TH ST. RY CLARION "Here Shall The Press The People's Rights IMtlntain, Unawed by Influene and Unbribedby Cain." VOL. 52. OPELOUSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1903. $1 OPELOVSAS Dick" says he "seeking 'ligion," but rather havd gin.

-Look out for "Tony" Moore's double-front and back-action dray, which hauls anything from a stageplank to a steamboat, all for "a song." See him for quick work. --Banehard and Jastromski's campaign clubs are being organised in Opolousas. The lists were circulated this week, and the organizations will be perfected in a few days. -Mr. Wade Higginbotham is announced for Constable of the 6th ward.

We know Wade personally, and we ean assure the people of the sixth Justice's ward that he isa brave, honest, conscientious man. He is a Democrat all over, and a White aupremacist every lack of him. -Attention is directed to the announcement of Mr. Walter Guidry as a candidate for Constable for the fifth ward. Mr.

Guidry is a prominent young man of the Coulee ()oche section of the parish; a straight-out Democrat, san in every respect competent to fill the offce which he seeks. -The announcement of Mr. J. E. Allen for the office of Marshal of Opeloause, appears in this issue of the Clarion.

Mr. Allen would sake a splendid officer. Physicalla he can cope with the tougheat offender against the laws of the town; he is sober and discreet. His candidacy will doubtless evoke a strong following. -We are pleased to direct the attention of oar readers to a poetic contribution in this week's Clarion ferm the gifted penTof Miss Virginia at.

Cyr, who is a graduate of oar High School and had the honor of capturing the first Clarion medal for Geometry from that institution. The reading of it will doubtless highly interest you. of Masters MBoderunMler and Mornhinveg, for the La. State University, we failed to note also that our bright young friend, Mr. Leo Lassalle, had alsoentered that splendid institution.

Well, all we lhave to say is, that If he doesn't unlr. bhis mark, he is not a chip off of the old block. the proper will be haed the announcement of Mr. and Lanclos, for tie office of Jetime of the Peace for the sixth wa-d. Mr.

I.anclos is a membur af oe of the foremost faml.les of that section of the parish, and he will doubtless make a strong race among the people who him. Grand Jury met last Mon4-y, and has been hard at work ever slaie. We learn that there ar over a hundred cases to be tried by that august body, and it is proboble that the session will be ntlaenued for two or three rweeks. Among the number are several murder cases, in which gast Interest is being manifested. last week's Issue we mentioned that Mr.

Adraste Lafleur, who is atmdidate for Police Juror for the seventh ward, was "a prominent merchsat of that of the perish." While the tetatement is correct, yet we forgot to say he is also an extensive plan. -tsee8ia fact, he was raised on a farm, and hbe more proud of his agrlcultural than his mercantile pursuit. --Sidney Trainor Desmarais, the even-year'old boy of Mr. sad Mrs. Louis Desmarais died Sunday meoring, and was buried Monday m-oraiag at 11 o'clock.

The little follow was sick but a short while, ascsnmbing to an attack of mem.wheoscroep. Sidney was a bright Ut1e fellow, dearly loved by all wbo knew him, and the idol of his gsgents. The Claioa deeply sympgthIss with the bereaved ftml. muanielpl eampaign is boat to open up. Mr.

J.E. Allen himself as a canlddate arshalt, while Chief C. L. 5e.s proclaims himself In the ee to We presume ChairSi. N.

Editor CIRaION On the 27th inst, it was the writer's pleasure to witness a very enjoyable affair on the premises of 7 our well known parishoner, Mr. Fremont Fusilier, about three I miles south of Ville Platte.

The entertainment consisted in first a Base Ball game between Mallet and Faubourg, in which the for- mer won. It was a splendid game, I i and was played throughout with I spirit and good will. A good dinner, consisting of barbecued mutton, beef and everything else that was good. i Fremont was master of ceremoiiiesi lbked like a veanerable Filipino chief, on old Ball, and if one could jaudge trom the 4 way he rode and by the immense sword he wore, the impression formed would have been that he did not care whether the reins broke or not. Messrs.

