A Plank Walk.

Now that the Industrial School
will open in few days, the neces-
sity Of plank walk to the school
presents itself. There are two ways
by which the walk could be laid !;
one from Judge Mouton's corner
out Johnson street, about 1000 #.
estimated to cost $500, and one
from the Court House square out
Lafayette street, aboat 24oo feet,
estimated to cost $432. An effort
is being made to secure funds for
the purpose of.building along both
routes. by asking for subscriptions.
Should the required amount fail to
be raised, the city council will be
asked to supplement the amount
subscribed. It is to be hoped that
all citizens viii respond literally,
as it is very important for the sue
cess Of the school that the attendan
&c should be regular which during
bad weather could not be the case
without q. good walk; besides the
children S health should be con-
sidered. Sitting with wet feet all
day long is very liable to create
doctor bills that will pay for several
plank walks, not counting the
worry to parents, if nothing worse
should happen.

IMPROVEMENT OF SCHOOL.
Mayor Breaux Calls Special fleet
Ing of the Town Council.
An Appropriation Of $40 per
Month is made to Supplement
the Salary of Assistant
Teacher in Carencro.

In response to call from Mayor
Breaux the council of Carencro
passed an ordinance authorizing
its treasurer, Mr.. Albert Guidry to
pay $Io per month to the assistant
teacher in Carencro. This will
enable the town to secure the SER
vices Of a specially trained teacher
for the Primary Opt. Of the school
which will make first class work
possible and form solid founda-
ton upon which to build a Gram
mar or Graded school which the
town sorely needs and which the
progressive people are determined
to have.
It will be remembered that a
few days ago, Carencro raised
fund by subscription for the pur-
pose Of painting the bare walls Of
the school house. Now it decides
by taxing itself, to improve the
teaching force by putting trained
teacher where scientific training is
most needed-in the primary de-
partment. The public spirited
town has knocked sky-high th'
fallacious belief that ANYBODY
can teach young children. No
does the town propose to stoE

things, for we have it from promi-
nent progressive citizens of the
place that Carencro will not stop
the march of progression until its
school shall have attained the
standard of a recognized state
Grammar school with comfor-
table modern school-house, sup
piled with necessary school ap-
paratus. Once having established a
Grammar school Carencro will be
in line with the progressive towns
of the state and its school could
compare with any town of its size
in the state. The Advertiser COM
mends the public spirit of the
citizens of Carencro and urges up
on them to continue until the goal
is reached.
A good grammar school in Ca
rencro would furnish an advanced
course of study, not only to the
town, but to every child of the
sixth ward. The town is centrally
located and not more than 5 miles
distant from the farthest point in
the ward. 1t is a movement, there
| fore, that deserves the financial
support of the entire ward. Then
again. the grammar school, once
established, could be expanded
into a high school. The town will
be ready for a High school in a
few years and must have it. From
what has already been done we
have every reason to believe that
the men at the head of this move
ment will not stop short OF the
proposed high school. Other towns
not as large as Carencro support
high schools with ten-year
course, and Carencro has demon
strated that it fully intends to take
its place among the progressive
towns of this state. The time is
not far distant when the citizens
can point with pride to the United
States flag floating over the
school-house and say, THAT
| flag floats over our High school. !"
| In less than four hours of SOL
letting more than eighty dollars
was raised. The subscription list
is as follows:
In order to secure the services
of trained teacher for the
primary department of the
Carencro school, we, the
undersigned citizens obligate our
selves to pay the amounts opposite
our names to supplement the salary
paid by the Parish Board.

To this offer the American comman-
der replied that the time for negotia-
tions had passed.

General Smith has ordered all mate

whereabouts of insurrectionists if they
wish to return.
Five hundred natives of Catbalogan
have offered to fight the insurgents in
order to bring peace to the provinces.
Their offer has been accepted. At
daylight yesterday Lieutenant Banes,
of the Ninth infantry, attacked and
destroyed a rebel force, inflicting
heavy loss and captured the officers
at breakfast. He found an arsenal
with appliances for making and reload

SAVED HIS $4,000.
Professor ZeigIer's Pistol Duel With
Lone HiuEWayn1an,

Professor zeigIer's Pistol Duel With
Lone Highwayman.
Chicago, Dec. 3.-A lone highway
man and DR.. L. G. H. Zeigler, profess
sor of osteopathy, with Offices in Nc
Vicker's theater building, fought pis-
tol duel on the prairies west of Gar
field park for the possession of $4,000.
One bullet fiattened itself against the
doctors watch, just over his heart,
and a second bullet passed through
his silk hat and tore its way through
the nine $1,000 bills that were hidden
there in an envelope. The professor
believes one of his bullets struck the
assailant on the hand and the police
are searching for wounded bandit
Some weeks ago Professor Zeigler
advertised for 400 cadavers to be used
for purposes of demonstration at the
schools of osteopathy in Illinois and
other states. He announced in his pub
lished request for bodies that he was
willing to spend $4,000 for the num-
ber of cadavers he required, and the
police believe it was the publication
of these figures that led up to last
nights assault. The police believe the
hold-up to have been the outcome of a
conspiracy, one of the phases of which
was a confidence game whereby Zeig
Ter was entrapped into carrying $9,-
900 in cash on his person.

COLLINS DIREFUL PROPHECY.
Mississippi Man Says Earthquake Will
Swallow Wicked of That State.

S"0iIOW WIShCQ OF ] nat SCdISs
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 3-The Rev.
Samuel Collins, who states that he has
been Baptist minister since 1869,
has sent a communication to @le editor
OF one OF the Jackson papers in which
he declares that an earthquake will
occur i'll Mississippi on the 18th day of
March next, when all the wicked in the
cor mOnwealth will be destroyed.
Collins claims that he has been in
cor cnication with headquarters and
therefore receives his information from
an authentic source He says the
Lord appeared to him in a vision in
March, 1890, and stated that he was
going to sink the entire state of Mis-
sissippi, and for all the righteous to
flee to the holy ground of York, Ala,
and for the people of Tennessee to
keep away from the line.
Collins says that Vicksburg is in
special danger and will be dropped
down away out of sight.
He lives at Enterprise, in Clarke
county, and all persons who desire to
arrange for their personal safety are
requested to communicate with him at
that place.

cpiRIr DISTRIBUTORS MEET.
Over Fifty Delegates Attend ConVen
ton at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, Dec. 3-Following the
conference of the officers and execu.
tive committee yesterday the United
States Spirits association met here to.
day with over so leading distributors
present
In addition to the election of Off.
GERS the association will consider the
attitude of the independent distilleries
and a decreased output of the trust
distilleries. The principal question be.
fore this organization of the distribu-
tors, which is under contract to take
all the output of the distilleries in the
trust (known as the Distilling Compa-
nies of America) is the recent advance
of price to s1.32, which, the distribu-
tors claim, is proportionately much
greater than the advance in corn.
The distributors insist that they can
