A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special
prescription of DR.. A. Boschee,
a celebrated German Physician
and is acknowledged to be one
of the most fortunate discoveries
in medicine. It quickly cures
Coughs, Colds and all Lung
troubles of the severest nature,
removing, as it does, the cause
of the affection and leaving the
parts in a strong and healthy
condition. 1t is not an expert
mental medicine, but has stood
the test of years, giving satisfac-
ton in every case, which it's
rapidly increasing sale every
season confirms. Two million
bottles sold annually. Boschee s
German Syrup was introduced
in the United States in 1868, and
is now sold in every town and
village in the civilized world.
Three doses will relieve any Or
binary cough. Price % and IS

A Card.

Several poll taxes having been assessed on
the tax rolls placed in my Office by the as
SCISSOR for the years 1901 and 1902 against
married ladies; and said poll taxes having
been paid by them by others for them
without objection, it is now claimed by some
eviliy disposed persons that these payments
were made through errors of mine. This
emphatically deny under the law it is
made my duty to collect all taxes assessed
on the rolls except in cases where the tax
payer objects for legal cause, and after
compliance with the requisites of the statutes
in such cases. These taxes will no doubt be
refunded to these ladies upon application TO
the school board to whom they have been
paid by me.

All the wards of the parish
except the 9Th and the 7th wards
being represented in this Grand
Jury. It is to it's knowledge
that the work put on the roads
is not in proportion to the
amount of money expended.
Whilst it is our opinion that
there has been no irregularity
or abuse in the expenditures of
these funds. we believe that in
some cases the unsatisfactory
results might be due to the in
competency of rOad-OverSeerS or
the neglect of members of the
Police Jury, to see that the roads
in their respective wards are
properly worked; we repeat that
if the desired result is not
obtainable under the prevailing
system we fail to see why that
system should not be changed.
Being convinced that our Police
Jury is intelligent enough to find
the remedy to the evil, we deem
it their duty to do SO.
We have called Mr.. Alleman,
superintendent of public schools,
before us and he reports the
condition of the public schools
as satisfactory; he states that
the attendance of children to the
public schools is increasing in
such a degree, that what means
are now at the disposal of the
School Board will soon be insult
ticient, and he thinks that the
means of raising money for tn at
purpose should be attended to.
Concerning this we are of the
opinion that the question of a
special tax for that purpose
should be submitted to a popular
vote We were pleased to see
that Mr.. Alleman agrees with us
as to the Importance of good
public highways, not only for
the general prosperity of the
parish. but for the special bene-
fit of public education. He

LAFAYETTE Parish. L.

The Grand Jury empanneled
for the present term of this
Honorable Court, having com
pleted their Investigations beg
leave through their foreman to
respectfully submit the follow
ing report:
We have examined the parish
Jail and found the prisoners
therein confined, properly and
humanely treated. The deputy
sheriff in charge of the Jail de-
serves our compliments for the
general cleanliness and sanitary
condition of the Jail and pris-
oners, as we'll as for cOurtesies
extended US whilst in the per-
Torrance of our duty.
The sheriff's Office was also
visited and found in it's usual
condition, intelligently and sys-
tematically kept.
The clerks office was also
found as well kept and carried
on as ever; we are pleased to say
the same of the assessors office.
At the risk of exposing our
selves like other Grand Juries
before US to adverse criticism
we deem it our duty to again
breach the subject of public
roads. Like several of our pre-
decessOrS we are of the opinion
that the public roads of the par
ish are not built and kept in ac-
cordance with the amount of
money available for that purpose.
We believe that the trouble
comes from the fact that the
system now prevailing is de-
fective; it has in spite of differ
ent other systems suggested
from different quarters, been
persisted in with unsatisfactory
results, and the cause of COM
plant remains the same. We
find from the treasurer's books
that the following amounts have
been collected and appropriated
to each ward for road purposes,

a Depl0rable Accident.

crowd of ladies and gentlemen
Assem- bled at Broussardville to
witness the dedication exercises
of the handsome new public
school building of that pro-
gressive little town. 1t had been
announced that Prof. Alcee For
tier of Tulane University would
address the people, and this at
traction, together with the great
interest taken in the cause of
public education drew very
large attendance.
The Sontag Military Band of
this place had volunteered their
services to the management for
the occasion, and several of our
citizens accompanied them to
Broussardville.
The people had congregated
in the hall on the second floor of
the building early in the after
noon. The band boys had placed
themselves in the shade just be-
meath the small gallery and stair
way leading to the upper floor,
in the rear of the building, and
just as they began playing, a
rush was made to the gallery,
which was too weak to bear its
burden and collapsed and
dropped to the ground. Quite a
crowd had Assem- bled around the
musicians, and the gallery and
the number of persons on 1T fell
in a mass on these. For a while
great excitement prevailed and
it was thought many had been
mortally injured. Two of the
musicians, Eloi Broussard and
Anatole Pyatt were seriously
wounded, Broussard receiving
injuries in the chest and Pyatt
principally about the head, an
eye having been almost pulled
out. The other injured persons
were residents of the neighbour
hood of Broussardville. A Son of
Geo. Malagarie received painful
wounds. Others who sustained
injuries are Mrs. Lucas Ber-
nard, a son of Norbert Reaux,
Miss Duhon, and two children
by the name of Comeau and
Landry. In all fifteen persons
were hurt None of the injuries
have resulted fatally. Drs. Gil
rard, K. Comeau. Delaureal and
Stromer were on the grounds at
the time of the occurrence and
rendered prompt medical atten-
ton.
The people of Broussardville
did all in their power to relieve
the suffering, and none regret
the accident more than they do.
The wounded were brought into
their homes and every com fort
extended them.
No blame can attach to any
one for the accident. The gallery
and stairway were newly built,
and only the extraordinary rush
could cause its giving away.
Superintendent Alleman had
called the attention of the car
penter to the nature of the con-
structiOn and advised him to be
certain to make it strong, but
was assured that as it was built
the gallery was perfectly safe
But The Gazette does not wish
to blame even the carpenter.
For ordinary purposes the con-
structiOn would have answered,
and it was only the great weight
placed on it that caused it's
collapse. The deplOrable acct
dent is regretted by everyone.
1t was a sad ending to an auspi-
cious day. From the reports
that could be obtained those un-
fortunate enough to be the VIC
tins are doing we'll, and The
Gazette, with the people of the
parish, fervently hope for their
speedy and complete recovery.
