Core DriIIers at GAINESVILLE.

York Bros, who have contract with
the Keystone Oil and Gas Company to
drill series of holes in this territory,
completed the core hole on the A. J.
Bush land west of town and are now To-
Gated for their second hole on land be-
longing to Uncle John Reeves one mile
east and a mile south Of the last hole.
We understand that they are making
fine progress with the drilling being
now down something more than 200 feet.
No one is authorized to give any in
formation concerning what has been
found but the general impression is that
the findings have been of a very salts
factory nature, and it is confidently be-
lieved that an immense bed of coal I'M
derlies this territory.
| Mr.. G. w. York, who has personal
charge of the drilling here, went to St.
Louis Friday, for the purpose of buying
a new diamond drill but we are not in
, formed whether it is the purpose to
ship the machine here or not. If the
second machine is to be shipped here it
simply means that the Oil company de-
sires to complete the work of prospect
ing at the earliest possible moment, so
that if shaft is to be sunk work on
that could be started soon as possible.
W. II. Brown, who is drilling pros.
pect hole southeast of town, is still at
work and we understand is now making
fair progress, but no information has
been given out as to what has been
found. He also has a contract for sink.
ing another hole after the one he is now
on is completed.
The outlook here is very promising as
there seems little doubt that this terri.
tory is over large field of coal, and il
this proves true, there is no doubt that
the company will open up mines. And
then-well, watch this little village get
great big hump on itself. 1t will be
the center of the universe and all dis.
tances will be measured from GAINESVILLE
Gainesville News.

Horned Rabbit.

A horned rabbit has been on enhibi-
ton in window of the Hamilton gro
Gerry in Glenwood and has attracted
much attention. 1t is one of the COM
mon burrowing Dummies that are numer-
GUS around Glenwood, with the addi-
ton of horn about two inches long
placed in the center of the top Of the
head, just forward Of the ears. This
horn is hard and bony, we'll pointed, and
seems to be the real thing.
The rabbit was caught by one Of
William Hunts sons while hunting near
Henton, and his boys tell us that some
time ago they killed another just like it
in the hills.
This recalls the fact that year ago
other horned rabbits were reported in
the Waubonsie hills, Is miles from
where this one was caught, and sug.
gests the possibility of that feature
coming to be regular thing with rab.
bits in general or at least with rabbits
in this locality.-Glenwood Tribune.

MAKE 1T YOURSELF.
Tells the Readers of This Paper How
To Prepare the Mixture at
Home and other Advice.

Now is the time when the doctor gets
busy, and the patent medicine manufac-
turers reap the harvest, unless great
care is taken to dress warmly and keep
the feet dry. This is the advice of an
old eminent authority, who says that
rheumatism and kidney trouble weather
is here, and also tells what to do in
case Of an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dan
delion, one-half ounce Compound Kar-
gon, three ounces Compound Syrup sar-
saparilla. Mix by shaking in a bottle
and take teaspoonful after meals and
at bedtime.
Just try this simple homemade mix
ture at the first sign of rheumatism, or
if your back aches or you feel that the
kidneys are not acting just right.
This is said to be a splendid kidney reg
ulator, and almost certain remedy for
all forms of rheumatism, which is caused
by uric acid in the blood, which the kid
neys fail to filter out. Anyone can easily
prepare this at home and at small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these in
gradients, or, if our readers prefer, they
will compound the mixture for them.

How TO Cure
Your Piles
Due Often To Carelessness or Neglec,
and Stubborn TO Cure

The knife is not always necessary to
cure even desperate cases of piles" says
q physician whose years and experience
make him an authority. Indeed" he
says further: II have known some very
aggravated cases of long standing cured
by simple home remedy that restored
to the bowels easy natural daily move
ments."
And the doctor is right, as many letters
from cured people in various parts Of
the country prove. II sufferers from
piles, rectal tumors and ulcers would try
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin they would
often save themselves the terrible pain
and danger and the heavy expense of a
severe surgical operation.
Piles are often due to constipation
and are always aggravated by it. Easy
natural movements of the bowels such
as are invariably produced by this fam
Gus laxative without pain or grippe do
much to restore normal, healthy condi-
ton to the bowels and thus cure piles.
M. H. Miller, Moweaque, ILL.,, says: II
have been troubled all my life with piles
brought on by constipation. I tried many
doctors and numerous remedies, but
found no relief until used DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. have used it as a lax
ative and stomach remedy for the past
nine years and have no more troubles with
piles" H N. John, Minneapolis, Kan, says
he suffered for four years with piles which
were so bad that he could not work.
Four bottles of DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin cured him, and he says he has not
been bothered since.
DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is safe
sure remedy for constipation, restoring
easy natural daily movements in the
worst old chronic cases. yet so mild and
pleasant to take mothers give 1t to their
babies with splendid results It is sold
by all druggists at SOC and $1.OO per
bottle Pepsin Syrup Co., 3O2 Caldwell
Bldg, Monticello. ILL.,. will send free
sample to anyone who has not used II
and will give it a fair trial.
