FOR MAYOR OF DES MOINES. Mr. J. I. Myerly, whose cut appears above, is one of our self-made, nativeborn Des Moines boys, born in this city in 1866. He soon afterwards moved to the country with his parents, where he was raised up to manhood. Later he was raised up to Des Moines, where time in the high school and so industrious while in school he delivered the Daily Register early of mornings. He is a graduate from the Drake law school and admitted to the bar, and entered the practice of law where he has followed that profession till now. He was elected alderman once in a legislative worker, delegate to different republican conventions; a logical and convincing speaker; is a friend to the laboring man and it Mayor of Des Moines AS TRUE AS GOSPEL. There is always compensation. Our angels go out that our archangels may come in. Unhappy is the man for whom his own mother has not made all other mothers venerable. It is poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mein, inventions and actions of others. What an absurd thing it is to pass over the valuable parts of a man, and fix our attentions on his infirmities. Virtue will catch as well as vice by contact; and the public stock of honest, manly principle will daily accumulate. A greater value should be set on having received instructive and useful lessons than of possessing great store of wealth; for the latter is transitory good; the former is durable. There is scarcely a generalization for one sex which does not apply equally to the other, so perfectly alike in nature are men and women. The difference is only in circumstances. elected will give our city a good, clean, strong and healthy business government, and his many friends are working actively in his behalf. PADEBEWSKI COMING.

Blessed beyond all earthly blessings is the man who in the tempestuous darkness of the soul has dared to hold fast to these venerable landmarks. Thrice blessed is he who, when all is drear and cheerless within and without, when his teachers terrify him and his friends shrink from him, has obstately clung to moral good—thrice blessed, because his night shall pass No. 35.

His many friends are working very hard to secure his nomination. While he has some enemies who crisicise his administration, but crecit him with being personally clean and good habits. He has worked for the upbuilding of the city, and his fearless position upon the advanced lines of municipal ownership, has attracted the attention of the largest American cities, and his election to the presidency of the League of American Municipalities is an evidence of his ability and qualification. He is a young man and has a bright future before him. It was through very urgent solicitation that his friends induced him to run. He has saved the city and taxpayers several thousand of dollars on the waterworks alone. He has reduced the rates until $25,000 annually is saved, $20,-000 is annually saved 20,000 on the lighting of our city and other things in proportion. Every voter should investigate the merits of the present Mayor and the platform he stands on before making up his mind who they will support. Subscribe for the Bvatander.

Dark Coefficient is Undergoing a Wonderful Transformation. From the Forum: The twentieth century Africa promises startling contrasts when compared with the Africa of the nineteenth century. With an area four times as great as that of the United States, a population of 150,000,000, a soil and climate capable of infinite variety of production, a rapidly expanding commerce, and the greatest known supplies of ivory, gold and diamonds, its development under the modern methods which are now being applied to it is practically assured. The home of the oldest civilization, it is the last of the continents to yield to the touch of the newest civilization. But yesterday enveloped in darkness of mystery without and ignorance within, it is today illuminated by the searchlight of modern methods, and as its importance and attractions are being recognized, with this recognition come development. With 2,000,000 Europeans scattered over its vast area, acquainting themselves with its natural conditions and requirements, with the steamer, the railroad, the telegraph and the telephone carrying light and knowledge and civilization to its darkest corner. Africa cannot long remain unknown or unknowing. It was only after the explorers—Livingstone, Speke, Stanley and others—had discovered, through persistent and heroic effects, that there existed vast navigable water ways above the falls near the mouths of the great streams which flow from the interior that European nations awoke to the physical and commercial possibilities of Africa, and then, in a twinkling, the dark continent was seized upon and divided up and became, as by magic, a vast European "hinterland." Between 1834 and 1898 an area two and a half times the size of the United States, and containing a population of 100,000,000, was parceled out by an agreement of the European powers. At present scarcey a foot of African territory remains unclaimed. AFTERTHOUGHTS. Many a man wouldn't be nearly so lucky if he depended on luck. One's admiration for oneself is largely due to the limitations of mirrors. It is when we become rich or famous that we find out where are the friends of our youth. Don't abuse the world because it abuses you, because the percentage is always against you. The shrewd man does not openly condemn another for being an ass; nor does he cry him down; nor yet shun him; for he knows that the ass, though a little slow of movement and comprehension, is a very convenient beast of burden, and, remembering work of his own that should be done, he profits by his knowledge. Iowa State Bystander. BY BYSTANDER PUB. CO. DES MOINES, IOWA. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2. THROUGH A WOMAN'S EYES. Special to the Bystander Chicago, Ill.-Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett left Wednesday, January 24, for Baltimore, Md., where she has a lecture engagement. From there Mrs. Barnett will go to Washington, D.

It is a sign of hopefulness that the race has learned to appreciate such a clear-headed, Washington May his tribe increase. "Quo Vadis," the novel written by the Pole with the unpronounceable name, which has since been dramatized and adapted by the McVickers, and Hall Calne's powerful work, entitled "The Christian," are the books most discussed by literary critics. It is the book that the most successful novel of the seasons are those which may be properly spoken of as religious. "In His Steps" have been dramatized, with the exception of the one presented, cannot fail to help lessen the immoralities of the stage.

