NO. 49,.


COLFAx, La, OcL. {, 1901.
Editor Collar Chronicle:
ask for small space in your paper,
but not for the purpose of answering any
of the sianderous or libelous charges
that certain parties have made against
the various school officials of the parish.
With the exception Of the action taken
before the last grand jury these matters
have received well-merited and silent
contempt.
i am not seeking newspaper ccntro-
versy, nor will l engage in one; but / de-
sire to correct an impression that may
be made by clause in the grand jury
report which il as follows:
"The amount allowed the parish super.
intendent for services rendered is far in
excess of the limits of the law"
This comment on the part of the grand
nation is apparent, and the incorrectness
Of the statement will be shown by the
facts of record, an extract OF which
present herewith:
The law allows the board to pay the
superintendent three hundred and TWEEN
ty-five dollars per annum (see school law
of 1894, secs. 80 and All. OF this amount
the present superintendent has never
hundred dollars per annum.
The warrants drawn in favor of the
superintendent from Dec. l, 1895, to Dec.
/, 1896, the time complained of are as
follows: Warrant No. 26, for S12, per
diem for Kelly, Craig, Smith. Richardson,
Hickman and Willbanks. Warrant No.
%, for S135 O6, for enumeration Of 4502
children at 3 cents per child, (see pro-
ceedings school board Jan. A, 1886, pri-
vate contract, by which the board saved
to the school fund about $1,000, yet miro
bile dictu, they were squandering the
school money. Warrant No. 40, for Sl5,
for experimenting institute for five days
at s. per day (see State school law 1894,
sec 61). Warrant No. 30, for Sl2, per diem
for Richardson, Kelly, Craig, Neal, Smith
and Willbanks. Warrant No. 80, SO 30.
for B. G. Caidwell's board at institute %,
for making chart rack 81 90, printing
textbook circular 81 80. Warrant No.
LIT, for S21 . for expenses attending SUI
perintendents convention at Ruston (see
State school law 1894. sec. 41(. Warrants
Nos. 70, 81. 100 aud l76, for fifty dollars
each. making two hundred dollars, super
intendants salary, (see State school law
1894, sec. 39).
BY an examination of the above war
rants. and all other warrants drawn
against the school fund, which are public
| property, it will be seen that the grand
jury was hasty and did not make the in
veetigation necessary to justify the criti-
cism offered.
Since my connection with the board
they have never allowed but one claim
| that they were not srpresslv authorised
| 70 do uudo1 No }nW. and that van Tor the
they are not forbidden to do this, and by
| paying e136 O6 they saved tho public
school fund about one thousand dollars,
and that cannot be construed into q
reckless expenditure Of public money.
At least, it does not appear 30 to me, and
as have the record In my possession
felt 1t was my duty to make this explana-
ton. Most respectfully,
j. A. WILLIIAMs.

That 1877 and other Matters.

