HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA.
Oil of Wintergreen, ThymoI, Glyce-

It really seems strange that so
many people suffer year in and year
out with eczema, when it is now no
longer a secret that oil of winter
green mixed with thymol, glycerine,
etc, makes wash that is bound to
cure.
Old, obstinate cases, it is true, can
not be cured in few days, but there
is absolutely no sufferer from eczema
who ever used this simple wash and
did not find Immediately that wonder
full soothing, calm, cool sensation that
comes when the itch is taken away.
instantly upon applying a few drops
of the wash the remedy takes effect
the itch is allayed. There is no need
of eXperiment-the patient knows at
once.
Instead of trying to compound the
oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerine,
etc. in the right proportions our
selves we are using a prescription
which is universally found the most
effective. 1t is known as the D. D. D.

WALsHAPPEAL COMESUP
Arguments Begun Today In United
States Court of Appeals at Chi
cago-Walsh Will Fight.
(Herald Special. }


Chicago, H., May 11.-Before
Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman
in the United States circuit court OF
appeals, arguments were begun today
in the appeal of John R. Walsh, who
was convicted some months ago of
misapplying the funds Of the Chicago
National Bank, of which he was pres
ident.
That Walsh intends to keep up a
vigorous fight for his freedom is evil
denced by the fact that he has re-
tanned David S. Rose, mayor of Mil
waukee and one of the acknowledged
leaders of the Milwaukee bar, as as
sociate counsel with John S. Miller,
the eminent Chicago lawyer who has
had charge of Walsh's case from the
start If all efforts of counsel fail,
then the former banker and railroad
president must serve his sentence of
five years in the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth.
Public interest in the Walsh case
was revived a week or so ago when
the name of the former president of
the Chicago National Bank was
brought out in the reinvestigation in
the affairs of Peter Van Vlissingen,
the Chicago real estate man, who
was sent to prison for forgeries aggre-
eating nearly 100000 But wheth-
er Mr.. Walsh had a knowledge of the
Van Vlissingen forgeries prior to the
public exposure of the real estate
mans misdeeds, as other men of
more or less prominence in Chicago
financial circles are alleged to have
had, did not develop at the hearing.
Walsh is believed to have but al
meagre remnant left of his once large
fortune. The failure of his bank pre-
ceded his own downfall and since
then he has seen the two Indiana
railroads for which he made such
great sacrifices pass from his hands
into the control of Others Until the
crash came he was reckoned among
the shrewdest financiers in the west

alton.
The grand jury investigation which
led to his Indictment showed amazing
rottenness in Walsh's bank. 1t was
charged that he put the banks money
into hss pocket in amounts exceeding
s100,OU0 aka time. In four years he
realized nearly $S,OoO,OOO on memo
randum notes alleged to have been
fraudulently issued.

chamherlain,s Liniment.

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valuable as
cure for chronic and muscular rheu-
matism, and for the relief from pain
which it affords in acute inflammatory
rheumatism. Those who have used it
have invariably spoken of it in the
highest terms of praise. Lame back,
lame shoulder and stiff neck are due
to rheumatism of the muscles. usually
brought on by exposure to cold or
damp, and are quickly cured by ap-
plying this liniment freely and mas
saying the affected parts. Soreness
of the muscles, whether induced by
violent exercise or injury, is allayed
by this liniment. For sale by Brat

The tarantula, seeing that blood
was liable to be shed, attempted flight
and began to run around the room.
The elder Mcpherson drew deadly
bead and fired, inflicting mortal
wounds. Abe Mulkey wasn't badly
hurt, and milk poultices reduced the
poison in the bite.
The spider lodged the first shot,
but the second one got him. Abe says
he was in greater danger of buckshot
than he was when he found himself
attacked by the tarantula.

Please find enclosed 81 for which
please send the Jeffersonian.
Yes, think we ought to call con-
ference Of all reform factions or par
ties and try and get together under
a new name, preferably the Jefferson
ian Party. At least | think it would
be wise to change the name, as the old
parties and their papers have hurled
such epithets and ridicule at the PeO-
pies or Populist Party that many
good people that would like to break
away from the old parties if they
could find a party to go to that they
had not become prejudiced against.
To pay the expense Of a national
conference, | suggest that every one
of your following send you whatever
they are able and willing to contrib
ute to the cause AS we all expect
YOU to take the lead in this confer
ence business, | think we ought to
put the necessary money lin your
hands to do the work without any ex-
pense to yourself. Then, after the
national conference, let every state
create fund for the organization OF
the party in the states.

views. l am willing to contribute my
share to help get in working shape

My Dear Mr.. Watson-Will you

that prices advanced. Is it move
on the part of capital to crush labor?
What do you think of a plan allowing
counties and cities to deposit their
bonds with the United States govern
ment and issue money thereon, guar
anteed by the United States govern
ment, these bonds to bear / per cent
interest, payable to said government
to cover expenses. Why should the
government increase its debt by Is
suing bonds? Not a dollar is added
thereby, unless some bank uses them
as a basis of issue. Yet our burden is
increased and the few made richer at
the expense of many. Give us an
article on the best plan to create mon
ey and get it in circulation at least
cost to the people.
Very truly yours,
