Eczema
All Her Life.

Mr.. E. d. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ca,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external appli-
cations and internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.

waste basket. He hadn't been there
long before Editor Sperry Of the Republic
wended his way in, when the follow ing
conversation took up old Toms attention
GOOD morning, Mr.. Hicklin. Say f!
how about those new coins, three pieces
for dollar, that so many are talking
about? notice THE HERALD speaks OF
this bank having received some recently
and would esteem it favor ii you will

the facts must be given. Mr.. Hicklin
produced the two shining quarters and q
half dollar. and the scene closed so far as
the caves dropping cat was concerned,
with but a single ejaculation from the
Republics news gatherer much like this ::
"Oh, its josh, after ALL"

Mr.. Hicklin found it difficult to walk
down town without being stopped at
every turn and quizzed about the new
specie. Mayor Fechter. and even Attor.
ney Englehart could mt resist the tempta-
ton to learn something new on finance.
Say, Mr.. Hicklin, how about those new
coins that The HERALD speaks Of" said
Mr.. Englehart. "What about them ~
was the reioinder. "Well, is it SOP"
yes" Three for dollarw inquired
the mayor. Eyes, SIR" care they

who had joined the group. "Most Ger.

job cashier. I'D like very much to see
Them" said Mr.. Englehart; Haven't
any with you, have your" EYES," said
Mr.. Hicklin, and as he reached into his
pocket and drew them forth, our worthy
fellow townsmen gathered about him and
beheld two quarters and the necessary
half, all dated 1897. There was no
tragedy at this juncture. we are pleased
to state, but disappointment, humiliation
aud chagrin were blended in the chorus
OF "oh's."
"How is this" said Fred Janeck,
three coins for dollar ?" Eyes"
Lets see them" and as they were pro-
duced and carefully scanned, Fred in
vited Mr.. II. over to the cigar case,
and, with smile handed him one of
Weyler's Perfectos.
1t would hardly be supposed that a
man like Doc Coe, who is always looking
for someone rs the butt of his jokes,
would bite at such a thing, and he would
not under ordinary circumstances, but
since he became Benedict he is a little
absent minded and was "dead easy"
victim. He has since borrowed two
quarters and half from THE HERALD
man and We suspect has tried to work
the game on his wife.

JACK SHAW AND THE BABIES.

Sheriff Jack Shaw is close observer
of the human family. He is aso hop
grower, and of course has required sew
eral more hands than those with which
nature has endowed him, to harvest his
crop. Last week he secured As Indian
pickers and started with them for his
ranch at Tsmpico. One by one they be-
gan to fade. away until he had but II
left. Jack saw that he must do some
thing to hold them so he began by telling
stories, interrupting the trend once
in a while by kissing the papooses all
around and complimenting the squaws
on the healthy appearances of their off
spring. The dusky maiden also tell a
victim to Jacks smooth fattery and
smiled family as he would remind her of
the symmetry and gracefulness of her
figure. With the old men Jack had to re-
sort to politics, and every once in while
would give them turn at the old aud
only speech that he made during the
campaign of '96. But Jack managed to
land quite..a number safely at the des-
tined point after all, but what he is out
for hay, watermelons, peanuts, tsffy and
flutes he rufuses to say.

The "bloomer base ball girls" have
come and gone. They leave behind them
many little incidents which will nc
soon be forgotten by the gallant young
manager of the event and the chivalrous
unmarried players OF the Yakima team
The girls being from Boston (?) the game
was devoid of such vulgar remarks ss
"plsy ban" and instead we heard zen
gage the leather sphere in alternate and
reciprocating action" Fred Chandler
caught the inspiration and at different
stages of the game would exclaim "Be
chivalrous, boys; be chivalrous." He
also avoided saying, "Get up on your
toes" 80 familiar to baseball artists, but
would use the more euphonious and Bos-
tonian expression, Kindly elevate your
pb-p''"' cSi"S VIZ youi pVout CAtChi-
ties" Mr.. Vance umpired the game to
the entire satisfaction of all, but he, too
used well guarded language and avoided
western phrsseology to such an extent
that many times the boys of the home
nine were unable to comprehend fully
his meaning. The last seen of Manager
Fred Miller was after the game politely
engaged in repairing some of damaged
apparel of the young lady that did the
pitching, and, by the way, some are un.
kind enough to say it wasn't a bloomer
lady after all only boy with long hair.
The girls had been led to believe up to
within few moments of the game that
there would be banquet of pork and
beans in the evening, given in their
honor, but this was purely misunder.
stan ling on their part. 1t didn't msteri-
ally affect the result of the game, only
there was an absence Of "ginger" among
the feminine twirlers that WAS painfully
conspicuous from the grand stand.

