Eczema is caused by an acid humor in

Illumination little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales of sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema III any
form is a tormentiug, stubborn disease,
and the itching aud burning at times are
almost unbearable the acid burning
humor seems TO ooze out and set the skin
on FIRE. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood

sion of Judge Ewing's lecture. This
lecture was held Under the auspicies
of the Mother church, and certainly,
from every point of view, it was "a
most gratifying success. The great
and beautiful hall was filled to the ex-
tent of its seating capacity, including
the capacious stage. The stage was
reserved until few moments before
the lecture began, when the doors lead
ing to it were thrown open and it was
quickly filed.
''The number present could not have
fallen far short of three thouand, and
in point of intelligence and evident
appreciation of all that was said, tn
large audience was all that could be
desired or hoped for in any public
gathering. For almost two hours
Judge Ewing held his audience up
to a point of interest approaching the
highest intensity. In no part of thee
great chamber, during this time, was
there the slightest evidence of uneasi-
ness or lack of interest from begin
ming to end.
"Of the lecture itself it may be said,
without any suggestion of hattery,
that it was mastery in it's every as
pect. Its logic was sound, it's rhetoric
superb, its simplicity grand. One of
the lecturer strong points is his deep
sincerity, his honesty of statement
and earnestness of manner. But
stronger than all else, he had sub
! iect-a subject in which he knows
throughout the whole compass of his
being, includes message from God to
man, the understanding and needing
of which will bring harmony and hap
piness to earth. Hence the depth and
breadth of his sincerity.
"When one witnesses such an occa-
sion, gazes upon such a sea of eager,
expectant. and happy faces, hears such
words of life and health, and knows
somewhat of the deep significance of it
all, one cannot but regret that she
through whom the Father of all has
so spoken as to make these..things pos
sible, could not be present to witness
and participate. But ew know that in
her quiet. yet incessant, labor at her
home, the Rev. Mary Baker Eddy is
doing far more for the world that if
she gave her precious time over to at
tendance upon public gatherings.

baby from his wife's arms at the union

Mrs. Hittle subsequently went TO the

that he threw her out and told her that
she would never see her children

Mrs. Hittle some time ago sold a

claimed that he was about to go into

AN AWFUL DEED.
The Act OF an Unknown Fiend
Friday Night.
A Poor Woman'S House Burned Down
Marrow Escape of Her Children.
Threatening Letters.

A fend who is as yet unknown to
the authorities committed arson Friday
night, and nearly had the blood of two
small children on his head. He set
fire to dwelling house in accordance
with threats which he had previously
made, and two sleeping children were
rescued from the burning structure
! with much difficulty. Every effort
will and should be made to effect his
capture, and swift and sure punish
ment should follow.
Mrs. Kawell is a poor woman who
has small plat of land short dis
lance outside of the city limits on the
Graf road, just at the head of the
Thompson ravine. Her husband is an
inmate of the soldiers home, and she
has been maintaining herself as best
she could on her little property, as
sisted by the earnings of her children.
Three weeks ago, Mrs. Kawell re-
ceived an anonymous letter in Ger
man, threatening to burn her house.
Subsequently, second letter OF the
same import was received by her.
These letters were neither signed nor
dated, but were quite lengthy.
At two o'clock Saturday morning,
Mrs. Kawell was awakened by smoke,
and discovered that her house, a story
and half frame structure, was on fire.
She and some of her children went
out and discovered that fire had been
started at the northwest corner OF the
house, the corner nearest the ravine.
Brush and leaves had been piled
against the house and kerosene had
been thrown upon the side of the
house. The brush and leaves had then
been set on fire, and aided by the
kerosene, the flames had climbed the
side of the house and made their way
between the clapboards into the wall.
Neighbors arrived and assisted in
carving out some of the furniture, the

Representatives of Lake Crystal Vii

County Board for Bills.

There is opposition in the county
board to the allowance of the bills fol
the small pox epidemic at Lake Crys-
tai, although the state board of health
holds that the county is liable for
them under an act of the last legisla-
ture.
President D. w. Radichel of the vii
lage council, Village Recorder G. D.
OFT, and Health Officer Cullen were
down from Lake Crystal Friday
and appeared before the board in favor
of the county paying the bills.
The matter was gone over this after
noon, and the outcome was that the
bills were laid over until the next
meeting.
The whole board was appointed a
committee to inspect the new Runnells
bridge in Medo.
Commissioners Bruels. Epson and
Borchert were appointed a committee
to view the new Wingen and Harvey
culverts.
The board spent a good part of to-
day in considering bills, and expects
to adjourn before night.

