sour baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his l4cad, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, IN fact.
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping With the case, and
after various experiments Of his. which
resulted IN no benefit to the child, wa
sent to Mazon, H., to druggist and got
full set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
TO improve Immediately, and IN about
three or four days began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time IN year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception Of a rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
viii be replaced by healthy one.
Praise for the CUticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there Is nothing too good that We
could say Ia their favor, for they Ger
tainly saved our baby's life, for he WAS
the most awful sight that ever beheld,

BOSTON INVENTOR
THINKS He OWNS
PART OF CHICAGO

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-In the federal
circuit court yesterday Sidney Smith
of Cambridge, Mass, filed IA suits
for writs Of eiectment ON land herr
worth s2.50O 600 The city and 1000
other defendants are named in the
suits. The land named is almost the
entire territory south of 35th street
to S9th street, between Grand boule,
ward and Lake Michigan. According
TO Smith. the original grant of the
land never appeared on record, the
man obtaining the grant having died
before the instrument was registered.
Smith claims TO have purchased the
claims of the heirs of the grantee.
Boston, Dec. 1s.-sidney Smith is a
Boston inventor with residence in
Cambridge. The basis of the claims
rests upon affidayits to an entry made
in 1884 by Jeduthan Smith of Chica-
SO. grandfather of the claimant Tho
federal government was selling land
in Chicago at that time and Jeduthan
Smith paid 5000 for his purchase,
which was duly recorded at the land
Office at Danville. Ill.
He filed his papers under the law.
and they were recorded at Washing
ton. The act Of congress passed
about that time provided that no land
patent To purchasers of that date
should be issued for FIVE years. Events
so happened that no patent to this
land was issued until 1899. when Sid
ney Smith, the present claimant. APP
pearing as heir Tor his grandfather,
secured one from the land office in

BINDER Irvine At
THE STATE PRISON
BOARD OF CONTROL WILL MAKE
FAVORABLE REPORT.
HAS MADE INVESTIGATION
Minnesota Scores Success With Its
Piant-Extracts From Warden's
Report-Net Profit Of $1,000
Irvine All Sold to Home Farmers
Some Wisconsin Facts.

When the Wisconsin legislature
meets in January it will be confront
ed by proposition to install and
maintain binder Irvine plant in the
state prison at Waupun. The pro
posal will come from no less an au-
thority than the state board of con-
troll and will be backed by the report
Of the investigation made by that
body in accordance with instruction
contained in joint resolutian Of the
legislature of 1866, which provided
a thorough investigation of the work
ing of binder Irvine plants now in op-
Grafton in prisons in other states and
the financial results of such plants"
The board made the investigation
in November principally at the Min
nesota prison in Saltwater, and the
conditions found there and the sue
cess that has followed the installa-
ton of the twine plant will be the
basis of the recommendation to be
made.
From the biennial report of the
warden of the Minnesota prison for
the years 1866 the following ex-
tracts from that portion bearing on
the Irvine plant will be of interest:
The twine plant has been unusu-
ally prosperous the past two years.
The state has realized a net profit of
$409, 452.S7 and the farmers of the
state have been benefited by an ac-
tual saving of $734,973.45, in the cost
of Irvine, making total gain to the
state and the consumers of s1,144,-
1852. The price of outside manu-
facturers to the consumer compared
with the Minnesota prison prices, as
given by the United States commits
sioner Of labor in his goth annual
report on convict labor, shows that
the difference in prices to the con
sumner of Minnesota for 1905-06, was
Az to 6 cents per pound. Our net
earnings AMI profits for the past two
years have exceeded total expenses
for the maintenance Of the prison by
1871 ,0S040."
The report shows that since 1902
there has been no deficit in the per
capita cost of maintenance, but on
the contrary the per capita earnings
have been in excess of maintenance

