SHORT ITEnS.
Little Pickups That help to Tell
the News of the Week.

Last week the Evangeline Oil
Company moved its Offices to the
Evangeline oil field. Manager
Straughan and his assistants
while here made many friends
who regret to see them leave.
Judge Pugh held court two
days last week. He left Satur-
day for his home in Crowley and
will return on April 9 to hold a
regular civil term.
G. w. Breeding has opened "a
skating rink in the Sales build
ing ON Vermillon street and the
sport has caught on with a
vim. 1t is now the proper thing
to take roll on the rolling skate,
and nightly the young folks and
a few little older assemble at the
rink and have a fine old time.
The Carencro road is being
put in prime condition under the
direction of the Citizens Road
building Association. Mr.. 0. H.
Breaux is doing the work.
The Bank of Lafayette building
and Schmulen's s store are rapid
ly nearing completion, and are
handsome additions to the busi-
ness structures of the town.
Moss & Co. have not moved
their drygoods department into
their new store owing to the
non arrival of the fixtures, which,
however, are now expected every
day. AS soon as possible the
move will be made, when the
frame building will be moved and
the two-story building for the
Moss Pharmacy begun.
Notwithstanding the consider
able amount of rainfall we have
had, the streets of Lafayette are
in good condition. for which the
street committee deserves credit.
People are complying with the
screening ordinance generally
and Lafayette is pretty well as
sured of being free of the Stego-
myia this summer and also other
varieties, much to the pleasure
and satisfaction of everybody.
While we are all busy screen
ing cisterns in an effort to fix
the stegomyia, the town should
"go after" the ponds and stag
nant water, and one very obnox-
ious pond can be found in the
rear of Mr.. Felix VOORHEES, place,
which would be a good pond to
begin on forthwith.

INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE.
Inspection of Cadets.-PreparatiOns
for Field Day-Gymnastic Enter
tainment Friday Night.

Yesterday Col. J. w. Powell U. S.
A., and Quartermaster General F. f.
Myles spent the morning at the In
stitute inspecting the cadets, who
made a most creditable showing in
drilling with their guns, considering
the very short time they have hal
them.
Active preparations are going for
ward for the athletic meet which will
take place April /. The boys are all
practicing hard and the school that
takes the BiOssat cup away from the
S. w. L. ]. l., will have to do some
real tall hustling. They will certainly
get run" for it.
Owing to the appearance of an at
traction at the Jefferson on Saturday
night, it has been decided to have the
girls gymnastic entertainment on
next Friday night. A very interesting
program has been prepared and just
how entertaining it will be you will
have to go and see. The admission
price is twenty-five cents, at which
price the fine entertainment they will
give is tremendous bargain.

BUILDING AND LOAN.
Committees Appointed for Recep-
tiOn of State League
Approved. New Secre-
tary Elected.

A regular meeting of the Board
of Directors of the Lafayette
Building and Loan Association
was held last Wednesday evening.
Loans to Colomb Bros. w. E.
MoutOn, L. Arceneaux and q.
Duhon were favorably reported
on.
For the reception and enter
tainment of the State League of
Building Associations, which
meets here April % and q, the
Board appointed as a committee
on arrangements, Fernand
Mouton, Chairman: Chas. De-
baillon, JOS. A. Lacoste, Galbert
Comeaux, A. J. Leblanc, JOS. P.
Colomb and DR.. J. A. Martin.
An address of welcome will be
delivered by Mayor G. 0.
Mouton on the part of the town
and one by Chas. D. Caffery for
the Association.
The election of a secretary was
taken up. Applications from
T. M. Biossat Jr. and J. F.
Jeanmard were read, and Mr..
Biossat was elected by a vote of
four to three, and his cOmpensa-
ton is to be three per cent of the
gross receipts.
Mr.. Biossat is the son of Mr..
T. M. Biossat, manager of the
Peoples Cotton Oil Co. He is a
graduate of the Industrial Insti-
tute and has just recently COM
pleted a business course at
Soule's Business College in New
Orleans. AS a preparation for
efficient work he left Monday for
New Iberia to spend several
weeks studying the methods EN-
ployed in the successful building
and loan association of that place.
He is a young man of ability and
energy and his friends feel conf
dent that he will prove by excel
lent service that his selection to
such a responsible position was
no mistake. He succeeds Mr.. 3.
J. Pellerin who has rendered fine
service, but who found it neces-
sary to resign because the con-
tinued growth of the association
was making larger demands
upon his time than he could afford
to give without serious neglect of
his own large business.
The association has been of
invaluable service in the past in
assisting in the upbuilding of
Lafayette by enabling many to
build comfortable homes, who
otherwise could not, and it's
present substantial condition
warrants the belief in it's still
greater usefulness in the future.

uao1y rpon st. wsapasa Bsn ri tSe has p5ntsd
entering into It's composition. This fact
alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines II, a class all By Themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed OF, and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities
The further fact that neither DIR.

eFayorite Prescription for weak, over

contains any alcohol, also entities them
to q place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DIR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, Of proper
strength, Is better solvent and preserv-
atlve OF the medicinal principles resid-
Ing In our indigenous, or native, medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that 1t possesses valua BILE medicinal
properties OF its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
Neither of the above medicines con-
talns alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from a
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary. patent. or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DIR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from lead ing medical writers of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.
