ST. MARTINvILLE, La, SATURDAY, MAY a. 1904
School House Demolished.

Monday evening while the rain
and thunder made this town look
cad and gloomy, when our streets
and side walks were flooded. when
the fire of lightning was seen in
every direction. the wind was
blowing but gently over this town.
At the same time that the peo-
pie of st. Martinville we're discus
ing this unusual heavy rainfall
and the frequency Of the strokes
of the fearful lightning, a tornado
was sweeping over q small portion
of this parish. and leaving behind
it death and destruction.
The tornado swept over that
section Of Isidore Michel, and de-
molished the large two story
school house. recently built by
Isidore Michel and the colored
people Of that neighborhood, for
the private education Of their chill
dren. This building was as fine
as could be desired. it was large,
and the promoters of this enter
prise took q great deal of pride in
the enterprise.
The school was in charge Of
Prof. Adolph William, q school
teacher of long experience, and
the attendance at that school was
between fifty and sixty pupils. /.
When. the wind began to in
crease Professor William heard
the building cracking. and hurried
the children down, as the school
was held in the second story. just
as they reached the lower floor
the building collapsed. with all the
children and the Professor under
the mass of the wrecked building
one little girl was killed outright
two other children were very seri.
ousIy injured and about a dozen
received light wounds, all ths
others escaped unhurt, and theil
lives we're saved by q piano that
had Just been put in the schoo
house.
The piano had been received tn
same day, and fearing the thres
tening weather the piano was hur

placed in the building near th
door, and when the children wer'

CHANGE THE WARDS.

When our government was cha nged
from that of village to city Of the
second class, the corporation was
divided into two wards and provi-
sion made for two councilmen from
each. Probably the board of
trustees did not take into eonsidera
tion the question of population when
the division was made on Third
street, constituting all west of that
street one ward and all east of it as
the other ward. The division is I'M
Just and unfair from the fact that
three-fourths of the population Of
the city is east of the division line,
and many people believe that the
board did not create wards enough to
give every part Of the city proper rep
resentation. We are inclined to
the belief that there is good reason
in the position thus taken. With a
population of more than 5000, six
counoilmen is not too many and
there should be some action by the
present council for a redivision along
lines that will give each ward re-
presentation based on the number of
people it contains rather than on geo
graphical lines. This is the more
satisfactory way. Cut the city into
three wards, with two members of the
council from each and it will be
found that this action meets the APP
proval of the people. 1t is a matter
that should receive the attention OF
the council before the spring cleo
tion, which will be the first under
our new form of government. Al
that election for the first time tht
people will elect a mayor, city treas
urer, clerk and police judge, in add.
ton to the members of the council.

Now that the elections are over it
might not be out of place for the
people of eastern Washington and
northern Idaho to get their heads to-
gether and see if a new state is not
desirable and what methods should
be pursued to accomplish that end.
North Idaho pays almost one-half the
taxes Of the state and is the tail Of
the dog. It is Wagged to suit the
south, and ignored in many ways.
We pay 40 per cent of the taxes and
get 30 per cent of the appropriations.
The south would object to losing
this end of the state because it can
use US. Otherwise it cares but little
for our interests, because we have
none in common. Washington is in
a similar position, and a state COM
posed of eastern Washington and
northern Idaho would have mutual
interests. A new state with Spokane
as the capital, would be about right.
