action by holding another election. The law is all in favor of the corporations. Among the books to.be published this fall by Indiana winters will be a 300-page volume of poems, by Mr. W. W. Pfritnmer of Kentland, whose “Driftwood, by the Kankakee Poet, 1 ’ has sold to the extent of over three thousand volumes. The title of the new volume will be “Tales from the Kankakee and Other Poems.” In these verses Mr. Pfritnmer will tell of his experiences on tho Kankakee. The outline of the publication is this: A party of campers, including a poet, start out for a trip through the Kankakee marshes. The first night out they make the acquaintance of an old trapper, who, during the long evening, tells the party a very interesting story. This story will be ttie opening poem of the book. During the trip each member of tho party tells his story. “The Legend of Grape Island,” which the poet contributes to the collection, is a long poem, in blank verse, styled somewhat after “Evangeline.” Besides the poems of the Kanknkee the volume will contain many miscellaneous verses.

In Illinois it has been the law for several years to have the personal property assessment lists published and the results are said to have Jjeen excellent. The publication shows the people the exact amount of the personal assessment of every taxpayer. A bill was introduced in the late legislature of this state providing for the same thing in Indiana, but was killed. The Democrat believes in the fullest publicity of all matters connected with public business, and to this end is in favor of the publication of every matter in which the public is financially interested. The greatest safeguard that can be placed around public office and the administration thereof is publicity, a fact which every intelligent citizen realizes. For | the information of the public The Democrat this week begins the publication of the personal assessment lists of Rensselaer, and the publication will be continued in alphabetical order until all have been published, probably running through about three issues. The list as it appears does not include those who are assessed only poll tax. The figures are totals taken direct from the assessment sheets of the assessor as sworn to by the taxpaper The work of copying this list for publication is necessarily laborious, but if we have the time to copy them we shall, in addition to Rensselaer, publish the assessment of Marion and Carpenter townships and of Remington. By preserving the copies in which the publications are made you will have a complete list of every taxpayer and his personal property assessment for the year 1901.

Thg Sam* Old Story. J. A. Kelly relates an experience similar to that which has happened in almost every neighborhood in the the United .states and has been told and re-told by thousands of others.

The trouble was controlled much quicker than former attacks when I used other remedies." Mr. Kelly is a well known citizen of Anderson, N. C. For sale by Lm-B-LOOK HERE.
