The PARL0R CITY, MONROE,
4le Next Place TO Entertain the Great
Council (Grand Lodge Of One Of
The Ngblest Benevolent III
StitltioDs Ever Or
ganiZGd.

Last Monday and Tuesday were
big days for the Improved Order of
Red Men of Louisiana, as the Great
Council was held in our city on those
days
In all our land there is no secret
order superior to that of the In
proved Order Of Red Men. The
writer has crossed the threshold of
many a lodge room; has passed
through the ceremonies of many
secret organizations; has been taught
the mysteries and doctrines of the
best that civilization has accorded a
place IN her domain, that history has
spoken of; and none there are whose
teachings appeal more to the noblest
sentiments of mankind; whose doc
trine advocates that superior order Of
fraternity which Nature transmits to
creation, with God, the Father, as the
sublime instructor.
An unusual amount Of business
was transacted at this session, and it
was one of the most interesting pow
vows that has been held in years.
The representatives from the differ
ent tribes seemed to have imblbed
fresh zeal and renewed enthusiasm,
and all seemed anxious to use his
!. best individual effort to put the order
\ on a higher and more advanced plane
"A + \
A new feature, just added, was the
Endorsement by this Great Council of
q life insurance company, which is a
matter Of great interest to the aver
age man-especially to the one who
has those on him depending for sup
port, and without whose aid would
be left to the mercles of the harsh
and cruel world.
Many pleasing incidents took place,
and in good humor; but, with bust
ness as the main incentive, the big
chiefs transacted the business of the
council. The Improved Order of Red
Men are a jovial set Of fellows, and,
unlike their primitive brethren, they
enjoy a joke and love to perpetrate
one, as long as it does not transform
their proceedings into farce.
One Of the most Interesting features
of the Council was the presentment
to Mr.. George W. Phillips of beau,
tiful gold-headed cane by the mem
bers of Ouachita Tribe The cane was
delivered by MIR. Michel Bernstein
IN most appropriate speech that was
neatly put. defining sentiment that
WAS fraternal and lofty.
Bro. Phillips is not member of
Ouacbita Tribe, but while stationed
near the city of Monroe he rendered
valuable services to the members Of
Ouachita Tribe, then quite young anG
inexperienced. He replied quite
feelingly, showing that the matter
was surprise to him.
The next Great Council will b.
held in the city of Monroe in May o
next year, and already a big time il
anticipated. Ouachita Tribe is strons
numerically, and we'll advanced il
the teachings Of Red Manship, and Ii
an ronor to the order.

Council was honored with the pres

THE COURTS.
DISTRICT TEMPLE.

Since Court adjourned Monday
there has been a solemn qnietude
around the parish temple of justice,
Interrupted enthusiastically by
some struggling constable having in
custody a thoughtless son of Ham
who was suffering from absent
Kindness, and appropriated to his
own use another's chicken, hog or
something small.
Deputy Walters is gettin rusty al
ready; Col. Ward is inclined to I've
blue; MIR. Alexander toys with the
keys in a yearning manner, while
Col. Young, the sheriff, declares that
dog days have come powerful soon.
Our district attorney was found in
his private office practicingon his next
speech when be gets hold of a MUIR
der case, but was non-committal on
the signs of the times.
Clerk Leonard says he don't care
whether school keeps or not, as he
can go up to ''Jeems" bayou and fish
for living.
Judge Boney doesn't seem to take
such light view of matters, but says
he will stick it out; ready to issue 4
marriage license or al attachment.
DR.. Kendall says it is all in a life
time anyway, and he will manage to
wade through some how. and will
get out abstracts just to play JOKE
on the conveyance books.
Judge Land is good-natured as
usual, but refuses to talk; he says
the outlook and conditions are too
uncertain.
The police jury room is always
cozy and attractive. But that ia to
be expected as it is occupied by a
clerk who knows how, and she never
fails to put her tact to use. Mrs.
Duringer is not only the best clerk
the jury mas ever had, but is also one
Of the most accommodating.
THE LESSER TRIBUNALS.
Justice Hunsicker says he had nc
idea that things ever got 80 dull with
3he j. P.'s. He said he used to read
the newspaper talk about the snor-
nous expense that these courts were
putting tie parish to, and he thought
they certainly must be making for
tunes. He has found out though
that these reports were like some the
papers gave out about politics; con
siderably onssrten. Hank Kelly,the
bailiff Of this tribunal, was seen il
connection with business in his line
bnt his face wore look Of intense
disgust
Judge Tomkies was found in hi
shirt sleeves half asleep, and seemed
to wish he WAS altogether SO. HI
looked up at our roundsman in hal
lazy tone and suggested tina, both g

in and said all might as we'll 60 on

Justice Hicks looked as ugly an(
savage as usual, and when the report
or call in he looked at him in hungr!
way and wanted to know-eagerly-
, if he wanted to have some one pu
under peace bond? No, said tn

UNDER THREAT OF DEATH.
That is Why rlary Sheehan Says She
Gave john Deed.

