NUMBER 9.
Death of Mrs. Riu.

Mrs. Remond Riu, a most estim-
able lady of this town, died Thurs
day morning at 10 O'Clock a. m. at
the home of her daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Edmond Guidry, in this town.
Mrs. Riu was 70 years and
months old. Her maiden name
was Marie Belzire Arcenaux. For
a number of years Mrs. Riu was a
resident of this town. Her funeral
yesterday morning evidenced the
esteem and respect in which she was
held by the entire community. Her
life was that of the true Christian
mother. Many will bear testimony
to the charity exemplified by the
daily acts of this excellent lady who
her long career on earth
adhered to the doctrines of tue
religion as revealed and expounded
by the Savior. She was the mother
of two sons both of whom preceded
her to the grave. One of her sons,
the late Pancrass Riu will be re-
membered by the people Of this
parish by whom he was highly es-
teemed for his sterling qualities as
a soldier and citizen.
Mrs. Riu leaves a number of
and other relatives to
m ourn her death.

Ex.Congressman Landers.

Ex-Congressman Franklin Lam
ders, of indianapolis, Ind, was in
Lafayette Thursday and Friday and
registered at the Cottage Hotel.
He was accompanied by Mr.. w. A.
White, a member of the Abbeville
bar.
Mr.. .Landers has invested in rice
lands near Gueydan and the purpose
of his visit to this section was to
look after his interests there.
Mr.. Landers is one of the leading
Democrats of the Hoosler State.
He was sent to Congress by the
Democracy of the indianapolis dis
trict and in 1880 was the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor of
Indiana. Speaking to represent
tative of this paper Mr.. Landers
expressed the opinion that Indiana
would give a Democratic majority
in November. 1t is needless to say
that Mr.. Landers is not only a sup
porter of Bryan, but is great ad-
mirer of the Nebraskan.
Mr.. Lan6ers left yesterday for
indianapolis.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothersn never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or
Biliousne SIS. Doctors were scarce,
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration OF
Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the
system and stop Fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the &C
ton of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is. all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses OF Green's
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. For
sale by the Lafayette Drug Co.

MelancOn.Martin.

The Catholic church was crowded
Thursday evening by the friends OF
Miss Nita Martin and Mr.. Walter
Melancon. These popular and
well known young persons were to
be joined in the sacred bonds of
wedlock and their friends and we'll
wishers had gathered to witness the
marriage ceremony. At about six
O'Clock vehicles bearing the bridal
party were driven to the church.
At the appointed hour the groom,
accompanied by the best man, Mr..
Arthur Ronsonet, walked into the
sacristy. The bride soon appeared
in the aisle with the bridesmaid,
Miss Cora Martin, and her father,
Mr.. A. NJ. Martin. They were
joined at the altar by the groom
and the best man. At the conclu-
sion of the wedding march, the
priest stepped up to the altar and
after the usual ceremony pro-
nounced the happy pair united by
the indissolnble bonds of marriage.
Both the bride and bridesmaid
were dressed with excellent taste.
The bride was naturally the cyno-
sure of all eyes. Her native lowell
ness was rendered more attractive
by the milliner's art. Girlish and
pretty she looked the typical bride.
After the ceremony at the church
the bridal party accompanied by a
large number of relatives and friends
met at the home of the brides
father where congratulations were
and an informal reception
was held.
Mr.. Martins grove had been dec
Grated for the occasion and pre-
sented beautiful appearance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Melancon left the
same day for Breaux Bridge where !
they will live.

An unusually interesting program

bright feature of the entertainment
and lmpromptu talk by Miss Liz
zie Mudd proved to be both instruc-
tive and interesting. After beng
treated to several pieces of music,
members of the club read a number
of short poems of their own compo-
sltion.

Nicaragua Canal Bill.
New Orleans Picayune.

New orleans Plcayune.
The Nicaragua canal bill is to
come up in the House of Represen.
tatives and be debated May and
2, and then brought to vote.
There seems to be no doubt that 1t
will 60 through the House, but
doubts are expressed of the Senate's
on the subject.
The Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committees amended the bill
SO as to obliterate what are known
as its belllgerent features. A con-
ference was held between Colonel
Hepburn and Senator Morgan, at
which they agreed upon the amend
ments modifying the me asure.
Senator Morgan is confident he
will be successful in getting action
in the Senate, hut there is differ
ence of opinion on this subject, and
many members of the Senate do not
believe anything can be done this
spring. 1t was agreed by the Sen
ate leaders to postpone action upon
the Hay treaty and the
Nicaraguan canal bill until next
session.
1t Is extremely unlikely that the
canal bill will get through this ses-
sion.

