Shed SKIN 20 TIMES

Skin Came off With
The Bandaues.
Screams Were Heart-Breakinq,
Four Doctors and Medical
Institute No Avail,
Improvement After the Second
Application of Cuticura. Now
Completely Cured.

Ny little son, boy of five, broke out with an
itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him.
but he kept getting worse, until we could not
dress him any more. They finally advised me
to try certain medical college, but its treatment
to try CUTICURA REMEDIES, he was 30 bad that
had to cut his hair all off, and put the Curr-
CURA (ointment) on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare hand.
There Uas not one square inch of skin on his
,ohote body that soas not affected. He was one
mass of sores, and the stencil from him was
frightful. The bandages used to stick to his
skin, and in removing them it used to take the
skin off with them, and the screams from the
poor child were heart breaking. l began to
think that he would never get well, but after the
second application of CUTIcURA (ointment) I
began to see signs Of improvement, and with the
third and fourth applications the sores COM
menced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. I
used the CUTIcURA REsoLvENT for his blood.
and now can say that he is entirely cured, and
stronger and healthier boy you lever saw than
he is to-day. 81 tf

Dale Avenue to BE Completed to
ThunderbOIt by the End of Week.
The prospect is that by the end of this
week Dale avenue, the new county road to
Thundcrbolt, will have been completed.
The road has been surfaced for distance
of two miles with Augusta gravel to a
width of tweuty-four feet, ard the work is
now done to a point within a quarter of a
mile from Thunderbolt. If the gravel ar
rives promptly and there is no nnishap 9TH
erwise, the work will be completed about
the end Of the week or the first of next
week.
The gang of fifty honds that was at
work on the road has been divided for
sometime now. and about twenty-five of
them are working on the drainage around
the city. The gang has been engaged for
canal, and this work Is about completed.
The gang has also done work on some of
the other nearby canals and bitches.
As soon as the work on Dale avenue has
been completed the entire gang working
there will be transferred to the work on
the drainage near the city, making fifty
or sixty men in all on that work. One of
the commissioners said work on the local
drainage having begun a month earlier
this year, there would be no trouble in do
ing il well and finishing it in good season
with the two gangs of twenty-five or thir-
ty men. There are about fifty or fifty-five
men working at Buckhalter.

were too small to be of assistance. She
dispatched them to the nearest neighbor's,
and, selling a pitchfork, ran at once to
the bull.
She attacked him viciously in the flank,
driving the prongs of che fork fully four
inches into the bulls flesh. Stin he con-
tinued to grind his victim with the broken
horn. Mrs. Keenan, grew desperate. She
walked around to the animals head. and

ENGLAND'S DEMANDS IN CHINA.

Terms ms Russia Got Port Arthur.


London, April 4-The Pekin correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph says England
has demanded Wei-Hai-Wei for the same
period and on the same terms as the Rus
sian tenure of Port Arthur
The Daily News says 1t understands the
British demands with reference to Wei
Hai-Wei involve no claim 10 the hinter-
land. 1t says; England only desires a
coalng station further north than
Hong Kong. Russia, as we be-
lieve, will acquiesce in the ar
rangement, and Lord Salisbury has
all along sought friendly arrangement
with Russia
The. Times explains that the hinterland
Of Wei-Hai-Wei is a portion of the prov
ince of Shan-Tung, and therefore Ger
manys sphere
The editorials in the morning papers ex.
press satisfaction at the news, especially
as applying to an understanding between
England and Japan. The Daily Chronicle
and the Daily News, however, although
they admit the advantages, have consid-
cradle doubts as to the wisdom of the
policy, which seems likely to irritate Ger
many, and perhaps Russia also.
The Daily Chronicle says 1t means that
the policy Of an open door is frankly aban-
doned and the partition of China actively
begun 1T Is therefore an admission of the
failure of British aims"
