ANOTHER BURGLARY.

Thieves Break Into Tobias' Store andMake Big Haul.

Unknown robbers broke into thestore of Jasmin Tobias at the cornqrof Railroad avenue and Charlesstreet Thursday night, and carriedaway merchandise valued at between$500 and $600. consisting of ladies'thirtwaists, men's and ladies' cloth-ing, ladies's hoes and ten cheapwatches, and also ransacked the cashregister.

Entrance was effected by prizingopen the back door from the bottom,after which the glasses in the paneldoor leading into the store properwere broken and the robbers crawledthrough despite the presence of alarge bull dog which is kept chainednear the door. The presumption isthat the 'thieves knew the dog, andkept him quiet by talking to andpatting fim.

The burglary was discovered bythe colored porter of the establish-ment early yesterday morning whenhe went to the back part thereof toget his broom. He reported the dis-covery to Solomon Well, a salesmanat the store, and the latter imme-diately notified Mr. Tobias. Thesheriff was advised of the robberyand began an investigation at once,but no clue has yet been discoveredwhich might lead to the identity ofthe perpetrators of the crime.

"Zip" Fields, the negro watchman,was questioned about the affair andstated that when he made his lastround at 5 o'clock yesterday morningthe door through which the burglarsgained entrance to the building wasintact. It is believed that Fields leftthe neighborhood for a while and the'crime was committed during his ab-

sence.

Mr. Tobias, is very much wroughtup over the matter, and is of theopinion that the robbery was com-mitted by the same band of organizedcriminals who perpetrated severalburglaries of a similar character sev-eral months ago, and in which hewas one of the victims. He suggeststhat as a last resort, the people ofthis city might be driven to organizethemselves into a vigilance commit-tee and adopt stern measures to pro-tect themselves against the depre-lations of these desperate criminals.

A solid carload of Ford cars wasreceived yesterday at the Donaldson-ville Garage, the local agency, inMississippi street, of which K. A. Au-coin is the wide-awake proprietor.Mr. Aucoin expects two more car-loads of these automobiles in the nextfew days. Henry Ford's "flivvers"seem to be as popular as ever in thissection.

NEW BASEBALL DIAMOND.

Ground Put in Turtle Back Shape-Ready for Opening Game May 2.

The new baseball grounds in frontof the new grandstand at the fairgrounds has been graded and leveled

by a road machine, and the diamond

laid out and put in first-class .turtle-back shape, and all is in readiness forthe opening game which is scheduled

to take place Sunday, May 2. Thefront of the new grandstand has beenscreened from one end to the otherto protect those occupying seats

therein against foul balls during thegame.

On May 2, the recently organized

Donaldsonville team will cross batswith the classy Napoleonville nine,and a very spicy and interestinggame is expected. The local lineupis stronger than it was last year and

all of the boys are in fine practice.

Southerland will be in the box with

Burns, the old reliable, doing the re-ceiving, and this team is going to

prove hard to beat. The Napoleon-

ville lads are not aware of it. but

they are going up against a veritablestonewall on May 2. This they willdiscover to their chagrin before the

game has progressed very far.Henry Dugas, who managed the

home team last year and who will act

in the same capacity this year, isvery confident that his boys will car-

ry off the honors on the opening day.

The Naps are said to be equally con-fident. It is, therefore, reasonable

to suppose that both teams will ap-

pear at their best and that each side

will do its utmost to win. The gamewill be worthwhile seeing.

To Engage in Business.

Leonce Trepagnier and J. A. B r-

thet experb young auto mechanic

this city have rented the mecha I

department of the Ferro andNew Avenue Garage in courseconstruction at the corner of

road avenue and Opelousas street

well as the old garage, in the avenbetween Opelousas and e

streets and beginning Ma ey

will operate both places for own

account, with ample facilities for

turning out all work entrusted to

their' care on the shortest lssible

notice. They are both experts in

their line, with many years of practi-

cal experience to their credit. Mr.

Trepagnier was the first in this townto engage in auto repair work, com-

mencing many years ago when theautomobile first made its advent

here. Both he and Mr. Barthet werefor years employed in the repair de-partment of the Donaldsonville Gar-

age, and their work always gave sat-isfaction to the patrons of that es-tablishment. They will do all kinds

of work. on both automobiles andtractors and no job will be too largenor to small to receive their mostasreful attention.

Alphonse Baye, who resided hereseveral years ago, and was for some3time employed as carrier by theDaily Times, published in this city,writes the Chief that he has been dis-charged from the U. S. navy and isnow located at Crumples, West Vir-ginia, where he is making good, Herequests that his friends in this citywrite to him occasionally and s.lys the is always glad to hear from folks

in his old home town.

There is some speculation here andthere as to the cause of the delay ofthe Democratic cp.; emmittee,elected in the Janary priniary, inmeeting to organize. There shouldnot be any factional differences, no"Looney politics" to prevent an earlyassemblage of the members for the'purpose of naming a chai ran andsecretary, both to be residents ofDonaldsonville, to be followed by theselection of dele$tes to the BatonRouge convention, to be held June3 then a`journ, with every onepledging his co-operation hereafter

The Cumberland Telephone andTelegraph Company is applying the"big stick" to its delinquent victims.

A bill is rendered for April. Includ-ed is the item, "exchange service cur-

Dons Overalls.Jos. P. Thiac, the progressive local

lumber dealer, who was the first inthis city to agitate the formation ofan overalls club, appeared last ihon-day rigged in a complete overallsoutfit. The clothing is becoming andMr. Thiac declares that it is cool andcomfortable. Others are expected tofollow Mr. Thiac's lead and it is be-lieved that in the course of a shorttime the wearing of these garment.)will become popular in this city. Theomovement in favor of overalls is gen-eral throughout the United States,and intended to effect a saving onthe more expensive wearing apartclin the hope that the reduced derrma, dthereof will bring about a reductionin the price, which at the presenttime is almost prohibitive and onlywithin the reach of the rich, or thosewho earn big salaries. But unfoc-tupately there is no assurance thatthe plan will succeed. What is toprevent the manufacturers of theblue denim of which the overalls aremade and the manufacturers of theoveralls as well from ceasing to turnout this cloth and these garments al-together, or from increasing theprice thereof so high that the costif an ordinary suit of clothes will

seem cheap in comparison, and thusforce the men to return to the pres-ent every-day wearing apparel? Thepresent prices of overalls are com-

paratively cheap, but wly will pre-dict that the present prices will pre-vail when the popular demand forthem becomes so great as to encroachupon the profits of manufacturers ofwoolen and other cloths and cloth-ing? The wearing of overalls will nodoubt prove economical to the wearer-as long as the price of the garmentsis reasonable, but how long will the

rice remain reasonable? It will re-ain reasonable just as long as itits the fancy of the clothing trust,ich has the people as completelyits mercy as the sugar, oil, food,es, coal and other trusts

Agents for Fine Beverage.In an ad appearing across the

top of the second page in this issueof the Chief, Montero & Brande, pro-prietors of the new bottling plant re-cently erected in this city, announcethat they have secured the agencyfor the distribution in certain terri-tory of "Jax," the celebrated non-intoxicating drink, manufactured bythe Jackson Brewery of New Orleans.Jax is one of the most refreshing andpalatable beverages on the market,and is gaining in popularity everyday.

The archbishop de-livered an address in which he com-plimented the members of, the con-gregation upon the neatness of thechapel, and although his shay wasvery short, his visit will long be re-membered by all those who werepresent at the ceremony.