An unusual complaint was filed in
the office of the County Clerk yesterday
by Mary Sheehan against John Shee-
han.
The complaint alleges that the plain
tiff and defendant were married on
May 81, 1886, she being the widow of
William Herlihy, deceased, and resi-
dent of San Joaquin County After
Herlihy'S death his estate in this coun-
ty, consisting of the northeast quarter
of section II, in township north,
range east, was distributed to her
by the Superior Court and was her own
separate estate and property.
After her marriage to Sheehan, she
alleges, he commenced a systematic
course of cruelty and intimidation to-
ward her, which eliminated on
August 21th in a threat to kill her if
she did not convey the property to him,
and she being afraid that he would
carry out his threat unless she COM
piled with his demand, and being over
40 years Of age, decided him the prop
erty without consideration in order to
save her life.
She now asks that it be decreed that
the deed was eXtorted from her while
acting under her fears of his threats,
and without consideration, and that it
be vacated and set aside, and she be
declared the owner of the property.

Concerning Bannon Slough.

Eds. Record Union: Has any one
right to place a fence across the mouth
of Bannon Slough?
Can a so-called special officer pro-
hiblt boats from going up said slough?
II so, why did the county build pub
lie bridge across the slough if it is pri-
Vate property?
The writer has spoken to several peo-
pie upon this subject and all seem to
think that no one has the right to pre-
vent boat going up the stream. 1t is
not like lake; it has always been open
to the boating and fishing public, and 1t
seems rather late in the day to fence
it in.
On Sunday, September 18th, l and
several ladies and gentlemen were out
in our boats and pulled up to the mouth
of the slough Cfor the purpose Of catch
ing the wary catfish), and there we were
brought TO a stop by man who called
himself a special" OF what variety
he did not state, but from his rawlings
we concluded it must be the fish vari-
ETY.. He said that if we dared to push
our boat under the wire fence he would

INDUSTRIAL IMPROVEMENT.
Important Meeting Of the Note-SignerS
Tonight.
A Proposition to Subscribe Some
of the Funds of the
Association.

Ihe directors of the Industrial I'm
provement Association of this city have
called special meeting of the members
to be held al Pythian Castle this even
ing, at $50 o'clock. The announced OBJ
iect OF tie meeting is to consider the ad-
visibility of subscribing a certain por-
ton or the resources of the association,
represented by subscription notes of it's
members, for bonds Of the Sacramento,
falr oaks and Orangevale Railroad. 1t
IS desirable that there be a full attend
ance OF the note-signerS, though the no
tlce given of the meeting is SO short
that many who would like to be present
nave made other engagements and will
not be able to attend
An effort was made yesterday to as
certain just what proposition was to be
presented to the meeting, but the Sec
retary was absent from the city and
other officers We're reticent. 1t is stated,
however, that some favor subscribing
the funds now on hand, some $1,000, to
the bonds of the railroad, and contin-
uing the regular work OF the asSocia-
ton IN the future; others suggest col
lecting in another 10 per cent. on the
notes for the purpose of aiding the rail-
road, and then returning cancelled all
the notes, and disincorporating the as
sociation. In this way the signers would
be relieved from further payment of the
greater proportion of the notes held
against them.
1t is said that several of the directors
and members of the association favor
this plan, While on the other hand there
are great many who express them
selves as being utterly opposed to it..
They claim that they gave their notes to
secure the establishment of factories in
claim that they gave their notes to Sc
cure the establishment of factories in
this city, and say they do not propose to
contribute towards booming outside
colonies. These hold that it is not in
the power Of the association to levy an
assessment on the note-Signers for any
other purpose than that for which the
notes We're given. They also say that if
a road to Fair Oaks and Orangevale will
pay there will be no difficulty in getting
capitalists to invest their money in it.
Judging by the expressions heard on
the streets yesterday the meeting to-
night is likely to be a spirited one, and
at all events those who have signed
notes should attend, if possible, and
look after their own interests.
