HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

II can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years Of eczema About four years
ago I noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, 1t o became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If l would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think of, l went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll, n set being all l used"

AVIATOR BURNED TO DEATH
Gasoline Tank Exploded While He Was
Flying.

Troy, O.-Forced into the air by the
jeers of thousands, who called him a
coward, Frank H. Miller, aged 20, q
Toledo aviator, took flight at twilight
this evening, and at the height of 200
feet was burned te death before the
eyes of the terrified spectators on the
Miami county fair grounds here.
Miller had circled the race track and
was just starting for a spiral glide wher
it was seen that something was wrong.
The birdman could be seer to frantically
attempt to get lis machine under con-
troll, when suddenly the whirring of the
propellers ceased. The craft then dropped
like a shot for a distance of fifty feet,
when a tiny blue flame was seen coming
from the engine,
An instant later the gasoline tank ex.
plod9d.
When the body was pulled from under
the wreckage Miller's clothing was
burned from his body and his face was
almost unacceptable, Rapid work of
rescuers saved the body of the aviator
from total incineration.

BIG COTTON COMPANY FORMED
Georgia Concern With $4,000 900 Capital
Organized.

Macon, Ga.-An organization of a
four-million-dollar concern, known as the
Southern Cotton Corporation, for the
purpose of marketing cotton, was an
nounced here by George Dole Wadley,
of Bowling Brooke, one of the wealth
lest men in Georgia, and controlling
financial interests of great extent.
The concern will work in connection
with a string of banks operated by the
National Bank Audit Company, of which
William Barrett Ridgeley, former comp
troller of the currency, is president.
The Southern Cotton Corporation will
advance farmers money up to IA per cent
of the normal price of cotton deposited
in warehouses. This cotton, it is claimed,
will be held and when the time arrives
each year when a correct estimate of
the crop can be made, a price will be
fixed and the cotton held until such
price is paid.

Washington.-While the friends of
DR.. Wiley have been greatly pleased by
the presidents decision commencing his
administration of the pure food laws,
there is a growing discomfort becaues
something further has not been done to
lift him from the hopeless minority in
which he finds himself on the board of
food and drug inspection and in the de-
partment.
Congress intended that the pure food
law should be administered through the
chief chemist and the bureau of chem
istry. General order No. 14O still re-
mains in effect and q board of three,
with DR.. Wiley in the minority, is the
real arbiter of pure food questions.
DR.. Wiley testified before the house
committee that Solicitor McCabe and
Assistant Chemist Dunlap generally
voted together in this board. In other
words, Mr.. McCabe and Mr.. Dunlap 1.-THE
former without claims of being a chem
ist) may override, and do frequently
override, DIR. Wiley.
He also testified that DR.. Dunlap fire.
quently waited to see how Solicitor Nc
Cabe would vote before the associate
chemist would cast his ballot. In the
majority of pure food matters the vote
stood Dunlap and McCabe versus Wiley.

Madrid, Spain.-Spain is face to face
with a crisis equal in gravity to that
following the riots in Barcelona in 1909.
The agitation and the power of the agi-
tators on the masses have increased in
proportion to the rigor of the repressive
measures undertaken by the government.
What at its origin was apparently purely
a labor movement has now developed
into a revolutionary conflict, a com,
mune having actually been proclaimed
at two towns near Valencia. At these
places the authorities were driven out
OF the districts.
The affiliated trade unions have de-
cided to call a general strike through
out Spain and the government, aban-
doning the tone of optimism heretofore
maintained, decided upon the drastic
steps of ~"suspending the constitutional
guarantees throughout the country.
1t was explained, however, that in so
doing the government did not seek to
prosecute the trades unions, but it was
made clear that any attempts to stir
up a rebellion would be vigorously dealt
with. All meetings have been forbid
den.
The rioters murdered a judge and
wounded other officers of the court,
which had been engaged in the trial of
those who had been arrested earlier in
the day. The mob was finally dispersed.

ATTACK HARVESTER TRUST
Willing to Reorganize Without Court
Mandate.

Chicago.-The International Harvester
Company will be the next great trust to
be legally attacked by the United
States government.
Steps were taken Tuesday which will
probably result in the reorganization of
the Harvester Company, a $12O,OoO,OOO
corporation.
If the government has its way the
company will travel the road of the
Standard Oil trust and the tobacco
trust to dissolution via the United
States supreme court.
The Harvester people, however, met
the government halfway, instead of de-
flying it and standing suit. They have
embarrassed Attorney General Wicker

lawful" trust, expressing a willingness
to ~reorganize without a court mandate.

