"My husband had been a great suf-
ferer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen
years. At first 1t was In his bones, but
after while IL was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had 10
endure night and day. He used every
kind Of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever So
one day l happened to read about
Outioura Remedies. ! asked him Il
he would not try them. No., said he,
it's no use, I've spent enough money
now The next day / ordered Eve
dollars worth Of Cutioura Soap, Cuti-
oura Ointment, and Cutioura Resolvent.
He began to use them without conf
denoe but after three weeks all the
sores were dried up. The burning
FIRE stopped, and the pains became
bearable. After three months he was
cutie we'll. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and bad taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
Il cured him. Two years ago used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
did me a great deal Of good and made
me well. Three months since had painB

The aerodrome white Wing" made

to q height Of about ten feet The
pressure of the air on the elastic rear

Little Rock, Ark, May 19.-The spe-
cial session Of the Arkansas legisla-
ture was extingulshed Monday after
noon when both houses adjourned
sine die and the senators and repre-
sentatives were Instructed to 90 home.
Much enthusiasm marked the closing
scenes Of the session, cheer after
cheer arising from both chambers dur
ing the hot discussion that was In
dulged in on matters pending before
the session. There was not q quorum
present in either house and It was the
almost unanimous sentiment that the
calling together Of the body was un-
warranted.

DYNAMITE IN CLEVELAND
STREET CAR LOADED WITH PAS
sENoERs BLOWN UP.


Cleveland, O., May ia Broadway
street car was partially destroyed by
q dynamite torpedo Monday night.
While rs passengers were in the car,
no one was seriously hurt. A panic
followed and q mad rush for the exits
was made.
A West Madison street car also was
damaged by an explosion Of powder on
the track. The floor Of the car was
broken through and one woman was
severely injured.
Trivial rioting, deadlock In arbf
tration proposals, car service largely
restored and the refusal Of the trac-
ton authorities to do anything until
disorder and violence ceases, marked
the third day of the strike Of the con-
ductors and motormen on the Mu-
niclpal Street Railway company's
lines.
The company succeeded In operat-
Ing all lines with but slightly i'm
paired service, considering the diff
culties. While no special effort was
made to send cars into the suburbs,
yet In the city proper cars were run
on a grand average schedule Of nine
minutes. This is but four minutes be-
low normal.
There was a marked decrease In the
severity Of the violence reported until
Monday nights explosions. In several
instances car windows were broken by
stones, cars were stopped and non
union crews were assaulted.

JUDGE DENIES CONTINUANCE IN
sAPP MURDER CASE At
lola, KANSAS.
SUICIDE THEORY OFFERED
WhitIcw's Attorneys VIII Try to Show
That Girl Killed Herself Be-
cause Of Unrequlted

lola, Kan, May 19.-The case Of the
state against Samuel +. Whitlow,
charged with the murder Of Caroline
May Sapp at her home in Moran the
night Of September 81. 1907, by cutting
her throat with a razor, was called for
trial In district court Monday morn
ing The defense at once filed a mo-
ton for a continuance Of the trial on
the ground Of the absence OF import
ant witnesses without whom Whitlow
did not desire to go to trial. Whit
low lawyers said that Mrs, Matte ia
cobs, an important witness for the de-
tense, IS Ill OF her home in Moran and
that her attending physician had re-
fused to permit them to take her depo-
sition, which had been agreed upon.
They said she would testify that she
knew both May Sapp and her mother,
Rebecca Sapp. She had often met
Mrs. Sapp in the store and had sew
eral conversations with her. She
would swear, they said, that when Mr..
Sapp concluded to retire and leave the
farm that Mrs. Sapp wished to move
to Bronson and that Mr.. Sapp pre-
ferred to move to Fort Scott, but that
May overruled them both and finally
persuaded them to move to Moran.
The defense will present the theory
that Miss Sapp committed suicide be-
cause of unrequited love for Whitlow
and that he was a witness to the deed.
The defendant says that for over two
years Miss Sapp pleaded with him to
leave his family and run away with
her. Whitlow was for number Of
years a teacher In the school in which
Miss Sapp was a scholar
The defense asserts that May Sapp
wanted to move to Moran because
Whitlow lived there and that this is
proof of his own statement that she
was In live with him.
The state resisted the application
for a continuance and declared that
the defense had not used SUFFICIENT dill
III 5CIllh6 It's WAIAOooVps OuNoO
Foust, in passing on the motion, called
attention to the fact that all these
facts we're known when the case was
first called, May 70, and that the de-
tense had announced itself ready for
trial, and 100 jurors and 100 witnesses
were now in court ready for the case.
He therefore overruled the motion for
a continuance and asked the lawyers
to proceed with the case. The defense
filed another motion asking for COM
mission to take the testimony of Mrs.
Jacobs, and this the court also refused.
There are 100 extra jurors. Among
them happened to be ]. A, Whitlow, a
brother of the defendant, but he was
excused when his name was called.
The lawyers expect that 1t will re-
quire at least two days to select a jury,
owing to the wide publicity given the
case and the comment which has been
INDUCED In over the county.

A CURRENCY CONFERENCE
SENATE AND HOUSE coNFEREEs
TO MEET DAILY.
Financial Legislation viii Probably
Not Be Settled Until Last
Day Of Session.

Washington, May 1S.-Conferees on
the currency bill met Monday and the
probability is that daily session will
be held for the next several days. In
fact 1t is not thought the question Of
financial legislation will be settled un
til few hours before Anal adjourn
ment. The differences between the
senate and the house are many. This
senate regards the provision Of the
house for the formation of clearing
house districts and the issuance Of
National bank notes on commercial
paper guaranteed by the clearing
house associations to be a species OF
asset currency 1t is said that Sen
ator Aldrich and his fellow managers
of the conference on the part of the
senate are not unalterably opposed
to the plan Of the house bill II 1t can
be safeguarded SO as to remove the
asset currency feature. Therefore, 1t
is possible that the conferees will
work out something that may be &C
ceptable to both branches Of congress-
The conferees on the part of the SEN
ate are Messrs. Aldrich, Allison, Hale,
Daniel and Teller; on the part OF the
house, Messrs. Vreeland, New York;
Burton, Ohio; Weeks, Massachusetts,;
Pujo, Louisiana, and Glass, Virginia.
All of these legislators including the
four Democrats are in favor Of the
passage Of some sort Of emergency
currency legislation at the present
session.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Committee to Recommend That Ten
New Bishops Be Elected.


Baltimore, May 19.-It was reported
Monday night on what seems excellent
authority that the report Of the COM
mittee on the Episcopacy which will
be presented to the Methodist Epis-
copal general conference will be in
the nature Of a surprise, In that 1t will
recommend the election Of ten bish-
ops. Hitherto 1t has been generally
believed that the number elected
would be eight.
Second only in interest to the cleo
ton Of bishops, is the final action on
the paragraph Of the church discipline
relating to amusements, touching
which the address Of the bishops
recommended the excislon of dancing,
card playing and certain other words,
from the paragraph. BY q decisive
vote the committee on the state Of
the church, to which the matter was
referred Monday decided to recon-
mend to the conference that the para
graph on amusements remain as 1t
now stands, and thus negatived the
recommendation of the bishops. The
vote In committee was nearly 3 to
against making any change.
