HUMoR BURNED AND lTcHED.
Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs and
FACET Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by cuticura.

about fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. 1t burned and itched so much
that was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. / went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. l finally
concluded to try the Cuticura RENE
dies and found relief in the first trial.
I continued until I was completely
cured from the disease, and / have
not been troubled since. G.. Burkhart,

PLAN TO FORM NEW
 SUPREME LODGE

Kansas City, December 14-A meeting of representatives of the Missouri. Kan sas, Nebraska and Arizona-New Mexico grand lodges of the Ancient Order of United Workmen began here today to form a new supreme lodge, which is to be purely fraternal in its relations to the subordinate grand lodges.
 The meeting here is culmination of the division in the S. A. o. U. which re- suited from the effort of the supreme lodge to control the benefit funds of the various grand lodges.
 Several grand lodges, insisting upon re- taining complete control of their funds, withdrew from the supreme lodge and the meeting hero today Is for the pur- pose of organising a new supreme lodge which shall not attempt control of the finances.
 It was stated here today that the Mas sachusetts grand lodge and the Colorado grand lodge would join in the new or ganization.

 UPON THE STAND New Testimony Is Given ReIa- tive to Divorce Proceedings HUSBAND PLANNED SUIT Mrs. Brokaw Is Questioned Closely About Visitors at Her House at
 One Time When Her Illus
 band Was Absent.
HUSBAND PLANNED SUIT

New York, December 14--In the further ventilation of the domestic differences of MT. and Mrs. w Gould Brokaw Mrs. Brokaw is now suing at Mineola, Long Island, for separation with ali mony of s60,000 a year, it was her hus- band who first threatened to sue.
 A telegram to Mrs. Blair, his mother in-law, was the medium of this informa- tion and contained his version of certain incidents in the case.
 The telegram ran as follows:
 .I have closed my house and am sor- ry to say I must sue Mary for sep aration. Her act eliminating in house party last Sunday night forced me to this step. She entertained three women and three men that day. Two of the women I do not approve of and the third I don't know at all I do not know the men. She allowed one man to occupy by bedroom over night after putting my nurse and one woman in bachelors quarters. She refused to give me the names of the men in spite of my request"
 John F. Mcintyre, MT. Brokaw's law yer, began drilling into all the attendant circumstances of this 'culminating house party"
 Mrs. Brokaw parried his questions as successfully as ever but disclosed some agitation over the nsistence laid on the personality of "Bunnie" Wells, alleged to have been one of the guests
 Mrs. Brokaw testified that she had first met MT. Wells in Baltimore five years before his visit to her house in com pany with Miss Nan Dennison of Syra- cuse N. r., Mrs. Frank Gould, and another man whom Mrs. Brokaw only remembered as "a MT. Thompson"
 Was 1t Mir. Brokaw's room that con- nected with yours?" asked MT. McIn- tyre.
 NO; the door from MT. Brokaw's room opened on the hall"
 And did 1t not open so near the door of your room that from your door you could have shaken hands with a persn standing in the other door?"
 'I never tried, MT. Mcintyre"
 well now, where did you assign Miss Dennison to sleep?'
 "In MT. Brokaws room.''
 wasn't there some change; wasn't MT. Wells family given that room?"
 Yes"
 'Did Mir. Wells come prepared to stay all night9'
 'T think he did.''
 Mrs. Brokaw was excused from the stand after five days of testimony. Her counsel intimated that he would soon produce nurses. maids and other wit nesses to corroborate Mrs. Brokaw's s story of broken doors ana uproarious nights.

NEW PROBLEM FOR BOARD.
Plan To Divide Precincts May Inter-
 fere With Inferior Court.

The Board of Revenue has reached a grave objection to the proposed division of beats 21 and S7. 1t being feared that the convenience thus arranged for the voters on election day would be over balanced by it's interference with the jurisdiction of the inferior courts, which were established by special legislative act.
 It is claimed that the division of the beats will also cut the Jurisdiction of these two courts and make it necessary for the establishment of two more, thus adding to the fee system evil and caus- ing many complications. Competent att torneys are looking up the point and will report their decision in the matter shortly.

COURTS WILL ALL
 ADJOURN FRIDAY

All divisions of the criminal and civil courts of Jefferson county will adjourn Friday for the Christmas holidays. After the end of the present week the two di- visions of the criminal court and the seven civil divisions will be idle for two weeks until Monday, January 3.
 Work in the courts at present is con- fined principally to the matter of wind Ing up odds and ends and there will be- the remainder of the week. The judges in the criminal divisions are engaged in the trial of non-capital cases and only petty suits will come up in the civil di- visions.
 In the city court there Is but one term each year, the resumption in January being only a continuation of the old term preceding Christmas. However. in the circuit and chancery courts, as well as the criminal divisions. new term will be inaugurated on the first Mon day in January.
 The coming term will witness but lit- tie relief of the docISets. The judges in the nine divisions of the Jefferson county courts apparently have all they can do and it is evident that the dock cts will remain as crowded as they have been during the past few years until additional judges are provided. Al judges have been steadily at work since the Septemt er term of court opened and an immense volume of bushes has been disposed of, but the docketo have been crowded with new cases, which are now filed at the rate of about 250 month in all divisions.
 On the resumption of business in the criminal court, two weeks hence, the January grand jury vii be organized and there is plenty of work ahead of the new inquisitorial body.
