ROOSEVELT and BROWNS- VILLE AFFAIR. While the United States is aroused, and especially our race, to an unnecessary high feeling over the discharge of the colored battalion, we are surprise to see what extremes some of our colored newspapers have gone. While we donot for an instant condone his action nor acquiesce in the course that President Roosevelt has taken. We firmly believe that he has exceeded his authority in at least several instances, as time has already proven. But we also believe as every honest and fairminded man must know that Theodore Roosevelt acted in this matter on what he honestly thought was right and fair under the circumstances and from the facts and information that he then had, (yet that information may have been secured by and from race prejudiced people) and not because of any racial feeling that he had against the race. In fact we think if these companies had been white he would have done the same thing, even sooner then he did in the above case. Therefore let us discuss the merits and demerits of this extraordinary order from another then a racial standpoint, for his past actions and utterances has always been other then hatred to the race. This order of dismissal and dishonoring without trial, either civil or military in time of peace is an extraordinary one that is far reaching and encroaches upon the very foundation stone of the American independence, freedom and liberties. For more than ten centuries; though countless wars under many bloody struggles have the human family fought for this one principle, the right of the individual to a trial before his fellow men before punishment; and now the least encroachment upon that right may mean disaster to our free institution. We hope and believe that as the light of true and careful investigation will reveal facts heretofore unknown by him, and he will be charitable and statesman enough to revoke his order as has already been done in some particulars and the many innocent men will ultimately be restored to the army service. Honest discussion and agitation is good, but gross misrepresentations and color cry ought not enter; and after all this incident may be the best for us and we commend the brave and manly stand that our public men and daily papers are taking in this matter, not because it is colored soldiers but because the principal is wrong. CUMMINS INAUGURATED It was indeed a pleasure to us to witness the inauguration of his excellency, Hon. Albert B. Cummins governor for the third time last Thursday. It was unique and unprecedent in the history of our state; for never before has a governor ever took the oath of office for his third term. He has made the best and most fearless chief executive that Iowa ever had, and is today considered the greatest leader that the common people have in the middle west. He is honest, able true and eloquent. The people of Iowa should consider it an honor that such a noble specimen of true statesmanship should quit greater financial fields to serve the people as governor. Yet we can read the signs of the time that the people of the commonwealth are only waiting an opportunity to enlarge and broaden his field of usefulness as an American citizen. DOLLIVER RE-ELECTED. For the second time the Iowa State Legislature honored the state and rewarded our well merited statesman. Hon. Jonathan Prentiss Dolliver of Ft. Dodge, Ja., by re-electing him unani- mouly to succeed himself as United States Senator from Iowa for another six years. There are but few if any of the many Iowa distinguished sonsmore deserving and more honored then our junior Senator just elected, and perhaps no greater leader in the upper house of our American congress than he; certainly none more eloquent. He believes in the fundamental principle of justice, equality and right a true friends of struggling humanity. He is not afraid to have ideas and opinions of his own and express them. We believe and earnestly hope that there are still greater things in store for this young giant of American statesman. Ministers Disgrace Their Calling. For the past ten days or fortnight the disagreeable sight came to our observation in the legislative halls and lobby rooms here, and we fear the same is true in other states and even at the National Capitol, that men even professing to be preachers and ministers delving down into the political lobby rooms, legging for men to get little petty offices of a menial kind, even wire pulling, begging, misrepresenting things and even promising things they could not do, and what is even worse, to see ministers themselves begging to be selected as spit-toon cleaner, toilet cleaners and janitors. Certainly it is bad enough to see the people, but far worse to see the pulpit dabbling in this business. The past week every colored minister of our city, save one or possibly two, has resorted to this practice; and even high white officials were swearing at their actions, using the church of God as a cloak, and strange to say that none of the men they were working for got a job. We have no feeling in this matter except to warn our ministers who seek to be leaders to be above some things. Let the worldly affairs and political affairs alone. Certainly our race is humiliated and ridiculed enough. We know that some will censure us for this article, yet deep in your heart you will say the Bystander's stand is right and ministers should practice their calling. It is with sadness that I glean from your paper from week to week reports of the gambling which is carried on in the high and social life of our city. What think ye of a law which demands the arrest and conviction of the gamblers in the low dives of our city and then permits men and women in high places to place on their table plates, bowls and cigars to be given to the one who makes the highest score. The best authority tells me that the word gamble means to "play a game for money, or stake," when the man who play the article is just as much a gambler as the man who is arrested for gambling money out of his fellow gambler's pocket. Again, there is another difference in the "low gambling," and the high gambling, viz: the gambler who plays for money, watches and rings and pins, closes his doors and only admits men of that class, while the high and social gamblers open their doors to all classes and send invitations and then publish the results in the papers. Again our leading church people, if they do not play many of them sit and look on and going goes on in driving is like the John, the son of Nimhil for he driveh furiously." We have a right in a Christian manner, to point out those who, year by year, are jeopardizing not only their wel fare, but the interests of others by their reckless driving. Again all this it is high time that the Church of God wakes up. Who else will expose the wrongs? Not the law! The Church of God wants nothing so much today as to be swept out. But an ordinary sweeping will not do the work. It needs to be scrubbed. The time must come when the church will see that tolerating the high gamblers is as detrimental to its welfare as the "low gamblers." What is the use of going to church if not to be made better and to do better? When this world gets full power over a man or woman they had just as well be dead. They are dead so far as doing any good is concerned. When Sisera came into the house of Jael, she gave him something to drink, and got him salee on the floor. Then she took a peg from the side of her tent and a mallet, and drove the peg through the brain of Sisera into the floor. So the world of high life feeds a man and fatters a man, and the man him sound salee strikes his life out. The trouble is that most reckless drivers do not see their peril until it is too late to stop. Many go on in the no harm aid. They are warned. They expect to stop. Better stop now. Do not risk gambling in high life any longer. Stop now! You must do one or the other. I leave you at the forks: choose for yourselves. God have mercy upon all thoughtless and reckless gamblers, be they high or low. Rev. H. W. Porter. Pastor Union Congregational Church Des Moines, Iowa. 17 HONORABLE JONATHAN P.

