Meritorious Values for Gift Purchasers
Above All This Is a
Store of
Value-Civing

1t matters not what your purchase
may be-a paper of pins or the most
expensive Oriental rug-you may
depend upon the quality-there's
full value for every penny invested.
That's "service" in the "new"
Matthews Store.
At Christmas time this is doubly
important for there must be
economy even in gift purchasing, and
it is here that economy finds an i'm
portant part in the planning of our
sales. With assortmcnts greater by
far than in any similar period in the
stores history, surely you'll want to
make this store your centre of holi-
day shopping. But little longer than
one week remains-short days, too
do not delay until the last moment.

CATTLE ARE DYING RAPID
LY IN PLAISANCE.
The Whole section Reported To Be infected
With Charb0a.

The farmers in the Plaisance
and Andrepont section Of this
parish have been suffering severe
losses during the last week, due
to cattle and horses dying rapidly
with a desease, which many Of
the old farmers there claim is
charbon.
It is said that nearly every day
there are animals reported dead
from this terrible malady, and
the farmers in the Northern por-
ton of old St. Landry are getting
alarmed at this calamity.
It is indeed a terrible thing;
when the boil Weevils and worms
are not eating up the crops of the
poor farmers, of this parish,
there are some diseases which
set in to do away with the cattle
and horse industry of this Sec
ton, It is hoped, however, that
the charbon, or whatever desease
it is, will soon be extinct, and
after all the draw backs which
our farmers have been subjected
to this year, these men, who are
the backbone of cur country, will

One CHICKEN THIEF
IS PLACED IN JAIL
Negro Who COPIED Three
Chickens at Boagni's Place
is Taken insCustody.

A negro named Samuel Bush
is now confined in the parish
prison, awaiting trial for chicken
thefts, being charged with hav-
ing entered the premises Of Mr..
=. NJ. Boagni, on the night Of
the 18th, and having carried
away with him three chickens
which belonged to Mr.. Boagni.
AS soon as Mr.. E. MI. Boarni
made the affidavit against the
negro, Mr.. Plais Horn, city mar
shal, went in pursuit Of the
negro, who was promptly taken
into custody. Bush, being
arraigned in the city court. be.
fore Judge E. S. Kerr, was com
mitted to jail in default Of q
bond of $3.50.
1t is said that Bush went
among Mr.. Boagni's chicken
coops. and was seen by an old
negro who works in the ward.
at Mr.. Boagni's, leaving with
with three healthy chickens.
The old negro, led by desire to
attend to his masters things.
and probably also, keeping ii
mind the SIS reward which IS
offered by the city administra-
tion, went close enough 70 the
nocturnal visitor, SO as to be able
to identify him, whereupon he
readily told his master the whole
story.
When Bush was recognized and
caught read handed he started
out in a break-neck run, making
his escape and dropping two hens
and a rooster to the ground.
For the last few lnoaths there
has been no end to the chicken
thefts which have been pulled
off in this city, and it is to be
hoped that all the thieves will By
lodged in jail and given a severe
punishment. Scarcely a night
passes without some chickens
missing in different quarters Of
this city.
The arrest Of Bush might re-
suit in the capturing of the rest,
who it is supposed are in league
with one another.
1t is suggested that the citizens
Of Opelousas who have been
missing chickens, for the last six
months, send the number to the
Clarion. so that it can be publish
ed to show the public just exact
" what the chicken thieves have
been doing inthis city. It Id time
to stop them, and by showing
what they have been doing it
would excite the people here to
join together in an effort to cap-
ture the gang of thieves who
nave been operating in and
around Opelousas.

GOVERNOR BREWER
GRANTS REQUISITIONS
Mississippi's Governor Finally Honors Governor
Halls Requisition Papers in
Walters Dunbar Case