WNDICATION FOR SCHLEY
'LOOp" Of Brooklyn Saved the Day at
Santiago.

New York.-The controversy which
followed the naval battle of Santiago
and resulted in a court of inquiry to con-
slider charges that practically amounted
to an accusation of cowardice against
Admiral then Commodore Winfield
Schley, was reopened in a most surpris-
ing way by the publication of a history
of the Spanish-American war from the
pen of Admiral F. E. Chadwick, com
mander of the flagship New York and
Admiral William T. SIMPSONS chief-of-
staff at the time of the battle.
Now comes Admiral Chadwick, who
was Commodore Simpsons chief aid,
with a partly documentary history of the
Spanish-American war and by the docu-
ments given in reference to the naval
battle of Santiago drives home the i'm.
preston that the "loop" by the Brooklyn
instead of being a discreditable feat, was
in fact a brilliant and praiseworthy mil
itary maneuver, for which Commodore
Schley and Capt. Cook should have been
given great praise.

Tommy was a venturesome lad, but
nobody had ever credited him with
sufficient courage to shake his head in
contradiction when the Sunday school
visitor, who wished to show off his
knwledge of Biblical history asserted
that Sarah, Abraham's wife, was the
only woman whose age was recorded
in the Bible. Seeing the disappearing
motion of the little head in the front
row the visitor reiterated: Sarah
was the only woman whose age is re.

STEAMER
HIT BY WAR SHIP
LARGEST PASSENGER SHIP AFLOAT
BADLY DAMAGED.
Cruiser Hawkes. Bows Crippled by I'M
pact and Her Plates Were Torn
to Water Line.

Southampton, England.-The great
steamship Olympic Of the White Star
Line, which left Southampton WedneS-
day with a large crowd of returning
American tourists, lies Off Calshot Castle
at the entrance to Southampton water
with a gaping hole in her side as the
result of a collision with the British
protected cruiser Hawke. No lives were
lost and of the 1000 or more passengers
and crew of the vessels, not one was
even injured. There was no panic.
The accident occurred a few miles
from the spot where the American liner
st. Paul and the British cruiser Glad
iator collided nearly four years ago.
The Olympic left her dock promptly
at 1885 o'clock steaming at a moderate
speed eastward on her way to C~herbourg
to pick up the continental passengers.
She already had on board nearly LOO
persons, excluding the crew.
The warship, moving at great speed,
followed the liner, but apparently was
quite clear of her. Suddenly she swerved
in and before the passengers could real
ize what was happening, struck the
liner on the starboard quarter near the
stern, tearing through a section about
forty feet in extent. The miracle is
that the Olympic was not sunk, as the
Hawke is fitted with a ram especially
designed to sink a vessel.
The liners frame stood the shock well,
and the water-tight doors, which auto
matically closed, held the compartments

TRAIN HITS WAGON,
KILLING SIXTEEN
c. & N. PASSENGER WAS TRAVEL
ING A MILE A MINUTE.
Catastrophe Happened Because Billboard
Hid Two Moving Objects From
Each Other.

Neenah, Wis.-SiXteen deaths proba-
bly, will result from a mile-a-minute
passenger train crashing INTO a party OF
thirty-one merry young people loaded
upon a hayrack here Sunday. A big
billboard obscured from view the loco
motive as well as the wagon. Mist and
fog did the rest.
Twelve persons on the hayrack were
instantly killed, one has since died, and
three out of eight Others injured are
believed to be fatally hurt.
Armless, legless and headless bodies
covered the right of way as the train
of nine coaches was brought to a stop
800 feet from the scene of the crash.
Several bodies were so badly mutilated
that Identification was possible only by
fragments of clothing.
Six of the victims, all dead, were dis
covered on the engine pilot, where they
lay until removed by the train crew and
passengers. Two others were hurled
through a tlagman's shanty with such
force as to overturn the little structure.
One of these, Miss Finn, was still alive
when picked up. She died a few hours
later. Another of the victims killed was
thrown high over a barn fifty feet from
the railway right-of-way.
Among the occupants of the hayrack
who escaped were Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Brizinski md child of two years. They
were seated in the front half of the
rack, the mother holding the child in
her lap. About half way back in the
wagon sat Mary Schwartzbauer. The
latter was hurled about fifty feet and
rendered unconscious. When found by
rescuers the Brinzinski child was in Miss
Schwartzbauer's arms, having escaped
unscathed. The parents of the child
were only slightly injured.
