Manager Scharff Of the Elks
Theatre will throw open the doors
Of the theatre on next Sunday,
lSept. 25th, to the theatre going
public to witness the presentation
here of Wildfire," that comes
direct from the Crescent Theatre,
New Orleans. This attraction Is
said to be made up of first-class
artists and will be well received
as good opening for the, theat-
rical season here. Mr.. Scharff
promises to do his best in playing
only the best attractions, having
cancelled many that did not come

patrons Of his playhouse.
One. Of the most repulsive
sights to witness on our Streets
is the manner in which roaming
dogs are put to death by the Of
fioers. These officers, we dare

they fail to kill them outright,
simply wound them and allow
them to seek the first hiding place
within reach and suffer till their
lives are snuffed out, which gen.

On the public thoroughfares is en-
IItirely too dangerous to pedestrians
Ito be tolerated in New Iberia in
this enlightened age, even though
