The Democrat has recently heard
reports of a remarkable cure effected
by DR.. A. III. Weber, the Des Moines
oculist who comes to the Hotel Lewis
once month, and after investigation
we find the reports to be true. The
cure was in the case of Mrs. Scurlock
of Cherokee, whose picture is given
herewith. The case is an interesting
one and will attract attention both
from scientific standpoint and in the
interest of humanity in general Mrs.
Scurlock has had her sight restored
after seventeen years of blindness.
She has daughter Ii years of age
whom she has never seen until three
months ago.
Mrs. Scurlock was afflicted with
cataracts which rendered her totally
blind.
According to her own story she had
been treated by oculists without the
least benefit, and gave up all hope of
ever seeing again, when friends told
her of DR.. Weber having cured many
difficult cases of eye trouble. 81 called
on him." said Mrs. Scurlock, "and
when he informed me that he could
restore my sight it seemed too good to
be true. He has done so to my perfect
satisfaction. DIR. Weber removed the
cataracts painlessly."
Mrs. Scurlock has recently called at
this office and her sight seems to be as
good as that of the ordinary person.
She has good reason to feel overlooked
and is unstinting in her lpraise of DR..
Weber and his miraculous cure.-The

Referred to Referee.

The Pickens disrensary case 's
hung up until testimony can be taken.
This morning Chief Justice Pope, in
Newberry, after hearing arguments
in the mandamus case, issued an
order to the effect that as the case
involved constitutional points which
should be considered By the whole
supreme court instead of one member
of that body the case was referred to
A. J. Boggs, as special referee to
take testimon; and report the same
with conclusions on or before the
second Tuesday in September.
This means that unless the board
of directors decide to reopen the dis
pensary there that the county OF
Pickens will be dry until tie case IS
decided. The writ of mandamus was
brought by certain parties of Pickens
through W. Boyd Evans as attorney
to compel the county board to order
the dispensary reopened on the
grounds that the election was illegal.

Graft in Cotton Reports.

Washington, July 1.-THE investi-
CATION into the "leak" as to cotton
reports of the agricultural depart.
ment has reached the stage where
the truth of the charges made by
the Southern Cotton Association are
found to be true.
The secret service detectives who
have been working on the case for
nearly month are said to have dis
covered indisputable evidence that
corrupt ring exists among the en-
ployes of the department from which
Wall street spectators have been
able to obtain pretty close idea OF
the character of the cotton report
several days in advance of it's publ
cation. Through their Investigation
among brokerage concerns in New
York and other large cities they have
learned that certain government en-
ployes, closely connected with collec-
ton and compilation of cotton statis-
tics, have been dealing in the cotton
market. Even though an employe
of the department should not actually
give out figures large order from
him to brokers between the first and
third of the month to buy or sell
cotton would be a sufficient hint to
the broker as to the nature of the
forthcoming report. The present in
vestigatioL will probably be followed
next winter by q congressional in
quiry into the whole subject Of gov.
ernment reports and question as to
whether it would not be desirable to
abolish them altogether

erable change in the color of corn.
Cotton is looking very we'll and is
very full of fruit. Gardens are dried
up, and We RE having some trouble
in getting stand of peas on account
of the dry weather.
Well, Mr.. Editor, it seems it is
about time for the old political pot
to commence to simmer and that
some of the new politicians may have
q sip at the broth. It seems by
what We see in the papers, that the
issue will be Dispensary, anti Dis
pensary or Prohibition. Well, you
know, there must be some new issues
sprung to give the politicians some
thing to go before the dear people
with, or they could not get the voters
ont to vote. But I guess it is all
right anyway, things have to make
change. It would not be we'll for
everything to 60 right along in the
same old rut. People would know
two we'll how to calculate for the
future.

as to whether they can be reopened

that the dispensary would have to
stay closed as many OF the points
raised were those of fact and that as

Inspector Loses Money.

Inspector Loses Money.
Nearly sixteen hundred dollars in
the possession of Dispensary Inspect
or C. S. Brown disappeared last
Wednesday and there is absolutely
no trace of it anywhere. The money
has now been paid to the State and
the story of it's disappearance is one
of the most peculiar ever heard of by
the dispenssry officials.
It seems that Inspector Brown
was sent to Charleston on business
connected with his duties and while
there checked up the books of Dis
penser B. 81. Matthews. He found
that there was shortage Of $1,000
and an order for tie payment was at
once made. Matthews paid Brown
in cash and on Browns arrival in
Columbia he reported to Commis.
sioner Tatum that the money had
absolutely disappeared. Brown says
that be was not intoxicated, but that
in some way he was robbed. just
how, he does not know.
BE does know that he received the
money from Matthews and the latter
has receipt to show that the short
age was made good.
There was naturally discussion
as to how the money should be made
up, and the law right there is very
defective as to collection on an in
spector's bond. Finally, however,
the amount was raised for the com.
missioner, who insisted that the
State should not lose. Inspector
Brown has been temporarily sus-
pended and is now endeavoring to
trace the money.

the pure food law has ruined any
grocery man in thesstate | have
not asked for feature in House
Bill No..27 that l do not sincerely
believe is for the bestinterest Of
all the people Of North Dakota.
/ am confident that the enforce
ment of this law would work no
hardship on any honest manu-
factHrcr or producer of patent
m edicines and proprietary pro-
ducts more than the pure food
law has done on the producer of
honest food products. This law
will weed out some frauds. It
will unmask the true nature of
some things that the people have
a right to know about. 1t will
force the dishonest manufacture
er of low grade drugs to make
his goods standard.
I say frankly to the members
of the legislature and the people
of North Dakota that if House
Bill Nc. II is enacted into a law
in it's present form, at the endo Of
two years I predict this will be
as popular a measure as has been
the pure food law. Do not be
misled by the few who do not
care to have their business meth
DDS made public and so are
trying to brighten the druggists
and to force the newspapers into
opposition to the measure by
threatening to withdraw their
medicines and their advertising.
Nothing of the kind will happen
for any great length of time.
You have a food law considered
as a model law. Shall we have a
similar drug law?