placed at $50, 900, to consist of one
thousand shares at $50 each. The
shares are to be paid for at one dollar
month each until the payments and
earnings reach the face value, when the
stakeholder will receive back the face
value of his stock There will be no
paid-up stock, as heretofore.
The association will also receive
deposits the same as banks and will
pay interest on them. 1t is empowered
to purchase the interests of any other
association in the city, to loan money
on buildings, purchase real estate,
etc. No one who is not member can
borrow from it.
The association will commence bust
ness Dec. list. The incorporators are
almost identical with the directors Of
the Mankato Mutual Building and
Loan association, and the latter organ
ization will sell out to the new asso-
citation and cease its existence. The
chief object of the new association, as
with the old, will be to loan money
on new buildings, and like the old it
will be a blessing to Mankato by con-
tinuing to enable worthy people to
build homes of their own. A popula
ton where the most of the people own
their own homes is always the most
contented and prosperous and the most
possessed of loyalty to their home
town. Mankato has been fortunate in
the past in having an association that
encouraged the building of homes, but
that association has been taxed until
it could no longer compete with money
loaning institutions and individuals
that were not taxed, and it was forced
to go out of business. The new asso-
citation is organized under different
laws, but proposes to make speciality
of loaning money on buildings in
much the same manner as the old as
ISOLATION has done.
The articles of incorporation have
been carefully drawn and have been
submitted to the attorney general and
the public examiner, who have both
passed favorably upon them, and the
necessary authority to do business will
be granted. The fact that the gentle
men who have SO long and faithfully
conducted the affairs of the old associa-
tion are the incorporators of the new
will at once recommend the latter to
the confidence of all. In fact, prac-
tically the entire membership of the
old association have already agreed to
transfer their patronage to the new,
which ensures its success from the
start. In many respects the workings
of the new association will be better
and stronger than the old.

Mr.. GUTTERSON COMING.
Will Arrive This Week to Investigate
Rural Delivery Routes.

Congressman McCleafy has just re-
ceived notice from the postoffice de-
partment that in accordance with
his urgent personal request the work
of establishing rural free delivery
routes in the second district will be
resumed this week. Hon. Gilbert
Guttersen of Lake Crystal, will be the
special agent in charge
It will be remembered that at the
beginning of the year the second dis
trict had almost as many of these
routes as all the other districts in the
state combined. This was pointed out
to the department by other congress
men and the request was made that
they be given the preference this sea-
son. The justice of the claim was re-
cognized by the department and &C.
quiesced in by Mr.. McCleary. So the
bulk of the establishments this season
have been made in other districts, this
district getting only seven new
routes. But on his return from
Europe Mr.. McCleary began urging
upon the department the propriety of
it's resuming active work in the second
district. In answer to the suggestion
that the second district is still far in
the lead in the number Of rural free
delivery routes, Mr.. McCleary showed
the department that by reason of its
great area, it's vast population, and the
very uniform distribution of its popu-
lation, the second district can use far
more of these routes than any other
district in the state and is therefore
entitled to be star in the lead. !" This
logic was convincing to the depart
ment, hence the action above referred
to.
Mr.. Guttersen will, it is expected,
begin work at Mspleton next Tuesday,
putting in four routes there. 1t is ex-
pected that he will then come to Man
kato and put in five routes, two of
which will run over into Nicollet
county.

Our successful beginning can be
attributed to the fact that we have a
reputation of many years of actual ex-
perience in study and instructing man
dolin and guitar. We desire to awaken
the interest in these instruments in
Mankato, knowing that there is large
field for our work therefore we offer
course of ten lessons for S. 90 in pay
ments which should be within the
reach of all. Mandolin and guitar
clubs will be organized as soon as pos
sible.- We are headquarters for all
musical engagements and can furnish
excellent music with any number OF
pieces at reasonable price The
school is located in the Exile building

This Only Stands in the Way of the
Wittmers Match,

John J. Rooney Of Chicago has init
mated his willingness to meet the
wrestler, Wittmers, in Mankato on any
date that may be decided upon. He
has written letter to Frank Kieffe,
leaving all the arrangements with him.
Nov. Goth is the date decided upon if
the match takes place.
.EEPeople representing Wittmers offered
to put up any part of $1,000 for a
match with Rooney, and the latter has
accepted the terms and has put up a
forfeit OF 500 in Mr.. Kiette's hands.
The Wittmer people are waiting for a
check from their man to cover the
forfeit. When this arrives, the ar
rangements for pulling off the match
will be completed.
