protesting his innocence.
His heart-broken wife is at
the Lacombe Hotel, full of faith
that her husband is not a Grim

Mn. Null was arrested in Ed

days ago.
Sheriff Swords and Travelling
Auditor Emory, the latter OF the
Frisco road, made a trip for him
some two weeks ago, but could
not obtain the extradition pa
pers from Washington, D. g.,
on account of inefficiency OF
papers.
They returned, and again
went to Canada armed with the
proper papers and brought Null
to the scene of his alleged crime.
1t took them just eleven days
to make the trip to the Canada
town, where Null was impris.
oned in a military barrack.
Sheriff Swords did not believe
it necessary to handcuf Null, as
the prisoner showed a DISPOSE

the charges. 1.

PRINCESS THEATRE
AIDS CHURCH

On Thursday niget, Mr.. No
Ian, the manager Of the popular
Princess Theatre, turned over
the proceeds of that nights per-
Torrance over to the Methodist
Church to help the fund for Sc
curing an organ for that church.
Mr.. Nolan, always ready to
help out chsrity, has on several
occasions given the proceeds Of
a nights show to different char.
liable institutions of this city.
This shows the true manhood of
this gentleman, and in return
for his many gracious acts, he
should be given all the co-opera-
ton and assistance he so richly
deserves In his endeavors to
give the Opelousas people a
splendid performance. He can
not be complimented to highly
for his many deeds to help out
good causes.
Besides Mr.. Nolan, Miss Irene
Shute deserves a great deal of
praise for the work she has done
in the past week to make Thurs
day nights show a perfect
success.

POST IS
POPULAR convenience
Rural Deliveries Are Filled
With Packages
Every Day.

The people of this section
seem to have fallen in love at
first sight with the parcel post
system recently inaugurated by
the Government, by which pack
ages, pigs, baby buggies, axle
grease lin fact anything under
the sun-can be sent by mail.
The wee hacks furnished to
the rural carriers now resemble
a supply intended for a Christ
mas tree.
The Clarion has always advised
residents of a community to pat
ronize home merchants.
It is necessary to the good of
the country that they should
the merchant, the artisan, the
the banker, constitute
the country-they should work
hand in hand, or fall.
But there are many things that
our merchants don't keep on
hand, and we hope that these
are the only articles that are or.
dered through parcel post.

He is in the game all the time,

it. He is out to learn and as he is
only nineteen he should get in

What a remarkable team the

proud of his term mate Injun.'

ewing to Your
H0nfe,' Little Pearl.

Eta Pearl Kerr died at the
home of her parents last Mon
day, aged " years, 10 months
and Is days.
Tears of those who knew her
sprinkle her grave
Hearts of those who knew her
ache with tenderness, with sor-
row, because Pearl has gone.
There are memories of a.sWeeT,
gentle girl, polite to all, loving
toher fr1eRds-devoted Co. her
father, and her mother, and her
sisters a N d brothers-burning
in the mind and heart.
There is the realization of the
real present: the realization Of
the tender flower lying under
the sod, there to wither, and
Wither, until all semblance of
her sweetness in life, have
gone to dust"
But if there are angels; il that
happy country where winged
and white-robed ones play the
harp and gambol over gardens
of beauty and sweet scent, ex-
lists, Pearl is among the fore
most of the angel host.
The bereaved parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the

81 VAGEBY.

The Clarion had an editorial
last week on the impassibility OF
the savage instinct handed down
to the Mexicans by the tribal
Chief Montezuma.
The editorial went on further
and predicted that, notwith-
standing the warning OF the
United States Government, Ma.
dero, recently President of Mex
leo. would be murdered.
And he is dead-shot in the
back, when he was supposed to
be being conveyed to safety.
Madero was an intrepid, mer-
CHESS man, but he did not de:
serve death by murder the still
live embers of savagery.
The weak policies of President
Taft is to a great extent respon.
sible for the murder of Madero.
Diplomacy is too often a CLOAK
used to cover cowardice. !.
There is only the Rio Grand'
river separating US from thi'
barbaric Republic of Mexico
Conditions were not as bad il
Cuba when the United States in
teryened.
For this civilized nation to per
nit this reign of blood to con
tinue in Mexico makes it, prac
tically, a party to the atrocitie
= because it could stop it.

