BONNER SUCCEEDS MUNTz.

Charles j. Bonner, the newly-elected
secretary of the Orleans Levee Board.
was born in Algiers Feb. IA, 1882,
where he has resided ever since. He
is the youngest of seven sons of Mi
chael ]. Bonner, one of the oldest and
most respected citizens of the Fifth
District. That he is fitted for the du-
ties of secretary is attested by the fact
that he is an experienced all around
office man and accountant of more
than ten years experience, during
which time he has held positions of
trust and responsibility where execu-
tive ability was also required; as well
as serving as rodman or assistant to
civil engineers. Formerly Mr.. Bonner
was station accountant for the Vicks-
burg, Shreveport & Pacific division of
the Queen & Crescent route in the Of
flee of the assistant comptroller at the
corner of Baronne and Gravier streets.
Mr.. Bonner is very prominent in fra
ternal circles and Is an active member
of the Workingmen's Union and Ben
evolent Association, and Orange Camp
No. 8, Woodmen of the World, having
filled most Of the important Offices in
the latter organization, where it is said
he rendered signal services.
The appointment of Mr.. Bonner to
the important position of secretary of
the Orleans Levee Board has created
widespread satisfaction among a large
circle of friends in his district. and
the city where he is widely
known.
Mr.. Bonner said concerning his Sc
lection:
Il am glad to have received the
unanimous vote of the Commissioners
Of the Orleans Levee Board as their
choice for secretary, and fully appre-
ciate what 1t means in the way of re-
sponsibility. Being a board composed
Of practical business men of excep-
tional ability, whose sole aim 1t will be
to give the people of this district the
best business administration possible,
can only say that my energies while
associated with the board will be de-
voted to the work, and I will enter
upon the duties Of the Office with an
eye single to further the success of the
work as planned by the board, which
is in the interest of the whole people,
and l will not regard the Office as
political asset"

SEEKS A HUSBAND.
But Mainly to Prosecute Him for Com
hitting Bigamy-Eugene Dupuy
Has Disappeared, Taking Irate
Second Wife's Young Bro
Their Along.

Behind the sudden disappearance OF
Eugene J. Dupuy, a boilermaker who
worked for the Southern Pacific Rail.
road, is a story of woman's ingenuity
in planning plot to peer into his per.
fidy. That he has a wife in Newcastle,
Pa, there is little doubt, as his wife
received a letter for him, care of Gen.
eral Delivery, on Aug. 5, and found
another one a short time previous in
looking through his pockets.
Dupuy and his wife and her little
girl, 2 years old, lived at 215 Seguin
street for the past few weeks. Before
that they lived with his wife's parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. James Riley, at 2739
Cleveland avenue.
When he was faced with the two
letters from his wife in Newcastle,
Mrs. Dupuy said he was so nervous he
did not know what to say. He was
extra nice to her, because he feared
that she would take action against
him.
Dupuy told his wife he was going
to work Wednesday night, and advised
her to stay at her mothers home, but
she felt something was wrong and
went to Algiers, only to find her hus-
band had gone and all his belongings
missing.
Dan Riley, her 16 year-old brother,
who worked as a helper to Dupuy,
disappeared with him. 1t is believed
that they went either to Memphis,
Tucson, Arizona, or Chicago, as work
in their line was plentiful there.
Mrs. Dupuy said she learned from
E. j. Nora, a boy years old, her hus-
bands nephew, that last November the
wife from Newcastle was here, and
all that time she was mistreated by
him. None of his people here seemed
according to Mrs. Dupuy No. 2, to want
her to know anything about the other
woman.
When Mrs. Dupuy looked through
her husbands belongings recently she
found post cards with the name Ethel
Russell on them, dated Newcastle, Pa.
The letter received bore the address
R. F. D., No. 1, evidently a
suburb.
Mrs. Dupuy was Miss May Riley. She
has been married twice. Her first |
husband was George Chanove, from
whom she got a divorce last February.
She and Dupuy were married April % |
of this year by Judge Renshaw. Mrs. |
Dupuy said that he was extremely ner-
vous on that day, and she never could |
account for it.
Dupuy was glib of tongue and suave |
in his manner, and his wife said he |
would easily deceive any girl. He is
a capable boilermaker and always
earned good wages, but the love of
women seemed to have been his I'M
doing.
Mrs. Dupuy will prosecute her hus-
band IL he is found, as she is deter
mined to teach him lesson.

OUR DISTRICT LOSER S9,972.
Annually Though Change i'm Levee
Board.

Now that the Good Government re-
representatives. have taken over control
of the Orleans Levee Board, it is well
for the people of this district to meas
ure the great good to them that has
been accomplished thereby; and this
may be taken as a fair example of the
results that will accrue should these
office-seeking malcontents be further
successful in their efforts to get con-
troll of the government machinery.
Under the administration of the reg
ular democrats the maintenance and
care of the levees on our bank of the
river, some thirteen or fourteen miles
in length, there was assigned a force
consisting of two inspectors at 500
per month each, 26 white laborers at
81 per day each and two negro labor
ers at S1.75, and to practical men, con-
sidernig the territory to be cared for,
this would be minimum force to give
the levees proper attention. Notwith-
standing the fact that the men were
all experienced in this class of work,
under the new arrangement the force
of laborers has been reduced to ten
men with one inexperienced inspector.
While there can be no doubt that our
levees will suffer from neglect, there
is another phase of the case that is
worthy of consideration and that is
the monetary loss that will be felt by
our district in the withdrawal of the
wages of these employees whose SER
vices have been dispensed with. Al
giers can i'll afford to lose any of its
income at this time and if this So
called reform movement cannot offer
more encouragement for furthering
our interests than is shown in this in
stance, it will be we'll for you voters
who have been beguiled thus far, to

Theatres.


AdEoINO1 4hEA1kEs
During the week of March 4, commenc-
ing with the matinee, the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Phila., will present, for the first time, at
popular prices, one of the most delightful
romantic comedies ever put upon the
boards, in Ernest Denney's distinctively
original play, "All of Sudden Peggy"
This sterling play has qualities rarely
seen in this present-day writing of farcical
presentations, in that it simply reeks with
comedy of different type from the ordinary
story. 1t has the beastly bloomin' English
character that is so much enjoyed on the
American stage, the Irish wit and humor
of Mrs. O'Mara, the dome-head possibil1-
ties in Professor Anthony Crackenthorpe,
Fellow of the chronological Society-to
be palmer, crank on spiders not to
mention the catch-as-catch-cand disposition
of Peggy-of whom it's all about. All OF
sudden.
This comedy was originally produced al
Duke of York's Theatre, London. Eng
land, with Marie Tempest in the title role
and was there and then heralded the play
of the contemporary times, which justly
deserved reputation soon spread the
countries over until we can trathfully pro
claim it an international triumph in the
way of comedy.
The play is made up of three acts, O.
suddennesses:" THE Suddenness of Peggy
at Lord Crackenthorpe's country house
''The Suddenness of Consequences" a
Jimmy Keppel's fiat in London; 9TH
Consequences of Suddenness'' at Hawk
hurst, Lord Crackenthorpe's home Il
the Orpheum presentation William Inger
soil and Carolyn Gates will be seen in tn
leading roles, and the full strength of tn
Orpheum Company will be seen to ad
vantage in the many exceptional parts
1t is well to remember that the Orpheur
Players give performance every after
noon at AIS and every evening at 81.
and then, too, you can have reguls
seat put aside for you every week
applying to the box-office attaches, VIII
will explain fuller the advantages.
