LITTLE MARY CECILIA BRUNOLI

Has Just been cured of the worst Eczema ever
seen by the doctors who treated her.
From head to feet a mass of diseased skin.
Several physicians, q medical college, and
all remedies fail. Cured by Cuticura REM
edies.
NY little daughter. Mary Cecilia Brunold, was
afflicted with the worst case of eczema ever seen
by the doctors who treated her. She was liter
ally covered from head to foot with scabs. These
physicians tried their best to cure her. but / be-
1ieve they were only experimenting. They kept
on experimenting for over ten months. but, IN
stead of getting better, the child got worse, and
took her, after we had paid all we could afford
for medical treatment, to q medical college
where there We're some twenty or thirty doctors
wife had to go every day, and sometimes twice q
day. In fact the medicine they gave my child
virtue in it, it was changed so often by orders Of
the doctors. The latter part of January, after
everything had failed, and patience and money
quit all dOctOring andtry the Cuticura Remedies.
I did so, and now, I can say that my daughter Is
cured, sound in health, and well to the surprise
Of hundreds.
The druggist, Mr.. II. NJ. Kruger, corner Chou
teau and Ewing avenues, who sold US the Cuti-
cura Remedies Is as much ast0nished as any Of
us. The Cuticura Remedies have worked a COM
plete cure, and We have used but a little more
than three fOurths Of a bottle of Cuticura RcsOlv-
ent, and a proportionate amount of Cuticura and
Cuticura Soap. 1 am ready at any time to make
affidavit that my daughter had the worst case OF
eczeme, as the doctors, all admit. ever seen in
this cit Y, and that she had been cured solely by
the Cuticura Remedies, after the best physicians
and remedies failed.
1 shall be glad TO have any one call upon or
write me who has a child similarly afflicted, or
any person who is troubled with a skin disease,
that he may see for himself what your Cuticura
Remedies have done. / do this in gratitude for
the cure that has been effected in my child's case.

Foot Ball.

Now that the Harvard Crimson has
has been dOwned by the Tiger Stripes
of Princeton, in the greatest game
ever played in this country" at Boston
on Saturday last, the fever appears to
have broken out among the athletes
of Ottawa and without doubt the
entire resources of the the statf-war
correspondent, murder reporter, the
sporting editor, the special medical
correspondent, and the horse editor
will be required to report, with sulfi-
cient amplitude, the great game now
being arranged for Thanksgiving Day,
on the east side grounds, between the
"OwlS" and the clerks or any other
unfortunate team who aspire to the
distinguished honor of broken shnS,
diSloCated cuticle, warped noses, etc,
in set-to with the defiant Owls"
The first public break took place on
Jefferson street on Tuesday, under the
flare of the electric light tentative
tustle, when Louie Hess brought out
the inflated rubber sphere, in which a
score or more Of the boys Of the corner
took part, every man law unto him
self, but all filled with the laudable
ambition to test the kicking abilities
Of their right pedal appendages now in
danger Of growing inactive under the
cnervating influence OF the restful
nickle deposited in the slot Of the
street car. 1t was not game, only a
go-aS-you-please kicking match; but
it gave promise Of future rusheS, the
"scare head" reports of which will
be duly decorated with pen pictures of
"blonde hair blotched with crimson
stains" "faces scratched with longi-
tudinal streaks," crack" slam and
a bang" and so on till the unfortu-
mates 90 to the wall.
Oh, yes foot ball is great game
for the doctors, when it is played " for
keeps"

Insane.