Governor Earl Brewer, Of Mis-
sissippi, has finally honored the
requisition Of Governor Hall.
He has given orders to the sher-
lit OF Marion county to turn over
Walters to the proper represen-
tatives of Louisiana, and has
cleared his hands in the Walters
Dunbar case, which has been
the talk of the two states for the
last two months.
Sheriff Swords and Mr.. Henry
EstOrge were notified by Gov
ernor Hall to go to Baton Rouge,
on Thursday morning, where
they went to get the necessary
papers, from the Governor of
Louisiana, to go to Columbia. as
Louisiana's representatives, to
make a demand for the alleged
kidnaper. They got to Colum-
bia last night, or they will reach
the scene where the Dunbar
child was taken from w. G.
Walters sometime to-day.
The attorneys for Walters
have applied for a writ of
habeas corpus, and it is said that
Judge Weatherby, of the Marion
county court. has granted them
a hearing, which is to take place
on the I'd of July. Mr.. Dunbar's
lawyers, however, are confident
that Walters will not be granted
a writ Of habeas corpus and it is
orly a matter Of a few days be-
fore the itinerant tinker will be
brought to this city to stand
trial for the kidnapping Of little
Robert Dunbar. Jr.
The next question Whic h
arises in the mind of the public
is, will Walters be tried in this
court, or will he have to stand
trial in an adjoining district?
The only reason why the alleged
kidnaper should be given al
change of venue would be if he
could prove to the trial judge,
who will be Hon. B. II. Pavyl
that the public here is strongly |
prejudiced against him; a thing
which would be difficult to prove, |
as the citizens of st. Landry are
more laW-abiding than the gem
eral class of people. They have
never entertained an idea of Civ
ing Walters an unfair trial, but
on the contrary every wisel

FARMERS UNION WILL
MEET AT LEWIsBURG

President r. Lee Mills, Of the
Farmers Union, was in this city
during the latter part of last
week, and stated that the farm
ers Union Parish Meeting would
be held on Thursday, June 26th,
at Jean Baptiste Thibodeaux.
near Lewisburg, La.
At this meeting Mr.. William
P. Young, the agricultural repre-
sentative of the Southern Pacific
railroad, will deliver q speech to
the farmers of st. Landry.
Mr.. I. N. McCollister, state
president will be at the meeting.
The seventh District Congress
man is expected to be present,
and most probably DIR. Lazaro
will also make a speech on this
great occasion.
After the meeting there will
be q big basket picnic, to which
the public is cordially invited.
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1913-06-21

thinker of this parish is of the
opinion that Walters could be
given a very fair and impartial
trial, here in Opelousas.
Mr.. Dunbar has spent all the
money he had for the restora-
tion Of his long lost child, and
is now spending unnecessary
money in this case. If the case
would be held in another court
he would have to borrow money
in order to attend the trial.
Furthermore the people of this
parish know better, than those
living in adjoining parishes, the
circumstances Of the case, es-
pecially the Swayze lake woods.
where the child disappeared.
They could be in a better posi-
ton to judge whether Walters
was the kidnaper of the child or
not, than a jury in any other
court.
The people here all reioiced
when the news of the granting
OF the acquisitions were flashed
over the wires early Wednesday
morning. The news came as a
most pleasant surprise to the
population of this city, ais the
consensus of opinion here, was
that Governor Brewer would not
sign the papers until the fall
They however deem that though
the Governor of Mississippi took
a long time to consider the hon
oring of Governor Halls requi-
sitiOn, he has acted prudently.
He was told by Walters attor-
neys that they could prove to
him that the tinker was not in
the state of Louisiana when Rob-
ert Dunbar disappeared from
Swayze lake. This they did
not do thoroughly t and
from the evidence produced by
the Dunbar lawyers, Governor
Brewer decided that it was best
to let the courts decide whether
Walters kidnapped little Bobbie
or not.
Walters will not be tried until
the regular criminal session,
which will convene in this city in
the month of October, and it is
that when the trial will
commence there will be visitors
from many points throughout the
South

THIRD WARD PEOPLE
PLEASED WITH WATER
Through Influence Of Councilman Sicily CITY
ADMINISTRATION Extended Waiar
main.

The citizens of the third ward
of Opelousas are highly pleased
with the extension of the water
main into their territory. It had
been several years that the peo-
pie Of this ward of our city were
anxious to secure water connec-
tion from the city; they were
entitled to it. but on account of
the financial embarrassment of
the city treasury, at that time,
nothing would be done in this
direction.
Councilman Sicily, who rep
resents that ward most admir-
ably, sought hard to give the
people, who placed him on the
Board of Aldermen of this city,
this convenience, and the Board
of Aldermen did not disappoint
the third ward alderman, but set
to work having nearly a mile Of
water main put down, and now
the people on the Western end of
Opelousas are connected with
the city water, as well as the
more thickly populated sections
Of this city.
The people living in the third
ward feel grateful to Mr.. Sicily,
in particular for this work, but
still they realize that, had it not
been for the cooperation of the
Mayor and Board Of Aldermen
they would still be in the same
predicament in which they had
been living for years. They,
therefore, wish to extend their
thanks to the Mayor and his
able Board.

mr.. FRED MAYER NOW
ON HEALTH TRAIN
Dr. Bowling Appoints l. o c |
Physician on State
Health Car.

