No JEALOUSY EXISTS.

Tie Nailey-of-the-Teche In its
last sssas had an article treating
wpor the Jealousy existing between
St. NsrtinTille and Breaux Bridge,
because cur people failed to pa
treaize them at the 6remea's fair
there some time age.
We can assure our friend of the
Valley that if any Jealousy exists,
Il is not from the people of st.
Martinviiie Many of eur people
are very much interested in the
development and prosperity of
Breaux Bridge and its entire sur
rounding section, as they ara di-
rectly interested in the best enter
prises of that town
The fault OF the failure of our
people to patronize Breaux Bridge,
can easily be explained, in the
first place, our friends of Breaux
Bridge did not make enough use
of printers ink, they did not pro-
perly advertise their fair, as We
have seen here only two posters.
and they were posted after our
boys had gone to Opelousas and
made arrangement for the game to
take place here. but even after the
arrangement was made our people
thought it was possible to have
the game take place in Breaux
Bridge, and when steps were taken
in this matter, it was learned that
the Opelousas people had made
arrangement to run an excursion
to St Martinville to see the game,
this, of course, forced our people
to drop the idea of having the
game in Breaux Bridge.
We can assure our friends of
Breaux Bridge. that our people
regretted that the game was ar
ranged and the visit Of our Opel
ousas friends here fell on the day
of their fair, because almost the
entire town intended to he in
Breaux Bridge on that day, but
under the circumstances they
could not do otherwise.

CA SEMBROUILLE.

The politicians Of the outside,
ser old ring held caucus here
"Wednesday to try to patch up
xnattcrs aud bring the candidates
together in order to form strong
xtci1et to 90 before the primaries
90 opposition to the inside ring, or
Badon faction. There were three
candidates for the sheriffs Office,
David Rees, III. P. Fournet and l..
C. Guidry, each one, we suppose,
believed he would be the strong
est candidate, refused to withdraw
in favor of the other.
After discussing the matter the
whole day, it was decided to call a
mass meeting of the voters at
Parks, on Sunday September 18th,
to select full parish ticket, this
ticket will then be submitted at
the primaries in opposition to the
Badon ticket.
"Ca Sembrouille, ct ca s'dr-
range" on, "s'drrdngera pdsr'
We considered that the Badon
faction has lost great deal of its
influence and was weak. and if a
good strong ticket was selected it
could be easily defeated, but it
must be admitted that the wrang-
Cling of the outsiders and their
eagerness to get the best Office,
will create dissatisfaction among
their ranks and weaken their chan
ces of success.
At that mass meeting, or con-
vention. call it as you please, all
white men will be entitled to par
ticipate in the choice of the candi-
dates, whether they are qualified
or not, and while the outsiders
will have three candidates, and
their supporters devided into
three camps, the supporters of the
Badon faction can 90 there in
solid body and give their support
to the candidate they will believe
the easiest to defeat. By this
means they leave to the Badonites
the selection of weak ticket for
them to defeat.
The political situation since the
caucus of Wednesday is strongly
in favor of the inside ringsters.

AT THIS WRITING.

The latest from the seat of the
political war has it that Justice
Blanchard will resign the coming
week and enter the canvass for
Governor. Immediately he will
make his formal announcement,
which will cover his position on
the primary and patronage ques-
tions. On Friday of last week his
friends had a conference at the st.
Charles Hotel, New Orleans, at
which the resignation and an
noucement were discussed. 1t is
said by those who should know
that the Judge will favor prima-
ries, and while he holds that there
has been no abuse of the patro-
mage power, he favors its return to
the people where it belongs.
Neither Price or Michel have
made an announcement of their
candidacy, but it is expected that,
after Blanchard has made his for
NAL announcement, these gentle
men will follow suit. Ledoux
Smith, of Rapides, will be a can
didates for Aupitor. He is at pre-
sent State Treasurer, Jno. Marks,
of Assumption, is spoken of for

Mr.. j. Ward Gurley, district at
torney of the Parish of Orleans,
was assassinated in his office in
New Orleans, Monday, by crank
named Lewis w. Lyons, who shot
Mr.. Gurley three times, inficting
wounds that caused his death a
few minutes after.
After completing his bloody
deed, the murderer turned his own
weapon, a revolver, to himself and
fired, with suicidal intent, but he
is not dead, and may recover.
Lyons had employed Mr.. Gurley
in a suit for damages some time
ago, having been accused for steal
ing diamonds, of which charge he
was acquitted. After his acquit-
tai he sued his accusers for DANA
ges and lost his suit, and ever
since he has been under the i'm
preston that Mr.. Gurley had con-
nived to defeat him in his suit.

