Frank G. Bigelow, the Milwaukee banker who recently stole over $1,000,000 has, on a plea of guilty of violation of the national banking laws, been sentenoed to ten years at hard labor in the Federal Penitentiary at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., the sentence beginning at noon Saturday. The McCoys, who got away with nearly half a million of their depositors’ money, more than a year ago, are still breathing the free air of liberty and not one penny dividends has been paid to the hundreds of deluded victims. By the time the trustee gets paid for his stewardship and the attorneys get a slice of the assets, it is hoped there will still be a few dollars left to divide among the many dupes ot the MoCoys. But when this will be is still very problematical.

In The Democrat’s report last week it stated that the receipts for the poor farm for the quarter ending May 31, 1905, were 1724.04, and expenses $520.26. The report of receipts itemized are as follows: Maroh 10, J. E, Flynn, 4S» bu. 47 lb. wheat at $1.02 per buahe1........... .S4OB 90 Ben Kins’, hay 12 50 J. Pa rkl n son, hay 2187 Jam ex Yeoman, 20 head hogH.Mpercwt 215 00 J. H. Ounyon. hay 4 27 Total $724 04 The report of stock on hand shows, among other thing, 9 cows and 100 hens, and all reports show about the same as to these two items. There has not been a report made for a long time of any butter or eggs sold from the farm. The Democrat does not believe that the inmates of the poor asylum get tonst and eggs more than once a day, at least, and nine cows ought to make more butter than oould possibly be consumed there. In fact, the butter and eggs alone -ought to buy every dollar’s worth of groceries consumed on the farm, during the spring and summer at least. The writer has seen produce from this farm unloaded at stores in Rensselaer, and, notwithstanding that this produce belongs to the taxpayers of Jasper county and to no one else, not a dollar's worth has been reported that we have sen, and wo have looked the reports over carefully, too.

James Darlymple, the municipal ownership expert of Glasgow, Scotland who came to this country to show Chicago how to manage her street railways under city ownership, has given the advocates of publio utilities the cold ohills by saying that his observations here have convinced him that publio ownership of this kind is not practicable in this country; that there is too much politics in everything here to ever make such management a success. In this The Demoorat has not the least doubt but the Scotchman is entirely oorrect. Under our system of placing political pets and ward heelers in charge of the management of such utilities, eoonomy and fitness out little figure, but the fellow who has performed some political service or who is able to buy a position from the ward heelers who have the giving ont of the places, get the position of trust and responsibility. We. do not know of any instance of munioipal or publio ownership in this country that is really a success, notwithstanding all the loud talk to the contrary by those who are sharing in the many orumbs that fall from the publio ownership table. Equal servioe can

and would ‘-be furnished at one-| third less cost under private ownership and also pay good dividends on the investments if city councils would bat insist on a schedule of rates and service when granting such franchises.

Periodic Pains. Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy; for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick headache, or any of the distressing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an exhausted condition, it is wrong .to suffer a moment longer than necessaiy, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first indication of an attack. If taken as directed you have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no disagreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. "For a. long time I have suffered greaUy with spells of backache, that seem almost more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I bebcpan the use of Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pile, and they always relieve me In s short time. My sister, who suffers the same way, has used them with the same results." MRS. PARK. 721 8. Michigan St., South Bend, Ind. Dr. Miles’ Antl-Paln Pills art sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first package will benefit. If it falls he will return your money. . 25 doses, 25 cents. Never sold In bulk.
