BABYs SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Scrofula Sores.
cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in q week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. It
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. S. WRoTEN, Farming

Emmett Dalton, Notorious Outlaw,
Chafes Over Prison Life.

Kansas City, Dec. 19.-Emmett Dali
ton, who was captured during the at
tempt at wholesale bank robbery in
Coffeyville, Kan, five years ago, and
sentenced to Imprisonment for life, is
about to apply for a pardon. Judge
J. D. McCue of this city, who was for
five years judge of the district court of
Montgomery county, Kansas, and who
passed sentence upon Emmett Dalton,
has received letter from him, saying:
will you kindly write and forward
to me such letter of recommendation,
addressed to the governor and board of
pardons, as will do me for future use?"
When Judge McCue was asked if he
would grant the request of the outlaw,
he replied:
Il certainly could not consistently
recommend executive clemency now.
What action [ might take some years
later 1 cannot now say. There is no
question in my mind but that Dalton
should be severely punished"
In the Dalton raid four of the des-
peradoes and four citizens were killed
and number injured. Emmett Dalton
was severely injured, and captured
while attempting to assist his brother
Bob, who was fatally wounded. to es-
cape.

big robbery, the authorities hoping. to
experience less trouble in getting him
back or the charge preferred. He was
arrested at Shares station. and after
searching him Sheriff Crocheron, of
Owyhee county, placed him in the stage.
They had been seated but moment when
Jones reached down and from somewhere
pulled out big siX-shooter, handing it to
the alarmed sheriff with the remark
Here, take this, you might not want me
to have it, He could have held up the
entire party.
Crocheron brought him to Nampa on the
railroad for the Oregon officials, putting
an Oregon boot on him. In ten minutes
after the boot had been fastened onto him
he unlocked it in come mysterious man
ner and kicked it towards the sheriff. The
officers, when they arrived al Nampa
shackled him. but in short time it was
discovered he had sawed the shackles
off, using file made by himself out of a
case knife which he had tempered per-
fectly and secured about his person
Sheriff Crocheron breathed a big sight of
relief when the oregon sheriff took Jones
off his hands.
