escaped going to the State University
by q big margin.
] don't mind telling you that we were
tickled to death over the outcome, but
our rejoicing was soon turned into
fresh trouble. Father made up his
mtnd that we should have some sort OF
an education even II the State Univer-
sity didn't take kindly to the scheme.
SO he sent us TO Notre Dame Univer-
sity, az South Bend. Ind, an Institution
that had a reputation OF being able to
instruct boys when all other attempts
had failed. When we were made ac-
quainted with the plan We felt that
everything was over with us: we had
heard OF Notre Dame and the methods
In vogue there, and we believed that
no Arson could thrive under such
treatment. IL we had been starting for
the reformatory on THAT day when we
bade goodby 20 Marshalltown and base
ball, we couldn't have been more de

the sport, w were given the glad hand

sock ball long enough to pay much at

We were getting lots OF outdoor exer-

for what was coming. Our town was
growing rapidly and now arrivals from

Of excitement over baseball. Father
seemed to be the moving spirit in the

WHAT CURES ECZEMA

We have had so many inquiries lately
regarding eczema and other skin dis.
eases, that we are glad to make or
answer public. After careful investiga
tion we have found that simple wash
of Oil of Wintergreen as compounded
in d. ID. D.. can be relied upon. We
would not make this statement to our
patrons, friends and neighbors unless
we were sure of it-and although there
are many so-ealled eczema remedies
sold, we ourselves unhesitatingly re-
commend d. d. ID. Prescription.
Because we know that it gives in
slant relief to that torturing itch
Because-D. d. D. starts the cure at
the foundation of the trouble.
Because--It cleanses, soothes and heals
the skin, clearing away pimples and
blotches over night.
Because it enables nature to repair
the ravages of disease.
Because-The records of ten years of
complete cures of thousands Of the most
serious cases show that d. d. d. is to-
day recognized as the absolutely re-
liable eczema cure.
Drop into our store to-day, just to
talk over the merits of this wonderful
prescription. We will also explain the
value OF D. d. d. as a household remedy.

DOUBT IF BAILEY
Is U. 5. SENATOR
His Opponents Believe Resignation Did
Not Depend on the Governors
Acceptance.

Washington, April 6.-Trouble may
yet be precipitated in the Senate over
the question whether Senator Bailey OF
Texas is entitled to his seat. On the
last day of the last session of the sixty
first Congress, he suddenly wired his
resignation to Governor Colquitt of Tex
as, and as suddenly withdrew it. Now
it is argued by some of the leading con-
stitutional lawyers that he no longer
is member of the Senate, because his
resignation itself was conclusive, and
did not depend upon acceptance or re-
lection by the goyernor--who refused to
accept it.
But the first question now is, What
has become of the Bailey telegram of
resignation? Anti-Bailey senator's have
been hunting for it in vain They would
like to see just how it was worded, as
this will be important should there be
controversy 1t cannot be found in
the executive Office at Austin, and il
is thought likely here that Governor Col
quit regarded 1t as private and de.
stroyed it.
1t is said by nti-Bailey Democrats
that II he resigned fatty and unquali-
fedly he is ont, and can continue in
the Senate only by appointment or elec-
ton. The failure TO find the telegram
makes the ant-Bailey faction hesitate
to begin the fight; but they are giving
it careful consideration.
