SATURDAY, JAN. %, 1909.

Yesterday the State Board of
Education was called in session by
Gov. Sanders to take up the trou-
bled affairs of Ouchita, Iberia and
St. Martin. The people of the
State is awaiting the result of this
meeting with some interest. 1t
appears that there is no law that
gives the State Board authority
over the local Boards, being cleo
ted by the people they cannot be
removed by the Governor, the on
ly remedy, rs far as we can see to
remove them from Office is by pro-
ceedings of impeachment, and that
is a slow process. In st. Martin
parish there is no compromise pos
sible. 1t is evident that both
sides are determined t" hold on to
what they consider their right and
privilege.

AdOlphe Pineaud is dead. He babe
farewell to all things earthly Oh Satur-
day night, Jan. 18th. He was born at
st. Martinville in 1924, the natural child
of AlphOnse Pineaud and Armeide Wiltz.
Al. honse Pineaud, a native of the pro-
vince of Brittany, France, was dealer
in general merchandise at the time Of
the birth of his SOD. and it is said that
that part of St. Martinville lying Oh the
east side OF the Teche was named Pin
audvIle after him. In 1888 very dead

country and carried In its sweep the mo.
Their of the deceased and left him an
orphan at the tender age of nine years.
He was adopted by Jean BaDtiste Re-
mon, IA Frenchman. who WAS merchant
In Pineaudyille at the time. While
AdOlphe yet a boy RemOn secured for
him AL apprenticeship in the blacksmith
shop of Joseph and Eugene Durel, who
also were Frenchmen. and were run
ming shop on the site where is located
the store Of A. q. GOulas. AdOlphe ser
we'd his time and soon thereafter built
himself small shop on the west side Of
the Teche at the present corner of Bridge
and College streets and worked at his
trade at that stand uninterruptpdly un-
til his death. a period of sixty odd years.
The war came and the war went. carpet
Daggerism swept over the South and was
swept back again. yet every day AdOlphe
Pinaud wrought his iron and paid no
attention. He and few others respec-

and children too much 10 be influenced
by the delusive promises Of renegades
aud scalaways. The White Camelias,
the White League. and the Ku Klux
Khan would never have existed if all
such as he. Some ten or fifteen years
ago it was nOticeably evident that his
shop was bearing heavily the burden of
age and weather and 10 longer shelter
ed its owner against cold and rain, but
as it had aged with him and was inter
woven with the greater part Of life's ac-
tivities; as he seemed to feel that it was
made of something more than mere
lumber, the idea of seeing it torn down
seemed to hurt him and he would not
consent to having it replaced by new
one, though constantly and vehemently
urged to do 30 by his wife and daughter.
After good many years of exposure to
cold and dampness he finally reached
an age he could stand it no longer and
yielded reluctant consent. 1t was
only then that the old landmark was
replaced by the present one.
AdOlphe Pineaud was honest, polite,

tured rather lucidly by the writer OF
the article. Editor sturm There Is a
high estimate placed upon Murray IN
this magazine article and there are
some glaring Inconsistencies. In
one place he makes Murray the best

place he declares Oklahoma has al.

of a bunch of politicians who are

OF course Murray Is more than an
ordinary man But be Is type OF

and Sturms Magazine must not set

a man of some ability, but he Is a type
OF the sort of man that controlled
things in this country when It was

man not allied to one OF the tribes

Order in Ada Case is

Guthrie, Okla. Aug. 3i.-The cor

day signed an order In the case OF
Rose Tipton VS.. The Ada Ice and Fuel
company. This order reflects the ideas

in the regulation OF the furnishing of
ice through corporations.
The order recites that in the very ma.
ture of things. an ice company has a
monopoly of the ice business within
its own territory. The evidence in
this case showed that the Ada Ice
company sold ice In the business part
of the town at forty cents per hundred
delivered in quantities of ten pounds
and up where coupon books had been
purchased. In the residence district
they charged sixty cents per hundred
where coupon books had been pur.
chased, otherwise they sold It for
eighty cents per hundred. The price
at the pant was fifty cents per hun.

The somplaint alleges that there Is
an understanding among the ice fac

virtually amounts to a trust. The evi.
