The total direct income TO France from

including all wages and the value or an

BLOW UP GARBAGE CANS
People With Cannon Crackers Destroy
Property.


Chief of Police Goodwin issued in
structions to the entire police force
last night to arrest any persons caught
firing ball cartridges, and to throw
them in jail without any further talk.
The same will apply to any person de-
Hberately injuring or attempting to in
jure anyone by throwing cannon
crackers or other explosives under
their feet.
On former Fourths, some damage
was done by bullets. Not satisfied
with blanks many "celebraters'' fired
ball cartridges, breaking windows.
electric lights and signs, and many
persons narrowly escaped death from
random shots. Today any policeman,
examine the ammunition used and
search the shooter. Even loaded cart
ridges in the pocket will be considered
an offense.
l. Several of the new garbage cans
were wrecked last night, being blown
out of shape by cannon crackers which
were dropped inside. The police tried
to keep down the shooting before II
o'clock. and Officer Hendricks arrested
two young men who were firing re-
volvers. They were technically guilty
of the offense of "discharging firearms
in the city limits" but will probably
escape with a lecture. Chief Goodwin
ran himself into a state of collapse
trying to suppress premature celebra-
ton, and the entire day force returned
until midnight. Very few explosions
were heard until after dark, shorten
ing the usual celebration period by
about two DAYS.

st. Petersburg, July with the
completion of the arrangements for
the Washington peace conference,
President Roosevelt has resumed his
efforts to bring about an armistice. No
light is thrown on the actual status of
the negotiations and the character of
the communications passing between
the Russian and Japanese govern
ments and Washington is not known.
The matter Is exceedingly delicate
but the outlook for success neverthe-
less from all information obtained is
not unpromising if Japan is ready to
sheath the sword until the Washington
meeting develops whether a basis for
peace is possible. Russia'S consent
seems assured.
In diplomatic circles it is felt that
Great Britain could render service by
timely advice to her ally, but so far
as known she is not supporting Presl-
dent Roosevelt's effort. If the presl-

REMARKABLE CURES
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

al suffered with eczema on my hands
for two years, but was at last cured
with the Cuticura Remedies. The dis
ease commenced by small, waterv
pirnpleS breaking out on the back of
my hands, which itched, burned, and
panied awful, as if an electric battery
was being held against my body. Nv
hands would swell until could hardly
use them. Then they would get drv
and scaly, then break out again and be
the same thing over. I was treated by
our family physician, but did not get
any better. Then / tried every kind
of ointment I ever heard of, and every
home remedy any one recommended.
81 then went to another doctor, who
helped them some, but after being
treated by him for three months nv
hands were not well and the treatment
was so severe it was almost worse than
the disease. l had often seen Cuticura
advertised and concluded to try it. 1t
just took two applications of Cuticura
Ointment to take the soreness out of
my hands. l commenced by putting
it on three times a day, then Just in
the evening, and when had used four
boxes of Cuticura Ointment, one cake
Cuticura Soap, and three walls of Cuti-
cura Resolvent Pills, my hands were
well, and much softer and smoother
than ever before. Thanks to the Cuti-
cra Remedies. Yours respectfully