Senator Gabriel has introduced q bill
which, II passed, will drive every patent
medicine company out Vt business IN
Kansas. This bill Is introduced 1T near
~ every session at the instance Of a few
country doctors who believe they are
losing out on a few prescriptions because
Of the Use Of proprietary medicines. The
facts are that many people who are un'
able to secure or pay for the services Of
a skilled physician use proprietary medl.
olnes with good results and little expense,
There Is not a reputable physician who
ID In favor Of the bill, as It stands. That
the vendors and the proprletors Of Ger.
tain classes Of patent medicines should
be restricted, Is probably true, but to
class the hundreds Of meritorous medl.
clnes with these Is a gross bluhder.
1t Is not thought possible that the
legislature will be so stupid as to pass
the Gabriel bill. II 1t does every legis-
lator who votes for 1t will hear from bis
constituents In no uncertain tones, for
there Is hardly a family in the state which
does not use proprietary medicines to a
greater or less extent. The Gabriel bill
Is a farce, -LeavenwOrth Times.

"A
SPOTTER"
BY WILLIAM A. MORAN
NepynsAA isol BY Authors syndica.s)

"CPEAKING Of 'spotters,'" said
y Isam Johnson to . party Of
railroad men, reminds me Of an ex-
perience I had one night last August
in Colorado"
1sam's fame as "a mar Of odd expert.
ences" is well known, and whenever
he wishes to tell a story he always
finds q willing audience. He gave up
the ministry to become 8 sleeping car
porter, which position he still holds, al
though he is expecting to lose II at
any time. Not that he fears to be dis
charged, however, for he thinks that
that would be too much good luck, but
be expects either to be killed OF
manned. He thinks himself q hoodoo.
Every trip he has made in the past five
years has been marked by some IN.
usual incident, and he believes that in
some way the cause of these affairs has
been traceable directly to him.
"Black and ugly and ungainly as ]
am" he often remarks, "why wouldn't
l be a'hoodoo? Look at these eyes
red as Holsters. Look at these lips,
they look like hunks of liver. Look at
these fetal over the ground" And
delivering thus himself he dove into his
story.
Speaking Of 'spotters,'" he said,
reminds me Of how, one night last Aus
gust, my heart was set agoing by a we'll
dressed, hgh-toned chap who got
aboard my car at Elborn and bought a
berth to Winston. Winston, you know,
Is nothing but a telegraph office and
a water tank, at the top Of the conti-
divide, on the G. 0. & T. Il. rail-
road. Our train stops there at half
past three q. M, and there isn't an,
other town, house nor sign Of a house
within is miles. Iasked myself: What
could a delicate tenderfoot do at Wins,

could go in the mountains and lose

the party more than they hurt 1t. They
belonged in the Republican party and
got there sooner or later. In Kansas the
boss busters were temperamentally Dem.
ocratic and this year a good many ofthem
voted that way. A Republican Is natur-
ally and temperamently a booster and a
Democrat is naturally a buster. There Is
no reflection on the personal integrity or
the moral sense of a man Ia this. Nor
does the classification effect a mans llse-
fulneGs In the economy OF nature. The
Lord has as much use for the lugubrious
minor Of the brooding jackass as for the
dulcet phrasings of the mocking bird,
and often the carefully aimed kick Of the
impatient mule Is a thing Of high and
lofty service. But It doesn't change the
mental habit of the kicker; kicking comes
from the heart, not from the environ
ment, and 1t doesn't make a man or mule
any happier to kick. Itrslmply relieves
his desire.
Young men should examine themselves
and determine early in life where they
are going to land. For IN a boosting
crowd a man just naturally has to lift up,
to lend a hand, 10 20 forward. And 10 a
busting crowd, the lever pulls the other
way; it's bust and destroy and knock
and clamor and kick. 1t may be a ques-
ton which Is the more useful of the two
crowds; for there Is no losa in the econo-
my Of nature. But 1t Is mighty easy to
see which Of the two crowds Is The hap
pier. And happiness when 1t Is honestly
attained, Is about the best thing one gets
out Of life Ia this world William Allen
