Board of Reviewers.

Lafayette, La. July II, 19oI.-Pursuant
to adjournment the Police Jury met this day
as Board of Reviewers with the following
members present: NJ. Billeaud, Jr., F. G..
Mouton, J. G. Buchanan, J. A. Liable,
John Wilmington, Alonzo Lacy. Alex M.
Broussard, Saul Broussard and J. O. Blan-
Chef.
The Board organized by recognizing all
officers of the Police Jury as proper officers
for this body.
Judge O. &. Mouton appeared for the La
fayette Compress Company, praying for a
reduction of assessment Attorney K. w.
Elliott appeared for Assessor Martin. The
Board resolved to fix Tuesday July 10, for
hearing the above contest and that of E.
H. Vordenbaumen.
MIR. G. NJ. Snodgrass appeared and asked
that his assessment be reduced if found in
excess of valuation placed upon properties
Immediately adjoining. Mr.. Snodgrass not
having laid the proper foundation for a con-
test the Board considered his application
irregular but after personal inspection of the
property in question resolved to maintain
the valuation fixed by the assessor.
The Board continued in session reviewing
the assessment July IL, IS. and IS, all mem:
bers being present at each meeting and
having completed the revision of said lists
according 10 law and Messrs. .. c. Mouton
and .. B. Hopkins representing the La
fayette Compress Company and E. H. Vor-
denbaumen respectively. having appeared
before the Board and made amicable ad Just
ment of their respective contests the follow
ing was duly adopted: Resolved that this
Board of Reviewers do now accept and ap-
prove the assessment for the year 1901 as
submitted by Assessor Martin. Mr.. Buchanan
voted nay.
Mr. buchanan asked that his vote be
recorded against the acceptance of the as
sessment as offered by the assessor for the
reason that he did not think that the law
had been complied with that equal and ex-
act justice had not been done, citing Parti-
cularly the assessment of G. NJ. Snodgrass
and calling attention to the fact that the
basis on which the assessments was made,
was in the Snodgrass case utterly ignored.
Among other assessments mentioned to sus-
tain the objection were those of DIR. F. S,
Mudd f. Z. Davis and Mr.. Merriweather,
immediate neighbors of Mr.. Snodgrass.
There being no further business the Board
adjourned.

Times Democrat.
After three days cruise on the
United States steamer Stranger,
Gov. w. w. Heard returned to the
city last night from Mobile. The
Governor, arrived in Mobile Bay
yesterday in time to do little fish
ing off the pier at Fort Morgan.
He fished with drop line, and the
fish played havoc with couple of
his fingers. In trying to pull in one
gamey denizen of the deep, the silk
cut into the bone on the index finger
of has right hand, and also made a
savage cut in one of the fogers on
his other hand. The line parted be-
fore he would relinquish his hold on
the playful fish, and the monster
got away.
After bandaging his fingers he
went to work again with an arrange
ment at the end of the line which
would prevent further injury to his
hands. Before he had finished he
landed jackfish which he said
weighed twenty pounds.
The Governor, discussing his trip
on the Stranger, said:
eve had very fine time. The Stranger
is one Of the speediest little boats 1 was ever
on. After leaving here Saturday evening
we arrived in Pensacola the following after
noon at O'Clock, pretty fast run. The
crew will go to Ship Island to practice to-
morrow
Gov. Heard stated a, the St. Charles las,
night that he would issue the programme fol-
the exercises in Buffalo on louisiana Day
at the an-American Exposition in day OF
two.
ssThe programme calls for three orations
on Aug. 10 by Louisianians in Buffalo. Prof.
Alcee Fortier will probably speak the
French or Creole side of our colonization.
Congressman Broussard will doubtless speak
in behalf of the Acadians, and will take
for my subject Louisiana

The School Books.


