Wife of W. 4. Mclean ; aged
= years. months and 5 days.
Death has invaded Il happy home
and bcreaved husband and eight
children arc left disconsolate to
mourn his intrusion.
Mrs. Mclean was truly an esti-
mable lady, and in her loss her
family has not only lost good
mother and faithful wife, but the
community has lost good chris
tan woman and useful member
of society.
Deceased was in her 43rd year,
was just old enough to sec her fam
lily of three boys and five girls
springing up to manhood and wOm-
anhood, when the dread destroyer
stepped in and left a vacant chair
around once happy fireside.
To her bereaved husband and
motherless children, our deepest
sympathy is extended in this, their
sad hour of bereavement.

TO the Editor of the POpulist

To the Editor of the POpulist:
Sir-After seeing the proceedings
of the Police Jury have conclu-
ded to send you a few of the SEN
timents of ward 3. We consider
that we are for fairness and justice,
and that only.
We congratulate MIR. Kilc upon
the honest vote he cast in giving
the cIerkship to the Populist, which
we believe eXOnerates him from
Ring rule.
We elected a police juror from
this ward, but he has not been selt-
ed. and now | wish to inform any
one aspiring for the position of
police Juror of this ward, that he
is seeking for an unenviable posi-
ton, for the edict has been dcclar-
ed and printed publicly, and now
any man that has the cheek to at
tempt to fill the position if APP
pointed by the Democrats certain
Iy is a very brave man, for the
people have declared that no one
shall serve if not elected, and they
still stand by this resolution.
The greatest trouble we have, or
the place it originates from is
from the chief Dictators in this
parish, of which there are about q,
and now fellow citizens, if we could
swap off five of these for yellow
dog and then kill the dog, you
could expect harmony in this par
ish, and not until something OF this
kind occurs can you expect any
political-IIarmony.
The people are waiting with
hopes that the court will soon take
action in the contest case, and set
tie the trouble in this parish. And
now the majority of the people
feel that they have made their last
appeal to civil Justice, the decision
has been left to the Courts, and
ample time given for a just con-
sideration of the case, and this de-
mand has not been made for bluff
or blow, but to exhaust all civil
and honorable means to obtain our
rights, which we want and must
have at all hazards.
We desire all friends for justice
to stand by us. d. Y

SUICIDED.
Mr.. l.. Rcnou Ends His Mortal
Career,

Monday morning the body Of q
man was found in Game river just
back of Tujaque's bakery, which
was soon recognized rs that of Mr..
l.. Renou. Every indication points
to suicide. His clothing and the
contents of his pockets were or
the bank beside him, a bullet hole
in his head, and u small revolver
told the tale too plainly.
Deceased came here about two
years ago and engaged in the gro.
Gerry business with Mr.. l.. Duplex
after short time his business was
closed out and he was forced upon
the world old and penniless.
The unfortunate man was adj
dicted to drinking, which may be
attributed largely to his failure to
keep up business.
Finally being poor, aged and des-
pondent, he sought the land OF
ever dreamless sleep thinking to
find a solace for the troubles which
were his in this world, he snapped
the silken cord of life and leaped
to meet the nameless terrors of the
great unknown. Peace be to his
soul.

Colonel Thos. ID. Boyd, Presi-
dent of the State Normal, has re-
signed his Office to take charge of
the State University at Baton
Rouge, La.
Colonel Boyd has been with us
a number of years ; has succeeded
by hard work and unfagging cner-
gy in raising the standard of the
Normal, and has made it one of the
best schools in the South.
We regret to see him leave, as
he was So thoroughly earnest in
striving TO conduct the school that
he seemed a part of it.
The Board met on Friday and
elected Prof. b. G. Caldwell to
succeed MIR. Boyd.
Mr.. Caldwell needs no introduce
ton to our people, having been
connected with the Normal for
quite a time.
We hope these gentlemen will
have the assistance of the patrons
of their respective Institutions to-
wards making them monuments of
learning to our State, and feel sure
that neither institution could have
secured more desirable instructors.

THOS. D. BOYD. President

The great army of middle men
may think they add to W. ,lth by
robbery of both the prolnccr and
the consumer.
Middle men never created one
penny of national wealth.
And so it goes with all classes of
business and professional men:
They are consumers of wealth, but
they DO not produce a cent.
All wealth being created by Ia
Dor, it follows that all of the debts
of government, national, state and
municipal, fall to the lot of labor
to pay. ,
An another important question
to be remembered is that the great
er the debts, the heavier tax and
the less labor derives in the way
of wages for producing wealth.
When the debts become sufficient
ly burdensOm then labor become a
condition of absolute slavery

