Jesus D. Martinez, Jose Ruiz and Es- teban Quintena, were detained at the instance of United states Attorney Al eNander as witnesses in the case against the mining company. These arrests were made on July 80 of last year. and they have been in Jail ever since and have never been called upon to testify in any action. nor have they received any compensation for the loss of their time and the privations they have undergone. It is also represent ed that all of these men have fami- lies in Mexico who are in need of their support.
 It is stated in the petition that they have frequently sent word to the United States attorney to call and in- terview them in regard to their de- tention but all their appeals and peti- tions have been disregarded. It is further charged that the United States attorney has ordered that the prison CTS should be kept incommunicado: that the immigration officers and the guards having charge of them have been instructed to allow no one to in- terVie" th- prisoners, nor to allow counsel to them and advise them as to their rights l. is stated that BUstamente appeared before the inn migration commissioner for the pur- pose of getting permission to inter- view the prisoners or to be allowed to communicate with them. but he was informed that the United States attor- ney had advised that no one was to Communicate with them for any puF- pose.

ITCHING CURED
With Cuticura Remedies in Three Days After Six
 Months of Suffering.

q suffered fully six months. The trouble began on my arms in little red pimples and it was not long before it was all over my body, limbs, face, and hands. It was so bad that l could not rest night or day and during the six months, did not get good nights sleep. l doctored for three or four months and spent at least twenty dol lars trying to find a cure but none could be found. Then I saw the Cuticura Remedies advertised, and the next day l purchased some for seventy-fve cents at the druggists. I used them and 1 was relieved of the itching in three days, and 1 have never had a sign of any skin disease since. The Cuticura Remedies are the only remedies to use for skin diseases, they have cured me and they will cure others in the same way. J. W. Bloom. R. R.

for some time past, for all county Of

farmer in Stark county should inter-
est himself in.
There are various candidates seek
ing the Office and | understand there
are three to be nominated, and look
ing over the field, see that George
G. Brissel will again be a candidate
for this Office. / did not vote for him
in 1906, for I did not understand his
idea on the good road question.
Some time ago a communication
from him through your paper gave me
the necessary light upon the subject,
now that the county road fund Is
s2S,620 is sufficient proof TO me that
Mr.. Brissel knew what he was talk
ing about and I believe he is well
qualified and acquainted with the du-
ties of this Office and intend voting
for him this time and do what can
for his candidacy. Every farmer
should assist and support him, and
find quite sentiment In my neigh
borhood for him, who are familiar and
are well satisfied that he was an ef-
ficient official during the period he
filled the office OF township trustee,
and his stand on the good road ques-
tion for this is practically the only
benefit the farmer will receive for all
the taxes paid by him.