Rev. G.. G.. Wier who was kicked
in the face by a horse some days
ago had recovered sufficiently last
Wednesday to have an eye taken
out. At one time it was feared by
the physicians that Mr.. W1er would
lose both eyes, but fortunately such
was not the case. The many friends
of Mr.. Wier will be pleased to learn
that the operation was performed
successfully and that now it is be-
lieved he will soon regain his
former good health. DR.. F. E.
Glrard performed the operation and
was assisted by DIR. p. NJ. Girard
and DR.. Stewart Wier.

PLAN TO FREE
CUR4

Senator Mason surprised the Sc
date and digni6ed Senate the other
day by introducing a resolution
instructing the Administration to
withdraw the American forces from
Cuba and to turn the government
of the island over to its inhabi-
tants. 1t is needless to say that
the administration is not yet ready
to give independence to the Cubans
1t has betrayed so much hypocrisy
and deceit in its expansion policy
that 1t is questionable if Cuba will
ever be accorded its freedom. 1t
is not at all unlikely that when the
Mckinley Hanna syndicate gets
ready to take the island it will go
through the farce of holding an
election there as was done in Ha-
wall, and then it will be proclaimed
that the Cubans want annexation
By these methods 1t will be easy for
the administration to rob the Gu
bans of their rights which they
have won by several bloody revolu-
lions. Does any one believe that
the American corporations will let
go their grip on Cuba? Is there a
man simple enough to believe that
the American spectators care
straw for Cuban Independence?

SANITARY MI TIERS.
Times Democrat.

.SAN/TAR Nh TIERS.
Times Democrat.
The Louisiana State Medical So
cIety, al its session In this city las,
week, unanimously adopted the fol-
loving resolutions, introduced by
DR.. F. J. Mayer:
"Resolved, That it is the sense
of the State Medical Society that a
school of veterinary science should
be established in Louisiana in con-
nection with the Louisiana Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College.
"Resolved, That the request of
the agriculturists of the State at
their recent annual convention at
Arcadia, for the creation by the
Legislature of commissioner Of
public health, whose function shall
be purely educational, who shall be
required by law to hold a sanitary
institute in every parish of the
State, At least once a year, meets
with the Endorsement of this body,
and the creation of such a depart
ment is earnestly urged upon the
General Assembly of the State"
Both of these suggestions of the
Medical Society are excellent, and
we hope to see them adopted by
the Legislature. The second reso-
luton is in no sense matter wholly
for the doctors, but is of impor-
~
ical Society demanding it, because
of the sanitary questions involved,
and the State Agricultural Society
asking it, because the farmers of
Louisiana are so deeply and vitality
interested, the Legislature can
scarcely refuse the request. 1t is
reasonable, and the expense is
small. 1t simply proposes the Or
ganization of a department, or
rather the appointment of COM
missioner, whose duty it shall be to
interest the people in sanitary
matters. 1t must be frankly con-
fessed that Louisiana is sadly def
cient in knowledge and understand
ing of sanitation, and the result has
been deleterious to the State in
many ways. This defect can be
in no better way, and the
people instructed, than through
such Institutes as the farmers and
the doctors have asked for.
The need of school of veteri-
nary science in connection with the
State Agricultural and
Mechanical College has long been
recognized. Louisiana is deficient
in veterinary knowledge and
in practicing veterinarians, and to
this deficiency is largely due the pre-
of Charlton and other dis
eases among cattle and stock here,
and the heavy losses that occur.
A Louisianian who wishes to study
medicine is compelled TO
60 far away, to the University of
or some other Northern
college where there is a veterinary
and many persons cannot
afford to do this; whereas, if there
we're school here Louisiana
would have a hundredfold as many
persons understanding how to treat
and cure animals-and this would
mean the saving of thousands of
stocks whose lives are now sacrificed;
and, more than this, the better
health of the people themselves,
for, as the late milk agitation in
New Orleans has shown, the public
health is endangered when cattle
become diseased. The establish
ment of school of veterinary
science in Louisiana, therefore,
means a smaller loss of cattle and
stocks, healthier animals, and
better milk, beef, mutton, pork,
etc., and is we'll worth what it
will cost the State.
