Head Cut or by an Elevator.

JERSEY CITY. May 80.-During the
absence of the elevator man, l5-year-old
Abram Nuchensky jumped on the eleva-

stand the working of the elevator ropes,
and when he tried to stop the machine
he pulled the wrong rope, which sent it
up faster than ever. Nuchensky stuck
his head out and was caught between
the floor above and the side of the ma

CHEEKS A RAW SORE

For one year my little boy was troubled with
eczema. After trying three eminent physl-

came raw sore. Then spots began to break
out on hisbody; and am of an opinion that If
had not tried CUTICURA REMEDIES, my boy
would to-day have been covered from head TO
foot with the terrible disease. After using
the remedies for two months he was entirely
cured, and is now as fair as any boy. / send

To The PEOPLE OF MOWER County:

To The PEOPLE OF MOWER COUNTY: -
The undersigned has been named by
the executive of our state to receive
such contributions as the generous peo-
pie of this county may choose to make
for the object set forth in the above
call Whether this amount shall be
little or much, whatever is done should
be done quickly.
The writer is informed by Gov Mer-
riam that a million pounds of -four have
already been subscribed, besides re-
spectacle sum of money. An agent
from this state will accompany the ship
ment direct to its destination, and SUI
perintend its distribution, and the
general government will undoubtedly
send representative. No uneasiness
need, therefore, be felt as to whether
these contributions will reach the proper
objects of our charity.
These people are not OUR PEOPLE,
but humanity is one, and such dire,
widespread distress touches the hu-
name instincts of all of us. A large
contribution from any single individual
is not expected, but surely there are but
few to whom the knowledge of these
facts and call may come but will be
willing to cast in a mite.
Is it too much to ask that in each of
the one hundred and thirty one school
districts Of Mower county the sum of SIS
shall be contributed, and let the credit
therefor go to the school children?
Is it not well to remember that in the
time of our great need during the Re
bellion it was largely Russia's friend
ship that prevented the acknowledge
ment of the Southern Confederacy by
other European governments? And
shall we not, by the spirit in which we
respond to the appeal, show that
'"Tbrobbing and warm are the hearts that re-
Who was our friend when the world was our
foe"
Respectfully, O. W. SHAW.

II Was Not a Man.

Officer G. O. White has lately been put
on the Twenty-sixth street beat, which
includes Puyallup avenue. White is a
fearless officer, and the other night, as he
was making his beat along Puyallup ave.
nue. in deep shade close to the side of 8
building, he deserted the form of what
he supposed to be hobo taking a snooze.
OF course that would never do, so with a
preliminary whirl of his club, little
cough, and perceptible heightening Of
his stature he approached the hobo.
sCome alang out o that meow, will
oo?' he exclaimed.
The hobo moved not SO much as a
muscle.
.sD'ye hear me? / sayed COON alang
ouet O that, will 90? Yez won't, eh? Wull,
I'll show yez."
With that White grabbed the supposed
hobo by the back Of the neck, There
was short, preliminary growl, theclank-
ing of chsin, and then the fur fairly
flew. It was the pet black bear Of the
Union club saloon that White had awak-
ened. For about twenty-five minutes
there was little the iveliest scrapping
match there or thereabouts that has ever
been known in police circles, and when
White got out Of reach Of the cub he was
minus brand new macintosh, 1--WE
dollar hat, the aleeves Of his uniform and
his breath, and he was plus numerous
wounds and scratches, bruises and black
spots And to cap the climax, the young
bruin stood guard over his handouts, bis
gun and his club. Tacoma News.

WHAT IS
SCROFULA

It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs. or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimples, cam
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it Is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.
