We can't be beat on anything on wheels-a good gig for $15 and buggies, phaetons, etc., at corresponding low prices at J. B. Sandoz. There will be divine services at the Episcopal Church, Opelonsas, by Rev. D. C. Mack : Sunday, the 17th, at 4 o'clock p. mn.; Sunday, the 24th, at 11 o'clock a. m. Notwithstanding the session of the .District Court this week, our town has been somewhat dull. Many country people are in town, but business does not appear to be particularly brisk, ex- cept for the lunch and lodging houses. The attention of all having saddle or har.nss work to be done or repaired is diredted to the card of Mr. O. Guidry in another column. His shop is now on Main street, near the store of Mr. .1. K. Sandoz. Give him a call. Our venerable friend, Mr. B. Martel, and his son Sully and their families left last week to resume their residence in the parish of St. Mary. Many friends regret their departure and hope that they may soon come back among us. The constant rush at J. K. Sandoz's for bargains is a sufficient indication of the location of the Cheap Cash Store of Opeloneas. Just think-boys' suits at $1.25, men's suits at $4, men's and boys' shoes at 75 cents, best hand-turned la- dies' shoes at $2.75, and so on. Lake Charles will have a national bank in a few days, with a capital of $50,000. The little town of Homer, La., has subscribed $75,000 for a simi- lar institution and has already elected its board of directors, president and cashier. Now, it is Opelousas~ turn next! Best full width flannel at 30 cents per yard, at J. K. Sandos's. Gents' furnish- Sin goods at 20 per cent below usual pces. The grocery department is not neglected, and everything is sold at roebottom prices. Too busy to give further prices on goods, but a call will convince any one that we sell cheap. -The dramatic entertainment, supper and ball given on Wednesday night at Perrodin's Hall for the benefit of the Episcopal Church, though not very nu- merously attended, was nevertheless a very enjoyable and auccessful affair, A snug little sum was realized,,above ex- . pess, which will go to swell the build- "lg fond of the pretty church now in contae of erection. Mr. Gus. E. Dupr6 having bought ot the livery and feed stable of Mr. Megluney will devote his personal at- tenmton to the busi n toure and can guarantee goodl- t and the best of ervie to his patrons. He has eeuard the services of a good corps of bQtlera, drivers, etc., and is making mp~ortant additions to his already fins , auit of horses, bmggies, ltacks, &c., sad the traveliog public may rely on Sgetting ull value for their their money, and artes placing their horses in his •la•rge may be sare they will receive tb.et of care and attention.

Since our last report the Grand Jury have reported "a true bill" in the fol- lowing cases: Laurena Donato, assault with a dan- gerous weapon. Jos. V. Simeon, violating Act 31. Gerrasin Mecho et als., burglary. Alcide Vidrine, murder. Jos. Z. Fruge, larceny. Jos. Fruge, larceny, two bills. Leon Courville, assault with a dan- gerous weapon. Joseph Lee, manslaughter. Onezime J. Fontenot, manslaughter. Gerrasin Meche et als., shooting at a dwelling house, a person being lawfully therein. Ed. Babbs et als., violating Act 31. Theodore Guillory, murder. Furnest Williams, murder. John Facio, larceny. Abram Miller, stabbing with intent to commit murder. Octave White, horse stealing.

