A Long Controversy Settled

Last Monday Justice Monroe
handed down a number of decisions
in the Supreme Court among them
the following:
Mavor and Board of Trustees of
New Iberia VS.. Charles Fontel'eu.
| syllabus:
l. While It is true that the power
to impose taxes and local assess-
ments can only be exercised by
municipal corpor tions when con-
frrred III express terms, or by nj ces-
sary implication, the power to COM
pei the owners OF urban property TO
construct banquetts in front of the
same and to keep them in repair Is
not the taxing, ba, the police power,
and may be exercised under more
general grants.
2. Under provisions of its char
ter authorizing its Beard of Trus-
tees ssto make and pass such resolu-
tons and bylaws and ordinances as
may be deemed necessary and pro
per-" and to CIRCULATE and make
Improvements to the streets, alleys,
sidewalks, public squares, wharves
and other public property and
Places" etc., the town Of New
Iberia may legally require the
J owners of lots fronting on particul-
ar streets tc construct and keep II
repair the sidewalks and curblngs
In front of such lots.
al Our conclusion, then, is that the
J. plaintiffs are entitled to recover, and
/, it is accordingly ordered, adjudged
= and decreed that the judgment ap
pealed from be annuled, avoided
!. and reversed. and that there nov
e be judgments In favar of the plain
tiffs, the Mayor and Board of Trus
tees of New Iberia, and against tn
defendant, Charles Fontelieu, Il
, the the sum of $50, with interes
N thereon at the rate of s per cent pc

We trust that the present CT

Brain-Eood Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dispell-
ed the silly notion that one kind of
food is needed for the brain, another
for the muscles, and still another for
bones. A correct diet will not only
nourish particular part of the body,
but it will sustain every other part.
Yet, however good your food may be,
it's nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green S August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mill
ions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
purifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can

follows: Our two children had a
severe attack of whooping cough,
one of them in the paroxysm of
coughing would often faint and
bleed at the nose. We tried every
thing we heard of without getting
relief. We then called in our family

they began to improve and we feel
that it has saved their lives. Refuse

An Itemized Account.

A prosperous liquor dealer was
boasting to a group of men stand
ing near his saloon of the amount Of
money he had made.
Il have made more than $1,000 in
the last three MONTHS" he said.
You have made more than that,
quietly remarked listener.
What is that?" was the quick re-
ponse.
You have made my two sons
drunkards. You have made their
mother a broken-hearted woman.
You have made much more than
that, | reckon, but you'll get the
full account some day"
Finland has population of 2, $780,
900, composed for the most part of
Lutherans, with only 416 Catholics
and a few of other denominations
The climate is miserab1y cold, and
about three-fourths of the land is
craggy and sterile; but the Russian
government has made the Fins an
active, thrifty people by prohibiting
the sale of liquor The last govern
ment report of exports was 0,000,-
900 francs "a franc is about 10 cents
Of our money!. Finland is destined
to become the great pulp market of
the world. Notwithstanding the
GOODNESS of the climate and the ster-
ility of the soil, the sober, hard
working Fins manage to support
ia savings banks with money which
in this country goes to the saloons.
Besides there is an admirable school
system and only a few people cannot
read and write.
Helsingsfors, city of $4,000 in
habitants, is the capital. 1t is scrup-

about the same. < In this country
