PREPARING FOR THE FALL.

At four O'Clock this at
ternoon the bids for the two
new school houses Will be
opened in the presence OF the
Architect, Mr.. +. w. Philips
and the building committee OF
the Board of Education. No
one can tell yet how many bid
ders will appear nor whether
the prices will come within the
limit.
SO far no repairs have been
made to the old buildings. The
Board of Education has been
waiting!.to see how much money
it will have tor this purpose
out of the fund provided by
the sale of the bonds or securl-
ties after the two new buildings
are arranged for. 1t will not
be necessary to repair the
school at the West End and 1t
has been decided not to repair
the Madison st. School for II
the Central Railroad Is to &C
cupy that street the school there
will have to be removed.
The High school roof needs
repairs and the Julia St. school
needs various kinds of repairs
and it is expected that there
will be money enough LETT out
of the fund to do all that Is re-
CURED at present.
The fall term will begin on
September II and it IS said the
schools as at present will not be
able to accommodate nearly all
of the children who may apply,
especially in the lower grades.
But the crowded condition OF
affairs will not exist after the
new schools are built. Then
there will be a chance for Il new
arrangement whereby the. little
ones will not have to walk so
far in their first years of school
ing.
Prof. Ellis has gone to Mon
roe to be gone till the latter
part of the week.

LAWN PARTY A SUCC ESS.

As expected there was large
attendance at the lawn party OF
the East End Concert Band on
the lawns of Mr.. Frank Della
houssaye Thursday and there
wasn't minute that was not
filled with enjoyment tor all
who attended. Mirth, music
and frivollty prevailed for hours
and next morning the members
of the band and their guests are
we'll pleased over the result.
The candy wheels, of which
we're two, attracted much
attention and were in charge of
Messrs. Paul Doerle and Frank
Bertrand and Misses Emma
Delahoussaye and Pauline
Schutzman. The fish pond was
in charge OF Mrs. Jules Bayard
and " ISIS Pauline Schutzman,
and the profits from both of
these affairs were considerable.
In the evening the dance pre-
vailed, and the contests were
most lively and enlivening. For
the unmarried the prizes were
won by Miss Bessie Roe and
Mr.. Paul Romero. In the mar
ried couples contest the winners
were Mrs. Frank Delahoussaye
and MIR. Willie Lasalle.
1t was not till a late hour that
the last merrymaker LETT the
handsome grounds we'll pleased
with the perfect evenings
amusement. The band is now
on its feet and in prosperous
condition, and may be expected
to appear IN public before long.
incidentally the young men
have decided to alter the name
of the organization in order
that it may not be confused with
that of the older band known
as the East Side Concert Band.
The name chosen is The East
End Symphony Band, and as
such it will become famous. Its
business meeting will come of
Tuesday evening when matters
of importance are to come up
for consideration.

The present spell of weather
is just what the rice growers
who are harvesting want. They
are working without INTERRUPT
ton and couple weeks more
OF the same kind will see them
with the grain in the bag and
out of the fields.
Still it is said that the cane is
suffering from the cold nights
and the drying wind. The
cane was behind in its growth
any way and the check it is re-
ceiving now will still further
stunt it.
To-day the Enterprise-Lead-
er received a fine sample OF
cane from the place of Mr.. A..
Lacour which is in charge of
MIR. !. c. Moore. There are
sixty arpents of it that will yield
large; returns unless the weather
stop as at present.
Those rice growers who are
shipping to New Orleans from
here now are realizing top
prices. 1t is said that the local
mills cannot afford to pay the
prices that is obtained in New
Orleans and the consequence IS
that great deal is being shipped
there in the rough. Later on
perhaps when the stock in the
Crescent City is UP to the de-
mand prices may be more favor
able tor the local mills and they
may obtain the amount they es-
timated at the beginning of the
season or about three quarters
of the entire yield of the Parish

WOMEN FOR SEWERS.

New Haven, Aug. gil ne
borough of Woodmonr, a fash
1onable summer colony near
here, held its annual borough
meeting Tuesday and the wo-
men ran it. A three mill tax t.
sanitation and the establishment
of a sewerage system were the
items supported by the women,
"Clean up the borough and
make a healthy place to live,
was their campaign cry. | he
opponents of the sanitation tax
favored cutting it in half, dis
pensing with the sewers and
buying a large piece of property
for park purposes.
The women argued strenu
ously for their cause. After a
hot debate order was restored
and the chad, bad, men" gave
the women their way. The
sewerage system will cost $780,
600, and the tax will be laid.

DOUBTS DIAGNOSIS.

There is current shrewd
suspicion that the New iberia
"yellow fever case is a false
alarm. The St. Landry Clarion
intiinates that the patient was
merely suffering from the effects
of getting hit in the head with a
brick. If this is true, the fever
diagnosis is almost as good as
the Alexandria case last year
where physician diagnosed
"yellow fever" az three in the
afternoon and the lady gave
birth to nine pound boy at
nine the next morning Il axe

While there are 30 more cases

While there are 30 more cases
of the fever nor any suspicious
that another case may aPfear,
vet the city is to be bottled w
till possibly "Wednesday OF next
week. This first and only pa
tent became i'll on the r4th IN

of the incubation OF the disease
from a given date IS IL days,
therefore we must stay shut IN
till those Il days are over.
Meantime the fumlgatlon IS
going on smoothly and rapidly
and it is possible that it vii be
over before the cork is taken
out of the bottle. Very posi-
bly, the section across the bayou
will be reached early next week
and it will not take long to do
that.
The patient, who is now sui
tering from septic poisoning
from the effects OF the fever, is
reported to be holding his own.
That is, he may get we'll and he
may not, but if he dies 1t will
not be the fever that causes

an examination of those who de-

teach in the schools of the Par

not possess the proper certificate.
AT the examination in July no
one appeared for the test.

Whether the tumigation and
the general cleaning up that is
going on in this city has had
any effect or not, the city just
now is in a better condition as
regards health than for long
time. All the physicians said to-
day that they had no new cases
of fever of any kind or serious
illness for the last two weeks.
1t has been a long time since
the city has been SO tree from
disease as at present. 1t is true
that there are some GONZALES
cent cases of fever here but
these are of malaria or OF ty-
phoid, and the fact that no new
cases have occurred for so long,
is regarded as most satisfactory.
Some time since the ENTER
IsE-LEADER called attention
to the natural healthtulness of
New iberia. With proper wa
ter and sewerage there is no rea-
son why this city should MOI be
the healthlest spot in the State.
When in period of two weeks
there is not a single case OF te-
yer of any kind in population
of 5000 and when in all the
cases that have occurred verv
small proportion have been Sc
we're enough to prove fatal, it is
a pretty good indication that the
city is naturally healthtul.
There have not been even
any cases of serious infant trou-
bles, and these are the first to
disturb community and indi-
cate the presence of sources OF
danger.
Physicians hold that there is
no reason why disease should
breed here if proper precautions
are observed. 1t the city were
generally kept as clean as it is
as present, and if as much atten-
zion were paid to sanitary mat
tiers at all times as is the case
now, the doctors would have to
60 out of business. Some OIL
them are doing little even as il
is, except attend to the conval-
escents. And the druggists
would have little sale for theiI
goods were it not for the gen.
eral cleaning now in progress.

a different appearance to the

citizens are having the weeds
cut from the outlying vacant

have the work continue till all
are cleared. Not only
will this good work pre-
