From itching and Bleeding Eczema
Pain Terrible - Body and Face
Covered with Sores - Doctors

ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTlCURA

"No tongue can tell how I suffered
for five years with itching and bleed
ing eczema, until l was cured by the
Cuticura Remedies, and I am so crate
full l want the world to know, for what
helped me will help others. MY body
and face were covered with sores.
One day it would seem to be better,
and then break out again with the
most terrible pain and itching. l have
been sick several times, but never in
my life did I experience such awful
suffering as with this eczema. l had
made up my mind that death was near
at hand, and I longed for that time
when l would be at rest. I had tried
many different doctors and medicines
without success, and my mother
brought me the Cuticura Remedies,
insisting that l try them. l began to
feel better after the first bath with
Cuticura Soap, and one application of
Cuticura Ointment. l continued with
the Soap and Ointment, and have
taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolv-
ent, and consider myself we'll. Any
person having any doubt about this
wonderful cure by the Cuticura REM
edies can write to my address.

A DECISIVE BATTLE.
Result Q the Fight At Mukden Is Awaited
With Anxiety.

ST. PETERSBURG, March Cit is
reported that General Kuropatkin has
launched a blow at Oyama's left and
center just east of the railroad. The
fighting is desperate along almost the
entire line. The Russian losses in
killed and wounded up to last night
we're $4,000. The Japanese losses are
believed to be fully 10000.
The result of the greatest battle Of
modern times is expected to be de-
termined today or tomorrow. Two of
the largest armies of recent times,
both in men and guns, are now locked
in a death struggle, and although
General Kuropatkin has evidently
made every preparation to cover his
retreat by removing his accumulated
stores and munitions northwa ard. it Is
now the opinion of military men here
that one side or the other cannot
escape an overwhelming disaster.
With both wings bent backward,
Kuropatkin's position appears to be
desperate, but the issue is still in the
balance. News of a victory for him is
only regarded as possible by his
breaking through the e%nveloping
lines, and news of a concentrated of
fensive attack is awaited. Unless
Kuropatkin can strike hard, it is
realized that he must lose.
Military critics declare Oyama has
not got enough superiority to take
risks. According to the war Office,
Oyama has not w 10000 men in e
cess of Kuropatkin, whose forces total
about 100000 men,. Should Oyama
succeed, the critics declare that ht
will prove himself to be a master OF
military science, and establish repu'
tation for military genius OF the first
magnitude. But unless he a com
plctely crush Kuropatkin's right, they
say Oyama is in immediate danger o
having his own left center cut OFT anc
destroyed. Kuropatkin's chance, thu

no RAILROAD COMMISSION,
Passed BY Legislative Assembly
Not Acceptable To Governor Toole.

HELENA, March Ex-Governor J. K.
ToOle today vetoed the railroad CON.
mission bill, passed at the recent ses.
sion of the legislature, and which
named NJ. L. Davidson, Nathan God.
frey and c.. j. Mcnamara as COM
missioners for six, four aud two years,
respectively. The governor assigned
five reasons for his actions, any one
of which, he asserts, was enough to
warrant his disapproval.
The first reason is found in that
the bill names the commissioners for
periods Of two, four and six years,
while it is his belief that the appoint
ing power rests with the executive
rather than the Legislature, il the com.
missioners are to be appointed at all.
Second, assuming that the legisla.
ture has the power of appointment in
this instance, the policy of exercising
that power is wrong and inexpedient.
His third objection is to the plan of
appointing the commissioners, which
extends the tenure of a majority of
the commissioners over and beyond
two regular elections, which he de.
clares to be inherently wrong and
manifestly vicious, and cites his OBJ.
jections to this policy which were set
forth in his veto of the bill increasing
the number of supreme court justices.
His fourth objection holds that the
bill is fatally defective in not provid-
Ing for the summary removal by the
governor of any of the commissioners
who negletcs his duty or who is guilty
of malfeasance, the only provisions
for removal of commissioners in such
cases being the ordinary criminal
procedure, which is both slow and ex.
pensive, involving a jury trial and
often with unsatisfactory results.
Lastly, the bill is Objectionable to
the governor in that there is no limit
to the indebtedness which may be
created against the state, despite the
fact that the bill carried an appro-
priation of $40, 600 for the mainte-
nance of the commission for two years.
He calls attention to the fact that
there is a special provision in the bill
whereby the commission is empowered
to employ counsel, experts and &C.
countants, the bills for which are to
be presented to and allowed by the
state board of examiners, and which
under section $50 of the Political code,
have to be allowed as a deficiency
after the appropriation is exhausted
and SEM by the board to the legisla.