Dir. Fred J. Mayer, President
Of the State Medical Association,
has accepted a position with the
louisiana Health Train, which
left New Orleans on Monday
morning for a tour of Louisiana.
The news of the appointment of
DR.. Mayer to the health train
came as very pleasant surprise
to his many friends and admirers
throughout the state of Louis
lana; they, however, always felt
that the Doctor should be ac-
corded such a position, as he is
naturally a public ic-spirited man,
willing to do anything by which
his people may better them
selves, if it lies within his power.
It is rumored that DIR. Mayer
has been placed in DR.. DoWling's s
position, whilst the head of the
Louisiana Health Board remain
ed in Minnesota, where he went
to be at the National Conven-
ton of Doctors. DIR. Mayer, will
however, be retained when the
great DR.. Bowling returns from
the North. But this does not
mean that DR.. Mayer will re-
sign from the Presidency Of the
State Medical Association: on
the contrary he will continue to
work for the association more
strenuonsly than ever. In fact
it was on account of being in a
better position to fulfill his duty
as head of the state medicoes
that he finally consented to ac-
cept DR.. Dowling's proposition.
DR.. Mayer was called to New
Orleans by Or. Bowling some
time last week, but he did not
know what the head of the State
Board of Health could want with
him; he had no idea of being
stationed on the health train.
When he arrived in New Orleans
and was told by DR.. Bowling
what was expected from him and
what the health board would do
for him, DR.. Mayer was COM
pletely mystiied. When he was
shown, however, that he could
work in a better manner to ac-
complish his end in view of Sc
curing nearly all of the parishes
In the state to place themselves
in the Louisiana registration
area. DR.. Mayer consented to ac-
cept the job
He will have charge of the
health train, until DR.. Bowling
returns from his northern trip, |
and there is no doubt that DIR.
Mayer, who has had a great deal
of experience on the board of
health, in previous years. will
take excellent care of the sani-
tary kings train until he comes
back to Louisiana.
The hosts Of friends Of DIR.
Mayer in this city congratulate
him upon the honor bestowed
upon him by the president of
Louisiana Board of Health.

This is indeed an Improvement,
making the plugs look like new.

OPELOUSAS, LA. SATURDAY, JUNE q 1913
new IBERIA GETS
SEVERE NALLOPING
Local Boys Take Sundays Game
With Greatest Ease, Win
3 ming by Score of 6 to /.

Inc new lDeTfd ana OpeIOuSaS
game, on the local diamond, last
Sunday, was a Walk-over for the
home team; from the beginning
to the end of the game Toby
Veltin held the visitors at his
merry, Opelousas winning by a
g to / score.
The game was of itself one of
! the sloWest ever witnessed this
season, and the New Iberia team
was a source of disappointment
to the local fans, who had antic-
ipated a close game. Opelousas.
however, played in tip-top form
and give Veltin almost perfect
support.
Charlie Dejean was there with
| the goods behind the batter,
while Brown and Thompson were
taking care of their places in ex-
cellent manner, the latter COM
ing once in a while with some
clever head-work. Leo Larcade,
the youngest member of the
Opelousas team, looks like a
very promising player, swinging
his bat to the ball, and making
connection, as though he was an
experienced man; he sometimes
makes some of the old heads"
feel like a dime with a hole in it,
when he comes to the plate.
There is no doubt that he will
make Opelousas a valuable man
before long. The team as a
whole played excellent ball.
Mayor Loeb, the new manager
of the Opelousas team, an
nounces that his team will play
against Eunice tomorrow. Eu-
nice has been the rival of the
local aggregation, for the last
few seasons, and having the
'invincible Casey" as their
pitcher, the Eunice club is COM
ing to Opelousas with the deter
mination of winning the game.
On the other hand the local boys
have made up their minds that
Eunice will not win, as they are
bent upon playingsIhe best game
of the season. There is no doubt
that the game tomorrow will
be the hardest fought on the
local diamond, regardless of the
Rayne game played here some
three weeks ago.
Roofing goes a long ways
with the winnings Of a team,
and the local aggregation of ball
players are like all other ball
clubs, they like to hear their
friends root for them. When a
player knows that his friends
are with him he will work much
harder and with more interest,
so as to win the game. So come
out all you fans tomorrow after
noon, the game will start around
5hree o'clock; be there to cheer
your side to victory and help out
he Opelousas team bring home
he bacon. =
Did you ever see a pitchers
oattle? If you did, it is a sure
hing that, you would not mind
seeing another, and if you did
lot, Sundays game is your
chance. Come out and see the
dol of the Eunice fans pitch
against Opelousas and see what
he boys will do to him and his
eam-mates.
