OFFICIAL
AND
JOURNAL OF IBERIA PARISH
TOWN OF NEW IBERIA
PI.AOUEMINE LOCKS.
Washington, May 27.—Letters,
telegrams and resolutions receive«!
here from the Third Louisiana
Congressional District indicate that
the people there have a mis
taken idea regarding the work that
is going on at the head of Bayou
I'laquemiuc on what is known as
the Plaquemine locks. The erron
eous statement recently made bv a
New Orleans newspaper that "the
work on the I'laqneiniue locks may
be discontinued" lias awakened
considerable anxiety. The im
pression is abroad in Louisiana
that the board now investigating
I'laqneiniue locks is tlierc to deter
mine whether or not the impor
t
nut work shall he continued iiikI
hat the board is making its iuves
igation by direction of Congress.
Representative) Broussard of the
listriet said to-day that the board
(insisting of Col. Ames Stickney,
Major Knight and Major Simons,
was not in Louisiana to determine
whether or not the work on the
riaqnemine locks should be aban
doned, and that the gentlemen are
11 Louisiana without the authority,
sanction or knowledge of Con
gress.
For some time differences have
existed between the local engineer
aud the contractors, and these
differences have caused a suspen
sion of the work. The government
wants to complete the work in the
period specified by the contract
rather than doclare the contract
violated when the time limit ex
pires and then proceed against the
contractors. For this reason the
government appointed a commis
sion to investigate the differences
and report whether the contractors
should be put in default now or
whether the contentions of tho
contractors should be acquiesced in
and the department so shape its
course as to prosecute the work.
There never was, aud there is now
no intention to stop tho work. On
the contrary, the object of having
the commission investigate the
work is to expedite it.
Mr. Broussard has received from
the engineers' department the
assurance that the object sought
by the formation of the Board of
Engineers was to prepare, at the
earliest practicable moment, a
method of settlement between the
government and the contractors
regarding claims for work already
done, and equitable rates for work
yet to be done, by which the work
of improvement may be resumed
aud continued to cpmpletion with
out delay. The main difference
relates to the gates and the work
connected therewith.
The contractors contend that in
piliug the dirt in front of the gates
they should merely deposit it in
the manner in which the machine
drops it, the government contend
ing that the dirt ßhonld be packed
in such manner as is usually done
in building levees. The govern
ment also insists on some alter
ation in the gates themselves, the
contractors protest that such alter
ations demand additional expenses.
These two are the most important
differences.
"It is evident," said Mr. Brous
sard, "that the dirt should be
packed, and it is likewise evident
that if there be Mditional expenses
incurred by the contractors, in all
fairness they should be paid for it.
Major Âdams, in insisting on the
alterations, has at heart the best
interests of the government and
the people, and the board, consist
ing of meu eminent in their pro
fession, will no doubt pass upon
the justice of the various conten
tions. That is their duty and their
instruction.
"There will, however, be no
delay about the project. May,
1903, the time fixed for the termi
nation of the contract, will see the
opening of the locks. Every dol
lar requested by the department
has been appropriated, the last
appropriation being in the Fifty
sixth Congress. This is a conti»«
U0U8 project and, even if the funds
run short, Congress would doubt
le8s respond to any reasonable de
mand for additional money to com
plete it. There is no necessity for
oar people to worry over the mat
ter."

The dizziness and faintness from wliirh
women suffer nmy he due to <>ne of
several causes. Itut Hie most common
cause is disease of the delicate womanly
organism. The story of Mrs. Hrown,

example of the conditions under which
so many women work: "1 had a
neadache nearly all the time, was sourak

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.
Tho following is an oxcert from
Ilenry Mayo's splendid paper read
before tho Press Association which
met at Alexandria recently:
I tnke off my hat, Mr. President,
to the country editor and his paper.
I can feel with him and his institu
tion because I have pulled the lever
of a Washington hand press on a
July afternoon, and mailed the
product of tny fertile brain and
vivid imagination to several thou
sand, more or less, admiring con
stituents. There never was a
country newspaper which did not
represent the best energies of its
people. Tue editor is expected to
give his own time arid his best
enterprise to every institution his
town features. He is the master
spirit of every movement which
tends to the commercial aggrand
izement of his territory, and h« is
always a prominent aihl a more or
less conspicuous object at all so
cials, picnics, and ward meetings.
He is constantly looking out for
the benefit of his fellow-citizens
and he gets about as little for the
result of his labors as any man in
the community. Yet, withal, he
smiles in the face of opposition and
cheerfully proclaims to the world
that his paper and his town are two
of tho best products of a kindly
providence.