FARMERS BUSY THROUGHOUT
The PARISH
The wide Awake Country Men Taking Advantage
OF The GOOD Weather And
Filling Their Sell

In every nook and corner OF
this parish, wherever a cultiva-
BILE piece of land is to be found,
there can be seen industrious far
mers tilling their soil, preparing
for the coming crop. All who
are able to do the work on their
farms are at the plow handle
turning the land for the potato,
Ecotton, h~ay9zeern, sugar cane and
other crops, and the indfcatfols
50 far are good for a splendid
year end.
The boil weevil fast coming in
to oblivion, a larger area of land
will be planted into cotton and
the farmers Of this parish hope
to see st. Landry once more as
sumo the lead as a cotton grow
ing country, and this crop is ex-
pected to far surpass any that
we have seen around here since
the ever memorable year of 1904,
when St. Landry produced over
sc, 600 bales of the costly fiber.
The potato crop will have to be
reckoned with this year as every
farm, small or large, has a patch
of both Irish and sweet potatoes.
The increase of this crop in the
last four years in this parish has
been marvellous, and it is still
igrowing rapidly.
The lespadeza hay, a thing
which was not looked upon as
proftableuntil recently, has PROV
en- to be a very good paying crop
and this year will be seen that
this parish will have an enor-
nous quantity of that splendid
feed stuff.
The corn crop does not seem to
farmers
have diminished, on the contrary,
fancy prices in the last twelve
months has determined the far
mers to have more of that cereal
and the acreage will be largely
Increased.
However in these days of pro-
gressiveness it is deemed best
for a planter to have diversified
crops, as it is argued if one croI
fails the others are more liable tx
be profitable and the former
would not sustain such severe
losses as is experienced when HI
plants only cotton, or corn o.
sugar cane and the season is bae
J for either one of these crops
: 3'Diversifcation'' is the motto 0:
. all industrious farmers, and i
will be seen in future years tina
the motto will materalize.
The weather being ideal fol
the last two or three weeks, TIT
farmers are taking advantage 0.
; it and doing all in their power tt
pillow down their lands before Thu
rains set in, and at the same timt
follow the old proverb: Make
hay while the sunshine"
When the long winter month!
!. set in it will be seen that all thu
farmers throughout ST. Landr.
have amply. provided for them
selves, and there will be no neet
to fear that the wolf will entel
their homes.

Died.
Enrol Louis stagg.

A said occurrence, indeed, was
the death Of little Enrol Louis
Stagg. the five year old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. A. Stage,
on last Saturday.
The death of this little tor
came as a shock to the many
friends Of the Stage family, az
the child was reported better The
morning before his joining the
greater majority.
Mr.. Stage is the city clerk and
a very popular man; his seoressof
friends are most sorroWfu over
the sad incident. To the grief
stricken family the Clarion ex-
tends its smypathieg and condo
ilence.
Little Enrol was the only male
child to- perpetuate the inn
mediate family of st. Landry's
Grand Old Man, the late Paul
Stagg.
Enrol, bright. as pretty as a
girl, was a general favorite.
The housewife of the neigh
borhood, and the grown girls of
these neighbors, Rugged him to
their bosom, because he was
sweet of manner, and affection
ate of disposition.
The husbands, and other men
of the eeighboehood, would pet
him, and carry him on their
shoulders, because he was a
little man, and smart, and polite.
His playmates did not quarrel
with him, because Enrol would
moi quarrel. $50
A touching scene, coming as a
climax to this sad death, was
enacted by his little sister, four
years old.
When tender hands went to
put the little body in the coffin,
the little sister exclaimed Just
wait; he is sleeping I'll wake
him up, and tell him well go
out and play"