That 1917 and Other Matters.
Mr.. ]. E. Dunn, editor of the
Demands, parish and school treas
urer, clerk of the police jury, ETC.,
ETC., has on several occasions claim
ed that the school fund was S377
short. In the Demands of last
week he says:
In regard to the controversy between
this journal and the school board off,
Gals and the CHRoNICLE, we have sub
mitted the matter to the grand jury, who
upon investigation, have caused the ex-
treasurer to pay into fund $50 Ii, and
ordered superintendent to draw district
error check FIR 1917 So, which extin-
cuisines the much-talked OF shortage
They also turned over the books to us,
and as we have yet had no time TO inves-
tigate, refrain from comment.
This is the matter which the school
board have wrestled with for the last
twelve months and failed to straighten
up. As to the pay of superintendent,
statement of the whole affair, and bears
no feeling or animus in the matter, and
personally like and respect the superin-
| tendent and the president; those gentle
men have seen fit to worry US to the edge
of law suit in school matters resting on
their official duty.
The school board fred Judge Richard
son, and a grand jury censured him for
the same offense the present incumbent
commits. The books show he drew on
his warrants, from Dec. '95, to Dec. '96,
s466 Sc. We are in error e134 and the
Major Sl41, 80 we apologize to him for
making his excuses too large. The mat
ter having been settled, we invite those
gentlemen to treat US right, and we guar
antee to do more than right.
So the grand jury sustains the
CHRONICLE and sits down ON the
Demands; yet Bro. Dunn coolly
publishes this refutation of his
charges, and has no word Of apollo
gy or explanation for the gross H.
justice he has done. He does not
even have the fairness to state that
the grand jury returned to Mr..
Mcknight his check for $64 30,
and allowed him to settle at the
smaller figure of $50 Is. He says
he refrains from comment yet goes
off into senseless, unfounded and
abusive criticism of the school
board, its president and the super
intendent of public schools, ingen-
iously admits he is $I34 in error,
and, coupling the two wrongs to.
gether, he seeks to justify bis IN
founded and unjust criticisms BY
protesting 9 kindness and respect
that everybody believes to be mere
assumption.

Board adjourned until 2 p. m.
At 2 D. m. board convened.


The committee reported some
error in the treasurer's report, and
r. s. Cameron was appointed to
call upon Mr.. Dunn and request
him to come before the board and
correct the treasurer's report.
The report as corrected was re-
|ceived and ordered Published
Resolved, That the sheriff be
urged to collect the poll tax in ac-
cordance with a late opinion of the
attorney general, recognizing the
poll tax as being lien on all grow
ing crops, and that he proceed at
once to collect the same in accord
ance with the opinion. Adopted.
The following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, at the last meeting of
the board twenty-five dollars were
appropriated to j. E. Dunn, treas
urer, provided that he could show
that G. III. Mcknight, the retiring
treasurer, was indebted to the
school fund in the sum of $377 90,
as claimed by the said Dunn, pro-
vided that he would make his re-
port by the October meeting OF
this board; and
Whereas, two most competent
accountants, r. s. Cameron and j.
@. Long, have given the matter
their investigation and find that
the charge made by Dunn is un-
true, and that the grand jurors of
the parish of Grant have given the
matter an investigation and find
that Mcknight does not owe the
amount claimed by Dunn, but agree
with Cameron and Long and have
ordered settlement made accord
ingly; therefore, be it
Resolved, by the school board of
Grant parish, La, That the charg-
es made by Dunn against Nc
Knight are without foundation;
that the settlement of the contro-
versy as made by the grand jury
be approved; that G.. II. Mcknight
be honorably discharged from any
obligation to the school board as
former treasurer and that he have
his quietus.
That j. e. Dunn having failed
to comply with the terms of the
proposition made him three months
ago, or made any attempt to do 30
that the same be now withdrawn
Adopted.
There being no further business
before the board it adjourned unit
the next regular meeting, the frs
Saturday in January, 1898.

SINGING CAUSES HER DEATH.
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, the Talented
Singer, Expires While on
the Stage.

Waterloo, Iowa, Jan. 11.-County
Clerk Il. d. Williams yesterday re-
ceived notice of the tragic death of
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, at Bingham.
ton, N. Y. She was singing before
an audience, and, in reaching the
high notes Tor which her voice was
famous, the jugular vein in her
throat burst, and she bled to death
on the stage before her hearers.
Miss Yaw was able to reach the
highest note of any cantatrice in
the world, which was due to a pecu-
liar formation of her throat. In
straining to reach this note mus
cles in her throat were pressed
against the jugular vein and iniur-
ed this by abrasion until the mem
brane WAS worn through, causing
hemorrhage, She had been warn
ed by the best vocal masters that
the result would be so if she per-
sisted in singing so high, but the
warning was not needed. MISS
Yaw was born in Boston, Erie
county, N, Y, and was about 80
years OF age.
