TORTURED BY ITCHING ECZEMA
Suffered Tremendous Itching Over Whole Body Scratched Until BIed Worse at Night, With Soreness and Excruciating Pains "A Western Ladys
WONDERFUL CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Last year at this time I suffered with a tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, un.. til it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so suffered the torments of the damned, and l had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until l bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until l suffered excruciating pains. l did not know what it was, and resorted to a number of blood purifiers, using at times also Cuticura Soap. They told me then that I was suffering from eczema. Then I made up my mind that I would also use Cuticura Oint- ment and Cuticura Resolvent. l used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed l was greatly relieved. l continued until well, and now 1 am ready to recommend the Cuticura Rem edies to any one who suffers as did your obedient servant. Mrs. Mary Metzger, Sweetwater, Okla, June 2s, l905."

This meeting has been conducted by the Rev MT Wright of Indian Territory, and the able and eloquent sermons of MT.

Undoubt- edly, his stay in Tuscaloosa will be pro- ductive of a great deal of good.
 Miss Annalee Fitts, Miss Mary Emily Fitts and Miss Lucia VanHoose are in Montgomery, where they went to at tend the Beauvor german and the Gray s ball. They are three of Tuscaloosa's most popular young belles and will doubtless be the recipients of much admiration while in Montgomery

Bacon was concluded and much progress in the case was made thereby.
 The government is said to have not nearly completed its case, there being much oral and documentary evidence yet to be introduced.
 Many witnesses are thereafter to be examined for defense.
 An interested auditor in the court room today was Michael A. Connolly who was secretary to Captain Carter. and who was jointly indicted with the other defendants. Connolly said that he did not expect to be summoned as a wit ness and he maintains his old defiant attitude relative to the case, challeng- ing the government to bring him to trial

 The docket includes 142 cases set for trial Fifteen of these indictments are for capital ofrenses, twelve of these be- Ing charged with murder in the first degree. two for murder in the second degree and one for criminal assault
 Among the most notable of the alleged murder cases is that of W. C. Sandford. aged 60 years, who was convicted last court for the killing of J. A. Achons. a locomotive engineer, in North Montgom- cry. Sandford was sentenced to ten years in the state penitentiary, but re- gently the supreme court granted him a new trial Sandford Is from Battle Creek, Mich, and had previously won notoriety for making a trip around the world on a bicycle.
 The truth of the old Websterian adage, that murder will out" Is verified In the case of William Sankey. He was indicted for murder in the second degree, about thirty years ago, but he fled and has only recently been found in Butler county and brought to trial.

 Big Mardi Gras Travel.
 According to the statements of a prom inent Louisville and Nashville official, this will be a banner year for the carnival cities if the early and unusually heavy travel to these points may be taken as a measure of the vast throngs which al- ways follow the preliminary crowds.
 That our passenger facilities will be taxed to the utmost next Sunday in or der to accommodate the Mardi Gras vis- itors is without question: said prom inent official this morning. Why, yester- day we ran three No. Is to New Orleans, and today 1t is necessary to do so again. We will run four or five sections of No. 1 and four or five of No. next Sun day,
