As the news spreads over Tie
State that il Is the earnest desire OF
the present State administration to
sIgnallze the Inauguration with the
establishment of a textile school
| in Louisiana, candidates for the
site promise tG increase. GOV.
Heard earnestly believes that there
Is no greater reed IN the State than
the establishment Of such an lnst-
tuition ana he IS sure to have the
earnest cooperation Of large ma
jority of both houses IN putting
his idea into effect. In his message
the Governor suggested that the
school should be located either al
Ruston or at Baton Rouge but II
seems probable that other cities
will BID for the honor and His Ex-
cellency is probably not disposed
to split hairs as to the site if he
can only insure the creation of the
school.
BesI1ss Ruston and Baton Rouge
Monroe will b, bidder for the
school. She is preparing to offer
SITE and $4,000 in cash, one third
BY The city, one-thirdby the parish,
and one-thlrd by the citizens, If the
Legislature will agree to locate the
institution in her midst; and this
offer is so liberal as to be quite GER
tain to spur other ambitious LOUIS
lana towns TO make an effort to OBJ
tam the honor.
The composition may eventually
result in bill similar 20 that un.
der which Lafayette occurred the
new Southwestern, Industrial School.
In that case the Legislature dec,d-
ed to order the establishment of the
inst tuition and then ask I'll bids
from the various parishes IN Ger
tain porioin of Southwestern Lo Z
islana for Il site. Lafayette made
the best offer and got it. A Bill ro-
vidlpg for the textile sch .ol and re-.
peatlng the plan by which Lafayelt.
was selected as the site of tie
So itna estern institute would IoI
doubt prove extremely popul r
among the members of the Legisla-
ure.-States.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmOthers never thought of
using anything else for Indigestion
or BiliOuSnesS. Doctors were scarce.
and they seldom heard of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart failure, etc. They used Au-
gust Flower to clean out the sys-
TEN and stop fermentation of I'M
digested food, regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action of the system,
and that is all they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need
a few doses of Green's Angus
Flower, in liquid form, to make
you satisfied, there is nothing ser
iOus the matter with you. For

An Interesting Letter.

The following letter from Mr.. j.
r. Jeanmard druggist of the
town of Thibodaux, La, cannot
but prove of the deepest interest
to our citizens, more especially as
there is reason to hope that ere
twelve months shall have passed
that our city will have excellent
systems of both waterworks and
lights.

Thiboda Tx, La,
May 2,jrd, 1900.
EDITOR IBERIAN
Dear Sir: In reply to your ques'
ton as to the Waterworks of this
place. will say that they are Ion a
self sustaining basis, IN fact, are a
ourcr of reve nue. to Thibodaux
nd that too at surprising ly low
wafer rates. In proof of this |
give my own rates.
| have in my front yard water
pipe for watering my flowers, the
street etc. There is another in my
back ward for watering my horse;
another in the sink in the kitchen:
another at my stationary wash
stand and bath tub and yet an
other in my sanitary closet. For
all this unlimited water supply l
pay TN Five DOLLARS A
YEAR.
The pipe in my kitchen was the
means of saving my home last
winter from destruction by fire.
/ think the people of this place
would rise in revolutionary mass
if any serious move were made to
axe away our water works.
Being interested in your city, l
sincerely hope yOurmoVe for water
works there will be a success.
Yours Truly
J. II. JEANMARD
Mr.. Jcanmard's interest IN New
Iberia arises from the fact that he
was once a resident of this place,
being. at that time, a clerk in Mr..
James A. Lees drugstore.
The IBERIAN inaugurated the night
for waterworks and has never dur
ing the past five and a half years
ceased to do hard work to secure
them. We feel assured that once
secured, that, as in Houma, a re-
yolution would follow any attempt
to do away with them. W.

CompIied With the Law.

"a certain well known Mobile law
yer, who was lame and had something
of a reputation as a fighter said n
southern gentleman, was ut one time
attorney in a suit that caused much i'll
feeling. He won the suit for his client,
and the loser vowed vengeance. In
pursuance of that same, in the Ian
guage of Truthful James, he one day
went into the lawyers Office and sub
iccted him to a TRADE of abuse that
would have caused a salt water cap
tain to die from pure envy, such was
his talent in vituperation.
"The lawyer answered him nothing,
to the surprise of two or three men
who were present, but, getting out of
his chair began to hobble backward.
His enemy, thinking he was retreating,
followed him up, with more abuse and
threatening gestures.
"The lawyers foot finally struck
against the wall when he suddenly
Strengthened up and saying, Gentle

account of this wall, | have retreated

shot his opponent.
AT the trial he was acquitted, his
witnesses being the men present at the
time of the killing, who testified 10 the

The Future of Our Legs.

Professor Yung of the University OF
Guef, Switzerland entertains great
fears concerning the future Of our
lower limbs. This sage is of the opin-
ion that within the next thousand
years human beings will have forgot
ten how to use their legs, and that
these limbs, if evolution will not do
away with them, will serve as mere
ornaments to the rest of the body.
Professor Yung states that at the
present age human beings show a de-
cided aversion to personal or physical
locomotion, and this is more manifest
every time new automatic travelling
instrument is invented and rendered
practical Steam, electricity, cable
power and the different velocipede ma
chimes all bear an influence over us
and create a dislike for walking, and
the future generations will likely have
the convenience of Siderable airships
Mt their windows and electric auto
mobiles at their doors, and these con-
veyances will be so cheap that almost
every one can own them, and this
means the doom of our legs.
The latter will be regarded as super
fuous appendages, no use will be made
of them, and who knows but that they
may disappear altogether? But so
much more will our arms develop in
length and strength. These are the
cruel laws of evolution, and 1t will be
due to their pfanks that future gen
erations will again resemble the apes.
There will come another epoch Of short
legs and long arms.

pole raising at his home, short dis.
lance west OF the city Wednesday, and
in spite of the threatening weather
about eighty gathered there aud en-
joyed themselves very much. A pic
mic dinner was served, the pole, fine
one, was raised with old glory and a
Mckinley and Roosevelt streamer
floating therefrom. Hearty cheers
were given for the flag and for the
candidates and Hon. A. l.. Spencer de-
livered an address that impressed all
with its candor, its plainness and truth
fulness. That neighborhood can be
depended upon to do its whole duty by

an eve witness of it all cannot conceive
of the magnitude nor the frightfuhess
of the disaster. He expected to leave
there and go to Houston, Texas as
soon as he could get away.
