GIRL BABY''S
 AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight of Eye Destroyed by Disease Tried Five Doctors but Grew Worse -In Agony Eight Months Parents Discouraged, Until They Tried Cuticura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
 SORES DISAPPEARED

"Our little girl. one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor said it was. We called in the family doctor and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as tho teeth were through she would be all right; But she still grew worse; Doc- tor No. 5 said 1t was eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, SO we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3. He came over and looked her over and said that he could not do any thing moro for her, that we had better take her to some eye specialist. since 1t to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye sight was gone, but that he could help it. We thought we would try doctor No. 5. Well, that proved the same, only he charged $1O more than doctor No. 4. We were nearly discouraged. saw one of the Cuticura advertisements in the paper and thought we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so went and purchased set of Cuticura Remedies, which cost me $1,. and in three days our daughter. who had been sick about ment, and in one week all sores had dis appeared. Of course it could not re- store the eyesight, but if we had used Cuticura in time I am confident that 1t would have saved the eye. We think there is no remedy SO good for any skin trouble or impurity of the blood as Cuticura. Mir. and Mrs. Frank Abbott, R. F. D. No. 9, Fulton. Oswego Co.,, N. Y., August l7, 19O6."

The rank and fle -the common peopls"-as they are usually referred to. are doubtless hon. est and we'll meaning, and they follow their leaders without knowing or in- quiring in . way to keep themselves informed. Like most private citizens everywhere they vote the ticket pre- scented them and think no more about it.
 But this cannot be said of the com parative minority who keep posted on public affairs. They know that the Republican organization in Pennsyl- vania is corrupt in all its details. They know that for years the State has been practically at the mercy of the gangs of looters Who have succeeded each other in public once and who have vied with each other in political and official corruption and spoliation. All this is plain to a man there who has kept himself informed and If he is an honest man it must be hard to be a Re- publican. as The Sun puts it.

BOWEN BELIEVES BOARD WILL
 AGREE Z.
Supervisor Is In Favor of Re- pairing, Naco Road and of Building New Pest House In Conjunction With City.

It is probable that within the near future the improvements recommend ed by the city council in regard to Naco road and the pest house will be well under way. as J. J. Bowen, mem Der of the board of supervisors, intends bringing the matters to the attention of the board and there does not seem to be any doubt but that the members will recognize the justice of the propo- sitions and cooperate with the city.
 The matter of repairing Naco road was brought up at meeting of the city council on Wednesday evening and it was determined to take the matter up with the board of superyis- ors and ask that body to appropriate enough money to put tha road in good condition. At the meeting of the coun- cil Mayor Cayen also brought to the attention of that body the fact that the pest house which the city is using at the present time is utterly unfit for use and earnesly recommended that a new one be constructed at once at some point more convenient to the city. On this proposition it was also thought the count! ought to stand q portion of the expense, as the county patients in time of an epidemic al treated at the citys pest house.
 When seen yesterday and asked concerning the matter Bowen said:
 "In regard to the matter of iepair- ing Naco road think it snoLiI be done, but I do not think the fault lies entirely with that portion of the high way for which the county is responsi- ble. Several of the worst places in the road are within the city limits, and have caused trouble every time there has been a heavy rain. How ever, think the board of supervisors will be willing to cooperate with the city and have the entire road put In irst-class condition.
 q have looked into this matter be- fore, and I think that concrete fumes about thirty feet in length, as wide as the road, and with large concrete abut- ments on each end, are what is need ed to place the road in proper condi- tion- 1 will recommend this to the board of supervisors, and If the city will attend to its share, I do not think there will be any trouble in the matter.
 "In regard to the county's cooper ating with the city in the construction ! of pes house, this matter has always met with the approval of the board, and I think that as soon as it is brought to 1 their attention it will be approved. l agree with Mayor Caven that the present structure is utterly | unfit for use, and that a new one should he constructed at once. l be- lieve further that the new pest house should be a substantial structure, and protected in such a way that when it is not in use Mexicans cannot get in and steal the furniture, at the risk of carrying some contagious disease all over the district.
 Both of these propositions, I think, will meet with the approval of the board, as they are evidently just, and require attention"

TN BOX STILL CANNOT BE
 FOUND
Administrator Madden and GoIde LeWs Make Another Search to Locate It. But Find No CIeW Whatever

Making the last attempt to find the mysterious tin box which is supposed to contain mining stocks, jewelry and valuables, and probably the will of Epherm Murley, Charles Maddern, the administrator, and Goldie Lewis, made a trip to the old adobe hut in which he lived before his death, to see if anything could be found that would lead to it's discovery. No signs of a hiding place in the walls, floor or cell ing was found. rts
 MT. Maddern has made inquiry throughout the city relative to the mysterious tin box. He can not find any one who has seen 1t since Mur- ley's death. He believes now that the house was entered and the box stolen However, only the iewelry can be dis posed of by the party who took the box, and the c. & A. stock, together with the will, can not be transferred by any one other than the administra- tor. Nss
 It has been learned that Murley owned 200 shares of Brooks Consoli- dated stock. Administrator Maddern has written to the c. & A. people in Calumet, Michigan, asking the number of shares of it's stock Murley owned. When an answer is received it is prob ably an estimate can be made as to Murley's financial standing. A letter has also been sent to his relatives in England, but no answer has been re- ceived. tg= t.-- ....-r..
 Maddern states! he has positive proof that the tin box contained between 90 and 40 shares of C. & A. stock, two gold rings, a gold stick pin and sev, eral other articles Of minor value.

MRS. CRILTON PLEASES
 AUDIENCE AT '. M.C.A.
Applause From the Largest Crowd Yet Gathered, Greet
 Her Lecture,

Beyond all shadow of doubt the entertainment by Mrs. William Calvin Chiffon at the Y N. c. A. last evening was the best number that has yet aD- peared in the course. The largest au- dience of the season greeted her, and this in spite of two other counter at fractions. The audience was more than pleased with her superb inter pretations of Mark Twain, Ella Wheel CT Wilcox and Rudyard Kipling, and were delighted with the presentation of Uncle Remus" by Joel Chandler Harris.
 The first part of the program was given over to a delightful sketch by Ruth McEnery Stewart in three parts, entitled Christmas at the Trimbles, |" and the audience was sent into par oxysisms of laughter as the predica- ments of the Trimbles were unfolded. Her negro dialect stories were splend- i'd and perfectly rendered.
 Al the special request of the audi ence last night Mrs. Chiffon rendered a selection from Shakespeare's King John" The loud applause which was given this number was evidence of her exceptional ability in the heavier se- lections. Mrs. Chiffon closed her pro gram in most pleasing manner with the recitation of Kipling's Recessional
 There are few entertainers who can give a whole evenings program un- supported, yet there was not a dull moment in last evenings program. Bis bee patrons of the course have been well pleased with the high class en- tertainment given at the Y. M. c. A this winter.
 The next number which will appear ! February g, is lecture by Camuel Choate Crouch on the Simple Life"
