The long drouth at Wolcott was broken last week when Ab. Ellis opened his saloon under license granted by the circuit court of White county on appeal from a remonstrance. Another application for license will be made at the April meeting of the commissioners of that county, and it is likely Wolcott will have two booze joints in operation for the next three months, or until a county election is held there, when, if the county votes dry, they must go out of business within 90 days thereafter. Goodland Herald: “Last Sunday three young fellows went to Remington and acted very ungentlemanly, and in a way were a discredit to our town. While in Remington they broke windows in the elevator and lumber yard buildings. Remington parties concerned notified Marshal Morin the first of the week and he investigated the mattter .and found out who the boys were, but as this was their first offense we will not publish their names. However, they are requested to make good the damage done in Remington or be prosecuted.

A failing tiny nerve—no larger than the finest silken thread—takes from the Heart its impulse, its power, its regularity. The Stomach also has its hidden, or inside nerve. It was Dr. Shoop who first told us it was wrong to drug a weak or failing Stomach, Heart or Kidneys. His prescription—Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—ls directed straight for the cause of these ailmeniß—these weak and faltering inside nerves. This, no doubt clearly explains why the Restorative has of late grown so rapidly in popularity. Druggists say that those who test the Restorative even for a few days soon become fully convinced of Its wonderful merit. Anyway, don’t drug the organ. Treating the cause of sickness is the only sensible and successful way. Sold by all dealers.

NORTH DAKOTA LETTER. Lari more, Nt>. Dak, Mob 17. Editor Democrat—l take pleasure in sending you a remittance for The Democrat which we have come to consider a household necessity. Through Its columns we are enabled to learn the most important happenings of old Jasper and also a part of Newton county, from which we are always eager to hear. We hay® passed our second winter in North Dakota, and am glad to say we have not frozen yet. But will be justified in Baying it gets '& little frosty here at times. We have had It as cold as 40 below here, but as a whole I really think we have better winters than you have in Indiana, for most of the winter through, the mercury ranges around the zero mark, and it seems very healthful, I think for that reason. I am prepared to farm for myself the coming season, will work the same farm that we have lived on since we have struck this state. I have met most of the immigrants that have, come here from and surrounding counties, and will say they are all an enterprising looking class and seem to be satisfied with their change. This leaves us all well and glad we are still in the Northwest and hope to see more people coming in the futre, for there is pletny of room here for good" farmers. I remain respectfully, ELMER ARNOLD. The thing to do is to always trade at an exclusive clothing and furnishing goods store, as you can always find goods more up-to-date and always find what you want.

WORK PROGRESSING ON STERNBERG DREDGE.

The big Sternberg dredge between here and Guernsey is now ready to cross the air line division of the Monon. J? will require three days to clear the tracks if everything works without hindrance. The Monon company thought of detouring their trains over the main line and Panhandle via Reynolds, but this was abandoned Monday when it was found that the curve at the Monticello Y was too short for the long coaches, which was demonstrated by a special train run from this place. The detour will therefore be made by building a new track where the dredge is operating. The dredge wilk be mowing its way east of the Monon track Inside of ten days, and trains will be crossing the ditch on a new bridge. It Is expected that the canal will find an outlet In old Tip by the time snow falls next winter. There will be a fall of 76 feet In the Last mile before reaching the river, whereas the present decline is at the ratio of a foot to the mile. It requires a seven foot stage of water to float the big digger which throws out the dirt five yards per minute, or two and a half yards per dip.—Monon News.

COOPERS ARE FOUND GUILTY

Jury Returns Verdict of Second Degree Crime. PRISON FORT WENT WEARS Outcome of the Celebrated Trial at Nashville, Term., of Three Men Charged with the Murder of Farmer Senator Carmack—Attorney* for the Defense Move to Bet Aside the Verdict—Judge Announces He Will Lis* ten to Arguments Later. The jury in the case of Colonel Duncan Cooper, Robin Cooper, and John D. Sharp, at Nashville, Tenn., charged with the murder of former - Senator Edward W. Carmack, returned a verdict finding both of the Coopers guilty

DUNCAN B. COOPER

Sharp had been released the previous day by a preliminary verdict. The sentence in each case is twenty years. J/lotion for New Trial. Immediately the defense moved to set aside the verdict because of the verdict of disagreement of Friday, and asked the court to declare it a mistrial. Judge Hart said he would listen to arguments on this motion later. * The court then fixed the defendants’ bonds at $25,000 each, which was acceptable to both sides. The first bondsman to arrive was John J. Greener, who signed for SIO,OOO on each bond. „ Several others bad been sent for and telephoned that they would 'come as quickly as automobiles would bring them. In a few moments Walter O. Parmer arrived and signed for the balance. “I will sign for a million for these men,’’ he remarked. James E. Cald-

ROBIN COOPER.

well later signed for 125,000 on each bond and H. B. Chadburn and C. W. Anderson for $2,500 each on each bond. This makes the total bonds in both cases SIIO,OOO, although only $50,000 was asked. The verdict, coming after Foreman Burke's declaration of the previous day that “we are hopelessly tied up as to the Coopers," was a surprise. The defendants took it almost without emotion. Mrs. Burch and Mrs. Wilson, the daughters of Colonel Copper, were brave. Mrs. Burch sat with her arm around her brother Robin’s shoulder and Mrs. Wilson was at her father's right The suspense for the two young women bad been terrible and a verdict was 4. relief. Remarkable Murder Case. The Cooper-Sharp trial was one of the most remarkable murder cases in the history of the south, not only because of the prominence of the principals in the tragedy, but because of the reasons that led to the killing. Carmack and Colonel Cooper were the best of friends In years past bat became estranged during the campaign which resulted in the defeat of Carmack for re-election to the United States sonata. The shooting of Carmack was the result of editorials published in the former senator's paper. After a number of attacks Colonel Cooper seat the famous message to Carmack: “If my name appears in The Tennessean again, one of ns must die,"

EASY TO MIX THIS,

Simple Recipe for Kidney or Bladder Trouble or Rheumatism. , What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, which ft said to be a positive remedy for® backache or kidney or bladder derangement, if taken before the stag' of Bright’s disease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kgrgon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A well-known druggist herb -at home, when asked regarding this prescription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good prescriptidn pharmacy, or the mixture would be put up If asked to do so. He further stated* that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflictions With splendid results, he could see no reason why It would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and hackache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial.
