worth forty or fifty dollars he is
a freebooter. Is it right and
just that he should be called on
to subscribe at least five dollars
a year to the fire department
when he receives no protection
from them whatever?
Second question: If a man
owns a small house and lot worth
two or three hundred dollars. is
it right that he should be called
on to pay five dollars a year to
the fire department?
He should be willing to pay
his proportionate part, two or
three dollars a year.
Third question: The resolu-
ton only asks the male free
holders to subscribe to the sup
port of the fire department when
it is well known that q large
proportion of the real estate in
this city is owned by females,
who receive the same protection
from the fire department as the
males do. Why shouldn't all the
household property in the city
pay its proportion alike? It all
receives the same protection.
l again say l think that the
resolution is a move in the right
direction and with a few amend
ments it will meet with a general
response.
l would suggest that the CON-
mittee on resolutions amend the
original resolution by adopting
an equitable sliding scale. That
every real estate or property
owner in the city male or female,
company or corporation be called
on to subscribe from two to five,
ten or fifteen dollars q year
according to circumstances and
the proportionate value of their
property towards the support of
the fire department.
I think that such an amended
resolution would raise a much
revenue 10 the fire de-
partment than the original
resolution.

Communication.

To the Editor of the Advertiser.
Will you kindly allow me space
in your valuable paper to ask g
few questions, that very much
interest every real estate and
property owner in the city Of
Lafayette: l see in your issue
of March 90 that the annual
meeting of the fire department
was held at the court house on
the Goth of March and after the
regular routine of appointing
officers and committees for the
ensuing year, the committee on
resolutions submitted the follow.
ing resolution which was unan.
imously adopted:
Resolved, by the Fire Department
OF the city of Lafayette, Louisiana,
that for the purpose of aiding. equip
ping and maintaining the said Fire
Department, that q call be made on
every male citizen within the corporate
limits OF the city of Lafayette, La,
owning real estate, and also every
nonresident and corporation also
owning real estate within said cor
pOrative limits, and who are not men,
bers of said fire department, to SUBJ
scribe an annual fee of not less than
five dollars, and that said amount
when paid to be turned W to the
Treasurer of the department, and to
be used in aiding, e%quipping and
maintaining the said Fire Department
for the purpose of fighting fires.
Be it further resolved, that said
resolution be printed in the city
papers, The Lafayette Advertiser and
The Gazette for q space of sixty days.
Be it also further resolved. that
. copy of said resolution b mailed to
each male citizen of the city OF Lafa-
yette who Ire not members of the Fire
Department, and also to all non-resi-
dents and corporations owning real es-
tate within the city of Lafayette,
Louisiana.
The above resolution is q move
in the right direction, but I
think that it requires q little
alteration or should be more
fully described to be properly
understood.
First question: According to
the resolution it is proposed to
make a call for q subscription of
not less than five dollars from
every male freebooter within
the corporate limits of the city.
If q man owns q vacant lot

Shrew1 Detective Work.
Deputy Sheriff Robt. 'Brous-
sard has q neat piece of detective
work to his credit in the capture
of Cadet Lewis, colored, who
plead guilty and wassentenced to

A robbery of two plows, q cul-
tivator and some harness was
reported to the sheriff's Office as
having been committed Thurs

Deputy Robt. Broussard went
down at once to investigate. No
information as to the identity Of
the thief could be gotten; but on
carefully inspecting the ground
where the stolen articles had
been, he noticed cuts in the
ground giving evidence that
they had been dragged. He fol.
lowed thecuts which led over pillow.
edland to q place in a near by field
where the trampled ground and
wagon tracks showed that the
Implements had been loaded ON q
wagon. He measured the wagon
track and then followed it finally
reaching Br0ussard's crossing.
Here he found q negro, who, on
being questioned, told of having
seen the wagon containing the
missing articles and gave the
name Of the driver and his place
Of residence as ON the plantation
Of MI. Joe BrOussard in the
second ward. He fastened on
there, found his negro and the
stolen goods in his possession.
was Cadet Lewis, a negro en-
ployed last year by Mr.. VIM.
Broussard. He brought him to
town and lodged him in Jail.
Next morning the. negro ex-
pressed his desire to plead
guilty, so he was taken into court
and sentenced to five years in the
penitentiary.
Deputy Br0ussard is to be
c~omplimented upon his shrewd
and rapid work.

and garden products SOL per cent,

II have recommended DR.. Williams
Pink Pills to many people," said Mrs.

ject for our own experience has taughtu US
how well they deserve praise.
cit vas just about ten years ago that
I first read about DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, and bought my first box. I was at
that time all run down, weak, nervous
and without ambition. I had been doc
toring all summer for malaria and
stomach trouble. Everybody thought l
was going into consumption, as my
mother had died of that disease.
Thanks to DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
I am now alive and hearty. I began to
improve as soon as I began to take them,
and when I had taken three boxes I wasa
well woman. Everyone wonders how I
keep SO we'll and am able to care for my

DIR. Williams Pink Pills explain it.
my Oldest girls health began to fail
when she was about fourteen. She was
nervous, complained of sharp pains in
her head, would get deathly sick and
have to leave the school room to get fresh
air to revive her. / gave some pills to her.
She took only a few boxes, but they cured
her troubles, and caused her to develop
into a perfect picture of health. Then my
husband took them for rheumatism and
found that they would cure that too. So
you see we have all got great good from
using them, and that is why w ecom
mend them to others"
Mrs. Minnie B. Gossett lives at
Uhrichsville, Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, aud
is we'll known, as she has resided in the
same neighborhood for more than thir.
teen years. Her story shows that a
medicine which makes the blood sound
aud the nerves strong, overcomes q vari-
city Of diseases and should be found in
every household. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
are sold by all druggists everywhere.
They have cured anaemia, and all forms
Of weakness, also the most stubborn
cases Of dyspepsia and rheumatism.
They are indispensable for growing girls.

MAN ACCUSED OF TAMPERING
WITH WITNESSES ASKS IN.
MEDIATE TRIAL.
TWO.FOLD OBJECT IN MOVE
ONE OF WHICH is TO FORCE THE
GOVERNMENT TO SHOW
ITS HAND.

Chicago, April 2.-Has the federal
acute a stage as to require the pres
ence in Chicago of Assistant Attorney
General Day? That a crisis in the in
| vestigation has been reached is now
the belief.
Assistant Attorney General Day, it
was reported last night, is now on his
way to Chicago to confer with Assis-
tant Attorney General Pagin. Mr.. Day
left Washington Wednesday night and
instructed his clerk not to let it be
known where he was going. 1t also is
known that he was in Indiana Thurs
day.
Ccnnors Demands Trial.
Simultaneous with the report that
! Mr.. Day was on his way to Chicago,
came another report that Thomas J.
Connors OF Armour & Co. would de-
mand an immediate trial on the
charge of tampering with witnesses,
under which he was indicted Tuesday.
The claim is set up that Mr.. Connors,
on constitutional grounds, has a right
to demand a trial at once.
A two-fold object is declared to be
behind this move. While 1t would af-
ford Mr.. Connors an early opportunity
to e%xonerat- himself. it would like
wise force the government to show its
hand and would in a measure reveal
some Of the grand jury's information.
Federal officials declare they have
no fears of the secrets of the grand
| jury room being revealed, even though
the Connors case is brought to IN i'm
mediate trial.
