WOMAN WAS A SOLDIER
Tablet to Honor Barbara Ann
Ouravan, Who Died In
Prison.

Captured by union soldiers as a con.
federate spy and imprisoned in Alton
during the civil war. 1t was not known
until death that B. A. Duravan was a
woman, that she was Barbara Ann
Duravan. and that she had come from
Tennessee. On one of the tablets of

will appear the name Of the only wom-
an buried in the cemetery.
An old citizen of Alton recalled the
story, the discovery that the prisoner
was a woman creating much excite
ment at the time.
With a big batch of soldiers brought
in to be incarcerated in the prison
was frail little creature who gave
the name Of B. A. Duravan. Duravan
had been where the bullets had been
flying thick and fast, had been in the
long marches with Lees army, had
slept out in the open when only the
snow that fell served as a cover to
keep the little soldier warm.
Comrades had. a warm spot in their
hearts for Duravan. The little sol.
der was strong in the belief Of the
southern cause. eager to bring about
the defeat Of the unionists.
One morning Duravan was found
dead in the prison cell and then It
was learned for the first time that the
pale little soldier was woman.

brave woman who had donned mans
clothes to go to war was revived and
her name will be especially emblaz.

Fred Corliss, aged Al years. teamster,
who drove freight team between Hard
day night by being run over by the team
which he was driving. How the acct

thought that the man went to sleep and
was thrown to the ground by the lurch-
ing of the wagon and that in some way
he fell under the wheels and was crushed
to death. Another wagon following the
one which Corliss had been driving,
came along in few minutes and passed
over the body. When the driver jumped
to the ground to see what obstacle he
had struck, he was Mortified to find that
it was human body.
Corliss was seen when he started on
his last trip and was not intoxicated.

for the act. AS he did not come to
dinner, Mrs. Flanders, his housekeeper,

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

1t is fact not generally known that
of all furm products poultry stands
Sfth in value. 1t is estimated that
ne cash derived from the sale Of poub
try and eggs amounts to half billion
dollars annually. 1t is believed that
this amount is being rapidly increased
zach year. due to the fact that farmers
are beginning to realize the profits
there are in well cared for flock OF
hens. When all poultry keepers fully
appreciate how easy it Is to increase
the productiveness of their fowls. 1t
Is fair to assume that this branch Of
farm products will advance well toward
FIRST place In relative value. The fol

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA.
They Clog The Pores-Only a LIZ
quid Can Reach the Inner

Skin.
Since the old fashioned theory of cur.
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different
salves have been tried for skin diseases.
But it has been found that these salves
only clog the pores and can not penetrate
to the inner skin below the epidermis
where the eczema germs are lodged.
This the quality of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous success
of the only standard liquid eczema cure,
oil of wintergreen as compounded in D..
d. D. Prescription. After ten years of
cure after cure, the worlds leading skin
specialists have accepted this as the true
eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to recon-
mend d. d. ID. Prescription at 800 a
bottle, but for the benefit of those who
have never tried the prescription, we ar
ranged with the d. d. d. Laboratories
of Chicago for special large trial bottle
at 25 cents on a special offer now. This
first bottle ought to convince every suf-
ferer, and, at any rate, it will surely take
away the itch at once. H. B. Dutton, Co.