Within few days the committee
appointed by the State Board of
Education to pass upon the merits
of textbooks offered by the differ
ent publishers, will submit their re-
ports, and shortly thereafter the
contracts will be awarded. 1t is
understood that this committee has
been overwhelmed with books from
all the school book publishers in
the United States, and their task
has been by no means one to be
env1ed. This committee is not ex-
pected to know the prices at which
the books they examine are offered,
their only work being to determine
the excellence of the books from the
standpoint Of mechanical and liter
airy execution and their value for
the purposes intended.
1t was the determination of the
Board of Education to improve, if
possible, upon the standard of text
books heretofore obtaining, and at
the same time to bring the cost of
good books down to the lowest
possible notch. 1t has been charged
that in some States chearness in
price has been obtained at the ex-
pense of mechanical excellence and
an abridgement of the subject mat
ter of the books, and on this point
the Board ought to be careful. 1t
has been asserted that whole chap
tiers have been taken out of books
in order to reduce the cost of man.
ufacture, and that In other ways in
ferior quality has made Cheapness
possible. Unless care is taken along
this line the Board may easily be
imposed upon, and the struggle for
better and cheaper books rendered
without satisfactory results. The OBJ
ject of the Board, we are sure, is to
get good books cheap. not merely
to get cheap books without regard
to merit and it is we'll to be on guard
lest one of the prime objects be de
feated by the machin atoms Of book
publishers.
The States does not profess to be
an authority on school books, but
it is free to say that it it had the
disposition of the contract it would,
it such could be done without posi-
tive detriment to the interests of
the public schools, favor Louisiana
authors wherever it was possible to
do so.
We would like to say more upon
this subject, but the committee
having the matter now in hand, it
would probably be misconstrued by
some into a desire on our part to
prejudice that body in its conclu-
siOns.

BANK BuRGLARs.

Mr. w. Il. Sandell of this city is the
owner OF bank at New Baltimore, a
thriving little village of about thous-
and population, located about twenty
five or thirty miles northeast OF Detroit
on an electric line recently constructed
from that city. 1t is private bank
doing business under the name of VIM.
+. Sandell q Co., with Chas. f.. Hills,
well known here, as cashier. Last Fri
day night it was raided bp burglars
who drilled open the safe and secured
about $500
The thieves escaped without being
seen. Entrance to the bank was gained
by prying open the front door. Sledge
hammers pick axes and other tools
which were used TO batter down
the door were left on the floor beside
the wrecked safe.
After securing the booty the burg
lars stole handcar from the Rapid rail
way tool house and left for the south.
The handcar was found in the morning
at Orr's Junction, five miles south.
The loss at the bank is covered by
burglar insurance. 1t was the work of
professional bank robbers, who are
thought to be the gang which is operat-
ing In the STAGE.
Mr.. Sandell went to New Baltimore
Tuesday to look the situation over.

John h. Young and his merry com
pany of opera singers delighted large
audience at the city opera house last
night. Mr.. Young has always been a
favorite with Port Huron theatre-goers
and his reception last night was no ex-
ception TO the rule. "Said Pasha" was
last nights production with Mr.. Young
as Hadad. His remarkable adventures
with Nocky in the land OF the dusky
rajah kept the house in state OF merri
ment throughout the performance.
Mr.. Young has gathered an excellent
company about him this season. Miss
Minnie Jarbeau won rounds of applause
for her sweet singing, as did also Miss
Berdie Dale. Jules Cluzetti surprised
the audience with his remarkable sing
ing, and was encored several times.
Robert Lett and Byron Bronti are both
opera singers of ability and received
their share OF attention.
Clever specialties are interspersed
throughout the performance. Among
those included in the company are
Dixon Hutton, Tom McQuarrie, Phil.
Connors, Chas. VanDyne, Walter Rob-
erts, Charles .. Wallace, Miss Addie
Monford, Miss Pearl Roberts, Miss Min
ME Murray and a chorus of pretty girls,
whose singing is one OF the many fea-
lures of the performance.-Port Huron

SLOT MACHINES.

Not long ago the common council de-
creed that all slot machines of gamb-
ling order should be prohibited. That
was good move and reflected the good
Judgment of the men composing that
august body. But now they have again
crept into the different abodes which
they formerly occupied and are stand
ing there just as if nothing had hap
pened.
The city does not allow gambling be-
tween men, why should it allow it be-
tween a man and a machine?
Why does not the common council
pass some act against them, which will
not be broken by men OF such effront-
cry, as OF necessity they must be, to
handle an article designed for such in
famous purposes?
Such an act would be hailed with de-
light by those who strive to live In har-
mony with the laws Of good morality.

No Cause For Alarm,

A patient angler was not long ago
diligently plying his rod and line in
the waters of cool, clear, limpid
brook, when he was suddenly startled
by loud and angry voice behind him.
DO you know" cried the irate rip
arian owner, that you are fishing in
forbidden water?''
forbidden water" replied the fish
erman, calmly. Il was not aware of
it"
Eyes, sir, preserved water; and per-
haps you will allow me to inform you
that l have been to good bit of eX-
pense at one time and another in well
stocking 1t with fish"
"Ah, yes" continued the angler Ian
guidly; 'and with what fish, pray, may
l ask, have you so literally replen
ished this Stieam:"
Roach, sir" roared the angry land
owner; my favorite fish"
'Ah, well, then, in that case" bland
ly observed the fisherman, there's no
need for you to worry further. for 1
am fishing for troutn'- Bits.
