The special committee appointed to
 xannine the school building reported last night at the meeting of the city council that the building must be rais- cd at once, that foundation must be placed underneath, that the boiler house must be chang d and that vari- ous other improvements, costing $3,000 must be at once effected. The coun. eil agreed to enter into the work at once and counoiImen Murphy and Walker were appointed to take charge of it, and so goes the city plunging to the bottom of its treasury for some thing which is absoIut Iy necessary after "the best council Nome ever had" hos just left office.
 The other business transacted by toI'c'I was of little importance. t was decided to raise a flag staff on the city hall and to take some steps to meet the Seattle visitors who are coming during the summer. CounciI- men Julien and Beeksted were made 3 committee to transact the onerous duties of putting up the flag pole.
 The city attorney said that the new law passed by the Alaska legislature makes it necessary for the city to let all future contracts on the basis of eight hours work under them. A bit of humor was injected when the clerk read an inquiry for a coiored lady, aged 45 and stout. Her name is Mrs. Battles and she is wanted by relatives at Winnipeg. Julien sug- sested that the search be entrusted to Or. Mustard. Failing that he believed present shief of police would be found skilled in a search of lady of such color having proved some capacity in that direction before.
 But there was nothing much done except to hear the report of officers, except the decision to spend on the necessary work of saving the school building a sum which is nearly twice as much as the amount which the city now has in the treasury. Some day tax payers may be more careful.

Negro Is Drowned In Second Lake.

A negro by the name of Louis
Glasston, who was in the employ
of Major Flanders, Superinten-
dent of the OpeIousas Gulf &
Northeastern Railroad, was
drowned at Second Lake on We'd
nesday evening, while out sleigh
ing with a party of negros.
The seining party had scarcely
entered the water when Glass
ton was seen to disappear under
the water Of the deep lake. He
did not give a warning of his de-
pature to the others nor did he
utter one word, but went down
to a Watery grave silently and
alone.
It is supposed that he was
seized by a cramp, and unable te
endure it he went to the bottom
of Second Lake.
Some white men who were al
the lake hurriedly went to Hall
Moon, where they secured {
hook, and coming back they SCI
to work, getting the negro out
of the lake. After Iaborious at
tempts to bring the drowned
negro to life were in vain

which prevail in organized and
civilized society. Society, pri-
marty, had its origin in the
family, and under the family re-
gime the father was master and
governor, but as families multi
piled and the organization be-
came more complex, giving rise
to diffeent relations of inter-
course among each other, as
their vocations increased the
demand for more complex laws
for their government arose. The
rights of persons and the rights
of property sprang into exist
ence, and the necessity for the
enactment of laws for the pro-
lection of their rights, and these
laws became more numerous as
the complexity of the social or
ganization increased, and are
still becoming more and more
complex every day as the pro-
cess of civilization progresses,
the general intention of all OF
them being to give to everyone
the privilege to enjoy life and
property and the pursuit of hap
piness. Under this system of
government and civilization it
became necessary to impose on
each individual. not an equal
burden, but to distribute the
burdens of government among
the people so that each one
would bear a share commensu-
rate with the benefit which he
would he derive from it. The
man who owns vast amounts OF
property and who needs more
protection from the government
so that he can be safe in his per-
son and the enjoyment of his
property, owes more to the gov
eminent for that protection than
the poor man who has nothing
to be protected, and that it is
his duty to contribute common
surately to the establishment of
good citizenship among the PEG
pie in order that his safety of
life, limb, liberty and the en-
of property may be
guaranteed unto him is no longer
IA disputed or debatable questsqn,
but is now almost regarded al
most as am axiom i'm the science
of sociology. lie then these
premises are correct. and the ed
ucation of the masses is a good
thing, which is now conceded
by all right thinking people, why
should not THIS question be agi-
.tated among the people. so that
their wishes on this, important
subject may be ascertained?