C., to Help Raise $100,000 For the Y. M. C. A. It is indeed with pleasure that we announce that Mr. Lewis E. Johnson Secretary of the only colored Young Men's Christian Association of Iowa, will leave Buxton Friday for Washington, D.C. to conduct that association in their great canvass for $100,000. The Washington Association has been trying to secure Mr. Johnson's services for the past year. Recently Mr. John D. Rockefeller subscribed $25,000 to the Washington association on condition that they raise a like amount. The association at that place was without a secretary, a number of men had failed to make good in that field. The committee of management met with the board of directors and the general secretary of the white association, and by a unanimous vote extended a call to Mr. Johnson. They agreed that the president would be capable more than he was receiving in Buxton. The board of directors of Buxton were advised of the move on the part of the Washington people, they met and after a con- DES MOINES' M Mc G 312 to 320 S 11th Annual Mid THE BEST OF Mammoth Fancy Navel Oranges, dozen ... 44c Extra Fancy Navel Oranges, dozen ... 33c Extra Choice Navel Oranges, dozen ... 29c Extra Grape Fruit, 2 for ... 15c Jumbo Grape Fruit, 2 for ... 35c All varieties Red Letter Can Soup ... 5c Pure Imported Olive Oil ... 25c D. & B.

Mr. Johnson, replied "He did not enter this great work as a money maker, but he felt he should go wherever his services were needed the most, and 1 where he could do the most good. After many consultations the matter was finally compromised in this way, viz. Mr. Johnson is to go to Washington, organize and direct the forces that are to raise money for what is contemplated as the finest colored Young Men's Christian association building the world. He is promised to spend $10,000 this building and also the money in three months. This is a new step in the work of the colored associations, and the eyes of the whole country will be upon this forward movement. Mr. Johnson came to Buxton a little over two years ago and has worked untruly for the success of the Young Men's Christian Association. Further than this, the Association has kept in advance of any in the state of Iowa, and you take into consideration the number of large cities carrying on this great work. And in addition, Buxton has the only Boys' Department in the world. In fact the Association at Buxton is recognized as a "Leader" in the Colored Department. Mr. Moorland, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, says: "The work in Buxton is the best in the department, and it stands as a 'Beacon Light' for other association groups." To say Mr. Johnson will only be gone three months from that field. His work has been well (Continued on page 4, column 3.)

