Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women, old and young rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's s. Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch- ing, prosruding or bleeding. It is also safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- luteiy sure remedy for all itch- Ing diseases of the skin.

He shook the tuft of hair at Maison- vile and glared like mad bull.
 Two or three other members of La mothe's band were captured about the same time by some of the French mili- tiamen, and Clark when on his round cheering and directing his forces dis covered that these prisoners were being used as shields. Some young creoles gay with drink and the stimulating eff feet of fight, had bound the poor fel- lows and were firing from behind them. Of course the commander promptly put an end to this cruelty, but they consid- cred it exquisite fun while it lasted. It was in broad daylight, and they knew that the English in the fort could see what they were doing.
 Its shameful to treat prisoners in this way" said Clark. 'I will not per init 1t. Shoot the next man that offers to do such a thing"
 One of the creole youths, hand some swarthy Adonis in buckskin, tossed his shapely head with a deb- onair smile and said:
 'eTo be sure, mon colonel. But what have they been doing to us? We have amused them all winter. It's but fair that they should give us little fun now"
 | Clark shrugged his broad shoulders and passed on. He understood perfect ly what the people of vincennes had l suffered under Hamilton's brutal ad- ministration.
 At g o'clock an order was passed to cease firing, and flag of truce was seen going from Clark's headquarters 1 to the fort. It was a peremptory de- mand for unconditional surrender. Hamilton refused. and fighting was 1 fiercely resumed from behind rude breastworks meantime erected. Every 1 loophole and opening of whatever sort was the focus into which the unerring, backwoods rifles sent their deadly bull lets. Men began to fall in the fort, and every moment Hamilton expected an l assault in force on all sides of the stockade. This, if successful, would mean inevitable massacre. Clark had warned him of the terrible conse quences of holding out until the worst should come. For" said he in his note to the governor, If I am obliged to storm, you may depend upon such treatment as is justly due to g mur- derer.s
 l Historians have wondered why Ham l ilton became so excited and acted so strangely after receiving the note. The l phrase justly due to a murderer" is the key to the mystery. When he read 1 1t his heart sank and terrible fear seized him. "Justly due to murder 1 er!' An, that calm. white, beautiful ] girlish face, dead in the moonlight with the wisp of shining hair across 1t! Such treatment as is justly due to murderer!" Cold drops of sweat broke out on his forehead and a shiver went through his body.
 During the truce Clark's weary yet still enthusiastic besiegers enjoyed a good breakfast prepared for them by the loyal danes of yincennes. Little

"WhGt's the n,GtterY Hev they htt ye9n handmaidens of the occasion. She brought to Beverley's squad a basket, almost as large as herself, heaped high with roasted duck and warm wheaton bread, while another girl bore two huge jugs of coffee, fragrant and steaming hot. The men cheered them Justify and complimented them with out reserve, so that before their serv- ice was over their faces were glowing with delight.
 And yet Adrienne's heart was uneasy and full of longing to hear something of Rene de Ronville. Surely some one of her friends must know something about him. Ah, there was Oncle Jazon! Doubtless he could tell her all that she wanted to know. She fingered after the food was distributed and shyly inquired.
 'Hain't seed the scamp" said Oncle Jazon, only he used the patois most familiar to the girls ear. "Kflied an scelped long ago, I reckon"
 His mouth was so full that he spoke mumblingly and with utmost difficulty. Nor did he glance at Adrienne, whose face took on as great pallor as her brown complexion could show,
 Beverley ate but little of the food. He sat apart on piece of timber that projected from the rough breastwork and gave himself over to infinite mis- cry or spirit, which was trebled when he took Alice's locket from his bosom only to discover that the bullet which struck him had almost entirely de- stroyed the face of the miniature.
 He grfpped the dented and twisted case and gazed at it with the stare of blind man. His heart almost ceased to beat and his breath had the rustling sound we hear when a strong man dies of sudden wound. Somehow the de 1 facement of the portrait was taken by his soul as the final touch of fate, sig nifying that Alice was forever and completely obliterated from his life.
 He felt blur pass over his mind. He l tried in vain to recall the face and 1 form so dear to him; he tried to 1 imagine her voice; but the whole uni verse was vast hollow silence. For l long while he was cold, staring, rigid, l Then the inevitable collapse came, and he wept as only strong man can who l is hurt to death, yet cannot die.
 Adrienne approached him, thinking to speak to him about Rene, but he did not notice her, ana she went her way, Leaving beside hiuGMa liberal supply oi

