ALlTTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How 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 at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 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 humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned" )"

South Bend. Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla OF all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

Sioux Want to Erect u Monument on
Wounded Knee battlefield.

The desire Of Sioux Indians to erect a
monument to their warriors who partici-
pated in the battle OF Wounded Knee, as
reported in dispatch from Rapid City,
s. D., has not been officially communicated
to the Washington authorities, and pend
ing the receipt of the petition of the In
dams no attention will be paid to the mat
ter. Just what action will be taken then
is only conjectural, though many of the
veterans in the Indian service think it
would be just to the Indians, in view of
the extenuating circumstances of the fight,
and as a simple token of recognition of
the valor of the tribe. No similar issue
has been raised before, SO far as the au-
thorities here can recall. though such
marks of commemoration as stones, ETC.,
have been placed on a battlefield to rep
resent the marches of some OF the Indian
leaders. The attempt to raise substantial
shaft on lines of the government monu-
ments already erected is an idea new in
Indian history. and is taken to indicate
greater civilization among the Indians

BOTH WE'RE SlRPRIsED.
Accused md Accuser Find Charges of
Record Not Authorized.

When Policeman Bloom appeared before

surprised at some of the allegations com
tanned in the charge against him. Mr.. al.
{. Atwood, the insurance adjuster OF Bos-
ton, VINO had preferred the complaint Was
also surprised. for he said he had never
intended 10 charge the officer with any
thing other than having failed to report
the accident to Col. l.. Edwin Dudley OF

tending the Inauguration.
Colonel Dudley, was published in The

room at No. AL 9th street, where he
manned all night suffering intense agony.
Others in the house thought that the
noise was the result of too much liquor,
ard called in the officer, but the latter
found the colonel in the frightful condition
stated.
When the insurance adjuster came on ne
could not lind a report of the accident on
the police books, and he called on Po-
liceman Bloom. The officer related his YER
SIGN of the affair. but not quite ac-
commodating, afterward, the adjuster
thought he might have been. Later the
officer made an affidavit in which he did
not say that Colonel Dudley was under ;he
influence Of liquor and this was displaas-
ing to the insurance man, who alleged that
ne Hdu oecf toiu ar eulliely Inherent story
of the affair. He. however, did not accuse
the officer of having made false state
ment, but simply with having failed 20
make report of the accident.
Mr.. Atwood said he learned that Colonel
Dudley had been taken to the Emergency
Hospital, in the hospital ambulance, but he
did rot &c TO the hospital TO make an In
vesugation. On the other side. the police.
man made denial of the statement cf Mr..
Atwood, and said it was Mr.. Atwood who
had asked him IL he had not found
whisky bottle i'm the colonels pocket. He
denied that he had detected any idence
of liquor on the injured man. and said he
mad stated the case correctly I'm his afii-
davit. Bloom said he made a report OF the
affair to the station. and the man who was
acting stationkeepcr failed to record il.
Other witnesses were examined for the de-
Tense.