Remarkable Excise Put Forwatd by Picnch: Bigdiniet: At Versailles, France, recentl¥ a baker was tried on a charge of polys- amy, having married five women, who ate living and undivorced. The pentagamist’s. defense was that. he had not married the women; they had married him. When they proposed he bad not the courage to say no. Neither money nor love, he sald, had Prompted his nuptials; he was the victim of the stronger wills of his ‘Successive spouses, Of tlie Ave wives three’appeared as witnesses, but did Rot prosecute, saying that thelr com- mon husband was a toper of whom they were glad to get rid.

Occasionally one comes in contact with a number of ladies who are much more interesting than their husbands. They know more outside of the sordid and dull business of money-making. I know a farmer and his wife, writes a correspondent of Montreal Herald, who hardly seem to live in the same world. The farmer is a nice fellow, but his interest in things is bounded by the fences of his farm, a hazy-eyed look occasionally at party politics. His wife, on the contrary, is an intellectual force in the neighborhood. She has made reading of the better sort popular within her sphere of influence; and there are few subjects of human interest upon which she has not formed an intelligent opinion. It is not that her original education was any better than her husband's; but that she has had more time since to supplement it, or at all events has taken more time. In many cases it is opportunity which gives the wife the better education—the higher culture. The husband is so busy manipulating stocks or handling his business that he has no time or mental force for the study of art, the reading of good literature or the estivation of a musical taste. His wife, on the other hand, is put by his efforts in so happy a financial position that she enjoys considerable leisure; and she spends it on mental culture instead of taking an empty course of "apartment functions" and keeping up to the latest in fashion and gossip. Europe is full of traveling tourist wives who are both interested and interesting, touching all that makes up the culture of that continent, while their husbands will only run over occasionally for its curties and amusements. For the vast majority who cannot go to Europe there is the home culture of the library. Rubies and Diamonds. Heira to the dream of the alchemists, who sought to transmute base metals into gold, many scientists today are striving to unite the cheap elements which make up precious stones, and so build us jewels while we wait. Theoretically the task is simple. Practically, the difficulty of counterfeiting that welding point of heat and pressure which existed when the molten earth was cooling is very great. Apparently it can be done. Whoever fuses alumina with chromium oxide in the oxy-hydrogen same may obtain a veritable ruby. The diamond is a tougher opponent but foissan points out the road to success. By saturating molten iron with carbon in the electric furnace at a temperature of 3,500 degrees, and then suddenly cooling the mass, he produced the pressure necessary to crystallize the carbon, and obtained minute but real diamonds. Lately Sir Andrew Noble obtained a world's record temperature of 5,200 degrees from the pressure of cordite exploded a closed vessels of iron, and in the residue of the explosion chamber small diamonds were found. In the near future, perhaps, methods will be found of producing all crystals in the size, homogeneity of texture, and coloring which make them precious stones. No longer, then, says Collier's, will the blood-stained gems of Indian princes glow in the pages of sixth-rate novels. In our children's children, it may be, the tales of the "Arabian Nights" will wake no visions of unearthly wealth, and the adventure of Mowgli with the Bandar-Log of the Forgotten City will have to be explained. Appearances are deceitful at times in regard to a person who is supposed to be dead. We have had several instances of the sort of late. A woman who took poison woke up and told the undertaker not to be so rough. A man supposed to be dying in a New York hospital jumped out of bed and whipped another man. A woman in that city, after her husband had shot her, made her husband think that she was dead so that he wouldn't shoot her again. A Paris journalist has founded a tables' club. It is a spacious and pleasant building, with a garden and a clubhouse where games of all kinds are provided. There is a Punch and Judy show, with a cafe where sweets, cakes, tea, milk and various kinds of lemonade are sold to members and their parents, while there are also innumerable toy-shops and a theater. An Illinois court has ruled that a whisky jug is a deadly weapon. In this case one man threw a jug at an other. It doesn't appear to make much difference, then, as far as definitions are concerned, whether the victim is hit with the inside or the outside of the jug. Building materials for the reconstruction of Valparaiso will probably be exempted from import duty. A proposal to this end is before the Chilean government. The Fuhushima mill at Ozaka has decided to add 20,000 spindles so as to increase its yarn production for shipment to China. New York now claims to have more than 2,000 