house to house, armlng themselves and joining their neighbors Clark had sent an order earlier in the evening forbidding any street demonstration by the inhabitants, but he might as well have ordered the wind not to blow or the river to stand still. Oncle JaZon knew every man whose outlines he could see or whose voice he heard. He called each one by name:
 Here, Roger, tall inI Come, Louis. Alphonse, Victor, Octave-venez ici, here's the American army, come with meW His rapid French phrases leaped forth as if shot from pistol, and his shrill voice. familiar to every ear in Vincennes, drew the creole militiamen to him, and soon Beverleys company had doubled it's numbers, while at the same time it's enthusiasm and ability to make noise had increa sed in a far greater proportion. Tn accordance with an order from Clark they now took DO, sition near the northeast corner of the stockade and began firing, although in the darkness there was but little op- portunity for marksmanship.
 Oncle Jazon had found Citizens Le- grace and Bosseron, and through them Clark's men were supplied with am intuition. of which they stood greatly in need their powder having got wet during their long watery march. BX 9 o'clock the fort was completely surrounded, and from every direction the rihemen and ,musketeers were pouring in volley after yolley. Bev- erley with his men took the cover of a fence and some houses sixty yards

Tn proof of it we tell what those who have used it say.
 MT. Patrick Nolan, of No. 1.8 Railroad Avenue, Bridge port, Conn, says: "To, any one troubled with any form of ir- ritation of the skin, l can with confidence recommend Doan's Ointment. I was for a long time bothered with a persistent irritationon my body, and none of the many preparations and ointments I, used did me any good until I procured Doan's Ointment at a Drug Store and applied it. It was so soothing and healing, and acted so promptly that I felt relief from the first, and improved steadily. It is the best remedy for ir- ritation of the skin there is on the market. :"

STABLE DIS.NFECTtON.

Methods of Performing Scsnian-
nua; Act of Cleanliness
The disinfection of stables after a ne.
Rod of constant use should be part
of routine practice. Dairy stables in
| particular should be diSinfected twice
a year and oftener if the conditions de-
mand it. says DR.. A. ". Biting OF Pur-
due experiment station at LAFAYETTE.
Ind. It is not possible to give many
stables that thorough disinfection that
is possible in houses, because their
construction will not admit Of it. but it
is possible to do very much and at lit
tie expense.
The ideal method Of disinfection is
by means of & gas, as that would have
the power to penetrate everywhere
The effectiveness of this method de-
ponds upon securing large volume of
gas and maintaining it for some time
Unless the stable can be made tight a
gas will be Of little use. For all practi-
cal purposes the gas produced by burn
ing sulphur over a pot of Goals is the
best if used in connection with steam.
The dry sulphur fumes have little
germ killing power, but when com
bined with the steam in the air they
form compound that is deadly. The
boiling of water and Burning of sulphur
should go together. Formaldehyde gas
is not SO efficient for stable disinfec-
ton as many would have us believe
A very practical means of disinfection
that may be used under almost every
stable condition is by Whitewashing
This is not expensive for material and
is very easily applied by means of an
inexpensive fruit spray pump. The
lime should be thoroughly slaked and
strained through cloth and made Just
thin enough to work well through the
nozzle. One man can apply two coats
Of WhiteWash with a pump and reach
all parts Of side and ceiling of a room
in about one-fourth the time required
with the brush Whitewash will kill
OF hold the germs with which it comes
in contact. 1t has the effect, too, of
making the barn lighter and cleaner.
After the first spraying one application
will usually be sufficient if given regu-
larly. AS the business of supplying
milk to cities and creameries is Of
large proportions and depends upon
cleanliness this precaution of disinfec-
ton should be regularly followed

Deafness Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they canno,

There is only one way to cure deafness

Deafness is caused by an infiamed con.

famed you have rumbling sound OIL
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-.
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever

TWO HOLD.UPS CAPTURED
Those i'll Custody Blew Up the Express
Car on the Burlington Near
Butte, Mont.

Butte Mont, Feb. 16.-George Cole,
under arrest here, has made confession
of the Burlington hold-up of Wednes-
day last, and duplicates George How
ard, alias Joe Kirby. He says they
sent boy to Morrow's livery stable
on South Main street to hire a rig
about $50 D. III. Tuesday. They drove
to the scene Of the hold-up and held
up the train. Kirby had two guns,
but was too drunk to use them.
Kirby is the man who jumped upon
the engine as the train was nearing
Homestake and compelled the engineer
to stop and made the fireman get down.
But for Kirby's drunken condition.
Cole says, they would have met with
better success
