Lake Crystal, Mimi, July 3lst, 1897.
April 9Th, 1892, my little boy, just four
years old, was terribly scalded by falling
backward into pail full of boiling water.
He fell into it in such a manner that he re-
NAMED doubled up until his mother, who
was in the next room, could come to his res
cue, In tearing his clothing from him, the
skin and flesh came OIL in strips, and the
mothers hands were badly burned. The
skin came off his body from above the middle
Of the back to below the calves of his legs.
The burn was deep and the case desperate.
For two months he was under the care of our
family physician. We then took him to st.
Paul and acting under his alvce called in one
of the leading surgeons Of the city, who took
the case in charge. Other physicians were
called in consultation; sixty pieces of skin
were grated at one time, yet notwithstand-
ing all the skill of the doctors and the most
unremitting care, two months afterwards all
hope bad been given up For months he
had lain on pillows with his face down and
suffered terribly. He had no appetite and
could retain nothing on his stomach.
The sores were indolent and for two
months had lain perfectly dormant. My
attention was then called to Aliens Uterine
Salve, and in desperation, ready to try any.
thing that promised help, we commenced its
use. Results were apparent at once. II at
once aroused the sores to action and stimu
lated healthy discharge. We kept the
| boys strength up with preparation of
beefs blood and wine, and in about two
months he was we'll on the road to recovery,
and we were able to remove him back to our
home. Thirteen months from the time he
was injured he was perfectly restored 1t
has been over four years since the cure was
effected and the boy is perfectly well and
remarkably strong and active ! believe
that Aliens Ulcerine Salve saved his life, as
when we commenced its use all hopes had
been given up, and blood poisoning was ex-
pected to set in any moment. 1t was four
months after he was burned before we be.

PI,AUDIT WON EASILY.

Louisville, KY, May 11.-Plaudit
picked up ten pounds more than he car
ried in the Kentucky Derby and won
the Clark stakes this afternoon in a
gallop. Martin drove Lieber Karl from
the head of the stretch, but to no pur-
pose.
A crowd of ten thousand people were
at Churchill Downs to-day to see the
second meeting OF the contest for the
derby honors and incidentally the five
other races on the card But one favor
lite, Saratoga, in the opening event, was
first under the wire. Only Lieber Karl
and Plaudit went to the post in the
Clark stakes Lieber Karl was heavily
played at prohibitive odds of 35 to 100,
while Plaudit by reason of the odds and
his performance in the derby carried
considerable money at to /.
When the flag went down Martin at
once went out to set the pace. The for
ester colt was in front by a length
when they passed the stand, and this
was increased to two lengths when they
went around the first turn. But down
the back stretch Williams gradually
closed the gap and when they straight
ened out for the final effort in the
stretch, Plaudit was half a length in
front and running easy. But not SO
with Lieber Karl. He had given signs
OF distress at the six furlong pole, and
although Martin urged him with whip
and spur, he was not equal to Plaudit
as a race horse, and the son of Himyar
won as he pleased by four lengths.

MORE ARMS TO GO.
Another Steamer at Tampa Ready to

Army.

Tampa, Fla, May 11.-There is good
reason to believe that inside of twen-
/ ty-four hours another expedition with
the same purpose and destination as
that of the Gussie which left here yes
terday loaded with arms and ammuni-
ton and supplies for the Cuban insur-
gents, will slip from Port Tampa. The
Florida, one of the Plant line boats
chartered by the government for use as
a transport, has taken a large cargo Of
Springfield rifles and ammunition, and
stalls for horses and mules have been
completed. The boat is lying at the
dock with full steam up, and no one is
allowed on board. General Wade went
out TO the port to-day and held a long
conference with superintendent Fitz-
gerald, of the Plant line steamer, and
it is believed that orders were given to
have the boat ready for sailing at a
moments notice.

ped.
Washington, May 1.-THE courier
who is on his way here with letters
from Gen. Gomez to President Palma,
of the Cuban delegation, has stopped
at Tampa and Will not reach here for
a day or two. Gen. Nunez, of the Gu
ban army, after comforting with the
Cuban authorities here and with Gen.
Miles, left for Tampa last night. AL
though the courier will bring detailed
advices from Gomez, the Cuban officials
here are well informed on the general
status of the Cuban forces in the field,
and this subject has been gone over
fully with the War Department Off
Gals. In a general way it is stated
that entire harmony exists between
the Cuban authorities and the War
Department as TO the. resources and
effective fighting force of Gen Gomez
and Gen. Garcia. The Cuban authori-
ties are ready and willing to have the
fullest cooperation by the United
States troops ON Cuban soil, and it is
said there is no ground for the reports
that Gen. Gomez desires to act single
handed in securing Cuban independ-
ence.
Concerning the strength of the Gu
ban forces in the field, the Cuban rep
resentatives here say that the recent
advices fully bear out all that the
Cuban authorities have claimed, name
ly, that there are in all about 10000
men either under arms or ready to take
arms as soon as guns and ammunition

MARTINS FERRY.

The sad news. receivad here yester-
day from Denver, Col, that John w.
Crooks had died there yesterday morn
ing, spread pail of sadness over the
community. Just ten days ago he left
for Denver, expecting the change of
climate to benefit his fast failing
health. He was too late in going, for
the decline had proceeded too far. For
several months Mr.. Crooks health had
been failing, and within the last month
his condition became so that he was
forced to give up his position and make
preparation for seeking more favor
able climate.
The deceased was thirty-four years
old and came to this place when about
three years old, with his widowed mo-
ther Early in left he was thrown up
on his own resources. The opportun-
ity presented itself and John w. Crooks
began to climb the ladder of a self
made man. His genial disposition, So
cable ways and honest and energetic
character made him many friends, all
who honored and respected him. He
began life as news boy, later clerked
in shoe store, and finally secured a
position as correspondent of the Regis
ter. This position he held until 1885,
when he went to st. Paul. where he
worked on the St. Paul Globe. In 1887
he returned from ST. Paul and became
the Martins Ferry correspondent Of
the Intelligencer, which position he
held until forced to resign on account
of his health. His life, which has end
ed SO early, was characterized from be-
ginning to end by the same active and
untiring energy. His remains will not
be brought home for burial, as it was
his desire to be buried in Denver.
