''I was in despair about my baby. When he was about two months old his face and head were full of scabs and very itching sores with terrible running matter. had to tie his little hands in bags for he used to make his face and head bleed. I had two or three doctors but they did not do any good. 1 was told to try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and I can say that they stopped the running matter immediately and soon after had washed him twice he looked almost well, but used about three cakos of Uuticura Soap and four or five boxes of Cuticura Ointment, con- tinuing the treatment for two or three months. l also used Cut!cura Reme- dies for my other children and took Cuticura Resolvent myself to purify my milk for my baby whom 1 nursed while he suffered with that terrible itching and sores he had. Now 1 always have Cuticura Soap and Ointment in the house handy. I shall be glad if you want to publish this letter so that other sufferers will come to know what good the Cuticura Remedies can do.

often recorded
Leading industries have orders COW

Labor Shares in PROSPERITY.

American wage earners are enjoy
ing large share of the general pros
perity of the country. This fact is
shown by an analysis of the recently
published report of the United States
bureau of labor on wages, hours of
labor and prices of food. The figures
show that the average wage Garner is
working shorter hours than ever be-
fore, that he is receiving more pay
for the short hour week than he for
merly received for the long hour
week, and that the increase in his
average wage has been so great that
its purchasing power has risen, not
withstanding the increase in prices of
many commodities. Finally, it shows
that there has been an enormous in
crease in the number of persons en-
ployed.

Over Ship Subsidy Bill
Ends in Its Passage.
BY II MAJORITY.
Clause Providing for Subsidies to
Lines Running to the Orient
Is Stricken Out.

Washington, ID. C.-The house at
the morning session Friday began
consideration of the general def
cheney bill and at 1 o'clock laid it aside
for the ship subsidy bill, whose pass
age developed one of the prettiest
fights in years. On the first vote the
democrats and the insurgent republic
ans had votes enough to defeat the
measure, but after three hours of
fierce contest the bill as perfected in
committee of the whole, striking out
provisions for steamship mail lines
from Pacific coast points to the Orient
was finally passed by IL majority, the
vote being 155 to 144.
Only four steamship lines are to be
subsidized under the measure in the
form finally agreed upon and all of
these are to sail for South American
ports. One of the lines is to be from
the Atlantic coast to Brazil; a second
is to be from the Atlantic coast to Ar
gentine and the third Atlantic line is
to be between the Gulf of Mexico and
Brazil. The fourth line is to be from
the Pacific coast to the isthmus Of
Panama, Peru and Chile.

ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS ARE
BY A CHICAGO G. ALTON Of
FICIAL.
GIVES ouTA STORY OF FRENZIED
FINANCE TO INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION.

New York. Counsel for the
government renewed their attack
upon the financial methods of the Har-
riman group in the Chicago G. Alton
railroad before the Interstate com
merce commission late Wednesday af-
ternoon when they called Charles w.
Hilliard, controller of the road, as a
witness. Under examination by Frank
B. Kellogg, Hilliard testified that he
became controlled in October last,
when, under the joint arrangement for
the management of the property, the
Rock Island took its turn.
Hilliard said that his first task was
to find money to carry on the improve
ments that were under way. There
was money in the treasury for current
expenses, but not enough to carry on
the improvements, which included a
cutoff of 341s miles of road from a
point near Murrayville to Springfield.
There was not enough money to COM
plete the building of this line, said
the witness.
II looked into the question of rails
Ing money by mortgage" he con-
tinued, "and l discovered that it had
already been mortgaged,"
do [ understand that this road had
been mortgaged before 1t was built?''
asked Commissioner Lane.
Yes" he answered, II was told that
II was covered by tho mortgage of
1900, and there was nothing that could
be done except put second mortgage
on it, which would have been poor Sc
curity," said Hilliard.
Mr.. Kellogg then read the mortgage
to show the line had been covered by
1t, and resuming the witness said:
'All the bonds were gone. | found
from the books that the $4,000, 900
had never been paid for the bonds,
that the $10,000,000 had never been
paid to Stanton for the stock, that the
$3,000,000 had never been paid to
Stanton for the road, but that the
$22,000,000 in bonds had been turned
over to the syndicate who delivered
the stock and the road through the in
termediary, Mr.. Stanton"

Mrs. Cougar is right, remarks the
Indianapolis News. in saying that
equal suffrage sentiment is growing
year by year, in so far at least as re-
lates to municipal affairs. Probably a
majority of intelligent and liberal
minded men are now ready to admit
that women who pay taxes, women in
terested in schools and in the social
order-a list that includes a majority
OF the women in any community
should have voice in the regulation
of local affairs. Men will not vote to
grant such change, however, until
women Enthusiastically manifest their
wish for it, and this they have not yet
done, since they are slower to adopt
progressive ideas than men.