CHALER, La, July II, 1896

EttltOr LOUISIANA IOpuIlSt
1t has been some timesince Chal-
er dots were last seen in your valu
able paper, so / take this opportu-
nifty of informing its readers of
The goings on at and around this
place.
The farmers here are very much
disheartened by the present condi-
ton of the crops, bat like true
christians they bear their burdens
and complain not.
Again another Fourth of July
has come and gone, and with it
has been renewed that feeling
which is ever present in the hearts
of the American people. 1t is
pleasing to note that the good peo-
pie of Chalcr and Melrose, were
not behind others in honoring the
day which gave to them all that
they now are. At about nine a.
m. a large crowd assembled on the
high banks of oar beautiful sold
Cane" near MelrCse, where, in the
cool shadows of tall cotton trees,
the day was spent with much profit
rand pleasure. Too much credit
cannot be given to those who so
carefully prepared the elegant din
ner, as well as to those who were
so kind and thoughtful as to serve
iced lemonade all through the af-
ternoon. At night the young folks
met at the residence of Mr.. Jor-
don's, at Melrose, and enjoyed
themselves in different ways, prin-
clpally dancing, until the clock re-
minded them that II was Sunday.
On the night of the 3rd dance
was given at the residence of Mrs.
Rougec's, complimentary to the
visiting young ladies and gentle
mcn-Misses Cockiclds, Racial,
Jones, and Sutton, and Messrs.
Gillen, Fontenot, RACIAL, Morcou,
Cockfeld, NeeIand, Oneals, and
Burnstein. The music and refresh
ments were all that could be desir-
ed, and it was not until the sun
began to peep from behind the tree
tops that the crowd began to say
"Aurevoir, but not Good Bye, "
and to express their enjoyment OF
the reception.
While at Chaler, the Miss Cock
fields and Miss Racial were the
guests of the Miss Grimmers, where
they received much attention from
the friends of that hospitable home.
Several neat gatherings were given
in their honor by Miss Hefoise and
Miss Marie Grimmer, and it is
hardly necessary to say that they
were enjoyed by all present. Miss
Heloise is quite a favorite here and
one always feels at home and in
good spirit when in her company.
We were all glad to welcome
home Miss Marie Grimmer, after
an absence of several months in
Natchitoches, where she has been
attending the Convent. Miss Grim
mer is an accomplished young lady,
and her pleasant disposition ondears
her to all.
A crowd of young folks will
leave Chaler soon for Il camp at
Chopin's lake.
The many friends of Mr.. BENZ.
Boydstun are glad to learn of his
return from Ruston, where he has
been taking a special course in the
Industrial School.
The young folks stormed the
Miss Grimmers for a dance Satur-
day night.

from Robelinc, spent several days

The Democratic platform adopt
ed at Chicago, on the 9TH, does not
contain a single word about fair
elections. Perhaps if it did, it
wouldn't be Democratic.
1t does not reach quite as far as
the Shreveport platform of ''95",
as it contains a Cuban plank, and
the Shreveport one relative to
Venezula. The only redeeming
feature is a declaration of free sill
YER, which the party begins to off
set by running gold standard men
in many places for Congress.

paneled in a beautiful and intri-

up to harmonize with the rest of

Albert KoebeIe Tells About the Austria

tiRn LadYbug In Hawaii.
Professor Albert Koebele, the
man who brought the ladybugs
from Australia, China and Japan
to fight the scale insect pests of
the California orange and olive
orchards, returned to this country
on the steamship Alameda, says
the s. f. Call. He is to remain
here three weeks and at the ex-
piration of dat time he will re-
turn to Hawaii, where he is ex-
perimenting in the removal of the
pests from coffee and sugar plan
tations.
cat Hawaii - said the professor,
81 introduced the ladybug to kill
the scale insects that destroy the
coffee plants and the orange and
ornamental trees. The coffee in.
dustry was practically dead. 1t
was my agreement to remove the
pests in three years, and now, at
the end of two years, the work is
practically done.
"There is parasite that attacks
the sugar cane, too, and year
ago l introduced the ladybug on
some of the sugar plantations.
The results will be beneficial"
Professor Koebele has been
making extensive investigations
in China, Japan and Formosa.
He was in Japan at the time of
of the great Oriental war, and he
left Formosa only a week before
the rebellion broke out on the ISL
and.
"At Yokohama" continued the
scientist, 81 met a San Francisco
newspaper man, Edward Morphy.
He was there just before l sailed,
but he expected to start for New
York in about month. He pro.
posed to take voyage over the
Cape Horn route in sailing YES

In speaking OF the work that he
has laid out, Professor Koebele
said:
81 came here for visit and will
remain about three weeks. Then
l will return to Honolulu, where
l stayed a week on the way from
Japan, and at the end of three
months l will return to California.
"After my return 1 am to make
extensive Investigations in Mexico
