TWO MORE PROGRESSIVE CAN
DIDATES.

Immediately following the close OF
the strenuous Progressive congress.
sional nominating convention at New
Iberia last Sunday morning, in the
wee sma' hours between 2 O'Clock
and daylight, two other district con
yentions were held in rapid success
sion in the same hail.
The first of these additional bodies
nominated Overton Cade of Lafayette
Dy reclamation to make the fight for
railroad commissioner against Com
missioner Shelby Taylor of Acadia,
who has been renominated as the
Democratic candidate
The second extra convention NOM
mated M. J. Olivier of st. Martin for
member of the state board of equal
lzation over Rom. P. Leblanc of Yer
million by a vote of 68 to so. The
friends Of Mr.. Leblanc had been
very confident of his success, but
an unexpected swapping Of votes said
to have been agreed on when the St.
Martin candidate for congressman
withdrew and subsequently threw
most of his strength to the Lafourche
aspirant, changed the slate and gave
the equalization candidacy to Mr..
Olivier.
Walter A. O'Niell Of st. Mary was
chairman of both these conventions
and Cleft Girard of Lafayette was
secretary.

and at midnight he left on a spe

heart of the third congressional dis
trict which proved, if possible, even

Beginning with an after-breakfast
speech at Franklin, where an en-
thusiastic mass meeting was pre-
sided over by Sheriff Wilson T.
| Peterman, one of the unsuccessful
candidates for the Progressive con-
gressional nomination, Col. Roose-

other meeting was held and brief
speech made. Then the party pro-
ceeded to New Iberia, being in
tercepted two miles outside the city
| by cavalcade of 200 horsemen,
headed by Mayor Alph Fontelieu,
who invited Col Roosevelt and his
companions to mount horses pro-
vided for them and join the troop
| Of Roosevelt Rough Riders" The
invitation was accepted with al
acrity, and the cavalcade made an
| imposing entrance into New Iberia,
| where perhaps the largest mass meet
ing ever held in that place was ad-
dressed by Col Roosevelt with great
effect. He closed hiss speech with a
few sentences in French that sur
prised and delighted his hearers. The
chairman of the meeting was E. S..

Robert F. Broussard and another of
the unsuccessful aspirants for the

in assuring their support to their
victorious competitor for this nomi-

of principle above the desire for Of

The Roosevelt car was attached to
a regular Southern Pacific train at
New Iberia and returned to New Or
leans, making perhaps twenty stops
on the way, and at each one of these
places Col Roosevelt spoke to and
shook hands with crowds of people
who assembled to see and greet
him. Congressional nominee Martin
shared the shonors of the day with
the distinguished visitor and re-
ceived many pledges of friendship
and support from the voters of the
third district.
Col. Roosevelt left for the return
trip to New York by an evening
Louisville and Nashville train Tues
day, thoroughly pleased with his ex-
periences in Louisiana and convinced
that the Progressive party in this
state is surely going, and promising
and hopeful concern

a CoIored FAIR

A fair for the colored people Of
this and surrounding parishes is
one of the educational and instruct
i've events contemplated for this
city in the early future. Committees
are at work soliciting funds in the
shape Of subscriptions to shares OF
stock in the fair. The fair is to
be held at Annual Park, in Donald
sonVille, following the South Louisl-
ana Fair, which is scheduled for
Oct. 8. 10, II and u. An effort is
being made to interest all of the
fraternal societies of this and sur
rounding parishes in the fair, with
a view of assuring large attend
ance in advance. The fair will be
the first one of the kind ever CIV
en- here and for that reason will
prove somewhat of a novelty. 1t
will afford an opportunity to the
colored people of placing on ex-
hibition the products of their eff
forts in all lines of industry for
the examination and inspection of
others of their race, and will no
doubt prove of great educational
benefit to the race. :. The project is
being promoted by Robt. Stewart,
the local race horse trainer,
and others. The Chief in common
with tie white people of this COM
munity expresses the hope that the
fair will prove a success.

Murder or Accidental Death?

Joseph Smith, a negro residing in
the interior country back of Burn
side, has been arrested by Sheriff
a suspect in connection with the
mysterious death of Wyatt Mosely, an
old negro about rs years of age,
whose body was found in well on
F.! his premises some miles back OF
the river, on the Miles estate at
Burnside. The carcass of Mosely's
faithful yard dog was also found in
! the well with that of it's master,
both being in an advanced state of
decomposition and showing evidence
Of having been dead for at least ten
days.
Mosely was a U. S. pensioner, hay
ing served in the federal army dur
ing the civil war, and lived in an iso-
lated cabin situated in the rear of
one of the Miles Company's planta-
tions, with his mongrel dog. He
| would draw his pension every quar-
ter and provide himself with a good
ly supply of low grade Whiskey to
comfort him during the interim until
his next pension check should ar
rive from the Golfers at Washington.
On the day he was last seen, he
had laid in supply Of the joy-giVing
beverage, besides taking on as much
as he could carry in the inner man,
and wendell his way back to his hut
with some $25 of cash in his clothes,
and a gallon jug of corn juice sus-
pended from the end of a stick Which
he carried over his shoulder. His
body, together with that of his dog,
was discovered in the well about
ten days or two weeks after he had
last been SEEN The coroner made
very rigid examination of both the
old darkey and the dog, and could
find no marks of violence on the
body of either that might suggest a
cleW as to how they had come to their
deaths. The negro was even scalped,
in the hope of finding an abrasion
on the skull that might throw some
light on the subject, but nothing was
discovered. The hat and under
clothes were on the body when it was
found, and the shoes and trousers
were fished out OF the well later
The sheriff found the jug, which con-
tanned very little Of the supply of
Whiskey, but no trace of the money
could be discovered. The well is
about IA feet deep, and the surface
Of the water was about feet from
the ground level. When found, the
body was in an upright position with
the head damned in one corner of
the frame of the we'll
The mystery which confronts the
sheriff is: Did the old negro fall
in the well while in drunken
stupor, Or was he thrown in, and how
did the dog come to his death?

Smoke Bend Fair a Success,

The grand fair given at Smoke

the benefit of st. Francis of Assisiun

most gratifying success, both il
point of attendance and financial re
ceipts. The gross returns amounted
to s740.33, with expenses of $235.2S
leaving a net balance Of s505.05. Con
sidering the fact that two fairs were
given here recently, and that dull
times prevail generally, the result Of
the Smoke Bend fair was most flat
terlng to those in charge. The fail
was under the management of Henry
Dugas, the enterprising and progress

and member of the school board, to
whom much credit is due for the sue.
