PROBABLE RECEPTION BY
ASSEMBLY is UNCERTAIN.

Just how this proposed measure
will be received in the assembly, is
difficult OF prophecy just now. With
in the last few days it has been gen.
orally understood that a measure
enbodying some of the features
herein set forth, has been under con-
sideration. .....
safety commission bin created a
tremendous fight last year IL may
develop an equally brilliant battle in
the special session of the North Da-
kota legislature.
The Minnesota safety commission
act provided for the establishment OF
a home guard, but no such provision
is included in the present council Of
defense bill.

N~ATERIALFORC CLUSTER
LIGHTS HAS ARRIVED
WORK WILL BEGUN BY CITY IN
VERY FEW DAYS
Part Of II Has Been on Road for
Nearly TWO Months, but Shows
Up at Last

The Clarion was informed Wednes-
day evening that thebalance Of the
material aor the ornamental Sights
which will surround the court house
square had at last arrived. Part of
the needed material for the cor
struction OF the lights was received
some time ago but work was held up
pending the arrival Of the shipment
of iron posts which left the factory
in Indiana some two months ago.
Police Juror Larcade who fathered
and backed the scheme before the
parish lawmakers is naturally pleas
ed that. the work to which he devot-
so much time and attention Is now
on a fair road to completion. Some
time ago he saw the necessity Of hav-
ing the square lighted up and after
mature deliberation introduced the
necessary resolution in the police ju-
ry and managed to get 1t through
with a winning vote. Many Opelou-
a earnestly hope that this is the
first step in the work Of identifying
some of the principal streets in a
similar manne as they argue, these
ornamental lights up Landry street
to the intersection of Main and
thence up the latter thoroughfare to
the Frisco tracks would add much
attraction to the city at night. 9th
er cities in the state Of about the
same size as Opelousas have already
put in these ornamental lights and
the improvement has met with gem
eral approval OF their citizens.

Latter Acts Quick

Our people will recall with sadness
the death, some months ago, of a
promising youth Of this city, Camp

ager of the city electric light and
water plant.
Young Jones was working in New
Orleans and being patriotically in
clined, joined the old Washington
Artillery Of that city and shortly at
ter was mustered in. When his COM
mand went to Camp Beauregard he
was in the ranks with his fellow sol
diers and shortly after his arrival
at the camp he was taken very i'll
and later died in the hospital there.
His funeral here was a sad affair in
deed for 1t was the first real touch
of the war brought home to this city.
Since the young mans untimely
death his lather took the matter up
with Congressman Lazaro and tie
latter brought it before the war e
partment with the result that a gen-
eral court martial of two army Cfec-
tors has been ordered, charging
a neglect OF duty in the case of
young Jones. 1t is stated, in this
connection, it is assured that swift
punishment awaits all army doctors
who are negligent of the health and
we'll being of the soldiers. The or
ders for the court martial follows a
rigid investigation Of the death of
young Jones.
