THE STREETS
May be Worked and the bitches
May be Dug.

Things have gotten to such pass
that the work Of repairing the streets
can not be postponed. 1t must be
done now or it will be too late. The
streets have not been in such condi-
ton for long time and the people
are all after the Council to have the
work done. The towns treasury is
at low ebb and money will not be
coming in before November or
December. There's the rub. A
depleted treasury and an increasing
indebtedness confront our municipal
law givers and they are in guam
Diary. If the streets are worked the
Council must find the means to pay
the laborers. At its last meeting the
Council. approaching the urgent
necessity of immediate action, au-
thorized DIR. Martin to contract for
the working of the streets, the
money to be paid when the taxes are
collected. The doctor is limited to
one thousand dollars. Beyond
that he can not go. There is
vast amount of work to be done
and it IS questionable if the money
allowed for that purpose will be
sufficient. Let the Council do
what it can. Some of the main
thoroughfares of the town are In
terrible condition and if not attend
ed to before the winter season sets
in, they will be impossible. DR.
Martin feels the Importance Of
imme late action and he will exert
ali his energy in that direction.
The doctor is accos.ed every day by
SO lie itat: taxpayer who wants to
know it some particular piece Of
road will not be worked. These
inquiries have become SO frequent
OF late that DR.. Martin would
seriously consider the propriety
resigning, but as he is not a gutter
and never gives up, he has made u,
his mini to stand the brunt and
wait for better times. The doctor
has informed the Gazette that he
will give the matter his attention at
once, and if there is any way to
give the people better roads for |
their money it will be done without
any unnecessary delay.

There seems to be an organized
band of constituencies liars in this
town who spend most of their time
circulating yellow fever lies which
are calculated to do much harm to
the whole community. If the desire
to lie is so overwhelming in these
chronic prevaricators and they must
lie, let them lie about something else.
Yellow fever lies are not only annoy
ing, but positively injurious to the
business Of the town.

New Drugstore at Carencro.

New Drugstore at CarencrO.
Charley Bienvenu, of this town.,
and Aristide Francez, of Carencro,
will open drugstore at the latter
place on or about the 18th of this
month. Mr.. Bienvenu is we'll quail
fed to give the people of Carencro
a very efficient service. Years of
application have thoroughly equip
ped him in his profession and few
young men are better fitted than
he to take charge of drugstore.
Mr.. Francez is a very popular
young man who enjoys the conf
dence of the people with whom he
lives. The Gazette bespeaks a
very generous patronage for the new
firm.

The Fever at ndria

For several days it was rumored
on our streets that there were cases
of yellow fever in Alexandria. AS
! the air is full of ali sorts of rumors,
few persons at first gave any credence
to these reports. The character of
sistency with which they were circu-
lated, caused our ever-watchful
health officer, DR.. F. f. Girard, to
communicate with the authorities of
that town in regard to the truthful
ness or untruthfulness of the rumors.
The reply being rath er evasive, DR..
Girard was not satisfied that the
rumors were not founded and
he sent a second telegram of in
quiry. This telegram elected from
the health authorities of Alexandria
a reply that clearly showed that the
report was not altogether groundless.
It was stated that DR.. Carter was
there, but had not yet expressed an
opinion. Finding that the Alexan-
dria authorities were too slow to act
DR.. Girard communicated with DR..
Souchon of the State Board and
took the necessary measures for
protection against the introduction
of yellow fever from that point.
The railroad company was informed
that no train out of Alexandria
would be permitted to carry passen-
gers or freight to this town.
The trains on the branch are now
running as far as Cheneyville and
no intercourse is allowed with the
infected locality. We are informed
that two or three cases have been
officially declared to be yellow
fever

Of the bad condition of the public

Judge Gilbert Dupre and District
Attorney Lee Garland, of Opelousas
passed through Lafayette Wednesday
being on their way home from
Crowley. These gentlemen have
one of the largest districts in the
State. During the last two years in
the parish of ST. Landry alone they
tried and convicted 1875 per-
sons for penitentiary offenses.
The last grand jury empanneled in
that parish indicted eight men for
murder. Messrs, Dupre and Gar
land are among the best officers in
the State.

Major Gilmore Skips Between
two Sums.

