she found that DR.. Kings New

completely cured her of a hacking
cough that for many years had
made life a burden. All other
remedies and doctors could give
her no help, but she says of this
royal cure-'it soon removed the
pain in my chest and | can now
sleep soundly, something l can
scarcely remember doing before. l

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How euro
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had sccofu!a and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparila. We decided to give
it to our bog and We no.cd an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"
WILLIAM BARTz, Ais South Williams St.,
South Bend, Indiana.
You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all
druggists. Be sure to get only Hoods.

100 men all day Thursday to get
through this drift, which opened
the road from Perryville to Oxford.
LATER.-A sleety rain COM
menced to fall shortly after noon on
Thursday and work was suspended
at Hunts cut until today or later.
The last mail received in Rising
Sun was at $3.50 Monday evening
and was carried into town from the
stalled train at Krauss'. Isaac
Riale, the overland mail carrier
from Rising Sun to Port Deposit,
started afoot on Tuesday and got
as far as Briscoe's woods, about Il
half mile from town, when he was
forced to turn back. On Wednes-
day lie tried it again and made his
way to Principle afoot and was
brought back part way in sleds by
the farmers who had begun to force
their way out.
The deepest drifts are in the
roads running east and west, and
Main street from the railroad to the
western limits and beyond was
piled from six to ten feet high, ex
cepting through the center of town
where the drifts were low enough
to be broken with bob sledS.
The telephone and telegraph
lines have not oeen distracted and
have brought messages from day to
day showing the country as far as
heard from to be tied up as tight as
this section.

9HHE present snow which has
blockaded eyerything-liter

9HHE present snow which has
> blockaded everything-liter-
ally snowbound the whole
country-is probably the great
est snow storm which has Wis
tied this section of country in
the present century. The great
snow storms within the last
sixty years will none of them
measure up in magnitude with this.
Country roads are blocked and
everywhere impossible; railooad
trains are stalled and in many
places the engines frozen up.
The record breaking snow storm
was preceded by an unprecedented
fall in the mercury which went
down to 40 below zero last Friday
morning and 120 below On Saturday.
With a foot of snow already on the
ground, the present storm com
menced on Saturday evening and
continued without abatement until
Tuesday and there would have been
probably three feet of snow on the
level had it not drifted. The heavy
wind on Monday night, however,
piled up drifts the like of which
have never been seen in this sec
ton. On Tuesday and Wednesday
the sun shone out and the mercIry
went up to 800 and everyone who
could handle a shovel common ced
to cut through the banks of snow
which filled the streets.
The 6:2l train on Monday morn
ing plowed through from Oxford to
Perryville, also the S:04. The
northbound 7:16 arrived several
hours late and brought the mail
and got as far as Lincoln where it
stuck. The $3.50 southbound stuck
at Kennett and the 1854 north
bound was stalled at Krauss'
crossing, about a mile and a half
below the Sun. The 1925 north
bound from Oxford reached Brandy.
wine Summit and on Wednesday
while trying to proceed farther
was derailed at Concord.
The train which stuck at Krauss'
crossing consisted of two engines,
one coach and a mail car, without
any passengers. On Wednesday
the force of diggers on the railroad
was increased to hundreds and by
combining forces the track was
cleared enough to run the train to
Rising Sun station, where it arrived
about 8 p. m.
A force of about so men worked
in Briscoe's cut at the station until
midnight Wednesday and got
through to Duyckinck & Co. IS
warehouse Thursday morning. The
road had meanwhile been cleared
! from Nottingham south to Hunts
cut which was level full. 1t took

by determined Opposition, and some historic
long sittngs resulted When Opposition
holds up a particular clause the answer OF
the Government is to keep the House in session
continuously until it gains its point On these
occasions the Government leaves a small guard
OF members in the House TO prevent surprises,
and let's the Opposition have free swing in the
matter OF talk. Usually when the sitting gets
on toward the long hours OF the morning the
obstructionists break down.
SUCCESSFUL OBSTRUCTION TACTICS.
But there have been some notable exceptions
TO this rule. In 1885 the Liberal Opposition held
up clause in the Franchise act from 3 o'clock
on Thursday afternoon until midnight on Satur-