gestion of the solutions of the

DR.. Stephen WIFI Retain Presidency

Dr. L. Stephens, who has been
the. president OF the Southwest
erm Louisiana Industrial, Insti-
tate, was raNappointed for
another year. 1t was ruaaaofed
Sometimes ago that the. doctor
would be removed, but this rum
or does not seem to have had any
footing as Dr.. Stephen was re-
elected to succeed himself by an
unanimous vote.
The institute has hoarished
bsplendidly under the able reign
fof the present head and it would
Ehave been an injustice to the
worthy educator to- have had
him removed on account of some
political purposes.
| The vote OF the Board Trustee,
however, shows that the MEM
bers Of the Board are convinced
that On. Stephen has made a
good President; and these men
are fully aware Of the real worth
of the present head of the Insti-
tute.
One Of the important changes
made by the Board of Trustees
on Tuesday morning was the APP
pointment of De. r. d. VOORHEES,
to succeed DIR. J. F. Mouton,
whose term expired.

Little Frances Allen Is Ne
Mere.

The soul of listle Frances Me-
girley Allen. infant daughter of
Mr.. IT. Cliff Allen and Constance
L. Meginley, has departed from
this world to, jain the great ma
jorhy. The little child Wrs but
seven months old, and was the
pride of the family. Since her
departure into the unknown the
haupH threshold OF the. Allen
home seems t0shave a sorroWful
pail hanging over it,. and the.
house appears, to be vacant, all
Though other loved ones are
aro2nd.
Little Frances is gogae,, bua
will ever be remembered; her
life was cut short by the sharp
knife of Death, but she is now
with the angels in Heaven pray
ing for her grief stricken rela-
tiyes and friends. Her death
has made q vacancy IN the Alien
home never to be refilled; there
can be but sweet memories of
the path left for those behmd;
her loving father and adorable
mother will have happy recollec-
tons of an innocent and pure
little soul, whose stay upon this
cruel world was but ephemeral.
The funeral took place from
the family residence on Thurs
day at Il O'Clock M. The SER
vices were held at the Catholic
Church and the interment was
made in the Protestant Gene
terry.

felt sympathies and the deepest
coincidence to the bereaved fam

GETTING ENTERPRISES IN.
TO A TOWN.

If the City of Opelousas were
to exempt from taxation any cor
poration having a pay roll eX
ceeding one hundred dollars
day there would probably b.
more enterprises trying to ge'
entrance into our city. But as i
8 is now the very citizens of this
8 city never will exert themselves
i to one minutes of worry Or trou'
bic in order to secure something
worth while for Opelousas. The
majority of the people of Opel.
ousas, to their utter shame anc
disgrace, have never entertained
the idea of trying to help out the
community. We Southerners
who tap ourselves on the back
and say that we are the most hos
iptable people on the face of the
globe, do not deserve such prais-
es, not even from our own selves
much less from strangers, if we
do not attempt to accomplish
something which would be Of
some good to our city, as well as
to ourselves. A true patriotic
citizen Of any town should not
be SO selfish as to work in any
manner to keep out of his city
some enterprise which would be
of some benefit to his commun-
ity, but, though we hate to men
ti0n it, there are some mossbacks
right here in our own city, who
would exert all their energies in
keeping away certain corpora
tions or enterprises, which
would better the condition of af-
fairs iii our city.
0pelousas never will be a city
worth mentioning if it's citizens
do not have a certain spirit of
patriotism; this city will forever
remain in the same state of dull
ness, if it's citizens do not deter
mine to improve the state of af-
fairs.
1t is true that Opelousas is a
real nice little city after all, but
is a man, who has the interest of
his community at heart, going to
stop fighting when he sees a
chance of lettering his city,.
Opelousas has all the opportuni-
ties. that a city would wish, to-
grow into a place of prominence
in the state, but it will never be
any larger than it is at present, If
the citizens do not entertain
! certain feeling of pride in the
of the community.
0ne of the best inducements
FOR any corporation would be to
exempt it from taxation for a
United number of years; this
be fair to the city, as well
Is to the various enterprises
would seek admittance in
'ur midst.

to suspend operation on account
of the high water. There is no
water in Port Barre whatever,
but il is on accounts of their lands,
which have been overfiowed re-
Gently; this prevents them from
securing their timber, SO it was
