The Hon. Mr. Justice HQDGmQr6S Letter.

81 desire to give my voluntary testimony to the beneficial effects of
your Cudcura Remedies. I have suffered for some time from an excess
of uric acid in the blood; and since the middle of last year, from a severe
attack Of Eczema, chiefly on the scalp, face, ears and neck, and on one
limb. was for several months under professional treatment, but the
remedies prescribed were of no avail, and was gradually becoming worse,
my face was d1eadfully disfgured, and l lost nearly all my hair. Atlast,
my wife prevailed upon me to try the Cutcura Remedies, and I gave them
athorough trial with the most satisfactory results. The disease soon began
to disappear, and my hair commenced to grow again. A fresh growth of
hair is covering my head, and my limb (athough not yet quite cured) is
gradually improving. My wife thinks so highly Of your remedies that she
has been purchasing them in order to make presents to other persons

Pool selling ON state Fair Grounds.

E5E5s@ - ~ SS0AAAA& O4 b = lax NfTUOuQVo ST9S
A lively discussion is III progress
over ohe attempt to secure the. repeal
sof:the anti-pool-selling law Of Mime
sotaThe bill, which:is said to be
backed by Chicago sporting men, also
compels the Minnesota state fair board
to lease the fair grounds to a recently
organized association which proposes
to conduct running meetings during q
large part of each summer and sell.
pools on these and other races. !
Two important questions are in.
volved--or, more accurately speaking,
three questions. First, do the people
OF Minnesota want to repeal the anti
~pool-selling law? Second, if they do,
do they want to license pool-selling on
grounds belonging to the sta tie of Min
nesota? Third, what will be the effect
upon Minnesota's great state fair?
Regarding the last of these ques-
tons the officials Of the state fair, and
others conversant with the facts, speak
with no uncertain sound. They say
that the state fair has prospered as
never before since pool-selling was
abolished; that it has received the sup
port of. a large class who would not
co%untenance pool-selling; that there
would be an, enormous loss in gate re-
ceipts if pool-selling were re-intro-
duced; that the lease of the grounds
during a large part of each summer
would. drive out the harness: horses
nov trained each season on the
grounds and virtually destroy this.
source of revenue to the fair; and, per-
haps most important of all, the use of
the grounds by an outside organiza-
ton: during the greater part of the
summer would very seriously interfere
with the preparations for the annual
fairs. The city papers are a unit in
opposing the bill, as one contrary to
the best interests of the state.

Ex-Speaker d. B. Henderson will
be in Washington during the coming
session of congress as attorney for
several great corporations in New
York. Since retiring from congress
Colonel Henderson has become iden-
titled with prominent law firm in
New York, and while congress is in
session he will represent the firm in
Washington, where he has powerful
influence. Much comment is caused
by his return. though many other men
high in political life have appeared
in Washington as corporation attor-

Last year we secured the exclusive
right for an exceptionally low club
bing rate for the Chicago Daily

been trying hard to get the same rate,
and have been successful in getting
the following proposition. which will
be good only during the months of
November and December. This rate
enables us to make the following offer.
which cannot be excelled anywhere for
good home and general reading:

You will not have better oppor-
unnity to secure two such papers for

Tribune is considered Americas
greatest newspaper, given the highest

The Public Opinion is accorded first
place among the papers of Winnesheik
county in circulation, in the quality
and quantity of its news service, and
in giving the news before it is seen in
any other paper. 1t is growing steadi-
ly. Here is splendid opportunity TO

THESE will supply any family with
all the local and geleral news of the

editors are the first to hear gossip or

men, and in fact all the neighhorhood

the naughty doings in the community.

they heard were published there would
be divorce. social ostracism and other
woes. There would lie shot guns and
gore, Imprisonment, lynching, DESC
late homes, shame, humi iliation and

of the hypocrisy of life and it is a
wonder he believes anything on earth
or in the hereafter. People who abuse
him often owe their standing in society
to his forbearance. -Ex.
