JUDGE SIMON MAKES CANAL
CASE RETURN.

New Orleans Nov. 8.-The
return of Judge James Simon
OF the Nineteenth judicial Dis
trlct Court for the parish OF
Iberia to writs of mandamus,
certiorari and prohibition issued
! by the Supreme Court upon the
application of the iberia and
Vermilion Railroad Company
in the case of Board of Com
mlssioners of Petit-Ansc Drain
age District VS.. Iberia and Yer
million Railroad Company was
filed in the Supreme Court yes
terday.
Judge Simon responds that
the injunction issued at the in
stance of the Drainage Com
mission was properly sworn to
and contained averments which
made it obligatory upon him
to sign the order for the injunc-
ton. The order for injunction
previously issued at the instance
OF the railroad company having
been signed by the clerk of the
court in Judge Slmon's absence
from the parish, the respondent
AYERS that the order was issued |
upon a petition reciting threa
tened extra judicial removal of
the crossing by the Drainage
Board, and the purport OF this
order was that the drainage
commissioners were restrained
from removing the crossing
without the intervention of the
court.
The respondent AYERS that
there is no similarity between
the two petitlons--the cause of
action being distinct in each
case-the one being a threaten
I'd trespass by the board, and
the other an obstruction to a
public work of drainage by the
abroad.
Judge Simon cites numerous
decisions of the Supreme Court
o sustain the position assumed I
n the controversy by him, and
Jays that the Geographic orders t
rom the Supreme Court were
'eceived by him long after the {
heriff had executed the order
# the respondent requiring him |
o remove the crossing. i
A certified copy of all of the +
proceedings in the case was at {
ached to the return, which t
rays that the prayer OF the re-
ators be dismissed. {

DEATH OF WIN. SOUTHWEIL

One of New Iberia's oldest and
most valued citizens, Mr.. William
Southwell passed away yesterday
evening at six o'clock after com
paratively brief illness. The end
was not unexpected, but it was
hoped that the man that all knew
and respected would conquer the
illness that had siezed him, butlit
was not to be and surrounded by
his children he began that journey
that knows no ending.
Born in Wilmington, Delaware
In 1882, Mr.. Southwell came here
about 40 years ago and his active
brain did much to make this city
what ii is. An architect, builder
and contractor, his work in those
days stands today as a monument
to his memory. The Catholic
Church, the Convent aud many of
the chief structures of the former
days of the city were built by him
aud will remain with us for years
to come to remind us of the man
who gave much time and thought
to the improvement of his adopted
home. He was Que of the first tn

borhood and for twenty three years
he occupied the home in which he |
passed away.
He was prominent mover in all |
the enterprises that had for their
object the bettermeut of the city
and at one time was a member of
the City Council. About fifteen
years ago he retired from active
business life and since then has
been living quietly surrounded by
his sons and daughters aud his
many friends. Lately his health
began to fail rapidly bat such was
ais remarkable vitality that ii was
hoped his span of life would be

HIGH LICENSES NOW.

The Police Jury has raised Tia,
licenses of saloons throughout tn,
Parish to 81 900 per year, thereb,
placing them on equal footing with
the saloons of the city. This is
move in the right direction. Their,
is no reason why a saloon in one
part of the parish should pay
n smaller license that one in an
other. If it is right to charge
the saloons of cities 81 900 per
year 1t is also right TO charge
those OF tho cross roads the same
price.
1t is claimed on behalf of the
country saloon that the business
does not Justify the payment of the
tax. This may be so, but rents
are cheaper in the country than the
city, expenses are less and it would
seem that the difference in these
items would make up the difference
in trade. AS general rule the
cross roads saloon is a dangerous
place to have about. IL is out of
sight of officers of the law a
large part of the time and most
crimes out Of town are traceable in
some way to their influence.
IL the expense Of drinking is
made 80 great in the country that
the farm hands cannot afford to
imbibe they will be the better able
to do their chores. IL the saloons
there are forced to close there, will
be less temptation to the planta.
ton help to waste time aud there
will be more work and less idle.
ness. The small farmer will have
more for his family grocery bill, il
he has no saloon to spend his money
and in every way his condition will
be bettered The action Of the
Police Jury was worthy Of much
praise. The better class Of saloons
only can exist and the cheap re-
sorts must close mr. raise their |
prices so that the poor man will be
kept out.

