THE DYKES
Came Back Home Defeated But
Not Sllbdued.

The Dixies went to Lake Charles
last Sunday and lost the game.
But considering the difficulties I'M
der which they played we are not
stretching the truth in stating that
the boys scored a decided victory,
though the score tells a different
tale. With three of its best players
less, a manned catcher and an un-
broken chain of hard luck, it is no
wonder that the Dixies allowed the
Calcasieu pine knots, known as the
illustrious Grays, to get away with
their justly-earned laurels. The
Lake Charles Press, in a mild at
tempt at humor, remarks that at
no stage of the game did Lafayette
stand the remotest chance of win
ming. OF course not. The Lafa-
yette boys were aware of that Stub
born fact. They knew it before
the game began. But they had
agreed to play and they fulfilled
their obligation. However,, the
game has established one thing, and
that is the ability of the Dixies to
literally wipe the earth with the
Grays and this feat they propose to
perform if the latter will only afford
them an opportunity. If suitable
arrangements can be made the near
future will disclose the information
as to whether The Gazette is talk
ing through its hat or not.
The score is as follows:

UNFORTUNATE
Condition of a Railroad Man at
HOuma.

Sheriff Broussard received the
following letter last Monday from
Sheriff Connolly, of Houma, who
desires some information relative to
the identity of man who, it ap-
pears. is known around the Southern
Pacific depot. The letter reads:
HoUMA. La, June "a, 1891
Isaac A. Broussard, Esq, Lafa
yette, La: have in Jail a party
named Walter Corners, about IS
years old, dark complexion, hair
and mustache, about feet, has
lost first finger of right hand. He
was wondering around Chacahoula
station on Southern Pacific Rail-
road in a demented condition, I
think brought on by excessive
drink. He had bill from a hotel
in Houston, Texas, dated June 8,
showing a partial payment. He
claimed to have been a brakeman
on train from Lafayette to Houston,
and seems to know you and your
town marshal and other parties in
Lafayette, but I can get nothing
definite out of him. Can you give
me any information about the man !?
If you can you will much oblige
Yours truly,
A. w. CONNELY.
Corners is known by the en-
ployes at the Southern Pacific
yards, but nothing could be ascer
tanned concerning him aside from
the fact that he is from Houston.
We learn that he has been sent to
the Charity Hospital, where he
now is.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
Will be Held Thursday, June
"a, at Falk's Opera House.

Through the efforts of Major J..
c.. Lee, state commissioner of
agricultural, there will be held at
Lafayette, Thursday, June "a, a
Farmers Institute, in connection
with the Summer Normal school.
All live and progressive farmers
should not fail to attend and induce
as many of their neighbors to do
likewise. Lectures and discussions
of all matters affecting agricultural
interests will be delivered by some
of the most successful and scientific
farmers of the State. Advanced
methods along agricultural lines
will be presented and submitted for
general discussion. The advisa-
bility of introducing the study of
agriculture in some practical form,
into the common school system, is
now being seriously considered and
that distinguished educator, Prof. B.
c. Caldwell, of Natchitoches, has
consented to address the institute
upon the subject.
Nineteenth of our boys remain on
the farm and should have some
scientific knowledge of their bust
ness in life. Prof. Stubs, DR..
Dalrymple, Hon. John Dymond
and other well-known speakers will
be present. Prof. Smith, of the
Normal, and several local speakers
will also discuss pertinent subjects.
A special feature of the institute will
be the presence of veterinary
surgeon who will give valuable
advice to all interested in stock.
The meeting will open at 9
O'Clock in the morning, and night
session will very likely be held.

THE NORMAL.
Another Week of Hard Work
Visit of Prof. Hines.

Visit of Prof. Hines.
During the past week the Sum-
mer Normal has done some excel
lent work. Profs. Smith, Keeny,
Trudeau, and Miss Lewis have dis
played the same ability and in
terest which characterized their
work the first and second weeks of
the session. These efficient
teachers are thoroughly qualified
institute workers and all who had
occasion to attend the exercises
were impressed with the intelligent
manner IN which they were con-
Quoted.
Monday State Institute Con-
ductor Hines gave the teachers the
benefit of his very valuable assist
ance. Owing to the illness of
child at his home in Natchitoches
Prof. Hines remained only until
Wednesday, but during his necessa-
rily limited stay he delivered three
lectures which were characteristical-
ly able, clear and instructive. His
address at Falk's Opera House
Monday night was highly appreci-
ated by the teachers as we'll as by
all others who heard 1t. 1t was
forcible, eloquent and practical.
Prof. keeny's remarks were well
considered. clearly delivered, in
teresting and instructive. Mr.. and
Mrs. George Melchoir contributed
largely to the success of Monday
nights meeting.
Among the visitors to the insti-
tute this week were Editor Lawton
of the Iberia Enterprise and DR..
Clarence Pierson, school superin-
tendent of that parish, and Rabbi
Rosenspitz of Alexandria. The
latter made few remarks which
were much appreciated by the
teachers.
Friday morning Capt. Taylor of
Crowley was visitor to the school.
Capt. Taylor was teacher for
long number of years, having been
principal of the Crowley High
School. He is now on the editorial
staff of the Crowley Signal and it is
in the interest of that splendid jour
nal that he visited the institute.
It will be seen from the following
names shat the class was largely
increased during the past week:
