A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Scrofulous Humors How a 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.
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 scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and VIC 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"

FIERY sOLONs MEET
Lie Is Passed in White House Between
Angry Kentuckians

There came near being tragedy at the
White House yesterday.
The difficulty arose over a question of
patronage, and the participants were w.
j. Deboe, United States senator from Ken
lucky, and John d. White, ex-congress-
man from the same state. Mr.. White thinks
his discretion alone prevented homicide
Deboe recently recommended r. d. Hill
of Williamsburg to be United States dis
trict attorney for Kentucky, and the pres
ident sent the nomination to the senate
Mr White, who lives at Manchester, is a
personal enemy of HILL and he claims that
Deboe promised to ask the president to
withdraw Hills name, but Deboe denies
this.
While Mr.. Mckinley was absent in Phil
adelphia last Tuesday the nomination was
confirmed.
The two men met in the White House to-
day, and White charged Deboe with bad
faith.
The lie was passed, and the pugnacious
Kentuckians agreed to go outside and
fight.
AS they passed out White says he saw
Deboe reach toward his pistol pocket, and,
as he was unarmed, he returned to the ex-
ecutive mansion, to avoid being killed. De-
Doe said tonight he never carried pistol.
Both men are fighters, and further
trouble is almost certainly Washington
