Il have Wsd the Cuticura Remedies
FOR a very bad case Of eczema with com

years ago the disease developed in the
shape Of a large pinhead on top Of my
hand. II burned and itched 50 much

wash and told me TO apply it before go
ing TO bed and all would be over in the
morning. But the next morning my
hand was all swollen up and / pOulticed
il. When the doctor came TO his Office
showed him the hand and to my sur
prise he told me that he had never ex-
perlenced such case IN his practice and
said it was well I pOulticed it. After
trying his different remedies the disease
increased and went up my arms and
finally 20 my thighs and legs generally
and finally on my face The burning
was something terrible After 1 had
tried this doctor, as I thought, long
enough, went 20 another doctor who
had the reputation Of being the best in
town. He told me IL was a bad case Of
eczema and that it would take quite a
while TO cure it. His medicine checked
the advance Of the disease but no fur

cura Remedies. I bought a cake Of

The general attack on Rama would
have been under way before this had not
heavy rains interfered with the adve nee
Of Zelaya's soldiers.
Estimates Of the strength Of the con-
tending armies vary greatly, but f. is
believed that a total Of 1900 soldiers
will be involved. Zelaya sends word
that he has between 5000 and 1900
soldiers, which would give him nu1ueri-
cal strength over Estrada, but this ad-
vantage is more than offset by the sI-
peTior condition of the revolutionary
army, which also has the advantage OF
being the defending army.
II is believed here that the battle will
result IN P1 overwhelming victory for
the revolutiOnists.
Government Troops Poor.
General Chanlo1ro, the rebel leader.
who is besieging Greytown. reports the
condition Of the government troops there
as critical, botn from a pfSsical and
tactical standpoint. The government
troops. led by General Toledo are
ra sged, underfed, and poorly armed,
ChamOro says, and he is prepared to at
tack the town the moment he hears Of
the successful conclusion Of the Rama
engagement
If General Estrada can win at both
Rama and Greytown this week, the
way will be cleared for an early advance
on Managua. the Nicaraguan capital
the capture of which he believes would
mark the termination OF the war.

work is being done, thus giving the
entire school eleven grades. The
school has an excellent library that is
being increased from year to year.
The accompanying cut represents
the school house as it now stands.
This building has become inadequate
to meet the demands Of the growing
school, and steps are being taken for
the erection of a two story brick
structure The district has been
bonded; the bonds are being issued
and movements are we'll under way
for the erection of the building this
summer.
This school district is a special one,
having been created by the legisla-
ture. In area, it is not more than
three square miles, being less than the
incorporate limits Of the town. The
bond issue, having been made under
the general act. will be small on ac-
count of a small district. Not ov-
O. $4,000 can be issued. but tie pa
irons are coming to the rescue with
liberal amounts and at least 4 $4,000
school building will be erected.

 Cedar. which is very durable, has been extensively used to take the place Wnite oak for ties. but it is so soft nat 1t is readily cut by the rails, This ecessitates the use of tie plates and ther protective devices when cedar es are used. As the supply of cedar
 also running short. it is necessary 'r the railroads to seek further for ew tie timber. One of the woods 7hich has all the requisites of a good e. with the exception of durability, is 10 beech.
 A beech tie generally consists largely of sapwood. which partly accounts for its lack of durability. but, on the other hand. allows a thorough and easy pre- servative treatment. In Germany and France. beech ties have been success fully preserved from decay, and are used very extensively. Beech is found widely distributed throughout the east ern part of the United States. and at the present time is comparatively cheap and abundant. If. therefore, the railroads whose lines are located in the regions where beech is abundant can make use of this wood, treated with some suitable preservative. another
 
 opened up.
 Stumpage values have been increas- ing so rapidly during the last few years that many railroads have found it necessary to modify their timber policy. and they yearly apply pre- servatives to a greater number of ties and to more kinds of wood. Substitute woods naturally vary with different sections of the country, but in most cases they lack the two essential quail ties found in white oak. namely. re- sistance to mechanical wear and to de- cay. Experience proves that wear can be successfully retarded by the use of tie plates and other mechanical de- vices, and decay can be postponed by the application of proper conservatives. The new conditions have made it neces- sary for many railroad companies to meet the problem of preservation by establishing treating plants at central points of distribution along their lines

DESPERATE PLOT
 TO FURTHER SUIT
 OF UNLUCKY LOVER
Wife Brings Action Alleging Deliberate Attempt to Separate Her from
 Her Husband.

Mrs. Josephine Galuzzo has brought suit for damages in the amount of $1,- 900 against Sebastiano Valentino, Ger alleging that the three men conspired to alienate her husbands affections. The allegations of the plaintiff dis close a remarkable story of unreQuit- ed love and the machinations of three men to bring about the separation of the woman from her husband so that one of the men could marry her. Ger lando Pappas was desperately in love with the woman He pestered her with his attentions which were not welcomed. Unable to accomplish his ends in this manner the woman al- leges that Gerlando enlisted the ser vices of his brother ConstandinO and of Valentino to separate the husband from the wife and thus make the way easy. Gerlando failed in his efforts to get the woman to elope with him.
 The mind of the husband was pois- oned against his wife by the state ments of the three, and he left her, taking his two children and going to New York. While there the friends of Mrs. Galuzzo got busy and exposed the whole plot to the husband who re- turned and immediately effected reconciliation.
 Sheriff Richards has served the pa pers with instructions to attach prop erty belonging to the defendants to the amount of $2,0O0 or to take their bod ies if the required amount is not found. The husband will be a valu- able witness for the plaintiff when the case is tried in the Common Pleas court the first Tuesday in April. An other wit ness for the plaintiff will be Carmello Damore who was accused of undue intimacy with Mrs. Galuzzi. The plaintiff is a remarkably hand some woman.
