Great Football Game.

On Sunday, January 9th, the
Grand Coteau team played its last
of series pf three games with the
boys OF st. Charles College and
after fierce struggle succumbed
to the superior all around team
work of their young victors.
The day was pleasant. the

Yet a little more freshness in the
atmosphere would have suited
some of the heavy weights
better:
At 2:1J the teams went into the
field and after short practice the
ball was set in the centre of the
iield. Captain Silvio Gonsoulin

Murphy, alias William Taylor.

Thursday night, between | | and
II O'Clock. a white man attempted
to enter Mr.. e. O. Pharr's resi-
dence at the back door. Mr.. pharr
heard him and called to him, ask
ing who il was. He received no
answer. The man came around
the house to the front hall door
and attempted to force 1t open.
when Mr.. pharr, partially dressed,
and with piSt | in hand, threw the
bolt. The fellow came stumbling
into the hall. Mr.. Pharr sprang
backward. out of reach of the fcl-
low aud commanded him to stop.
This he did not heed. but continued
to advance till he had reached a
point about midway of the hall
when Mr.. Pharr raised his pistol
and fired. The intruder turned and
fled. with Mr.. Pharr in close pllr-
suit. The report Of the revolver
brought the night workmen from
the new powerhouse site to Mr..
Pharr'S assistance, and between
them the fellow was caught,
1t was then discovered that the
ball from Mr.. Pharr's pis oil had
entered the fellows upper lip, i'm,
mediately under the nose, plowed
along the upper jaw and lodged in
the cheek, just under the skin and
just forward of the base of his
ear. Dr. W. j. Emmer extracted
the ball and dressed the wound.
The prisoner first said his nam,
was Murphy, that he was from
West Virginia and that he was
bound for Beaumont oil fields. IL
his pockets were a number of en-
velopes addressed to William Tay
lor, bearing various post marks
but the letters were missing. Will
these envelopes was a card giving
the details of the personal descrip
ton of Taylor. He could assign
no reason for his attempt tc enter
Mr.. Pharr's residence. He was
under the influence of liquor.
AS he claimed to have friends al
Beaumont who would care fol
him, Mr.. Pharr raised no obiec
tons to his taking the night train
for that place.

Youthful Gamblers.

1Uuunlul OO1nUlUAp %
A large number OF the boys of
this city have developed a wonder
full fondness for gambling for
money. 1t is not difficult TO see
them congregated IN numbers about
the streets aud alleys IN various
parts of the town tossing nickels in
the air, Is future owner depending
apon which face turns up. In this
way boy possessed of few dimes
Is induced to take a hand in the
game and soon he and his money
are parted. The writer has IN
several Instances known boys not
only to loose all the money belong
iuo to them, but to gamble away
funds that they held for
others.
The writer has called the atten-
ton of the Chief Of Police, not
ouly TO the fact that such a game
was a common practice, but to the
game actually going on. The Chief
stated that he had noted the game
I'd players on former occas ons.
but that there was some question: as
to whether there was a city ordl-
nance which would exactly cover
the case.
The IBERIAN called attention to
the Ordinance of Decem Der 9Th,
1900, Section l3, and expressed the
OPINION that it fully covered the
caee and that the vicious and
demoralizing practice should be
broken up The ordinance is as
follows:
"Section Is. BE 1t further
ordained, etc., That all games
whatever at which money or
anything representing money, or
| article of value shall be bet Or
hazarded, all pitching of rings,
prize dealings, etc, as wei as
fiddllpg, dancing, banjo or
tamborlne playing on the streets or
on the sidewalks of the City Of
New Iberia are hereby prohibited,
and all persons violating the
provisions IF this section Of this
ordinance shall be guilty Of an
offence and upon conviction thereof
before the City Judge of New
Iberia Sin Ill be subject to a tiue of
not less than two dollars and fifty
cents nor more than twenty five
do'ta:s or to lmpr, sonment III the
corporation j all tor period OF not
less than one nor more than ten
days, or both a. the discretion OF
the City Judge"
If this ordinance does not cover
| and Is not aus quate to the necessl'
ties of aba!ing The offence, lei
an t;ltr be Immediately passed by
our City Fathers that will meet the
extgen.ies of Inc case. We are, te
oar shame, allowing our boys te
become trained gamblers, thieves,

ST. A YEAR,
Pure Water.