year struggle to keep his beauti-
full wife, the former Fanny Ward
of st. Louis, from returning to
the stage ended, so ended his
four years fight to win her back
from the glare of the footlights
lin complete failure.
All his millions, his mansions,
yachts, his diamonds couldn't
keep his actress wife at home,
and couldn't win her back after
she had left.
A divorce decree separates
them, and the diamond king goes
back to his diamond mines, and
the "prettiest woman on the Eng
lish stage" stays thereon the
stage.
Leaving a whole battalion OF
beaux and admirers behind in st.
Louis, Fanny Ward went to New
York and the stage. She came
to- London, and except for her
striking beauty won little COM
ment and less success as an
actress.

went on strike today because they
could not continue the heavy
tasks assigned them on two meals
a day.
When the five prisoners, who
have been compelled to handle
the wood that is used in the fur
mace at the court house, were or
dered out this morning, they re-
fused to go to their work until
the county commissioners prom
ised to allow them their accus-
toned three meals.
Last night the commissioners
denied the TRUSTEES" supper
other than a piece of bread anc
cup of tea each.
This, the men declare, Is In
sufficient to keep them in condi
ton for their heavy task.

ately lost their lure for him. In
1900 they were married; a year
later a daughter was born. Eight
years they lived together, while
the call of the stage was grow
ing stronger and stronger in the
breast of the st. Louis girl. Four
years ago she left her husband
for the footlights.
The first night she appeared In
Drury Lane theater in a million
dollars worth of real diamonds
and diaphanous Venus costume,
Fanny Ward Lewis blazed before
all London as a star of the first
theatrical magnitude. Since then
she has appeared in America.
The diamond king offered 10
lay his wealth at her tiny feet If
she would come back TO him
and leave the stage forever. She
stoutly resisted.
"My heart and soul is in the
theater. l can't leave it. would
rather be what / am than have
all the money in the world to
spend and not be permitted to
act" she said. After she had
told Lewis that for four years he
lost hope. The divorce suit, un-
defended, followed.

Prof. Felix Klemperer was the

all DR.. Friedmann's precautions

obtained the consent of one of
Friedmann's patients to draw
from his arm the living bacilli

GETS FIRST
READING

Eager for a new 25-year fran
chise the Bell Telephone COM
pany represented by G. o. Bates
and Charles Peterson and w. j.
Phillips, division superintendent,
appeared at the council chamber
this morning when the franchise
prepared by Judge Stiles some
months ago was given its first
reading.
The company raised many OBJ
jections.
1t insists on citizens signing
one of those death warrant"
contracts to get a telephone. II
asked for many minor changes
but the real sticker comes on the
rates and the percentage to be
paid the city.
Judge Stiles ordinance pro-
vided the city should get per
cent the first five years, 2 the
next five, the third five years,
4 per cent the fourth five years
and 8 per cent of the gross reve-
hoNo INC iuot hNO
The company wanted 70 pay
per cent the first five years and
2 per cent thereafter.
But the company also had a
schedule of rates. 1t wanted to
charge the present rates until
$1,000 phones are in-tnere are
now about $4,000. Then it want
ed to boost private telephone to
$3.50 until there are 10000 tele-
phones In and then put 1t up to
81, Business telephones were to
be boosted to $S.
The fraSchise if it ever passes
at all through the council must
be submitted to the people and
the company will pur up the
money for an election.
The council turned back to the
company its check for $3,47S and
will consider the franchise rur-
ther.

stenographer, in the local police
court recently after Walter
speyer, AS, wealthy insurance
man and bachelor. had had her
arrested because she persisted in
counting him over the telephone.
According to Speyer she made it
practice to phone him from IS

tinued Miss Freed. He visited
ME several times, but as warmed
up he got cold. But enough is
plenty, and | won't call him any

case dismissed.
