say That He Can Be Mum
bered AS A Possible.

Friends of Lawrence j. Lar
cade, the we'll known cashier OF
the Peoples State bank, have
been approaching him TO make
the race for alderman III the sec
ond ward, in the event that the
present incumbent, Mr.. ". Al.
Hays, who is now residing in
Texas, tender his resignation.
Mr.. Larcade, however. would
not commit himself; IN fact it's
said that he vigorously protested,
on the grounds that he was too
much occupied with the intereat
of his bank to meddle in politics.
It has been rumored for several
days that Mr.. L. L. Danel would
be one Of the candidates and In all
probability he will make the race.
Mr.. Larcade's friends have
been prevailing upon him for
over a week to run, but the popu-
lar young man has not made up
his mind. as yet. They are con-
fident that he will finally consent.

week that Messrs. DeJersey &
Naff, successful bidders on the
sidewalk contract, would be ready

over three miles of cement
walks by the first day ii Semp-

and most of it is already on the
way to Opelousas
The contractors expect to fin
ish up their contract in as short
a time as possible, 50 that the
citizens of 0pelousas can make
use of their additional walks.
With three more miles Of side
walks Opelousas will rank among
the leaders in the state. Not

FISHER ADVANCING
WITH BELLEVUE ROAD
Gravel Coming in Regularly
Now and Road to Be Fin
ished In A Few Days.

Mr.. Elijah Fisher, contractor
for the parish gravel roads, is
advancing nicely on the Bellevue
road. During the past week
gravel has been coming in reg
ularly and Mr.. Fisher has hopes
of completing the road to the
Sunset corporate limits within
the next few days.
The parish contractor had
some trouble with the gravel not
coming fast enough. The gravel
people had failed to live up to
their contract of furnishing
enough material to keep Mr..
Fisher and his workers busy con-
tinually. President Dimmiek, OF
the police jury, however, deter
mined that enough Ws enough and
consequently went in person to
Alexandria to shake up the gravel
people at the other end, Now
there is no more trouble anticl-
pated anb within the next couple
of weeks it is expected that the

Pope Plus x, head of all the
Catholics in the world. died at
the Vatican in Rome, Italy, on
Thursday morning. after serious
illness caused by worry over the
war, now raging in Europe. The
Pope had been in bad health for
a number Of years, but the war
which suddenly broke out in
Europe hastened the end.
Throughout the entire illness
Of the beloved head Of the church
best medical attention was given
him with the hope of stimulating
the Pontiff and keeping him alive.
But all was in vain and the pa
tient breathed out his last shortly
after twelve o'clock Thursday
morning.
With a dying breath Pope Puis
said:
Now / begin to think as the
end is approaching that the Al
mighty in His inexhaustible good
ness wishes to spare me the hor-
rors Europe is undergoing.
With the news that the Pope
was dead the whole Of the
Catholic world bowed down in
deepest grief. In Rome many
were seen to break down with
grief on the thoroughfare
whilst The Pontiff's sister was
prostrated with grief.
In nine days the cardinals are
to meet to choose Pope Plus Ks
successor. It is thought, how
ever, tnat it is improbable that
immediate selection will be made,
and indications point to an even
longer deadlock than that which
was followed by the elevation
of the dead Pontiff.

CATTLE DISAPPEARING
WITHIN CITY LIMITS
Cattle Thieves Have Been Operating Near Opelousas
For Several Weeks-Oficers Are On The
Lookout.

Last year Mr.. Babe Anselm.
with the assistance of Assessor
Darius Fontenot and others. sue
ceeded in capturing a gang Of
cattle robbers, who are now serv-
ing a term in the penitentiary.
When Eaglan gang was caught
it was thought that the frequent
disappearance Of cattle would be
diminished, but it seems to be
just the opposite as reports from
various portions of the parish are
thatcattle are constantly missing.
It is to be hoped that the Off
GERS will not have any trouble in
capturing the robbers and these
people will be given the full limit
Of the law.

