Under date of Deo. 11, Theo. Phillips, former trustee of Gillam tp„ writes The Demoorat from Lake Wood, New Mexico, in renewing his subscription for another year, and says, among other things: “This leaves us about the same as when we left Indiana.

It is a great health resort, hundreds of people coming to this valley for the oure of long trouble.”

Pulaski County Democrat: This story is going the rounds of the papers hereabout, and we wonder if it is sc: “Farmers over in Huntington county are making use of rather an unique plan to get rid of the water on their marshes. They are digging deep wells in the low places, and when the sand is reached it seems to act all the parts of an open or tile ditch, and is much the cheaper.”

J. O. Cline returned from Lafayette Wednesday where he had been in the .hospital having his injured eye treated. He says the doctor wauted to remove the eye, but this he objects to having done.

His friends hope that the eye may yet be saved, although this is almost a forlorn hope.

JlThe little son of F. P. Morton, of near Pleasant Ridge, whose eye was injured several weeks ago by a nail which he was driving into a board flying back and striking him, is recovering slowly from the injury.

Wolcott Enterprise: A report has been in circulation for the past week or two to t he effect that Wolcott had gone “dry,” and the report is as yet untrue. No notice of application has been given and no remonstrance has been filed, though it is pretty generally understood that there are enough names to make a suitable majority for one, and that it will probably be filed at the proper time. The exact majority is known, if at all, to only one or two.

The Brazil Democrat gives this timely advise to its readers: “All the Sunday papers are full of swindling schemes which they run as advertising matter for big pay, but which there is not the least doubt are gross grafting games pure and simple. These tricks to obtain the money of the unwary are not confined to oil stock, gold mining stock or gas stock, but now the latest4s a diamond mine that holds out its fatuous hands and appeals to the man or woman who has a little money saved up against old age or a rainy day, to part with their little all and exchange it for paper at ten cents a share. The advise of the Democrat is to let all these swindles alone.”

The trial of U. B. Kellogg, the alleged Canadian laud swindler, who euchered some two score of people here out of about SSO each, is still od at Lafayette as The Democrat goes to press. Kellogg was on the stand Wednesday and Thursday and among other things testified that C. W. Murray of Rensselaer and A. P. Bample of Merrill, Wis., (formerly of Rensselaer) were sub-agents of his. He admitted ou cross-examination that he bad registered at various hotels under assumed names, frequently using Sample’s name. He claimed that all the proceeds from the “land sales,” exoept his per cent, he bad turned over to the “company.” Doctor* Could Not Help her. “I bad kidney trouble for yeara.” writes Mrs. Raymond Conner, of Sbelton, Wash., “and the doctors could not help me. I tried Foley’s Kidney Cure, and tbe very tint doae gave me relief, and lam now cured. I cannot aay too mncb for Foley’s Kidney Cure.” It makes the diaeased kidney* sound so they will eliminate tbe poison* from tbe blood. Unless they do this,good health Is impossible A. F. Long.
