Professional Treatment did No
Good-Daughter had Eczema, Too.
CUTICURA A SUCCESS
IN BOTH THESE CASES

Il had eczema on my hands for ten
years. At first it would break out only
in winter. Then it finally came to stay
l had three good doctors to do all they
could but none of them did any good.
/ then used one box of Cuticura Oint-
ment and three bottles of Cuticura
Resolvent and was completely cured.
My hands were raw all over, inside and
out, and the eczema was spreading all
over my body and limbs. Before I had
used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
together with the Cuticura Ointment,
my sores were nearly healed over, and
by the time had used the third bot
tie, l was entirely well. I had a good
appetite and was fleshier than I ever
was. To any one who has any skin or
blood disease / would honestly advise
them to fool with nothing else, but to
get Cuticura and get we'll. My hands,
cured by the use of Cuticura, have never
given me the least bit Of trouble up to
now. / cannot recommend Cuticura
highly enough, it has done me and my
family SO much good. Ny daughters
hands this summer became perfectly
raw with eczema. She could get moth
ing that would do them any good until
she tried Cuticura. She used two bot
ties Of Cuticura Resolvent and one box
of Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks
they were entirely cured. I have used

lily and it always proved successful.

NEW YORK FUTURES.

New York. April 2s.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady al a decline of 3 to 3
points in response to Indifferent cables, a
favora Bile opinion of the weather map and
a renewal of yesterdays selling move
ment. There seemed to be a good de-
ground that the coming crop now prom
ises at the best to be a late one, but the
old crop was weak under liquidation and
bear pressure encouraged by the prepar-
ations for enormous deliveries on May
and the whole market was very nervous
and unsettled in consequence.
The market continued nervous and ir-
regular during the afternoon. but trade
was less active and prices ruled a shade
up from the lowest, or some II to II
points under the closing figures of yes
terday for the old crop and about to s
points net lower for the new.

Editor Ell Paso Herald:
As a daily appreciative reader of
The Herald L desire To express my APP
probation of your editorial in last
Thursdays issue under the caption "A
Few Pertinent Remarks" Many of US
have been under the impression The
Herald was antagonistic TO our inter
ests in this section, as it seemed 10
encourage the freakish rulings of the
state land commissioner. In my whole
experience as a business man L have
never had to deal with any profeSsed
business concern so unreliable as the
state land office. For example:
In this office is a letter from the
commissioner replying to a request
for price on a mineral section filed
on and awarded. in which he said if
party would send him $1,000 ne would
then be in position TO make a price,
etc Now, in this instance drillers
were ready to proceed with the devel-
opment of this property, but as a mat
ter of course declined to interest them
selves in such an absurd agreement
as the commissioner proposed. There
are many circumstances which 1 could
relate similar to this and, since The
Herald is the only paper that is in
terested in this country, we feel that
know that we have got to contend, and
stiffly. for our rights in the west, as
the politician, especially the land COM
missioner, has only his rulings in
handling this western country to bring

General Espinoff, as commander IN

the valuable documents. He sat down
and began to examine them carefully
After a while he shook his head, mum

Immediately afterwards he returned

roared: You are an ass, Shelmotin.

your drawings. You have given me
copy of my own Notifications. There
was no need of getting these from
abroad
Holy Nicholas mumbled general
Poltrikoff in terror. The major bit his
lips and said nothing.
General Espinoff was smiling when
he left, for Kuntoff was his nephew
and he was happy at Shelmotin's de-

Shortly afterwards Gen. Poltrikoff
and his adjutant were transferred to
