SANTA FE MAKES GOOD SHOW
a. G, Jobcs Has Returned From New


A c. Jobes returned last Sunday from
New York. at which place he attended a
meeting Of the directors of the Santa Fe
He says the business of the road makes
a good showing.
Mr. Jobes says that the meeting de-
clared a dividend of two and one-half
per cent on the preferred stock. This is
done serni-annually making five per cent
a year. The common stock now earns
four per cent per annum which puts the
old Santa Fe is pretty good position.
In spite of the failure Of crops last
year the gross earnings of the Santa Fe
were about four million dollars over those
of 1881 This common stock five years
ago was selling on the market for five TO
ten per cent of it's par value and two
years ago for twenty per cent and now il
sells for eighty cents. Some OF the
spectators might have been wearing dia-
monds If they had stayed by the Santa
Fe.
When asked II the directors talked
about doing anything for Wichita. Mr.
Jobes said there was too many towns
on the Santa Fe for the directors to talk
about them The matter OF adjusting
freights is left entirely with the officers
who operate the lines.

BOARD DID NOT MEET
VIII Take Action on Mason Case
Next Monday.

The board OF education did not meet
last night TO consider the case OF Miss
Anna Mason, as it had been announced
IL would. and the indications are that no
formal meeting viii be held until next
Monday night when an adjourned meet
ing of the session Of a week ago will
be held.
DR. Horner, president of the board.
said yesterday to a reporter for the
Eagle that the members of the board
had talked among themselves and had
about concluded what course they will
follow but added that it was not thought
advisable TO make public what that ac-
ton viii be.
"WIl the matter be definitely settled
next Monday night?7 asked the reporter
Some action viii be taken" was the
reply, but l do not know as the matter
will be settled then.
The members Of the board think the
teachers should feel that they are en-
ployed and employed by the board con-
tinued the president Of that body. I'VE
are accountable to the public for our
actions and # a bad selection is made
the public makes Us responsible. 1 think
that the teachers should consider the
board as their employers. If the board
thought best to let out the entire old
corps Of teachers and should do so, I do
not believe it should be criticised for its
action.
Speaking Of the abandonment OF the
meeting last night, Rodolph Hatfield
said:
we were hasty at our meeting last
Monday night and should not be hasty
In making the corrections.
Besides taking up the case Of Miss
Mason at the meeting Monday night.
the board viii probably consider the
question of building an addition to the
Lincoln school as that was the special
matter for which the meeting was ar
ranged.
II the ways and means committee is
ready, "A report viii be made on the finan-
cial condition Of the school and on the
assessed valuation of the city property.
If the condition Of the school funds JUS
titles. there viii be a revision of the
salary list before school begins. Or.
Horner stated yesterday that the teach
ers were not getting enough money. and
year ago Rodolph Hatfield. chairman
of the committee on teachers and sal
aries stated that he thought the salaries
would be raised this year.

BOY CHARGED
WITH BURGLARY
Arrested by the Police Sunday
Afternoon,
ENTERED THREE TIMES
Ed Nelson Is Lad Charged
With the Deed.

