BETTING IN RECENT
ELECTION WAS HEAVY
Several Hundred Dollars
Changed Hands Over
Mayoralty Fight.

It was learned during the week
that several hundred dollars
changed hands last week, due to
the various bets made on the
candidates for Mayor in the last
municipal fight. Some estimate
the amount of money won by
the Loeb adherents at any where
between fourteen hundred to two
thousand dollars, W hill $ I
some say that it even surpassed
that amount.
Never before was there SO
much money bet on a municipal
election in this city. Both fac
tions were SO confident that
their candidates would win out
that the betters did not hesitate
to cover any amount of betting
money,
One or two individuals lost
heavily, W hist one or two
Of those betting or Loeb won q
handsome sum.

There Is Sun Behind The.
Clouds.

We all have days Of dis
couragement and moments when
we would be glad to run away
from our troubles and RESPONSE
bilities. In these times Of dis
couragement. when we feel that
we amount to but little and
doubt whether, after all, life is
worth while, there is always
danger Of playing the coward:
of doing something that we
shall be ashamed Of later. It is
better never to take an important
step or make radical change when
discouraged. When everything
seems dark ahead and you cam
not see another step, then say to
yourself: It is up to me now
to play the part Of a man or
woman, " grit your teeth and
push on, knowing that the gloomy
condition will pass; that no mat
ter how black or threatening the
clouds, there is sun behind them
which will ultimately burst
| through. You will be surprised
to find what power and courage
| are developed by this holding on
las best you can. After becon-
| ing better acquainted with the
mighty reserve which is in you,
! you will learn that you can de-
pend upon it; that it will come to
your rescue in your hour OF need.

For the first time in many
years, that is since 1899, the
parish of st. Landry was wrap
ped up by four inches of snow,
when the forty thousand souls
living in the old parish awoke
early Wednesday morning and
were surprised to see the ground
covered with snow.
The cold wave struck Opelou-
sas and vicinity on Monday even
ing. Tuesday was much colder
than Monday, the thermometer
falling as low as 20 degrees.
This cold wave was Immediately
followed by sleet, which lasted
until about twelve o'clock that
night. Early Wednesday morn
ing the snow flakes began fall
ing and it was not long before
four inches of snow had clothed
st. Landry parish and a greater
portion of Southwest Louisiana.
It can be imagined how the
children, as well as the older
persons enjoyed the snow. Many
of the young generation had
never seen snow, but it did not
take them long to learn how to
manipulate snoWballs. In every
direction, whenever one would
be seen coming down the streets,
snowballs would be thrown at
him. The courthouse square was
the scene Of the greater portion
of the gayety. Scores of young
girls and young men gathered
there early Wednesday morning
and as lawyers, laborers and
parish officials would pass them
each would be given his roll in
the snow, besides being bonn
barded with hundreds Of balls.
Old and young alike enjoyed
the snow, business was practic-
ally suspended all Wednesday
morning and nearly everyone in
town joined in with the younger
ones and helped the fun on.

WHY We Are LATE.
Wood Man Fails to Show Up
Foreman Is Snowballed---
Miss Breaux Has Fun.

Whenever a weekly paper is
late there is generally one Of two
reasons, those being the engine
went back on the foreman or the
police jury rushed little too
much legal on the compositors.
This time however it was neither
one of these two, nor was it on
account of a tango lame leg, or an
elopement.
The wood man, who had prom
ised to be on hand early Monday
morning did not show up until
late Wednesday evening. The
foreman was caught in front of
the courthouse square by a horde
of SNOWFALL soldiers and did not
reach the Office until late. One

JUDGE LEWIS BACK
IN old ST. LANDRY
The Former District Judge
Returns To Opelousas To
Practise His Profession.

Judge E. T. Lewis. aged
brother of the late Thomas Il.
Lewis and uncle of Hon. John
w. Lewis, one of the most prom
inent young lawyers Of this city,
has returned to Opelousas to
practice law. Judge Lewis had
been a resident of Jennings, in
Jeff Davis parish, since Calcasleu
was divided.
The many friends of the vene-
rable old lawyer are glad to have
him here once more.
Before st. Landry was divided
Judge Lewis served on the bench
for several years and was a
powerful factor in the political
world of this parish. He served
two terms as Congressman from
this district.
Judge Lewis did not inform
the reporter Of the Clarion
where he will practise, but it is
expected that within the next
few days he will have decided
where to locate his Office.

SNOW COVERS PARISH
FIRST TIME IN1YEARS
Very Little Damage Done to Gardens and Fruit
Trees by Four Inch Snow Fall---Forerunner
of Big Crop.

