Too Tough For Hurley.

In the account of the shooting
of Sheriff Radcliffe, the Hurley
Miner has the following to say
in regard to Tony Inperio, the
murderer: "Imperio is a former
Hurley saioon-keeper, he having
kept the New Central saloon for
a short time two years ago. He
was always getting in trouble
while here and the town board
revoked his saloon license and
told him to get out of Hurley
and keep out. He originally
came here from Chicago Heights
where he was identified with a
tough gang of saloon-keepers."

Disappointed because OF the fail
ure of the Hacklev- Eagle River
game to materialize, and a sur
prise at the showing made by
the Scrubs who arose to the oc-
casion and gave the Regulars a
run for their money. Whoever
had thought that Eagle River
lacked baseball material has
another think coming after
watching the game dished out
BY Harry McIntvre's scrubs.
True, the regulars gave Kuehne
to the scrubs for pitcher The
southpaw had but fair support.
OF course theregulars won6 to 3.
but the game was not one-sided
at any stage. At times the odds
were decidedly in favor of the
ragtags and many a visiting
team has failed to put up as
gamev a contest as the fans wit
messed Sunday. With a battery
{ Kuehne and HALL on the scrubs
side who knew the fine points
about the local teams batting
qualities, and a battery on the
regulars { FranlSel and Ewald J
who could pull off stunts, things
were intensely exciting at times
The game was pitchers battle
Both tWirlers came out in good
form and pitched strong games.
The scrubs, as the name suggests,
was congloneration of PLAYERS
gathered from most everywhere
from schoolma ans down to
farmers, and summer resorters
to ball players, but the whole
bunch delivered the goods. The
boys from Camp Winnepe whom
Mcintyre roped into his aggrega-
ton came out Of the encounter
with colors flying, too. We're
looking for another game be
tween these two outfits some
time before the season ends.

An extract from the Berlin
Courant of last week says: Or
B. E. Scott shipped a fine II 12-lb
muscallonge down from Eagle
River Yesterday for the benefit of
his friends. 1t was served last
night at Hotel Whiting and was
mighty good" Ofcourse Berlin
ties must remember that Eagle
River muscallonge are always
prime especially when landed by
a tenderfoot. When DR.. Scott
reeled that 1312-lb. tnusky to the
top of the water he was the
worst scared man one would
ever want to see. When the
guide GATED it, Scott fell bodily
upon the fish (said to weigh all
of 1712 pounds) and hung on for
dear life. Didn't care for his
wearing apparel, but insisted
that the boat be beached as soon
as possible. Kept insisting, even
after the fish had been weighed
that it tipped the beam at 2212
pounds. Wouldn't fish any more
but heat it for his camping
grounds. Told the members Of
his party how he fought and
bled for fully an hour { 5 minutes
before he could bring the 26-lb.
monster close enough to the can
oe for the guide to shoot and
gaff it. of course it was some
fish to the Doctor but to the old
timers up here a fish that size is
used for bait for the big ones. 1t
was SCOTS first musky.

PAINFUL FINGER NAILS CURED

I have suffered from the same trou-
bic (painful finger nai1s) at different
periods of my life. The first time of
its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five
years ago, after trying home remedies
without getting helped, l asked my
doctor to prescribe for me, but it vas
not for year or more that my nails
and fingers were well. The infamma-
ton and suppuration began at the
base of the finger nail. Sometimes it
was SO painful that I had to use
poultice to induce suppuration. After
the pus was discharged the swelling
would go down until the next period
of Inflammation, possibly not more
than a week or two afterwards. These
frequent inf1ammations resulted in the
loss Of the nail. I had sometimes as
many as three fingers in this state at
one time.
Perhaps ten years later I began
again to suffer from the same trouble
Again | tried various remedies, among
them prescription from a doctor Of
friend of mine, who had suffered
from a like trouble This seemed to
help somewhat for time, but it was
not permanent cure; next tried a
prescription from my own doctor, but
this was so irritating to the sensitive,
diseased skin that I could not use it.
began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had used the Cuticura
Ointment previously on my children's
scalps with good effect. l did not use
the Soap exclusively, but I rubbed the
Cuticura Ointment into the base of
the nail every night thoroughly, and
as often beside as l could. I bad not
used it but a few weeks before my
nails were better, and in a short time
they were apparently we'll There
was no more suppuration, nor infiam-
nation, the nails grew out clean
again. One box of Cuticura Ointment
was all that / used in effecting a
cure" (Signed) Mrs. l. J. Horton,
Katonah, n. Y, Apr. 10, 1910. On
Sept. 81, Mrs. Horton wrote: 81 have
| had no further return of the trouble
| with my finger nails"

KING is INDICATED.