Numa Fon- tenot and Hon. H. E. Estorge were his assistants, and aided him In in the field as fine a bunch of riders as ever straddled a horse, Teddy Roosevelt to the con- trary notwithstanding. A notable feature of the Tournament was the splendid horses and the excellentli manner in which they were han- 4 died.

The time made was fast, and the number of rings taken by some showed wonderful nerve, judgment and keen eyesight. The Knights and their respect-. lyve score are as follows Adraste No. I-1S rings J.E.Tate.......... 2-11 Theophile Fontenot 3-14 Willie 4-11 Eraste 5 Euzebe 6-- Jules 7- 9 Euzebe 8- 8 Jean 9-7 nuzebe 10- 8 Marius 11--3 Octave 12- 5 Oscar 13- 9 Elina 14- 9 Felix 16-- 9 fr Willie 16- 6 fo Mr.

Theophile Fontenot took first prize, having taken 14 rings ontof the 15, and it is believed would have taken the 15th, but his horse fell just before reaching the last one. da Adraste Lafleur, had trained another horse, but had to ride an- tr other as the first was slck. He did excellent riding and took second pr.e. Much credit is due the maname. meat for the able manner in which the programme was carried out and the gentlemanly decorum which prevailed during the entire day's proceedings.

A brass band was on hand to discourse sweet music. After the day's sport, the vast throng departed, some for their respective homes in Opelousas, Washington, Ville Platte, Grand Prairie, Plaisance and other places, whilst others attended the ball at night at the commodious hall in Ville Platte. There were about five hundred people present, and the beautiful Creole girls present made your humble scribe feel as if he would like to find the fountain of youth, but, alas I that can't be done, and he will Just have to grin and bear it. Here's to VIlle Platte and vicinity, with its aggregation of fine horses, good natured men and incomparable women. Yours, SUNsrT.

-Dr. 2. T. Young announces himself as a candidate for the ofice of Coroner of St. Landry parish In this issue.

'Tho' the last to announce himself, among the four now running, we'll wager something that he will not be the last when the votes are counted. Dr. Young is one of the old "Stone. walls" in the Democratie breastworks of the parish. He has not only always been a faithful warrior in the ranks, but he has served his country with ability in the Legislative halls of both the 8tate and parish.

He is a thorough gentleman, a good citiean, a sturdy Democrat and an experienced ph). ieiasn, Besides this, he belongs to oneof the oldest, st and most upright families in 8k Leadry, whose honosd parents, had from his e.riy childhood, Jastilled into his bright and vigorous mind all of the shbining virtues whieh they possessed, and which have so far rsignally and sacceessluly geaued him through the eb.s*ai scenes of life to the relimattoa m.f his highest And best aspifations; hence, we have avery reason to beoat the tgh tropeabsp t. Ue ioy -As will be seen by his announcement in this issue, John M. Oge, the sycamore from Grand Cc. teau, is willing to go, by making a score at the next election, bs a representative from St.

Landry to the lower house of next legislature, provided his many friends among the voters of yore do not make untold and serious objection. If they do this at the outset, honest John will not say a word but retire to "the solitude of his own originality," while thebalance of the world will be none the more wise as to his many good reasons for doing so. If they don't, he will be apt to be seen on hustings with -whip in hand, behind that laureate team of his, till the day before the election, when all St. Landry's sainted sons will appear at April's resurrection. But, laying all Jokes aside, John is a good fellow, and admirably capacitated for the position of his choice, as is evidenced by the fact of his being a graduate of the far-famed St.

Charles College, located at Grand Coteau, under the management of the Jesuit Fathers, from which institution so many brilliant sons of Louisiana have gone oat to add to the glory of its good nams. Interview him on almost any subject, and he wil be sure to talk to you about it as he would, if elected, be ready and willing to lustily meet any subject brought before the State A Card. To TaS OF OPELOUSAS It has been in town that I would not be a candidate for Town Marshal. The report is not true. The party, or parties, starting it, did so without.
