BABYS SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
 Tells all about Her Troubles when
 Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.
 "At 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 physi- elan and tried his medicine, and in 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 Sarsaparilia, 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. WEoTEN, Farming ton, Delaware. Get only Hoods.

When You are Tired

Without extra exertion, languid, dull and listless, your blood is failing to supply to your muscles and other organs the vital izing and strength giving properties they require. Hoods Sarsaparilla cures that tired feeling by enriching the blood. It will give you energy and vigor.

Aoro.srHHsORDER

The DlarIO Onclhi oi AoSo""y Iished the decree of the Department of Communication declaring null ana void the concession granted far the construction of the Mexican South eastern railway from San Geronimo to the Guatemala frontier. This was due to the fact that the time or one year in which 100 kilometers were to be built expired December 5O, and the company could give no assurance that if tbe time were extended it could complete the work within a reason able period. The guarantee deposit of $50, ,0OO in bonds of the public debt is. therefore, forfeited and goes into the public treasure.
 The new Mexican dollars al d twenty cent pieces are decidedly handsome and credit to the department where the designing was done. In fact they are so handsome-and so new that they are often refused in some of the smaller business establishments where the proprletors are not familiar with the change. In consideration of the fact that the counterfeiters are hav- ing it their own way until recently one can hardly blame shop keepers for being on the safe side of careful.
 The earnings of the National rail- road for the first week of January were sl03, ,661.59, as against sS4,2l4.5S for the same period of last year; an increase efsl9,447.06.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Word comes from the Mormon colonies that the Mexican and American authorities have combined forces and are SCOUT tug the Sierra Madre mountains in search of Black Jack and his sgang who have been known to rendezvous in the northern part of this state, for some time. It is to be hoped that they win be successful and rid the country of this band of outlaws.
 The president of the republic aud quite arrived in Tampico Monday, on board the school ship Zaragoza and were greeted by several high govern ment officials.
 Any person knowing anything in regard to the death of O. White, a miner, which is supposed to have oc- cured in the Sierra Madre mountains in January of last year, will confer 2 favor by writing particulars to his brother 0. c. White, Hendricks, Illinois.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Friday fast, the national bank of Mexico com. menced to circulate the new twenty cent pieces, which are to take the place of the quarter and half dollar coins. In accordance with the decree in regard to this matter, which was extensively circulated, the object of the government is to simplify, as far as possible, the subdivision of the dollar, The size of the new coin is between that of the ten cent and the twenty-five cent piece. The obverse side bears the Mexican eagle and the reverse side, in large letters, 20 indicates the value of the coin. As 10 usual wiener any new coin is placed In circulation, the ignorant people will DO doubt refuse to accept the 2C cent piece just issued, but these scruples will be short lived.

" convention here today to name dele

delegations from nearly all of the pre-
clnctS in the county were present. They
passed the following resolutions:
Resolved. That the Democratic con-
vention of Willard county, convened at
Fillmore, September 10, 1898, hereby re-
a1iirms and endorses the platform
adopted by the national Democratic
convention held at Chicago in 1898, and
especially do we emphasize that fart of
the platform which declares in favor
of free and unlimited coinage of silver
equal with gold at the ratio of 16 to
l. We affirm that the Democratic party
is the only national party that is the
friend Of silver, while the Republican
party is and has been the friend of gold
and the enemy of silver.
Resolved, That we, the Democrats Of
Millard county. i'll this convention. do
unreservedly endorse the eXceilent
work of the Hon. w. H. King as the
representative for Utah in the con-
gress of the United States"

The delegates go unpledged but most of
them favor C. S. Varian for congress.

TRUTH REGARDING HOSPITALS.
Three Generals Report Their Condi-
ton Verv Unsatisfactory.

Chickamauga National Military Park,
Sept. 10.-The Kentucky and the Second
Arkansas regiments, the only two yet to
go from Camp Thomas, will leave Monday
instead of today and tomorrow, as at first
intended.
With the departure. of these, only the
Sixth United States volunteers and the
hospitals will remain at Chickamauga.
Grigsby's rough riders, who are now at
liberty. and can go as they please. are re-
turning home by the hundreds today.
The Second Kentucky regiment engaged
in a sham battle on Snodgrass hill this
morning. The regiment formed in two
sections. one on the hill and the other in
the woods at the foot of the hill. The
battle represented minutely the famous
fight on SnodgrasS hill during the civil
war.
3 The report of Generals Sanger. Mat
tocks and Roe, giving in detail the result
of their Investigations of camp hospitals,
has been made public by General Breckin-
ridge. The three generals, who worked
some time as a hospital and camp-exam-
lining corps. report that the conditions in
the various hospitals were found very I'M
satisfactory. They state that the hospi-
tails were not provided with the proper
necessities, that they did not have a suffi-
cient number of attendants, that they
We're badly located, and that they were in
every way inadequate.