millionaires. We might add that very few of them grew up in New York. The incident in Keepenick will cause the gold brick artists to wonder how they ever came to overlook the German army. 1 IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence throughout the Commonwealth. TO TRY DUNNING AGAIN. Supervisors of Ringgold County Act in the Matter. Mt. AYR—Day. Dunning will have to stand a third trial, the board of supervisors having ordered the Mt. AYR banker tried once more on the charge of fraudulent tanking. Hon. Jerry B. Sullivan of Des Moines has been retained by the bank, he has prosecuted the case. L. W. Laughlin, who was originally appointed special county attorney to take charge of the case, and who since that appointment expired has seen hired by the board to assist in the case, was again retained, as he has the particulars of the case in his command. LAWYER'S DEATH A MYSTERY. Inquest Over Body of Lawyer Found Dead in Office. Ottumwa.—A sensational surprise was sprung when the coroner's jury in the inquest over the death of the attorney was held in a verdict in effect that "the came to his death by pistol shot wound, but by who inflicted, by accident or otherwise, to this jury unknown." Friends of the dead attorney scoot the idea of suicide and claim that McScott was spent in better spirits than on the day of his death. Some state that his supposed suicide was due to worry over ill health, but on the other hand it is claimed that Mr. Scott has fully recovered from his recent illness. The Dunning case does not now be long in the courts of Ringgold county. When a change of venue was granted all the cases went to the courts of Clarke county and there every step in the proceedings must be taken. Nominally County Attorney Lloyd Thurston will county still be involved in the case, although as a matter of fact the burden will fall upon Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Laughlin. The next term of court in Clarke county convenes Monday, February 4, at the same time Judge Evans opens court here. While the defense can bring the case up at any time, the usual custom is to change the judge's residence considerably likely that the Dunning case will come up at Osceola when Judge Evans next convenes court there, which is on April 29. The attorneys for the defendant will no doubt seek to have all the indictments set aside on the ground that the grand jury which indicted him contained three members who as election officers, had been deemed as eligible to jury service. Under the rulings of the courts in Dubuque and Polk counties this cause is ground for challenge, but where the challenge is not exercised there is said to be no ground for reversal on that point. However, it is pointed out by attorneys that Mr. Pompeo submitted a motion to the grand jurors, as he was never arraigned, but was indicted without a preliminary trial. MOB MENACES NEGRO Angry Citizens Surround Home of Alcatel Murderer Mount Pleasant—The town of New London, eight miles east of here, was the scene of an attempted lynching. A mob of about .20 farmers and city workers stormed the house of Thomas Grimes, colored, suspected as one of the men who brutally murdered J. W. Gavin and attempted to take him from the officers. Only the quick removal of the prisoner through the back way prevailed, and the state was brought the state. The negro was brought here for "no keeping." The entire county is stirred over the bloody tragedy, and if the men confess to the crime, it is not known where they are. The two men held for the crime absolutely refuse to talk concerning the matter. Circumstantial evidence points to their guilt. Gavin was found dead by a farmer named Bonar. The body of the man, also bloody was crushed to tip. A bloody fence rail was found near by the body, which was tanged in a barbed wire fence. It is thought the two men rode with Gavin out of Mount Pleasant and that they were killed when the latter threw the body into the road after pounding his head with a hammer. FAMILY OF CULLEN IS LOCATED. Daughter Writes From Michigan Inquiring About Property. Charles City.—Sheriff W. W. S.cherborn is in receipt of a letter from a daughter of Jas.

Hutchinson, who is the author of the letter, lives at Pompeil, Michigan and writes to find out certain matters pertaining to the property. Banker Must Stand Trial. Mason City.—By the ruling of Judge Clyde the motion to set aside the indictments against J. D. Barlow, presiding attorney, was overruled. The trial of the bank president is set for Jan. 29, Judge Kelley to preside. Objections covered the illegality of the drawing of the grand jury which returned indictments on the ground that returns of names were not properly certified to by supervisors. The trial of G. L. Ehrs, casher, jointly indicted with Barlow on one point, will follow the Barlow hearing Trustees Resign at Dubucue. Dubuque is a meeting of the committee of the whole of the city council municipal water works trustees, the Hillebranders, the Honorable their resignational, the Mayor Schunk declares that unless Henry Kniffke, the third member, also resigns, the resignations will not be accepted. The trustees contracted an Honorable of $40,000 said the Legal and the city refuses to pay so long as the present board continues.

