
now running to Newton. The exten-
sion from Newton to Hemphill, about
thirty miles, is ordered to be com-
pleted as early as practicable. The
survey was completed two months
ago, the lint1 located and the blue
prints carried away by Mr. Kerry,
the head of the engineering depart-
ment, to his office in Chicago. Ac-
tual construction is expected to be-
gin within the next few weeks. It
is known here that a part of this gap
is owned and will be built by the
Miller-Link Lumber company, in
conversion of one of their north-and-
snuth tram roads, and it is understood
also that the road when built is^to
become a part of the great Frisco
system, for the advantage of Orange.
Rapid work is also to be done on
the construction of the gap between
Hemphill and Marshall, where it joins
the road under construction be-
tween Marshall and Paris. In^ the
Marshall and Hemphill gap two or
three straight north-and-south tram
roads will form an important part,
and aid materially in the rapidity
with which this gap will be com-
pleted
The first plans of the directors were
to build from Marshall only as far as
the Houston and East Texas rail-
way. a distance of about fifty miles,
but the later determination is to
build on to a connection jfith the Or-
ange & Northwestern railway, form-
ing a through line to the gulf.
A news letter from Houston to the
Galveston News recently, reporting
the movements of the Frisco in East
Texas, said: ‘The entire combina-
tion of roads is expected to be under
the management of the Frisco, and
Orange is expected to become the
southern deep water terminus of a
new and important trunk line. Hemp-
hill will probably be a division point.”

where a failure to advertise the meet-
ing left Messrs. Holland and Huggins
with a small crowd, but a canvass
of the matter with the few there
shows an almost unanimous senti-
ment in that neighborhood for the
bonds.
At Winfree there was a fine meet-
ing. Deputy Sheriff Henry Harvey
says Judge Adams and Messrs. J. W.
Link and Clarence Bond made good
speeches, and enthusiasm w-as high.
The voters were all there, and had
their wives and children there, and
ice cream was served and a delightful
time had all around. George M. Sells,
who was out at the meeting, says it
was a pleasing success, and while that
box was at first against it, it is now
almost solid for the issue.
A good meeting is also reported
at I’rairie View, where V. H. Stark
and Frank Hatton spoke.
Judge Bisland and S. W. Sholars
left early to spend the day at Texla,
and speak there tonight .
The effect of the vigorous campaign
is being seen as well as felt. One man
said yesterday: “If I were opposed,
1 should not vote against a measure
so strong with all the people.” An-
other said today: “It will take bull-
dog courage and mulish obstinacy to
help a man vote against deep water,
Just how a man can do it, I can not
understand.” •"

From Friday’s Daily.
Rev. A. G. Scruggs, father of Mrs.
J. J. Love, of this city, a well known
East Texas Methodist minister, re-
turned to Orange last night from Al-
vin, where he was during Wednes-
day’s storm.
Rev. Scruggs says that terrible
.damage was wrought by the storm in
Alvin. A number of houses we.re
blown down and numerous others
wrecked. The greater portion of the
population of that city took refuge
in the brick buildings, while others
went into storm houses. Before leav-
ing the city he saw one of four men
rescued from Hoskins Island who had
been storm tossed and were in a ter-
rible condition. *The man seen by
Rev. Scruggs was as nude as an in-
fant from the long hours of suffering
and fright. This man's arms and
breast were bare of skin, worn off
by holding onto a log for several
hours. This party told Rev. Scruggs
that he knew that his father and
brother, who were with him in a
boat which went to pieces, were
drowned. Rev. Scruggs says that the
crops for miles and miles around Al- (
vin were totally destroyed. In talk-
ing to business men on the first train
out of Galveston, Rev. Scruggs was
told that the damage resulting from
the storm was much greater than was
reported by the newspapers, and that
part of the island City unprotected
by the sea wall was literally swept
away. Rev. Scruggs was told by a
Galveston man that he alone was
loser by $30,000 as a result of the
storm.

