WORST CASE OF ECZEMA.
Spread Rapidly Over Body-Limbs
and Arms Had to Be Bandaged-
Marvellous Cure by Cuticura.

'My son., who is now twenty-five YEARS
of age, when he was four months old>,b e-
gan 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 some
thing terrible, and the doctors said it
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were COW
cred, all but his feet. | had to bandage
his limbs and arms; his scalp was just
dreadful.
A friend leased me to try Cuticura,
and began to use all three of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. He was better in two
months; and in six months ne was well.

In Paris a company has contracted
with the municipal authorities for all
the foliage to be derived from the
trees of the public squares, gardens,
streets and woods within the limits
of the city. These leaves are to be
compressed under high pressure, and
will then be converted in fuel which,
it is claimed, will have a far greater
calorific capacity than coal or any
other fuel known.

SHORT CHANCE ARTIST
 WHO MET WITH FAILURE
He Broke Out in Two Spots and Both Ended Dissstrously. A Small Bur glary and Several Drunks.

The police had rather busy day yesterday though the net result was only the jailing of two or three drunks.
 In one instance they got their clutches
 on a man who is undoubtedly a crook.
 but the circumstances were not con-
 victing. and he was permitted to go
 with the advice that he had better ,imake for another port before he was caught in his work. for his identity is
 is now too well known to make this a profitable field.
 About 10 o'clock yesterday morning he breakfasted at the chop house of Class Bros. and in settlement rendered a ten-dollar bill to the cashier. re- ceiving his change. He stepped outside. then came back and claimed he was five dollars short; that the cashier had given him change for five instead of d ten. He made a very loud talk. and one of the Gass brothers. seizing a weapon, pointed it at him and told him to throw up his hands. as it was sus- pected at once that he was a short change artist. The purpose of MT. Gass was to search the man. and if the proper change was found. proceed against him in the usual course. but others nearby thinking his purpose was to shoot. grabbed hiS Sweapon. By that time a large crowd had gathered and Officer Moore had been sum moned. About the same time an ems ploye of the Hotel Adams stepped in and announced that the suspect needed watching, for he had tried to short change a clerk at the hotel who had given him bill for some small change. Before the officer arrived the man had been released and made his way out of the crowd and to the city hall.
 When Officer Moore returned to the city hall the man was waiting for him. but it was then too late to prove an thing for if the man had received his proper change he had had time to dis pose of it to someone else. He told the police that he was the aggrieved one. and the officer went back to the chop house with him to investigate further. In the meantime the officer had recognized the, man as one who had conducted a booth at the fair ground. and they had also met an other man who informed the officer

cashiers word for it if she insisted that she was right. She did. and the man left. that manner of closing tha incident being construed as an. ack- nowledgmet of the mans guilty effOrr to get something for nothing. Had he not been permitted to gec away m rHe first place his change would probably have been found to be all right.
 Another incident that claimed atten- ton was the burglary the night be- fore. of the Home Bakery at the cor ner of Third and Washington streets.
 The burglar appropriated to himself the munificent sum Of thirty five cents that he found in the drawer. and de- parted through a window by which he had entered. on the east side of the building. The proprietor says he has formed s resolution to hereafter lock the window when he goes home, log sometimes he leaves as much as sixty cents in the drawer and such careless methods might be an encouragement to real robbery.
 Another case was that of an Indian who was arrested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. He was released on bail, being well armed with money He is said 10 be one of the few In- dians belonging Co the capitalist class. owning d store on the reservation and counting his wealth by some thou sands.
 Another Indian was locked up on l

that he knew No. 1 was innocent, for he rOomed at the same place, and that he did not have sense enough to short change anybody. No. was recognized as an individual of similar occupation at the fair ground and probably an accomplice. After his story had been secured the officer advised No. to look out that his own skirts were clear for Jhe system was well recognized.
 Going to the restaurant, there was a further investigation, and it was sus gested that the cash register be asky,. to give an accounting on the theory that if there had been a mistake. the cash would be over five dollars. He said that he was willing to take the