C., Jan. 25.—United States Senator Russel A. Alger of Michigan died suddenly at his home in this city at 8:45 o'clock yesterday morning. There were practically no premonitory symptoms that the end was near. At 8:30 the senator had a pleasant chat with Mrs. Alger in her room and then went down stairs. A few minutes later the senator suffered a recurrence of heart trouble from which he had suffered for a long time, and death came quickly. The senator had not been feeling well for several days. Tuesday night he had expected to attend a dinner at the home of Congressman William Alcen Smith, the new senator-elect but at the last moment word came from him that he would not be able to come. His physicians had advised him against going out that night because feeling sick from Alger Alger and suffered for years from chronic valvular disease of the heart.

Dr. Gerry Morgan, Senator Alger's physician, said: "General Alger had suffered for a good many years with chronic valvular disease of the heart, but of late he seemed to be a good deal better.

Ten minute after he was stricken he was unconscious and did not regain consciousness. His death was quiet and painless." ALGER TELLS OF RESIGNATION Interview Released After Death Says McKinley HAID BACKSTREET Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 25.—The Milwaukee Journal yesterday printed an interview with General Russell A. Alger, obtained in Detroit, March 4, 1900, giving inside facts regarding his resignation from McKinley's cabinet.

Position To Graft in Land Grants Austin, Tex., Jan. 25.—The special committees appointed by the two branches of the State legislature to investigate charges preferred against United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey, met in joint session yesterday.

According to trainmen of the freight, the explosion of the powder was caused by the concussion made by the passing passenger train, which was slowing down for the station at Sandford. Another theory is that gas escaping from an oil pipe line nearby entered the car containing the powder and a spark from the passing engine ignited the gas. Windows were shattered, dishes and furniture broken, and in some instances doors were torn from their hinges. The train was an accommodation passenger, running from Indianapolis to Mattoon, Illinois, and was destroyed at $150 p. m. It was a dark night and heavy rains had converted the streets and tracks at Sandford into a sea of mud and water. As the passenger engine went by the powder car of the freight train standing on an adjoining track the explosion came. The windows and the cracking of the fierce flames greeted the rescuers, who worked frantically, but soon were forced back by the terrible heat. There was no efficient water supply to the flammable and the bitter cold added to the water. CHAIRMAN SHONTS RESIGNS. Canal Chief Elected President of Gotham Traction Company.

