HANKRUPT's INTEREST.
Jointly Owned Realty Can Not Be Par
titioned by Referee.

Columbus, O.-Referees in bank
ruptcy under the federal law are
barred by the Ohio laws to bring ac-
tion for the partition of real estate in
which the bankrupt whose estate he
is administering is interested.
This is the law laid down by the
supreme court in the case of George
w. Lindsey, trustee of the estate OF
William Runkle, bankrupt, against
David A. Runkle, Albert Runkle and
others. William Runkle, it appears,
when he went into bankruptcy was
part owner of some property in which
the defendants were also interested
The referee sought to have this prop
erty partitioned so that such as be-
longed to William Runkle could be ap.
piled to the assets for the benefit Of
the creditors. The courts have held
against the referee, and the supreme
court handed down this syllabus in
contention of its decision:
"A trustee of the estate Of bank
rupt selected or appointed under the
provisions of the national bankruptcy
act is without legal capacity under the
statutes of Ohio to bring and main
tain a suit for the partition of real es-
tate in which such bankrupt is ten
ant in common with Others"

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA

when my boy was six years old, he
suffered terribly with eczema. He
could neither sit still nor lie quietly in
bed, for the itching was dreadful. He
would lrritate spots by scratching
with his nails and that only made
them worse. A doctor treated him
and We tried almost everything, but
the eczema seemed to spread. It
started in a small place on the lower
extremities and spread for two years
until 1t very nearly covered the back
part Of his leg to the knee.
Finally got Cuticura Soap, Cuti-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave them according to directions. I
used them in the morning and that
evening, before put my boy to bed,
I used them again and the improve
ment even in those few hours was sur
prising, the Inflammation seemed to
be so much less. used two boxes Of
Cuticura Ointment, the same of the
Pills and the Soap and my boy was
cured. My son is now in his sew
enteenth year and he has never had
a return of the eczema.
81 took care of a friends child that
had eczema on its face and limbs and
I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
They acted on the child just as they
did on my son and it has never re-
turned. I would recommend the Cutt-
cura Remedies to anyone. Mrs. A. J.

GARFIELD DEFINES
HIS ATTITUDE
ExPLAINs HIS POSITION ON
PROGRESSIVE REPUs-
LICANIsM.
POLITICAL LIBERTY is AT STAKE
Says Those Who Seek to Drive the
Progressives Out of the Republican
Party Are Blind to the condition7
and Needs of the People.

Cleveland.-In accepting an in Vita
tion to speak before the new Progress
sive Republican organization of Cleve-
land, on July II, James R. Garfield,
former secretary of the interior, and
ward Of Theodore Roosevelt, wrote
to the organization defining his atti-
tude on progressive Republicanism.
ut is most timely to consider what
the progressive movement means, and
what action it calls for" wrote Mr..
Garfield. Those who seek to drive
the progressives out of the Repub-
lican party are blind to the conditions
and needs of our people. Such parti-
sans would save the word but kill
the spirit"
After describing the revolutionary
leaders as progressives, Mr.. Garfield
continued: To-day political liberty is
theatened by great special interests
who would control our political ac-
tivities for their own benefit, regard
less of the common good. There is
no halfway ground in the fight of to-
day. The special interests must be
driven out of politics and kept out .

eleven o'clock and as we carried
company flag ours was the first flag to
cross that bridge. A portion Of this
historic flag is still In Aaron Wilkes

WILL GATHER DATA.
ToIedoan Employed to Record Govern
ment Grants for Canals.

Toledo, O.-Walter Lemke of this
place has been employed by the state
board of public works to look up and
make records of all canal lands given
to the state by the national govern
ment. These lands comprise 100000
acres. After complete record has
been made the lands which have been
sold or leased will be checked off and
then investigation will be made of the
remaining lands to see if any of them
are held unlawfully by corporations or
individuals. There are scores of cases
in which land held by private parties
and corporations is believed to belong
to the state and the record now being
made will be big aid in settling dis
putes over the ownership.

amount depending upon the size and
location of the farm and the annual

hol distilled in excess of the quantity
allowed is subject to the higher rate
