BABY'S ITCHING
BURNING ECZEMA
Almost Drove Him into Commissions
His Head and Face a Mass of
terrible Humor Suffering was
Oreadful-Is Permanently Cured.
DOCTOR PRESCRIBED
CUTICURA REMEDIES

When my son was only about a year
old eczema began to break out on his
face. 1t kept getting worse and we
called in a doctor whose medicine cnly
seemed to make it worse, until his head
and face were a solid, raw sore. 1t was
awful. He suffered dreadfully, and
screamed until we thought he would 90
into convulsions, it would itch and burn
so. We became so dissatisfied that we
called in another doctor. He pre-
scribed the Cuticura Remedies. The
baby commenced to get better right
away, although by this time the disease
had a good start. l don't think we
used more than three bottles of the
Cuticura Resolvent, together with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
1t was perhaps several months before
all traces of the eczema were gone, the
last being behind the ears, but the
Cuticura Remedies cured him COM
pletely, and he had the prettiest head of
curly hair grow after his head COM
menced to get better. He is now not
quite twenty-four, and he has been
cured permanently.
My face is very tender and Cuticura
Soap is about the only soap can use
without irritating the skin. Mrs. L. A.
Fox, 1879 So. Washington Ave-, Denver,

ALMOST FROST
 THIS MORNING

Bringing the temperature almost to the frost point and making fires and overcoats comfortable, the first cold wave of the season swept over the state yesterday, striking Conway about noon. At that hour the thermometer was around the seventies, and it fell over twen- ty degrees before night, the mer- cury continuing to descend until early this morning when temper ature of 43 was recorded. This is dangerously near the frost point, as frost is often formed here at 40 degrees. The cold wave was at tended by heavy rainfall Sunday afternoon, amounting to I 60 inch es. Fair and warmer weather is predicted for tonight and tomor- row.

Next Saturday the penitentiary officials will be free from Yates Standridge, the murderer who has been in solitary confinement at the penitentiary for month, for safe keeping. Standridge will then be taken to Jasper for trial for a dou ble murder, but attorneys in the case assure the penitentiary offic- ials that they will soon have the desperate criminal back on their hands, as he will not be hanged for the crimes he has committed, a compromise ill the way of guilty to murder in the second degree and IS years in the penitentiary as sentence, being expected. Stand ridge is the most desperate man ever in the penitentiary walls. He was originally sent to the peni- tentiary for assault with intent to kill, but escaped from the rock crusher, made his way back to Newton county and killed a man and woman by the name of Over turf, before being recaptured. He has since been in solitary confne- ment ill the penitentiary, but twice came near digging out of his cell. He had brick in sack to use in fighting his way to liberty, had he gained the corridor of the old penitentiary building. Stand ridge, soon after his arrest for the double murder, attempted suicide by trying to shove into his neck the razor with which a convict was shaving him.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY
.%t++++++t+++++++++++++++'

Little Rock, Sept 2S-Both branches of the circuit court opened this morning and the First division, where all criminal mat ters are tried, starts off with a rush.
 Judge R J Lea just before noon charged the grand jury, which will not have any poodle cases to look after, but will pass upon two of the biggest murder cases ever coming ill one term of court here. These are the cases of Charles R. Parsel, who shot and killed Leon s. Ehrenberg, his former business partner several weeks ago, and w. l.. Greer, who last week stabbed to death J. w. Reneau, an Iron Mountain brakeman. Judge Lea will this afternoon take up the habeas corpus proceedings by which Lewis Rhoten, attorney for Greer, hopes to get him admitted to bail. On account of the prom thence of Parsel and Ehrenberg, this case will be contested on ev- cry point. Greer, who was col lector of bad debts, and killed Reneau over an old account, has the backing of the majority of the Little Rock business men, and if Judge Lea decides to allow him bond, he will have no trouble ill making it, no matter how great the amount. With Senator Davis assisting in the prosecution of Greer, and Lewis Rhoton defend ing him, lively times in the court are promised.

All devices and schemes resorted to by the police of Little Rock to keep tab on those who should pay license to the city, fail nine months of the year and the city is beaten out of much revenue, but on circus day the police always recover con siderable of the lost ground. This brings out the many carriages up on which no license has been paid, and Saturday was no exception to the rule, three cab drivers being hauled to the city jail to pay fines this morning, while eight people who were running restaurants without license, were caught at the same time, and paid s. each in the police court this morning.
