Quarrel Caused BY fhe Removal Of YOung
Lady Teacher Led Up TO Trouble -sapt.
OrisgO BADLY Injured.

AS the result Of a fistic assault
made upon the person of Super
intendent Ortego, Of Evangeline,
by DR.. Robt. Derouen, Monday,
Vile Platte is very much wrought
up. The trouble resulted from
the removal Of one Of the young
lady teachers from the school.
It seems that Supt. Ortego
made the removal through in
structions from State Superin-
tendent Harris.
DR.. Derouin, who interested
himself, took a hand in the affair
and went to Supt. Ortego Mon
day morning demanding that the
young lady be re-instated. Mr..
Ortego told him that he had
nothing to do with the matter.
A quarrel followed which re-
suited in a hand to hand fight.
Mr.. Ortego was badly beaten up
and one Of his eyes was gouged
out by DR.. Derouin.
A bill of information against
DIR. Derouin for committing as
sault on Supt. Ortego was filed in
the courts Of Evangeline Monday.

RAINS OF PAST WEEK
GREATLY BENEFIT
CROPS.

The recent rains did a won
derful amount of good through
out the parish. It's the first
good rain we have had this year,
and was especially beneficial to
the corn and cane. Some of the
corn had not sprouted yet and I
don't believe we could have stood
much more dry weather. | ex-
pect to yield from my Bellevue
corn crop this year 40 bushels to
the acre. James @. Chachere.
Many expressions of this ma
ture come from farmers from all
parts of the parish. The drought
which lasted about two months
was broken during the past week
by heavy rainfalls, and growing
crops of all kinds were greatly
benefited. This rain, tits stated,
will be sufficient for at least fif-
teen days.

suffered loss during the recent
freeze are replanting and crops

came tor the purpose of parti-
cIpatlng in and witnessing the

During the afternoon several
attractions, such as the climb
ing Cf the creased pole" and
catching of the creased pig, !"
ETC., were arranged on the
grounds of the old Catholic
Church, which created much en-
joyment for some of the small
boys, and d great deal Of laughter
from the crowd.
That night Main street was
prettily Illuminated with Chinese
lanterns. hundreds Of them being
strung across the street from

of bird-men composed Of flyers
whose aerial performances have
given them National renoWn.
Men whose experimental stage
was passed at their own expense,
and whose experience and skill
now command fabulous remuner-
alton. It must be borne in mind
that neither an aviator nor an
aeroplane is eligible to insurance.
The former commands a salary
of $50, ,O00.00 per season and
expenses, the latter commands q
purchase price of $40, 10000 to
$50, 00O. 90. Either is liable at
any time to destruction without
any compensation whatever.
Thus It is that aviation is an ex-
pensive diversion and there is
small prospect that it can ever
be exploited as a periodically re-
curing institution unless the
elements Of risk to life and
costly equipment are greatly
diminished.
The National Aviators have
included Opelousas on its timer
.ary and viii give exhibitions
here on April | and 2. To the
many thousands who live within
easy reach Of Opelousas it
is suggested that this may be
the last opportunity they will
ever have to see such a congress
Of aerial experts in trials of
speed, altitude, endurance and
gravitations that it is well worth a
special effort to attend this great
event. Many strange attractions
accompany the National Avia-
tors. Curiosities of both, land
and air. The great hangar tent
with the aeroplanes of all nations.
Curious men and women from
the remote corners of the world.
Mechanical and scientific phe-
nomena, all are in conjunction
and followers Of these kings OF
the air and all will be brought
here on their special train OF
Pullman cars. It is an exposi-
ton, new in theme, daring in
character and signalizes the first
real amusement innovation of the
century.
The National Aviators, under
the management Of the w. /.
Swain Show Co., Inc, have been
engaged by the Knights of Co
Iunnbus to hold an aviation meet
here on April 1st and End, 1911.
Thousands Of people will see The
bird-men and visit the hangar
tent and other amusements thai
comprise all that is new and Gu.
rious on land and in the air.
Excursion rates will prevail or

'BIRD.MEN' Will EX.
HIBIT HERE ON
lST And End.
Entertainment Under the Aus.
pices of the Local Lodge
Knights of Columbus.

The sudden development of
aviation and the startling, sensa-
tional achievements recorded
from time to time in the progress
of the science have tuned the
civilized world up to such a ten
sion of mystified interest, mere
announcement that a sbird-man'
viii take fight at a given time
and place is sufficient to bring
together q congested concourse
of eager spectators, drawn from
which the point Of flights is rea-
sonably accessible. In fact, the
drawing power of practical aero
plane fights, and especially
where men of wide reputation
are plotting these frail crafts,
has proved beyond peradventure
of a doubt to be greater by far
than the public demonstration
Of any scientific discovery since
the fertile brain Of man first at
tempted to harness and use the
mysterious forces given to US by
Nature.
In the first flush of triumphs,
when the Associated Press wires
of the world were vibrating with
the news that the ambient air
had been conquered, Aviation
Exhibition Companies sprang
| into existence by the score. It
looked so simple to construct an
aeroplane on the principle Of a
kite, install a gasoline motor,
than to soar away over hill and
dale to the plaudits of assembled
multitudes and the increased
plethora Of bank account : Alas!
The dream was short the pipes
went out. AS a result Of these
cheap and misguided experiments
the country is streWn with
wreckage under which lie the
hopes Of aspiring aviators if not
their crushed and mangled re-
mains.
Successful aviation demonstra-
ton, in other practical fights,
where machines leave the earth
under perfect control, fly whittier
and whence at the will Of skilled
| pilots, and return tothe startling
field with unerring certainty, are
conducted by only a few OF the
/ large corporations whose fnan-
cial resources and intimate
knowledge Of the new game viii
{ l=
permit them to cope with the
precarious nature of such exhi-
bitions.
The first actual, bona fde or.
| ganization in the United States
that has had the temerity tc
route an Aviation Exposition,
from city to city, is the w. /.
