ton with these big automobile manu-
featuring companies afforded him
an exceptional opportunity to &C.
quire vast amount of practical ex-
perience in repair work, and that
his standing as a mechanlcian is OF
the highest rank is attested by the
fact that since coming south he has
filled positions with the Fairchild
Auto Company of New Orleans and
as member of the faculty of the
Auto School of Instruction in that
city. Mr.. Klingman is a native of
Terrebonne parish, and, like the
senior member of the firm, knows his
business from the ground up and is
qualified to tackle the most diff
cult job with thorough understand
ing and full measure of ability
Anything in the line of automobile
repairing and renovating, including
electrical work, will be handled by
MessTs. Keyes & Klingman with the
positive guarantee that the work
will be done in expert manner and
to the entire satisfaction of the
owner of the machine. It is the

modern facilities will be installed
and careful attention given to all
details of the business.
The Chief takes pleasure in vel
coming Messrs. Keyes & Klingman to
Donaldsonville, and wishes them a
liberal measure of success in their
venture.

Look Out for This Faker.

Ing that Foxy Grandpa" acts as

pair of newly-weds and assists them
IN finding a home and getting their
domestic machinery in motion. The
stranger, who exhibited testimonials
from other towns where he had work
ed his scheme, gave his name as
NJ. j. Farrell, and obtained from us
note to the effect that he had ar
ranged with The Chief to publish his
article. We have not heard from or
seen him since, but learn that he col
1ected 81 from at least one local
merchant for inserting a reference to
the latter's business in the Foxy
Grandpa effusion. AS this merchant,
misunderstanding the purport of the
note from us exhibited By the
smooth talking stranger, invested in
the scheme under the impression that
the man was acting as a solicitor
for this paper, We are presenting him
with advertising space to the amount

Oiled Streets Becoming Popular.

The use of crude OIL On the streets
having been found to be most eff
fective medium for laying the dust,
property owners in number of
squares throughout the city have had
the oil applied to the street in front
of their premises, and in some sec
tons the roadway has been thus
treated for distance Of several
blocks. The work will be done
wherever desired upon application to
Sanitary Inspector Robert Dill, and
the cost is roughly estimated at $40
per block, including the grading of
the street preparatory to the appli-
cation of the oil, and rolling it at
terWard. Where these phases Of the
treatment are omitted the cost is
lower than the figure quoted, but
when the work is done it is best to
do it right, and this will be found
the most economical in the long run.
Besides doing away with the dust
entirely, the oil makes the street
impervious to water to considerable
extent and thus prevents it from
becoming muddy in periods of wet
weather. 1t is the hope of Mayor
.Lemann that every street in the
city may be oiled throughout its en-
tire length, and in view of the dem
onstrated benefits to be derived from
the application of the fluid. at such
small cost, there is no reason why
property owners everywhere should
not decide to have the work done

+ BUBONLC PLAGUE FURRY IN
NEW ORLEANS.

Just TO show that she is in the
swirl with San Francisco, even II the
Panama exposition was captured py
the Pacific coast city, New orleans
this week developed two cases OF
bubonic plague. Both patients were
charity inmates Of the home OF the
Volunteers of America, an offshoot oI
the Salvation Army, located at llo
St. Joseph street, and one OF the I'M
forts,nates. a Swedish sailor, died at
the Charity Hospital. The other IS
doing we'll and seems in fair way
to recover.
Immediate steps were taken by the
local health and municipal authorl-
ties to isolate all who had been ex-
posed to infection, to institute strict
quarantine of the premises where the
disease made it's appearance, and to ex-
terminate the rats within a consider
able radius of the locality. Respon-
sive to request, the federal govern
men. has sent Surgeon General Ru-
pert Blue and Assistant Surgeon R.
H. Creel of the United States Pub
lie Health Service to supervise
the work of stamping out the
infection, and the success of
these experienced plague fighters in
other cities where bubonic outbreaks
have occurred leaves no room to
doubt that they will be equally sue
cessful in New Orleans. The gen
eral assembly of Louisiana has come
to the front with commendable promp-
titude and appropriated a fund to
meet the expense of the campaign
to prevent the spread of the plague,
and the citizens of New Orleans are
showing a disposition to cooperate
vigorously in the fight to free their
city of rats and fleas, which are
the sources of plague Infection and
spread, just as the stegomyia mo-
squito is the carrier of yellow fever
germs.
Outbreaks of bubonic plague have
been readily controlled and sup
pressed in San Francisco, Havana,
Porto Rico and other places, and
It may be relied upon that New Or
leans will soon be added to the list.
