ANOTHER FAKE SCHEME.

DeSmet Independent: What looks
TO be rank fake has been worked re-
Gently upon number of farmers in
this locality. BY one Of the victims
we are Informed that one Leslie
Young represents that he is securing
members for farmers union" and
that the dues in such organization for
Ave years will amount to $3.50 dues
payable annually, to be paid in five
installments Of SOTO each. AS an
inducement to sign an application for
membership this man Young repre-
SCENTS that the farmers produce can be
marketed through this union at a
great advance in price. For instance
eggs would net the farmer from 80 to
IS cents per dozen during the year, or
twice the usual price; all kinds Of
grain could be sold at an advance of
several cents per bushel over the To-
cal and even real estate could be sold
through the concern without commits
sion. All kinds of farm machinery
could be bought through the union at
Is to 20 per cent less that retail price,
and so on through the list.
Another insiucement was a medt-
icine for home veterinary work on
the farm. The farmer is asked to
sign the application or contract and
pay %. 90 for what are termed mail
ing fees. = This done, in due course
OF time the farmer receives his medi-
cine cabinet from the Universal Stock
Food Cabinet Co., together with a
certificate that entities him to free
consultation on veterinary subjects by
mail. Also, in due course Of time he
finds q note for $5s. so at some bank,
the note due in the fall and drawing
10 per cent interest from date n the
full amount. The certificate received
from the farmer is also signed by
Leslie Young as president Of the
company We are told by the victim
that the medicine cabinet is useless,
and that he actually gets no value at
all for his money. This man Young
attempted to sell fifteen such notes to
the Germania State Bank in this city,
but without success. There is talk
by some Of the victims Of trying to
start 9 prosecution.

Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is great suf-
ferer from Rheumatism, and DR..
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G. DAVENPORT,
Royceheld, N. J.
The pains Of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.

WOOL BUYERS BUSY.

Wool buyers are busy in the coun-

are scattered from the many local
points on the two roads across the
western part of the state, instead of
being conferred at this city as in past
years. The total shipments from the
country between here and the Black
Hills probably will be as large as
former years, but they will be scat
tered and no one place will make a
large showing. The price paid is
around 25 cents, with some clips go

Upon the recommendation Of Gov.
Stubbs of Kansas the state peniten-
tiary of Kansas has adopted a novel
requirement for paroling or pardon
ing of prisoners. Hereafter when a
convict is to be liberated by parole or
pardon, he will be required to pledge
in writing that he will regularly at
tend church, Sunday school and
prayer meeting each week. A paroled
prisoner who failed to keep this
pledge could be returned to prison.
The governor says this is the kind Of
influence which ought to surround
men or women emerging from prison.
He will make penitence prerequisite
of pardon.

COURT HOUSE
IS ASSURED
Luna County to Have q
Handsome $4,000
Building.

The much mooted courthouse
question in Luna county is prac-
tically settled by the preliminary
steps for the construction of a
handsome structure for the
county in Deming having been
taken. This bit of good news
will be hailed with JOY by a big
majority of the citizens of Luna
county. 1t has long been a cry
ing need Of the county and its
construction will be q wise and
judicious move.
At the present session OF the
county commissioners the board
adopted the plans for the court
house Of w. B. Corwin, the well
known architect of Deming. An
other set OF plans was also sub
mitted by an Ell Paso architect but
the plans of Mr.. Corwin were so
far superior that the commits
sioners unanimously agreed to
accept them. The plans have
been expertly executeda and when
the building is put up in accord
ance with them Luna county
will have q courthouse she can
well feel proud Of.
The building is not to cost tc
exceed $4,000 and is 10 be fire.
proof and modern in every de-
tail. The floors are to be made
Of REINFORCED concrete.
Mr.. Corwin has been paid a
retainer's fee of 5000 and will
be the experimenting architect.
At the next regular meeting
OF the commissioners, in July.
che courthouse matter will be
fully disposed Of and we can
expect to see actual work start
on the building in a short time
from that date.
The taxpayers can rest assur-
red that there will be no graft
worked in, but on the other
hnl the peoples interests will
be carefully guarded. The gen.
tlemen composing our board oi

chiseled and there is no danger

of Missionary Ridge winning him the
