Twenty Dunkarels Will, an r..


Last year q party of twenty-five
Dunkards was en- route to the General
Conference. via st. Louis. No agent
accompanied them, and telegram was
sent to Union Depot Passenger Agent
Bonner to meet twenty Dunkards"
The religious education of the tele-
graph operator who received the mes
sage had been neglected. He had
never heard Of the Dunlards, and, sup
posing mistake had been made, he
just inserted the letter e." and when
Bonner received the message. it read
"Meet No. 4. Twenty drunkards aboard.
Look after them"
Bonner was somewhat taken aback.
He did not know but that an enebriate
asylum had broken loose, but any way
prompt action was necessary. The
twenty drunkards must be desperate
men or the dispatch would not have
been sent, and murder might have been
committed on the road.
Bonner posted off to police head
quarters, and his story did not lose in
the telling. The Chief of Police, alive
to the eAigencies of the situation, made
special detail of ten policemen and o
patrol wagon.
The policemen were drawn up in
line at the depot, and intense excite
ment prevailed among the numerous
depot loungers, a rumor having gained
currency that desperate bandiof train
robbers was ON the incoming train.
In due time the train arrived, but no
party or registering drunkards alighted.
The party on the train was composed of
several pious-looking gentlemen with
broad-brimmed hats, who stood around
as though expecting some one.
Bonner approached one of them and
said interrogatively:
"Had any trouble on the road?"
mo BOTHER" said the gentleman,
"none that I know of. And now I'll
ask you question: Do you know
gentleman named Bonner?"
"Yes. am Mr.. Bonner" was the
answer.
well these brethren and myself are
Dunkards, and you were to meet us and
put us on the right train. Didn't you
get a telegram
Bonner was completely done for. He
excused himself, and, calling the SER
geant of police aside, he told him that
it was oil a mistake and he and his men
could go back to headquarters. Then
he disposed of his religious friends.
went around and cussed out the tele-
graph operator, after which he had to
set 'em up" for the whole police force
on the promise to keep mum. NASH

TIE LEG LSLATURE ADJOURNS.

The General Assembly adjourned
yesterday, after a most important SEES
sion.
The Legislature certainly deserves
to be congratulated on the good work
it has done. Ii has met all issues
bravely and remedied a great many
defects in our laws.
Undoubtedly the most important
work Of the General Assembly was to
call n constitutional convention for
the purpose of eliminating the totally
ignorant and undesirable in politics;
amt the second great act was to pass a
new election law.
EvelythiDg considered the present
Legislature has proven itself one Of
the best Louisiana has ever been
blessed with.
