him to a doctor and tried half dozen
other treatments, all with the same
result: no improvement at all. The
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed. for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimental
doctor, q very clever man, pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, he said the
only hope was that he might, II he
lived long enough, outgrow it to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one OF
the worst cases, if not the worst. ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked SO
badly that no one liked to go near him
and his life was a burden to him. We
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
we had got almost past hoping for q
cure. Six months ago we purchased
a set Of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvellous
and to-day he is perfectly cured, bis skin
not having a blemish on it anywhere.

TEACHERS MET AT HOPE.
South Dickinson Gave Educators a
Hearty Welcome.

The Dickinson County Teachers
Association met at Hope last Satur'
day in the high school building MISS
snider of the primary department at
Hope called the meeting to order at
2;SO. After devotional EXERCISES by
Rev. Mr.. Garlic, Prof. Warder OF the
Hope schools spoke on the subject
Language in the lower grades"
DIR. j. G. Entz Of Hope, showed the
danger in the common drinking cup
not only IN schools and on trains and
such places but even In the home
He showed that the individual cup
would cost little and declared that 1t
would materially aid in stamping out
tuberculosis and in preventing other
infectious diseases as well as lessen
ing danger Of cOntSgion.
Mr.. Zumwalt OF Herington. thought
teacher ought to have the good Will
and confidence Of his pupils In order
to secure good government he cited
one of his own experiences as proof
Of the fact that the teacher must not
descend to the position Of spy. And
in case Of punishment he advocated
the stand that the teacher administer
IL as an official matter and afterwards
act and work as II it were entirely
forgotten.
Miss Picking OF Abilene spoke con-
corning outlines saying that they
were CT use both to teacher and pupil
helping fix in the memory general
view OF the matter. To this Mr..
zumwalt opposed the likelihood oil
dividing q subject on another than q
natural basis.
supt. McAllister Of Herington re-
lated in an extremely entertaining
manner how the campaign to bring
the central ASSOCIATION to Harrington
in 1909 was wsged to a successful
close.
He presented bill for 1910 which
~ rootion WAS allowed.
The Hope high school students
we're ably represented BY Miss Nc
Laren in q recitation and Miss Meull

pleasing to the association.

TRIALS OF A MOToRIsT.
Earl STILES Outing Was a Frosty
One.

Earl Stillie, the accommodating
chauffeur OF the Union Auto Co., has
wanted an outing. He thought ne
needed a trip for his health SO when
he had a chance to deliver j. w.
Asling's Rambling touring car at
Denver he was happy He and Mr.
Asling started last Tuesday morning
and had a delightful trip nearly TO
Oakley. Then a Western Kansas
blizzard commenced and the farther
they went the worse it got Thurs
day night they we're pushing along
through the storm miles from any
where or anybody when they got on
the road and went plump into a Dig
mudhole. The car settled down TO
the running board and the engine
gave a despairing gasp and died.
The two men pulled the curtains
tight and went to bed-there was
nothing else to do. In the morning
they found the wheels frozen fast in
the ice and mud. They cut them
out, finally extricated the car and
headed it homeward. Mr.. ASKING
went on to Denver by train and Earl
ran the car home, arriving yesterday
with the machine looking as though
it had been on a New Yord-Paris tour.
Earl says anybody who wants to tour
across country in December can have
his chance at it-he will wait until
summer.

extinguished the fire in short time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown were not at

thinking the house in danger emPtied
the lower floors of furniture Of every

tion about the wholesale jerking OF

LANDED AT LINCOLN.
Big Meteor Struck in the Street OF
Town.


According to a message received
from Lincoln the meteor which 80
many Abilene people saw fall through
the sky Sunday evening about D
struck In the street Of Lincoln burst
in a million pieces, not more than
two blocks from the center OF the
town.
The meteor, it is said, was entirely
spent by the time it struck the EARTH
1t came down through the air with o
thunderous noise and Illuminated the
county for miles around. The sound
was not increased as it struck the
ground and it left no impression
which shows that it was completely
burned up and was very light
A small mound Of black dust shows
distinctly where the meteor fell and
around 1t is the larger pieces, none
larger than common marble. Re
ports from Lincoln say that IL re-
semi les the SCOT which comes out OF
stove when cleaning it. The pieces
however, are not quite as light as
common SCOT, being more Of a gritty
substance, but is coal black. What
Lincoln thinks 10 meteoric dust may
be merely a hodiul Of ashes out Of
somebody's furnace.
