At no time is woman more liable to

The great want in woman's system is
ability to properly adjustitself to the new

is now being diminished and carried into

years.
Daughters, you can now to some extent
repay your mothers early care. She must
be spared every possible eXertion. You
must help her bear her burdens and ankle
ties. This critical time safely over, she will
return to renewed health and happiness.
That so many women fail to anticipate

Il TRIP TO OMAHA.

Few people Of this State have Wis
tied the Omaha Exposition. That
many have not done SO is probably
due to lack of information on the
subject. Owing to the present war
the newspapers have not given the
attention to the Omaha Exposition
that its magnitude deserves. 1t is
certainly one Of the most wonder
full expositions in the history OF this
or any other country, and it is I'M
fortunate that Louisiana has not seen
fit to have an exhibition there. A
few thousand dollars expended
in an effort to show to the world
what we are capable of doing in the
Pelican State would have been of
incalculable benefit. The Omaha
exposition offers a splendid oppor-
tunity to see, at a glance, the vast
possibilities Of the trans Mississippi
country. The West is there in all
its greatness. The energy Of the
Western people is displayed in a
manner as to leave no doubt in
ones mind of the brilliant future of
that vast country which has but
sta rted on its way to physical and
intellectual Development. To the
men who have made the Omaha Ex-
position there is nothing difficult Of
accomplishment. They have over
come obstacles that, to ordinary
spirits, would have been absolutely
insurmountable, and as result
they have builded one of the great
est industrial shows that it is posi-

confer an honor upon a worthy gen

and honest men, and in either the
people of this district would have a
representative in whom can be re-
posed this most important trust with

one of these gentlemen and work
for his nomination. Lafayette is
one of the few reliable Democratic
parishes in South Louisiana. 1t is

When many others deserted and
sought false gods in the enemy's
camp old Lafayette refused to be
led astray but adhered to the teach
ings of genuine Democracy 1t is

War Relief Society.

\ number OF ladies, under the
leadership Of Mrs. +. Demande,
have organized War Relief Society
for the purpose of raising funds to
be placed in the hands of the State
Relief Association to be used in
caring for the sick and wounded
American soldiers in the present
war with Spain. Mrs. F. E. Girard
has been elected secretary and Mrs.
Will Clark treasurer. The ladies
pay monthly fee of $ cents, but
are DESTROYS of giving the public an
opportunity of showing in a sub
stantial way the interest and SYM
pathy felt in the cause Of suffering
humanity. A contribution box has
been placed at the post-ofhce and
all who desire to aid are requested
to drop in whatever amount they
wish to contribute. Rem ember
that every cent put into the box
goes forward to the actual field Of
action and is there expended in re-
lieving the wants of the suffering
and the destitute. The ladies will
meet at Mrs. N. P. Moss, Wednes-
day evening, August 3, at six
O'Clock, to count the proceeds of
the box, so drop a dime, drop a
quarter, drop dollar, without
delay, and you will feel better for
it. Try anyway.

The Greigs as Soldiers.

Although the Greig family is not
a very large one four Of its numbers
are volunteers in the present war.
Don Greig of Lafayette, and Henry
and George Greig, of St. Martin,
are members of Company I, Hoods
Regiment, and John Greig, of this
town, is with the Donaldsonville
Cannoneers. The record made
by the Greigs in the Civil war is an
enviable one and it is not surpris-
ing that the young men of the fam
lily to-day displayed the same patriot
ism which characterized their pre-
decessors in the sixties. There
were no better soldiers than Arthu ,
and Sidney Greig, and Joe who fell
at Vicksburg. These brothers were
noted for their bravery and other
soldierly qualities. That the
Younger Greigs, who are going to the
front in this war, will give as good
an account of themselves as did
their fathers, The Gazette has not
the least doubt. And one thing
which is noticeable as we'll as com
nendable is that they all enlist as
plain, every day privates.

that Hon. Overton Cadet is candi-

be impossible to find better man
for this position than Capt. Buchan-
an. We will state, however, that

have not been consulted and we are
not able to say whether or not he
would be willing to become can
didate.

An entertaining and highly enjoy
able party was given by the Star
of Hope Temperance Society at the
residence of Mrs. Grow Girard last
Thursday evening. A large num-
Der were present and it is needless
to say that everyone was highly
pleased with the evenings enter
tainment. Those present were i'm
debted to Misses Ruth Huff, Marie

instrumental and vocal music.
Delicious refreshments were
served by the charming Misses
Hopkins, and by two representa-.

Of whom had a peculiar mode OF
gait, while the other amused those
near him by initiating the cock in a
most perfect manner. After all had
participated heartily Of the refresh-
rnents, they betook themselves to
the lawn and there enjoyed them
selves to the utmost in the various
games that followed, until after the
setting sun had cast his last bright,
struggling rays through the shady
trees. Too much cannot be said
of the hospitality of the hostesses,

and the interest and cordially man
ifested by them toward all present

condition of affairs has seldom been

The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1898-07-30
TIE mann SCANDAL.


Things are beginning to look
brighter for the soldiers at Mairni.
Thanks to Gov. Culberson, of
Texas, Secretary Alger has as last
decided to pay some attention to
the protest against the awful condi-
ton of affairs at ''Flager's Crave
yard" 1t seems that the depart
ment had repeatedly shown dis
position to continue its policy of
pernicious inactivity relative to the
Miami scandal. The City Council
and Board of Trade of New Or
leans have both adopted resolutions
loudly protesting against the Flor
ida iniquity. A Mobile club has
taken similar measures to call
halt to it. In fact the whole South
is sick and tired of it. What at
first was considered merely failure
on the part of the officials to per-
form their duty has gotten to be
more ser Gus than ordinary official
dereliction. The people of the South
are indignant over the barbarous
treatment of Southern volunteers.
The idea of young men being
penned up near miasmatic swamps
and being forced to drill on the
sand under a semi-tropical sun,
drinking rotten water that was
proved by experts to be full Of the
germs of fatal disease, is certainly
enough to stir the heart of every
human being who is not dead to all
the finer sensibilities which distin-
guish man from the brute.
Before many lives had been sacri-
feed upon the altar of plutocratic
greed; before Berthe Sneed and
other gallant young patriots had
breathed their last in Multi-million-
aire Flager's pest-hole, able physi-
clans pointed out the danger Turk
ing in the impure water at Miami,
but with most objectionable reck-
lessness and criminal Indifference
the authorities paid no attention to
the opinions of the experts. The
soldiers in the incampment saw
their comrades sicken and die and
their bodies carried away to desol-
ate homes to fill untimely graves.
The time was fast approaching when
the Miami soldiers would not be fit
for duty upon the battlefield, and
the health of the whole command
was in imminent danger.
All honor to Gov. Culberson who
telegraphed to Secretary Alger ask
ing that official fo1 redress. At last
relief was promised as will be seen
by the following reply received by
the governor of Texas:
Governor Culberson, Austin, Tex: On
receipt of your telegram, General Lee, COM
manding the Seventh Corps, Jacksonville,
was ordered to Miami, Fla, to make careful
Investigation of reported presence of typhoid
fever within that portion of his corps now
at camp there. In the meantime an officer
has been sent to Asheville, N. c., to select
a camp in the mountains there. If it is
found that sickness exists to an unusual de-
gree, on receipt of General Lees report,
troops will be ordered north.
