The Su nday Law.

1t has been many years since
the Sunday law has been enforced
or respected in Iberia parish for
four consecutive weeks as it is now;
and in chronicling the fact the
Iberian wishes to extend cungrat
ulations all arOund-to the officers
of the law, to the saloon men, and
and the people in general, Let
us have a general hand shaking,
and let us toast each other.
The moral wave which has
struck us may be visitation from
on high, but the Iberian should
like to.think, also, that it is due to
causes on earth.
1t may be that the saloons are
closed now through fear and res
pect of the law, and as result OF
the strict performance of duty OF
the part OF our court. The chances
are, too, that the proprietors and
operators of saloons have at last
recognized the baneful influences
exercised by them Indirectly out
of desire to please, on Sunday,
their regular patrons, and through
their greed for lucre; and have
now decided not only to be lawful
citizens, but to bring up their own
families with that respect for law
which is necessary for good citi-
zenship, and to teach those lessons
by example rather than precept.
And probably, also, the moral ideas
of the citizens have so grown
| in the last few years as to force
the present condition, and that the
whole affair is a natural and syste-
matte growth. Anyway the Sun
day law is enforced and respected
now, and whatever the causes may
be that are responsible for it. we,
the citizens of Iberia, have reason
to congratulate ourselves. Where
there is mo respect for law, NOR
atty is at an extremely law ebb.
| The Iberian takes the stand that
the law ought to be enforced as
long as it is on the statute books
Of Louisiana; and to the end that
| its enforcement may continue, II
will work with tireless energy and
continuous effort. If the law is
unpopular, as has been said sc
often, erase it from the statute
books. The Iberian is not oppos
ed to drinking on Sunday it il
Just as bad or as good on tha-
day as anyother- but it is oppos
ed to the violation of any law, a
any time, and under any circum
stances.

welcome and then he proceeded to

Burglars Active

When it comes to the question
of activity among burglars, those
of New Iberia are not so very
slow nor lazy.
Another attempt was made to
enter the store of Smith, DeBlanc
and Suberbielle last Sunday night;
but the druggist OF the Esforge
Drug Co., next door, was awaken
ed bv the noise, got up ana

Good Health

and pure blood are inseparable. If
your blood is bad, your health must suf-
fer. Poor blood allows the body to lose
vitality just as poor fire under the
boiler allows the steam to run down.
From poor blood to impure blood is but
step, and impure blood is mother to
large percentage of human ills. DIR.
Harter's Iron Tonic is an antidote for
both poor and impure blood, for it is
both a builder and purifier - food

nation of the kind known to medical
science, and its success for nearly half
a century has led to its endorsement by
thousands of medical men who have
been unable to find a substitute.

A Statement OF Facts.

Communications
At a general meeting Of the At
takapas Club on the evening of
July 18th, 1902, held for the pur-
pose of considering proposition
to change from the present quart
ers to the new quarters to be pro-
vided for the Club over our place
of business, the Rev. &C Kramer
in presenting arguments againt
the change overstepped the bounds
of propriety and made personal
attack upon me, that i'll justice to
myself and to the gentlemen who
supported our proposition, | am
called upon to resent.
Drawing upon his inauguration
with absolute disregard for the
truth, Mr.. Kramer attempted a
review of the history of the exis
tence of the Consolidated Teche
Exchange, "a merger of the old
Teche Club and The Mechanics
and Traders Exchange) and charg
ed that | had manipu ated to have
the quarters changed to my place
of business, and by further scheem-
ing had absorbed the club, while
its nucleus Of a library (which was
particu' arly dear to his heart was
sacrificed to Mr.. James Gebert for
a paltry sum, and enlarglng upon
these false premises, this over
jealous advocate proceeded fur

malicious attempt to fasten upon
me the responsibility for the col
lapse Of the Teche Exchange.

existance dated from Dec. 1889 to
Feb 1891, when the consolidation
was effected with the Mechanics

which consolidation gave birth to

in a final judgement with costs

corded on Aug. 10Th, 1892.
The quarters of the Club, in the
meantime, had been moved to the
cd Opera House, and shortly
after this, | was urged by mem
Ders to make proposition for the
removal of the Club to my build

position was accepted in the hope
that the more central location

and that 1t might relieve itself of
its financial embarrassment.
About this time Mr.. Robertson

During all of this time, the Rev

TO depart from the long established GUS
tom TO the adoption of the shirtwaist

feminine hot weather garment now
characterize the masculine shirt. Plaits
have supplemented stiff bosoms. The

ing of which insures the greatest
amount of comfort and ease, is made
with absolute simplicity, plain in the
front except for the center plait. The
attached cuffs are OF the same material
as the shirt. Drassier shirts have plalts
introduced. generally four on each side
of the center plait. The attached cuffs
are Of the shirt material, but frequently
these plated shirts are made up Sith
