LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
TO be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed OF his condition. Ny
yyife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsapariila. We decided to give
it to our .boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the hunaor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

PLEASANTON STOCK FARM.
Creditors Trying to Force the Com

OAKLAND, Aug. 24-The creditors
of the Pleasanton Stock Farm are try
ing to force the corporation into insolv-
ency. The effort is being resisted and
the battle has become a lively strug-
gle in the Superior Court
Involved in the affairs of the big
Alameda horse breeding establishment
were those of the veteran turfman,
Monroe Salisbury, who now has a
string of trotters on the Eastern cir
cults.
In their petition to have the affairs
of the company thrown into the insolv-
ency court, the creditors have declared
that the corporation has attempted to
remove property from the State. This
referred specifically to a. number of
valuable race horses, which, it was
claimed. We're Salisburys property.
The creditors contend that Salisbury
and the Pleasanton Stock Farm are one
and the same thing.
Frank Lewis and J. H Neal were
examined to-day as to their claims. The
contest progressed slowly. Before it
is completed the creditors will ask the
court to appoint an assignee to take
charge of the property.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-The North

when the Yukon breaks up. The yes
sci occupied four fat cars and one box
car. She was taken apart by a ship