The High School gave a holiday
to the five hundred pupils and
these children did have their
fun, as could easily be noticed
by only standing around the
courthouse or the business sec
ton of the city.
The snow Of 1899 was the
heaviest snow since 1896, and
but few of the young men and
young ladies of Opelousas re-
member those days. consequent
" the snow of Wednesday was
so much more appreciated.
It is reported that the snow
did net damage the gardens and
fruit trees to any extent. On
the contrary it is estimated that
the snow is a forerunner Of a
big crop and the farmers are
wearing a smile with fond hopes
of having their dream of d
bumper crop realized. The
snow, it is said, is a good fertil-
izer and at the same time de-
stroys practically all Of the in
sects injurious to the crops. If
that is the case the people Of st.
Landry should welcome a snow
each year.
Happily though no one was
injured during the snow fights.
as is often the case in other
places. Chief Of Police Hayes
had given orders to the young
boys and girls not to throw
snow balls at negroes. conse-=
quently there was NO trouble at
all.
In nearly every parish south
of st. Landry snow fell heavily
Wednesday morning. In st.
Martinyille it is said that the
ground was covered with six
inches, which was two more
than Opelousas. New Orleans
also got a touch Of the snow
storm, but it arrived just ii time
to allow Rex an opportunity to.
retreat into his capital.

Miss Sandoz Was Hostess
On Mardi Gras Night.

Miss Hilda Sandoz was hostess
at a party given at her pretty
home on South Main street.
Masks were not worn not be-
ing needed in some cases re-
ferring to the boys, of course
for the girls knew well that
their pretty faces would far
more impress the lads than any
mask that they could buy.
Several games of Lotto were
played, handsome prizes being
awarded the winners. Delicious
sandwiches, punch. cake, fudge
and other kinds OF candies were
served. Twelve bells told il
was time to go home, and home
they went ID the cold and the
snow. "

GOOD ROADS DAY TO
BE CELEBRATED HERE
1t Is Proposed that An Automobile Parade Be Held
First Sunday After Paved
Streets Are Completed.

dry and Evangeline will be re-
quested to be here to make that
day great success.
A committee will be appointed
within the next few days to
make all necessary arrangements
for the occasion and it is expect
ed that no stone will be left un-
turned in order to make the pa
rade a grand success.
If the people of Opelousas, st.
Landry and Evangeline will turn
out for the occasion. as ID earn
estly believed they will. it will
be a sign that these people are
anxious to have good roads.
This will be the time to organize
a good roads club, and it is
thought that this viii be done,
as there is no good roads associa-
tion in St. Landry parish.
It will probably be four or
five, perhaps six weeks, before
the creosoted wood block pave
ment will be completed. But as
soon as the time Of completion
will be ascertained a day will be
set off for this parade.
Opelousas will have practically
three miles of paved streets and
it is proposed that the parade
pass over every inch of pave
ment in the city.
When the day is set for the
parade an attempt will be made
to reach all the people interested
in good roads in the parish, as
well as those who are not ad-
herents of this cause.

v. D. LEWIS SHOT To
DEATH BY JOHNSTON
Mardi Gras Ball Near st.
Landry the Scene of
Killing.

William D. Lewis, popularity
called Bill" by his friends, was
shot and killed on last Tuesday
night near 81. Landry, in Evan
geline parish. It is reported
here that a member of a well
known Evangeline family, by
the name of John Johnston, did
the shooting which caused the
death Of a former Opelousas
man.
Mr.. Lewis was born and
raised in Opelousas, but left
here sometime last year to open
up a saloon near Oakdale, in
Evangeline parish. After the
parish was voted dry he did not
return to Opelousas. He was SO
years old and leaves a wife and
two children.
It is reported that Mr.. Lewis
had gone to attend a Mardi Gras
Ball at Johnston's home, where
the two men began to quarrel,
after which Mr.. Lewis fired.
There were several shots heard
81
and when the smoke blew away
Mr.. Lewis was found in a dying
state. just exactly how the
trouble started could not be
learned, as there were several
versions of the affray given in
Opelousos.
Mr.. Lewis was brought to
Opelousas on Thursday morning
and was buried in the Protes-
tant cemetery, where a large
concourse of the deceased
assembled to pay their last trib-
ute to former Opelousas resi-

It IS proposed by several au-
totnobile owners in this city that
a mammoth parade be held on
the first Sunday after the paving
in Opelousas will be completed.
n the next few days arrange
ments will be perfected to make
this one Of the greatest events in
the annals of the city.
The purpose of holding this
parade is to display a certain
patriotic spirit and pride in the
municipal improvements of Ope-
lousas. It is planned that over
two hundred automobiles will
ride around the paved streets on
the occasion.
There are two reasons for hav.
ing this parade. according to
prominent automobile owners of
Opelousas; the first is to show
that the people Of this city are
happy over the action of the
Mayor and Board of Aldermen
and the property owners in hav-
ing these streets paved. whilst
the second is for the purpose of
boosting Good Roads,"
An attempt will be made to
have every automobile in st.
Landry and Evangeline parishes
in Opelousas for the occasion, as
well as many as can be secured
from the adjoining parishes.
Invitations will no doubt be sent
to the automobile owners in Aca-
dia, ST. Martin and Lafayette
parishes, whilst those in st. Ian.
