T hief C aptured .—On last Sunday
ayoung Italian named AlUito Averti who
was in Dr. Boagni's employ, :;t liir
Sacket store, left for his native country,
but did not forget to provide liimsell
with all the cash in the Doctoi'sdrawer,
some $350. to pay expenses. Sheriff
Du son was informed of the fact on
Wednesday evening. He immediately
telegraphed to the Sheriffs of the ad
joining parishes, and to Mr. V. Meynaud
at the Alernientau ferry, to ascertain if
the thief had crossed the Mermeiitau
river. Mr. Meynaud promptly tele
graplied to the Sheriff that a man an
swering the description had just passed
ou his way to Lake Charles. Sheriff
Reid was notified, and ou Thursday
morning when Alberti arrived in Lake
Charles he was ariested and the money
recovered.
Deputy Sheriff Hayes left here Friday
morning and will meet Sheriff Heid at
the parish line and will receive the
prisoner. This is quick and good work.

Laurent Dupre, » was next intro

young member of the bar was ready in
Iiis usual eloquent style, to deliver otic

es, that made the heart of each listen
ing Democrat feel proud of the old
party name and its associations. Loud
iiid long was tlit> applause which
riveted his beginning and close.
Hon. E. D. Estilletfe, was next pre
sented to the audience. His name, as it
vas called, was greeted with cheers,
.ivery word was listened to with
•narked attention, and often during
lis speech cries of tl>ose who but im
,ierfi ctly understood E iglisli, was heard
îskiiig him to repeat in French, which
vas done. His remitks shotting tli

pecially to the colored people, of which
there were quite a numberpresent. His
speech from beginning to end was a
plain unvarnished statement of the
political situation past and present.
He handle«) Radicalism, and its fruits
without gloves. His picture of the

receiving but a small percentage of the