Don Louis Lejune, horse stealing. Henry Hayes, cruelty to animals. Pierre Little, carrying a pistol: J. Duveau, horse stealing. Octave Bushnel, bribing a witness. Claiborne Wilson, murder. Oscar Tate, murder. The jury in the case of A, L. Gout- nay vs. Sandwith Johuson et als. ren- dered a verdict in favor of plaintiff. On Monday, the case of Cheney Lin- too, an Indian, indicted for murder, was tried by a jury and a verdict of guilty without capital punishment was run- dered. Pierre Littell, charged wwith carry ing concealed weapous, pleaded guilty anti was sentenced to sixty days in the par- ish jail and a fine of $50 and costs; in default of payment of fine and costs, 30 days additional imprisonment. Laurent Woodrunt pleaded guilty to a charge of violating Act 31, and was tined $15 and costs; in default of pay- ment, 30 days confinement in the par- iah jail. On Tuesday, the case of the Coulee Croche Regulators was called up, and all the defendants being in court the District Attorney moved for a sever- ance, so that they be tried two or three at a time, as follows: Charles Arabi and Blanc Beard ; Gerrasin Meche and Las- tie Smith; Ursin Bandreas and Jerome Smith; Leoval Meche, Syphorien Meche and Eugene Meche, for the reasons that there being nine defendants formally indicted, there would be in their behalf the right to challenge 108 jurors per- emptorially. This fact alone, without considering the number of peremptory challenges to the State, shows, under the circumstances, how diflicult it would be, if not impossible, to secure a jury snell as should be empanneled to try the case if all the defendants ,s tried to- gether. His Honor, Judge Lewis, after hear- ing arguments of tile conusel for the State and the defense, granted the sev- erance as prayed for, when the State announced their readiness for trial, but some important witnesses for the de- fense not being in attendance, the case was laid over subject to call. On Thursday the case of Claiborn Wilson, indicted for murder, was taken up, and a jury impanneled. The trial of the case occupied the entire day, when it was given to the jury, and as they had not agreed upon a verdict when the Court adjourned, they were locked up for the night. The jury in this case came into Court at its assembling Friday morning, and reported that they could not agree upon a verdict, when they were discharged and a mistrial entered. .. . ...- -, . .. ...

Neuville Guillory, who served the '.Lost Cause" with disitinction as a member of the famous Bull Battery, paid us a friendly call last Tuesday and "reminisced" some of the stirring events of 1861-5. Misses Helen Derbanne and Bella Jacobs, of Washington, made a brief visit to our town last Wednesday. Dr. W. H.

Sherrouse, -of Melville, dropped in to see us on Monday. He is vigorously pushing the sale of that great Southern remedy, Dr. Tichenor's Antiseptic, which applied to wounds, burns, bruises, &c-, is truly wonderful in its healing effects. Mr. Sherrouse expressed himself as well pleased with his success in introducing it where it was not known, and proposes to visit several portions of our large parish tp proclaim its undoubted virtues. We wish him success, for we believe his remedy is a good one. Mr. J. B. Bergeron, of Arnaudville, wae here on business this week. eon. Albert Guidry was among the viitors to our town during the week. Mr. D. P- Sazlan of Port Barr6, was attending to business here Thursday. We had a pleasant call from Mr. Ed. Gardinerof Grald Coteau last Monday. `Mayor W. A.

The residents of Opelousas and viciu- ity have certainly no cause to complain that they cannot find here at home all the necessities and luxuries of life that they may reiqlire, for it cannot be de- iied that maun of tlie large mercantile establishments of Opelousas are boun- tifully supplied wv ith everything in their line, and their prices, owing to brisk competition, ate generally below those of other localites, and leaves no shadow of an excuse for sending abroad for any- thing-either in the line of staple or fancy goods, dry goods or groceries. Among the most extensive establish- ments in (Opelousas, and one which is fast buildinig up an imnense business and a high and deserved reputation for low pitices and fair dealing, we might mention the well known firm ofJ. Mey- ers & Co., whose splendid store is situ- ated on the cornie of Alain and Landry streets, and where may be fouind per- haps the largest and best assorted stock of general merchandise in the parish, besides several lines of specialties not to be found any where else in this sec- lion of Louisiana, while in the matter of low prices they just "take the cake." Wi were shown a large lot of stylish millinery, sample hats and bonnets, " just too utterly lovely for anything,'" which had been purchased at a bargain, and were going for less than half the usuai pi ices ; a lot of giitllemen's hats, sanplltes, some woirth as intuch as $3- all going at 50) cciits each; a lot of toys' hats, all soIts, given away at '25 celints acth.

Resp'y., O. H. SPENCER. Baton Rouge Advocate: There has been a net increase i, the aggregate assessment of Louisiana, of a fraction less than nineteen million dollars. St. Landry and Caddo each came in for a cool million of increase, and the little parish of Taugipahoa was next with $355,000, while East Baton Rouge was slightly more than a quarter of a million. 4'ARMERVILLE, LA., May, 1887.

