who escaped from the Parish Jail
at this place Lat week in so slick
a manner, getting ont of Jail in his
wife's clothes, was stupid enough
to go to Houston where he was
captured.
1t was folly for Joe to 60 to any
town or city because the sheriff
had teleg'apbed his description to,

Board of Health Vacancies.

Col. j. c.. Denis and Mr.. STAN
ley o. Thomas, who were nomi-
mated to be members of the Lou
isisna Board of Health, have de-
clined the 'honor" of appointment
at the hands of his accideny, Muir
ply j. Foster, governor of the
State. through the apathy of the
people and the infamy of his re-
turning officers. No reasons have
oeen publicly assigned for the de-
clinatures, and it is currently re-
ported that Col. Deniss at least,
has peremptorily declined to- be
interviewed. -

when his escape would be out OF
the peoples mind he could then
have risked the trains, and have a
better chance of going away.
Sheriff Rees went for him Mon
day, returning with his prisoner
Tuesday evening.
1t is useless to say that Joe will
never have another chance to get
ont of Jail, and it is not likely that
no other prisoner will ever have a
chance to get out of our Jail as
long as Mr.. Eugene Bertrand will
be jailer, his experience with the
slick trick of Joe will always keep
him on his guard.

VOLUME XIII.

With this edition the Messenger
commences it's thirteenth year,
during these many years its growth
has not been what we could say
booming but it has grown stead
ily with the town, adding new ma
terial as necessity required, and
with the new job press that will
be put in the coming week, our
Office will be rs complete as any
country office can be, and the work
we turn out will compare favora-
bly, with that turned out from any
of the best equipped city offices,
and our prices are as low as any,
quality of work compared.
We carry full stock of station
ary, we can furnish almost any
thing you can ask us in the prin-
ting line, we have the finest kinds
of papers of different ttins and
quality, card boards etc.
1t is not necessary for us to say
what the Messenger will do in the
sfuture, it will simply continue to
tDllow the same course it did in
the past, always work for the in
terest of St. Martinville and st.
Martin parish, looking strickly af-
ter the interest of the people.
The Messenger has certainly
contributed to make the town what
it is today, the town and its peo-
pie have certainly prospered since
the past few years, and our efforts
will continue to try and increase
our prosperity.

ly on the question of lewd woman; he
advised the members of the Council that
complaints had been made to him in re-
gard to an establishment kept bv lewd
women in this town on the East side Of
the Bayou and their removal demanded.
The establishment being in a thickly
populated place of the town he ordered
its removal to some other remote quar-
ters which was accordingly done.
That since their removal other COM
plants bad been made and that he was
advised that a special committee was to
wait on the body that night to that effect.
After a reasonable time allowed the
Committee failing to materialize, the
Mayor expended his views on the subject
to those present admonishing them to
come forward with their complaints il
any they had as now was the moment so
to do. No complaints being made the
Mayor Intercepted the nearest neigh
bOrs on the place, they ali agreed to say
that the women created no disturbance
and were qniet and peaceable people.
Only one complaining that people were
seen passing to and fro going and COM

consider il proper.
This being the only complaints fled

friends of the two gentlemen who
have refused the weight of their
character and their influence to
an odious administration. None
of the rumOrs which have been set
sfoat can very conveniently be
construed as creditable to the
State House Ring.
Those whose intimacy with the
genial president of the Germania
National Bank would seem to give
to their utterances the weight of
semi-official declaration, define his
position substantially in these
terms:
The fine Italian hand of Foster
so manipulated the wires, that
while apparently the new Board
of Health was absolutely nonpar-
tisan, it was made unwittingly to
serve the plans of the politicians
with as much smoothness and GER
tainty as the most approved of the
patented machines. When the
deft fingers Of the crafty juggler
were removed, in many of the ap-
pointive positions. without the
slightest seeming regard for the
question of competency, there
were found nominated mercenaries
or parasites to whom where due
recognition and reward for past
services to ''the party"
1t appears, however, that of all
things done, the one which tended
most to outrage and disgust Col.
Denis sense of self-respect was
that he should be called upon to
assume official relations with and
accept legal advice from that vete-
ran office-holder and political hack
Frank G. Zacharie.
Col. Denis is somewhat choleric
in disposition, and but little prone
to condone the crime of men who
organized a foul conspiracy of
which the sole purpose was to de-
feat the popular will and to set up
a government founded on perjury
and fraud. Mr.. Zacharie was one
of the Infamous quartette who
stole State, and the friends of
Col, Denis assert that he is not
yet quite ready to either forgive
the thieves or to receive as "ho-
hors" the gifts Of those who par
took of the plumber.
