ROOSEVELT AT WORK.
He is Exerting Himself to Bring
About an ArmiStice.
CBy the Associated Press.


St ePtersburg, July 4.-President
Roosevelt has resumed his efforts to
bring about an armistice. No light
is thrown on the exact status of the
negotiations and the character of the
communications passing between the
Russian and the Japanese govern
ments and Washington. The matter
is an exceedingly delicate one but
the outlook for success from all In
formation obtainable is not unpromis-
ing If Japan is ready to sheath the
sword until the Washington meeting
develops whether a basis for peace Is
possible. Russia's consent seems as
sured. In diplomatic circles it is felt
that Great Britain could render SER
vice by timely advice to her ally, but
so far as known she is not supporting
President Roosevelt's efforts.

MCKENZIE ITEMS.

We feel that our little berg Is grow
ing in Importance when the night ex-
press designs to stop for our convent
ence. Al party Of ten started for Port
land yesterday, and the great fair.
Among them were Mr.. and Mrs. John
Rodgers and friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Jerry Sweeney, Mrs. Hood, Mrs. Nc
Williams, and Mrs. A. M. Thompson.
In imagination, 1 could see these
prairie women reveMng in the educa-
tional advantages of the fair, serenely
conscious that their dainty travelling
costumes, many of them homemade,
are as comfortable and appropriate as
any there, with nothing distinctive to
set them apart from the other well
dressed, well bred women present. In
what other country of the world would
it be possible? After all is said, the
greatest exhibit there will be the PEG
pie. :$ 5&
Considerable building is being done
in this neighborhood, the most notable
thing being a leantto on the black
smith shop used by Mr.. Fleming and
owned by Fred Korn. This gentleman
is presumably unconscious of this
barnacle like attachment to his prop
erty and the illegal business carried
on there or he would have it re-
moved. Being in the alley, on public
property, it will be. a public duty to
demolish it if not otherwise attended
to.

A grateful mother, in the following

my baby was four months old her
akin broke out with a humor. I took
her to a doctor, who said It was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and BODY
were SO covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had q
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even her finger nails fell
off. Then it itched SO she could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first
bathing her in warm water with the
Soap, and then spreading on the Oint-
ment with soft cloths. I saw q change
In 2 week. The sores began to heal,
and she could sleep at night, and in
one month che had not one sore on
her face or body. Any mother hay-.
Ing children with eczema or i1umors
