breaking struggle for the premier aquatic

Uncertainty vies with uncertainty, and,
though Columbia is rated as the favorite

GREAT SKIN CURE STiRS EUROPE.
Medical Profession Interested in Ex-
ternal Wash Which Is Producing
Remarkable Results.

Instant relief and permanent cures
have so invariably followed the use of
an American prescription for the cure
of skin diseases that European doctors,
always jealous to lead in fields of medi-
quiries to the ingredients of this ex-
ternal vegetable remedy.
The makers of the prescription, the
d. D. D. Company of Chicago, are re-
plying frankly to such European maui
rfes that this Eczema remedy is simply
oil of wintergreen compounded with
other vegetable ingredients of known
healing power such as thymol and
glycerine.
Apparently no case of no matter how
long standing can stand against this
simple remedy, known as D. D. D. Pre-
scription. Here is a typical letter from
Mrs. e. Payne of East Pittsburg. Pa
II had horrible breaking out on my
| legs and feet, and tried nearly all medi-
| cines and salves without result The
| first bottle of D. D. D. helped me and
secured a complete cure. That was two
years ago and I have had no trouble
| SINCE
| We have investigated the merits of
| D. D. D. Prescription and believe if tc
be the best and quickest cure for skin
| diseases At any rate, we posftiyelv
know that it takes away the itch inst
as soon as you apply few drops of the
| soothing liquid. Call for free booklet
on care and nutrition of the skin and
| ask for cake of D. d. D. Soap.

MAY GET THE LAND.
Agricultural College Bill Is Reported
Favorably in House.

, Washington, March 10--A bill GER
I4ifying 1900 acres of public land to
the Kansas State Agricultural college
was reported to the house favorably
Monday by the committee on public
slands. The bill was introduced by
Representative Calderhead.
Under the act of 1862 Kansas re-
tcetved 10000 acres of public land. The
state selected land as follows: July
], 1853, 70,305.21 acres; November 8,
1864, 4,325.40 acres; November g.,
1864, 15,365.84 acres The first two
of these lists were approved by the
secretary of the interior, but that off,
ciaI held that the land included in the
third list had become double mini
mum by reason of the land grant to
the Leavenworth, Pawnee & Western
Railroad company. Therefore the state
was allowed only half the amount
claimed in the third section, 7,682.92
acres. The railroad was never built
and the land claimed by it was never
patented. The Calderhead bill would
transfer this area to Kansas for the
Agricultural college.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY.
Fifty-fourth Anniversary of Launching
of Atlantic Cable Project.

New York, March Holiday Is
notable in the history of submarine
telegraphy for although the fftieth an
niversary of the sending of the first
message under the Atlantic ocean does
not occur until August 1t of this year,
attention has been caleld by the ap-
preaching semicentennial to the fact
that it was Just 81 years ago today
that Cyrus W. Field, fired with en-
thusiasm for the seemingly impossible
project, induced the men afterward
associated with him, led by the veneer
able Peter Cooper, to promise the ma
teria1 support that made the cable
success. At the home of Mr.. Field, in
this city, on March 10, 1854, a con-
ference was held by Mr.. Field with
the prominent men he had induced to
listen to his story, the upshot of his
pleadings being that before the meet
ing adjourned he had induced all
present to sign an agreement to sup
port the Atlantic cable project. The
signers of the agreement, besides
Cyrus w. Field and Peter Cooper, were
David Dudley Field. Marshall o. Rob-
erts. Moses Taylor and Chandler
White. The last named died in 1855,
before the first cable was laid but
his place was at once taken by Wilson
G. Hunt. A historical painting mark
ing the date of the agreement, done by
Daniel Huntington, now hangs in the
chamber of commerce in this city.

AN UP TO DATE PAVEMENT.
Plans for Cement Cross Walks on
West Sixth Avenue.

If plans under contemplation by John
Rogers, city engineer, and Mayor VIM.
Green are followed out, West Sixth ave-
nue. when it is repaved with brick is
going to present a distinctively unique
appearance though at the same time
highly attractive.
Cement cross walks to be construct
ed at street intersections from curb to
curb is the plan suggested. When
streets are now paved no provision is
made for cross walks beyond the mere
pavement itself. It is proposed how
ever in the case of West Sixth avenue
to build cement cross walks three feet
wide which will be easier to keep clean
than the brick pavement. The only
question which enters in is that of dur
ability but it is believed that they will
Withstand the heavy traffic as well as
the pavement. The cost will not be any
more than the brick pavement which 1t
supplants. The appearance Of the street
will be greatly improved. 1t is said that
with the exception of Indianapolis no
other city has carried out the idea that
is embodied in this latest plan.