Knights and Ladies of Honor of the World 1878 Victoria Lodge—meets every Monday evening at Webster's Hall conference of friends and friends of Wood, Procter Moss, Bob Johnson, Sacramento GOEBEL SWORN IN. Dying Man Propped Up With Pillows Takes the Oath. FRANKPORT, Ky., Feb. 1.—William Goebel was shortly before 9 o'clock last night sworn in as governor of Kentucky, and J. C. W. Beckman, a few minutes later took the oath of lieutenant Governor. The oath was administered to both men by Chief Justice Hazlerigg of the court of appeals. A statement was prepared saying that the boards which had heard the contest for governor and lieutenant governor had decided in favor of Goebel and Beckman; that the boards intended to report their findings to the legislature, but that they had been prevented from doing so by the action of Governor Taylor in declaring the legislature adjourned. This statement then goes on to say that the members of the legislature were driven from place to place by the militia and threatened with arrest wherever they attempted to hold a meeting. It was declared the statement that Goebel and Beckman were the legally elected governor and lieutenant governor, and each man as he signed the paper announced that he voted for the adoption of the majority report for the adoption of the boards which declared Goebel and Beckman to be the men legally and rightfully entitled to the offices. The statement is signed by a majority of the members of both houses. Mr. Goebel as soon as he was assured that he was legally governor of Kentucky took prompt action regarding the military arm of the service. Two orders were quickly prepared for his signature, the first of which discharged General Daniel Collier from office and appointed General John B. Castleman of Louisville as his successor. The second was addressed to the commanders of the militia now stationed in this city, directing them to return to their homes. Among the militia in Frankfort 300 men announce that they will obey Goebel's orders. FRANKFORT, Feb. 1.—The doctors agree that Senator Governor cannot live. Nothing but his wonderful vitality and nerve has kept him alive thus far. His assassin has not been arrested and there is no hope that he will be. Governor Taylor and the militia have complete control of the situton. FRANKFORT, Ky., Feb. 1.—When the members of the legislature attempted to enter the capitol yesterday morning they were stopped by Col. Williams and a detachment of troops and the following proclamation of the governor was handed to them: "Whereas, a state of insurrection prevails in the capital city, especially in Frankfort, the capital thereof. Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the governor, by this proclamation, adjourn at once the general assembly of the state of Kentucky on Friday, the 6th day of February, 1800, at 12 o'clock. The democratic members denounced the proceedings and at once made an effort to secure the opera house, in which they proposed to hold a session. Again the militia interfered. At the court house the were also shut out by the soldiers. 'Going to the Capitol hotel they were met by officers of the militia, who told them any attempt to hold a meeting would be suppressed. Later the democrats were told that no conferences could be held. London is in the "fend" county of the state, which is strongly republican, and while the democrats have not refused to go there they declare their lives would not be safe. Adjunct General Collier threatens to arrest them individually and carry them to London if necessary. Lorikation for Porto Rico. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—The Republicans of the ways and means committee of the house have laid down definite lines upon which the republican leaders of the house have decided to legislate for Porto Rico, so far as tariff duties are concerned. The decision reached is exceedingly important, as it commits the republicans of the ways and means committee to the theory that Porto Rico and the Philippines are not the territory of the United States, within the meaning of that section of the constitution which provides that customs and revenue laws shall be uniform throughout the United States. In other words it commits them to the view that our new possessions can be governed as colonies and that discriminating duties can be laid against them. Slitnation at Ladysmith LADDSMITH, Jan. 28.—Hellographed to Swartz Kop north of Yugela river).—News of the prologion of the siege, resulting from Buller's failure was recooled with fortitude. We can hold on. The garrison is healthier and is cheerful and confident. Disease is disappearing and there is no horse sickness. Rains give plenty of grass. We can hear Buller's guns still working and it is rumored in camp that he is advancing along another line. The Boer lairage have also taken up a new position on the hills near Colenso, where the enemy's reinforcements are apparently arriving from the Transvaal. Large bodies of Boer are also visible between here and Potgetters drift. Bubonic Plague at Honolulu. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1. The steamer Australia, from Honolulu, reports to the time of her departure that forty one deaths from the plague had occur red there out of a total of fifty-two cases. THE NEWS IN IOWA FROZE THEIR BABY TO DEATH. Terrible Act of Religiously Insane Pur- pose in Newport County OTTUMWA, Feb. 1. —Thoroughly crauzed over the subject of religion, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Spencer, residing six miles northwest of Lovilla, in Monroe county, sacrificed their infant to the fanatic belief that they had been called upon by God to make this demonstration of their belief and devoutness. All the clothing was removed from the infant, and thus in its denuded condition it was held out of doors until death resulted from extreme cold. The father had the child in his arms and during the time he remained thus exposed to the elements his hands, and feet were severely frozen. The screams of the little one were heard by the neighbors, who at first were not aware of the awful tragedy that was be enacted. Neighbors passing the house later saw what was being done and after coming to a fall realization of the fact that the parents had gone insane and were in a frenzied condition toward all who attempted to interfere with what they claimed to be a special order from God, organized a crowd and proceeded to place the parents in custody. The father resisted and was only overpowered after a fierce battle. After he had been taken into the house four men were required to keep him quiet. Mr. Spencer is a prosperous farmer and in the community where he resides has always been considered one of the most prominent citizens. Both he and his wife are devout Christians, and of late have been more concerned in their faith. They have three children. HE IS RESTRAINED. Governor Pardona McClainaukey, a Forger, on Many Conditions. DES MOINES, Feb. 2.—Governor Shaw has issued a pardon to C. E. McClaukey, who was sentenced to four years in the state's prison in 1898, for the crime of forgery. In issuing the pardon the governor has inserted many iron bound restrictions. The party convicted must take an oath to support his family, refrain from the use of all intoxicating liquors, live a peaceful and law abiding citizen, and once a month make a report to the chief executive of the state as to where he is laboring, for whom, and what he does with his earnings. In violation of these orders he will be deprived of his liberty and returned to the penitentiary to serve out the remainder of his term. If the paroled should for any reason, insufficient in the eyes of the governor, fail to make the regular monthly report the grounds will be held of a sufficiency to warrant a revocation of the pardon. COL. ROOD NAMED. Gov. Shaw Appoints Him as Larkeee's Successor On the Board of Control. DES MOINES, Jan. 27.—The appointment of Colonel H. H. Rood, of Mount Vernon, to be chairman of the state board of control to succeed ex-Governor William Larkeee, was sent to the senate yesterday. It was received in executive session and according to the provisions of the board of control law, put upon the statute books two years ago, was referred to a committee of five, which is expected to report upon it early next week. The committee consists of Blanchard, Finch and Trewin, republicans, and Young and Lambert, democrats. It is still the general belief that the appointment will not be confirmed by the senate. WERR BYERS IS SEATED. Content-Committee Declares He Is Elected by a Margin of Eleven. DES MOINES, Jan. 27.—The Byers-Batty contest was ended by the seating of Webb Byers, the present incumbent from Shelby county. This was the result of the withdrawal of Geo. Batty, the contestant. The majority discovered by the committee proved to be eleven, when the final count by the attorneys had been made, and Mr. Batty withdrew. In laying out the ballots over which there was dispute, these ballots were paired by the attorneys, and it was found that Byers would still have a majority of eleven votes. It was useless, therefore, for Mr. Batty to continue the fight and he withdrew. Iowa Falls to Get "Healer" James LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 2.—Governor Poyter refused to honor the requisition of the governor of Iowa for the return of "Healer" James, who was indicted by the grand jury of Pottawattamie county, charged with manslaughter in the case of Ethel Yates, the young woman who died under his hands and those of the mother of the girl, recently, in Council Bluffs. The indictment charged willful and felonious manslaughter, but James's attorneys claimed that no crime and been coerced into giving evidence, but could be held for committing an offense for which no penalty is provided by law. Governor Poyter upheld this contention. Fire at Fayette. FATEYR, Feb. 2.—Fire broke out in the business, portion of the city and before it could be gotten under control nine buildings had been reduced to ashes. The loss is estimated at $00,000, not more than half covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. Ghastly Find at Sioux City. SIOUX CITY, Feb. 1.—A ghastly find was made in the office of the United States Express Company, when a box marked "books" was opened and found to contain the decomposed body of a murdered man. NO LEGAL SALOONS. There Are None Operating in Des Moines at Present. Des Moines, Jan. 30.—There is not a legal saloon in the city of Des Moines, and there are few of them in the state of Iowa. This is the effect of a decision handed down by the supreme court. The statements of consent, secured prior to the publication of the new code and upon which the saloons of this city have been operating ever since the new code went into effect, are held to be insufficient, and new ones must be secured before any local malice saloon may operate legally. The opinion which carries this effect with it is a most sweeping one and is a body blow at Des Moines saloons. It is written by Judge Waterman, but is the unanimous holding of the supreme bench. It is the decision which has been anticipated by both saloon men and the prohibitionists of the city ever since the January term of court opened. The saloonkeeper who is made an example of Lorenze Ill, on whom an application for an order was made to show why he should not be punished for violating an injunction against his maintenance of a liquor nuisance. Ill resisted the restraining order on the ground that he had complied with section 17, chapter 62, of the laws of the Twenty-fifth general assembly, which require the filing of a statement of consent signed by a majority of the voters at the last election, and he was therefore legally engaged in the liquor business. The plaintiff in the case, O. C. West, set up a demurrer, declaring that the acts of the Twenty-fifth general assembly were repealed when the new code went into effect, and under the provisions of the new code Ill's statement of consent was insufficient because not canvassed by the board of supervisors. This demurrer was over ruled by Judge Bishop, and the case was appealed. The supreme court reversed the decision of Judge Bishop and holds that a new statement of consent is necessary. ARMY POST FOR DES MOINES. Congressman Hull Gets the Bill Through the House. WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Congressman Hull yesterday called up his bill to authorize the establishment of a military post at Des Moines. Not a word of protest was raised against the bill, and it passed without a single vote in opposition. It will pronably be comparatively easy to secure the endorsement of the senate, and Mr. Hull says he will try to get that body to give the bill early consideration. The people of Des Moines may therefore confidently expect to see an army post established within rifle shot of the heart of the city within a comparatively short time, but the chances are that not until the Philippine war is ended will there be many troops assigned to the new post. GOODRICH ARRESTED. Charged With the Murder of Robson His Partner at Slur City Sioux City, Feb. 2.—Oscar A. Goodrich has been arrested for the murder of John E. Robson of Sioux City December 29. The accused was the former partner of the dead man, has been a resident of Cloux City for many years, and his arrest caused a great sensation. The popular verdict is that he is innocent. Detective Henry Morrison filed the information. The state offered $300 reward for conviction. The whole reward is $1,225.

