encouraged to enter matrimony by free
grants of land, payment OF all marriage
fees and an annuity Of so rubles a year
for every child born. He succeeded in
removing from his estate, by rather harsh
means, all deformed and sickly persons,
and attracted handsome giants from all
parts of the province by granting them
valuable privileges. Those who refused
to marry the partners he selected were
unceremoniousy deported.
Since the institution Of this human

taken place and over 100 children have
been born, nearly all OF them being i'm

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MUNICI-
PAL TICKET and PLATFORM.
To THE VOTERS OF THE Town
OF LAFAYETTE, LA.

The undersigned hereby an
nOunce themselves as candidates
for election in the Democratic
primary soon to be called by the
Executive Committee. to ill the
various Offices of the town for
the ensuing term. In taking
this step, we announce the fol
lowing as our platform:
We believe that public servants
should administer their func-
tions according to the law and
will of the people as expressed
at the ballot box.
We believe that protection
against fire is the greatest need
in our midst; that lights are sec
Ondary, and that this fact should
be recognized in expending pub
lie money.
We believe, also, that another
urgent public need is the i'm
prOvement in the quality Of the
water afforded by our plant. We
are convinced that an arteSian
well ought to have been put in
so that good and pure water
could be freely had for drinking
and other household uses. The
preservation of the good health
of the town is another reason
why this should be done.
We strongly believe in the
economical and businesslike eX-
penditure of public funds, and
in public improvements general
ly, for which the revenues of our
town are now amply sufficient
without increasing the assess
ment or rate of taxation, if pro
perly administered.
We pledge ourselves. if elected
to put these views in force ano
to use our best efforts to keel
Lafayette in line with the pro
gressive towns around US.
