The Galveston Tribute can see
no good reason for kicking up all
this row over the Meriwether-
Branch case. The United States
government sends young boys to
Annapolis and West Point to
teach them to be brave, fighting
men, Then, why not let them
settle their personal differences
in fair fist fight. Isn't that bet
ter than shooting out their diff.
ferences at every drop of the hat!
OF course, it is Iamentable fact
that a life was lost in this way
but it does appear that the very
fact that Branch stood up ano
fought Meriwether for twenty
two two minute rounds is evidence
sufficient to prove that it was 8
fair and square scrap and thai
only an accident caused the fata
ending.

prominent and highly esteemed
residents of St. Martinville, died
at his home here Wednesday

The u. S. Congress convened
in regular session last Monday,
being the fifty-ninth. j. e. Can
non, of Illinois, was reelected
Speaker of the House. John
Sharp Williams was again chosen
as Democratic leader. This ses-
sion promises to be q most inter-
esting one in many respects and
its proceedings will be watched
with keen interest by every Sec
ton of the United States, as we'll
as by the rest of the world.
The principal features of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress are the Government con-
troll of corporations, Federal
regulation of railroad rates and
insurance companies, prohibition
of contributions to political par
ties by corporations, revision of
the naturalization, copyright and
criminal laws, free trade for the
Philippines, Government levee
system and the Panama Canal.

Mr.. Adolphe Jacobs, the eff
cient manager of Sandoz Opera
House, who has so ably filled that
responsible position for the past
fifteen years, has found it neces-
sary to resign that position owing
to the fact that all his time will
be required to the proper man
agement of the Deitlein & Jacobs
wholesale business here, which
has attained such proportions as
to necessitate his relinquishing
the management of the Opera
House. Mr.. Jonas Roos, a young
man of fine business capacity and
with considerable experience in
theatrical matters, succeeds Mr..
Jacobs as manager, and will use
his best efforts to give satisfac-
tion to the public and the patrons
of the Sandoz Opera House.

The District Court.

The time of the District Court
has been taken up this week with
the trial of the State VS.. Chester
and Dougal Thompson, who are
charged with manslaughter as a
result of the killing by them of
DR.. q. I. Young, at Vile Plate
last October. Two days were
consumed in the selection of a
jury, only three jurors having
been chosen from the regular
venire, the remainder having
beer made up from talismen. It
is probable that the case will not
be concluded until late tonight,
the first witness for the defense
having been put on the stand
Friday morning.
The case is attracting consider
able attention by reason of the
fact that all parties connected
with the deplorable affair are
of high standing in their respec-
tive communities, and both the
prosecution and the defense are
presented by an array of lawyers.

The COURIER is indebted to MIR.
J. 6. Lee, Commissioner, for a
beautiful handbook of Louisiana
that has recently been issued BY
the Louisiana State Board of
Agriculture and immigration.
The book abounds with useful
information concerning the re-
sources of this State and contains
many handsome half tones of in
teresting scenes of various sec
tions. It will do much good in
advertising the numerous advan-
tages that Louisiana possesses,
and the magnificent field it affords
for the inducement of immigra-
ton.

Miss Emily Overton Moore.

A recent issue of the Staunton
(Va.) Dispatch contains the fol
lowing item which will no doubt
be read with interest by Miss
Moore's many friends in Opel
ousas, her native home:
Rarely, if ever, has concert
been more thoroughly enjoyed in
Staunton, than the one given at
the Y. M. G. A. auditorium last
night under the efficient director
ship of Miss Emily Overton
Moore. The hall was we'll filled
with music lovers and musical
people who could appreciate
classical selections so admirably
rendered.
Miss Moore has a wonderfully
sweet voice of rare cultivation,
and to hear her sing is indeed q
treat. She seldom appears in
public, being modest to degree
as to her accomplishments. Last
night she sang first, "Nixon," by
F. Paoli Tossi, and "Say Yes, y
by Guy d'Hardelot as opening
numbers, and won her audience
from the first notes. Her next
numbers were 'The Temple
Bells" by Lawrence Hope, from
the "Garden of Kama" and by
request "The Carnival" by j. L.
Molloy, which showed to the best
advantage the wide range of her
voice.
