Resolved, That while, with sorrowing

the least possible bulk.
The advantage of this is obvious. A
patient already greatly weakened by dis
ease, needs to husband every particle of
strength. A few drops of Bovinine will
lmpart as much nourishment to the BODY
as would be derived by a we'll person
from an ordinary meal; and, in getting
this nourishment, the stomach has been
forced to do the least possible amount of
work.
Bovinine, continued throughout an ILL
ness, greatly hastens recovery. Taken
at the beginning of wasting disease, it
dlverts the cause of the trouble by toning
up the various organs, and getting them
in normal condition.
Bovinine is indorsed by 25, 900 doctors.
Its action is always beneficial, as a single
trial will convince the most sceptical.

FLED LIKE DEER.
Tramps Terrorized by Firearms on
WaterviIIe Road.
They Discovered That Their Presence and
Company Was Not Wanted.

frequently people are criticised for
keeping in their houses revolvers, guns and
other weapons which often seem entirely
not only useless but menace to the house
hold, especially if it numbers any children
among its members. There are two gentle
men residing on the east side of the river
however, who are firm believers in the old
adage that the best way to preserve peace
is to prepare for war. Their names are
Selden B. Worthley and Mr.. Handy, each
of whom had quite thrilling experiences
with tramps the other evening, and it
was by the use or rather display of shot
gun and revolver that the dead beats
were convinced that their absence would
be the best surety of safety, and fled.
Mr.. Worthley resides about mile
above Pettingill's Corner and the other
evening he heard gentle knock upon the
door, to which he responded and was in
yited to step outside the door, Now, Mr.
Worthley had retired and being called up
in this manner made him suspect danger,
SO just before stepping outside the door
he took his loaded shot gun and what
should he see but three men, rough and
ragged. They saw the gun and two took
to their heels, while the boldest said that
he would remain until he got good and
ready to leave, but when he had an oppor-
tunity, unsolicited and unexpected, to
gaze down the barrel of that gun he also
moved away at very rapid pace.
Mr.. Handy's experience was different
but he was also obliged to instil little
wholesome terror into the heart of the
unwelcome visitor before he took leave
A man came to his house and asked for
supper, which he received and after
getting outside a large portion of the feast
spread before him he announced that he
intended to stay all night, but after some
parley Mr.. Handy produced a nickle
plated revolver, the gleam of which
led the intruder to conclude that dis
cretion was the better part of valor and
he soon left an unoccupied seat in that
house.
A man called at Arthur Coss' home
the same night and finding that the men
folks were in, in answer to question
which he asked, he said that he must
have made a mistake in the house, but the
manner in which he spoke aroused sus.
picion.
1t was on the main road between here
and Waterville that these places were
visited by the tramps and quite near Au-
gusta at that An officer of the police
force informed journal man that
tramps are increasing in this city. 1t
was only the other morning when eight
of these don't 't-want to-work, live-and-go-
easy specimens of humanity were turned
out of the police station to do the walk
ing act to some other police station to
pass the night and get free breakfast.

)PELOUSAS, LA, SATURDAY, JANUARY g. 1894.

There was wedding and ball at
the residence of Mr.. Acdoelle Fon-
tenot, in Faquetaique, on Thursday
night of last week, at which large
number of the country folk were
present, among them being Mr.. O.
Lafeur, a we'll -to-do farmer of that
neighborhood. Late in the night,
when the festivities of the occasion
were in full blast, Mr.. l.. retired TO
one of the bed chambers to secure a
little rest, having been preceded by
several Others bent on a like mission.
He slept the sleep of the just, for he
did not awaken until morning. He
awoke, however, to the realization of
the fact that his purse which contain
ed the handsome sum of over $500
was missing. Inquiry developed the
fact that one Olin Young, a young
man about "a years of age, had slept
on the bed alongside Of him, Mr.. L.
made an affidavit before Justice
Courville, who issued a search wa ;
rant, and in company with Constable
Fusilier proceeded to the residence of
Young's father, where he was found
and searched and the money found
in his possession. He was brought
before Justice Courville and confessed
to the theft, claiming that he found
the purse on the bed, and not know
ing for whom it was, took it. His
conscience may, perhaps, be resting
easier for having made clean breast
of it but his chances for visit to
the penitentiary are by no means un-
certain.
Mr.. Lafieur can consider himself
fortunate in having been able to so
soon recover his money-a little
on the part of Young
would have baffied detection, for a
good while at least.

happened last week, and as result
Leon Mistric, resident of the Teche
who bears an unenviable reputation,
now enjoys the hospitality OF our
parish hotel, on charge of theft.
Louis Marks is a peaceable, inoffen-
sive citizen of the same neighborhood.
and possesses a wife whose regard for
the sanetity of the matrimonial rela-,
ton is said to be rather weak-so
much SO that it was repor-
ted that Mistric was her devoted par
amour. Rumor, it seems, was not
wrong, for one day early last week,
Marks found his wife and several
hundred dollars in cash missing. Af-
ter robbing her husband she and Mis-
trio left on pleasure trip for the
Crescent City, where they spent sew
eral days. On their return they
stopped at New Iberia. and on Il e
following morning Mrs. Marks found
her chevalier and the stolen money
missing. She boarded the train, and
on reaching Opelousas Immediately
made an affidavit against him, charg-
ing him with the theft. Officer Will
liams Immediately repaired to the
residence of Mistric, on the Teche,
armed with search warrant, and
found him preparing to leave. He
had over $130 of the money on him.
He is now in a place where he can
mediate on the frailty of woman and
mans duplicity, while the outraged
husband VOWS vengeance on the des-
troyer of his domestic happiness.
Mistric was indicted for larceny at
the last term of the district court,
but the case did not come up for trial.
