Lives of Suffering and

And Happiness and Prosperity Assured by
Cuticura Soap, 0intmentandPil
 When AII Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with m inherited or early developed ten.
 iency to distressing, disnguring hu. mours of the skin, scalp and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suffer. ing. but because of the dreadful fear that the disfguration is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and pros- perity. Hence, 1t becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to ac- quaint themselves with the best, the ,purest and most effective treatment available, viz., The Cuticura Treatment, | Warm baths with Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the skin and scalp of crusts and scales, gentle applications of Cuticura Ointment, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal. and mild doses of Cuticura Resolvent, to cool the blood in the severer cases, are all that can be desired for the speedy lyelief and permanent cure of skin tor. leured infants and children, and the com- fort of worn-out parents. Millions of women use Cuticura Soap. assisted by Cuticura Ointment. for pre-. serving, purifying and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair and hands, for annoy. ing irritations and weaknesses, and for ,saany sanative, antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves.

DANGER LINE AT ST. LOUIS.
Property Destroyed and Loss of Life
 May Follow.

St. Louis, June 2.-Thirty feet-tf1e
 danger point-was reached today and passed by the flood that is coming down the Mississippi River. The river continues
 to rise rapidly and a point considerably higher than 34 feet which Weather Fore caster Bowie had predicted would be reached by Thursday or Friday. will be an accomplished fact. The crest of the Hood from tho Kansas and Missouri Rivers is yet to come and when 1t shail reach here and find augmentation from the high water in the Mississippi some loss of life is feared and destruction to property must ensue.
 The first loss of life attending the pre- sent flood in this vicinity was reported today in the drowning of Mrs. William Schmidt and her two children in an at- tempt to escape on flat boat from Cat fish Island, in the Missouri River, seven miles southwest of St. Charles.
 In some places between here and Alton the river is five to seven miles wide, covering thousands of acres of tarm land in the great American bottoms on the east side. destroying crops and driving out the farmers. The greatest damage yet re- ported is at Missouri point, at the con fluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, where several hundred farmers and their families have been driven from their fertile lands by the high water. Still greater damage in this section is | 'eared during the coming rise.

ACTION OF REDWINE
TRANSFERS WHITE AND JETT
 CASES TO MORGAN COUNTY.
West Liberty, the Capital, is g Miles from Railroad and in the Noun tains-Prosecution Is
 Surprised.

Jackson, Ky. June 2.-The' prosecution in the cases of Curtis Jett and Tom White. charged with the murder of 1. B. Marcum will ask Judge Redwine to- morrow to rescind his order granted to- day transferring the cases to the Morgan Circuit Court.
 The prosecution was taken by surprise today when Judge Redwine. in response to motion made by the commonwealth's attorney for a change of venue. trans ferred the case to Morgan County in Judge Stephen Girard Kenner's judicial district. The attorneys for the prosecution antici- pated that Judge Redwine would send the case to. a county not in the mountains.
 It is believed that the fear of assassi- nation would prevent witnesses going to West liberty. the county seat of Mor- gan County. which is nine miles from a railroad.
 If Judge Redwine rescinds his order the prosecution will try again to get an elisor and try the case here.
 The affidavit which has been drafted to support the motion to be made tomorrow sets forth the following reasons why the case should not go to Morgan County:
 First-The order for a change of venue shall be accompanied by an order direct ing the sheriff or jaiier. to deliver the prisoners to the jailer of the County to which the case is transferred. The Nor gan County jail is insecure.
 Second-That the affiants are informed that friends of the defendants expressed willingness to have the case tried by a jury from Morgan County if the ease was tried in Breathitt
 Third-Mrs. J. B. Marcum. an import ant witness for the prosecution is in a delicate condition and unable to make the trip from Camel City to West Liberty nine miles over rough mountain roads.
 Fourth-The accommodations for law yers and witnesses are insufficient and hard to obtain at West Liberty, and im- portant witnesses would be in great dam ger of death or bodily harm from as- sassins while going to and returning from the county seat of Morgan County
 Fifth-That Sheriff Ed Callahan is close friend of the defendant and that Jailer William Spencer is an uncle of Curtis Jett and for this reason Is said prisoners are conveyed from this county to some other county by either sheriff or ailer, the vigilance exercised by said of- hcers would be of such nature as to give rise to fear and distrust on the part of all of the law-abiding and non- interested citizens,

PHILADELPHIA STRIKE.
Ranks of the Idle Are Greatly
 Augmented.

Philadelphia, June 2.-The strike of the textile workers of Philadelphia for a 55-hour week today spread to hosiery mills, tieing up the textile industry tighter than 1t has been since the great suspension was inaugurated.
 Fully 5000 persons joined the already large army of idle workers. Most of them were women and children employed in the hosiery mills on the Kensington district. This class of workers are unorganized but they decided to join the ranks of the unionists in other branches of the textile trade when they saw the magnitude of the movement for a shorter w-e':. 1t is probable that most of the women and children will be organized into a union and efforts will be made to bring out the work CTS in other hosiery plants.

Tha oldast Iaw snit

A lawsuit which may probably be claim ed as the oldest in the world is reported from the Trientina. The two communes of Cali and Foza have been for four cen turies in litigation for the possession of an extensive tract of woodland, which has assumed the character of a virgin forest with trees of colossal size, which no man dares to touch. Spots are still pointed out where 200 years ago the two communes fought pitched battles for the disputed wood. Apparently the homeric struggle is as far from closing as ever.

OUTLOOK FOR COTTON.
Unfavorable Weather Causes Loss of
 Large Area of Early Planting.

UntaVoraple weather causes Loss oi Large Area of Early Planting. New Orleans Times Democrat. The Times-D Democrat presents the first Of of reports on the cotton crop of 1903 The conclusions of this journals corre- spondepts may be summarized as fol- lows:
 1. The increase in acreage has been trifiing-probably. about 9 per cent. A considerably larger area was originally planted. but much of this was lost through the unfavorable spring and the inferior chararter of seed.
 ?. Although the weather has been more favorable during the last three weeks, the crop is still very late, and the stands leave much to be desired.
 3. The supply of labor is fairly sum cient on the whole. but many sections would have difficulty in picking a full yield.
 4. No important damage by insects is reported as yet, but Texas looks forward to the boil weeyirs activity with appre. hension.
 5. The outlook is in the main decidedly below the average, and the plant is so backward that an early frost would irn- ply a far-reaching disaster.
