"They have discovered a new spring
in North Louisiana. In a late issue of

Guess this means the fire water which
comes from Peoria, Illinois, and if it
does, the advi'C. is all right.

At a meeting of the Thibodaux
Carnival Club Tuesday night following
resolutions were passed relative to
the unfortunate affair which recently
occurred in Baton Rouge, in which
Mr. T. Gordon Reddy was seriously
wounded. Mr. Reddy was Rex of
the Carnival held in this town last
spring.
"Whereas, our honorary president,
Mr. T. Gordon Redly, has met with
a great misfortune, and now lies in
Touro lnfilrmary in New Orleans,
seriously wounded; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the Thibodaux
Carnival Club extend to him their
deepest sympathy in his trouble; be
it further
"Resolved, That the individual
members of this club, in addition to
their sympathy, extend to Mr.
Reddy any personal assistance or
service that it may be in their power
to give.

Nothing more contradictory was
ever put into a party platform than
the declarations of the republican plat
form that "We endorse the adminis
tration of William McKinley", and
"'We favor the construction, owner
ship, control and protection of an is
thmian canal by the government of
the U. S." Mr. McKinley's adminis,
tration is responsible for the Hay
Paunet.fote treaty, which, if ratified,
would make the carrying out of that
plank of the p'atform an impossibility.
The platform did not dare endorse by
name the Hanna Payne ship subsidy
job' but merely asks for "legislation
which will enable us to recover our
foi mer place among the trade carry ing
fleets of the world"'. It is certain
that ilanna's subsldy job won't do it.

Says the Daily States:
A Maryland delegate to the
Philadelphia convention was disgusted
at what he saw there. He refers to
one of the means adopted to get up a
little bogus enthusiasm, which was
the introduction of the skin of an
elephant, operated by two men under.
neath, to head the cakewalk in honor
of McKinley's renomination. It was
not a live elephant or even a stuffed
one-nothing but a measly skin of
ttle animal, and the delegate adds,
"thus the only incident of special
naterest which marked the conventi'~o
was one which will afford the Demo
crate a tine opportunity for rid
icule."
Notice is hereby given that the

The Kansas City Convention.
The national Democratic nominat
ing convention met in Kansas City
on July 4th. Much enthusiasm
prevails from the start, and the mere i
mention of Bryan's name is always a
signal for applause.
The convention w's called to order
by Chairman Jones, of the national
committee, and lion. J. D. Richard
son, of Tenn. was made permanent
chairman. Owing to the delay of
the committee on platform in report
ing, the nomination for president
was not made until July 5th, when
William Jennings Bryan was nomi-
nated by acclamation amidst a scene
of wild and unbounded enthu-insm.
The hitch in the committee on
platform turned on the free silver
question; some advocating a simple
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform,
and some insisting on a specific dec
laratiou in favor of free coinage at
16 to 1.
On othtr points there is no differ
ence of opinion worth mentioning.
The platform adopted by the con
vention is a strong one. It makes
Imperialism the paramount issue of
the campaign, denounces trust, and
reaffirms the Chic:ago platform, in
cluding free silver at 16 to 1.
At the time of this writing, no
action has yet been taken by the
convention upon the nomination for
vice-president, and the convention's
choice is still a matter of specu:ation.

Thief Caught.
The Watdhmna, of Franklin, gives
an account of the discovery anti cap
ture of a thief who has been looting
sugar houses in the pariah of St
Mary of their brass and copper coils.
The thief is a white man hailing from
Assumption, who seems to have
borne a good character in the past.
The Watchman claims that the
authorities have sufficient evidence to
send him to the pen.
Sometime ago the SENTINEL warn
ed our planters that such thieves
were at work in the river parishes;
now they are getting nearer home, it
again renews its warnings. Sugar
house owners had better be on the
look out for the light-fingered gentry
in question.

tion, was killed by lightning on Thurs.
day of last week. Miss Houlreaux
was sitting in the kitchen, peeling
potatoes, when 'lightning struck the
building. Her father was in the
kitchen with her, and young lady a
second or so before she was struck
remarked to her father that so much
rain made her believe that the world
was coming to an end. The bolt of
lightning did some damage to the
sides of the house, and ruined a coffee
mill. Strange to say, Mr. Boudreaux
was not injured ,n the least. Miss
B>udreaux's untimely death was
made more sad by the fact that she
was the eldest of the family, and
since her mother's death, three or
four years ago has exercised a mother's
c·are over the younger children. Mr.
Boudreaux during the past few years
has lost his wife and nine children.

