BLACK, ITCHING \
 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 Allayed and
DREADFUL DISEASE
 CURED BY CUTlCURA

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

AT THE LOCAL THEATERS
POLPs THEATER.

Next week the Poli Opera company will present another delightful opera comique by Edmond Audran, when his "oliyette" will be presented, with all of the favorltes of the present offering retained in the cast. Like "The Mas cot" "Olivette" contains the two ele- ments of success necessary to musical offerings brilliant comedy and charm ing music. In the latter respect "Oli- vette" even outdoes its sister opera, for the score of next weeks selection contains larger number of individual musical gems that have become gener- ally familiar to musical devotees, more of the catchy, popular variety, and more tuneful in general. "Olivette" easily stands cs the masterpiece of Au- dran's charming compositions in light opera.
 Of the popular members of the Poh organization to remain for next weeks cast are Bertha Davis, to appear in the title role of the vivacious Olivette, with as many opportunities for her sweet voice and winning personality as any role she has assumed during the entire opera series; James McElhern in the laughable role of Coquiclicot, droll character that has always been a fla vorite of his repertoire; William Schuster as the brusque old Captain de Merrimac; Horace Wright in the tenor role of Valentine; Florence Roth CT as the countess, and Edwin W. Lew lis as Maryejol.
 All of these artists have played the same roles in "Olivette" with marked success before with other operatic or ganizations, and this opera was select ed for presentation principally for the reason that it is so well suited to the Poli company's present personnel indi- vidually. The powerful chorus, as usual, will continue to be pleasing feature in "Olivette,' in attractive costumes and with all the opportunity that could . be desired for their vocal and terpsi- ohorean ability,

 this line to events in Colorado and Occur D'Alenes connected with the case as now established.
 Ed Boyce was the principal witness of the day and his testimony was chief ly devoted to the history and work of the Western Federation. He denied the existence of an Timer circle" or that there had ever been a conspiracy in the organization to do an illegal act. The chief importance of Boyce's cross ex- animation was the production of a speech by him at the convention of the federation at Salt Lake in 1898, in which he said that every union should have a rifle club and every member a rife, so that the federation could march 25,OOO armed men in the ranks of labor.
 MT Boyce would not agree with the accuracy of the quotation but saying that the sentiment was correct, de- clared with spirit that when he spoke the words imputed to him he had in mind the misconduct of state troops in Colorado the use of troops elsewhere against the federation and the consti- tutional right of all citizens to bear arms which was as much the right of the miner as the aristrocrat.
 William Easterly, one of the most im- portant witnesses in the case was call- ed just before adjournment and his testimony will be continued tomorrow. He occupied the witness chair long enough, however, to deny directly the statements of Orchard, charging him with criminal misconduct in Colorado. He denied that he had ever discussed the Vindicator or any other plot with Orchard, CT that he had helped Or chard In experiments for the device that blew up the vindicator mine and denied that he and Orchard had dis cussed the Vindlcator matter or any subject with Mover and Haywood at Federation headquarters in Denver.

BLOW AT HE STATE.

Loving at the time of the tragedy. Judge Barksdale in lengthy opinion to-day sustained the contention of the defense, and among the cases cited as authority was the famous Thaw trial in New York. After the opinion of Judge Barksdale had been rendered the prosecution began the examination of g number of witnesses in rebuttal of the evidence introduced by the defense that Loving was insane at the time of the shooting, During the morning sev- en witnesses were examined. Most of i these reside in Amherst and Nelson counties and have known Judge Loving for many years. The tendency of thesS testimony was that they had never heard the insanity of Judge Loving discussed before this trial and they had always regarded him as a sane man, with mind superior to the ordi- nary. Several further declared that the defendant was a high tempered man and never tolerated the opinions or &C., tions of those who opposed him. It was also testified that Judge Loving was an excellent hunter, a good shot, had served with honor as judge and had charge of large estates.
 Recess was taken from 12 o'clock un- | til o'clock to give the prosecution time to prepare a hypothetical ques- ton to propound to an expert of i'm sanity-Dr. J. s. Dejarnette, superin- tendent of the Western State hospital i at staunton. This question was similar to the one asked Dr. Emmons of Wash ington yesterday by the defense. It re- viewed the life and experiences of Judge Loving, his marriage, separation from his wife, his struggle against Inc whiskey habit, his trip to an institution for the cure of that habit, the account of the story told him by his daughter, the killing of young Estes, and his ap- pearance and actions after the commits sion of the crime. There were some Ivarlations in the two questions, the de- fense taking more serious view of his appearance after the shooting. In reply to the question, What effect dc you think such experiences would have on the mind of this man" the witness replied:
 q think he would be very angry from the provocation that he thought his daughter had been ruined by the youn9 man referred to, but not insane.
 Dr. Dejarnette testified that during his connection with the Western State hospital he had under his care 4,50t patients suffering from diseases of the
 brain, He was closely examined by counsel for both sides. MT. Lee for the defense touched on numerous diseases their cause and effects. Dr. DeJarnettt testified as to the effect of acute alec. hoism on the brain, the effect of in. sanity on the different nerves and tis. sues. the temporary and permanent re. suits from delirium tremens, the effect of stress and strain on the mind, how sudden joy, excitement, horror, dlsap- pointment, grief, etc, could affect the I mental faculties, Most of his testi, lmony, as well as the questions asked ! him, were of a technical nature, Wher I Dr. Dejarnette left the stand, Attorney Wood Bouldin for the prosecution an nounced, We rest our case"
 The attorneys for both sides tonight held conference to prepare instruc- tions to be submitted to the court to- morrow.
