Jail Prisoner Dies.

The Fayette county Jail. the center
of SO much interest of various kinds,
was the scene on Monday night of the
last act in tragedy when Reid Wal
lace passed away as prisoner within
its walls. Wallace had been put in
Jail Saturday for a tifteen-day term
for drunkenness from Oelwein. The
day after his arrival he was taken
i'll and required the attention of a
physician. He appeared to be getting
better on Monday, and no alarm was
felt over his case. Along in the eve-
ming the other prisoners noticed that
he was uneasy and frequently getting
up and down. He appeared to be in
considerable pain. but finally went to
his bed and became suddenly quiet.
Some of the other prisoners at once
jumped at the conclusion that he had
died, and on investigating found that
to be the case. His death occurred at
a quarter of an hour before mid
night.

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching. Burning Skin Disease Routed
without Use Of Injurious Drugs.

Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets of
their discoveries. Practically the same
thing happened in the medical world
in the case of DIR. Decatur ID. Dennis,
the eminent skin specialist of Chicago.
DR.. Dennis. in his own office prac-
tice, discovered that pure vegetable
oil of wintergreen. proDerly mixed
with other simple remedies was prac-
tically a sure specific for eczema,
psoriasis, BARRIERS itch, salt rheum.
and other itching skin diseases. But
the oil of wintergreen alone was
found ineffective. It required other
mild ingredients such as glycerine
and thymol compounded with the
wintergreen. to produce the real &C.
zema cure.
This compounded ID. ID. ID. Pre-
scription positively takes away the
itch at once-the instant it is applied
to the skin. This vegetable liquid does
away with deleterious drugs so long
used in an attempt to doctor the
blood, whereas modern science has de-
termined that eczema is first and all
the time skin disease.

the merits OF ID. ID ID. Prescription,

remedy. Brunt q Parman, DEBORAH,

An application for a patent on a
new lamp is ON file in Washington,
which it is claimed will put the pres
emit electric lamps out of commits
sion. Commenting the Keokuk Gate
City says: 1t is so much better than
the ordinary electric light that there
is no room for comparing the two,
and is simplicity itself. 1t consists
merely of drop of mercury inside
the bulb where the carbon filament is.
When the light is turned ON the car
bon filament brightens up as usual,
but the heat changes the mercury into
vapor, which becomes incandescent,
and the result is bulb glowing
white. Unlike the mercury vapor"
electric light which has recently come
into considerable use. and which is
recognized by its peculiar greenish
color, the new lamp gives clear
white light.
But the best of the invention is it's
vast cheapening of electric light bills.
The ordinary commercial electric
light is a sixteen-candlepower affair.
1t requires three and tenth watts to
run each candlepower. That is the
minimum. Often more is used. The
new light is just little FOUR candle
power incandescent bulb in the be-
ginning. But the vaporized mercury
when it become incandescent gives
out twenty-five candlepower and it
has been found by measurement that
only two and a half watts are re-
quired per candlepower. This in it
self would reduce the electric light
bill by almost third, without men,
tioning the vastly better light pro-
duced.