At Indiana recently Charles Bungardner, an employee in the flouring mill, committed suicide by shooting himself with a 38-calibre revolver. Bungardner came home at noon and ate a very light dinner, after which he went into a bed room, took the revolver from a bureau drawer, and stepping in front of a looking glass, put the muzzle to his right temple and blew out his brains. The dead man was about thirty-five years of age, is married and has three small children. Despondency and insanity are attributed as the cause of the rash deed. CONGRESS WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. The greater portion of the session of the house today was devoted to the memorial of President Hobart.

Is Watching Events in China—Comments of Newspapers. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 30.—Newspapers here are paying considerable attention to the events in China. The Novosti expresses the opinion that the dynasty will last for a long time to come, but adds China will never be able to be restored to her former condition, that "unavoidable work of partition will be accomplished peacefully, though perhaps in the distant future." The Rossija asserts it is not necessary for Russia to take a hand in the coup d'etat, and adds: "A Russo-Japanese alliance is inevitable. It is only a question of time. Meanwhile it is important that the control of the naval and military forces of China does not fall into the hands of the Americans, British or Germans." The paper concludes: "We must keep on the alert and see how the new situation affects the interests of western Europe above all those of England." LAW AGAINST TRUSTS VOID Judge Kohlsaft Declares Illinois Statute of 1893 to Be Unconstitutional. Chicago, Jan. 31.—The Illinois antitrust law of 1893 has been declared unconstitutional by Judge Kohlsaft in the United States circuit court. His opinion was based on the fact that it exempts from its application all agricultural products and live stock while in the hands of the producer or raiser. This characteristic he considered as making it class legislation, in contravention of the federal and state constitutions. The decision was occasioned by a suit brought by the Union Sewer Pipe Company to enforce payment of claims against Thomas Connelly and William Dee, who admitted their debts, but pleaded among other things the provision of the law of 1893, which makes all contracts in violation of its terms void and not enforceable by AMBUSHED INFANTRY.

He simply transmitted a report of Secretary Itay, who says: "In October last General James R. O'Beirne, a distinguished citizen of New York, visited the department of state, intimating that he was the accredited representative of the South African republic.

