DR.. AswELL,s ACCOUNTS ALL RIGHT.

DR.. ASWELL'S ACCOUNTS ALL RIGHT.
Travelling State Auditor Smiths belated
report of his investigation of the affairs
of the office of state superintendent of
public education during the administra-
ton of DR.. j. B. Aswell was given to the
press on the 9th instant, and appeared in
the New Orleans dailies of the 7th.
There was found to be no discrepancy
between the official records of the public
moneys paid to Superintendent Aswell
and the authenticated accounts of his dis
bufsements, and no charge of any short
age or misapplication of such moneys is
contained in the auditors report. The
only criticisms in the document are that
the former superintendent kept no books,
that he mixed his personal and official
bank accounts, and that vouchers were
not found for many of the items in his
expense accounts.
DR.. AsWeH has hade specific and can
did reply to these criticisms, averring that
the record of his expenses was kept in
pocket notebooks, from which the quarterly
sworn statements filed with the auditor of
public accounts were compiled; that there
was no attempt made to procure vouchers
for such expenditures as postage, tele-
graph or telephone messages, ianitor's
fees, etc, and that in no instance was a
DerS0nal cheek drawn nv hin, ltnIaoe h..
had personal funds il bank to cover the
draft.
Dr.. AsWell's statement, accompanied by
a full list of the items comprised in his ex-
pense accounts for the six years he occu-
pied the position of state superintendent. |
will undoubtedly be accepted by the peo-
pie OF the state as all-suficient and con-
elusive evidence of his vindication from +
any just suspicion of either carelessness

Napoleonville, was shot and killed be-
tween and 8 o'clock Friday night, Oct.
IA, by Chas. w. Triche, the young son of
Deputy Sheriff Chas. L. Triehe of NaDo-
leonville. Reports of the unfortunate
affair are to the effect that MIR. Landry
and Mr. Triche, senior, between whom bad
blood has existed for some time past, en-
countered each other on the sidewalk near
the Office of Klotz & Dugas and became
involved in fight, during the course Of
which a revolver which had been drawn
by one OF the combatants was discharged
Chas. w. Triche, who was sitting on the
steps of the Bank of Assumption building
nearby with a couple of friends, hearing
the pistol shot. rushed to the scene, and,
seeing his father scuffiing with Mr.. Lam
dry, drew revolver and fired one shot at
the latter. The bullet entered under the
right arm, grazing the heart, and Mr.,
Landry fell unconscious to the ground.
He was Immediately conveyed to his
home, where he died about fifteen min
utes later. Young Triche was lodged in
jail, but was released from custody Satur-
day afternoon on bond of $4,000. the
charge against him being manslaughter
Mr.. Landry was forty-seven years of
age, and is survived by his wife and three
small children, and three brothers, Messrs.
Abel, "Buck" and Mack Landry. His re-
mains were inferred in the Catholic ceme-
terry at Plattenville at o'clock Saturday
in the presence of a large CON
course of sorroWing relatives and friends.

How Old PEOPLE
May Prolorlg
Their Lives

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
Watery, appetite ftful, and diees-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open TO disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MA, Rheumatism, etc.
VINoL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
HERE IS THE PROOF
A case is recorded in Albany. n. v oe
woman who felt she was hreaIsino-
down by age and was doomed to fI,s
weak and feeble condition of old people.
She had no strength and the sIisrtfest ay..
efflon tired her, but VINOL made her
well and strong, and she states that she
Ieeis ten years younger than she did he
fore taking YINOL.
We ask every aged person in
this neighborhood to try a bottle
of VINOL with the understanding
that we will return their money if #
does not prove beneficial.
