Eczema!
The Only Gu

Eczema is more than a skin disease,
and no skin remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging
to the most powerful constitution. The
whole trouble is in the blood, and
Swift's Specific is the only remedy
which can reach such deep-seated blood
diseases.

TIE REGULAR ARMY.
Removed Talk OF Reorganization by
the Congrsss That VIII Con-
vsne Next Week.

Washington, Nov. sO.-There 10 re-
newed talk Of the reorganization OF
the regular army by the present SEES
sion Of congress. The general impress.
sion seems to be that the regular army
should consist Of 100, 900 men, and that
number will no doubt be recommended
In the draft of the bill being prepared
by the war department. However, there
has been advanced suggestion which
meets with some favor in military cir
cles, which IL to make a regu-
lar standing army of $4,000 men,
and to have a provisional army
of $4,000, the latter made up
largely OF natives of the islands
where the United States must do gar
1ison duty. These troops could be off,
cered from the United States army
and provision made to give them in
creased rank and pay while on duty.
1t has been suggested that lieutenants
could become captains, and captains
majors, and so on to the highest off,
Ger Of regiment. 1t is proposed that
the cost of maintaining this provisional
army should come out of the revenues
Of the islands garrisoned. 1t 10 not
intended that the whole garrison should
Re made up of such organizations of ma
ttves, but that sufficient number of
United States regulars should be at
each important place to maintain or
der In any emergency,

CANNOT RECOVER DAMAGES.
a Nonunion Printers' Suit in Des
Moines Against the Typograph-
teal Union L. Defeated.

Judge Holmes, of the district court,
handed down an opinion in the case Of
George Shelley Hughes against the Des
Moines Typographical union. It favors
the union, holding that Hughes cannot
recover damages from the union be-
cause Of its keeping him out Of work
by it's members refusal to work In the
same Office with him because he is nom
union man. The court holds that he
cannot recover because no overt act
was committed.
Hughes is an old compositor and has
at various times been employed In
printing offices in Des Moines. On ssv-
eral occasions he has been discharged
by his employers because of the refusal
Of union printers to continue work In
the same office. Hughes finally brought
suit against the Typographical union
for $4,000, claiming that he had no other
means Of earning livelihood, and that
the union was preventing him from
holding position by threats aud I'M
lawful acts

GUARDS AGAINST TROUBLE.
Unruly the President VIII BE Pre-
pared to Stop Any Outbreak.

Washington, Nov. so.-The ap-
prehension which manifested itself
some time ago over the attitude
Of Aguinaldo and the Philippine insur-
gents has not entirely disappeared,
though the administration believes they
will accept the situation without con-
htct with the United States. The mat
ter was discussed at the cabinet meet
ing and some of the views expressed In
dicated a possibility that the insurgents
may yet have to be dealt with. On the
whole, however, the president expects
that serious trouble with Aguinaldo
will be avoided, but at the same time
has guarded against an outbreak by
taking precautionary measures.
The American force already In occu.
panoy of part Of the Philippines is re.
garded as altogether adequate to cope
with any emergency that may arise.

IN A TURMOIL.
The City of Montrose IL With out on.
oials and the Town Il Divided
Into Factions.

The town OF Montrose, in Lee county.
Is now without a city council, as all the
aldermen have resigned, being pet-
toned to do so by more than four-ffths
OF the voters. One councilman per-
sisted in remaining in office several
days after his colleagues resigned, but
public sentiment grew too strong for
him, and now he has stepped down and
out CT Office. As the mayor is not en-
powered, under the new code, to call
q special election, the town will be
without any counoilmen until the next
regular election next spring.
Montrose is town Of 500 inhabitants,
across the Mississippi river from the
historic town Of Nauvoo. At council
meeting held on the night Of August g
the marshal shot the ex-marshal
through the hip, fired at him three
times but hit him only once; the mayor
was thrown to the floor and cut in the
head with knife, and free-for-all
fight ensued as the result OF trying to
elect new street foreman In the place
of r. Armentrout. The mayor, 8. 81.

rested on an information fled by the
wounded ex-marshal, William Spain,
but the cases were afterwards dropped.

men was voted out OF the council by his
colleagues at special and secret sos
sion, on the grounds that he was no
longer resident of the town. Tho
mayor called special election to Sc
cure new councilman, but the ousted
member brought the matter to the SUI
perior court in Keokuk and secured .
writ of injunction stopping the election.
Since that time several suits have been
fled in the courts in Keokuk claiming
libel, defamation and the like.
Since the new administration has
been in power, several months now,
there have been numerous rows and
disturbances, but not q single arrest
has been made. The whole town IL d.
vided into two factions and further de-
velopments are momentarily expected.