It is unjust, therefore to blame Russia if she is making preparations regarding the long strip between Persia and Afghanistan." DES MOINES, Feb. 2, 1900. The result of a poll of the house by Stallcop, of Sac, makes the future look black for the normal schools bill. Mr. Stallcop has been quietly looking the matter up for days, and he declares positively the three normal schools bill is beaten in the house. A bill for a woman reformatory at Anamosa has been introduced in the house by Representative Stewart, of Polk. It has the sanction of the board of control and of the organizations such as the W. C. T. U. which have been opposing the methods of the girls' reform school at Michelville. The bill is a long one, requiring in detail points regimented by the organization of the proposed institution. The reformatory shall be in two divisions, a reformatory and a penal section. Both shall be under the management of a woman superintendent to be appointed by the board of control with a salary fixed at $1,000 per year. The departments are to be kept in separate buildings, the reformatory to occupy the building now formally female department of penitentiary and the penal department that portion of the criminal insane building now used by female convicts. The reformatory division is for the care of such women over 16 years of age as may hereafter be convicted of crimes other than murder or of such girls over 14 years of age as the board of control may see fit to transfer from the girls' reformatory the penal school. The penal department is for the safe keeping of girls and women over 16 who have been convicted of the crime of murder or are for other reasons not eligible to the reformatory division.

On the ist day ‘of January, 1900, at 10:20, the hour to ‘which the house of representatives had adjourned, the members ‘thereof at- tempted to assemble in the house in the state capitol for the purpose of performing the duties with which they ‘are charged under the laws of the com- monwealth. At the entrance to the house they wore met by armed soldiers, ‘commanded by the adjutant general of the state, under the orders of the act- ing governor, and the members of the house of representatives were by your soldiers not only refused admittance to ‘the house, but commanded to disperse | asan unlawful assemblage. ‘Thereupon ‘your: sepresentatives attempted to meet ‘at other places within the city of Frankfort, but were pursued by the sol- lors and dispersed at the point of the bayonet. _-._ Deplores Taylor's Action, “Burthermore, as if these unwarrant- ed acts, hitherto unheard of and with- ‘out precedent under any form of gov- ernment, Were not a sufficient assump- ‘tion of jyrannieal powers, notice was then and there attempted to be served upon your representatives by officers that the acting governor had adjourned the general assembly to meet in Lon- don, in a remote mountain county in the heart of that section of the state notorious throughout the nation for its lawlessness, murderous feuds and as- sassins, where he and his predecessors have repeatedly acknowledged their In- ability to enforce the law. This out- rageous usurpation of power and au- thority denied to the legally constitut- ed chief executive of the common- ‘wealth by the constitution, the acting governor attempts to base upon an al- leged state of insurrection which he without warrant of fact declares to ex- ist throughout the state, and especially in the vicinity of Frankfort. Says No Insurrection Exists, “Now, therefore, we, the undersigned representatives of Kentucky, do pro- test to the people of the eommon- wealth: That no insurrection exists or has existed in the vicinity of Frank- tort; that no dangers or indication of dangers exist, except such as have arisen from time to time from the pres- ence of hordes of armed men brought here by the acting governor and his colleagues for the purpose of provoking resentment and counter demonstra- tions on the part of the law-abiding citizens of the state.” Call to Disperso Multia, Mr. Goebel signed another paper which was addressed to the officers in command of the troops here, and called on them to disperse their men at once. In the event the soldiers are not disposed to obey the orders, it 1s declared they would be compelled by foree.

Washington, Feb, 2—No interfer- ence by the federal authorities in the Kentucky troubles {s tooked for by the officials here, at least not as long” as the state authorities are able to con- trol the situation. If, however, the situation should become so serious that the state authorities are unable to deal with it, and should call upon the’ fed- eral government for assistance to sup- press the disorder, troops would, of course, be sent. But this would only be done as a last resort and upon the representations of the state officials that they had exhausted all thelr re- sources and were powerless to cope with the situation.

Buller is prepar- ing for a third attempt to reach Lady- smith, The correspondent of . the Morning Post, telegraphing from Spearman's camp, under date of Jan. 28, says: “Nobody ts downcast, but it 1s gen- erally understood that a supreme effort to plerce the Boer lines is impending. ‘The soldiers are resolved to get their own back. Their spirit 1s most de- termined. ‘The army is exasperated, but not defeated. Gen. Buller will per- severe, and all will come right in the end.” ‘The cheerful optimism of the garr!- son at Ladysmith in the face of disap- pointment excites admiration, but it fs feared that their position is really worse than their attitude implics. Nevertheless, there 1s no expectation that they will surrender. Gen, Buller's vindication of Col. ‘Thorneyeroft is received with all the greater pleasure, as his previous dis- patch seemed to imply censure, and the colonel is generally credited with wise- ly realizing that any further attempt to hold Splon kop would only have in- volved useless slaughter. One Extimate Gives 301 Kitted. Assuming that tho causalty returns are now complete, the total cost of the capture and defense of Spion kop on Jan, 24, was 840 men, including thirty officers and 175 men killed. ‘The esti- mates of the total losses since the Brit- ish crossed the Tugela river, on Jan, 11, differ, some of the returns appear- tng to duplicate others. ‘The highest Gtimate is 301 killed, 1,584 wounded, and 120 missing. ‘Whether the Boer official returns of thelr casualties are accurate or other- wise, their loss was admittedly far less, which fs to be expected. in view of the fact that they were acting on the de- fensivo throughout, except for part of the day on Jan. 24.