Dennis O'Connell was on trial Fri.
day for horse stealing and made nc
defense excepting that Of insanity.
A jury was impaneled early in the
day and the case opened by the state
and defense, Maloney and Stead ap.
pearink for O'Connell.
G. j. Cunyea was the first witness
for the state. He testified that his
horse was stolen from the barn of
Charles Ballou, in Dayton township
on Jan. %. He went to Chicago with
Sheriff MOrrissey and identified the
horse at Lambs livery stable. OCOn-
nell was trying to sell the horse to
Lamb and said that he had purchased
him on the boulevard.
Sheriff Morrissey swOre that he had
arrested O'Connell and that he had
confessed the crime on the train when
he was bringing him back to this
county.
Albert Lamb, John O'Hern and Off
Ger Boyd, all of Chicago, identified
O'COnnell as having had the horse in
his possession when arrested.
The defense set up plea of insan-
ity, and practically admitted that the
defendant had stolen the horse, fact
which seemed apparent from the evil
dence.
DR.. Butterfeld testified that he had
made an examination of O'Connell,
and considered him insane.
DR.. Hathaway and DR.. Dyer believed
the prisoner insane. DR.. Hathaway
had read the dispositions of Buffalo,
N. Y, physicians, saying that the
mans mother and father are both
insane.
The case was given to the jury at
five o'clock Friday evening, and is the
first instance of plea of insanity hav-
ing been presented as defense to an
indictment for horse stealing.

The Right Spirit.

A few days since gentlemen from
Peru called on the president Of the
Choral Union, and asked If persons
from other towns would be welcome at
the rehearsals Monday evenings. II
don't hardly know how I'll pass the
winter" said he, ''if can't sing with
some chorus" He had been "A member
of the Peoria chorus and was fairly
homesick for the inspiring music he
had been accustomed TO sing in that
excellent organization. He was told
to come right along and bring Others
with him.
Now this is the spirit that we wish
might come upon every singer in Otta-
wa, viz: a willingness to even sacrifice
their own convenience for the sake OF
building up "A choral society as good as
any in the State. We believe this
could be done if all the singers of the
city would unite in the effort.

Moral Stories.

A couple of good stories are told
this week with enough of moral to
each to warrant repeating:
1t appears the other day a wagon
maker had sold wagon, and when
the buyer had paid for it, he felt so
good over his bargain he invited the
dealer around the corner to take
"suthin" while he got his jug filed to
take home.
"What's whisky worth now-a-days?"
he asked.
"Two dollars gallon" said the man
with a be-diamOnd shirt front.
1.-Two dollars. There it goes again
Whisky two dollars and oats Is cents.
When | voted last fall thought
was voting for whisky at Is cents and
oats at two dollars bushel. A fellow
never can tell how these politics are
going to work, anyhow"
Two young fellows were arguing on
the tariff.
"Now," said one of them, ''if Smith
has horse and ! have $3.50, isn't it
better for me to buy Smiths horse
with my money and keep the horse
and the money in the country than to
spend the money in the old country?'
"Possibly," said the young man,
"But suppose you took one hundred
of your hundred and fifty dollars and
sent one to the old country and bought
as good horse and got him over here
for one hundred dollars. You and
Smith would then each have horse
and $50 besides. Wouldn't you be richer
by that deal?"
No. one didn't know that he would.

Upon the subject of Character of the

From all that can be learned one need not
hesitate in asserting that the working
women of this country arc Us honest and as
virtuous us any other class of our citizens.
The social standing of working-women Is
becoming better mi better. The honest
working-woman engaged in honest labor is
entitled to the respect Of nll honest-minded
people. She should be welcomed in tho
churches Of the cities. and should be drawn
into the best associations. where social and
moral surroundings would aid her in culti-
waiting her W self-respect. At least It
should not be possible to class her as the
forgotten woman. for her struggle is too he
roic. her hardships too painful. her lot too
dreary for Christian people to t%houghtlessly
pass her by"

Chief Of the Signal Service Greedy
does not anticipate . late spring be.
cause the winter, 80 far, has been mild
and open. In o letter to a friend he
says: @The significance Of the unus-
uni weather condition for the last sev-
en- months can be explained only with
reference to the abnormal distribution
of atmospheric pressure over the north
crn hemisphere. Under the doctrine
of averages, we could reasonably look
for an open, mild winter, since the last
spring and summer were cooler than
usual, and to counterbalance the de-
ficiency of temperature in the spring
and summer, there should be an excess
in the winter just now beginning.
This, however, cannot be regarded as
responsible for future prophecies, since
the scientific use of averages can only
refer to very long periods, and cannot
safely be referred to in periods such as
six months or q year, in case of tenn
perature OF rainfall. "-Pfuirie Farmer.
