Hooaxs Like business.

Three carloads of machinery ar
rived here last week for the ST. Lam
dry Irrigation and Developments
Company. It consist oftwo dredges,
or excavatlng machines, and will
be used In building the company s
canal trough this parish, promoted
by Mr.. Welman Bradford.
One dredge weighs five tons, and
in said to be the largest and finest
that ever crossed Mason and DICK
som slime, with the exception of
the one MT the mouth of the Miss
issippi river, which is of a like make.
1t is capable OF completing hall
mile of canal a day, lifting four Gu
bic yards ofearth every half minute
It is a mammoth concern.
The expert to work the machine
arrived Sunday, and proceeded TO
Washington.
Mr.. Bradford tells us that ne flas
not determined whether he would
unload the machinery at this point
or at Washington. He is awaiting
the Injunction suit now pending,
disputing his right-of- Way through
Mr.. +. G.. LAWYERS tract of land in
Plaisance. He says that in case he
sees that the suit will be long,
drawn, he will proceed to work with
the big machine on his main line,
and work the smaller machine on
the lateral, that is, the canal rum
ming through che Iawier tract.
In that case he will unload the
machinery at Washington; were It
not for the pending suit be tells as
that he would begin work at this
end of the lateral at once. His right
OF way, he tells us, is clear on the
main canal. Mr.. Bradford says
that he fears the suit will prevent
him from furnishing water along
the route of the lateral the coming
season; but he Is confident that the
main line viii be ready for business
in ample time.

K'iae Hotel.

The prospects for q fifty thousand
dollars hotel building are now of
the most rosy hue. In fact, we real
ly can't see wfatcan happen to pre-
vent the eeonsumation ofthis much
desired project. Our people are en-
Unused over the scheme, and have
gone TO work la such manner that
success Is bound TO be achieved.
At meeting of the subscribers
held Friday evening charter cap
ataliziug the Opelousas Hotel &
Realty Company at S25. 900 was adj
opted, and the following Board of
Directors WAS chosen: E. NJ Boagni,
president; DR.. Jno. A. Haas, vice.
president; p. T. Blacksher, Ike Roos
and Thos. III. Lewis.
The Board, we are informed, win
consider the building a modern
opera house in connection with the
hotel. Whites hotel is of vast more
necessity TO the town, still 0pe-
lousas could easily stand an opera
house. It is an undisputed fact
that good shows are spoiled by the
inability TO stage the scenery. And
on cold cold nights one attends
theatre at the risk Of his life. One
little stove perched in q corner has
to supply the heat for the large
cold, airy opera house, and unles:
you are muffed la Esquimaux, yot
are In no fix TO enjoy the perfor
nance. But we want the hote
first, aud then il the opera building
house can be built in conjunction
we'll take that also.

Road Contract System.

Every man who came in from
the country In the past two weeks
sang the same song about the con-
dition OF the public roads In the
parish-all told the same tale, no
matter from what section they
halted. The old Vile Platte road

told, although tho road contractor
had made q passable road of it.

band that the ssCalf would eat up

of the Clarion, and recall to mind

Police .yury.

The Police Jury held right live
ly three days. session this week.
Several matters of Importance came
before it for consideration, and the
solons were Cup against it" hard.
About the toughest problem thev
had to solve was the road question,
and that was hard enough for any,
body. The people seemed TO be dis
satisfied with the recent ordinance
providing that the parish should
work It's own roads, furnishing all
the material to a superintendent
to do the work. 1t was claimed
that the plan was not practicable;
that only certain portions of the
parish would be worked.
The pressure brought to bear
caused the police jury TO repeal the
the new ordinance, and readopting
the ordinance of last year, provid-
Ing that the roads be sold by con-
tract.
Another nut hard to crack was
the matterof Capt. Haas. The late
Grand Jury indicted the Captain
for selling liquor without q license.
He was tried by the District Judge,
and found not guilty. At the fol-
lowing meeting Of the police jury
M. l.. Swords, sheriff and ex-officio
tar collector, applied to that body
for Instructions as to whether he
should institute civil auit against
Capt. Haas and others for selling
Honor without a license, with the
object In view of collecting the
licenese. The police jury replied
they had no instructin to give the
sheriff. Thereupon civil proceed
Ing was instituted by the Sheriff
against Haas and others, and . day
set for the trial. When that day
arrived, and the case was called up,
Capt. Haas attorneys announced
to the court that it was useless TO
proceed, as Capt. Haas would pay
the license. At the meeting OF the
police Jury Monday q motion was
made 60 exact one thousand
dollars from Capt. Hass for the
year 1902, provided he Haas took
out full license for the year 1907
the one thonsand dollars to go to
the public school fund. The motion
was adopted.
On the next day, however, it was
found that there was legal imped'
iment to the proposition, and the
police jury reseined the resolution.
So Capt. Haas has to pay the full
license for the year Of 1902, with
costs and penalties.
Mr.J. o. Cachere, the road over

