Miss Ruth Thompson, the
young and attractive daughter
of Superintendent C. J. Thomp-
son, was given a valentine party
last Friday by her sister, Mrs.
Genung, at the latters home.
Many of the young girls friends
were there to participate in her
enjoyments, and all seemed to
have had a most splendid time.
The heart contest was the
feature of the evenings enter
tainnent and it afforded much
merriment amongst the several
youngsters that were present,
after which the lucky ones were
duly awarded handsome pre-
Sents.
Various games were partici-
pated in, melodious music was
rendered by amateur musicians of
this city, and delicious refresh
ments were served, Whereupon
the delightful affair was ended at
the reluctance of every one pre-
sent. All went home with a salts
faction Of having had d glorious
time.

Hon. Champ Clark, speaker OF

to Opelousas, to one recommend
ing the appointment of one OF
the candidates for the post
mastership at this place:
Senators have the the con-
troll. generally, over the appoint
ment of the higher appointive
Offices such as Collector of the
Port, etc. That is, their recon-
mendation, in their own State,
is generally given consideration
by the President, " says Speaker
Clark. But, he continues,
in the matter of postmasters,
the Congressman from the dis
trict which the Congressman re-
presents, is consulted, not with
a view Of giving him the sole
control, but because he is sup
posed to be more familiar with
the fitness of the applicants,
than is the Senator, representing
the entire State. !"
Col. Robert Ewing, National
Committeeman from Louisiana,
writes in a similar vein.
Il would advise you to get in
touch with DR.. Lazaro, your
Congressman, 2 he suggests.
So DR.. Lazaro is decidedly in
the saddle in the matter of post
masters in the Seventh Congress
ional District.
Anyway, from the law and

TRACTION COMPANIES
TAX SEEMS A CERTAINTY
Petition in Behalf of the Trolley Tax Meeting the
Approval of the Taxpayers
of Opelousas.

/ There is no question as tt
which side the majority of the
taxpayers will be when the elec.
tion will be held for the pro.
posed tax of two and one-haif
mills, in favor of the Louisiana
Traction and Power Company in
the near future. The petition
which is being circulated among
the voters of this city is meeting
the hearty approval of the great
majority of the citizens Of Ope-
lousas. There are only a few
men that have refused to sign
the petition, and many of these
will no doubt vote in favor of
the tax; their names will not ap-
pear with those who have so
willingly written their sigma
lures to the said petition, but
they will vote right when the
day comes.
Washingtonians are of the
opinion that they will give Ope-
lousas a splendid example of
how to carry a tax, which is
most vital to the people Of this
parish, as one Of their promi-
nent citizens said a few days
ago: Just let US have the cleo
tlon before Opelousas and we
will show you how to vote the
tax. This little city has
awakened to the advantages of
the Traction Company and is do
ing all that can possibly be done
to pass the tax by a very large
majority. No doubt Opelousas
can show them a few things
when it comes to an election
but there will be no discussions
or controversies on either part, |
Il the tax is voted at both places.
Our progressive Mayor, E. T. |
Loeb, himself, ably assisted by
one OF our popular jewelers.,
Lorenzo I Mornhinveg, have been
doing admirable work in circu-
lating the petition, which has to
be signed by one-third of the
taxpayers of this city, and they

Conference Held Monday Showed That

important Reads Will Be Investigated Into,
And Report To The Police Jury
And Town

Progressiveness seems to per-
meate the present Police Jury
of st. Landry parish.
There is a ring of onward"
in their discussions, and actions.
The old way, of the member
of a ward taking care of the in
tererst Of that ward only, seems
to have been relegated to the
antiquity of Time, to which it
bslongs.
The eye of the parochial legis-
lations are now devoted to the
general good, and a meeting, or
conference, of several members
of the Poliece Jury in the room
of that body held Monday, is
particularly apropos now, be-
cause it deals with the most
vital question before the people
of Louisiana - public roads.
The members present agreed
that good roads were absolutely
necessary, and that the graveling
of a few miles Of country roads
as an experiment, would be ad-
Visable, and it is probable that
these progressive members will
recommend to the Police Jury
that this be done.
AS the Clarion said two weeks
ago, gravel is cheap. and trans
portation and labor are the only
items, really, to be considered.

Sanitarian.

Opelousas can boast of clean,
sanitary meat, because DR..
Dowling, the President of the
State Board of Health of
Louisiana, says SO.
I consider the public markets
of the city of Opelousas above
the average, and particularly the
city market, 4 said Dr.. Bowling.
If other cities and towns would
just come and look at the Ope-
lousas public market, they could
learn a valuable lesson.
DR.. Bowling conplirnented the
screening around the stalls, the
manner in which the meat was
kept from flies, and the cleanli-
ness of the butchers.

point, and who is charged with
embezzling fourteen hundred
dollars of the company's funds.
When he suspected the audi
| tor had discovered his shortage,
he disappeared from the zone of
his defalcation, and pursued
various occupations, including
school teacher, and finally land
ed in Canada.
But a railroad company is a
hard proposition to beat, and
Null knows it now. Perhaps
the Frisco company spent more
money for detectives expenses
than the .embezzlen1ent amounts
to-but Null is caught.
This is the second trip that
Sheriff Swords and Mr.. Emory
have made for Null. On the
first trip they went as far as
Washington. D. c., and found
there that the papers in their
possession did not justify the
United States government in
asking the extridiction of Null.
They came back home, and
secured the necessary afidavits,
and Secretary of State Knox has
issued the call upon the Domin-
ion of Canada to deliver over to
Uncle Samuel the person of II.
c. Null.
While agent in Opelousas,
Null was we'll thought Of.
He was a baseball manager,
and the head Of a movement
which we belive would have re-
bounded to the benefit of the
country the Boosters Club. =