Over Two Hundred Pupils Are Expected At The
Famous Grand Coteau College At Coming
Session.

session Grand Coteau had one
of the strongest baseball teams
in the state, losing but one game
the entire season an i that
one to Louisiana State, when the
college boys had an off-day and
played very poorly. tits thought
that if st. Charles has a travel
ing baseball and football team q
greater interest will be. taken in
the sports and it will not be long
before their teams will be among
the leaders in Louisiana.
The Grand Coteau college
boasts of having the finest
grounds of any instution in the
state; the climate it ideal and OF
everything goes to make st.
Charles an ideal school.
Improvements to the grounds
and buildings, both for beauty
and comfort, are being made
daily, and within a few years
st. Charles will surpass all Jesuit
Colleges in the South.
It is expected that a number
/ of boys from Opelousas will at
tend college this year; there are
already several from here who
have been enrolled as students,
but Father Grace has been as
sured that this city will
be better represented than ever
before.

st. Charles College will open
it's 1914-15 session on Wednesday
September End. Father Grace,
S. j., presidentof the st. Landry
institution is confident that the
approaching session will be the
best in the history of St. Charles
College. =
There were in the neighbor-
hood of one hundred and fifty
pupils at St. Charles, last season
some of them coming from as
far north as New York, whilst a
majority of the Southern states
were we'll represented.
st. Charles has been opened
since 1909 and since the first day
it has been increasing its number
Of scholars. With a bare hand
full of pupils the college profess,
ors started out to establish one
of the best and most renoWn
Jesuit institutions in the south
and it does appear as though
their efforts have been successful
as Father Grace has assurance OF
enrolling approximately two hun
dred boys.
It is reported that St. Charles
will have a travelling baseball
and football team. In athletics
st. Charles promises to be con-
tended with from now on. Last

The board of parish school di-
rectors have awarded the con-
tract of insuring all the public
schools in st. Landry to the firm
of Larcade & Litton, of this city.
Bids were asked for on insurance
by the school board and it was
found that the one of Larcade &
Litton was the cheapest.
Mr.. Larcade stated during the
week that his firm was endeavor-
ing to have Opelousas rated as a
second class city saying The
companies. which Mr.. Litton and
| | represent, are not in the trust
and they have given us the pow
er to write up insurance in Opel
ousas cheaper than any other in
surance company could do SO. as
they believe with all the improve
ments lately made in this city,
Opelousas should be rated as a
second class city =
When Opelousas will have been
placed in the second class cities
fire insurance will be much cheap
Eer than it is at present. The
Mayor and Board Of Aldermen,
with the assistance of Chief
Brown, of the local fire company,
with all his fellow members,
have been attempting to have
fire insurance rates materially
reduced in this city and it is ex-
pected that with the installment
of a modern fire alarm system
the day is not far distant when
insurance companies will
be compelled to do
business at lower rates than
heretofore.

Landry and Evangeline By
Big Majority.

the voters of st. Landry will
vote for one representative in
Congress, one member on the
railroad commission and q few
members of the parish school
board. Whilst it is not expected
that big vote will be polled it

designating their choice.
The race for railroad commits
sioner is between Shelby Taylor,
). S. Powers, of Iberia, Kelly,
Of Lafayette and Jumell, Of Port
Allen. Taylor has been repre-
senting the second district for
six years, whilst the other candl-
dates are well known throughout
the district. For representative
to Congress, DR.. Ladislas Lazaro
of this parish and Hon. Aladdin
Vincent, of Calcasieu, are the
candidates.
DR.. Lazaro's friends have nc
fear of the final outcome in this
and Evangeline parishes, as the
present congressman, carried
these parishes two years ago,
against Hon. ]. w. Lewis, OF
Opelousas. Mr.. Vincent cam
paigned St. Landry and express
ed confidence that he would get
a few hundred votes. At any
rate Dir. I.azaro will lead in St.
Landry by a handsome majority
and his ardent admirers claim
that it viii be no surprise if he
carries practically every parish
in the district.
For the office Of railroad com
missioner there has not been
much interest taken, by the peo-
pie of Opelousas, most Of the
politicians being divided, but at
the same time keeping quiet on
the subject. The outcome in this
parish for this Office is really IN
known. no one attempting to
pick out the winner.

BABE ANESLM BACK
ON CIIY'S PAYROLL
Night Policeman Fisher Send
In His Resignation and
Anselm Gets Job.


Night policeman Elijah Fisher
sent in his resignation to the
mayor and board of alderman
during the week and on last
Monday night the council ap-
pointed Joseph Anselm to fill
the vacancy on the police force.
Mr.. Fisher was appointed by
the new council and on account
of being awarded the good road
contract by the parish was un-
able to give his time to the city
police force; he consequently
rendered his resignation. In
Mr.. Fisher the city looses a val
liable man, but at the same time
Mr.. Anselm has proven by his
past record that he is able to fill
the bill.
Mr.. Anselm has served a nu-
mber of years on the local police
force and has made a splendid
record. Mr.. Fisher, before ac-
cepting the good roads contracts,
had made a reputation of a fear
less and faithful officer and the
city fathers regretted that he
was compelled to resign.
The new officer was appointed
unanimously and has already
taken his old lob.
