ct wish to give my testimony to
the efficiency of the Cuticura Rene
dies in what seems to me two some
what remarkable cases. had a
number of skin tumours - small
ones ON my arms which had never
given me serious trouble; but about
two years ago one came on my
throat. At FIRST it was only about as
large as q pinhead, but, az it was in
a position where my collar, if not
just right, would irritate it, it soon
became very sensitive and began to
grow rapidly. Last spring it was
as large, if not larger, than bean.
A little unusual irritation of my
collar started it to swelling, and in
a day or two it was as large rs
half an orange. was very much
alarmed, and was at a loss to de-
termine whether it was a carbunclc
or a malignant tumor.

double liability LAW.
Abrogated By Action Taken If The
Bill Becomes Law,
AIMED AT SPECULATIVE cos,

Topeka, Feb. 10.-The house abro-
gated the double liability clause of the
constitution affecting stockholders of
corporations by repeating the law en-
TO ing the constitutional provision.
The real interest of the bill, which is
fathered by the house committee on
private corporations, is to prevent
companies intended to operate in Kan
sas from being incorporated in other
states and to force them to take out
their charters here.
1t is argued that such law will
force nearly 1900 corporations, now
doing business in Kansas to incorpor-
ate here, and will bring 100000 in
fees into the State Treasury the first
year without increasing the charter
fees. The bill is especially aimed at
the gas, oil and mining companies now
being organized by the score in south
eastern Kansas, but being incorporated
in other states. The way corpora

in another state and then doing bust
ness here solely is by providing that
all foreign cororationsp must be ac-
lively engaged in the business for
which they are organized in the state
in which they are Incorporated before
they shall be admitted to this state.
The important change in the present
law is one that corporations need not
file their irrevocable consent to be sued
in Kansas, but that they may be sued
here only during the time they are
engaged in business in the state and
for three years after they leave. Cor
porations have objected strenuously to
the provision in the Bush law making
them file their irrevocable consent to
be sued here as they claimed it was an
injustice, especially if they expected to
do business in Kansas only a COM
paratively short time, as is often the
case.

Found Lost Papers.

Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 23.-The minutes
of the Nebraska constitutional con-

successful search has been made for
the missing minutes, in order to settle

timely as, source of information for
