National Building Trades.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 21.-The National Build
ing Trades Council was permanently or
ganized to-day. The delegates deeply resent
the alleged unseemly action of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in condemning the
object of their meeting, and with the appar
ent idea of meeting the Federation on
common footing they have decided to hold
the next annual meeting in Kansas City in
December, 1898, one week before the meet
ing of the American Federation of Labor
in the same city. Officers were elected as
follows: President. Edward Carroll, Chica-
go; vice presidents Theodore s. Jones, Kan
saS City; J. p. Healy, Washington A. ].
Franz and j. f. Harvey Milwaukee, NJ. p.
Carrlck, Pttsburg; c. S. Leveling, East st.
Louis; secretary and treasurer w. III. Stein
bliss, St. Louis. Mr.. Steinbiss was unani-
mously Endorsed for the position of indus
trial commissioner to be appointed by Presi-
dent Mckinley. The position, however, must
first be created. All the labor unions are
endeavOring to have a bill passed in Con-
gress appointing an industrial commission,
which body will adjust difficulties between
capital and labor.
A petition was forwarded to Secretary
Lyman j. Gage, of the Treasury Depart
ment, asking him that when the contract
for the construction of the new government
building at Chicago is let an adequate pro-
vision be inserted for the use of material
produced by the State of Illinois as far as
practicable, and also that the labor unions
Of Chicago be employed on the building.

ABBEvILLE, La, Oct. is, 1897
To the Hon. PreJident and Members
Of the School Board Of Vermilion
parish. GENTLEMEN:
Your committe appointed to iri--
yestjgate the matter Of establishing
school at Bayou Tigfe, 2d ward,
Of this parish big leave to report:
Tbat we went 10 that neighbor-
hood and examined the distances
from that point to the adjacent
schools in that ward. We found
Bayou Tigre Bridge about three
miles from the Thibodaux school
and about two miles from lie Del
cambre school. We have to say
that the poiut at which the new
school is sought to be esta biished is
tile center Of quite thiekly popn,
lated community and that it is too
far for the children Of that ueigh-
hofhpol to attend the Thibodeaux
school We have also 10 report that
lie Delcambre school il badly TO-
Gated, he ground being entirely toe
low; aud that the last mentioned
school is only about one and oDe-half
Q5) miles from The school at Erath
We therefore recommend that the
Delcambre school he muyed east OF
where it is now loya.ed and that it
be re.established 10 tie immediate
vicinity Q. the village Of Delcau,bfe
near The parish line, and that il be
made live school TO be patrohizod
By both parishes.
We also recommend that if the
atove suggested change be made
that school be established At Bay !
oa 1figse Bridge.
Respectfully sptatiited,
j, E KITcHELL,
P DuPRE LEBLANC.
COMMITTEE.
On motion Of Wm Connerls SEC
onded by Nj. Felix Brous.ard, the

ell from where 1t now is 10 land pro-
posed to be donated to The School
Board by Mr.. E. p. Leliea on the

bre, provided no expense shall be
incurred on the part OF the School
Board, Tor such removal, and pro
vided that Mr.. belieu shall donate

showing a more determined disposition
to hold up at a good daily production
than some of those completed early
last month. The Liberty on Company's
No. ?, Mcfarland. is stiii making TWEEN
ty barrels an hour, and No. on the
same property,is holding up at twenty
five barrels an hour. The Fisher on
Company's No. 4. D. Price, is another
good slayer and is credited with TWEEN
ty-ave barrels an hour The simple
fact that these three wells are produc-
Ing more than 1900 barrels a day is
conclusive evidence that part OF the
Renwood pool at least has a ripe oil
producing sand. The area OF tile pool
has not been fully defined, but some
recent offers for territory 10 the north

shows that those now most actively
engaged in developing the pool are pos
sessed OF q good deal of faith IN It's

putting M big bonus for territory now

HERE AND THERE.

Every month or two story Is told
In which the time honoreJ and always
a=seul wh7ellns -sosie poses as the
central figure. Here are two that are
all risht:
a Cincinnati drummer who comes 20
Wheeling occasionally. always lays In
a supply OF the brand known as
"Kaintucks"-thosel long, lank. hungry
looking fellows that are Strong enough
to walk and will put a green hand 70
sleep, or worse, II he ventures TO tackle
them. The drummer reached the
Queen City a day or two after being
IN Wheeling, and handed over some OF
these "Kaintuclts" neatly wrapped IN
tin foil with the information that they
were Cuban segars, which he had been
fortunate enough to smuggle into the
country while down In Mobile. They
had cost him SIS a hundred gotten In
that Irregular and Legitimate manner
and were segars that would ordinarily
sell at retail for quarter apiece.
or course the Cincinnatan's friend
appreciated the gift. and did not long
delay in trying the Cubaps (?). He did
not Imagine that his friend would be
deceived after having smoked the
strong fellows. so his surprise can be
imagined when, at their first subse-
quent meeting, his friend was loud IN
his praise OF the segars and wanted TO
know where he could get a supply. The
drummer, out OF kindness OF heart, did
not enlighten his friend and assured
him It would be impossible to get more
OF the same brand.
What's in q name, anyhow?
