New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Over Night.
A few months ago the dispensers Of
poslam, the new discovery for the cure
OF eczema. decided to allow the drug
gists of the country to handle it. Pre-
v1ous to that time it could only be
obtained direct from the laboratories.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success Of anything
introduced to the drug trade in the
last 80 years. All leading druggists.
including Fred A. Snow. In Topeka
are now carrying the special 5o-cent
size recently adopted, also the 81 Jar.
The great success Is not surprising
when it Is remembered that. in eczema
cases, poslam stops the itching with
first application. proceeds to heal i'm
medfately. and cures chronic cases in
few weeks. In minor skin troubles.
such as pimples. blackheads. acne.
herpes. blotches, rash, ETC., results
show after an overnight application.

HELD UP SEVEN STAGES.
One Higlluayman Collected $4,000
From Yellowstone Tourists.

Butte Mont. Aug. 25.-One high
Nayman. wearing a black mask. held
up and robbed the passengers of seven
stage coaches in Yellowstone park at a
point only q few miles distant from
the Old Faithful Inn near the upper
basin, according to telephone advices
received. The coaches left the hotel
in the usual order. at intervals of a
few minutes. and were held up one at
ter the other az fast as they came in
sight.
The highwayman was stationed at a
bend in the road. while he was invisi-
BILE from either direction. At the point
of a rifle he lined up the passengers
and after relieving them of money and
valuables. allowed them to enter the
stage and resume their journey. This
performance the bandit enacted seven
times. 1t is understood from the meag-
err report of the affair received here
that he collected in all more than So
900. The fact that tourists in the park
are not permitted to carry weapons
made it impossible for any of the pas
sengers or drivers to offer resistance.
The robber was a ma nabout So years
old. weighing about 140 pounds.
After holding up the last coach he
disappeared into the hills and it was af-
terward found he had made his es-
cape on horse belonging to the trans
portation company. All haste was
made back to Old Faithful Inn and
the ride in the six-horse coach at full
speed to give the alarm was not the
least exciting of the days incidents.
The soldiers encamped at the
Thumb Station were imme diately sent
out. and a messenger was dispatched
to the camp on the west of Gallatin
river at the west boundary of the park
The soldiers from Fort Yellowstone
were on the road to take up the trail
within ten minutes after the news was
received.

month ago. Arthur D. Adams a book
binder in the government building of
engraving and printing. formerly of
Salt Lake City, who is believed to be
prominently connected, has taken his
own life here. While gradually losing
consciousness, he attempted to de-
scribe the effects of the poisonous
fumes of Illuminating gas.
Closing all the windows of his room
Adams turned on the three gas Jets.
His landlady detected the odor of es-
Gaping gas but when the door of Ad-
ans room was burst open it was too
late to save his life.
He was found lying on his bed with
pencil gripped tightly in his hand and
the following unfinished note scrubbed
on a pad which he held in his other
hand:
Il am sinking lower and lower from
the effects of asphyxiation My head
is bursting.
The room is dancing before my eyes
Good God, what a sensation. 1 am
being lifted. The light. My God. The
light Her I am going--.
On a table were found three unad-
dressed notes. one of which requested
that A. NJ. Thomas. postmaster at Salt
Lake City, and former governor of
Utah, be notified of his death Adams
also in another note left all his be-
longings to his sister. Miss Anne Ad-
ans of Salt Lake City. In another
note he asked that his body be buried
in the family lot where that of his
wiee now lies. Adams has been mo-
rose ever since the death of his wife
August 3. in Salt Lake City. He came
from that city several years ago.

DEMOCRATS FILlsusTERiNe VET.
Session Of House one 81 storniest il
Its History.


Washington, April 8. Today's SEES
sion Of the house was one Of the
stormiest in its history. The sum to-
tai Of the days proceedings was the
adoption of several additional rules to
further check the democratic filibus-
ter and the passage Of the two resolu-
tions introduced by Speaker Cannon
calling on the department Of Justice
and the department Of commerce and
labor for certain information regarding
the so-called paper trust.
There were nine roll calls during
the day, five Of them on the new
rules. The democrats exhausted their
resources before they were made to
feel that the republicans by sheer
force Of numbers had them beaten at
every point.
The democrats were again charged
with making the special rules neces.
sary by reason Of their filibustering
while the democrats reasserted that
they at least were causing the major
ity to enact legislation.
At 5 o'clock the house took a recess

JUDGE REYNOLDS
TALK PATRIOTIC
DEFINES FREEDOM AND HON
oRs STARS AND STRIPES.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Judge Frank B. Reynolds delivered
a very interesting lecture at the Y
M. G. "A. assembly hall last night to q
fair sized audience. Mr.. Reynolds is
a captivating speaker, holding the
c.ose attention Of his hearers during
the entire lecture.
III the course of his address the
speaker spoke Of freedom, what 1t
really is and what 1t means. By the
term freedom he did not mean that q
person could do as he desired with,
out regard to others, but instead one
is allowed to do as he wished provid-
ed he did not injure others. He de-
fined 1t as the protection of life and
property. just trial at court, honest
accumulation OF riches, and the free
dom Of speech. He said 1t was these
advantages Of the American people
that made the nation what It Is today.
Mr.. Reynolds said: The stars and
stripes Is the most, beautiful flag that
was ever unfurled to the breeze. OF
all emb!ems It Is the grandest. In
battle It, may he riddled with bullets,
It may be shot down. but there are
ever ready arms to restore 1t to posi-
tion. Twice 1t withstood the onslaught
Of England, and each time 1t was vic
torious. It has gone through the
ordeal Of civil dissensions and has
come forth with its stars brighter
than ever. It has engageu the
throne Of CASTLE IN combat on land
and sea and It's supremacy was main
tanned. AS long as It stands for free.
dom and for q government In which
every man Is king, It will be entitled
to receive our love and alteration"