The Regulators. The trial of of the men who attempted to "-regulate" Mr. Duplichain in Coulde Croche, some months ago, which will soon come up be- fore our District Court, is attracting attention outside the parish. Commenting upon it, the N. O. Times-Democrat says : The prosecuting officers have shown them- selves active and determined, and have se- enred that severance in the trial of the aso- oused that will prevent a wh!olesale challeng- lng of jurors. ,t. Landry owes it to its splendid record to prove that it is not only possible to break up the regulators there and arrest evil-doers, but to punish them also. Its reputation for peace, order and obedience to the law is excelled by no parish in Louisiana, and to this is due he prosperity St. Landry is now enjoying, evidenced by the immigration into the parish uand by the large increase in wealth-an in- crease which the last assessment shows to be so many times greater the improvement in those parishes which excuse or tolerate regu- latorism. When regulatorism first reared its hydra- headed front in St. Landry, the CouneaE promptly denounced it and persisted in de- nouncing and calling down upon it the ven- geance of the outraged law, until a healthy public sentiment was aroused which neither the law-breakers nor their apologists could withstand, and which gave to our authorities the assurance that they would be sustained by the mass of the people in the strict and stern discharge of their duty. If we would escape th' shameful atrocities which have stained the annals of some of our sister par- ishes, our officials, who have shown commend- able zeal in the suppression of lawlessness, nmust still be backed up by our juries, and no galty man must be allowed to escape. Our Mares welfare depends upon a strict per. formeaee of their duty. lJr..lansen, the Norwegian elorer; is get- ting read to start on his epedtion to the Borthi . , for which he hat already collect- -d more than •.•,0 fnac by publio sub- swiptilo.

Present: All the commnissioners of the Parilh of St. Landry to-wit: T. S. Fontenot, E. Dubui- son and Joseph Bloch. Absent: All the com- missioners from the Parish of Acadia to-wit : J. E. Pelton, W. W. Duson and L. V. Fremeaux. Mr. Pelton in obedience to the call of the chairman, came to town for the purpose of at- tending this meeting, but being alone from hli Parish he declined to participate in the pro- ceedings of this day. Mr. L. V. Fremeaux the secretary, being ab- sent Joseph Bloch was on motion appointed secretary pro tern The chairman reports That, in accordance with a resolution passed June 21st 1887, Mr. L. V. Fremeaux furnished a list of the taxpayers within the limits of the Parish of Acadia, as ap- pears on its tax roll for the year 1887, which was the only possible means to form a basis of the assessment of property liable for taxes in 1886, as borne on the rolls of the Parish of St. Landry for that year. He furth:.r reports: That Mr. F. A. King was unable to perform the work which the com- missioners requested him to do, to-wit: To as- certain the taxable property within the limits of the Parish of Acadia, as borne on the assess- ment roll of St. Landry Parish for 1886, and for that reason lie employed the services of other competent men to do that piece of work which was indispensable to the commissioners, in or- der to arrive at a just and fair conclusion of the - proportion of the indebtedness of the Parish of Acadia to the Parish of St. Landry. The work has been done in a good and intel- ligent manner. He has expended the sume of one hundred dollars in cash and now submits the abstract. On motion of Mr. Dubuison duly seconded, ihe list of names furnished by Mr. Fremeaux, and the abstract made in accordance therewith were received, and on further motion of Dir. Dubuisson duly seconded, the Police Jury is respectfully requested to make the necessary appropriation to refund to the chairman, the amount so expended. On motion of Mr. Dubuisson duly seconded, the following resolution was adopted: Whereas the assessment of the Parish of St. Landry for the year 1886, liable to a Parish tax amounted to $3740380.00 (Three Million, Seven Hundred and Forty Thousand Three Ilundred and Eighty Dollars), and whereas the portion of that part of the Parish which is now Acadia, amounted to $870150.00 (Eight Hundred and Seventy Thousand One Hundred and Fifty Dol- lars) liable to said tax, and whereas the indebt- edness of the Parish of St. Landry at that time amounted to $24929.71 (Twenty-four Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-nine Dollars and seventy-one cents). Therefore be it resolved that we find the just and equitable indebtedness of the Parish of Acadia to the Parish of St. Landry to be $5379.67 (Five Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy- nine Dollars and sixty-seven cents.) On motion of Sam Haas the report of coii- mittee was accepted and committee discharg- ed and that the sum of one hundred dollars out of funds not otherwise appropriated be appro- priated to reimburse T. S. Fontenot for money expended by him in procuring data for the commsilon.

