CutiCura Soap, Ointmentand Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, dishguring hui
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 dis1guration is to be lifelong
and mar its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence, it 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 sllaY 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
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort OF WORKOUT parents
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment. for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, scalp, hair and hands, for annoy
ing irritations and weaknesses. and
for many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.

WAS A MTTINY LEADER.
Escaped Leavenworth Convict Dis
covered in Texas Prison.

Leavenworth, Kas., May 22.-Arthur
Hewitt, one of the leaders of the mutiny
at the site Of new United States peni-
tertiary at Fort Leavenworth, on No
vember Z. 1901. is serving a term in the
state penitentiary of Texas, at Hunts
Vile for horsestealing. Hewitt has been
eoncealing his identity since his arrest
in Texas, but his fate was settled last
week when viii McClaughry. who was
attending the convention of chiefs of
police at New Orleans, went over to
Huntsville and positively identified him
as one of the ring leaders of the famous
mutiny McClaughry today made affi-
davit that the man in the Texas prison
is Hewitt and this will prOba bly, secure
Hewitt's transfer back to the federal
prison here. where he will await trial for
murder.
He turned deathly pale when Nc
Claughry told him that he had been
indicted for murder. We are going to
take you back to Fort Leavenworth and
hang you with the rest of them is all
the consolation Hewitt could get out of
the record clerk of the federal prison
here. When the guard took Hewitt
back to his cell the prisoner remarked
that the Jig was up with him.
Warden McClaughry will make an eff
fort to have Hewitt returned to Fort
I4eavenworth in time to stand trial for
murder at the June or October term of
the United States district court Hewitt

five men have informed their attorney,

be ready for trial next month. Waters

HE'S AFTER. GERMANS.
g. R. Werner Will Try to Have Them
Come to Kansas.

COm6 TO 0auSdS.
G. r. Werner of Thomas county is in
Topeka today gathering data and in
formation to aid him in colonizing Ger
man immigrants in western Kansas. He
expects to 60 to Germany in the not
distant future and try to interest Ger
man farmers in coming to western
Kansas. When the party of eminent
German agriculturists visited Kansas
City few weeks ago in their tour of
the United States, studying agricul-
tural conditions here. Mr. Werner made
their acquaintance and secured aid
from them in his colonization idea. He
viii work largely along the same line
as Oscar Bischoff, who sails from New
I ork for Germany next week on the
same sort of mission.
Mr.. Werner is enthusiastic over the
Campbell method of cultivation, which,
he says win be the salvation of west
ern Kansas. TT will do for US what
irrigation does for Colorado" he said
today Il have spent year and a
half in Colorado studying irrigation.
With the Campbell system we conserve
the moisture down in the ground while
with irrigation it has to be applied to
the surface. Nature has given US
enough moisture if we use it rightly.
We have a splendid soil. and when the
top of the ground IS worked and loosen
ed the rain sinks away down. The SUI
perintendent of Logan county dug down
six feet on his place awhile back and
Ieu0Q II moist all the way QOWH he
has wheat this year which he thinks
will yield fifty bushels per acre. If the
top of the ground is allowed TO bake
and form a crust when the rain comes
it runs right off.
4 believe we can raise sugar beets to
advantage with the Campbell system as
well or better than they can in Colorado
by irrigation. The capillary attraction in
the soil is splendid. and with the moisture
properly conserved there viii be an album
dance during the spring and summer to
grow the beets and we have the sunshine
to make the sugar Tt is this phase of the
subject that I am particularly present
ing to the German farmers who are ex-
perts in raising sugar beets
Il am trying to interest the government
in establishing numerous experiment sta
lions to show the farmers how to work the
Campbell system. The government is able
to do this and after the stations are once
established they will be self-sustaining. 1t
is hard to teach the farmers the benefits
of the Campbell method and how to work
it except by showing them, and that IS
what I want the government to do. I
know that the Campbell method viii do
wonders, because last year is gave a wheat

Of the World is set for trial here Mon
day, May 25, and both sides have an
nounced themselves ready.
Judge Law recently decided that the
supreme tent of the Nacca bees would
have to open its books for the benefit
of the Port Huron Savings bank.
The supreme tent officials began suit

cover $4,000 alleged as embezzled by
Charles D. Thompson, finance keeper OF
the order. The Macca bees have refused
heretofore to allow the bank to inspect
the books.
The order is to the effect that the
banks attorneys will have right to in
spect the financial statements made by
Thompson, and also the dealings Of the
order with the Commercial bank, which
was it's depository in this city as far
back as 1923.

cipaI witness. will be here for the trial.
