Mr.. J. Weber, of 1865 Vine street,
San Jose, CAL, writes an interesting
story of terrible skin suffering which
ended in robust health when he found
remedy which cured him like magic.
Here is Mr.. Weber's own story:
Sin July. 1900, my face began to be
affected with terrible skin disease.
l went to doctor, and he told me
that | had been poisoned and ne
wanted to operate on me. l refused
to let him do so and after a few
months my face was an awful sight.
You could see that it was diseased to
the bone. Some people claimed that
L had cancer Great boils would
appear. increasing in size and painlng
me terribly. begun To doctor again.
but no one could help me; large
pimples and boils would continue to
come. At that time l had as many as
ten on my face. | was such terrible
sight that my friends could not bear
to see me. doctored for five years
until my funds gave out and / had to
stop. During this time l tried over
300 remedies.
lone day happened to hear of ID.
ID. ID. Prescription and learned that
it had cured several bad cases of
Eczema. l purchased bottle and then

bottles cured me. 1t has been eight
months now and the disease has not re-
turned. My friends ask what it was
that cured me of the awful skin trouble
and answer that it was ID ID. ID.

Bloodhounds were put on the trail
of gang which attempted to blow up
the little town of Stratford near Web
ster City Wednesday night. Five
huge sticks of dynamite were found
under the city water tank in the very
heart of the town. The fuse had been
lighted, but the spark had gone out,
probably because they feared they had
been discovered. No further attempt
has been made. There was enough of
the explosive to have blown to atoms
the entire town and killed score of
people. The trail of the hounds was
lost in the Des Moines river, west of
the town. The town is in a furore of
excitement for fear the gang may re-
turn and again attempt their das-
tardly work.

THE WEALTH OF
SENATOR ELKINS
SEEMED TO HAVE PECULIAR IN
FLuENcE OVER CERTAIN BAL
TlMoRE couNclLMEN.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. 2a. =
Testimony of a sensational turn again
cnliyensd the proceedings yesterday
in the suit by Robert Burton and Geo
A. Dubrueil, of Baltimore, against
Senator Ellsins for 100000.
Burton stated he had been told by
certain councilmen OF Baltimore that
unless they received 100000 Fuller's
lid would not be accepted, and that
when met with refusal they cut the
sum demanded down to 100000. Bur.
ton said that the councilmen were in.
formed by'Mr. Landstreet that unless
they voted for the Fuller bid he would
see that they went to the penitentiary
for attempted bribery.
Mr.. Burton said that 1t was a diff:
cult matter to get the Fuller bid of
$S,50o,oo0 through council, as all the
other four bids were higher, that of
the Reading railroad being from s2,-
100000 to 100000 higher.
Witness was asked why he had al.
lowed several months to pass after
the purchase of the Western Maryland
and its consolidation with the West
Virginia Central. to which Burton re-
piled that It was because both realized
that Senator Ellsins was a, wealthy
man and OF considerable influence, and
that 1T would have cost too much to
have fought the case.
