rheumatism Developed Burning,
Painful Sores on Legs-Tortured
Day and Night-Tried All Kinds
Of Remedies to No AvaiI-Wife
Had Debility and Pains in Back. !
BOTH USED CUTICURA
AND ARE WELL AGAIN.

"My husband had been a great suf-
1erer with rheumatism for nearly fifteen
years. At first it was in his bones, but
after while it was in the flesh and
finally running sores broke out on his
legs, from below the knees to the ankles.
There are no words to tell all the dis
comfort and great suffering he had to
endure night and day. He used every
kind Of remedy and three physicians
treated him, one after the other, with
out any good results whatever. So
one day 1 happened to read about
Cuticura, Remedies. I asked him il
he would not try them. No. said he,
it's no use, I've spent enough money
now.' The next day I ordered five
dollars worth Of Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent.
He began to use them without conf
dence but after three weeks all the
sores were dried up. The burning
fire stopped, and the pains became
quite well. Two years later the pains
and sores came back after he had been
working hard and had taken cold.
But as soon as he used Cuticura again
it cured him. Two years ago I used
Cuticura Pills for general debility. They
did me great deal Of good and made
me well. Three months since had pains
in my back and Cuticura took them
away, too. I can prove this testi-
monial at any time. Mrs. V. V. Albert,

BAD news FOR
TAFT and BRYAN.
The New Jerusalem According to
PhrOphet MarkWelI, will Make
Its Advent Tomorrow Along
With the Darkness of
the Sun and the
Quaklng Of the
Earth.
Especial to The ARGUS.E

Danville, ILL.,, May 2l-There will be
q dark ness of the sun and quaking
of the earth tomorrow, that is it the
prediction of Abner F. Mark well, the
"prophet" of the Soldiers Home here,
is fulfilled. Several of Mr.. Markwel's
prophecies are said to have come true
and he enjoys a great reputation among.
his comrades at the home.
While tornadoes and earthquakes
figure largely in his prophecies, all of
his predictions are not of such q dire
ful nature. Among other things he
says the country will be spared the
calamity OF Presidential election this
year. Just how the country is going
to get around choosing q successor to-
Mr.. Roosevelt as the occupant of the
White House, Mr. Maxwell does not
state, but he declares that such things
as Presidential elections, financial
legislation and warfare against tie
trusts will be altogether unnecessary
when the ''New Jerusalem" reigns
supreme.
The "New Jerusalem" is to take the
place of all the existing Christian
churches and, according to Prophet
Mar kwell, it will make it's advent to-
morrow along with the darkness of the
sun and the quaking OF the earth.

COLONEL MOSBY ILL.


Washington, D. c., May 22-Ooaonsl
John s.. Mosby, the ex-Confederate
scout and colonel of cavalry. has been
i'll fer some time and is now an inmate
of the Garfield Hospital in this city.
He is in his seventy fifth year, hut he
is possessed OF a rugged constitution
and his physicians expect Mim to pull
through his epresent illness unless
oom Paications set in.
Colonel Mosby is one of the most
promdelent OF the surviving leaders OF
the Confederate army, whose ranks
are being rapidly thinned by death.
He gained fame as the commander and
leader Of a force OF partisan cavalry
known as ''Mesby's Rangers" who
were as picturesque and brave and
cavalier a lot of fighters as ever went
to war. No body of Confederate SOL
diers were feared as were Mosby's
men, and the coIenel was their genius.
A native of Virginia, Colonel Mosby
was one OF the first to enlist in the
ca dse of the Copfederacy, and the part
Union commanders wish that he had
never turned his attention to the art of
war.
His raid on the rear of McCellan's
army on the Chickahominy was as
bold q bit of enterprise as may be read
in the history Of warfare. His most
brilliant feat was the capture of Gen
eral Stoughton at that Union officers
headquarters. Scarcely less daring
was his capture of General Sherman's
entire supply train, which he accom-
plished by raid into Union lines.
After the war Colonel Mosby open
ed q law office in Warrenton, Va. He
and General Grant became warm per-
sonal friends, and this affection lasted
in Grant until death. Col. Mosby sup
ported the great soldier for the Presi-
dency because he never had much
faith in Greeley's democracy, and be-
cause he was convinced that with
Grant in the Presidents chair the en-
nifty between the divided sections
would be laid.
From 1878 to 1885 Colonel Mosby
was the American consul at Hong
Kong. During the past few years he
has acted as assistant attorney of the
Department of Justice and has made
his homo in this city.
