Capt. James Mays Law Case.
From the Gazette.

From the Gazette.
Captain May wants to renew his litiga-
ton against the LeClaire estate, Geo. L..
Davenport, and others. 1t will be remem-
bered that he obtained decree aud judg-
ment, after years OF effort, in the United
States supreme court, for about $l0,40O,
against these parties, and that it was small
amount in comparison with his claim. His
Judgment was paid in full, The result has
been so unsatisfactory to him that he has
recently filed in the United States circuit
court for Iowa bill of review. The fees
OF the captains attorneys must have
absorbed the amount of his judgment, and
left him 10 no better position when he got
through with the suit than when he CON-
menced it. How he can hope to obtain
another judgment, after the question In.
volved has been settled by the highest
court in the land, nobody but himself
knows.

But, will they ever pay back cent of
the money borrowed? We reckon not.
They will use it up in salaries and expenses
and cheat Uncle Sam out Of the million
and half borrowed At first, they only
asked charter from congress to organize,
and pledged themselves never to ask any
appropriation. The next year they asked
for money, but Mr.. Springer, of Illinois,
secured the passage of proviso that they
should pay back the money before they
made any dividend to stock holders. And,
when asked to refund the money they re-
fused to return cent. A suit was then
brought against them by the United
States, which was argued, for by the United
States, 10 the supreme court, by Mr..
Springer. The decision is only in accord
ance with the contract-but we suppose
the swinGiers who run the concern will use
up all the funds and that Uncle Sam viii
never get cent back.

HELMBoLDs BUcHU. - Helmbold's
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attanable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As dluretic, it is supe
rior to almost any other medicine ir use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton. and the diligence used 10 the selection
of the crude material, have made it known
far and wide as a reliable and effective
preparation. and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold Oh the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm
bold's only.
