ADVERTISEMENTS.
UricSol,
the only cure for
Rheumatism.

II you are suffering from rheumatism
there is a chance for you to become
absolutely cured. You may cure your
self and do it quickly If you will lay
aside your prejudice and skepticism.
Every San Francisco druggist sells
Uricsol, the well known remedy, and
we hereby authorize them to guarantee
a cure.
Uricsol cures rheumatism In the only
possible way it can be cured.
Uric Acid and Urates are the cause
of Rheumatism. These are deposited
in the tissues, blood vessels and joints
of the body.
These deposits must be dissolved and
eliminated from the system before a
cure can be accomplished.
Uricsol is solvent of these and tones
up the system, stimulates the kidneys,
liver and bowels and thus drives them
from the system.
Uricsol is harmless and no injurious
results can possibly come to any part
of your body.

CASH RESERVE
SHOWS A LOSS
Official Statement of New
York Banks Records De-
crease OfLOans and Deposits
CIRCULATION INCREASES
Reduction in Advances Due
to Liquidation OF Specula-
live Stock Market Accounts

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The Finan-
cier says: One notable feature of the
official statement of the New York AS
sociated Banks last week was the de-
crease for the first time since the week
ending August q of loans and deposits,
the former by s2,454, 600 and the latter
by S10,10S,500, making the net increase
in loans since the above date of $780,
447,600 and on deposits of $66, $50, 800.
The cash reserve showed a loss last
week of $685. 900, which sum very near
ly corresponds with the loss as esti-
mated upon the basis of the traceable
movements of money during the week,
there being a difference of only $685.
500. The required reserve was reduced
through the decrease in deposits by
s2,5So,S75, which sum. deducted from
the loss in cash. left s3.1O2.125 as the
reduction in surplus reserve to $685.
251,075. Computed upon the basis of
deposits, less those of s23, 4S7, 100 public
funds, the surplus is 32,11o,3
The decrease of $2,454, 900 in loans, as
above stated, was probably due to the
liquidation of speculative accounts in
the stock market during the week, the
result Of the unfavorabIe reports as to
the yield of corn. The statement failed
to balance, the sum of the reduction in
loans and of the loss in cash being 81
036,500 less than the decrease in de-
posits.
Circulation increased s611, 900 and the
largest gain in this item was by one
bank. Comparisons of loans show that
eight banks reduced this item by two
and three-quarter millions net; these
banks lost three -fifteenths of million
net in cash. Compared with August 81,
five of the larger banks show a net
expansion of twenty-seven and a half
millions in loans, a net reduction of
twenty eight millions in cash Cor nearly
the whole of the loss indicated by all
the banks in the association and a
net gain of one million in deposits.

Sale of Town lots.

The sale of the town lots in the
Lawler & Caldwell Addition of the
town of Opelousas, advertised to
take place on Thursday, the 17th,
was pulled off as scheduled. The
inclemency OF the weather, howav-
er, caused the promoters to post.
pone the sale until last Tuesday,
the 22d, after selling several lots.
The sale, both Thursday and
Tuesday, brought good prices, and
all parties are satisfied at the re-
suit.
The property, containing forty
seven acres, was bought by Lawler
& Caldwell two years ago from
DIR. Chas. f. Boagni, for $2500.
The sale of lots SO far amounts to
$S010, with about twenty lots left
to be sold.
The property is situated in the
northen portion of the town, and
is admirably laid out with wide
streets and avenues.
The investors were mostly care
fuI business men, and this fact at
tests to the value OF the property.

New Parish.

The latest sizzle in the political
pot is the question as to whether
st. Landry is to be cut up into
sandwiches, Or remain, rs it is, the
Empire parish of the State.
The movement to create a new
parish to be known as Blanchard
parish, is presumably the offspring
of the people of Bunkie, the thriv-
ing Avoyelles town. It is the In
tention, we are told, of making
Bunkie the seat OF the new
parish. A railroad to run from
Buukie to Vile Platte, Is the in-
centive. The company to build
the railroad is organized, with DR..
ID. w. Haas as President, Capt.
Sam Haas, of this parish, as one
of the directors. 1t will be stand
ard guage road, and will take in
the hardwood section of this par
ish. The company has already
called for bids to construct the
road, the advertisement calling for
bids appearing in the Baltimore
American.
The proposed Blanchard parish is
to he composed Of portions of st.
Landry, Avoyelles and Rapides par
ishes. II will take in the northern
portion of this parish-Palmetto, Big
Cane, Melville, etc-in other words,
the fourth ward and portion of
the sixth ward-North st. Landry.
There were some gentlemen in
Opelousas the other day feeling
the pulse of the people here as to
tire move, and we learn that they
were met with an unexpected prop
osition. Tt will be remembered
that some years ago there was an
attempt made to create the Parish
OF Evangeline, out OF the western
part of st. Landry. The maJter
was hard-fought, and was killed
by the Legislature refusing to pass
an enabling act calling for an elec-
ton. The promoters now see a
rift Lin the clouds-a chance OF
realizing their fond hopes-and the
Blanchard Parish people are made
the proposition that Ii they will
vote for the creation of Evange-
lice parish, Evangeline people will
I'm turn vote for the creation OF
Blanchard Parish-otherwise the
Eyangeline people say "Nay Pau

The two proposed new parishes,
however, will conflict In territory,
aud it is not improbable that the
compact will be difficult to effect.
