TWO ARMED MEN CAME Up.

TO make the story short, the surveyor
drew plot of the town on paper, the
lots were numbered, and the slips Of
paper bearing the numbers from 1. to
500 were placed in the hat. Then each
man drew a slip from the hat, and the
number located his lot. By this means
bloodshed was avoided, for, by tha
old method of run, dozen men with
guns would have rushed to each COR
ner lot.
cat night about 500 of the gam
blers and toughest characters Of Guth-
RE came in and camped near by. They
swore they proposed to drive my
crowd out at the point of Winchesters
and take the town site away from u.s..
We sent a committee to effect COM

as square deal. The enemy broke

$1,000 fell into my hands in few min

still on paper, and the money was to
pay for the surveying that would be
done.

opened, and under its exhilarating in

everybody to the bone.
THE next morning a troop of United

everybody skedaddle out of the strip.

Itching,
Burning,
Eczema

Is the external indication of con-
dition of the blood which produces q
fiery irritation almost unbearable. It is
mistake.to think that this local irrita-
ton is the disease itself-it is simply an
evidence of disordered condition of the
blood. . The seat of the disease is in the
blood, and this is why thevarious salves
and ointments usually applied have no
effect whatever. They cannot possibly
reach the origin of the trouble; only a
blood remedy can do that. S. S. S. is
without an equal for blood diseases, and
promptly and permanently cures Eczema
and removes all faint.
Much torture could be avoided if the
first itching symptoms were needed and
acourse of S.S.S. taken promptly, as ap-
parently insignificant skin irritations
usually develop into the worst form
Of Eczema unless properly treated.
It matters not what other treatment
has been tried in vain, S. S. S. always
gets at the seat of the disease, and
forces it out.
Mr.. William Armstrong, an old resi-
dent and highly respected citizen Of
De Pere, Wis, writes on April 1st, 1896.

morning by the king in person. Queer
M4rgherita was also present and four
hundred deputies and one hundred SEN
ators were in attendance but the re-
absent. The speech from the
throne announced the institution of a

accord with all The other Europeans to

political program outlined by the
speech wa received very coldly.

The BOokman is hot after Greece. 1t
says: Last year, when the revived
Olympic games were ueiug celebrated
in Athens, and when the newspapers
were talking about this as Il continu-
ance Of the splendid traditions of the
race, we felt called upon to point out
that the alleged Gre-ks of today are
not really Greeks at all, but hybrid
combination Of Slav, Turk and sundry
other ethnic strains: and low that the
same people have been making an ab-
surd bluff of lighting all Europe we
think it necessary 10 reiteraLe the same
bit of information. Nothing can be more
ridiculous than this talk about their
'emulating the heroic deeds of their
ancestors, and there is no evidence that
the modern Greeks are capable of en-
gaging in auyth ing more heroic than
the wearing of petticoats, the selling of
dried currants and the cheating Of the
national cre1 itOr.'

this motion was lost by Il vo:e OF ayes