under the repealed ordinance, viii

The CarnfyaI.

The floats for the grand Carnival
are progressing nicely, and the Ex-
ecutiye Committee are more than
pleased at the work of the Deutch-
mann Bros, the constructors. The
rapidity in which they do the work
is marvel TO those who visit the
barn In which the floats are being
constructed These young men
have been in the business since
childhood-their father is one Of the
oldest and most successful float con-
tractor in the city OF New Orleans.
There was some trouble ut the
construction barn buring the heavy
rains OF last week, and the floats
were at one tins threatened with
considerable damage by leaking of
the roof. Mr.. Ike Roos, however,
came to the rescue in his usual
generous spirit, and permitted the
COMMITTEES to use the tarpaulins OF
the Compress Company, and now
the "goose hangs high and the
weather man can't hurt MS ii he
turns loose all the water in his
standpipe. Thanks, Ike-you are a
right good boy.

AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY,
So Thinks At Least One Travelling
 Man.

I would as soon think of starting out with out my mileage books and grip as to start out on a trip without a box of Stu I arts Dyspepsia Tablets in my valise, said travelling man who represents a St. Louis hardware house. Why? Because have to put up at all kinds of hotels and boa rding houses. I have to eat good, bad and indifferent food at all hours of the day and night and I don't believe any IT ans stomach will stand that sort of thing without protest. anyway l know mine won't. It has to have something to break the fall and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the crutch I fall back on.
 My friends often josh" me about it, tell me I'm an easy mark for patent medi- cine fakers, that advertised medicines are humbugs, etc, but I notice that they are nearly always complaining of their aches and pains and poor digestion, while l can stand most any old kind of fare and feel good and ready for my work when it needs me, and l believe l owe my good digestion and sound health to the daily, regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, year in and year out, and all the josh ing in the world will never convince me to the contrary.
 l used to have heartburn about three times a day and a headache about three or four times a week and after standing for this for four or five years began to look around for a crutch and found it when my doctor told me the best invest ment ] could make would be fifty cent
 box of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, and l
 have invested about fifty cents month for them ever since and when l stop to
 think that that is what I spend every day
 for cigars. feel like shaking hands with | myself for l can keep my stomach and digestion in first class order for fifty cents

of the States of Texas. Louisiana and of Mobile met in January at Galveston and adopted a set of rigorous quarantine reg ulations to be enforced in 1905. These reg ulations require the disinfection of all vessels on leaving a Cuban port and second disfnfection upon reaching a port in the United States. The disinfection applies to vessels. baggage and passen- gers. It is these regulations that pr. Lindsey desires modified.
 We ask" said Dr. Lindsey last night, " for an open quarantine. We ask that as long as Havana is not an infected port that the same quarantine regulations be required by the Southern ports as are required by the Marine hospital service. These regulations require a vessel sailing from any foreign port to the United States to have bill of health This bill of health is all that is required from the vessels provided they arrive in good sanitary condition.
 Havana has not had a case of yellow fever in two years. We protest against being treated as an infected port when we have had DO yellow fever in the past two years. An open quarantine is grant ed Porto Rico. We only ask that Cuba. which Is equally free of yellow fever, shall be placed upon the same footing a s Porto Rico. The drastio-quarantino reg ulations have driven the tide of freight the United States quarantine regulations are in force. It is our endeavor to have this passenger traffic turned into It's prop CT channel, through the Southern ports '"