Last week Senator Prichard of Virginia discussed the race problem and the attempt of the Southern states to disfranchise the Negro. He spoke at great length, but as we have not yet received'a eopy of his speech we cannot publish it. The next day Senator Money (dem., Mississippi) spoke in defense of the South amd was called down by Senator Chandler (rep., N. H.) who literally denounced Senator Morgam and Money’s speech, The following is their bitter altercation: Washington, D. C., Jan, 25,—Just at the close of to-day's session of the sen- espeech delivered by Mr. Money of Mississippi on the race question in the south brought outa heated denunciai- tion from Mr, Chandler (rep., -N. H.). Mr. Money sard hedid not believe the wegro could be educated to such a con- dition as would enable him tocarry on such a goverment asours. ‘I'he ability to govern—to dominate—was born in tive white race and has been in its blood “The people of the south,” said Mr. Money, “are justified an¢ wonld be in- excusable if they did not take every means permitted to them by the const- itution toretain in their hands the power of government in the interests of justice, of right and of civilization.” Some controversy azose over respon: sibility for bringing up race and seo- tional questions, and Mr. Chandler read that. ph of Mr. Morgan's recent see cote the Alabama nenator that the civi war bed bees Precipitated by designing yo'iticians of the north with the ides Lf thrasting ‘pon the people ot the south tha negro {in social and political equality, “I denounce that,” shouted Mr. Chan- ayer, “as @ alandar upon the north snd—” Mr. Petrus (Ala‘)—"‘If the senator ‘will permit me—would it not be better et it nt be more decent for him to wait until the senator (Morgan) re- turns, before criticising mo net) Mr. Chandler—‘I intend to wait, but. I want the senators from the southern. states who have reopened thie question which I supposed \@: forever dead in the senate to tell me whether the north is to be expected to allow a charge made upon the floor to go unanswered ‘that the war for the union, which was a war growing ont of a notthern deters mination to prevent the ex-ension of slavery Into free territory, was a war of ambitious politicians with a cruel de- sign to put negro slaves. on a politics! and wocial footing of equality with the southern whites. Now if the southern senators wish to discuss that question they will have plenty of time before this session ends.” We believe like Senator Chandler that the north will not sit and take snch false charges without denoune- ing it. We do not wish to open the question again, but we do want and insist upon the south to allow each citizen an equal chance, his fran- ehise, and to be dealt fairly wit, nothing less. We herald it back to Senators Morgan and Money, who said that the negro could not be €ducated to the higher degree, ‘There are many colored men dead who could better represent your state than it is now. Why, there Jare colored men today scattered ‘over this country who have forgot more than these Senators will ever know. If those senators would take a little and visit some of the colored colleges in the South, they could not conscientiously make such absolute falsehoods as they have uttered, PARK COMMISSIONER. The name of M. T. Russell an old and highly esteemed citizen, has announced his name as a candidate for City Park Commissioner, the second term. Mr. Russell was born in Indiana in 1836, came to Iowa in 1868, entering the grain businass, He is a veteran of the ciyil war, & member of the 1st Indiana Volun- teers, and like many other patriots, he suffered the ills and hardships, He was in many hard fought battles and won a medal of honor at Stone River, and sufiered the extseme hor- rors of Libby Prison for one year. He is a colored. man’s friend, and many a time has given aid and as- sistance to the race.

AN EDITOR'S LIFE SAVED BY CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY During the early part of October, 1896, I contracted a bad cold which settled on my lungs and was neglected until I feared that consumption had appeared in an incipient state. I was constantly coughing and trying to expel something which I could not. I became alarmed and after giving the local doctor a trial bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the result was immediate improvement, and after I had used three bottles my lungs were restored to their healthy state.—B.

Last week Senator Prichard of Virginia discussed the race problem and the attempt of the Southern states to disfranchise the Negro. He spoke at great length, but as we have not yet received a copy of his speech we cannot publish it. The next day Senator Money (dem., Mississippi) spoke in defense of the South and was called down by Senator Chandler (rep., N. H.) who literally denounced Senator Morgan and Money's speech. The following is their bitter altercation: Washington, D. C., Jan. 25,—Just at the close of to-day's session of the sena speech delivered by Mr. Money of Mississippi on the race question in the south brought out a heated denunciation from Mr. Chandler (rep., -N H.). Mr. Money said he did not believe the uegro could be educated to such a condition as would enable him to carry on such a government as ours. 'The ability to govern—to dominate—was born in the white race and has been in its blood "The people of the south," said Mr. Money, "are justified and would be inexcusable if they did not take every means permitted to them by the constitution to retain in their hands the power of government in the interests of justice, of right and of civilization." Some controversy arose over responsibility for bringing up race and sectional questions, and Mr. Chandler read that paragraph of Mr. Morgan's recent speech in which the Alabama senator charged that the civil war had been precipitated by designing politicians of the north with the idea of thrusting upon the people of the south the negro in social and political equality. "I denounce that" shouted Mr. Chandler, "as a slander upon the north and—" Mr. Petrus (Ala)—"If the senator will permit me—would it not be better—would it not be more decent for him to wait until the senator (Morgan) returns, before ericultizing him." Mr. Chandler—"I intend to wait, but I want the senators from the southern states who have reopened this question which I supposed a forever dead in the senate to tell me whether the north is to be expected to allow a charge made upon the floor to go unanswered that the war for the union, which was a war growing out of a northern determination to prevent the ex ension of slavery into free territory, was a war of ambitious politicians with a cruel design to put negro slaves on a political and social footing of equality with the southern whites. Now if the southern senators wish to discuss that question they will have plenty of time before this session ends." We believe like Senator Chandler that the north will not sit and take snch false charges without denouncing it. We do not wish to open the question again, but we do want and insist upon the south to allow each citizen an equal chance, his franchise, and to be dealt fairly with, nothing less. We herald it back to Senators Morgan and Money, who said that the negro could not be educated to the higher degree. There are many colored men dead who could better represent your state than it is now. Why, there are colored men today scattered over this country who have forgot more than these Senators will ever know. If those senators would take a little and visit some of the colored colleges in the South, they could not conscientiously make such absolute falsehoods as they have uttered. PARK COMMISSIONER The name of M. T. Russell an old and highly esteemed citizen, has announced his name as a candidate for City Park Commissioner, the second term. Mr. Russell was born in Indiana in 1836, came to Iowa in 1868, entering the grain business. He is a veteran of the civil war, a member of the 51st Indiana Volunteers, and like many other patriots, he suffered the ills and hardships. He was in many hard fought battles and won a medal of honor at Stone River, and suffered the extreme horrors of Libby Prison for one year. He is a colored man's friend, and many a time has given aid and assistance to the race. An active republican worker, and his past experience as a member of the commission fits him to discharge the various duties with ease.

Its pleasant taste and prompt and effectual cures make it a favorite with mothers and small children. It quickly cures their coughs and colds, preventing pneumonia or other serious consequences. It also cures croup and has been used in tens of thousands of cases without a single failure so far as we have been able to learn. It not only cures croup but when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. In cases of whooping cough it liquifies the tough mucus, making it easier to expectorate, and lessens the severity and frequency of the paroxysms of coughing, thus depriving that disease of all dangerous consequences.