"Five years ago a diReaso the doctors
called dyspepsia took such hold of me that
I eould scarcoly ro ," writes Geo. S.
Marsh, well-known attorney of Noconn,
Tex. "I took quantities of pepsin and
other medicines but nothing helped me.
As a drowning man grabs at a straw I
grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement
at once and after a few bottles am sound
and well." Kodol is tbe only preparation
which exactly reproduces tho natural di
gestive juices and conséquent ly is tho
only one which digests any good food aud
cures any form of stomach trouble. Jno.

The merchants' excursion, which
passed through, iiero for Texas
points from New Orleans, did not
stop at any point this side of
Crowley. New Iberia felt slighted
because the business hunters from
the Crescent City did not stop
there, and Franklin did not feel it in
any way at all because they did not
haug up hero, even for a while.
In fact we do not care anything
about it. If the gentlemen had
come here, they would have been
royally received aud splendidly
entertained, but siuce they did not,
we are not going to crack our faces
with envy about it. If New Iberia
wanted that traiu to stop, why in
the devil did they not stop it. The
way to do a thing it to do it.—
Franklin Watchman.

GOLD FISH IN THE CISTERNS
Tho timely application of Dr.

years to a time when, as a little

Ohio, to destroy the wiggletail—
the embryo of the pest now so war
reil mi—the mosquito. As the
scheine worked to perfection then,
why not adopt it now by placing
gold fish or minnows of any other
species in the cisterns!
A dozen fish would in a very
short time clean up the larvae iu
Ihe largest cistern.
A little effort and small expense
would insure the destruction of
tins pest, so far as their propaga
tion m the gutters mid ditches is
concerned, if each housewife would
dash a few spoonfuls of kerosene
in tho drain, immediately before
she empties her slop bucket, ming
ling the two liquids as they
journeyed t" the ditch. While
wntiiigon the destructive proper
ties of kerosene on insect life, it
will not seem amiss to give a few
pointers as to its influence on vege
tation. Along the oil pipe lines
from the wells in Pennslyvania
leading through Now Jersey, where
the pipes are anywhere near the
surface, their course is marked by
an entire absence of vegetation, the
fumes or the escaping oil from the
pipes forming Ihe destructive
principle If it could bearrangedto
render one or more of our drainage
canals entirely dry for a few days,
and while dry, empty a generous
supply of crude coal oil among the
liliies, so penetrating and destruc
tive would this fluid bo that neither
lily or mosquito would ever find a
home there.—nV. />. Ingham in N.
O. Picayune.
We should think that the remedy
was as bad as the disease, for with
fish in the cistern it would even
tually become foul from the fish.
The kerosene remedy, is the best
and within reach of all and ought
to be applied generally.

AN EDITOR IN TROUBLE.
One of the most inhuman out

perpetrated on the editor of the

Wednesday night. After he had

stab one foot through the limb of
his obstinate pantaloons, joined
in the cry of fire, Being somewhat
excited he did not tumble, as it
were, until one of the girls played

with a Babcock fire extinguisher.
As he staggered into his room he
could hear the audience outside in
their wild and tumultuous, but he
refused to come before the cur

