Joseph w. Wheatley, the treasury spe-
cial agent who was arrested In Nova SEQ
tia at the instance of officials of the Cana
dian government. has been instructed by
Secretary Shaw to employ counsel for his
own defense SO far as his strictly official

ley is accused by the Canadian authorities
of having purloined or concealed certain
papers which either belonged to them or
which they were entitled to examine. 1t
Is assumed by the officials in Washington
that the special agent Is guilty of no un-
lawful act. and that when arrested he was
simply discharging his official duties.
Secretary Shaw said this afternoon that
the government would lend every assist
ance to Mr.. wheatley's defense, unless 1t
10 shown that the special agent commit
ted some unlawful act distinctly apart from
his duties as an officer of the United States.
The Secretary understands that Mr..
Wheatey was engaged with Canadian Off
Gals in running down some smuggling
cases. According to the special agent
story his investiga tons resulted in the I'M
phcation OF some Canadian officials and
that this fact was responsible for his ar
rest

heiskeII's Ointment
Cures Skin Diseases

For half n century HeiskelIs Ointment has
been used in all cases of skin disease with
most gratifying results. Many have become
entirely cured who had suffered untold pain
and annoyance for years. One man in New
Baltimore, Pa, writes that 1t cured him when
he was raw all over. A lady in Philadelphia
cured n case of letter OF six years standing
in fourteen days, while a man in Allentown,
Pa, cured his case of eczema that had trou-
boxes of the ointment. These and hundreds
of others have found that Heiskelrs Oint-
ment is worth mere than its weight in gold
Being n purely vegetable preparation, Heis-
kells Ointment soothes and heals where
others fail. 1t allays the itching and burn
ing common to all skin disease, and all yield
quickly to its magic influence.
There are many varieties of skin diseases
with confusing titles, but they are all suscep-
tible to one and the same cure-Heiskelrs
Ointment. No one need suffer long If afflicted
with any skin disease not of a constitutional
character they will apply this remedy. This
includes such skin diseases as erysipelas, pru-
rigo, eczema, milk crust, itching piles, scald-
head, letter, ringworm, blackh eads, psoriasis,
pimples, freckleS. In some cases it is neces-
sary to give some constitutional treatment,
as in erys1pelas, eczema, etc.; the liver should
be toned to healthy action and the blood and
all the secretions purified. In all cases of
skin disease cures are fastened by the use OF
Helskell s Medicinal Soap before applying the
ointment, and in cleaning up the blood and
liver with Heiskell's Blood and Liver Pills.
Heiskells Medicinal and Toilet Soap con-
tains in a modified form the medicinal prop
critics of Heiskelps Ointment, and is particu-
larly effective in slight disorders of the skin,
as rash, eruptions and abrasions. 1t cleans
perfectly, and in the bath is a great luxury.
Heislzell's Blood and Liver Pills contain the
active medicinal principles of various roots
and herbs approved in medical practice.
that Heiskells Ointment will not cure it. The
ointment is sold at 60c box. Soap at Csc q

simply a part of the decorations. 1t hap
pened to be so in this instance. In the

Matches Cut n Big Figure.
Sometimes l think the hotels supply
half the city of Omaha with matches.
You would be surprised to learn the size
of the match bill of hotel In Omaha for
month. OF course we expect to give
matches away in almost any quantity our
guests desire. But the guests do not take
one-ffth Of the matches taken from our
desks. whenever anybody wants a match
he walks into the hotel and fills his vest
pocket with them, without even saying
thank you.
about a year ago a New York travelling
man came to our hotel and after register
ing handed me a bundle OF money wrapped
up loosely in a piece of newspaper and
asked me to take care of 1t for him. I
put the money in the safe and he went
out and Immediately proceeded to get ON
a big drunk. He went down into the red
light district and eventually wound up at
the police station. There he complained
that he had been robbed of a big sum OF
money. He telephoned me to come down TO
the station to get him out or rather testify
to his respectability and did so. He
came into the hotel shortly afterwards and
Mt to oh ~

him why he wanted to draw on his house
when he had money He denied having a
dollar. Then asked him II he remembered
leaving a bundle OF money with me. He
had forgotten all about II. Well. I re-
| stored the money to him and he WAS man
enough to telephone down to the police
station and report that he had found his
money and to release the suspected parties
from arrest.
Woman Finds the Diamond.
Another case happened with me not long
afterwards. Chicago couple stopped over
at the hotel enroute from the Pacific coast
and Just before leaving I'm the morning the
! woman reported that she had lost a val
liable diamond pin that she was sure had
been stolen from her room. They did not
want to make a fuss about It, but asked
that we would try and locate the thief and
recover the pin. They went away and We
made very careful search OF the rooms
occupied by the couple but found moth
ing. In the meanwhile one or two Of the
house help were held under suspicion and
we were about to discharge the suspected
parties when a telegram came from the
man stating that his wife had found the
pin. In preparing her toilet the morning
she left the pin was brushed on the dresser
and managed to be caught in a part of her
dress, to which It was still adhering when
| they reached Chicago"

and getting fixed better all the time.
For nine-tenths of the year the farm
er can load on all his wagon can hold
up, and haul it to town. don't hear
any complaint from the farmer about
the roads. They seem to be the least
of his troubles. And if there is bad
place still left, here and there, when
he sees the automobiles stall up there,
he feels well repaid for the little ex-
ira effort it is for his team to get
through.
Now, We are going to build hun
dred thousand dollar court house Cor
| hope We are), but if we ever get
well started on this good road hobby,
that court house will be small ex-
pense in comparison.
Our present board of commissioners
are men of good judgment. and have
kept the roads in good shape at no
great expense to the people They
are the first board we have had since
the county was created who have
made stand against the roads being
turned into all sorts of bad places,
by ranchmen who wanted to get them
off their land. Nature has favored us
with the best natural roads on earth,
and IL We keep them from being turn
ed out into the bad places, they will,
in a great measure, take care of them
selves, and there will be no chance
for a road graft to get started.
The farmers should have an organ
ization so they can work together bet
ter for the measures they want, and
against those they do not want. Ev-
cry trade, business and profession, ex-
cept farming. is organized these days,
and all have betterel their condition
by doing so. And farmers can, toe.
if they only think so and go at it.
In the meantime. let the farmers
vote for farmers or ranchmen when
ever they can. especially for county
commissioners and members of the
legislature for they are bound to look
al things more from his standpoint
than mon of some other calling
