SO SOOTHING.
Its Influence Has Been Felt BY 90
Many cresco Readers.

The soothing influence of relief
After suffering from Itching Piles
From Eczema or any itchiness Of
the skin
Makes one feel grateful to the rem
edy
Doan's Ointment has soothed hund-
reds
Here's what one Cresco citizen says;
George Kunes, plasterer, OF North
Walnut st. says: .sDoan's Kidney
Ointment is the best remedy I ever
used for healing and removing rash
and eruptions of the skin or curing
cuts and scratches which one who
follows my calling is 80 liable to meet.
1t has been tested thoroughly in my
family for more than one Of its vari-
Gus uses, and has never failed to bring
satisfaction. A few winters ago I
froze one OF my feet and now every
time during severe weather It burns
and pains dreadfully, especially at
night, oftentimes 80 pronouncedly
that ! cannot sleep. A few nights
ago 1t was annoying me more aggra-
vatlngly than usual and happened
to think about Doan's Ointment, pro.
cured sometime previous, at the Shut
tleworth Drug Co.'S drug store, APP
Piled 1t and was more than astonished
how quickly the burning and aching
ceased. I was able to sleep soundly
until morning. Doan's Ointment. in
my estimation, is q great remedy.

SAY BROWN BUNCoED THEM


SAN FRANCISCO. December H.
Echoes of the famous Brown treasure
hunting expedition were heard iu the
clerks office of the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday when a cross
complaint to the libel i'm the case OF
James Brown against Louis H. Mooser,
j. *. Mofiit, II. b. Montague ana 9TH
crs was filed. Brown was the patri-
archal old salt who some time ago in
terested a number of Californians suf-
ficiently- TO have them subscribe S2O
coo or more to-ht our an expedition to
go to a mysterious island i'm the South
Pacific, the location of which was
known only to Brown, and upon which
was buried $50,0O0oOO, the ill-gotten
gains of pirates of old.
The sum of $19,999.35 was advanced,
together with the schooner Herman,
but after cruising in many seas, and
meeting with adventures and vicissi-
tudes not looked for by the promoters,
Brown refused to tell where the island
was, and the ship was sold in Tahiti.
At this port, Brown sued the promo
tiers for some $500, which he claimed
was due him as wages, and the Ameri-
can Consul there awarded him So, be-
lieving that that sum would fully
cover the services he rendered
When the forlorn treasure hunters
reached this port they caused his ar
rest, but he was soon released. lie
then instituted a suit for the money he
claimed was due him in wages. In the
cross-cOmplaint filed yesterday, the de-
PENDANTS entered general denial to all
of the allegations made by Brown, and
further sued him for money they allege
he misappropriated, and for the $1g,-
1895 out of which they intimate they
were bunkoed. They also pray that the
alleged imaginative sailor be compell-
ed to pay the costs Of the action.

STAYS SLEEPING WIFE.
Terrible Deed of Chicago Man Fol.
lows u Family Ro,y-MurdererA At
tempts to Commit Suicide.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-While she lay asleep
in bed, with baby in her arms Friday
night. Mrs. Kate Katroba. 11O1 South
Kedzte avenue, was shot and killed by
her husband, James Katroba, wood
worker. He then went to the kitchen
and shot himself in the forehead. Neigh
bors, alarmed by the shots, found Ka-
troba on the floor of the kitchen uncon-
scious. "A moment later, attracted to the
bedroom by the cries of an infant, they
found the wife dead with bullet hole
in her head, while by her side, its little
hands stained with its mothers blood,
was an 1S-months-old girl. Katroba
is 80 years old and his wife was 81. They
were married about two years ago. On
mis- return home from work Friday night
Katroba quarreled with his wife be.
cause she had spent some money for
Christmas presents. Neighbors heard
the quarrel, and a woman who lives in
the same house came in and effected 9
reconciliation. At 1920 o'clock the re-
port of revolver was heard, quickly
followed by a second shot. The Lawn.
dale police were notified, and found the
wife dead and the husband dying. He
was taken to st. Anthony hospital.

Parochial School Entertainment.

On the evening OF December goth,
the pupils Of St. Josephs Parochial
School will give a program IN the op-
era house, consisting of drills, songs
and Christmas splays. Doors will be
open from $3.50 to 8 p. m. Parents,
relatives and friends of the pupils are
earnestly requested to attend this en-
tertainment and encourage by their
presence The young actors. The diff
ferent numbers Of the program have
been carefully selected and prepared
by the sister In charge. No efforts
have been spared to fit each child for
The part he lis to take. An hour of
genuine pleasure is promised to all
who attend. Let full house greet
the youthful performers when the
curtain rises. 1t is certainly right to
encourage both teachers and pupils
by literally patronizing these occas-
lonal public entertainments when not
carried to excess. Nothing helps to
develop child's faculties more sure
ly than speaking or acting in public.
The program is one suited to the ca
pacity of those who are to take part,
and 1t is to be hoped that the patrons
of the school will give the children
the encouragement they so we'll de-
serve. A warm welcome is extended
to all fer and near.