FORMER SENATOR BROWN OF
UTAH DIES.
WOMAN NEAR TO COLLAPSE
May Not Be Able to Be Arraigned
for Several Days-Defense Will
Be Justification Under @Unwritten
Law"-Says Kidney Trouble
Caused Death.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Former
United States Senator Arthur Brown
of Utah, who was shot Saturday af-
ternoon by Mrs. AnnaaM. Bradley,
died at midnight last night.
Mrs. Bradley will be arraigned to-
day on a charge of murder. Her at
torneys will set up the defense that
she was justified under the "unwrit
ten law" in shooting Mr. Brown.
DR.. White, superintendent Of the
hospital, declared that Browns death
was due to complications brought on
by kidney trouble and not to septic
poisoning as the result of the wound.
The shock of the bullet wound, how
ever, had aggravated an affectation
Of the kidneys until these organs. re-
fused to perform their functions.
Mrs. Bradley is on the verge of
collapse and her physicians say that
it may be several days before she will
be able to be arraigned in court. She
will be transferred from the house of
detention to cell in the Jail.
Mrs. Bradley was informed of Sen
ator Browns death at 12:45 this
morning but made no comment.
Career of Senator Brown.
Mr.. Brown came to the senate in
1896 when Utah was admitted to the
union. He served about Is months.
He had been prominent as a crimi-
nal lawyer in his early career in
Utah, but in later years had been
giving his attention to mining cases.
1t was to appear as counsel before
the supreme court Of the United
States on Monday, in a mining case,
that he came to Washington, where
he was followed by Mrs Bradley,
who. it is said. learned of his appoint
ment to meet Mrs. Adams, mother of
Maud Adams. the actress, in New
York after he had appeared before
the supreme court. She left for
Washington Immediately and regis
tered at the Hotel Raleigh as Mrs.
Anna Brown and was assigned to a

prior to his recall from Austria about
a year ago. The whole affair shows
as clearly as possible that neither
Mr.. Storer nor his wife is possessed
of common discretion. They, as con-
verted Catholics. thought themselves
Obliged to take part in Roman poll
tics. They were determined to adj
vance the interest Of Archbishop Ire
land. They knew the president pri-
vately shared their admiration for
him. and they endeavored to use Mr..
Roosevelt as an advantage in tier
enterprise. When the president real
ICED that his friendship was being
abused he could take no other course
than to Withdraw II and to remove
Mr.. Storer from his diplomatic place
in the service Of the United States.
and this he did. hence the row.

room near Senator Browns apart
ments.
According to statement made by
Senator Brown shortly after he was
taken to the hospital. he found Mrs
Bradley In his room going through
his probate papers. She demanded
that he marry her at once and when
he refused she fired the shot which
proved fatal. There were no eye
witnesses of the tragedy.

New York, Dec. 13.-Secretary of
State Root was the guest of honor at
the annual dinner of the Pennsylvania
society of New York, last evening.
More than 700 members of the soci-
ETY. were present. Mr.. Root responded
to the toast: The United States.
1T is plainly to be SEEM he said,
that the people of the country are
coming to the conclusion that In GER
tain important respects the local laws
of the separate states which were ad-
equate for due and just regulation
and control of business which was
transacted and activity which began
and ended within the limits of the
several states are inadequate for due
and just control of business and
activities which extend throughout ali
states, and more power of regulation
and control is gradually passing into
the hands of the national govern
ment."
He cited as instances, the federal
antitrust law. anti-rebate law, rail-
road rate law. meat inspection law,
oleomargarine lev and pure food law.
The process that interweaves the
life and action of the people in every
section of our country with the peo-
pie in every other section, he said.
continues and will continue with III
creasing force and effect; we are
urging forward in the development of
a business and social life which tends
more and more to the obliueration of
state lines and the decrease of state
power as compared with national
power.
submit TO your judgment, and !
desire to press upon you with all the
earnestness | possess, that there Is
put one way in which the states IF
the union can maintain their power
and authority under the conditions
now before US, and that way Is by an
awakening on the part of the states
at the real question OF their own du-
ties to the country at large. Under
the conditions which now exist mo
state can live unto itself alone and
regulate its affairs with sole refer
ence to its own treasury, its own con-
venience. its own special interests.
Every state Is bound to frame its
legislation and its administration
with reference not only to its own
special affairs, but with reference to
the effect upon all Of its sister states
1t IS useless for the advocates of state
rights to inveigh against the supren,.
acy OF the constitutional laws of the
United States or against the exten-
sion OF national authority In fields OF
necessary control where the states
themselves fail In the performance of
their duty. The instinct for self gov
eminent among the people of the
United States is too strong to permit
them long to respect any ones right
TO exercise power which he fails to
exercise. Governmental control which
they deem just and necessary they