In an instant, however, she had re- covered herself. Quick as lightning, she turned to the table again, selzed the china slop basin, and, ralsing the cup, was just about to empty tho whole of’ the contents, when, as though detecting her intention, a de- taining hand was laid upon her arm, and Falkland, in bis suavest tones, sald— “Ah, that isfor Major Brown! Will you not give it to him?” “Oh, do not trouble,please, Miss Lut- troll!” exclaimed Brown, who at that ‘moment appeared In the window. “Let me fetch it myselt!"—and before Eve- lyn was even awaro of what was hap- pening he had taken the cup of coffee from her hand and, turning to the sugar basin, was carefully searching for a piece of sugar of the exact size ho required, “You—you will not like that!” gasp- ed Evelyn, making a quick movement forward, with an expression of ab- solute ‘perplexity upon her face. “Let me get you another cup—that is not strong enought” “No, certainly not, thank you! This 1s delicious!” declared the Major, help- ing himself to some cream; and, be- fore she had even time to utter an- other word, Evelyn saw him pass out on the veranda and, to her horror, act- ually raise the cup to his lips, It was too terrible! She made one despairing ‘effort to reach him, one vain attempt to dash the cup from his hand. But what was it seemed suddenly to hold her back, to rise up like a cloud before her eyes? She passed her hand in a dazed, bowildered manner across her forehead, made one staggering step forward, and then, with an instinctive sense of preserva- ton, grasped hold of the arm of a chair and sank back among the cush- ions perfectly unconscious.

And perhaps Lady Howard had never spoken with greater wisdom; for, having satisfied herself on the score of the cup of coffee, which she had quite made up her mind had been tatally drigged, all the feelings of hor- ror whiea Evelyn had experienced when the suspicion of the forgery had first fallen upon Major Brown, but which she had forgotten in the alarm that followed, returned to her now with a foree which seemed ten times increased in its intensity. Never before in her life had Eve- lyn known a day which proved itself so interminably long as did this partic- ular morning and afternoon, To see, to speak to, Major Brown again was imposeible; ‘and so, rather than under- go the risk of a meeting with him she absolutely shut her ears to all of Lady Howard's entreaties and remained in strict seclusion in her own room, never once during the whole of the day ven- turing out of her customary rambles. It was thus probably through sheer weariness that Evelyn, tired to death by her own society and conflicting thoughts, at last gave in to Lady How- ard's persuasions, and allowed herself to be driven off under the chaperonage of Mrs. Courtenay to the little seaside theater, ‘The house was packed to overilow- ing, and a loud burst of applause was greeting the appearance of the princl- pal aetress, when Evelyn, bending for- ‘ward to eateh her program, which had fallen to the ground, caught a glimpse of the occupant of the seat next but one to Mrs. Courtenay. Instantly a flagh of annoyance rose to her face as she recognized the in- dividual in question as Gftbert Fatk- land. Turning away quickly, she fixed ‘That affair of last night has quite upset you. You had bettor take Sam- bo for a good run this morning, in the hope of bringing back some color to your cheeks; and, as Mrs. Courte- nay has just told me that hor hus- band has been called suddenly to Lon- don and will not be able to accompany her to the theater to-night, I shall send to say you will be delighted to accept tho offer of the ticket it only she will be so good as to ehaperon you, I believe, child, a little exclte- ment will do you all the good in the world.” Evelyn's only answer was a faint sigh as she leaned back in her chair and clasped her hands above her head. At that moment, with her head throb- bing continuously and the feeling of utter weariness, which was the result of fa sleepless night and hours of inexpli- cable worry, the very Idea of play was Intolerable to her. She seemed to have lived days Instead of hours since the events of the previous evening—since that terrible moment when she had suddenly lost consciousness, to re- member nothing more until she found herself lying on her own bed, with her aunt's maid, who had evidently been left to keop wateb, fast asleep im a chair by her side. And then how utterly helpless she had felt when vivid recollections of all that happened rose up in horrible distinctness before her mind! What could she do? Alas, nothing—nothing whatever! She had no actual knowl- edge that Falkland had administered anything to Major Brown. She could give no reasons for supposing that the coffee which he had handed to bim had been drugged. If she roused the whole hotel she could not possibly state anything for a fact. Yet at the game time she wes heunted by the ae ae A/ANTED SEVERAL PERSONS FOR DIS ae Me Be “eee? wee Se 3h thought of the fearful alternative—the thought that even then Major Brown might be lying under tne Influence of some frightful narcotic, perhaps per- fectly unconscious, ‘As long as she lived never would she forget the wrotchedness she endured as hour after hour she lay awake, watching wearlly for tho first streaks of dawn to break through the closely- drawn blinds, Still, when even elght had been struck in mulled tones from the depths of the little leather travel- ing case—even ‘then, what was there to bo learned? Parker looked thoroughly puzzled when questioned for news of Major Brown. “Major Brown, miss? Why, there Is nothing amiss with him!” she had re- turned decidedly. “He looked as well as anybody need last night when I saw him fanning you down stairs.” But what small comfort poor Evelyn ‘derived from this information was speedily destroyed by the maid’s an- nouncement a little later that the major had evidently overslept himselt that morning, as, in passing down tho corridor, she had noticed that long after the usual thme his door was closed, and his boots and hot water ‘were waiting on the mat outside. Tt was thus that Evelyn, in a state ot strange hopelessness, had dressed and gone downstairs, She had pre- pared herself for the worst, She felt she would not be astonished then whatever happened, and yet every step which sounded on the corridor, every time a waiter entered the room, she started up as white as ashes, dreading the news that might come, Tt was, therefore, almost as’ great a shock when, chancing to look out of the window, she beheld, strolling leis- ‘urely across the lawn, a tall, well-built ‘figure, which she recognized at a glance fas the major's. And this had peen the cause of Lady Howard's remark con- cerning the necessity for some little her eyes upon the stag, where they remained for the rest of the,scene, She had held herself aloof from him most carefully all the day, never venturing downstairs at any time when he was likely to be abwut, and, though in one instance she had had the mis- fortune to encounter him, she had pre- served the strictest silence regarding the previous night's proceedings, not even asking if he had managed tq se- eure the forged check, nor evincing any curlosity as to the means he had adopted, “Beg pardon, miss, but {s this let- ter for you? A messenger hts just brought it from the “George,' and asked for It to be given to you himme- diately.” The words borne to Evelyn's ears above the strains of one of Sullivan's most popular airs made her look up in surprise, to find herself :onfronted by a small program boy, who was holding out for her inspection a note directed in her aunt's handwriting to “Miss Luttrell—Stalle, No, 14." “Dear me, I hope there is nothing wrong!” murmured Mrs. Courtenay in agitated tones, (To be continued.) ‘TOLD OF ANIMALS. re ee nt Meee ne Seta en er aa fare of which the zoological gardens is now doing its best to accustom them, ‘ago a sheep dog owned by a person ‘at Robin Hood’s bay, near Whitby, England, was dispatched by train’ to Liverpool and from there was removed to Egremont, where it was housed in the back yard of the residence of Mr. Coulson. ‘The following morning the dog had disappeared, and notices which were distributed about Liver- pool, Birkenhead and district elicited ‘no response. Rover, however, arrived in a Week or so at Robin Hood's bay, weary and lame, and bearing an un- mistakable appearance of having had a long Journey. The dog had jumped a high wall in order to escape and afterward crosced the Mersey, and sub- sequently traveled 170 miles in order to reach his destination, A femarkable case of animal eccen- tricity has been discovered near Cay- uuga lake, New York state. In a high treo a large white cat, which would weigh probably twenty-five pounds, has taken up Its abode, and from all observation has been there for several years, It is ecldom seen in daylight, but prowis about at night after food, living on birds, squirrels and other animals that it can master. It is shy of any of the human kind, and cannot be approached. In its midnight per- egrinations it visits the cottages and anything eatable left outside generally disappears. A few days ago the cat was seen lying stretched out on a limb, like a squirrel, and when a stone was thrown at {t the animal rose up and jumped, like a flying squirrel, from limb to limb and tree to tree, until {t disappeared. Not Beecher's' Prayer. One of the older newspaper men told a story the other day. “Browning was one of the best reporters to get out of work that ever broke into the busi- ness,” he said. “The city editor sent him down to report Henry Ward Beecher one time, and he came in about 11 o’clock with his ‘stuff’ ready for the printer. He had taken no notes, but had made a running long- hand report, He told how the church looked, who were on tho rostrum about the pulpit, and how Mr. Beecher rose and lifted his hands and said, very solemnly: ‘After this manner, there- fore, pray ye.’ Then Browning added, in parenthesis, ‘Turn rule for Lord’s prayer.’ He meant to copy that ver- batim from the office Bible when he got to his desk, but forgot it, and the parenthesis was only to guide the printer. So the paper came out in the morning with a good picture of Brook- lyn’s famous preacher, and his im- pressive manner of saying, ‘After this manner, therefore, pray ye. Turn rule for Lord's prayer’ Which really wasn't what the eloquent orator had sald at all."\-Chicago Post. vee anda The mere giving away to tears, or to the outward expression of anger, will result for the moment in making the inner grief or anger more acutely felt, says-Prof. James of Harvard. ‘There is no more useful precept in one’s self-dlscipline than that which bids us pay primary attention to what we do ‘and express, and not to care too much for what wo feel.