British Jury Clears Character of
Monarch In Short Order.
London. = Complete denial was
given in the highest court of England
TO the report, so often repeated, that
King George Y. had made, while the
prince of Wales, a morganatic alliance
with the daughter of Sir Michael
Culme- Seymour.
Edward F. Myths, the local agent
and distributor of the Liberator, a Re
publican paper published in Paris,
which revived the tale last November,
was tried on a charge of seditious libel,
was promptly convicted and was given
maximum penalty of twelve months
Imprisonment.
In pronouncing sentence, Lord Chief
Justice Alverstone said that the pun
ishment was inadequate for one who
had chosen weapon for personal
attack upon his majesty from the use
of which every honorable man would
recoil
The proceedings came 10 a dramatic
close when, after sentence had been
pronounced, Sir Rufus Isaacs, the at
torney general, read letter from King
George in which the writer set forth
that only the advice of the officers of
the crown that such course would be
unconstitutional had prevented him
from appearing personally in the court
room and publicly branding as untrue
the allegation that he had ever en-
tered into any marriage alliance other
than that contracted with Queen Mary.

LABOR CASE is ENDED.
Federation Leaders Fate Rests With
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
Washington.-The closing argu-
ments in the court contempt cases
chiefs-Gompers, Mitchell and Morri-
son-were made before the United
States Supreme court and that tribu-
nal has taken the question Of affirm
ing the decision handed down by the
District of Columbia court sentencing
the three leaders to jail, under advise
ment.
Arguments were made by Judge AL
ton 5. Parker and Jackson H. Ralston
for the accused, and BY J. ]. Darling
ton and Daniel Davenport against
them.
What Attorneys Ralston and Oar
lington had to say was strictly in re-
gard to the law in the case. Judge
Parker depressed to pay a tribute to
these leaders Of organized labor in the
United States, while Mr. Davenport
made a vigorous attack upon the
American Federation of Labor
The officials of the American Fed
Oi oIAOh III AcSDOl anu OLhClS oSSO+ u
ing to Mr.. Davenport, were engaged
in a conspiracy in violation Of both
the laws of God and of man.
The Supreme court at the close of
the arguments took recess to Feb
ruary 90
1t is believed that the opinion of
the court In one or more of the big
corporation cases, including the dis
solution suits against the Standard
Oil company anG the American To-
bacco organization, and in the cor
poration tax cases, may be announced
when the tribunal reconvenes.

TARIFF BOARD ACT is
PASSED BY THE HOUSE
Measure Urged by Taft Adopted 1856
10 e3-AiI Amendments Are
Lost

Washington.-The bill providing for
a permanent tariff board Of five mem
bers was passed by the house just
before midnight last night by a vote
of 186 to &c. The measure, which
was advocated by President Taft,
went through unamended, although
the Democrats made a number OF I'M
successful attempts to alter some of
its provisions.
The session was enliyened by
acrimonious debate, in which Champ
Clark at one time clashed with Repre-
sentative Payne, and in which Presi-
dent Taft was attacked by Represent
alive Fitzgerald for his construction
of the tariff laws provision for the
appointment of a tariff board.
The bill creates a permanent tariff
board in lieu Of the present board,
which is a creature of a provision Of
the sundry civil appropriation bill,
and which will expire by its own
Limitation on June 80 next.
The proposed board is to consist OF
five members, not more than three Of
whom shall be Of the same political
party. The term Of Office shall be
six years for each member, and those
first appointed shall serve for terms
Of two, three, four, five and six years
respectively, to be designated by the
president. The president is also to
designate one of the members to be
chairman
The salaries of the members are
$1,000 each for the other members.
T frs amendment offered by the
Democrats came from Representative
James of Kentucky. 1t provided for
the appointment of three members Of
the board by the president and the
election of the two minority mem
bers by the minority party in the sen
ate and house of representatives.
Mr.. James said he did not think a
Republican president was qualified to
select the Democratic mem bers Of the
bipartisan board.
Mr.. Barnhart of Indiana offered an
amendment, allowing the president to
appoint one member, the presiding
officer of the senate two and the
speaker two The amendment was
lost, $50 to 149.
RepreS entative Coz of Indiana
sought to have the appointees on the
board made subject to confirmation
by the senate This also was lost
The Democrats then sought to limit
the expenditures of the board, first to
S250,000 a year and then to 100000
| q year. Both propositions were lost
Various other amendments offered
BIZ the Democrats were voted down.
