sible position as he does.
JOHN Lewis, a colored boy,
about 10 or IA years of age, was
jailed yesterday by Constable CAL
Wit, for stealing. From what vel
could learn, the circumstances con
nected with the case, seem to be
about as follows: One day last
week he tip-toed into the Eagle
Drug Store, at The corner of Second
and Murray streets, and whilst the
proprietor and employees we're in
the back room, went to the show
case where the cutlery is kept, and
stole therefrom two very fine pocket
knives, worth about SO a piece,
one Of which, after breaking the
point of, he sold to Henry Gibson,
a little white boy, for IS oents;-
the other he loaned out. Not being
caught up with in this instance, he
again determined to make another
raid, and consequently went again
the next day. This time he went
to the money drawer, Opened and
closed with a combination lock,
with a bell attached) and started to
open, pulling it to and fro so hard
that the bell rang out loud, which
caused his sudden exit. The little
colored boy who works at the shop
saw him as he left, and informed
Mr.. Geiger, who caused his arrest
yesterday.
Our LAST SAY.-The election
ordered by the Police Jury, to set
tie the question as regards the sale
of spirituous liquors in the different
Wards throughout the Parish, takes
place tomorrow. Each and every
individual who favors the total ab-
stinence of whiskey, or any of the
intoxicating beverages, should not
content himself with simply casting
his vote against license" but
should go to work and induce his
friend or neighbor to do as he dees.
This election, it will be remem-
bered, is the second of its kind that
has been held in Rapides. At the
first the whiskey men combined,
and with money and other inAuen-
ces that were brought to bear, car
ried their point, which meant the
future sale off all liquors here.
The many broils and calamites
which we have chronicled since,
and which, in great measure, were
brought abont by this curse, are
we'll known to our here, snd need
not to be repeated just now.
Our people, that is the we'll thin
king ones, thought that this condi-
ton Of things had gone far enough,
and concluded to act. This they
have done, and in this they purpose
10 carry their point. Tomorrow
they will 60 to the polls with strong
hearts and manly instincts, and do,
what they know and believe to be
for the benefit Of their Parish and
its people. They are not timid, or
in such a mood that they can be
coaxed, but are determined and
ready for the issue.
The w. G. T. T., q noble band
engaged in a noble cause, have
done and will do great work to-day.
Let us all fight for the same cause
| as they, and follow their banner as
one fold. The same leads, to hap
irsnnoo commandments aud ;n,,

Bishop, Of the Chicago police force,
and Aug. Scheufler, musical director
of the MINI. Sangerbund, were of the
party. The start was made from the
bridge, about 8 o'clock, and an hour

was the order, and more pleasant

Hospital Picnic "a S. Jacob . Hill

The beautygof the day and the worth.
meas Of the cause drew out An immense
conccurse Of people at the Hospital
Picnic last Monday.
At half past eleven. Immediately af-
ter the celebration Of High Mass, the
congregation Of the Catholic church
took their way 10 the new and tasty
grounds that had been prepared foI
their reception on the height Of ground
just above the Hospital building, and
during the entire day the number Of
visitors was augmented by the arrival
of pleasure seekers from the city and
from the country.
The Silver Cornet Band discoursed
music throughout the day from tho pa
CODA shaped stand that has recently
been erected.
Booths had been established in vari-
GUS places on the grounds and the
wants Of the patrons were abundantly
supplied. Dining tables were loaded
with the fat Of the land, only to be I'M
loaded. A shooting range for the test
of excellence in craftsmanship was
one Of the features, and prizes Of pre-
cious metal were the guerdon Of the
most skillful. Solicitous ladies be-
guiled You with smiles while they re-
duced your bank account in the pur-
chase of chances on various articles,
but you did not repine at the loss, for
it was expended in good cause, and
if you were gallant and unmarried you
returned the smiles while you secretly
reflected on the possibility Of getting
along without summer suit.
About four o'clock Mr.. Frank L.
Randall delivered an address upon the
Happiness Of the People, and was
we'll received. Afterwards Father Berg

the course Of his remarks dedicated the
grounds to St Jacob, in honor Of many

who bear the name of Jacob. He was
frequently applauded.
The exercises closed about the sup
per hour. and the receipts from all
sources were encouragingly large.
BY reason of the many advantages of
these grounds, it is not unlikely that in
the future they may be found very pop
ular for such festivities.

It. is to be deplored that more
stringent measures are not taken to
prevent horses from running at large.
A commendable effort has been made
on the part of many of our people to
beautify our city with shade trees,
planted alonglthe sidewalks. but in
too many cases the trees are ruined
before they have welt leaved out, by
some half starved horse tearing off
the branches. 1t is not pleasant
sensation to arise inithe morning to be
appraised that all the trees near the
the door.yard fences and along the
sidewalks--the outcome of years Of
care and t0il-have been ruined dur.
ing the night by horses running at
large. Those Of our people who take
pride in identifying the city, have .
right to demand that the ordinance
forbidding the running at large Of
horses, be more riggidly enforced.

We venture to say that everything
can not be all right with the New Ulm

tain individual of this town of having
been too scandulous on the streets one

coward to approach tho individual SO
as to make sure of his name. It is
most disgraceful to an officer of the
law to charge III innocent person with
a crime who has not even been in town
when such crime occurred. Somebody,
however, will make Mr.. NJ. responsible
for the illegal assertions he made to
certain New Ulm citizens. relating to
the above individual. .
