Scratched
CONSTANTLY
Baby Badly Afflicted with Eczema.
Hands, Face, and Clothes
Covered with Blood.
Face Covered with Large Sores.
Medical Treatment Useless.
Cured by Cuticura.
SKIN NOW SMOOTH AND ROSY.

My niece's little baby boy, two years old,
was SO badly afflicted with Eczema that he
needed constant watching. 1t was all over
his face, and he scratched the sores con-
stantly. Mornings, his clothes would be
stained with blood, and his face and hands
would be covered. His family never could
take him out, as his face was always full OF
large sores. They had medical treatment, and
tried everything they heard of. She com
menced using the CUTICURA REMEDIES last
spring and found that at last she had won
derful healer. The sores left his face and he
was entirely cured, and now his face is as
smooth and rosy as though no sore had ever
been there to mar it. Mrs. L. J. ROOT,

Wellington, April 25.-The animated
picture exhibition given at the audi
torium under the auspices of the city
schools for the benefit of the library
fund was a success financially. 1t is
said there never was as large a crowd
in the auditorium as the one which
packed it to the doors. The receipts
were very satisfactory and the library

through this effort.

OREGON METEORIC SHOWER
Two I.urid Clouds With a Myriad OF
Shooting Stars Travelling Back
and Forth.

Portland, April 25.-The citizens Of
Huntington, on the Oregon railway ana
Navigation company line, near the
Idaho boundary, were startled last
night by the appearance of meteor1c
shower the like of which none of them
had ever witnessed. Two parallel clouds
strangely Illuminated with lurld
glow stretched across the zenith, ana
between them played a fire of shooting
stars that continued for over TOUR
hours. The long. narrow clouds looked
to the excited inhabitants of Hunting
ton like great battleships, and the ef-
feet produced was sensational in the
extreme. No one who witnessed the
phenomenon went to bed at all, and to-
day it is the chief topic of conversation
in the village and surroundings.

OPPOSED TO EXPANSION.

Senator Francis M. Cockrell has ar
rived in Washington after a long cam
paign in Missouri, the result of which
assures his election to the Senate for a
fifth term.
81 do not look for any new and
sweeping legislation at the coming ses-
sion," said the Senator. "The appro.
priation bills will be passed, and, as the
river and harbor bill is due, it being
enacted every two years. a strong effort
will be made to secure one this winter.
1t is not probable that any financial
legislation will be attempted, and do
not look for new army legislation be-
yond what may seem necessary to meet
the emergencies of the present situa-
ton. There may be legislation in re
gard to Hawaii.
SIT is impossible to say what the
Senate will do with the peace treaty,
as it is not known ye5 what the coz
ference at Paris will agree upon final
ly. Personally, am opposed to TAX
ing the Philippines. The policy of ex-
pansion which we hear SO much about
is not defined very clearly by its advo-
Gates, but it seems to me that the an
nexation of the islands, thousands of
miles from our coast, will involve very
grave questions and is of doubtful wis
dom. In my judgment, it is entirely
unnecessary"

The Plague Gains a Foothold.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26-E1tra-
ordinary efforts are being made TO sup
press Information regarding the ap-
pearsnce of disease supposed to lie
ouboDic plague in Chinatown. Tbs
health authorities refuse to discuss the
matter and the local papers have en-
tered into an agreement to suppress
the facts, for the present at least.
Policemen were last night stationed at
every street leading to Chinatown and
all persons were warned that they en-
tered that district at their peril. There
have been a number of mysterious
deaths in the Chinese section. Orien-
tails have dropped off suddenly, il most
cases having been sick only a few hours
The health department made an inves-
tigation with the result that there are
several suspicious cases under qnaran-
tine. Some of the city physicians
think it is the bubonic plague and
others think it is Asia,ic cholera. i
the worst fears of the health official;
are realized and the mysterious deaths
are found to be due to either plague oil
cholera it will be extremely difficult te
prevent an epidemic. The district il
right in the heart OF the city.
