Rockefeller's Secret of Success.

When the richest man in the world
submitted to his first newspaper in
terview a few days ago he declared
that the secret of his successful start
in the world lay in the fact that as
shipping clerk, when boy of 16,
he was more honest and more ac-
curate than was the custom among
others in the same employment that
his methods soon attracted the atten-
ton of his own and other employers,
inspiring confidence in his integrity
and ability and that thenceforward
his progress was assured And every
man that is in business for himself
and employing others will readily be-
lieve that Mr. Rockefeller told the
truth.
When a young man has won the
confidence of a number of business
men his battle in life is more than
half won Almost every employer
is occasionally seeking man in
whom he can repose confidence, to
whom he can commit charge of GER
tain details of his business with the
comforting knowledge that the work
will be looked after with conscience
and ability. Having constantly in
mind his future necessities. he watches
with care every young man that
comes within view, not from any
philanthropic purpose, but for purely
selfish reasons. When a young mar
can demonstrate to a few such that
he is both honest and capable, he
need never look long for lucrative

AUDITOR sHERRIcK oUsTED.
Governor Hanly Finds Him a De-
faulter and Removes Him
From Office.

Alleging that David E. Sherrick,
Auditor of State, has beea guilty of
"a plain and inexcusable violation Of
the law, and gross betrayal of pub
lie trust IN that he invested funds
belonging to the State in private af-
fairs, to the extent of about Si43,0OO,
Governor Hanly Thursday issued an
executive order, in which he took
'cognizance of vacancy in the Office,
and appointed Warren Bigler, of Wa
bash as his successor. This, in effect,
amounts to removal of Mr. Sherrick
by the Governor, though the official
statement is not made that way The
amount involved is S145,0O0
The Governor gave Sherrick until
noon Thursday to make settlement.
This was not done at noon, and the
Governor, after having asked for
Sherrick's resignation three times, af-
fected the removal. Sherrick has not
been arrested as yet, and in his state
ment Governor Hanly did not say
that such action was contemplated.
Mr. Sherrick could not be seen at
noon Thursday.
In the formal statement issued by
the Governor relative to the matter
the Governor says that he has inves-
gated the conditions in the Auditor
Office since the last of August, having
received information that Sherrick
had not made the July sediment for
the States funds that had accumulat-
ed from January 1 to July 1, 1905
He Immediately asked for settle
ment which was made.
This amount was about S235, 1000
In addition to this amount, the Au-
ditor, in his statement to the Cover
nor, admitted that he was at that time
chargeable with State funds paid il
since the July settlement, amounting
Ito S145,197sO, for which he filed Z
schedule enumerating the assets ht
had to meet this amount which ht
owed to the State These items in
cluded notes, stocks and securitie:
amounting to 1852, ,ss3.33, of which
according to the Governors letter
only s37,355.01 could be realized on
At the time that this analysis o
1.-THE assets submitted by Sherrick wa
made, the Governor formally re
lquested Sherrick to resign. The res
ignation was not forthcoming TIL,
lGovernor requested that Sherricl
turn over to John E. Reed, the settle
rrent clerk in the Auditors Office
the securities enumerated, and thi
was done.
The Governor also demanded tha
settlement to the extent of S145, s.
be made with the state by Thurs
day, and on being advised by per
sons whom he thought to be in
lposition to know" that the settlemen
could not be made, he again sent
message, this time verbal, requesting
Sherrick to resign. At noon the re
quest had not been complied with
and it was repeated. Again not com
iplied with. the Governor entered a

of vacancy, and appointing Mr. Big

MASS OF SORES
Awful Suffering Of Little Boy
from an itching numour
CURED BY CUTICuRA
Not Ono Square Inch Of Skin on
His Whole Body Unaffected

"My little son, boy Of Eve, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc.
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try q certain medical college,
but Its treatment did NO good. At the
time I was induced to try Cuticura
he was 90 bad that had to cut his
hair off and put the Cuticura ONT
ment on him on bandages, as 1t was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
Of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mass of sores.
The bandages used to stick to his skin
and In removing them It used to take
the skin off with them, aud the screams
from the poor child were heart-break.
ing. began to think that he would
never get we'll, but after the second
application of Cuticura Ointment I
began to see signs of improvement,
and with the third and fourth appli.
cations the sores commenced to dry
up. His skin peeled off twenty times,
but 1t finally yielded to the treatment.
Now I can say that he is entirely
cured, and stronger and healthier
boy you never saw than he is to-day"