    Sunday, the 17th, at 4 o'clock p. mn.;Sunday, the 24th, at 11 o'clock a. m.

    Notwithstanding the session of the.District Court this week, our town has

    been somewhat dull. Many countrypeople are in town, but business doesnot appear to be particularly brisk, ex-cept for the lunch and lodging houses.

    The attention of all having saddle orhar.nss work to be done or repaired isdiredted to the card of Mr. O. Guidryin another column. His shop is nowon Main street, near the store of Mr. .1.K. Sandoz. Give him a call.

    Our venerable friend, Mr. B. Martel,and his son Sully and their families leftlast week to resume their residence inthe parish of St. Mary. Many friendsregret their departure and hope thatthey may soon come back among us.

    The constant rush at J. K. Sandoz'sfor bargains is a sufficient indication ofthe location of the Cheap Cash Store ofOpeloneas. Just think-boys' suits at$1.25, men's suits at $4, men's and boys'shoes at 75 cents, best hand-turned la-dies' shoes at $2.75, and so on.

    Lake Charles will have a nationalbank in a few days, with a capital of$50,000. The little town of Homer,La., has subscribed $75,000 for a simi-lar institution and has already electedits board of directors, president andcashier. Now, it is Opelousas~ turnnext!

    Best full width flannel at 30 cents peryard, at J. K. Sandos's. Gents' furnish-Sin goods at 20 per cent below usualpces. The grocery department is notneglected, and everything is sold atroebottom prices. Too busy to givefurther prices on goods, but a call willconvince any one that we sell cheap.

    -The dramatic entertainment, supperand ball given on Wednesday night atPerrodin's Hall for the benefit of theEpiscopal Church, though not very nu-merously attended, was nevertheless avery enjoyable and auccessful affair, Asnug little sum was realized,,above ex-.pess, which will go to swell the build-"lg fond of the pretty church now incontae of erection.

    Mr. Gus. E. Dupr6 having boughtot the livery and feed stable of Mr.Megluney will devote his personal at-tenmton to the busi n toure andcan guarantee goodl- t and thebest of ervie to his patrons. He haseeuard the services of a good corps ofbQtlera, drivers, etc., and is makingmp~ortant additions to his already fins

    District Court.

    Since our last report the Grand Juryhave reported "a true bill" in the fol-lowing cases:

    Laurena Donato, assault with a dan-gerous weapon.

    Jos. V. Simeon, violating Act 31.Gerrasin Mecho et als., burglary.Alcide Vidrine, murder.Jos. Z. Fruge, larceny.Jos. Fruge, larceny, two bills.Leon Courville, assault with a dan-

    gerous weapon.Joseph Lee, manslaughter.Onezime J. Fontenot, manslaughter.Gerrasin Meche et als., shooting at a

    dwelling house, a person being lawfullytherein.

    Ed. Babbs et als., violating Act 31.Theodore Guillory, murder.Furnest Williams, murder.John Facio, larceny.Abram Miller, stabbing with intent to

    commit murder.Octave White, horse stealing.Edmond Guidry, larcen •,Armand Forest et als., endeavoring

    through violence and threats to compela person to leave the parish.

    D. W. Chilehrist, assault and bat tery.Geo. Garrigues, larceny.Don Louis Lejune, horse stealing.Henry Hayes, cruelty to animals.Pierre Little, carrying a pistol:J. Duveau, horse stealing.Octave Bushnel, bribing a witness.Claiborne Wilson, murder.Oscar Tate, murder.The jury in the case of A, L. Gout-

    nay vs. Sandwith Johuson et als. ren-dered a verdict in favor of plaintiff.

    On Monday, the case of Cheney Lin-too, an Indian, indicted for murder, wastried by a jury and a verdict of guiltywithout capital punishment was run-dered.

    Pierre Littell, charged wwith carry ingconcealed weapous, pleaded guilty antiwas sentenced to sixty days in the par-ish jail and a fine of $50 and costs; indefault of payment of fine and costs,30 days additional imprisonment.

