The Newton county grand jury has this week been investigating the old Baldwin & Dague bank failure at Goodland, which occurred last fall. It will be remembered that the bankers claimed their bank was perfectly solvent and that every depositor would soon be paid in full. Neirly one year has gone by since the failure and only a very small per cent has been paid in dividends thus far. It is now thought by many that these claims of solvency and the delay in making their promises good was for the purpose of staving off criminal prosecution until too late to do any thing, in other words until the statute of limitation had expired.

An Immense amount of stone lies piled up on the bank of the river where it was put by the dredge and there will be a large amount left after the roads are all completed that are now under contract. The county is working on the pile behind the River Queen Mill, C. S. Chamberlain’s and Delos Thompson’s; the stone road contractors are working from the Washington street bridge up and down the river, on the east side, and will no doubt clean up this part of the bank before they are through. On the west side they are working down the river and have a considerable strip cleared off toward the creamery bridge, but up the river the second deposit made by the dredge is all there yet except that under the Washington street bridge, that having removed several days ago. Some very fine specimens of fish are being caught out of the river channel above the dredge. These include bass, salmon and cats. T. W. Haus tried his luck Wednesday and secured some very fine ones, or, to be more exact, would have secured some fine ones if they had known he wanted them to bite. He Is a little out of practice in this line.

BABY’S ITCH EASILY CURED.

Infantile Eczema Quickly Relieved External Use of Oil of Wintergreen Compound. Infantile eczema, which has baffled the skill of the best physicians for so many years at last seems to be curable^—and curable with great ease. Results of the last two years indicate conclusively that baby’s itch, Infantile eczema and other skin diseases of children can be very simply cured by the application of a compound composed of oil of Wintergreen, thymol and glycerine, as in D. D. D. Prescription. The Rev. Lewis Steeley, of Weatherly, Pa., writes: “Our baby boy’s little face was dreadfully covered with eczema that blood and water ran from the sores nearly all the time. After using 3% bottles of D. D. D. Prescription we are so happy to tell you lie is entirely cured and the disease has never broken out again. If this letter is in any way a help to other sufferers, you may publish it.” If you have a child which is suffering with this terrible itch, we are sure you will not neglect one hour to give your baby the right kind of relief. We have seen too often how quickly the remedy mentioned above takes the itch away at once and how all the cures seem to be permanent; we have seen this too often to hestitate at all in the recommending the remedy for your children.
