DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

II wish to let you know Of couple
Of recent cures which l have made
by the use OF the Cuticura Remedies
Last August, Mr.. -- Of this city
came to my once, troubled with =
severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis
In its worst form. It started with z
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body. thighs, elbows.
chest, back and abdomen-and would
terminate in little pustules. The Itch
Ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
Ing to get relief. l recommended all
tho various treatments l could think
Of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions. but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with slight
skin trouble and who had been try
Ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance. told mo she
was going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them 4 fair trial.
But as l did not know much about
Cuticura at that time l was doubtful
whether 1t would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed. es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths OF Cuticura
Soap and applications of Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was COM
pletely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr..
and this was two months ago. told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days use Of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use l have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that I am convinced of
their wonderful merits" (Signed) B.

CARRIES FORTUNE TO GRAVE
French Miser Named An0Iade secretes
Wealth Under ArmpIts Before
Death.

A miser named Anglade. who died
at Pau recently carried part OF his for
tunue with him into the grave and hid
the balance in order to prevent any
one else using the money
Throughout his life Anglade's only
ambition was to amass money, a Paris
correspondent Of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says. He virtually starved
himself In order to save as much as
possible and his only fear OF death
was based on the regret that he could
not take his possessions into the next
world.
He steadfastly refused to give his
relatives any information about his
possessions and after his death his
wife made systematic search OF the
house, with the result that $3.50 was
found in gold and bank notes secreted
In out-of-the-way places.

a moment to feel Of the spavins on
our lower limbs and look longingly
back toward where we had left the go
devil. Then Kidder suddenly and in a
clarion tone uttered the magic word
that has wrung more manly hearts
and thrilled more manly bosoms than
almost any other In tho human Ian
guage:
"Ducks!!"
hastily dashed the cruel tears from
my eyes and gazed aloft. Yes-there
they were-about four dozen Of them
but higher than the price Of apples
at Greek fruitstand. We carefully
snoted their altitude, velocity and orbit,
specialized as to their age, weight and
destination and otherwise thoroughly
enjoyed the spectacle.
We had no more than got the crick
out Of our necks when a second dele
cation of fat and saucy goslings cut
the zenith In the wake of the advance
guard 1t became plain that If we we're
to get any ducks at this particular
point we would have to go back and
get larger guns. Something about six
inches across the muzzle and shooting
In the neighborhood of half-keg of
fine nails might have brought home
the meat, but our twelves wouldn't
even dent their compilations.
After surveying another cornfield we
hitched up our surcingles notch and
paced 1t back to the auto. We next
journeyed several miles west and
south, aiming to locate the spot from
whence the ducks were coming.
Flocks of prairie chickens, fat as but
ter and with crops filled with good
Iowa corn, tainted us as we flew past
several fields. We took another long
look at our license, throttled down
the buzz-wagon and started in to stalk
a band of twenty-seven saucy stubble
ducks over to the left.
We had made a beautiful sneak for
half the distance, when Kidder got an
other jack-rabbit rise. Somewhat to
my surprise and disgust Kidder lei
drive a handful of number fives into
the nearest portion of the jack, which
caused the aforesaid to execute the
prettiest somersault ever witnessed
Hastily picking up the jack We
crammed him into the rear end OF Kid
der's huntingcoat, leaving only his
head, headquarters and several limbs
protruding. We then glanced up ane

She believed that this represented
all his wealth. but when bank clerk
presented a note for payment of a
loan promised by the miser and said
that Anglade had a document confirm
ing the transaction the widow decided
that her husband must have taken the
paper to the grave.
The grave was then opened in the
presence Of magistrate. Packets of
bank notes and bonds, with a number
OF other documents, including the one
sought for. were found under the
mans armpits.
Opportunity was taken to search a
bamboo cane, which, according to
Anglade's dying wish. was buried with
him. Each section Of the cane was
found to contain notes and gold
wrapped in cotton wool.

An UnIaureIed Hero.

Here is niche in the Hall of Fame
for Seth A. Eaton, a rural mail car

horse lying on the ground stifled with

noticed a particularly large and
gloomy vacancy where the feathered
game had been. Back to the auto and
away to the south again.
Sighting a string Of ducks coming
up, Kidder ran the machine into the
shade of barbed-wire fence to con.
ceal 1t, while we crawled several rods
out into COW pond 80 we would have
plenty of inducement for our game to
drop In on us. We held our breath till
we saw pinwheels and finally the
ducks decided to come over. They
were SO far up In the atmosphere
that l threw my gun away and felt
around for my lunch, but Kidder took
a few cracks at them with his piston
oLtion scatter-gun for luck.
Strange as 1t may seem, duck
fell. We could find no hole in the
duck nor any apparent cause fol
death. 1t had a sort Of tired expires
sion on it's features that made us re-
solve to show it to an experienced vet
Urinary before using it.
We then boarded the auto, went an
other mile and disembarked into 6
likely-looking hog lot. Nothing was II
the lot but few last years poke,

them, we went on. AS we were COINS

understood it, we came away.
We then came to gate, on which

This was mistake. There reall,

After some tinkering, Kidder persuad

but poor day for duck-hunters.

BRAND CITY ROGUE'S NEST
Grand Jury Says Criminals Are Har.
bored In East Grand Forks; 80 ~
~.
= Saloon Men Indicted.
RECALLS MIKE DAVIS EPISODE

Included in the list Of East Grand
Forks saloonkeepers indicted by the
Polk county grand jury is little
Harry" who is in charge of the place
where A. E. Mueller, of the attorney
generals Office, said he discovered
Mike Davis.
1t will be remembered that as a
result of Mueller's discovery it had
been planned to capture Davis and
that Bemidji officers went to East
Grand Forks where, it avs said,
criminals of the worst type had gath
cred for celebration. No arrests
were made and East Grand Forks
sent out affidavits to the effect that
no law breakers had been there, so
far as the saloon men or police
knew.
A dispatch from East Grand Forks
now says:
The grand jury has adjourned af-
ter making most scorching report
in condemnation of the police force
of East Grand Forks for allowing
crooks and criminals to be harbored
by the saloons of that city. Thirty
of the AZ saloonkeepers of that city
were indicted, 23 for operating slot
machines; Brown Bros, Charles Pet
erson, manager for the Gund Brew
ing company; Al Perry, trustee in
charge of the Harm & Oeschgar sa-
loon, for operating gambling tables;
and Brown Bros, Harry Hutchins
and several others for harboring
criminals, returning a total of 60 in
dictments.
The last indictment was one charg-
ing Martin H. Pederkin, Fred Dale,
Frank Hawks and Jos. Carroll with
the murder of Ole Jjormoe in Hutch
ms saloon and restaurant the night
of Nov. 7. Pederkin runs the res
taurant and Hawks was a cook Dale
is of a wealthy family at Boone, Ia,
and his mother, Mrs. J. H. Dale and
Harry Garfield, his uncle, have been
here seeing to young Dale's defense.
Part of the jury's report regard
ing East Grand Forks is as follows:
"1t appears quite clear to this jury
that large numbers of criminal class
es have been harbored and allowed
to remain last fall in East Grand
Forks and more especially in vari-
