THE CLARION. OPELOUSAS, MARCH 16, 1901. St. Landi7 Clarion Co., Lim., Props. RAYMOND BREAUX, lditor and Inwluele-w llanager. Subscription: $S.oo Per Year In Advance. Entered at the Post-Omce at Opelousas, La.. as second-class matter. Ex-President Harrison died at his home in Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon. Archbishop Chapelle will remain in the Phillippines some time long er to finish important business. Whitecappers in Cherokee county N. C, whipped a "sanctified" preach er and made him leave the town. A crowd last Sunday captured a wild woman who made her home in the swamps near Charleston, S. C. Prince Tuan is reported to have surrounded himself with a strong force, with the intention of defying arrest. Wasn't Teddy's nervousness as the Senate's presiding officer just a sort of "buck ague" at first sight of new game? One of the most disastrous storms in years is raging along the entire coast of Lake Michigan, north of Grand Rapids. The anti-cigarette rule of the A. and M. College, at Starkville, Miss., has eventuated in the entire cadet band leaving school. ' Carnegie has given $5,000,000 as an endowment fund for superan nuated and disabled employes of the Carnegie company. Joan nenuerson, a negru, wau burned at the stake by a mob at Corsicana, Tex., for the murder of Mrs. Younger. He confessed. The trial of the United States man-of-war Alabama proved her thoroughly satisfactory. She made a speed of 15.2 knots per hour. Frank Vaille, director-general of the military posts .in the Philip pines, says that Gen. Otis did not want to capture Aguinaldo, who might pose as a martyr if a pris oner. Dust from the African desert, tran.ported by heavy winds, has caused a dense red cloud to hang over Palermo, Italy, and red rain has fallen. At Rome the sky is yellow, and a rain of sand has fal len at Naples. Senator McLaurin of South Caro lina has angered his constituents by his absence from the Democratic caucuses. There is a demand for his resignation. He justifies his course and says he will go before the next Senatorial primaries. Iti believed that General Harri son's children by his first wife are cut off by his will. At the time of his marriage, to which they ob jected, he turned over his estate to them and started out anew, and new leaves all he has to his second wife and her issue. The estate is conservatively estimated at about $260,000. The storm that passed over North Texas Saturday, in the form of a tornado, went through Northwest Louisiana and Arkansas, doing much 'property damage and caus ing eight deaths in Texas and four in Arkansas. Sunday the storm passed through Kentucky, doing a great deal of damage, also leaving ruins in its -path through Indiana and Michigan. Chicago suffered to the extent of $175,000. Other points west and south report very violent weather. Owensboro, Ky, suffered I severely by a cloudburst, which caused the water main to burst, and the caving in of a street threat ens several fine buildings. The Beaumont oil neonle have made some contracts to deliver oil along the Southern Pacific road on a basis of 67 cents per barrel at the well. This makes Jennings, for instance, pay 60 cents for oil, or nearly 1 cents a gallon. About 176 gallons of oil equal a ton of coal, or $2.60 for the equivalent in oil for what now sells at $4.60 in Jennings. The output of the Bean mont gusher exceeds a thousand gallons an hour, which at 37cents would bring an ineome of $880 a day. This gives the basis for the probable vale of the all .td when fnul l developed--bevO s Ti.t f SBoard of Alderm sen Proceed. sags. Opelousas, La., March 5, 1901.

The Mayor makes his report as fol lows: To the Members of Board of Aldermen: Gentlemen.-Since my last report I have tried 15 cases, 7 of whom paid their ,jes, 7 worked their time on the streets, 1 served her time. on the streets and none were discharged. I would again ask your Board to take some steps towards straightening out the gullies on either side of the town in order to improve the drainage. This can be done much easier now than in the future. Tlib question ofa sewerage system for this town has been informally discussed by the members of your Board. This subject should claim your earnest at tention until the object is accomplished. On December 24,1900, a case of small .pe was discovered in the eastern por. tion of the town. From that date to February 13, 1901, a total of 20 cases oc curred in the town. The Board of Health had these cases removed to the hospital as soon as they were discovered, and isolated and treated there. In every case the infection was from an outside source. The hospital was open for 51 days at a total cost of $150, which amount covers whole expense of the smallpox. The wisdom of our predecessors in es tablishing this hospital is shown by a comparison of the costs, incident in handling contagious diseases. Had we been without a hospital, a close calcula tion shows that the expenses for com batting this disease for fifty days would have amounted to something near $1200. I would earnestly recommend the en actment of a street vagrant law. The material for the extension of the w. w. and e. 1. has been ordered, and a portion already arrived. The second payment on new dynamo was made dur ing the past month. B. A. LITTELL, Mayor. On motion, duly seconded and carried, the report was accepted as read, and or dered spread upon tile minutes.
