Fond du Lac.-A wild dash by a spe-
tial train from Red Granite to this
city, distance of sixty miles, followed
by a dash of half mile in a police
ambulance, was undertaken to save the
life of the Rev. George Malecki, pastor
Of the Catholic church at Red Granite.
Father Malecki was stricken with
appendicitis and a physician who was
summoned declared that without an
operation the priest could not live until
morning.
Members of Father Malecki's congre-
cation chartered a special train and the
sick man was brought to this city, the
train making the run in a trife over
an hour. An ambulance was in waiting
and Father Malecki was carried to the
hospital on gallop. Surgeons were in
waiting and in less than half an hour

city the operation had been performed,

Madison, Wis.-Dignitied simplicity
marked the inaugural OF Francis E.

of the state on Monday, Jan. ,.
Not break nor a hitch came to mar
the plans which the committee in
charge of the Inauguration ceremonies

for the day followed another in rapid
but smooth succession.
Gov McGOvern was accompanied
from Milwaukee by nearly 300 loyal
friends who took the trip to see the
consummation of their labors in the
inaugural ceremonies of the day.
The oath of Office was taken by Gov.

POSTAL BANKS OPENED
IN EACH STATE
List OF the Cities Where the Expert
ment ls Being Tried-Deposltors
Receive Per Cent Interest.

Washington.-Uncle Sam became a
full-fedged banker Tuesday when
an experimental postal savings
pank was opened in every state and
territory in the Union, in accordance
with the postal savings bank bill
passed at the second session of the
Slxty-trst congress. The postoff1ces
designated to accept deposits are all
OF the second class, and are located
IN communities where the laboring
element OF the population is large.
FOR the past month Postmaster Gen
eral Hitchcock has had the various
postmasters who will handle deposits
IN Washington instructing them in re-
gard to the details of the new system.
Following is a list Of the cities
where postal banks were opened:
Globe, Ariz.; Oroyille. Cal; Lead
vile, Col; Occur d'Alene, Idaho; An
aconda, Mont; Carson City, New;
ration, N. M; klamath Falls, Ore. !;
Provo, Utah; Olympia, Wash; Lara
ME, Wyo.; Bessemer, Ala; Stuttgart,
Ark; Ansonia, Conn; Dover, Del:
Key West, Fla; Brunswick, Ga;
Pekin, ILL.,; Princeton, Ind. DEBORAH,
Ia; Pittsburg, Kan; Middlesboro,
KY; New Iberia, La; Rumford, Me. !;
Frostburg, Md; Norwood, Mass;
Houghton, Mich; Bemidji, MINI. !;
Gulfport, Miss; Carthage, Mo-; Ne
braska City, Neb.; Berlin, N. H.;
Rutherford, N. J.; Cohoes, N. Y; Sal
isbury, N. c.; Wahpeton, N. D.; Ash
tabula, o.; Guymon, Okla; Dubois,
Pa; Bristol, R. l.; Newberry, s. CT
Deadwood, S. D.; Johnson City,
Tenn; Montpelier, VT; Clifton Forge,
Va; Grafton, W. Va, and Manitowoc,
Wis.
The postal banks will be conducted
on strictly banking lines with the
exception that there will be no pass
books, certificates of deposits being
issued in duplicate Depositors will
be paid two per cent. interest yearly.
The postal funds, placed in designated
banks by the board of trustees, will
yield the government 2A per cent. 1t
is believed that this quarter of one
per cent difference will be sufficient
to meet all necessary expenses OF
conducting the postal savings deposi.
tories.
A careful study of the law creating
postal savings banks makes it clear
that the government will be bene
fitted largely, and that within year
or two after the system has been in
operation Uncle Sam may have all the
money necessary to meet deficiencies
and to make effective public improve
ments without having to appeal to
Wall street for financial aid.

BABYs HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura l sent and
got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolyent, two boxes Of
ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put
them on. / think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

AFFINITY" Artists Second Wife Has
Their Marriage AnnuIIed.
New York-JuIia Kuttner Earle
had her marriage to Ferdinand Pin
ney Earle, the eccentric artist who
deals in affinities, annulled by the
appellate division of the supreme
court.
She was Earle's second wife, hav-
ing been married to him March II,
1908, after he had cast aside his first
wife
The first Mrs. Earle got a divorce
from Earle in Paris to enable him to
wed Julia Kuttner, who was his soul
mate" It appears there was some
irregularity in the filing of the de-
cree SO that Miss Kuttner and Earle
we're married two months before the
divorce was in force. After Miss
Kuttner tired of her artist husband
she took advantage of this irregular
ity. The lower court refused to an
null her marriage. She appealed and

S. B. ELK|NS IS DEAD |
VETERAN WEST VIRGINIA SENR-
TOR SUCCUMBS TO A
STRANGE MALADY.
WAS LONG IN PUBLIC SERVICE
Entered Congress in 1873 as Terri
torial Delegate from New Mexico
Was Secretary of Treasury Dur
ing Harrison Administration.

Washington.-Sen Stephen B.
Elkins of West Virginia is dead. At
his bedside were his wife, his daugh-
ter, Katherine, and four sons, David,
Richard, Stephen and Blaine. Death
was due to septicaemia, or blood
poisoning. He was conscious until
within half hour of death.
Senator Elkins became i'll in the
early summer at his home at Elkins,
w. Va. He was kept in strict con-
f1nement there and only the members
Of his immediate family were allowed
to see him. On Nov. 8, when he was
removed to Washington in a private
car, physicians declared that he
might be able to take his seat in the
senate at the opening of congress.
Senator Elkins' ailment had never
become definitely known. During the
summer he was reported to be suffer-
ing from intestinal trouble in many
respects similar to acute indigestion.
At other times physicians are said to
have believed him afflicted with a
nervous malady.
Senator Stephen Benton Elkins
was born in Perry county, Ohio, Sept.
&c, 1841. He was graduated from
the Missouri state university at Co
lumbia in the class of 1860. He was
admitted to the bar in 1864, and in
the same year went to New Mexico.
In 1873 he went to congress as
territorial delegate. While at Wash
ington he married the daughter of
Senator Gassoway Davis, from West
Virginia.
On Dec. II, 1891, he was appoint
ed secretary of war and served in
that capacity till the close of Presi-
dent Harrison's administration.
In February, 1894, he was elected
to the United States senate, and was
reelected in 1901 by a unanimous
vote of the Republican members of
the legislature. He was again re-
elected in 1907. He was regarded as
one of the biggest, broadcast, brainiest
men in Washington. During a large
part of the time of his service in the
senate Mr. Elkins was chairman of
the important committee on inter-
state commerce.

MUCH UNREST IN PORTUGAL.
Manuel May Be Restored to the
Throne.

Madrid.-Advices from Lisbon de-
scribe the political situation in
the new republic of Portugal as
threatening and that the restoration
of King Manuel to the throne is with
in range of possibilities.
The Diaric Noticias, apparently on
good authority, says the leaders O. a
secret society whose aim was to place
Manuel back on the throne have been
arrested by the government. This re-
port has caused much alarm among
the people The Royali3t faction is
said also to have many adherents in
the army and navy and if trouble
should arise the government is not
sure OF the loyalty of the fighting
forces.
INSTRUMENTATION in the army is said
to have prompted tho dispatch of
three armored cruisers from the har-
Dor of Lisbon to various points.