GOING EAST ?
IF YOU ARE,
DO NOT FORGET
THREE IMPORTANT POINTS

FIRST-Go via St. Paul be-
cause the lines to that point will
afford you the very best service.
SECOND-See that the cou-
pom beyond St. Paul reads via
the Wisconsin Central because
that line makes close connections
with all the trans-continental
lines entering the Union Depot
there and its service is frst-class
in every particular.
.THIRD-For information call
on your neighbor and friend

women Identified the rings taken from the
vat as being the property OF Mrs. Luet-
gert. The nece said she at one time had

ger Joint which were found in the factory
and Will endeavor TO show that they be-
longed TO the missing woman
Luetgert consulted frequently with his
counsel and once rose up in his place and
carefully examined a ring with the initials
IL. L." in the inside, and which according
to the witnesses for the State, were mrs.

Mrs. Anna Geisser, of Chicago Heights

it positively. The witness produced a
photograph OF herself taken I'm 1883. when
she wore two rings. Mrs. Luetgert, she
said offered her the rings to have her
pictures taken.
There was a sensation when Mrs. Chris
tine F'eldt, of 15l Clybourn avenue, was
called as a witness for the State. Mrs.
Feldt Is the widow whose name has been
so often mentioned in connection with the
case. IL was believed she would be one or
the main witnesses for the defence but
she had not been before the jury two min
utes when IL became apparent she mad
gone over TO the prosecution.
She produced bundles OF letters written
TO her by Luetgert in his cell in jail and
carried to her home by Luetgert's son,
Arnold. The letters were filled with en-
dearing terms. They began Beloved,
Dear Christine" or Beloved Christine" F"

SIX PERSONS KILLED.
Thirty Others Injured by an Explosion OF
Natural Gas.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Sept. 4.-Broad
Rlpple. a suburb of Indianapolis three
miles from the city proper was TINS
morning the scene OF the most terrible
disaster that has ever visited the state;
Six persons were burned 20 ogath' @i1S ~
thirty people are lying in the homes ot
neighbors burned, SCARED and WIN
broken bones. ,. -
-Four buildings, occupying a block or
the town, are In ruins
OF the six dead nothing but charTed ana
blackened bones remain. Two OF the dead
are still unidentified there being no way
OF identification excepting by hstlnS
those who remain.
IL is supposed that natural gas had
accumulated in the Watts cellar ana
that some one went to the dark room
with a light. A dreadful explosion fol-
lowed. IL shattered the building and IN
jured all the occupants. Houses IN the
suburbs were shaken, and farmers IN the
country heard the shock. The building
was a two-story frame, and caught fre
from the flames People ran from their
homes
The ha I'd FIRE apparatus was hurriedy
dragged to the burning building. There
was no water supply at hand ana the
hose was laid In the direction or White
river But the hose would not reach 10
the stream and n large crowd OF per-
sons stood helpless as they watched the
building burn. Women ran in the streets
crying and wringing their hands The
men who went TO the rescue found fierce
fire as we'll as heavy debris In their
course Their hands were burned and
they almost suffocated from the heat, but
they worked heroically 10 remove the
timber and the debris under which they
knew their neighbors were buried.
The Odd-Fellows' building was also
wooden structure and II was a seething
mass OF fire before the first man was res
oued The work OF rescue was slow and
II was well on into the afternoon before
the last body was taken out
The money loss will likely not amount
10 more than $4,000. All Of the buildings
DESTROYED were wooden ones.
