Wants Government to Restore Lanc

Wants Government to Restore Land.
An echo of the locally noted land
suit of the United States Govern
ment versus James L. Bradford was
heard in the United States CIRCUIT
Court at New Orleans the other day,
when the aged attorney filed Dill
of complaint against the federal
government. It will be remembered
that Bradford, who is now IS years
of age, was convicted in the federal
court in 1906 under charges of hav-
ing defrauded the government OF GER
tain land patents, the land comprls-
ing several hundred acres situated
in this parish. He was sentenced to
pay a fine of $4,000 and to serve one
year in the Orleans parish prison,
but a few months later was pardoned
| by President Roosevelt, the pardon
being conditional upon his return OF
| the patents which he had acquired
by fraud.
The plaintiff now seeks to recover
certain costs which he was made tc
pay as a result of the suit, and also
| asks that the government restore &c
him certain patents not mentioned ~
the president in his conditional par
don. The plaintiff states that the
money was extorted from him IN az
Illegal manner by the then distrlc7
attorney, W. w. Howe, who also com
PEELED him to relinquish his claims
On a certain portion OF land Wnlof
did not figure in the original suit
The plaintiff bases his claim on tnf
fact that he was convicted on the
scrip" and homestead cases, ant
specifically asks that the court Sc
aside the various DEGREES made ant
signed in the United States Circui
! Court on Oct 10, 1907, and that tn
original bills of complaint be rein
stated, and that the court allow tn
said suits to proceed to final hearing

CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Loss of Appetite or Distress After
Eating Symptom mat Shou'o
not Be Disreearded.

Appetite is just a natural desire
for food. Loss Of appetite or stomach
distress after eating indicate lndlges-
ton or dyspepsia. Over-eating IS
habit very dangerous to a person
good general health.
1t is not what you eat but what
you digest and assimilate that does
you good. Some of the strongest,
heaviest, and healthiest persons are
moderate eaters.
There is nothing that will cause
more trouble than a disordered stom-
ach, and many people daily contract
serious maladies simply through dis
regard or abuse of the stomach.
We urge all in Dona}dsonyllle VINO
suffer from any stomach derange-
ment, indigestion, or dyspepsia, wheth-
err acute or chronic, to try Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets, with the distinct
understanding that we will refund
their money without question OF
formality, if after reasonable use OF
this medicine, they are not perfect
" satisfied with the results. We re-
commend them to our customers
every day, and have yet to hear OF
any one who has not been benefited
by them. We honestly believe them
to be without equal. They give very
prompt relief, aiding to neutralize the
gastric juices, strengthen the dlges'
| tive organs to regulate the bowels,
and thus to promote perfect nutrition
and eradicate all unhealthy symp'
toms.
We urge you to try Csc. box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, which give
| Is days treatment. At the end OF
that time, your money will be re
turned to you if you are not satls'
fled. Of course, in chronic cases
length of treatment varies. For such
cases, we have two larger sizes
which sell for sos. and 81. Remember

stead Of deducting from earnings the cost
Of the new bridge erected TO replace the
one demolished during the year when the
replacement occurs the expense is spread
over a number OF years.
"In this way earnings available for divi-
dends are not reduced 10 an extraordinary
extent because the company is compelled
10 make an unusual expenditure In a single
year. 1t might occur that the extraordi-
nary expenditure would have TO be made In
a lean year, when earnings were not up TO
the customary standard, I'm which case the
net surplus would be curtalled TO an en-
barrassing extent; but with fund created
to meet the contingency the expenditure
may be made without making an inroad
upon current earnings. which might be
detrimental to the stockholders.

ANNUAL. REVIEW OF TRADE.
Dun's Review says


Business, which IN 1909 was depressed
IN the first half of the year and became
very active in the second half, reversed the
order in 1910, being active IN the first half,
but depressed in the latter half. 1t was
not until June that the basic iron and steel
trade began 10 show the signs Of oyerpro-
duction and diminishing consumption, but
at the end Of the year production was COM
puted 10 be only 80 per cent OF present
greatly enlarged capacity. The dry goods
trade experienced n less violent change in
conditions, but with high costs Of produc-
tion and with an absence Of buying by re-
taiiers for other than immediate necessi-
ties tho year was. for both manufacturer
end jobber. one Of diminished activity and
narrow profits. The industrial and mer-
camille situation in other lines was, as
whole, fairly represented by the conditions
prevailing in these two great branches. BY
the end Of the year, however the money
market everywhere displayed signs Of in
creasing ease. In spite Of these conflicting
but in the main disappointing develop
rrents the year presented a number OF en-
couraging features. Agricuturally, II was
notable for aggregate farm products in THIS
country Of over s9,000000,000, with q
record breaking corn crop OF over three
billion bushels. Notwithstanding the re-
action Of the past six months, vast ag-
eregate of transactions was achieved,
labor on the whole was well employed az
continued high wages and building opera
tions were extensive. The census disclosed
an enormous increase in the population.
Signs of increasing economy in living and
increasing preparation for new advance
in enternrise manifested themselves. An
encouraging demand for bonds sprang up
at the close Of the year. The absence Of
dcmoralizing speculation and the prevalence
Of a sound conservatism were the best
eafepuards for the future. Again the bank
cIearings proved their right TO be regarded
as one of the best tests of business condi-
tions In the Hrst half of the year they
increased 9.5 per cent over 1909, but there
after began to decline progressively, the
heaviest loss being, however. in New York,
owing 10 the stagnaton in the speculative
markets. Yet the total of clearings reached
figures slightly below those OF last year,
which were S33. 400 100000 in excess Of
1oOs so that 1910 will appear statistically
as one of very fair dimensions. and it is
noticeable that as IT drew to close a
more cheerful and confident feeling gen
orally prevailed as TO the future.

AMORTIZATION FOR PUBLIC SER.
VICE COMPANIES.

Certain public service corporations,
financed by Bertron, Griscom & jerks, Of
this city, report in their statements a
charge that is not usually embodied in In
come accounts. namely. "amortization." a
word which generally is applied 20 sinking
funds involving the setting aside OF a pro-
norton OF earnings 10 meet the maturing
OF a funded debt.
Amortization as applied by the firm
named has broader Significance the pur-
pose being TO set aside portion OF tho
earnings of a corporation to meet extraor-
dinary expenditures and depreciation. Dis
cussing this subject. a member Of the firm

PASSING OF CONTROL.

In 1910 the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway
Company secured control Of the Hooking
Valley. ~ the same time practically the
controlling interest in the Rock Island was
sold by Kuhn, Loeb & Co to Phelps.
Dodge & Co. The sale OF the Rock Island
followed the collapse Of the Pearson-F'ar-
quhar speculation in the securities Of that
railroad.