    Laurent Woodrunt pleaded guilty toa charge of violating Act 31, and wastined $15 and costs; in default of pay-ment, 30 days confinement in the par-iah jail.

    On Tuesday, the case of the CouleeCroche Regulators was called up, andall the defendants being in court theDistrict Attorney moved for a sever-ance, so that they be tried two or threeat a time, as follows: Charles Arabi andBlanc Beard ; Gerrasin Meche and Las-tie Smith; Ursin Bandreas and JeromeSmith; Leoval Meche, Syphorien Mecheand Eugene Meche, for the reasons thatthere being nine defendants formallyindicted, there would be in their behalfthe right to challenge 108 jurors per-emptorially. This fact alone, withoutconsidering the number of peremptorychallenges to the State, shows, underthe circumstances, how diflicult it wouldbe, if not impossible, to secure a jurysnell as should be empanneled to try thecase if all the defendants ,s tried to-gether.

    His Honor, Judge Lewis, after hear-ing arguments of tile conusel for theState and the defense, granted the sev-erance as prayed for, when the Stateannounced their readiness for trial, butsome important witnesses for the de-fense not being in attendance, the casewas laid over subject to call.

    On Thursday the case of ClaibornWilson, indicted for murder, was takenup, and a jury impanneled. The trialof the case occupied the entire day,when it was given to the jury, and asthey had not agreed upon a verdictwhen the Court adjourned, they werelocked up for the night.

    The jury in this case came into Courtat its assembling Friday morning, andreported that they could not agree upona verdict, when they were dischargedand a mistrial entered.

    The residents of Opelousas and viciu-ity have certainly no cause to complainthat they cannot find here at home allthe necessities and luxuries of life thatthey may reiqlire, for it cannot be de-iied that maun of tlie large mercantileestablishments of Opelousas are boun-tifully supplied wv ith everything in theirline, and their prices, owing to briskcompetition, ate generally below thoseof other localites, and leaves no shadowof an excuse for sending abroad for any-thing-either in the line of staple orfancy goods, dry goods or groceries.Among the most extensive establish-ments in (Opelousas, and one which isfast buildinig up an imnense businessand a high and deserved reputation forlow pitices and fair dealing, we mightmention the well known firm ofJ. Mey-ers & Co., whose splendid store is situ-ated on the cornie of Alain and Landrystreets, and where may be fouind per-haps the largest and best assorted stockof general merchandise in the parish,besides several lines of specialties notto be found any where else in this sec-lion of Louisiana, while in the matterof low prices they just "take the cake."

    The Regulators.

    The trial of of the men who attempted to"-regulate" Mr. Duplichain in Coulde Croche,some months ago, which will soon come up be-

    fore our District Court, is attracting attentionoutside the parish. Commenting upon it, theN. O. Times-Democrat says :

    The prosecuting officers have shown them-selves active and determined, and have se-enred that severance in the trial of the aso-oused that will prevent a wh!olesale challeng-lng of jurors.,t. Landry owes it to its splendid record toprove that it is not only possible to break up the

    regulators there and arrest evil-doers, but topunish them also. Its reputation for peace,order and obedience to the law is excelledby no parish in Louisiana, and to this is duehe prosperity St. Landry is now enjoying,evidenced by the immigration into the parishuand by the large increase in wealth-an in-crease which the last assessment shows to beso many times greater the improvement inthose parishes which excuse or tolerate regu-latorism.

    When regulatorism first reared its hydra-headed front in St. Landry, the CouneaEpromptly denounced it and persisted in de-nouncing and calling down upon it the ven-geance of the outraged law, until a healthy

    public sentiment was aroused which neitherthe law-breakers nor their apologists couldwithstand, and which gave to our authoritiesthe assurance that they would be sustainedby the mass of the people in the strict andstern discharge of their duty. If we wouldescape th' shameful atrocities which havestained the annals of some of our sister par-ishes, our officials, who have shown commend-able zeal in the suppression of lawlessness,nmust still be backed up by our juries, and nogalty man must be allowed to escape. OurMares welfare depends upon a strict per.

    formeaee of their duty.