Had Wrong Idea of the Sound to Be Removed. Deacon Allen Sheldon, who recently passed away, was universally respected by all who knew him, and his stories were listened to with much delight, says a writer in the Boston Herald. He used to tell the following with a great deal of interest: When a very small boy he asked his father to let him go with him to the own meeting, he told the groundman to he returned he told the folks what happened. In those days the church was supported by a tax on every property holder. Whatever of interest the church had to be voted on at meeting. The pastor being beeble and his voice not strong, an article in the town warrant called for the removal of the sounding board from over the pastor's head, since it acted as a tinguisher, and not as originally planned. And again returned he told his mother about the sounding board and said: "Mr. Flags got up and said, in his squeaky voice: 'Mr. Moderator, I make a motion that we remove the sound from under the board.'" Thoroughly Reliable. If ever there was a reliable and safe remedy it is that old and famous porous plaster—Alcock's. It has been in use for sixty years, and is as popular to-day as ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized community on the face of the globe where this wonderful pain reliever cannot be found. In the selection of the ingredients and in their manufacture the greatest care is taken to keep each plaster up to its highest standard. So pure and simple are the ingredients that even a child can use them. Alcock's are the original and genuine porous plasters and are sold by Drugsists all over the world. Developing the Sudan. There is talk in England of the proposed development of the natural resources of the Sudan through scientific exploration. Immense forests fine the banks of the Blue Nile along its upper reaches, extending to the Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree is met with along that river and also near the Sobat. Along the White Nile the india rubber creeper, a valuable source of rubber, abounds. There are large forests in the Bahr-el-Ghazal province and gold has been mined in some of the mountains. Search will be made for fuel. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Makes Pica for Dance. It seems very easy that some determined effort cannot be made to make dancing more popular. Nowadays, when exercise is a kind of religion to men and women alike it is odd that one recommended by all doctors and recognized all the world over and in all ages as an attractive pastime, into which the art of fascination of performers, should be more and more neglected among us. Lady's Piorial. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the interspersed varieties of curious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. Confederate Congressmen. Fifteen men are known to be still alive who served as confederate congressmen—John Goode and Roger A. Pyrigin, Virginia; A. S. Colyar, J. D. C. Atkins, Joseph B. Heskel and John V. Wright, Tennessee; Hiram P. Bell, Georgia; Henry C. Jones, Florida; James L. Pugh, Alabama; B. S. Bailah, Indian Territory; J. A. P. Campbell, Mississippi; S. H. Ford, Kentucky; W. H. Tibbs, North Carolina. With a smooth iron and Dehane Starch, you can launder your shirt-wait just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron. New Use for Roentgen Ray. An ingenious if not novel use has been found for the kind of radiance discovered by Roentgen. With its aid a photograph has been taken showing the machinery of an automobile, without removing the hood which covered it. Garfield Tea (the Herb remedy which is Guaranteed under the Pure Food and Drug Law) should be taken to regulate the Liver, Kidneys, stomach and bowels, and to purify the blood. There is nothing that stands still in time, so that no duty at all admits of delay; each is strictly the duty of the moment—Martineau. Jamaica Unique Conveyance. While amphibious vehicles are not in themsele, the car is it safe to declare the combination just built in England for an Indian maharajah as absolutely unique. The body, shaped like a boat and painted in rainbow hues in accordance with eastern ideas of color, is hung upon four-wheeled skeleton + carriage. It is intended by its owner as a state carriage, but used on occasions as a state boat. It can be unslung and converted into an launch. The skeleton carriage is about 15 feet long and is provided with four rubber-tired wheels. There is a seat for a driver and room for the boat-shaped coach. The total length of the outfit is less than one ton. BRING GOOD HEALTH Dr. William 'Pink Pills,' used on the Grip, Arrest Fatal Decline, Rebuild the System. Any bodily weakness caused by deficiency in the blood can be by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink because these pills actually make blood. After attacks of the grip blood is given down and swollen, it continues to decelerate. "About three years ago," says Jenne Cowan, of 718 N.

It was in the days of old knights were bold and dressed gleaming armor. "George, dear," said Priscilla, her daily task, "wilt thou not me with my skimself? "By the tower of London—roared George, as he sharpened lance. "You haven't a spike wheel for a husband." Two hours later George retreated from the fray with his armor and tended to lance. "Dearest George," he said, "you thou not put a few pails on my dress suit." "No, George," replied Priscilla sweetly. "You haven't a blacks for a wife." And the bold knight was so illiterated he went over to Ye Fei heart tavern and stood the tux keeper off for a tankard. AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEM Covered with Yellow Bones Worse—Parents Discouraged ticura Drove Sores Away. "Our little girl, one year and half old, was taken with eczema that was what the doctor called. We called in the family doctor, he gave some tablets and said would be all right in a few. The eczema grew worse and called in doctor No. 2.

So we went to Oswego doctor No. 4, and he said the sight was gone, but that he help it. We thought we would doctor No. 5. Well, that proved same, only he charged $10 more doctor No. 4. We were nearly coached. I saw one of the Oswego advertisements in the paper thought we would try the Cucite Treatment, so I went and买了 cost $1, and in three days daughter, who had been sick eight months, showed great improvement, and in one week all seemed disappeared. Of course it could restore the eyesight, but if we had cut Cucitein in time I am could that it would have saved the eye there is no remedy so good any skin trouble or impurity of blood as Cuticura.

A verdict for $18,000 for damages from false imprisonment was awarded in Judge Gibbons' court yesterday against "Pony" Moore, for years a well known south side character, in favor of Julius F.