Major Gilmore Skips Between
two Suns.
A special from Clinton to the
Times Democrat of Oct. E says:
The greatest sensation for years
was created here this morning, when
it was announced that Major T. H.
Gilmore, president of the Southern
Military College, had skipped the
town for parts unknown. 1t seems
that he had forged the name Of the
Hon. d. w. Pipes on his note,
payable to Mrs. G.. A. Knox, for
$84o, due yesterday; one for 500,
purporting to be Endorsed by Mr.. T.
c. Mckowen Of Lindsay, La, on
the Bank Of Clinton; one for S64o,
Endorsed by Hon. D. w. Pipes, on
the First National Bank of Baton
Rouge. The Bank of Clinton also
holds another note for 500, Endorsed
by Mrs. l.. d .lombre Of Slaughter,
which they think will prove forgery.
He also owes the merchants of
Clinton several hundred dollars,
which will run amounts due to over
$1,000. Major Gilmore came to

THE PLANT
Still Running Under Great Dis.
advantages.

AS the people of Lafayette are
we'll aware the expenses incurred
by running the waterworks and
electric light plant far exceed the
revenues. 1t is therefore very clea,
that unless there is pretty big fund
to draw from the plant will have to
be stopped. But the Council Is no.
ready to do anything of the sort.
There being no money to buy coal,
Mayor Caffery, Councilmen Landry,
Martin, Mouton aud Davidson have
decided to borrow money ON their
individual signatures to buy enough
coal to run the plant until the collec-
ton of taxes. This is very generous
on the part of these gentlemen.
Owing to the dangerous condition
of the boilers it has been decided to
discontinue the use of street lights.
This will no doubt occasion much
adverse comment, but the Council
deemed this step inevitable and
acted for the best interests of all.
The boilers, when fired to their full
capacity, are consideted exceeding
ty dangerous, and the committee in
charge of the plant concluded to
take this step as precautionary
measure. 1t is the intention of the
Council to purchase a new set of
boilers as it is evident that the one
now in use will not give satisfaction.
\ change was deemed inadvisable
before on account of the legal bear
ing it might have had on the suit
which is pending in the district
court. All the trouble is caused by
the boilers and SO long as they are
used satisfactory results can not be
expected from the operation Of the
plant.

THE HOG MUST GO
Says the Lafayette Board of
Health-An Important
Ordinance.

| Ordinance.
The hog must 60. The Lafa-
creed. Our late foes, the Spaniards,
have charged that there was a Ger.
tain well-developed affinity between
the American sovereign and the fret
full porcupine, but the naughty Dons
have said a whole lot of mean
things about us that are not true.
The cultured American appre-
ciates the noble qualities of the hog,
and outstincts, and is the last being
on earth who would do him an in
justice, but with the kindest of feel
ings for him, the Board has decided
that he must go.
He must migrate to places more
congenial to his tastes and habits.
He can abide with us no longer.
He has been deemed a nuisance.
His mode of living is such that his
presence endangers the health of
the community. He is a generator
of microbes, a breeder of infectious
diseases and his haunts are a per-
petual incubation of the foul stuff
upon which Yellow Jack is supposed
to feed. Hence the necessity Of
sending him away. The enforce
sment of this ordinance will work
hardship on some of our citizens,
but The Gazette believes that all
will recognize the wisdom of such
measure. 1t is notorious fact
that in some parts of our town the
keeping of hogs has gotten to be an
unbearable nuisance, and positive
danger to the health of the neigh
borhood. Let those who have hogs
within the corporate limits of the
town proceed to act at once in con-
for,uity with the ordinance of the
Board Of Health.
The members of the Board have
considered this question
before acting upon it, and it is only
after being firmly convinced of the
urgent need of such an ordinance
that it was adopted. 1t is as fol-
lows:
AN ORDINANCE to prohibit the
keeping and the raising of hogs
within the corporate limits of
the town of Lafayette, La.
Whereas, the keeping and the
raising of hogs within the corporate
limits of the town is prejudicial to
the health of the community, the
Board of Health, exer-
cising the authority and the power
Vested in the Board by law, does
declare the practice to be a lfudlie
nuisance and does hereby broAibft
he keeping and the raising of hogs in
he foava Of Lafayette, La.-this
regulation to take effect on
Oct. IS, 1898, and to remain in
orce thereafter.
