Ernest Martins, about 60 years ofage, suicided last Wednesday by tak-ing muratic acid. The deed wasdone about 6 o'clock in the evening,when he was discovered and Dr. War-ren called in. The stomach pump wasapplied and necessary treatmentgiven, but he died at 12:15 Thursdayafternoon. He was a consumptiveand had not vitality enough to over-come the effects of the powerful acid.His sister-in-law, Mrs. Paul Schrei-ber, was 'phoned to in New Orleansand arrived on Thursday, with Mr.Martins' 12-year-old daughter. Thebody was embalmed by Poole Bros.and taken to New Orleans for burial.Despondency is said to have been thecause of the suicide.

Price Boltless JointThe Farmer had the pleasure thisweek of a visit from Mr. EdwardWunderlich, from Claiborne. Mr.

Wunderlich is stopping with his fam-ily at his beautifil villa "Ebeleden,"on the Military Road.

After discussing other topics, Mr.Wunderlich gave us a very interestinginterview on the subject of "ThePrice Boltless Rail Joint," a model ofwhich he has on exhibition at Wat-kins' drug store.

Asked about the invention, Mr.Wunderlich said;

"The Price boltless Rail Joint is anew departure in the way of rail fast-ening. It is the only solution to aproblem which has vexed railroad menfor the past generation. Up to thepresent time nothing has been offeredon the market which would relieve themaintenance department of everyrailroad from the distressing tendencyof all bolted joints to work loose afterinstallation. The bolt, which is ap-parently one of the essential andindispensable elements of every fast-ening of this character, has, as amatter of fact, been one of its mosttroublesome as well as expensivefeatures.

In order to have a device employingthis means of securing the rails to-gether to be reliable it has been aquestion of practically suspending thelaws of nature. No bolt has everbeen and, I feel conficent in saying,ever will be invented which will notexpand or contract when subjected toconstant exposure to the weather.There is no way of obviating this. Itis true that operatingon the principleof the screw it would seem, from amechanical standpoint, that whenthese things are sufficiently tightenedthey would remain so permanently ;but, as I have said, we have yet tosee some one who can succeed in ac-complishing this. When we look tothe effects of the elements in thisdirection, and take that in conjunc-tion with the rebound of the drivingwheel of a passing locomotive, wewill see that a gradual separation ofthe parts is the only result to be an-ticipated. After the bolts have loos-ened, all the dangers of a high or alow joint-the menace to safety con-sequent upon the opportunity thusgiven for the fish plates and anglebars (thereby given latitude to move)to split or crack-are to be expected.

Mr. Price's joint, on the contrary,is one that eliminates the bolt entirelyand provides a fastening which is heldtogether by wedges instead. Thesewedges, when properly adjusted, cannot move of themselves; nor can theybe moved by the action of the trainor traffic which might be upon theroad. His joint comprises absolutelyno frictional parts. Once it is in-stalled it is bound to remain in thesame position and degree of tightnessperennially regardless of weather orclimatic conditions. I might even gofurther than this, and state that theaction of the traffic over the railscould only serve, contrary to whatmight be supposed, to tighten it. Thedevice, in all its constituent parts andelements, is exceedingly simple. Itssimplicity I consider one of its princi-pal merits. It is so arranged andconstituted as to appeal in its effi-ciency, not only to those conversantwith such matters, but also to thegeneral public unfamiliar with thetechnical requisites of railroad con-struction.

I intend to make this company,which is to manufacture this joint, athing for the people. It will be theonly enterprise of the sort in theSouth, and I wish that every one willbe given a full chance to benefit by it.It is to be something which will prp-vide a safer means of transportationfor the public, and at the same timefurnish a generous profit for all thosewho see the wisdom of investing in it.

I have the model on exhibition atMr. Watkins' drug store, and I haveasked Mr. Watkins to give all thosewho drsire an explanation or demon-stration of the workings of the devicehis most courteous attention.

A Satisfied Newcomer.Mr. Gus Oertling, in answer to a

query by the representative of theFarmer, stated that it gave him thegreatest satisfaction and pleasure tosay that he was greatly pleased atthe treatment accorded by the con-tractors he came in contact with inthe erection of his summer home,Vernas Heim, in Alexiusville.

Mr. Chas. V. Quave was his builder,and completed same on the date heagreed; in fact, it was one of thequickest jobs on record in the parish.The contract was signed April 2 lastand the building was completed July1, 1908. Mr. Oertling spoke in thehighest terms of our following towns-men: C. V. Quave, builder; F. C.Loret, plumber; W. H. Hatchell,painter; Emile Segond, artisian welldriver; Alexius Bros. & Co., builders'supplies. "These firms should be suc-cessful if fair treatment counts foranything in your glorious parish(God's country') he said.

July 3,1908, ELIZABETH THOMAS,aged 27 years, beloved wife of HenryThomas, and daughter of Mr. andMrs. George Koepp.

Our once happy home was suddenlyplunged into sadness by the death ofour beloved sister.

How noisreessly the Death Angeldescended in our midst and rudelysnatchlt1her from our bosom and thetoils of life to everlasting rest.

Only her body, slumbering in thycasket home, remains on earth, forwell do we know her soul has risen tothat bright and beautiful home Godhas prepared for her.

Oh ! what a deep and heavy shadowher death has cast upon us, the va-cant place in our despairing heart andhome can never be refilled.

But God in His wisdom has receivedher with outstretched arms, and thereshe will reign with Him forever.

A precious one from us is goneA voice we loved is stilled,

A place is vacant in our home,Which never can be refilled.

God in His wisdom has recalledThe boon His love had given;

Though her body moulders here,Her soul is saved in Heaven.

Denies That it is So,Sun, La,, Fifth Ward, July 15, 1906.

In answer to a statement of Rev. T. A. Petersat Covington, La., at the St. Tammany ParishProhibition meeting. held there a few daysago. We ncticed that Mr. Peters stated at themeeting that there had been twenty men mur-dered in the Fifth Ward in the last eighteenmonths ; which statement we can utterly de-nounce from our own personal observation :and we have consulted some of the oldest menof the ward, and they say that there has notbeen five men murdered in the Fifth Ward inthe last fifty years.

So we are glad to denounce the statementof Rev. Peters, and think he must have for-gotten that the commandment says : Thoushalt not lie.

We like Mr. Peters, and are in favor of strictprohibition, if prohibition will keep out thewhiskey : but we are not in favor of utter-ances being made that are more degradingto the ward than the whiskey traffic.

We are aware of the fact that whiskey is verydegrading to any commUnity, and we declarethat if a man has not got self will enoughabout himself to let the whiskey alone, thathe is not of any real value to the communityany way; ;and we realize the fact that weneed al. the spiritual teaching that it is possi-ble for people to have, but we do not realizethat we need Rev. Peters to preside over ourpoiltical questions, or dictate to us what wemust do with the prohibition question. as wehired him fora teacher, not a Politician.

And if he will just preach and teach, we willtry and manage all the political affairs, and lethim cast the decisive vote if he has registeredand paid his poll tax.

We will admit that there have been two menkilled in the Fifth Ward ; but from the bestinformation we can obtain women were thedirect cause.

Three years ago, we are sorry to say, in thislittle neck of the Fifth Ward, we had thirteenblind tigers, no school or church ; but plentyof summonses and trips to Covington to court.but no bills found.

Two years ago we held an election and car-ried the ward, To-day we have a good school,a good church and a good Sunday school

Of couase. we do not say that the open barsand the whiskey advocates were the directcause of ehe step up. but we do say they werevery instrumental.