On last Tuesday we had the
pleasure of an interview in our
office, with Captain Nicols, dis
cussing at some length the merits
Of the system and method proposed
for handling the City's supply
of water. Captain Nicols stated
that this question is one command
inc the most earnest and careful
consideration of engineers
throughout this country. Pure
water would at some places in
yolve an expense which would
make its acquisition impracticable.
Filtration, through sand and
porous stones, has been tried at
enormous expense, with only
partial success. Miles and miles
of pipe lines have been laid
between cities and the source of
pure water with success-but this
pure water must be available
within the limit of expense that
the individual city may incur.
To all of which the IBERIAN
agrees.
The IBERIAN is also ready to
admit that the only source of
water at all fit for general use,
that will be within the means of
the city is possibly below the sur
face These water veins have
been tapped yielding the best
water we know of yet it has its
serious objections.
We also know, 10y tests, that
this water when allowed to stand
in an open vessel takes on peculia,
and interesting changes, emitting ;
gas and precipitating quantity
Of insoluble matter, the latter moi
being apparent in the water to The
eye when first drawn from til,
wells. This fact, that the water
will Of itself free itself of any o.
the foreign matter it holds il
solution when first drawn, bl
simply being allowed to stand il
an open basin exposed to the air
commits us to the belief that thu
original plan of the settling BASH
is by long odds superior to thu
! deep reservoir presently adopted.
- In the discussion OF the merits
of the presently proposed system
we suggested to the City Engineer
that a plan of water gates which
would force the water from thu
! artesian wells to flow upwards il
the deep reservoir and to fall bach
to the feed of the pump suction
pipe would be an Improvement
That these gates might be draw
or opened in order to meet thu
temporary emergency of greater
needs of the pumps This would
give greater opportunity for til,
escape of the gas than would l.,
possible by allowing the water tt
flow four feet, more or less, from
the mouths of the wells to the foo
of the suction of the pumps. This
idea was endorsed by Captain
Nicols and he suggested tn
Inexpensive means by which
may be accomplished
attach a I to the mouth of til,
artesian wells, then screw in /
nipple and to this a valve, which
latter may be arranged so as to %
controlled from the top of til,
reservoir. In the other opening O.

The valve closed, the water woult
flow up and out Of the top of til,

are stated by the correspondent as fol-
lows:
The syndicate addresses to manu-
featuring and commercial firms cir

hibition and the terms OF participation
As soon as the number of Would-be par
Elephants IS large enough to permit the
loading of vessel, the exhibitors send
their samples to the port of departure
These samples are then mounted and
exhibited on board the vessel, especially
fitted for this purpose.
80 Alongside of each exhibit there is an
advertisement giving prices and terms
of sale. Sales agents representing either
the syndicate or the individual exhibit
tors furnish all desired information TO
the visitors at the various ports where
the vessel stops. These sales agents are
chosen from among the young men as
well as the young women graduated
from commercial schools and speaking
at least two languages. Interpreters are
hired on the spot in each country OF q
new language. The sales agents, besides
seeing visitors aboard the ship, visit
also with their samples the towns in the
interior of the country In such manner
the cost of transportation is greatly re-
duced.
The exhibitors pay to the syndicate
q commission to be deducted from the
realized sales and in proportion to the
value of the product. In addition to this
commission the participants pay pro-
portionate share of the cost of charter
ing and loading the vessel and the gen
eral expenditure Of the undertaking,
such as the hire Of clerks, Interpreters,
etc.
