The Defrance residence pear the
corner Of Vermilion and Washing
ton streets, which is one Of the old
landmarks Of the town is being
demolished. The present owner of
the property, Louis Laporte, is hav-
ing the house torn down to make
room for a handsome cottage which
he will erect on the lot a little more
retired from the street. W. r.
Ellis is in charge Of the work and
will no doubt make a finished
job of it.
To give an idea of the fertility of
the soil of Vermilion parish and
demonstrate that it does pay to raise
corn here we will state that this year
Adam Boudreaux who lives on the
west side of the bayou a short dis.
lance below town obtained from
about an acre and a half Of land
some $50 worth Of produce. He
has sold corn to the amount of $25
and has ten or twelve dollars worth
on hand, besides having sold $14
worth of peas gathered off the same
land. This surely beats raising
cotton.

fects would enable him to do good
work for the county.
For use and abuse at the primaries
today the chairman of the sewer COM
mittee has been furnished the name
and residence of every man employed
on sewer work. They are all expected
to be Republicans today and to cast
their votes wherever their bosses die
tate. But will they?
Mr.. Newman and his friends need to
be wary and watchfui. His most dam
gerous opposition comes from men who
pretend to be his Jealous supporters
and yet at the same time are intimately
associated with the elements most in
imical to his candidacy. If the plans
of his new found friends succeed, next
Saturday will be Cole day for Tom.
1t is well for Republicans who have
at heart the good of the party and the
welfare of the city to remember that
desperation is sometimes as powerful
an inspirer as genius" and that if they
wish to set the seal of their condemna-
ton upon the methods of the Kingdom
ring and prevent it from securing a
new lease of its rapidly languishing life
they should do some effective work at
the primaries today.

New Litigation

Nanny +. j. Gibbs, of New What
com, by her attorney, John r. Critics,
yesterday filed with the clerk of the
superior court a complaint i'm which she
prays for legal separation from her hus-
band, Morris H. Gibbs, on the ground
of cruelty and non-support. The de-
fendant, the complaint alleges, is now
prospecting in the mountains, having
left the plaintiff with only S6in money.
The plaintiff also alleges that defend
ant has treated her with great cruelty,
and frequently charged her with wan
ton infidelity, for the purpose of griev-
ing her.
The case of the State VS.. VIM. Dupen,
bound over by Justice Walrath, oi
Sumas precinct, on a charge of resisting

"What profiteth it man If he gain

In one respect "the Dakota contin-
gent" are like Cinnamon. They have
a great liking for Rice,
There ought to be some protection at
the polls against such intimidation as
the ring proposes to practice on the
sewer workmen.
A facetious Democrat says that the
Republicans will have three tickets In
the field at the primaries today, viz:
1.-THE Respectables, the Wire-pullers
and the Dakota Contingent"
The combination have carefully
planned to pack the primaries. If
their scheme succeeds the vote cast
will exceed the total number of quail
fled Republican electors in the city.

Fairhaven has blossomed sosuddenly
in the wilderness that it is no wonder
bears and cougars occasionally make
mistakes and, through force of habit,
wander over old Dan Harris ranch
just as they did before it was plated.
Last Thursday night Henry Engberg,
who lives on Harris avenue near
Twenty-first street, went out to see
what his dog was worrying about.
Just then three men came up with
rifles and asked him If he had seen a
bear, but he had not and they went
away. Mr.. Engberg quieted the agi.
tated nerves Of the dog and went back
into the house. He had not been there
long before the dog recommended his
barking, and so persistent and vigor-
Gus was he that he brought Mr.. Eng
berg again TO his assistance. AS lac
was passing through the back yard a
bear suddenly sprang over the rear
fence and disappeared In the darkness.
Moral: Don't go into your back yard
al night without a gun.

False Smallpox Alarm

Considerable excitement for a time
was caused yesterday by the report
that Councilman Taylor, of New What
com, was sick Of smallpox. The cause
of Mr.. Taylor's illness is a severe attack
of vaccinia, or in other words the
operation of vaccination which he un.
derwent a few days ago is working like
a charm. He has all the symptoms of
smallpox save the eruptiOns and is a
sicker man than any of the patients
that have had the sure enough small
pox. He is attended by DIR. Birney,
and is not in any danger.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
Being a resident and taxpayer of the
city residing in that part known as the
Bay View addition, would like,
through your columns, to call the city
authorities attention to O very often

vicinity, which is no less than the
slaughter house. II Is not only nui-

jeopardizing the health of a great
many of the residents of Happy Valley
who are obliged TO use the water of the
creek which crosses Donovan avenue,
near Thirtieth street, and courses down
through Mr.. Connelly's field and
empties into Padden creek. A sluice
way has been arranged which conveys
all wash aud debris from the house
into the creek, which is also offensive
to pedestrians travelling on Donovan
avenue, as 1t all runs down the ditch
by the side Of the road. When we
were induced 10 buy property there il
was with the understanding that the
slaughter business would be discontln-
ued as soon as the people would begin
to settle, but, to the contrary, IL has
been continued at intervals ever since
until patience has ceased TO be virtue
with the most of the people in that
vicinity. CITIZEN.