The new primary law is not manda'

The process will be as follows:
Fifteen per cen or more OF the regis

the books of the last preceding elec.

of county commissioners or to the cIty
council, as the case may be, stating
that they wan, Il special election to

voters has signed the petitions, the
percentage being based upon the vote
for justice of the supreme court, the
county commissioners or the city
council must order such special cleo
ton. The special election must not
| be held more than 90 days from the
date the petitions are received. The
proposition of primary elections shall

When MarriaQe
Destroys Love
By Mrs. FRANK LESLIE. .....

NY man constantly assured that his wife lives, moves,
breathes and has her being solely in him, that she has a
fund of caresses and honeyed words always at high water
\ - mark and eager for al outlet, becomes first calmly con-
fdent, then careless, and at the last BORED AND
SURFEITED by sweets for which he never is allowed to get up an
appetite by fasting:
A man who is paying his addresses to a young girl or even to
an older woman holds himself under constant restraint in all CONVEX
sation bordering upon subjects unfit for an innocent and delicate
minded womans ear The stories, the jests, the songs, the conun-
drums, which alleviate the tolls Of the Office, the counting room, the
lunch counter, the club, the bachelor dinner or the little supper are
most vigorously ruled out from the conversation with which the
man entertains his betrothed OR ANY OTHER RESPECTABLE
WOMAN. But the betrothed becomes the wife, and all in a minute
the new made husband emancipatcs his tongue from all reserve,
throws aside all care as to whether what he has to say is fit for the
ears of a carefully educated girl, brings home the story, the jest, the
conversation, that ONLY LAST WEEK he would have felt it an
insult to repeat in her presence, astonhhes, shocks, repels her in all
her finer nature.
The girl is the SAME girl from whom all coarseness or
indelicacy has been carefully kept, and she has never realized that
such matters COULD be spoken of, far less that they m tho habit
ual conversation of a large class of men, including her own especial
man. Probably, poor SOU, she has i1caizcd this man into n Of
those "lIEaOS DE ROMAN" never met with outside Of romance
or a young girls imagination; she has fancicd that he is so much bet
ter, wiser and stronger than she; that her one great effort must be
to keep up with him, TO CLIMB TO HIS LEVEL They marry
his pursuit is over, and he throws aside the fine costume of the chase,
puts on his soned workaday clothes, lights his pipe and, throwing him
self upon the couch with his heels higher than his head, amuses
his wife with two or three of the new stories and delicate tests with
which "the fellows greeted his return among them.
Just fancy the disllusionment! Just fancy how the "IIERO
DE ROMAN" becomes a fading phantom, how the feet Of clay
all at once become more conspicuous than the head Of gold, how
she feels insulted and frightened and bewildcred, AND THEN
BLAMES HERSELF that she should feel so and tries to believe
that she is a poor, ignorant little fool and that whatever her husband
thinks right to say to her must be right! And SO begins in that wom-
ans heart a conflict which more often than not ends by the destruc-
ton of all that was best and finest in her love.

How the Facts In q WIN Forgery
Case Were Brought Out.
In his capacity as judge Lord Bramp-
ton always insisted on the imperative
demand that every case should be in
vestigated in its minutest details. Up
on small points the great issue of a
case depends. AS exemplifying this
Lord Brampton cites a curious case
that came before him on the western
circuit:
"a solicitor was charged with forg-
ing the will Of lady, which devised
to him q considerable amount Of her
property, but as the case proceeded it
became clear to me that the will was
signed after the lady's death and then
with q dry pen held in the hand of the
deceased by the accused himself while
he guided it over signature which he
had craftily forged. A woman was
present when this was done, and as
she had attested the execution Of the
will she was q necessary witness fox
the prisoner, and in examination in
chief she was very clear indeed that it
was by the hand Of the deceased that
the will was signed and that she her
self had seen the deceased sign it.
Suspicion only existed as to what the
real facts were until this woman went
into the box. and then a scene highly
dramatic occurred in ber cross exami-