This reminds him of a story, which is quoted in the Washington Post. He was once approaching a town, where he was billed to make a speech, and stopped at a house on the outskirts to get a drink of water. He met the farmer's wife at the well. "What is the political sentiment around here?" said Cushman. "I dunne," said the woman; "I don't go to political meetings. They say there is a congressman at large, and I think the safest thing for me to do is to stay at home." An Englishman went into the Chatham hotel, in Paris, recently, and cautiously asked the price of a whisky. "One franc, sir," replied the bar-tender. "And a whisky and soda?" "One franc, sir. All drinks are the same price." The Englishman sat down and, to his astonishment found, that the place was run on American lines, and that the customers helped themselves at their own discretion. He punished that bottle of whisky till it was nearly empty. As he went out he paid down his franc, but the manager called him back and said: "You have forgotten your change." "I thought that the drink was a franc." "That is so, sir," was the reply; "that is the retail price, but there is a reduction when you buy wholesale." And he handed back five sous.

La Porte is to be formally "opened" and introduced to the public February 14 to 17, when it is expected a great crowd of Northern and Texas people will be on hand to inspect the much talked of new seaport of the Gulf.

APPALLING LOSS TERRIBLS DEFEAT FOR THE BRITISH AT SPION KOP. Dead Left on the Battlefield Said to Have Numbered 1,500—Buller Retires to the Tugela. BOER HEAD LAAGER, Ladysmith, Jan. 25.—The British dead left on the battlefield yesterday, Wednesday, numbered 1,500. LONDON, Jan. 29.—General Buller's dispatch to the war office states that Spion Kop was abandoned on account of a lack of water and inability to bring the artillery there and a heavy Boer fire. Buller gives no list of casualties. His whole force has retired south of the Tugela river with the evident intention of reaching Ladysmith by another route. The week has opened with the utmost gloom for the British and the reaction is all the stronger because of the high hopes that were reposed in General Buller's turning movement and of his announcement that there would be no turning back. At the very moment when Dr. Leyda is being received as an honored guest in the highest circles on the continent, Great Britain has to face the worst disaster in a campaign thus far disastrous. Open talk is heard of the absolute necessity of abandoning Ladysmith to its fate. If Boer reports are to be credited, the abandonment of Spion Kop was due to the inability of the British to resist the Boer attack, the Boers carrying the first trenches and taking 150 prisoners. As it required a month for Buller to recover from his earlier defeat at Colenso, it is not thought he can pull his disheartened army together now in time to do anything for Ladysmith. London waits anxiously for the Boers to move. They seem to be fighting on a very definite plan, and it is thought they may attack Buller or assault Ladysmith. Following is the text of General Buller's dispatch, dated Spearman's Camp, Jan, 27, 6:10 p. m. "On the night of Jan. 23 Warren attacked Spion Kop but found it very difficult to hold as its perimeter was too large and water was found very deficient. "The crests were held all that dry against successive attacks and a heavy shell fire. Our men fought with great gallantry. "General Woodgate, who was in command at the summit, having been wounded, the officer who succeeded him decided on the attack of January 24 to abandon the position and did so before dawn Jan. 25. I reached Warren's camp at 5 a. m. on Jan. 25 and decided that a second attack on Spion Kop would be useless and that the enemy's crest was too strong to allow me to force. Accordingly I decided to withdraw the force to the south of the Tugela." LONDON, Jan. 29.—The situation at other points is unchanged. HEAD LAAGER, Ladysmith, Jan. 25, via Lorenzo Marquez, Jan. 26.—It is reported here that as a result of Long Tom's practice on Monday Dr. Jameson was wounded in the leg. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—There is comment in Ladysmith on the discrepancy between the Boer account of the recapture of Spion Kop and that sent by Buller. The latter says not a word about the Boers seating the hill and attacking the British trenches and capturing 150 men who had hoisted the white flag, as at Majuba Hill. Instead he spoke of the maintenance of the "best traditions of the British army." There is not much doubt that the Boer account is correct. It is by no means boastful. It is believed that the war office has further disputes which it is withholding. For days nothing has been heard from Lord Dundonald and his mounted brigade and it is rumored he has been cut off on the upper Tugela. London military critics have given up the hope of saving Ladysmith, which is undoubtedly short of food and ammunition. The garrison went on short rations December 2d.

