 Mir. H. A. Hammells, president of the board of directors of the Buckeye Irrigation Co. called attention to an item printed in The Republican of Sept. 7th, which states regarding wa ter charges for the ensuing year. '-The price was fixed at s per inch for the year or s2.5O per inch for each six months period beginning Oct. 1st and April 1st." The above is a wrong statement of the matter. The board

From, Valley Neigbborhoods

fixed the price for six months only which is S2.5O Der inch. The people have operated the canal a little less than six months, and are not quite from under the ban of eXtravagant private company methods. so the next six months water will cost S2.50 per inch, but it is expected that for the succeeding six months the price can be materially reduced.
 The item as above quoted was con- sidered by MT. Hammells as d reflec- ton on the business ability of the board of directors, as Buckeye has al ways had with good management a reputation for an abundance of irri- gation water at small cost. The par tY sending in the item must have made a guess and if so, did very well, for he was just half right

Perhaps one reason there wasn't so much purposeless spooning in the days of long ago was that coal oil in those days cost one dollar a gallon. Does this go in the account for or against yohn D. Rockefeller?

to-wit: The district judge, before
whom the case was tried, refused
positively to join in the recon-
mendation.
1.-TWO members of the board hav.
ing recommended communication, 1
directed the sheriff to suspend the
execution until be heard further
from me. l wanted time to con-
slider the case. l desired to see
the judge and district attorney.
They were at the trial, saw the
witnesses, observed their manner
of testifying and heard the testi-
mony.
1T was not until about q month
ago that it became convenient for
me to see those officials. When l
did see them l found them firm in
the conviction of the guilt of the
accused. They had resisted much
pressure brought to bear to secure
their recommendation of the ap-
plication for Communication.
II have given long and earnest
consideration of this application,
to the papers, petitions, letters
aud kilograms, very many in num-
Der, that have been sent up to me.
Gould there have been lodged
in my mind doubt, even. that.
after ell, another than the husband
may have committed the crime,
(for the evidence was circumstan-
tisl). I would grant the commute
ton. But that doubt is absent.
The man is guilty. I so believe
to the point of conviction.
IF this husband murdered his
wife he richly deserves hanging.
If he did not murder her, be should
not have been convicted at all.
THE jury had no doubt of his
guilt. The members of the jury
have resisted, all save one, the ef-
fort to get them to join the recon-
mendatiOn for Communication. The
judge and the district attorney
have no doubt of bis guilt.
II realize the greatness of the
responsibility resting upon me.
Still, l have been unable to reach
any other conclusion than
that the application for commuta-
ton must he denied and the law
permitted to take it's due aud or
derby course"

Pretty Church Wedding.

The Catholic Church was band
somely decorated Tuesday MORN
ing in honor of the wedding which
took place at half past eight
O'Clock. The contracting parties
were Miss Carmen Soulier and
Mr.. st. Martin Fournet, both of
of them from prominent families
of this town, and the wedding was
performed by Rev. Father Savy,
and the ceremony was a beautiful
one.
When Miss Olivier at the pipe
organ commenced the music the
vast edifice was we'll filled with
friends of the young couple.
The bride entered the church
leaning upon the arm of her ia
ther, preceded by her maid OF hon.
or, Miss Carmen Fleming aud fol-
lowed by her brides msids and
RroOmsmen in the following order:
Mr.. A. l.. Durand and Miss Alice
VOORHEES,, Mr.. A. j. Cormier and
Miss Goldie Gsrdemal, Mr.. Jas. j.
Martin and Miss Amelie Gauthier.
The groom assisted by his best
man, Mr.. F. F. Fournet met the
bride at the foot of the main alter.
The bride was gowned in an
elegant dress of grandma swiss
with veil attached to her hair by
a cluster of orange flowers, which
fell backward in graceful folds
made her a picture of sweetness
and loveliness.
The brides maids were attired
in beautiful dresses of white or
candle, and the whole made this
wedding one of the most beauti-
full ever seen in this grand old
church.
When the bridal party was leav-
ing the church Mrs. Paul Flem-
ing sang a beautiful Ave Maria,
and on this occasion her sweet
voice was even sweeter than usual
and added more charm to the bril-
liant ceremony.
The ushers. Messrs Robert Gui-
rard and Marcel dc Many, stten-
ded to the large number of guests
in most pleasing manner.
At the conclusion of the cere-
mony the bridal party and invi-
ted guests went to the home of
the brides parents, where recep-
ton was given.
The presents received by the
newly married couple were nu-
mesous and handsome as we'll az
valuable.
The bride is a daughter of Mr..
T.. E. Soulier. She is q young la
dy of many graces of mind and
person, who is capable of filling
the home she will adorn with hap
piness and will prove to be truly
helpmate and companion by the
husband she has chosen to honor
with her hand.

young business men, who will make
his mark az one of the substantial
citizens of this town.

Elus LeBlanc's Case.

Wednesday of last. week when
Governor Blanchard fixed the date
of the execution of Elus Leblanc
for Friday, July IL, 1907, which
he had under consideration for
several months, gave out the fol-
lowing statement in regard to the
case:
"Elus Leblanc was indicted in
the parish of st. Martin for the
murder of his wife. The murder
occurred in their home about z
o'clock p. m, on Jan. 20, 1905.
The instrument of the murder was
a table knife. The woman was in
q delicate condition at the time.
The district Judge says everything
indicated terrible struggle. Her
throat was cut from ear to ear;
her face and neck cut in several
places, aud her fingers on both
hands cut inside to the bone, show
ing that the blade of the knife was
pulled through her hands, she
evidently having caught the knife
in the effort to protect herself.
There was blood all over the room
she occupied, on the bed, the floor
the gallery aud gallery posts. Her
screams were heard seven arpents
distant by a party closed in his
house. The husband occupied the
adjoining room, separated from
that of the wife by a thin plank
wall. the communicating door open
and his bed situated only about 8
or 10 feet from that of bis wife.
Yet he claimed to have heard
nothing, knew nothing and could
say nothing of the murder.
His trial occurred more than
ten months after the deed of MUIR
der. He was defended by able and
jealous counsel, and the jury that
sat on his case is said by the dis
trict judge and district attorney to
have been composed of some of
the best citizens of the parish-sll
Of them high-minded, honest, in
telligent business men.
within fifteen minutes after
the case was given to the jury they
returned a verdict finding the man
guilty as charged.
"The trial Judge overruled a
motion for new trial as we'll as
one in arrest of judgment, and on
appeal the Supreme Court affirm
ed the verdict and sentence.
"The verdict carried with it the
death penalty. His counsel made
application to the Board of Par
dons for Communication of sentence
to life imprisonment. The board,
at its first meeting, declined unan.
imously to recommend to me com.
mutation of sentence. I then is-
sued the death warrant.
"But counsel applied again to
the Board of Pardons, and at q
second sitting, held few days be-
fore the day fixed for the execu-
ton, majority of the board join
ed in a recommendation that the
sentence be commuted to life i'm
prisonment.