All hope,!’of Johnson's Bayou es-

storm vanished yesterday when the
sloop Florence. Captain Anderscgi,
brought a different report.
The report brought up by the par-
ties on the sloop was to the effect
that the island was about one-third
submerged bv the water from the
gulf, beginning, at 7 o’clock in 'the
morning and lasting until about
noon. That part of the country-
touched by the gulf water was from
one to six feet in depth, and the
waves were strong and fierce. For-
tunately, there was no loss of life,
but it is believed that a large num-
ber of stock we re drowned by the
overflow. The pasture in which Fred

Columbus, Miss., July . 27.—With
his daughter’s kiss still fervidly lin-
gering upon his lips, and with her
affectionate and devoted caress still
imprinted around his neck, Charles
R. Smith, one of the wealthiest men
in Mississippi, entered the «tate peni-
tentiary at Rankin farm, east of
Jackson, there to begin his life im-
prisonment for slaying Eugene A.
Laurent, the Nashville traveling man,
at Artesia, Miss., last January.
He traveled to Artesia over the
railroad so familiar to him through-
out his life. It was on this road
he came to Columbus the night of
the killing. Possibly all of the four-
teen miles have some fascination or
peculiar image to him by this time;
he has traveled this section so often.
At Artesia, where he ha3 lived the
fifty-five years, fyt walked around the
south end of the station, thence
turned northward, following the path
he trod the afternoon he spied Lau-
rent in front of the telegraph win-
dow. That path led next to the bag-
gage room, into which Laurent fled ‘
when followed by Smith. But if
this memory did linger in his mind,
as it lingered in the minds of many
bystanders, judging from the under-
tones scarcely audible as he passed,
he must Have suffered a terrible
awakening, for the next second he
was bidding his daughter the last
farewell just before he entered the
coach to carry him to the cortfines
of the penitentiary to pay the pen-
alty for what the jury said was mur-
der.
Smith killed Laurent believing he
had seduced his daughter. It is
probably the first time in the old
South where a man has received a
term in the penitentiary- for such
an offense.
How long Smith will remain a con-
vict, what his attorneys will do about
carrying the case to the United States
supreme court, what attempt to se-
cure a pardort for him or whether he
is too insane to remain a convict and
his condition warrants the asylum’s
confinement, are matters the public
now discusses. It is practically cer-
tain, however, that some step in one
of these lines will be. made.

Steamship Nicaragua Had Smooth
Trip Down Sabine River.
The Lutcher-Moore Lumber com-
pany had a message from Pilot S. W.
Livingston on the steamship Nicara-
gua, w hich left the mil! in'Orange at
6:30 this morning, saying that the
ship reached Port Arthur at 10:30
without delay or incident to impede
her smooth progress. Though pretty
well loaded, and under her own pow-
er and the largest ship ever up the
Sabine, the Nicaragua did not even
scrape bottom, but her passage down
the river and through the Sabine-
Ncches ship canal was all the .most
optimistic Orangeite could wish.
The Nicaragua will stop at the
Lutcher-Moore company’s wharf at
Sabine Pass to complete her cargo of
400,000 feet of lumber. With eighteen
feet of water in the ship cinal, the
Nicaragua and ships of her size could
take on an entire cargo at the wharves
right here in Orange.
Mere is a demonstration of the need
of deep water, and the purpose of
the progressive people of Orange
county to wait no longer on slow
federal appropriations but to help
themselves and go to work mod dig
the canal.
The election next Tuesday will an-
salt water with its terrible force. The
wells and underground cisterns were
fillet! wuh salt water, which will re-
sult in a great calamity for those
who own stock, and will cause a
number of families to move to fresh
water.
One of the greatest losses was suf-
fered by a man who was engaged in
boring an artesian well, which had
reached a depth of 4(41 feet when the
storm came The well, with all of
its pipe, will be lost, as the water
caused the hole to cave in and tight-1
en the pipe so as to prevent its be-[
ing pulled out.
The people of the ‘bayou country,
were unaware of the approachingl
danger until up in the day Wednes-j
day morning, owing to the general]
appearance of the weather. There)
was a stiff breeze blowing, but the |
sun was shining and no one dreamed
that trouble was near, » -
As soon as the wafer was discov-
ered on its way over the island the
alarm was given and the inhabitants
at once set about protecting them-
selves. There was no means of es-
cape, owing to the fact that there
are no boats at hand sufficiently
strong to stand a storm. Many of
the older citizens who went through
the trying ordeal of the storm of
1887 feared that there would be a
repetition of the havoc played at that
time, in which over one hundred lives
were lost in that section and many
were injured. The large tail trees
growing in the bayou country are
the greatest friends to the inhabitants
during a storm, as many people take
refuge in them. Many persons re-
siding in Orange today can attribute
the saving of their lives together
with their families to some tree yet
standing there.
