gets out of sorts. An overworked

"NIy son. who is now twenty-five
years OF age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around us. and some from
larger places. but no one helped him
a particle. The eczema was something
terrible. and the doctors said 1t was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered. all but his feet. l had to
bandage his limbs and arms: his
scalp was Just dreadful. A friend

Victoria, British Columbia.-Alarm-
ing earthquake shocks in German New
Guinea, the Bismarck archipelago, fol
lowed by tidal waves, causing much
loss of life among the natimes, are re-
ported by the steamer Miowera, from
the South seas. Captain Prejawa OF
the German steamer Star reported that
near Finchafen his steamer rolled and
vibrated considerably, due to seismic
disturbances. The effect was plain

mountains. A tidal wave swept the
low-lying coast, devastating the coun-
try for forty miles. A tidal wave

Yale Defeats Harvard.

Now Haven, Conn.--Yale's bright
blue banners wave triumphantly over
the city, the signal of another victory
over Harvard Saturday, the final score
being 6 to o. The crimson went down
to defeat In desperate battle, which
in football strategy and spectacular
plays has had few equals since the two
universities have met. To Yale passed
the almost undisputed title of the col
lege championship of the country,
clouded only by the drawn, no-score
contest at Princeton week ago. II
Harvard had won she would have been
practically certain of the champion

VAN WYKs CONVICTED.
Found Guilty Of Numbering Mrs. Van
Wyk's Sister.

Denver.-A dispatch from Wray,
Colorado. November 23rd, says: After
celebrating for nearly twenty-four
hours, the jury in the case of Gerrit
Van Wyk and his wife, Wourtheje Van
Wyk. this morning at 1890 brought in
its verdict finding the two defendants
guilty of the murder of Gerretje
Hast. The verdict read:
Guilty as to both, with penalty of
life Imprisonment" Thus ends the
murder trial that has held the atten-
ton OF the people Of the state for sew
eral days.
For the first time since the begin
ming of this remarkable trial the two
defendants showed more than a pass
ing interest In the proceedings in the
court room. Mrs. Van Wyk collapsed
when she heard the reading of the ver-
dict and creid out continually that she
was innocent OF the killing of her sis
ter. Miss Hast.
Il did not do It," she cried, "and
do not know who did 1t. What will
happen to my children and baby?" Van
Wyk himself did not give vent to any
spoken expression, but the lines Of his
face were drawn and he was pale. AS
the jury left the court room, Van Wyk
turned to one Of them, Claude Terb-
bett. and said:
SHANE, and you pretend to be an
honest man."
Isaac Pelton, attorney for the de-
tense, as soon as the verdict was an
nounced, asked for an arrest of SEN
tence and time in which to file n mo-
lion for new trial. He was given fif
teen days in which to prepare his mo-
ton.
The Van Wyks were charged with
the murder OF Gerretje Hast, the sis.
ter of Mrs. Van Wyk. December 27th
last. The dead body of the young
woman was found in her lonely cabin
on the plains. and the Van Wyks were
arrested and charged with the crime.
The testimony showed, among other
Lungs, that the Van Wyks held an In
surance policy on the life of the Hast
girl for $4,000. This, the prosecution
said. furnished the motive for the
crime.

Records of Waqers.

Betting is neither SO general nor SO

All manner OF bets are entered there,

NOT YET READY FOR sELF.Gov-
EMINENT.
so MANY OFFICERS THINK

Uncle Sans Soldiers Must Stay Until
Peace is Fully Assured-PoliticaI
Feeling Between Factions 10 Still
Dangerously Bitter.
Washington.-It is said here that
tho United States is in Cuba to stay
for some years to come, and, perhaps.
for all time. How long the soldiers
stay, and how long the affairs OF the
Cuban government are administered
by Americans, depends wholly on the
Cubans. Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bacon are
declared to have come away from Ha-
yana thoroughly convinced that the
people Of the island. in their present
stale of political development. were
Incapable of governing themselves.
Before leaving Havana, Mr.. Taft told
the Cuban political leaders that our
troops would not be withdrawn, and
we would not leave the island to Itself
again until confidence had been re-
stored and the affairs of government
put on a stable, sound and permanent
basis.
Since It has been determined to re-
tain control Of the island, every con-
sileration demands that the work of
putting business on a normal basis
should be undertaken at once. Dis
patches that have come from Havana
since Governor Magoon assumed con-
trcl have not been reas5uring in tone.
General Bells plan to give the
troops practice marches" through
the island, 1t Is acknowledged, is moth
Ing more than plan to impress upon
the Cubans the fact that the United
States is in armed control Of their
country and will not permit another
outbreak. Another reason for these
marches is to preserve the discipline
of the troops.
The peace that exists in Cuba to-day
Is only on the surface. and every one
who has recently visited the island re-
alizes that If our soldiers were with
drawn now a condition OF anarchy
would follow. The feeling between the
defeated Moderates and the Liberals Is
bitter to a degree. Recent cable DIS
patches report harsh dissensions IN the
Liberal party. The Cuban political

When President Roosevelt returns
to Washington he and Secretary Taft
will go carefully over the entire situa-
ton and determine when the election
shall be held and what method shall
be taken to insure continuation oil
peace and normal conditions In CUBA.
That this will mean the retention OF
troops and a certain number OF civil
officers Is now, definitely known.

Much will depend upon the result
of this series. and the subsequent ser

tories for Cairo and a few more de-
feats for the Vincennes team which
now holds the head of the column
and Cairo will have the pennant in her
grasp. The honor is worth striving
for and the Cairo boys ought to re.

victory and honor is being waged and