Ed Nelson. a boy about Il years Of
age, was arrested Sunday afternoon.
charged with burglary and grand larce-
ny. and yesterday afternoon a warrant
was sworn out against him in the city
court and the lad viii be taken to the
county jail this morning.
J. W. Henson is the complainant. He
alleges that Ed Nelson broke into his
house three times, the last one Friday,
and took a revolver ore time and a fine
gold watch at another. Mr.. Henson lives
at the corner Of Mccormick and Glenn
avenues. He is a bachelor and his house
is quite distance away from any other
habitation. He told the police that with
in the last six weeks his house was en-
tered by someone three different times.
One time they stole watch and last
Friday a fine revolver. Saturday the
matter was reported TO the police. Mr.
Henson said he cid not consider the mat
ter Of enough Importance TO report it
until the third robbery.
The officers began looking around the
West Side to find trace OF some Of the
missing articles. and they found the re-
volver at the home of gardner named
Snyder He told them who gave him
the gun and Ed Nelson was arrested
Up TO this time nothing had been said
of the watch being missing. When the
lad was arrested at his home he asked
permission TO go upstairs and. accom-
panied by an officer. he went 10 his
room and threw watch into his trunk.
Yesterday morning when Mr.. Henson
came down 10 the station he asked about
his watch and Immediately the officers
went TO the boys room and brought the
watch back. which Mr.. Henson posi-
lively identified.
The boy was brought up 10 the office
and 'sweated' and he finally owned up
TO taking the watch and revolver but not
to breaking into the house.
Ed Nelson lives with his crippled moth
er near the Catholic Brothers college.
The family is in rather destitute cir
and the boy has been doing
some work for the gardeners on the
West Side and thus aiding in the sup
port of large family. He is tall IN
kempt and acts peculiarly at times. but
otherwise appears as sharp as anyone Of
his age. He was always considered trust
worthy by all who knew him until he
was arrested Sunday for an alleged bur

Frorsa The EEigl, school

up at such unreasonable hours?
Trom The High school.
Perhaps a few lines, a few notes
from the High School, would be
read with interest by some, espe-
cially those who have boys and
girls here, parents who since the
beginning OF this grand old insti-
tuition have stood by it in it's hour
OF prosperity and backed it up in
it's hour of misfortune. Philan-
thropists, who when the emergency
demanded men of genuine pocket
book stamina, We're found ready to
put their hands to the wheel and
amelforate the predicament in
which the trend OF fortune had
placed the boys and girls of the St.
Landry High School.
We are moving on now in our
work, grinding in good old Abe
Lincoln fashion, each day seeing
the beginning and the closing OF
good days work.
The annex is being furnished, the
kindergarten delegation, under
Miss Pearl Harmanson, have mov-
ed into their new quarters and
their juvenile exclamations Of de-
light would gladden. the heart of a

From them:
Not cheering word
Not hopeful note
AS our course to the classroom we hurry.
The Grammar BIS will soon
tramp, tramp, tramp down the
stairs and take their places in the
new polished desks and gaze at
their mirrored profiles in glee. But
they will be down stairs and that
is the only thorn in their coronet.
The TT. S. C's are learning few
things, principal Of all is that there
is no excellence Or even "passn
without labor-the boys are vying
for the lead--the girls say "non and
Miss Bilelle says "no;;" SO the
carnage goes on.
The juniors are few in number
this year, but they cut a big figure
in the student body and In the lit
erary society they are invaluable.
The seniors are numerous, a strong
class this year, and are forging,
grinding pass a GeometricaI pie,
pass Algebraic unscalable noun
tains and are determined to follow
the poet Miller's advice, and asail
on, sail on to the very gates of Her
cules,o Ii necessary.
The enrolment at the present
writing is past Ats, and the new
desks are needed for the unfurnish-
ed department, paint is needed for
the building, but we need an edu-
cation, and so have the far-sighted
citizens of Opelousas and many
from the st. Landry prairies wisely
concluded. So the school goes on
and where crickets would have
awoke the silent echoes of the
campus the merry voices Of the
happy youths resound and where
darkness and silence would have
been perpetual in the halls and
class rooms, sunshine and the
tramp of youthful columns is seen
and heard daily.

of Yves Ardoin and Mamie Thomp-

and fell asleep at the home Of her
grandfather, DR.. E. Thompson, on
April 4th OF the same year.
One less on earth, one more in
heaven. There was never a scene
that impressed me more than the
mortal remains of this dear child
as it lay on snowy bed, decked
with the sweetest aud purest foW-
ers. The tiny hands clasped on its
bosom, a spray of delicate roses
The face wore faint sweet heaven
" smile.
Little Vivian came into this
world as a bright ray of sunshine,
to illuminate the lives OF her be-
loved parents. But it was only a
few short days before an angel
winged its way from the pearly
