' ■ r " ; \... - The Infant born about two weeks ago to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hemp hill is now in a splendid way to live and. its rescue can be attributed to an operation by which blood from the mother was transfused to the . infant several days ago.

Tom who was selected by Administrator Geo. H. Gifford, to sell 40 acres of walnut timber preserved by Ben j. J. Gifford, on 40 acres of land near Fisher, 111., made a sale of the timber Tuesday. B. D. McColly, of Rensselaer, and Chas. Zeigler, of Mulberry, accompanied him, and the latter arranged to purchase it as soon as the sale can be approved by the court. It is probable that there will be 93,000 of $4,000 worth of walnut timber on the 40 acres. Mr! Gifford sold this land for S2O an acre 22 years ago, reserving the tiihber for a term of fifty years. Recently Executor Gifford was told that the of reserve wohld expire this year and they made haste to negotiate a sale, but Mr. Callahan since looked up the lease and finds that It has 28 years yet to run. The land sold for so low & price 22 years ago. is now worth $250 an acre. The present owner will be pleased to have it cleared, as It earns him nothing as it now stands.

Hard Coal Trust to Be Sued by U. S. Government.

The department of justice of the U. S. Government has begun action against the hard coal trust, to require its dissolution. The Reading Co., with its subsidiary and allied corporations is the defendant. . This combination controls at the present time 63 per cent of the anthracite output ■of the country. The trust question is one of the things which our democratic friends have promised to solve for us. So far they have solved nothing, even being afraid to finally pass their tariff measure. It is interesting to observe that the- department of justice is employing the saipe means to break up the hard coal trust that the preceding administration did the many trusts prosecuted.

FACT

Local Evidence. Evidence that can be verified. Pact Is what we want. Opinion is not enough. Opinion!) differ. Here’s a Rensselaer fact. You can test it. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used them and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial at Down’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or of backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.’’ For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn 00., Buffalo.
