Driest Season for Years.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 7.-Old settlers of
the northern part of the state say this has
been the driest season for years. Vege-
tation has been parched and crops blasted.
Wells and springs have dried up, and as
a result of the scarcity of water stock has
suffered greatly. Prairie fires in Som
mers and Bristol, caused by sparks from
passing engines, destroyed considerable
property belonging to the farmers All
kinds of means have been adopted to stay
the advance of the flames. In some cases
where the fire was apparently eXtin-
guished it continues to burn below the
surfaces.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered Win
ScrofuIous Humors - How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When Ave years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t 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 at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofuIa and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
1t to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles OF Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"
