BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Serofula Sores.
cat 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 ell over one
side OF his face. We consulted a physi-
clan 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. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores we're well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofuIous 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. 8. s. WRoTEN, Farming

ABOUT SMITH.
What the Plasterers Say in Criticism Of
Him.

h the Plasterers Say in Criticism of
The plasterers' committee, composed
of James McGarry, p. NJ. Barso,
Thomas Sheehan, John c. Murphy,
James Judge and NJ. T. Mcguire,
yesterday gave out the following:
ITO the Public: To explain certain
noticed Mr.. Smiths statement in the
Standard Of Sunday morning regarding
the trouble on the Hennessy building
n Hale house, we desire to state that
It was brought on by himself. 1t ap-
pears as though he was intent on hav-
ing trouble. On Tuesday. Sept. 2, the
boss plasterers locked all their men out.
wishing to reduce wages 81 per day.
In the meantime they imported plas-
terers from Minneapolis. in the face OF
the fact that there were plenty of men
in Butte entirely competent to do any
kind of plastering.
THE truth is. men were working, to a
disadvantage on the Hennessy building.
Mr.. Smith having more than could be
handled properly. As to the Hale
house, there is very little work to be
don on 1t. and three men could do it
in one day. Mr.. Leck is also purported
to have made the statement that the
work was not done to his satisfaction.
and that there were no enough COM
petent plasterers in Butte TO do the
work properly. Regarding this inferior
work talk, we would mention that when
finishing the dining room of the Hale
house, Mr.. Smith told the men to do a
good job in that particular instance.
as that was to decide whether the
building would be done with a sand
finish or a white coat. After tina was
done. and IL was decided upon having
the building sand finished. Mr.. Smith
pushed them right ahead, and gave the
men inferior material TO use. not even
allowing a good job to be done.
speaking of work done on the Hen
messy building. IL is a disgrace to the
plastering trade in general: when the
tourneymen plasterers working on the
job would ask Mr.. Smith II he wanted
good work done. using his own words.
he would say. Get over It: IL is good
enough; people won't see IL riding
through Butte IN a train Some parts
of the work have two coats and a finish,
while other parts have only one coat
and a finish. and still other parts have
no finish at all, only the bare stucco
hoated.
I'm regard to the plasterers who are
non-residents. we have no objections TO
them whatsoever as long as they come
into the city of Butte with clear cards
from local unions in good standing. un-

NEW FIRE STATION.
Plans Completed for the Building mt Air
IONA and Mercury streets.

A Joint meeting OF the fire and water
and building committees was held last
evening at the office of Architect White
at which plans were completed for the
new fire station to be erected at the
orn of Arizona and Mercury streets.
Fire Chief Flannery. Mayor Harring-
ton n Aldermen Rowan, Melcher.
Knowlton and Ljubibratich were pres
ent, together with the architects. Some
changes were made i'm the plans as al
ready draw up. and II was directed 10
advertise Wednesday night for bids for
the construction of the building and
ave II completed this fall.
II was desired 10 have the building
40 feet wild or the inside instead of
36iA. as formerly decided on. IL will be
extended back so feet. The doors will
stan back 10 feet from the street.
There will be n large door also on the
Mercury street side. by which the hook
and ladder can be driven in ard turned
into position facing the Arizona street
street doors. This will obviate backing
into the fire station, which Is done at
present, and which often obstructs the
street.
The main or apparatus floor will have
fou stalls and the apparatus. including
a hook and ladder truck and n
on the ground floor. but II will be
constructed with steel girders. which
will be ordered from Minneapolis at
once. There will be catch basins con-
nected with the stalls. which will he n
great improvement from a sanitary
point OF view. The floor will be con-
structed Of three by five Oregon pine
and will have a slope Of three inches
from the stalls TO the front doors. IL
will he laid like the deck Of a vessel
and so thoroughly hat IL will be water
proof. There will be a hose in
the rear.
The second floor will contain the
sleeping quarters. the ventilation of
which has been arranged with great
care. There will be large closets for
the fremen's clothing. bath room etc.
In the rear will be n large hall. which
will probably be used as a gymnasium
and for meetings, dances, etc. a wind
ing iron stairway reaches the second
floor. ascending between the front
doors. There is n small grain foor be-
tween the two stories. The upper story
will be finished in pine. The building
will he heated with hot water. There
was much discussion Of having an alley
In the rear so that the apparatus could
be hauled in from the rear, but this has
not been decided on.
The board ~ library trustees met at
the library last evening and audited
bills for September. amounting 20
sSs7.20. APPLICATION was received from
the members Of the Household Econ
omy club asking for the use Of the art
room on alternate Wednesdays for
MEETINGS. The request was granted.
Those present were Melcher. Macarthur

A WOMAN'S ARM
Apparently It Had Been Cut Of
Very Recently.
IT CAUSES SPECULATION
It May Have Been Amputated at a Hos
pitai and Thrown Out With the
Refuse. n in That Way
Reached the City Dump.

George Peoples, superintendent OF the
city dump. discovered yesterday on the
dump a portion OF a woman's arm. 1t
had been cut OF just below the elbow,
the hand. wrist and forearm being well
preserved. and, in fact. almost intact.
The only mark OF decomposition was
the purplish appearance of the flesh.
The discovery of the arm naturally led
10 much speculation and the police and
health departments OF the city became
very active in the effort to ferret out
the mystery of the arm. The police
thought they might be on the track OF
some fresh murder mystery. while the
health authorities naturally did not like
to have IL thought that IL is customary
for human remains to be scooped up
In the streets and alleys of Butte.
Dump superintendent Peoples didn't
seem to regard his find as OF any start
ling Importance. He took a fruit
basket, laid the arm in IL. dug a hole
and buried IL. Then he told the author
titles about the find n the chastity
remnant was exhumed once more for
further examination. The arm seemed
to have been cut OF. There were no
marks of burning.
From all appearances the arm had
been freshly deposited on the dump. In
fact 1t was with some refuse which was
deposited on the dump Sunday night.
1t was ascertained on investigation thai
most of the loads taken out to the dump
Sunday night came from Chinatown.
Some old shacks have been taken away
there and cellars dug preparatory to
the erection OF new buildings. 1t was
thought probable that the load which
contained the arm came from this place,
but IL might have come from some
where else Had a skeleton or some hui
man bones been found under the old
shacks In Chinatown IL would not be
considered so strange as that an arm
should be found there. The police in
clined to the conjecture that the arm
had been amputated at some hospital
and thrown out with refuse through
some carelessness. 1t is
known. however, that at all the hospi-
tails very great care is exercised that
nothing of the kind should take place.
and any amputations are properly bur-
led. Others thought that some young
physicians might have been cutting up
a dead body for practice and the arm
have in some way reached a refuse pile.
A careful examination of the excava-
tions in Chinatown failed to reveal any
more remains. The workmenh nave been
cautioned to watch carefully for any
thing which may throw light on the
mystery of the woman's arm.
