JUDGES DECLARE BETS OFF.
plot 10 Defeat He'll in Pacing Race Rem
dcred PrOntIesS.

BALTIMORE. Md, Oct. 27.-What promised
TO be a big coup to-day Mt the last days meet
ing at the Gentlemen's Driving Park was
spoiled by the vigilance of the judges. II was
evident that several drivers had planned
a scheme to defeat the mare Bell in the 2:2O
class pacing event. Bel had won two heats
yesterday.
To- a in the third and fourth heats the
Judges became aware of the fact that the mare
was not being driven to win. They took
Driver Kelly out of the sulky and replaced
him with Vail. Vail went out TO win, and in all
probability would have done so had nc OF
been driven all oyer the track by several OF
the other drivers. In consequence the judges
declared all bets on on the heat and race.
Driver B.. A. Wilson of Ruby Fry and John
son OF Hunter were the chief offenders and
were each fined SIS. Driver Kelly was also
ined a like amount. Summary:
IN class, pacing: purse $500.

some few reports of damaged or

amount reported to be injured
seems to be extremely limited
and in general the crop may be
pronounced encouraging.

INCREASED ASSESSMENTS.

INCREASED ASSESSMENTS.
Increased assessments is a
subject which at present is com
ing in for a large share of public
attention, owing to the fact that
the assessors have raised the
assessments throughout the
State. The raise was made
through the influence of the adj
ministration in an effort to place
the States finances in better
shape and also to correct the
glazing inequalities existing in
the different parishes.
Increased taxes are among the
least acceptable things with the
average man, and as a result of
the higher valuations placed
upon property both Gov. Blanch-
ard and the assessors have been
sharply criticised. To place
himself fairly before the people
and give a reason for his atti-
tude towards increased assess
ments Gov. Blanchard has
made public a statement of his
purposes, which we publish in
al other column, and to which we
invite the attention of ourreaders.
TO GUARD AGAINST MOSQUE
TOES.
Owing to the fact that we have
had a very mild winter con-
siderable apprehension as to a
recrudescence of yellow fever is
felt all over the State and vigor-
Gus measures are being taken to
guard against the stegomyia
mosquito by protecting with
screens all cisterns and other
water SO as to deprive the mos
quito of a breeding place. In
line with this effort the city
council has passed a screening
ordinance and every citizen
should not only promptly, but
cheerfully comply with it's pro-
visions. 1t absolutely cuts no
figure whether you believe in
the mosquito theory or not.
Weighty medical opinion declares
the mosquito the vehicle of
transmission and we should
therefore lay aside our beliefs
and give the matter a trial in so
far as fighting mosquitoes, at
any rate.
Besides our delightful ex-
perience last year without mos
quitOes. should make US eager to
destroy the pests and be saved
the unmitigated annoyance of
their buzzing, singing presence.
From now until next Novem-
Der it should be the especial
boast of each and every house
holder, You can't find a mos
nnito on nv Mace"

Lafayette, the Clarion is glad
to note, is still going forward.
An election will soon be held in
that town to authorize a hundred
thousand dollar bond issue in aid
of a new school house, the re-
demption Of old bonds and the
erection of a city hall. It is
gratifying to see a people that
don't set on their Natural Ad-
vantages" watching for the pro-
cessiOn to pass at their very
door and take them in. These
towns will succeed; they will be-
come cities. Zone to-day is
worth two tO-morrows." The
time to act is when this great
tide of immigration and progress
is knocking at our door.-St.

ONLY ONE THING TO DO.


other way than through the me.
dunn of the stegomyia fasciata
mosquito, the problem of proven
ton and protection is narrowed
down to the simple matter of rid
ding the country of this variety
of the mosquito, commonly
known as the house Or cistern
mosquito.
, The knowledge OF this now
we'll established fact, and it's ac-
ceptance, will greatly simplify
the regulation of travel, traffic
and social intercourse in refer
ence to the presence or E liStence
of yellow fever. The whole ques-
ton of protection rests upon
quarantining the mosquito and
not the patient. The disease is
positively not contagious-that is
it cannot be directly transmitted
from one person to another, as
was formerly believed in the alb
sence of any proof to the con.
trary. And this being true it is
just as certain as that night fol-
lows day, if the screen or mos
quito ordinance recently adopted
by, the City Council is strictly
enforced, Lafayette will enjoy
absolute immunity from yellow
fever, because if a case should
be brought in accidentally from
an infected locality, it will be i'm
possible for the disease to spread
where no mosquitoes are pres.
ent, of the stegomyia fasciata
variety.
The only reasonable thing to
do them. is to calmly, intelli-
gently and perseveringly apply
ourselves to the removing from
our midst the only real source of
danger in this direction the
mosquito. Our greatest safety
against yellow fever, in the face
of a probable recrudescence of
the disease in some parts of the
State, is in taking all the precau-
tionary measures now, and this
can only be done by an enforce
ment of the screen or mosquito
ordinance without fear or favor,
and this is a work of such grave
Importance that it should be
placed in the hands of
some intelligent and reliable
person under the immediate
supervision of the City Board of
Health, and the one entrusted
with this all important work
should be required to give his
close and undivided personal at
tention to the subject from now
until December first. Employ
the right man and pay him for
his services. A parsimonious
policy in this direction might
prove very expensive in the end,
and we must not take any
chances in this matter when we
know that it would be only
through our own criminal negli-
gence or indifference that yellow
fever could possibly get q foot
hold in our midst.
CaTencro and Broussard
should do like Lafayette in this
regard, and if the Police Jury
will carry out the recommends
tions Of DR.. DeLaureal, the
parish health officer, with
reference to the un-incorporated
towns and in the parish itself, as
tar as practical, we may rest
assured that we will escape from
the dangers and inconvenience,
and great financial losses of last
summer.
Let Us then bend all our ener-