The New Police Jury Organised.
The retirmg police jury held its
last session last Monday, transacted
such old business as demanded its
attention, and then turned over the
government of parothial affairs to
the new police jury elected last Aprl.
The new jury is composed as fol.
lows by wards in the order named :
Messis Jules L. Basst, J. Louis An-i
coin, Charles J. U uedry, Hector Mor-l
v nt. Emile U. Morvant, Lovincy
Rodrigue, Alexander Theriot, P. Fe,
lix Falgout, J Lovincy LeBlanc and
Frank P. Parra.
Of these only Messers J. Louis An
coin, Emile U. Morvant and J. Lov
iney LeBlanc were members of the
retiring body.
The members of the new police
jury met on Molday, took the oath
of office and organized by electing
the following officers, viz:
Mr. .J. L. Aucoin, president; Mr.
II. N. Coulon, secretary; Mr. A. J.
Braud, treasurer; Mr. Richmond A.
Frost, sergtant.at-arms.
It will be noted that this is the
s:ame corps of officials which served
in their respective posts the outgoing
jury, anti by re-electing them una
nimously the present police jury
recognized their worth and efficiency
and gave assurance that the business
of the divers offices occupied wi:l be
faitLfully performed and discharged
in the future as it has been in the
past.
The jury has also continued the
SENTINIEL as the official orgau of the
parish. a compliment which is highly
appreciated by the management,
which takes occasion to return its
sincere thanks. On Tuesday the
jury sat as a board of reviewers,
elected Mr. Pierre Breaur, of the
10th ward as oyster commissioner,
and after transacting routine busi.
uess, adjourned to its regular meet
ing in September, when it will elect
.he road inspectors.
Daughters of the Confederacy.
The .lildred Lee Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, of this
place, recently elected the following
officers for the ensuing year, viz:
President. Miss Mamie Walsh;
first vice president, Mrs. J. it. Jean.
murlt; second, Mrs. Emanuel Chol;
third. Mrs. E. P. Lefort; fourth, Mrs.
J. T. Thibodeaux; corresponding sec.
retary, Mrs. T. D. Kent; recording
secretary, Miss Ella Beauvais; treass
urer, Miss Anuette Coulon.
On to Crowley.
Board to morrow's excursion for
Crowley, if you want to enjoy a day's
outing. Much fun promised.
Bank Statement.
We publish elsewhere the sworn
statement, of the Bank of Thibodaux.
showing the condition of its Iusiness
on June 29, 1900, to which we direct
attention. We consider the showing
a good one for the season. The
bank has been doing a conservative
business from its organization, and
lie continued confidence of the stock
holders in its direvctors and officers is
a fltting testimonial to the competen.
cy, efficiency and fidelity of these
trusted officials.
The statement referred to does not
contain a past due loan or discount,
nor a doubtful asset. The surplus
which was $8,500 on June 29th, has
since been increased $3,500.
Unveiling of the Monument to La
fayette.
An interesting ceremony which
took place in Parts on the fourth of
July, was that of the unveiling of
the monument to Lafayette, the trin
bute of American school children to
the distinguished French soldier and
patriot who fought by the side of
Washington for our liberty ani inde.
pendeuce.
The imposing ceremonies were
graced by high dignitaries, l'resident
Loubet, Ambassador Porter, Com
missioner Peck and Archbishop Ire
land being among those who took
part in them. All of these spoke on
the occasion, Archbishop Ireland
delivering a lengthy address in
French which was frequently inter
rupted by applause.
Congressional Convention Called.
Pursuant to call the Democratic
Congressional Executive Committee.
of whnch the tion. Walter GOnion,
Attorney General, is chairman, met
here last Salurlay, to determine the
time and place of holding the con
gressinal conuvention. There was a
good attenclance, every parish in the
district being represented.
As will be seen by the proceedings
published in this issue, the nomins
ting conventinm was called for Sep.
teember 24, 1900, to meet in the town
of Lafa:,yette. That will aford ample
time to make the campaigo this fall,
as the district is in pretty good shape.
Up to date there is no opposition to
the Hon. FIt. Broussard for renom.
Siuation, and there is not likely to be.
A Series of Disasters.
The last few days brought us news
of disasters more or less appalling
from various parts of the United
States.
First on the list comes the great
fire at Hoboken, N. J., with the ap.
palling loss of life exceeding 300
and a loss of property reaching
$10,000,000. A car jumped the
track on a high bridge, at Tacoma,
Wn.. on July 4th, and plunged down
into a ravine nearly one hundred (aet
deep; thirty-five persons were killed
out right and sixty five were badly
injured.
On the same day, at Parkersburg,
W. Va., an oil tank exploded and
killed six persons and badly injured
many others.
In Phi:adelphia, again on the 4th,
while numbers of children were con
gregated around a street stand where
fieworks were being sold, a negro,
boy tired a pistol shot into a lot of
the stock containing dynamite, with
the result that seven children were
instantly killed, several more being
so badly hurt that they are expected
to die, while twenty or thirty were
seriously injured.
The Celebration of the Fourth.
The glorious fourth of July was
celebrated here this year with splen
dor and enthusiasm, as it has never
been celebrated bince the civil war.
Grand preparations had been made
for the occasion by the Carnival Club,
under whose auspices the celebration
took place.
The rain somewhat Interfered with
the festivities and rendered locomo.
lion about the premises, the spacious
college grounds, disagreeable, but the
immense crowd took it good natured.
ly. and enjoyed the fun.
The canon boomed in the morning
and thronghout the day, announcing
the celebration and attracting a large
crowd. The festivities began in the
afternoon, and wound up at night by
a splendid address by the Hon. Jared
Y. Sanders, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and a grand display
of fire work, such as had never be.
fore been witnessed hereabouts.
Mr. Sanders, the orator of the day,
was introduced by the Hon. Andrew
Price in his usual felicitous style,
and delivered a forceful address
which was highly appreciated by the
audience.
The Chinese Situation Wost grave.
The news from Chins shows the
situation to be most grave and hourly
growing worse. The report of July
4, via London says: "Not a single
foreigner is now alive in Peking."
This startling report is said to have
come through Chinese sources from
Shai,ghai.
If this be true, the hour of retribu
tlon will soon arrive, and a general war
against the Chinese may soon rage.
What the result will be, it is difficult
to foretell. America will most
likely be drawn into it.
