AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED
IN A DAY

I'm the middle of the night OF March
s0th l woke up with a burning itch In
my two hands and I felt as II could
pull them apart. In the morning the
itching had gone to my chest and dur
ing that day II spread all over my
body. I was red and raw from the top
Of my head to the soles Of my feet and
was In continual agony from the
itching. I could neither lie down nor
sit up. happened to see about Cuti-
cura Remedies and I thought would
give them a trial. I took good bath
with the Cuticura Soap and used the
Cuticura Ointment. put II on from
my head down to my feet and then
went to bed. On the first of April
felt like a new man. The itching was
almost gone. continued with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuitcura Ointment
and during that day the itching COM

The article appearing in the
Wllmot and Corona papers rela-
tive to Ivar Stadstad, clerk of
courts shows how strong is the
hatred of the remnant of the old
gang who tried to rape the pri-
mary law two years ago. Upon
examination of the records in
the office of the clerk of courts.
we lind that for the fiscal year
OF 1909 the total amount of fees
collected are &2,OO7 81, and these
fees We're collected as follows:
Fees collected hy Il. VIM. Foss,

Fees collected by Ivar Stad-

Total fees for year, 1909,

Amount turned in to Roberts
county by Stadstad, 81
Amount fixed by law as salary,
$4,000.
Amount allowed by county
commissioners as clerk hire for
year 1909 is $7.49. 1t will thus
be seen that while the present

OF Sl,995.49, that he has, out Of
that amount turned in to the
treasury the SIM Of 1854. And
lhat the amount of his net re-
ceipts as salary for himself as
clerk for year 1909 is $1,967 .s5.
And that adding the amount al
lowed for clerk hire of 1854,
brings the total amount expend-
ed as salary and clerk hire for
Ivar Stadstad and clerk to the
sum of $1,995.49.
Regarding the statement "in
addition to the fees earned by
the office, he has drawn several
500 gold pieces in the way of
court script, or court certificates,
issued by himself to his wife, at
the rate Of So per day." the rec
ords show that during the year
1909 not one single court script
was drawn by Stadstad's deputy
at the rate of So per day; but
at the rate Of So per day. The
same as was done while L. VIM.