Warren's men captured 100 prisoners, and 130 Boers were found dead in one trench. Germany and France Jubilant. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Advices from France and Germany show that the people are jubilant over the defeat of the British at Spion kop, which is regarded as a signal set back for the Englishmen. BUSSIA IS EXPECTING WAR. Firmly Believed That Japan Is Making Ready for Attack St. PETERSBURG, Jan. 29.—From an authentic source it is learned that in diplomatic and governmental circles here it is considered assured that Japan is ready for a war with Russia, and that the policy and efforts of Japanese statesmen are directed along the line of an alliance for offensive purposes between Japan, Great Britain and China. Japan is plainly anxious to resist and paralyze Russia's successful invasion and predominant influence in eastern Asia, and as a preliminary to the desired conflict suggests to China the establishment of a military academy at Peking, where Japanese officials shall instruct the Chinese in the art of war. This proposal, it is believed, will be accepted, despite the opposition of Russia, France and Germany. The Japanese arsenals are at their busiest—that is matter of Russian military information. The army and fleet system of coast defenses has been developed and improved and recent inspections have shown that they are satisfactory to the mikado's war office. That Japan will obtain a certain portion of Korean territory has already been decided, but it will be done quietly so as to avoid premature trouble with Russia. Japan knows that Russia is not going to make the first move toward war, and Japan, before war actually is precipitated, is doing its best by way of preparation. Russia is ready for any war in Asia or elsewhere. She now calmly awaits Great Britain's downfall. LADYSMITH SEEMS DOOMED. Buller Will Probably Abandon the Town to Mr. Fate LONDON, Jan. 30.—Open talk is heard of the absolute necessity of abandoning Ladysmith to its fate, while Lord Roberts reverts to the original plan of an advance over the Orange river upon Bloemfontein. To Ladysmith the disappointment must be very bitter. A dispatch from the Boer laager near the town, dated January 24, describes the garrison as "very evidently preparing a desperate coup in order to effect a junction with General Buller's advancing army." It may be regarded as a certainty that, in the confident hope of early relief, Sir George White has lately been issuing extra rations, and this fact has given rise to an exaggerated idea as to the length of time the provisions would last. Even should it be decided to send General Buller reinforcements and to attempt to reach Ladysmith by a movement through the still more difficult country to the east, it is extremely doubtful whether the garrison could hold out long enough, as such a movement would occupy at least a month. General Buller's operation has cost 912 men, so far, officially reported, within ten days. WILL WAIT AWHILE. Operations Will Be Suspended Till Rob- bert takes the Word. LONDON, Jan. 30.—History pauses for a time in South Africa. It is one of those unsatisfactory pauses that are nearly as trying to British nerves as a sequence of reverses and apparently it will terminate only when Lord Roberts gives the word for the forward movement into the Free State, which, according to the most cheerful view, he will be unable to do for a fortnight. Whether he will permit General Buller to make another attempt to relieve Ladysmith is quite outside the knowledge even of those closely connected with the war office. With the troops due to arrive next month, he may think himself strong enough to try two large operations. Combining the forces under Generals Methuen, French and Gatacre and adding to them the arriving troops, Lord Roberts would have 70,000 for the invasion of the Free State, with 40,000 to 50,000 guarding communications and 40,000 trying to rescue Ladysmith. The public burns with impatience that something should be done, but there is nothing to do but to wait on the preparations. WILKINSON'S REVIEW. Thinks Assault on Ladysmith May Now Be Looked For. LONDON, Jan. 30.—Mr. Spencer Wilkinson in the Morning Post says: "Defeat is bitter. But it is right to face it and to take reasonable means to turn it into victory. It is wrong to try to conceal it from ourselves. The initiative is now again with the Boer commander, and the question is, what will he do next? He will either act against Ladysmith or against General Buller. In the latter case pursuit would be useless, for when the British force is once across the river again, it would be impracticable, as a small rear guard could prevent pursuit. Much more probable would be an attack on Chievelly before the return of the main body. Either that or a fresh assault on Ladysmith may be recorded in a day or two." Heavy Loss Among Officers LONDON, Jan. 30.—General Buller reports casualties among officers at Spion Kop. There were twenty-two killed, nineteen wounded and six missing. Cockran Is for Bryan. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—W. Bourke Cockran has announced his advocacy, with one condition, of the renomination of William J. Bryan for the presidency. Cockran proposes a truce with the Nebraskan on the silver question until 1904, and if Bryan will agree to the armistice, anti-imperialism will be democracy's war cry in the 1900 campaign. If Mr. Bryan will consent to postpone the silver fight until 1904, Cockran agrees to indorse the Chicago platform in its entirety. 900 DROPS Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.

CUTICURA Remedies Bring Speedy Relief and a Permanent Cure at a Cost of Only $2. I was a sufferer for eight years from that most distressing of all diseases, Eczema.

There has been no sign of its return anywhere upon my body since I wrote you I was cured, nearly four years ago.

JOHN D. PORTE, Pittsburg, March 1, 1899. Of JOHN D. PORTE & Co., Real Estate and Insurance. The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema, the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disfigurement, as in pimples and ringworm, the awful suffering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter, and salt rheum—all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Remedies are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence.

The palms of my hands were covered and would become inflamed; little white blisters at first would appear, then they would peel off, leaving a red, smooth surface which would burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name for it.

Night after night I would lie awake all night and scratch and almost go wild. I heard of CUTICURA REMEDIES, got them and
