1t showed something else. The rug
had been turned back from the Win
dows which opened on the street, and
the curtains had been removed. On
the bare hardwood floor just beneath
the windows was an array of pans of
various sizes, dish pans, cake tins,
and metal foot tub. The pans were
raised from the floor on bricks, and
I seemed to be full of paper. All the
chairs and tables were pushed back
against the wall, and the bric-a-brac
was stacked on the mantel.

-Four short and two long-all right,

Flanagan, here's something

Thank you, sir"
Dial turned to go out, tripped over
the rug, said something, and passed
me without an idea of my presence.
A moment later Flanagan went out,
and l was left. huddled against the

there, full of paper and mounted on

four short honks and two long ones.

THE ALARMING PREVALENCE
OF ECZEMA
Finds Victims Among Every Race.
Age and Condition.

OF all the diseases of the skin and

kind, three-fourths are eczematous.
Millions are born with eczema, and it
is the only thing other millions have
left when they die. Neglect in infancy
and childhood, irritating conditions af-
fecting the skin. ignorance of its real
nature, improper remedies and many
other causes that might be mentioned
have created an eczema which, with
varying severity, has afflicted count
less numbers during their entire lives.
Eczema is a skin disease. 1t is not re-
garded as hereditary, nor contagious.
and is impartially distributed among
the rich and poor, the high and low.
The agonizing itching and burning of
the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usual
ly the most distressing symptom and is
caused by the bursting of little vesicles
filled with an acrid fluid, which burns
as with fire the denuded skin. New
vesicles form, fill and burst, scales
form upon scales, and crusts upon
crusts until Disagreement is added to
torture
One of the most successful treat
ments for eczema, whether applied to
the youngest infant or the Oldest per-
son, is hot baths with Cuticura Soap
and gentle anointings of Cuticura ONT
ment. For more than a generation,
these pure, sweet and gentle emolli-
ents have proved the most efficient
agents in the speedy and permanent
relief of all forms of eczemas, rashes,
itchings and irritations of the skin and
scalp Although Cuticura soap and
ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, in order that
those who have suffered long and
hopelessly and who have lost faith in
everything may make trial of them

John Dalton, who is interested with
Jennie Dalton in the property, and in
the outcome of the suit, is brother of
the famous Dalton boys, the Kansas
train robbers. John Dalton, however,

To a representative Of the Sourdough
just prior to his departure, he announc-
ed the decision, if it stood, would rend
er the property valueless. The trestle
touches the land at Three Tree point,
and the land rises at the point in a
precipitous cliff, 300 feet high. The
piling Of the trestle are so close to-
gether that it is almost impossible for
a row boat to pass, and there is no way
whereby they may reach the public
road.
Judge Lyons holds in his decision,
that the right to sue the railroad com
pany for damages is still left to Lowe
and Dalton. He holds, however, that
where railroad company, under a
right Of way from the government,
erects tracks Or trestles which inter

though Lowe and Dalton still had no
patent to the ground, as the Katalla
company contest was still pending,
they brought suit for mandatory in-
junction to compel the railroad com
pany to remove their trestle, the at

tending that notwithstanding the fact
that the Copper River and Northwest
ern railroad company had right Of

ment, they had no right to build any
structure which would cut them off from
access to their land. The case was
continued in the district court until

received a patent to the claims

road company that while the railroad
company may not have had, in the first
place, a right to build the trestle
which cut Lowe and Dalton off from
access to their land their remedy
aside from suit for damages was lost
by their failure to take any action
while the structure was being built.

Special Agent Georgeson, of the
United States Agricultural department,
says that the experiment station at
Fairbanks will realize $4,000 this year
from seven acres Of potatoes.
The labor on this tract of potatoes
cost the government $3.50 a day,
but at that the entire cost of produc
ing this $4,000 worth of potatoes will
only be about $780, That margin
of profit with which even a gold min

A TALE OF A NIGHT SHIRT HERO

The telephone office at Douglas had
burglar scare one night last week,
and Deputy Marshal Mcmillan would
have been the hero of this story, il it
had not been false alarm.
The Taku was blowing a bowling
gale about midnight It coughed, it
moaned, it ragged, it swore. 1t seized
the window castings and shook them
until they shrek ed. 1t grasped a
loose board, every now and then, and
banged it against the side of the house.
1t tore at the signs, and noisly en-
deavOred to wrest them from their fast
enings. 1t roared and beloved i'm its
mighty carrousal, and the building reel
ed with every blast.
In the telephone office behind the
Alaska drug store, two timid women
listened to the noise without, and
tremblsd now and then az their nerves
responded to the noises Of the wild
night.
Just a little after the grave yard
hour, an awful thing happened-aw-
fpl, perhaps, because the. women "a the
back, Of the drug store could not tell
at first just, what it was that had hap
pened. They were sure, however, that
the locked front door had burst open
and they raised q fearful shrek.
Above. the, noise, OF, the, wind. aboys
the din OF shaking window shash, Dep-
uty Marshal Mcmillan heard the shrek
as he lay in, his warm bed, and his
blood curdled up and down his spinal
column.
But he did not hesitate. Instantly
he jumped to his feet, and without
waiting to even pull his trousers on
