Eczema

Mr.. E. D. Jenkins, Of Lithonia, Ga,

severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external appli-

result. Her suferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.

 Committed by Two Men.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 4.-After about three months of inactivity Kansas City's train robbers scored another brilliant achievement tonight. This time the Kan sas City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad is the sufferer. The company's Port Arthur express special which left the company's depot here at GAO tonight, was robbed be- fore it had passed beyond the city limits. Two men, whom one but the express messenger seems to have seen, climbed into the express as the train left the depot. They overpowered the messenger, bound and gagged him, and rifled the Car before the train came to a stop When the train slowed up at a railroad crossing, known as Airline Junction, near the southeastern limits of the city, they climbed out uf the car and disappeared. Nothing ras known of the robbery until a negro ttain porter entered the car and found the helpless ex- press messenger. At this hour nothing is known as to the amount of booty secured. After the train had been stopped and oth- CTS of the crew had come forward and 1e- leased the express messenger it was found that the robbers had rihed the local safe, taking from it everything of value. They had made no effort to disturb the through safe. From Air-Line Junction a tele- graphic account of the robbery was sent to the city and the train proceeded south.
 Not Much Stolen
 Wells-Fargo officials stated that there was not much of value in the local safe and that s20O or $500 would probably cover he ,,c 1oss T,,, ever, the impression prevails that the rob bers secured several thousand dollars in money and jewelry. The report received at the express company's office here states that the robbers entered the express car as the train was pulling out of the yards, hav- ing forced the rear door with jimmy E N Hyde, of Kansas City, was the express messenger. Upon turning from his work he looked into the barrel of a six-sh peter. The messenger offered no resisiarce, al- though he was well armed, and after the robbers had bound him one of them stood guard over him while the other ri1ed the safe
 Were Young Men
 The robbers were described as smooth faced young men and the fact that both were extremely nervous while in the ex- press car is taken as evidence that they are new recruits to Kansas City's band of train robbers. At 7:10 o'clock tonight spe- cial train was sent to the scene of the rob- Der with force of officers and they are now securing the country along the river banks in search of the robbers.
 Tonight's robbery is the first that has oc- cured on this road, but is the sixth crime of the kind perpetrated in Kansas City Within fifteen months.

She eyed the attorneys intently and answered the questions promptly, except when oc- casionally she seemed bantering for time and asked the questions repeated. Attor- ney Vaughan (prosecution) does not speak very loud and at one time the witness ad- smonished him sharply to speak in audible tones.
 Her father scarcely let his eyes fall from her face while she was on the stand and at times he displayed an evident show of nervousness. At critical times, when his daughter hesitated or seemed to falter, he leanfd forward with his chin in his hands, until thesswitness proceeded.

Excessive drink is now the plea. to, which Thomas Collins clings to be allowed ball. Yesterday his attorneys switched the line of defense from the plea that his mind was unbalanced by domestic troubles to intoxication. This seems to have been At torney Trotters idea from the beginning, and yesterday his confrerees yielded the point. There was no testimony introduced to show an unbalanced mind except by liquor.
 There were numerous witnesses who said that Collins had been drunk for ten days previous to December 27, and the mayor of Bessemer testified that he was "crazy drunk" between and o'clock on the af- ternoon before the tragedy. The state claims to be able to disprove this and es tablish the fact that Collins was perfectly sober and able to attend to business.

much squabbling and switching of lines. The state intimated Monday that 1t would be able to prove that Howell was not the man who followed Nellie Collins. This seems to have been abandoned as also the inclination to investigate her character.
 An attorney for the prosecution said last night that this would not be done at the present trial.
 Hugh Frazer This Morning.
 Yesterday afternoon the defense had but one more witness to examne-Hugh Fraz- CT. I fno more be found'in the interim the state will offer it's rebuttal and in all proba- bility the trial will be concluded tonight.
 Collins and Frazer were taken to Besse- mer yesterday morning at 7:30. Frazer wore his same apparel, his shirt front be- ing embellished by another stud and white neck tie. Collins looked much more eareworn and evinced agitation during the progress of the trial. He did not glance around at the spectators as freeley and with as open countenance as during the first days of the trial. It may have been because yesterday was the crucial test-to see if the testimony of the defense would hold water
 The scenes in the court room were much the same. The regulars were there, all demonstrations were nipped In the bud and the spectators sat in stern silence, except for the nod of approval of some eccen- trique and the smiles at the cross-fres be- tween attorneys which were frequent enough to liven things up.
 The testimony of the defense was all along the line of intoxication, except that of Nellie Collins, who told of how she was pursued, insulted and assaulted.
 Fifteen Year-Old Nellie Collins.

"ThRt Tired Feeling" and As Un-

Remedy Used.
From the Telegram, Worcester, Mass.
Mr.. George A. Baribeault, of No. Green
Street, Worcester, Mass, is young man
who is Worcester born and bred. He re-
ceived his education in Worcester's schools
and is well and favorably known to large
circle of friends and acquaintance here.
His father was a local musician of some
repute, having been years ago prominently
connected with the organization then known
as the French Band -" which is now Wor-
cester's famous Battery B Band"
George is now the proprietor of store on
Green Street, where he sells cigars, tobacco,
periodicals, confectionery, etc. Formerly
he was an armOrer and worked at his trade
in the pistol factory of the Harrington and
Richardson Arms Company, on Park Ave
nue.. About two years ago while in their
employ he became run down." the exact
ing work at his machines making him very
nervous. His appetite was poor, his diges-
ton imperfect, and his blood in such a bad
condition that small wounds on his hands
would take weeks to heal. He felt that
surely something must be done, as work had
become q burden, owing to the loss of
strength and ambition. He had thorough
dislike for medicine of any kind, but through
the earnest solicitation of his wife to do
something to restore his health, and on the
recommendation OF friends ne was induced
to try DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Very soon after beginning to use them he
felt their beneficial effect, and continuing
their use, he was soon brought around to
perfect health, which he continues to enjoy.
lie is now the picture Of good health; his
digestion is resto, ID to normal conditions,
and has an appetite to match his digestion,
and the good blood bound to come through
this combination circulates through his
veins and gives healthy glow to his face
and is complete evidence of health restored.
Mr.. Baribeault procured DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People at the drug store
of Mr.. A. w. Andrews, on the corner of
Main and Wellington Streets. Mr.. Andrews
says: az have numerous calls for these pills
and receive many reports of their efficient
help in restoring vigor and health to their
users