often do we forget the finer feel

Spring Ailments.
There is an aching and tired feeling;
tho liver, bowels and kidneys become
sluggish an inactive, tho digestion im
paired, with little or no appetite, no am
bition for anything, and a feeling that the
whole body and mind needs toning up.
The trouble is, that during winter, there
has been an accumulation of waste matter
in the system. Herbine will remove it,
secure to the secretions a right exit, and
by its tonic effect, fully restore the wasted
tissues and give strength in place of weak
ness. 50c at Estorge Drug Co.
N. 0. ICE TRUST.
While the people of New Or
leans are paying 30 and 40 cents
per hundred pounds for ice, the ice
trust, so it is charged, is shipping
it to Thibodeaux and selling it for
fifteen cents per hnndred. Not
that the trust desires to favor the
people of that town, but for the
purpose of seeking revenge on the
ico factory of that place, which
dares to "beard the lion in its
den," aud ship ice to New Orleans
for a suffering community. The
Thibodeaux Ice Company declares
that "patience has ceased to be a
virtue," and it proposes to ship
ice to New Orleans as long as it
has a surplus over and above the
amont of home consumption.
The story of the ice trust sending
carloads to Thibodeaux and selling
it for fifteen cents gives the public
an intimation of what it desires to
accomplish in the way of forcing
not only every retail dealer in New
Orleans out of business, but com
pelling every other factory iu this
city, this State and in adjoining
States, to "keep out." The trust
even went so far as to send an
agent to Thibodeaux for the pur
pose of telling the ice people there
that they should stop sending ice
to New Orleans. • • • Oity Item .
BAYOU PLA0UEMINE.
Tho following from the New Or
leans Item shows how the move
ment inaugurated by the Progress
ive League of this town is advanc
ing. Mr. McMahon, the President
roused up the whole country by
telegraph and telephone, urging
the citizens to the course pursued.
It was natural that the (jueen City
of the Teche should take the
initiative, and right nobly have the
towns along the line responded.
Tho Plaquemine locks will be al
lowed to accomplish the object for
which they were intended, addi
tional and competitive transporta
tion for our vast commerce :
Tho citizens of Franklin and
vicinity have petitioned the Leg
islature to niemoralize Congress to
continue the work of opening
Bayou Plaquemine by placing
locks therein. A special board of
United States engineers has been
examining the work which is Hear
ing completion, and on their re
ports hangs the probability of the
continuance or discontinuance of
this mammoth enterprise. There
seems to be a pressure brought to
bear from some source against the,
opening of this waterway and un 1
less a determined move is madt i
to have the work continued the !
board of engineers may advise
otherwise.
Senator Caffery in 1897 obtained j
an appropriation of $1,970,090 for
tbe purpose of connecting Bayou
Plaquemine with the Mississippi
river by locks and to improve the
waterways connecting Grand I,ake
with Bayou Plaquemine. The
contract shortly aftor this appro
priation to construct Co., for about
$800,000. The The work was to
be doue according to plans and
specifications of Major (juinn, the
United States eugineor in charge
of the District of Louisiana. The
work was practically completed in
1899, after which Major Qniun was
transferred to another department
and his place was filled by Major
Adams, and nothing since has been
done to the locks.
It is said that nothing is now
needed to complete tho work except
the hanging of the gates. When
completed it will save tho people
of this section not less than $2,000
000 annually. Such is the esti
mate made by Capt. K. T. King of
New Iberia. This saving would
be in consequence of the better
facilities offered the sugar planters
and farmers, especially during the
grinding season, when it is difficult
to obtain cars to haul cane and
other freights. It is fearod that
the obstruction in the way of com
pleting this important work upon
which the government has already
expended so much money is due to
railroad rivalry. If such is the
case our Representatives in Con
gress should see to it that the
requisite appropriation is made in
the rivers and harbors bill. The
people along the Teche are up in
arms about this Bubject and meet
ings are being had all along the
water courses to urge upon the
Legislature and upon Congress a
completion of the work which has
already involved such an expense
to the government.
Dangerous if Neglected.
Burns, cuts and other wounds often fail
to heal properly if neglected and becomo
troublosome sores. De Witt' s Witch Hazel
Salve prevents such consequences. Even
where delay has aggravated the injury
De Witt's Witch Hatel Salve effects a cure.
"I had a running sore on my leg thirty
years," says H. C. Ilartly, Yankeetown,
Ind. "After using many remedies, I tried
De Witt' s Witoh Hazel Salve. A few boxes
healed the sore." Cures all akin diseases.
Piles yield to it at once. Beware of coun
terfeits. Jno. R. Taylor.
In Vienna every man's home is
his dungeon from 10 p. m. to 6 a.
m. Vienna is a city of flats, and
at 10 p. m. the common entrance
door of each block iB closed and
bolted. Thereafter persons pass
ing in or out must pay a fine of 2d
to the conolerge until midnight,
and 4d from that hour to 6 a. m.
To go out to posta letter costs 2d,
and the same amount to return. To
prolong a visit to a friend after 10
m. means 2d to get out of his
house and 2d more to enter your
own. A natural reBult of this ir
ritating tax is that of all capital
cities Vienna is earliest to bed.

This negro (Barnetl) is not dif

noisily against lynching, buf-uever
denounce tho crime which provokes
lynchings or the men of I heir ruco

minds the only wrong done is iu
the lynching, and, therefore, they
really become defenders of the
