BLOOD

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as our
blood is rich or poor. There is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high we are being re-
freshed-bone, muscle and
brain, in body and mind-with
continual fow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest is
not rest and sleep is not sleep,
we are starved; our blood is
poor; there is little nutriment
in it.
Back of the blood is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take

Rogers and Others Of the

STOLE JAcKsoN's RAILROAD
Is the Claim He Sets Up in His
Bill in Suit in New
York City.

NEW YORK, Apr. 25-Charging
that H. H. Rogers and others of the
Standard oil group had defrauded
him out of sums amounting to prac-
tlcally $4,000, 900. T. Moore jackson,
Of Clarksburg. w. Va, yesterday filed
suit In the supreme court Of New
York county for the recovery OF the
amount.
Jackson sets forth that the West
Virginia Short Line railroad was in
corporated to construct a railroad
from New MartinsvIlIe to Belington.
He was elected president and held a
large amount Of the stock,
The complaint says that Mr.. Jack
son was mineralogist and geologlst
and had located number Of tracts
OF land in West Virginia in which
there was coal, Iron, oil ana other
valuable products that he had expect
led to develop with great financial
gain to himself. but that adverse rail-
road interests had made 1t almost i'm
possible for him to move his mater
ials; that the Baltimore 6 Ohio Rail-
road company, which was on one side
OF his property, made the rates so
high that 1t was practically impos-
sible for him to ship by 1t and that
he had deemed 1t wise to construct a
line through his property and connect
1t with the Ohio River railroad to
give him competing line.
Jackson sets forth that Rogers,
with others of the Standard OIL
group, owned controlling interest
in the Ohio River railroad, and that
Rogers had been trying to sell 1t to
the Baltimore & Ohio rallroad.
Rogers sent for him to come to
New York. Jackson says. to listen to
a proposition that the Ohio River
railroad company build the West vir-
ginia Short Line and thus make a
competing line with the Baltimore &
Ohio and intimated that he. Rogers,
was hostile to the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad.
Jackson swears that he turned over
the West Virginia Short Line to
Rogers. Jackson says he was then
called upon to turn over to the de-
fendants certificates representing all
his holdings in the West Virginia
Short Line, and that the defendants
sold both the West Virginia Short
Line and the Ohio River railroad to
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at a
high and remunerative price" By
reason of this he lost property val
ned at 1888, ,939.25.
BY reason of the fact that he had
conceived the idea of the West Vir-
ginia Short Line the Baltimore &
Ohio would not give him any facili-
ties for the movement Of his mater
lals and that his properties could not
be developed. and that by reason OF
"all the wrongful, fraudulent and de-
ceitful acts OF the defendants the
plaintiff suffered great grievance and
damage" as follows:
The value OF the plaintiffs West
Virginia Short Line Railroad COM
pany. amounting to the sum OF $780,
900. the loss OF his properties and
the depreciation OF his properties and
those of the corporations in which he
was interested. amounting in all the
the sum of $I,613,939.25.
The plaintiff demands judgment In
the sum Of 1888, ,939.25 damages,
together with the costs and disburse-
ments Of the action.