The foreign arenic features newly add
ed the Carl Hagenbeck Greater Slows.
coming to New Iberia on Tuesday, Nov.
goth, are many and magnetic and in the
constellation none stands out in stronger
light than Les Freres Koroly, now seen
for the first time in America. The broth.
ers koroly are three In number and are
the acknowledged champion riding experts
of all Europe. These remarkable performers
appear in what are classed ms the only
original equestrian acts known to the
circus for the past half century. Their
simplest feats are not within the range of
accomplishments OF the average eauest-
rian and their more heroic efforts are the
bane of envious rivals. The brothers
koroly, two in jockey dress and the third
attired In motley, appear using single
horse for their dexterous individual aud
conductive performances, which embrace
a series of riding and athletic stunts en-.
tirely new 10 the American arena, CON
GLIDING with simultaneous bounding leans
from the ground to the back of the one
swift running horse. Here they are join.
ed by an English bulldog of no mean
questrain ability. The introduction OF n
comedy element by the korolys adds zest
and novelty TO their performances and the
certainty OF execution with which all
their feats are accomplished gives a
finished touch that is so frequently lack.
ing in other riders. The korolys are not
alone. however, in the Hagenbeck
equestrian contingent. There are many
other riders Of both sexes whose names
are synonymous with the best and great
est in equestrian achievement and the
OF whom are progeny of illusiri-
Gus riding families, thus combining &C.

FAvRoT KILLED ALDRIcH.

Baton Rouge, Nov. o.-The
unwritten law is said to be an
excuse for the killing of DR..
Aldrich by Judge Favrot.
From one of Judge Favrot's
close personal friends comes the
statement that Judge Favrot
believed that DIR. Aldrich had
made improper remarks about
his wife, and nothing but the
"unwritten law" could be APP
piled.
Judge Favrot is still silent
upon the cause. He has said
nothing more except what he
said Wednesday night as he
walked out OF the Raymond
Building after the shooting, that
he had killed him for sufficient
reasons.

PICKED OUT THE ROUTE.

1t was pleased party Of
representative citizens that re-
turned from trip overland to
Lake Fausse Pointe and an in
spection OF the proposed water
way between the Bayou and the
Lake. 1t was found that the
route as proposed was perfectly
feasible and that it would require
the digging of only about 8 IL
miles OF canal.
The party that lief. here yes

following members of the Board
of Trade: Messrs Porteus K.

driven overland to the lake
where the pretty gasoline boat
Barney !. belonging to Mr..
Bob Johnson was boarded after
an enjoyable luncheon. Mr..
II. II. Shaded joined the party
at this point and assisted in the
operations.
From this time on the party
explored the shores OF the lake,
the mouths of the bayous and
water courses and the depth of
the waters OF the lake was taken
at all points. The trip by water
was more than % miles and at
the end OF the trip the part
was landed at the back Of Adel-
inc Plantation. From there
the walk was six miles to a

so it is said, on the advice of the
manufacturers of the drink. The
state in these cases will have chem
lists as witnesses, who have analysed
the drink and who, so the state claims,
found 1t to contain enough alcohol to
make it intoxicating, and the fact
that the parties procured a govern
ment license to sell it would seem to
make a prima facia case against
them. The government revenue Of
ficer, when quizzed on the question
that he would not have much business
in this place as 1t is a dry town, is
said to have replied that he had
couple of other places and when asked
to name them he refused to do so.
He is probably not bound to state
who takes out licenses, whether in
dry or wet town, and is correct in his
position, but it is circumstance for
the state in these cases. These cases
will be watched by dealers in this
kind of drink in dry towns all over
the state and legal talent galore will
be engaged on both sides, as on it's
final determination depends whether
or not big fines shall be imposed and
big amounts be collected under the

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows tnat char
| coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose. -
Charcoal is a remedy that the
more you take of it the better; it is
not drug at all, but simply absorbs
the gases and impurities always pres
ent in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal .effectual'y clears and i'm
proves the complexion, 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather
in the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these Iozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
tion of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty OF it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: 81 ad
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; | also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use Of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although In
some sense patent preparation char
believe | get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
