LITTLE BABY CURED 0F ECZEMA
Parents Applied to Hospitals and Doctors but Could Get No Re. Iief-GrewWOrSe Under Doctors Prescription = Friends ReCome mended Cuticura Result
A SPEEDY AND
 PERMANENT CURE

"We express to you herewith our best thanks for the cure of our baby from eczema. The eczema appeared when the child was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something differ ent every time, but nothing brought re- lief. A physician recommended a salye which we threw into the fire after two days use as the eczema became worse SO that the baby scratched bis face. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. A few days afterwards improve ment could be noted. Since then VIC have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured.
 All that we used was one cake of Cuti- cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura 0int- ment, costing in all SIPS. Even the poorest man can pay that instead of throwing it into the doctors lap. 1 myself only make twelve dollars week as 8 teamster but l recommend the Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth- CTS whose children suffer from such dis eases. They are cheap, harmless and good. c. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 80, l9O6."

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

Ruef Secures Bonds.

San Francisco.-Abraham Ruef was
released from Jail Monday night on
bonds aggregating $1,5GO, 900, the larg-
est amount ever given in a criminal
case in this state. This sum is the ag-
gregate bail upon seventy.eight indict-
ments returned by the Oliver grand
jury, charging Ruef with bribing the
former board of supervisors in con.
nection with the granting of fran
chises to public corporations and upon
which he was arrested March s, 1907.
Twenty sureties, including Ruefs
father. sister and himself, signed the
bonds. Ruef's trial has been set for
July 18th.
1t developed during the examination
OF his sureties that Ruef owned real
estate in this city which he recently
transferred to his father and sister,
upon which real estate expert on the
witness stand placed value of ST.

this property was $4,000.

VERDICT OF CORoNER'S JURY AT
GREELEY IN BAlNBRIDGE
INQUEST.
CHARGE OF MURDER
TESTIMONY OF YOUNG WIFE
WHOSE HUSBAND KILLED
HER FATHER.

Denver.-A Greeley special of the
Denver Republican says:
The verdict of the coroner's jury in
the inquest over the body of George
Bainbridge was that he came to his
death by gunshot wound, the gun be-
ing in the hands of Calvin Phillips,
the shooting ON the ranch of ]. B. Ly-
can, and the jury further found the act
to be felonious.
Jesse Thatcher, the brother-in-law of
the dead man, recovered sufficiently
from the blow on the head, said to
have been inflicted by Phillips, to be
able to appear at the inquest as wit
ness. Phillips mother, Mrs. White,
the young wife, and Jeff cambridge,
her brother were all on the stand and
said they were eye witnesses of the
tragedy.
The testimony of all was about the
same, except that Mrs. White said that
Young cambridge stood at the window
Just before her son fired the fatal shot,
that the father-in-law attempted to kill
Fhillps with hoe and that her son
shot to defend himself
1t was also brought out in the evil
dence that cambridge was alleged to
have said that he was going to his SON.
in-law's house to clean them out
The testimony of young Mrs. Phil
lips was touching. She acknowledged
that she wrote a letter to her sister
last week saying that she (Mrs. Phil
lips) was unhappy, but said today that
her unhappiness was because of her
mother-in-law and not on account of
her husband, who treated her kindly
and whom she loved. Mrs. Phillips
said that the first shot fired during the
quarrel was fired by her. She said she
saw her husband was about to aim at
her father and she pulled the trigger
and sent the shot into the floor.
She then ran outside to her father,
and it is alleged by witnesses that
while she stood with her hands on her
fathers shoulders Phillips fired
through the window and killed Balm
bridge.
Phillips mother was not agitated
while giving her testimony. She said
it was she who went after the Platte
vile officer to make the arrest
From the evidence of all the wit
nesses 1t appears that the gun taken
by the old man to Phillips house was
not loaded.
The widow of the murdered man is
prostrated over the affair and it is
reared she may not recover. She did
not appear as witness. not being able
to leave her bed. She and her daugh-
ter have been estranged since her
daughters marriage against the
wishes of her parents two months ago.
Mrs. Phillips brother tried to per-
suade young Mrs. Phillips not to re-
turn to the ranch, but to go home with
them TO her mother, who was anxious
to see her. She insisted, however. and
accompanied her mother-in-law home,
saying that there would be no trouble
between them. Phillips, who is in Jail
here. has said nothing whatever con-
cerning the tragedy.

large majority of Pennsylvanians

Stick to the Job.

