SALT RHEUM ON HANDS.

Suffered Agony and Had to Wear Band
ages All the Time-Another Cure by
Cuticura.
Another cure by Cuticura is told of
by Mrs Caroline Gable, of Waupaca,
Wis, in the following grateful letter:
'My husband suffered agony with
salt rleum on his hands, and had
to keep them bandaged all the time.
We tried everything we could get, but
nothing helped him until he used Gu
ticura. One set of Cutfcura Soap,
Ointment, and Pills cured him entirely,
and his hands have been as smooth as
possible ever since. / do hope this
letter will be the means of helping
some other sufferer"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by conStitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is intiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can

sEEDIN0 IN PROGRESS IN WEST
ERIN CANADA.

Mild Weather Ia Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.
The splendid yields of wheat oats
and barley produced by the farmers Of
Western Canada and the excellent
prices received for the same, have
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States.
AS a result the inquiries made Of the
agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad COM
panies are putting on increased car
rying capacity to meet the demand
made upon them for carrying passen-
gers and freight. Everything points to
a most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds Of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
It is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number, it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
letter written by Mr.. Geo. w. Girls
void, of Red Deer, Alta, formerly
Of Greber, Mont, written on the I'd
OF January, is as follows:
II am located one and one-half miles
from a beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two postofices.
The fine stock, both cattle (cows and
steers), horses, hogs and sheep are roll
ing fat, grazing in pastures to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had a CHI
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co
lumbia. This is a mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get q foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago In the
United States. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine,
clear, soft well and spring water at
a depth of from five to twenty-five
feet and lots Of open overlooking
springs"
Telegraphic advices from Medicine
Hat say that seeding has commenced
at Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, and oth-
er points. At the former place the
temperature moderated gradually until
on the 10th the maximum was As and
the minimum 26. Thermometer read
ings since then have been as follows:
Goth, AZ and SO; 21st, 81 and "a; 22d,
Sc and 80; 23d, 48 and 40; Oath, 48
and 20.
During the last few days in Feb
ruary considerable ploughing was done
near Lethbridge. P. A. Pulley, a re-
cent arrival from Montana, ploughed
and narrowed fifteen acres and e. Lal-
iborty about the same amount. Rev.
Coulter White has also been harrow
ing his farm. All report the ground
frost free and in excellent condition.
Bricklaying has also begun in town.
At Hartney, further east on the 25th
of February, the sun was warm and
bright, wheeled carriages were in use
and the plowed fields look as If they
are ready for the press drills. There
is every appearance that spring has
arrived, but farmers do not wish to
be deceived by appearances and cOnse-
quently have not commenced to use
their bluestone and seed wheat.

of the company to secretly deprive the complain

EXPERTS ON STAND FOR TUCKER.
They Declare His Knife Could Not Make
Wounds Like Miss Pages.

Cambridge Mass. Jan. B-ENpert testimony oc-
cupied the entire time OF the court to-day in the
Tucker murder trial. and with the exception OF
about twenty minutes surgeons were on the stand
Without exception these latter testified that a
knife thrust into a body at an angle described
by Medical Examiner Meade could not possibly
touch the azygous vein. Each OF the medical ex-
perts also stated that the knife shown them, a
duplicate OF the one owned by Tucker would not
have made wounds similar TO those found on the
body of Miss Page, the reason ascribed in every
case being that broad back would leave heavier
impression IN the flesh.
Witnesses also testified that the stains on Tuck
er's overcoat were consistent with blood found in
the bodies of certain beasts. including horses rats
and muskratS. DR.. Timothy Leery and DR.. Arthur

patrolman ask Mclaughlin why he shot the man.
Mclaughlin said he Thought Patterson had a
gun"
Counsel for Mclaughlin maintained that the
shooting Of Patterson was in self-defence The de-
fence is that Mclaughlin was set on by crowd Of
negroes that he fired first in the air, and then at
Pattersons legs. Mclaughlin, said counsel, then
ran, but the negroes attacked him again, and he
had TO shoot Patterson to save his life Counsel
