WANTS HIS CHILD
Beaumont Lawyer in Lafayette
1-Os'king up Evidence For
the Suit.

Mr.. Bowen, an attorney from
Beaumont, was in Lafayette this
week for the purpose of secur-
ing information which is to be
used in suit pending in the
Beaumont court. Mr.. Bowen
represents a family at Beaumont
who have adopted the child of
one Eustrop Badeaux, at one
time a resident of this place.
The child, now boy of ; years,
was adopted by family at
Beaumont when his mother died
and left him friendless and with
out a home. 1t was the good
fortune of the little orphan to be
adopted by the charita BILE people
in whose hOspitable home he is
now being cared for. The family
have had undisputed possession
of the child until recently when
the father, Eustrop Badeaux,
Instituted legal proceedings in
the court at Beaumont asking
UIldU 1le- Oe Hld1lue G1le Sudiuldu
of his offspring. The man Ba
deaux was divorced from his
wife in 1898, the suit having been
brought by the latter in the dis
trict court of this parish. By
referring to the records of the
divorce suit, Attorney Bowen
secured some valuable infOrma-
ton which will be used by the
of the boy to show
that the father is not fit person
to be entrusted with the guar
dianShip of his progeny. The
family, who are now very fond
of their little ward, will fight the
case to a finish as they are deter
mined not to give the child to his
father unless compelled to do SO
by judgment of court, which is
very improbable.

LOCAL. MERCHANTS
Want to be Protected Against
Unfair Competition of Travel
ing Dealers.
week.

A number of the retail dealers
of this town met in Pellerin &
DeClOuet'S store last Thursday
for the purpose of adopting some
measure to protect them selves
against the unfair competition of
travelling statesmen who do Il reg
ular retail business. These peo-
pie carry ii line of samples and
sell goods in any quantities
from the smallest to the largest
order. without being made to
pay the municipal or parOchial
license which the local mer-
chants must procure before they
are permitted to do business.
The meeting appointed com
mittee to seek relief at the hands
of the Council which will be
asked to adopt some ordinance,
if one is not already in existence,
to put a stop to this very unjust
inatiOn against the home
dealers. The town merchants
want nothing unrea SOnable.
They simply ask that the travel
ing retailers be made to pay Il
license if they wish to do retail
business, and if it is possible to
do so we have no doubt that the
Council will enact the desired
legiSlat ton. The following firms
wer" represented at the meet
ing: Moss & Co.. Gus Schmulen,

SATURDAYS TOWN MEETING.

RDAY TOW N MEETING.
Saturdays town meeting to consider
the question of building union
schoolhouse at Charlottesville and an
addition to the Center school building
for high school purposes, brought out
an attendance which filed the hall.
Hon w. Frank Kinney was chosen
chairman. Chauncey Marsh intro
duced the resolutions calling for the
expenditure of $751; 500 for the purposes
and spoke earnestly in favor of the
same. William Green thought the
town could not be taxed too highly for
educational purposes. Former Select
man J. Leroy Buck made sensible
speech, which seemed to be supported
by considerable body of the conserva-
tive business men. He thought by
repairing the Chicken hill building and
relieving the pressure of members in
the lower rooms in the Center school
building the necessity of building a
new schoolhouse might be avoided. He
did not think New Milford was in a
position to support a high school and
that the financial condition of the
farmers did not warrant large out
lay of money at the present time.
Charles Hall referred to the crowded
condition of the Center school build
ing and spoke in favor of the resolu-
ton. He thought the town ought to
have high school so that the boys
and girls could be prepared for college.
Charles Soule thought that the tax
payers ought to be willing to be taxed
for educational purposes.
Andrew M. Booth spoke against the
measure. He said the town was labor
ing under 14-mill tax, and one of the
selectmen had stated to him that be
believed a 15-mill tax would be requir-
ed next year. Mr. Booth called atten
ton to the fact that few years hence
the Town bridge would have to be re
placed at an expense of $4,000, and il
this was the case a few years hence
the town would be struggling under a
2O-mill tax.
Editor Joshua A. Bolles thought thu
taxpayers ought to take a broad view
of the financial condition of the town
before launching into so large an ex
penditure, and that there were othe
projects beside educational that mus
be supported.
Roger Hartwell thought that if tn
outside schools were better maintaine'
there would be no need of this addi
tion to the Center school building.
H. Leroy Randall said that Will
he favored taking broad view of tn
finances Of the town, he thought tn
town could not spend too much 70
\ educational purposes and charity.
Attorney J. F. Adds moved that
l committee of five be appointed to cor
slider the matter and report at an &C
journed meeting to be held on Marc
Is. The committee named consisted {

AN ACTIVE AND POPULAR PASTOR SUR.
PR1sED.<
Some time since it occurred to some
Of the Juvenile members of the Epworth
League of the Methodist church in
New Milford, that it might be a good
joke to perpetrate surprise on their
worthy pastor, Rev G. L. Taylor. And
having discovered, ''purely by acct
dent" that his birthday came ON the
day before St Valentines day, it was
thought fitting occasion. So the
young people, ranging from upwards
of 60 years down to nine, to the num-
Der of 60 d more met in the chapel.
and about>o O'Clock, without any warn
ing, marched in body into the par
sonage, taking the good pastor and
his wife completely by surprise. A
Serviceable office or desk chair. uphOl
stored in leather, was presented the
pastor as a reminder that he must not
neglect his study. A large size valen-
tine decorated with fish hooks, and a
representation of a possibility of fish
hooks in the chair suggested the idea
of practical joking in the Juvenile
mind. Although DR. Taylor was taken
so completely by surprise, he was not
nonplussed by any means, and the
most lively and wide-a-wake young
man of 81 years in these parts was in
evidence the rest of the evening. A
short business meeting of the League
was held to receive some new members.
At that time DR. Taylor announced
that the goat was in readiness for in
itiating. Also that he had a sharp
pitchfork to stir him up with. Where
upon one of the candidates seized his
hat and overeoat to withdraw. But
he was prevailed upon to remain. His
recommendation was challenged, but
after due explanation the challenge
was withdrawn, and he was accepted.
DR. Taylor denounced'himself as stupid
not to have birthdays oftener than
once a year, and declared he would
have them once week henceforth.
All too soon came tine hour for leaving,
and the company withdrew, expressing
the desire that the doctor might spend
many happy birthdays with this
people.