1t is the man who can stick to the
,disagreeable job, do it with energy
and vim, the man who can force him
iself to do good work when he does not
feel like doing tin other words, the
man who is master of himself, who
has great purpose, and who holds
himself to his aim, whether it is agree
able or disagreeable, whether he feels
like it or does not feel like it-that
wins. 1t is easy to do what is agree
able, to keep at the thing we like and
are enthusiastic about; but. remarks
the New York Weekly, it takes real
grit to try to put our whole soul into
that which is distasteful and against
which our nature protests, but which
wo are compelled to do for the sake
iof others who would suffer If we did
not do it.

NOTES OF The
CONVENTION
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN BELL
ESCAPES FROM FLOODED
ZONE AT LINCOLN,
BRYAN STILL LEADS
DEMOCRATS GATHERED AT DEN
YER READY TO UNITE IN HIS
NOMINATION,

Denver.-Temporary Chairman Theo-
dore A. Bell made a spectacular exit
from the flooded zone of Lincoln Mon
day afternoon in order to be here at
his post at noon Tuesday, when the
convention opens.
Mr.. Bell went to Lincoln from Den
yer to consult with Mr.. Bryan over his
opening speech. When the great elec-
trical storm struck there he found he
was marooned and could not get back
to Denver in time.
The Rock Island railroad came to
Mr.. Bells assistance in the nick of
time and at the special request of Mr..
Bryan. Following out the hurried
plans of officials of the road in Denver
and Lincoln, Mr.. Bell was started out
of Lincoln on handcar at 1925 o'clock
in the afternoon.
All the railroads running through
Lincoln were put out of business tenn
Iorarily by the immense quantities of
water that flooded the district. In
some of the stations in and around Lin
coin, the water was five feet deep over
the tracks.
The hand car travelled eight miles
over the flooded tracks to Rockeby.
In some places the water was three
and four feet deep and the man who
will hold the gavel in the opening ses-
sion of the convention had to stand on
box on the car to keep the water
from his feet.
1t at first was the intention of the
officials to get Mr.. Bell on the Kansas
City train at Belleville, which was one
hour late, but later it was found nee
essary to get out special train in or
der to get the chairman in Denver on
time.
Accordingly, special train of three
cars was made up and sent to Rockeby,
where Mr.. Bell and three newspaper
men boarded it at o'clock in the even
ing, expecting to arrive in Denver at
9 a. m. Tuesday.
Above the hubbub of the last siren
uous day before the Democratic ma
tional convention, these main develop
ments of the day stand out prom
inently:
The wave Of Bryan sentiment has
increased to apparently overwhelming
anu lITeSISllDle pIOpOTllOIl, anu tne
nomination of the Nebraskan seems
now assured beyond any reasonable
doubt unless some unlocked for re-
versal of present conditions occurs.
All efforts to unite on a vice presi-
Dental candidate have proved futile,
and the convention will begin its de-
liberations with the contest for second
place apparently wide open.
A majority of the Pennsy lvania dele
cation in caucus named Col. James NJ.
Guffey as national committeeman, in
open defiance of Bryan's demand for
his displacement.
The New York delegation appointed
committee of ten to draft platform
and named Judge Alton B. Parker, the
Democratic standard bearer of 1904, as
the New York representative on the
platform committee.

: One of the results of the recent pa
mic is the great increase in the number
of stockholders in the dividend paying
railroad and manufacturing compa-
MES. Investors with money in the
bank, attracted by the prospect Of
profitable returns, bought the stocks
at the low prices prevailing few
months ago. One well-known railroad
company has gained 5000 stockhold-
ers. and $1,000 more persons now hold
shares in big steel company than
held them last year. These are mere
ly examples. The new investors of
course knew that they were taking
risks in buying the stocks, risks which
no person who cannot afford to lose
his money has any business to take.
