him to a doctor and tried half dozen
other treatments, all with the same
result: no Improvement at all. The
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed, for
he used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep. The agony he went through
is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimenta!
doctor, a very clever man, pronounced
the case hopeless; at least, ne said the
only hope was that he might, If ne
lived long enough, outgrow 1t to some
extent. We had him in hospitals four
times and he was pronounced one OF
the worst cases, if not the worst, ever
admitted. From each he was dis
charged as incurable; in fact he got
worse under the successive treatments.
At one hospital they incased him in
plaster, and this seemed to aggravate
the soreness terribly. He looked SO
badly that no one liked to go near him
and his life was burden to him. we
kept trying remedy after remedy, but
we had got almost past hoping for q
cure. Six months ago We purchased
a set of Cuticura SOAP, Ointment, and
Resolvent Pills and persevered with
them. The result was truly marvelous
and to-day he is perfectly cured, his SKIN
not having blemish on it anywhere.

PASSENGER TRAIN CRASHES IN
70 FREIGHT NEAR LEnox,
MICH.
FIVE IRAINMlN MEET DEATH
BODIES TERRIBLY MANGLED AND
scALDED HY THE ESCAPING
STEAM.

E8tr0it. Mich, Dec. 20. Speeding
through d dense fog at forty miles an
hour, 4 Grand Trunk passenger train
cOlIided head-on with double-header
freight train half mile north Of Lee
ncx, Mich. Five trainmen met death,
four being killed instantly, the fifth
dying three hours later. All the pas
sengers escaped injury except a baby,
who was slightly hurt BY being thrown
out Of its mothers arms and over q
seat when the trains crashed.
The passenger locomotive plowed
under the engine Of the double-header
and the trainmen were buried In the
wreckage. Their bodies were terribly
mangled and scalded BY escaping
steam.
Engineer Fred Haug and Fireman
Washburn Of the second freight en-
CINE escaped death. Haug was caught
Ia his cab, but was taken out unhurt.
Washburn jumped and was only
slightly injured. All the dead train
men live In Detroit.
--'he freight train had switched from
the train to . siding to allow the pas
senger to pass. It is unofIicially charg-
"a that the switch was not property
closed, and on account Of the heavy
fog which prevailed the passenger
crew could not see that the target was
ret against them.

NEoRo SHOT 70 DEATH ~ MOB.

Murderer Of Constable 10 Forced From
Hiding Place BY Fire and Killed.
New York, Dec. %. While the mys4
terry surrounding the circumstances Of
the murder Of the unknown young
woman whose body was found nearly
submerged In pond in the outskirts
OF Harrison, N. j. appears no nearer
solution than when the body was dis
covered. The theory which detectives
are working on is that the woman
came to her death In Newark and that
her body was carried to the lonely
pond so that the real scene Of the
crime and the identity .of the slayer
might be concealed The Newark POI
lice are searching for the slayer, who
Is believed to have met the young
woman by appointment III Newark and
then lured her to her death. Evidence
was found yesterday that the woman
was seen In Newark on Christmas eve
BY William Snyder, . carpenter. who
stated after seeing the body that the
young woman had spoken to him In
Newark on the night before Christmas
and asked TO be directed to restau-
rant. He said the woman told him
that she was stranger. Chief Rog.
ers Of Harrison and the detectives are
working under this information, but
admit they are unable 70 throw any
Light on the case.

MES TRY TO REMOVE SIDE
TRACKS.

Seattle. Dec. 31.--Washington mill
men are arming their employees 70 re-
sist any attempts of the railroads %
remove sidetracks In an effort 20 com
mel the lumber interests to resume
operations as part of the projected
campaign to enforce acceptance OF the
increased freight tariff to Eastern
points.
Such information comes from Ever
ett where is is reported that the
Great Northern railway has passed the
word that sidetracks and spurs con-
Meeting lumber and single mills with
the main line will be ripped out unless
the mills recede from their hostility.
This has aroused great indignation
among the manufacturers. and they
are ready to protect their interests
with guns on the slightest provoca-
ton. Said one Of the leading lumber
men OF the state:
Force Justified.
ssIf the Great Northern carries out
it's threat to remove our sidetracks
rather than lower its shipping rates to
Eastern points, though I doubt that
President j. J. Hill would resort to
such an expedient, feel that the lum-
bermen would have just cause to arm
their employees with guns to repel any
such attempts. The removal OF spur
tracks would mean financial ruin to
many mills, for 1t would be at least
two years before connections with the
main lines could or would be replaced
by the railroads. In the eyes OF the
law q shotgun course might not be the
right one, but am certain that the
Great Northern's removal Of the spurs
would be equally high-handed and
wrong"
Are thoroughly Aroused.
Railroad men refuse to discuss the
policy Of intimidation reputed to them,
but the lumber interests say the word
was passed out straight. perhaps only
as a feeler or to scare them, but they
are thoroughly aroused and will not
be caught mapping.
Secret meetings have been held to
add defensive plans, and it is almost
certain that bloodshed will follow any
effort to tear up the tracks. Although
little of this nature has been heard
along the Northern Pacific, a similar
warning has been received in round
about way by some mills on that line
A few Everett mills will resume next
month, but not because Of the threat
of the railroads, and all lumbermen
say the fight for the old freight rate
will be continued to the last ditch.

Schooner Warner Moore Still Floats
Storm Prevents Action.

According to a wireless message from
the revenue cutter service derelict de-
stroyer Seneca. received at Baltimore
Sunday, the schooner Warner Moore was
then still afioat.
The message was to the Maritime E,X-
change at New York, and was to the
effect that the Seneca had located the
vessel and had been standing by her for
thirty hours 1t had been too rough to
either blow up the vessel or endeavorS to
tow her into port. Smoother weather was
looked for by Capt Reynolds of the Sene-
ca
The Moore was abandoned at sea last
week in sinking condition, her crew
having been taken off the vessel by the
schooner Jones W. Paul. jr., and landed
at Norfolk. There is thought to be some
possibility that the Moore may be lowed
into port by the Seneca, but it is generally
believed she will be blown up.
