.PPRIsoNER UP BEFORE MAYOR
HAS oUENcHEo HIS THIRST
IN MANY cLIMEs.

The most interesting prisoner that
has been in Mayor Arnetts court for
some time was Jimmie Caldwell. jim
mle is a man that has seen about sew
enty summers. He got thirsty and was
rounded up by the police force. When
the charge was announced Jimmie
arose and plead guilty and told the
mayor that he desired to be excused
for the he had drunk the stun in all
parts OF the globe. Jimmie seemed to
be wound up and before he could be
stopped he had named every principal
place known. Jimmie said that he
had drunk 1t in London, Liverpool
Dublin, Cork, Belfast, Edinburgh,
Stockholm and Hammerfest, had WIS.,
tied the beer gardens of Berlin, Ham
burg, Antwerp, Cronstait, BRUSHES, Co
penhagen and the Hague; he had sup
ped with the wine blbbers Of Paris,
Bordeaux, Lyons, Madrid and, Lisbon;
he had uncorked bottels in Rome. Ma
pies, Florence, Genoa, and Vienna; ae
had supped with the Russians in st.
Petersburg, Moscow and odessa, shar-
ed drink with the inhabitants Of Con-
stantinople; had refreshed himself
with the invlgorating liquid under the
shadows Of the immortal pyramid
Cheops; he had pulled shoppers from
flasks in Alglers, Morocco, Alexan-
dria and Monrovia; he had quatted from

the principal cities Of the Orient; he
had visited the jungles Of the dark
continent with Livingstone and had
slept on the grave of Napoleon. Jim

"Before five years have gone this
country will be at war with Japan,
for the hrst six months we shall be

however, we shall get and retain the
upper hand until peace shall be de-
clared, with this country debating the
terms" so stated one Of the regular
army officers today after a long dis

officers and the mounted oficers in
camp. They were being photograph

the talk turned to the Japanese CUES.

of the matter made by the army oticer

have been detailed to attend the va
rious encampments and assist with
their experienced suggestions and re.

George Nuzum, B. F. Mundel, w.

ed by the Circuit Court to assess the
value of the property in controversy

the baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany VS.. B. B. Ash ct al, went upon
the property yesterday to perform
their duties. The men took into con.
,sideration the different elements that
entered into the case and made their
report accordingly last night. The
commissioners fixed the value at three
thousand dollars. The railroad com.
pany offered the defendants in the
proceedings fifteen hundred dollars for
the property, G.61 acres Of land; the
defendants wanted one thousand dol.
lars per acre or six thousand six hun
dred and ten dolalrs in all. The com.
mlssioners determined the value at
twice the amount the railroad com
pany offered, which is less than one.
half the amount asked by the defend.
ants. The company may ask for a
Jury to pass on the value.
The property is two miles west Of
Glovers Gap. Since Glovers Gap hAs
been made the end Of the division It
has become one Of the most important
stations between Grafton and Wheel
ing. Four telegraph operators are en-
ployed at Glovers Gap, two work dur
ing the day and the other two during
the night. The office there is what
is known as central train dispatch
er's Office. One set Of operators tele-
graph west to Wheeling; the other one
east to Grafton. All trains, both pas
sengers and freights, stop at this sta.
to make provision for an increased
lion to get orders. The company has
water supply for Its engines and It Is
this purpose that It wants the land
which was condemned.

 SPOTS ON FACE
Physicians Called It Eczema in Worst Form Treated Disease for a Year but Could Not Cure It Patient Became Despondent- Suffering Promptly AIIayed and
DREADFUL DISEASE
 CURED BY CUTICURA

"About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, end which caused me great deal of annoy ance and suffering, to such an extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of --. After thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced 1t to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did mo no good. Finally became Respondent and decided to discontinue their ser vices. Shortly afterwards, my husband in reading a copy of a weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies. He purchased the en- tire outfit, and after using the contents of tho first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. 1 have not felt symp- tom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. The Cuticura Reme- dies net only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but of other complicated troubles as well, and 1 have been the means of others being cured of the same disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and I don't hesitate in saying that Cutieura Resolvent is the best blood medicine that the world has ever known.
