After taking on a cargo of about 30,000 crossties consigned by the Baker-Wakefield Cypress Company, of Plattenville, to a Mexican railroad concern at Vera Cruz, the Mexican steamship "Oaxaca" cleared from this port yesterday afternoon and will sail direct toVeraCruz.

is not only the first ocean-going vessel to be loaded at this -point. but is the first vessel loaded on the Mississippi river above New Orleans clearing direct for a foreign port. Donaldsonville being outside the jurisdiction of the customs of the port of New Orleans, it was necessary to obtain special permission from the United States government for the "Oaxaca" to come to this city and take on a cargo, and clear direct from here for Vera Cruz. When the vessel passed through New Orleans last week on her way to Donaldsonville she was boarded by a customs inspector, whose duty it was to see that the United States internal revet.ue laws were not violated during the stay of the steamship in this port. The "Oaxaca" was loaded at the deepwater loading station of the West Kentucky Coal Company, just above the city.

All of the work in way connected with placing the cargo aboard the vessel was done by local carpenters and laborers, under the supervision of a stevedore from New Orleans. In addition to her inside cargo, the "Oaxaca" took on a deckload of'ties, being loaded to her maximum capacity. Northern Farmers Coming.Next Week.

Whispering winds sing their requiems as he rests, his labors are over, life's fitful fever ended and the heart throbs of his Brothers, attuned in Freedom, Friendship and Charity, beat in sympathetic unison with the bereaved and griefbowed loved ones. In life he was an exemplar of the highest type of true American citizenship )f filled with the milk of human kindness with universal love for his fellow men; like the time dial marking only sunlit hours, he stood a beacon light in Redmanship, challenging the 2, admiration of the paleface nation and furnishing a worthy example for emulation by the members of this order wherever in life their lines may fall. to Upon those swept by the dusky pinions of the angel dark and dread, shutting out the sweet presence so dear to their sight, the benediction of Kishe Manitou is implored and the unfailing Y- finger of time is invoked in healing the poignant pain from the wound of sore affliction.

Brother! Rest in peace! Thy name is enid graved upon the tablets of love, enshrined in the hearts of your fellow Red Men, and the ceaseless come and go of the seasons will find the impress ua undimmed in the memories of those with whom in life you walked, touching elbow to elbow in fraternal communion. r- incerely submitted in F. and R.
